About: I've taken care of family, friends', and neighbors' animals for 8 years now. I'm always the go-to person to call and genuinely enjoy helping with whatever is needed. I have experience with dogs (big or small), cats, and even reptiles. I've fostered kittens in the past (and even kept two), so I know how to handle younger animals. I've also cared for senior cats, so I'm ready to learn about any accommodations your pets may need. I am currently on summer break from College, so my schedule is very flexible. I don't have set free days, but I can work throughout the week and weekends. I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I keep things tidy, follow your instructions to the letter, and make sure your pets stick to their familiar routines to reduce stress.

About: I’ve taken care of my girlfriend’s family’s 2 rottweilers and 1 miniature schnauzer, as well as their 2 cats, for periods of time that stretch from 3 days to 1 week. I always pay attention to the owner’s instructions on what the pets need, how to keep them entertained and healthy, and at what times to do what things. I will always put your pets’ safety first and provide the best service I can offer. Not currently working part time so pet care will be much easier and more efficient for me. Weekends are a coin toss as I may be on call on those days. I am a fast learner, so I will ensure that all your pets will be safe and doing their normal behaviors throughout your house, I will make sure no animals can run out and I will treat your pets with the utmost care and respect.

About: With being a dog-owner and pet lover for over 8 years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and caring for dogs of all sizes. From energetic puppies to senior dogs all requiring special attention, I’ve developed a strong intuition for understanding each dog’s personality and making them feel loved and safe. Some skills of mine include administering medications, providing playtime, and maintaining consistent skills that help both dog parents and dogs feel comfortable. I treat every pet as if they are my own by creating a nurturing and joyful environment that any tail can depend on. This summer, I have a flexible and currently open schedule, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of dog care needs—from daily walks and drop-in visits to extended sitting and last-minute bookings. Whether your dog needs midday attention while you’re at work or full-time care while you're away, I’m available and ready to help. My open availability means I can adjust to your routine and provide consistent, reliable care whenever you need it most. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize comfort, safety, and routine. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality, habits, and needs—whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, providing medications, or simply offering extra cuddles and playtime. I make sure to maintain a calm and respectful presence in the home, keeping everything clean, secure, and just the way the owner left it. I also keep in regular contact with updates and photos, so clients can feel confident and reassured while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and happy as they do when their family is home.

About: Hi, my name is Mackenzie. Growing up, I was frequently around pets including caring for my own and helping my mom with pet sitting. If there was an animal at any event, you could almost guarantee that I was snuggled right up beside them. My love for animals has only grown as I have opened my heart and my home to these amazing creatures. Over the years I have cared for numerous animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and lizards. I currently share my home with two adorable bunnies. Pets require a lot of hard-work and dedication, but the reward of a happy pet is worth every amount of effort. If needed, I am able to assist any animals with behavior issues or that require special care such as taking meds I currently work part time from 1pm to 6pm and have weekends free so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I am a very attentive pet sitter. If a pet is not already cuddled up next to me, I take regular breaks from whatever I am doing to check on them. Even if I bring my homework, I will make sure your pet is my number one priority and does not get into any trouble

Jelena K.

“Jelena stayed in my house when I was away for a few days and provided wonderful, gentle care to my two beloved collies. I am uncomfortable about leaving them, but after first going to a dog park with Jelena and the two dogs I was confident about leaving them with her and could attend my faraway conference with unimpeded enjoyment.”

Mackenzie S.
“Mackenzie did an amazing job taking care of my dogs! She took them to the park everyday on top of taking them for daily walks. Mackenzie even took the time to groom them and spent time the majority of the day with them as I had previously stated that one of my fur babies has separation anxiety. I could tell how much she cared for them and when I came back home, I found my dogs snuggled up next to her on the couch. I will 100% book her again for any pet sitting needs.”


Jenny M.
“Jenny is excellent with animals. She shows great compassion for all sorts of creatures, not just dogs and cats. She wants to make sure they are taken care of and healthy. Jenny has worked hard to provide food and treatment for several cat colonies, in one neighborhood even participating in the trap neuter and return program with the city's animal shelter to treat over 50 feral cats, allowing the neighborhood to recover from overpopulation. She has cared for many pets, both dogs and cats as a sitter and as a foster to help toward adoption. She is attentive, detailed, and very reliable with pets, and can't resist stopping to say hi to a new animal friend. I highly recommend Jenny for your Rover.com needs.”
