“My skittish cat warmed up to her immediately. Immediate green flag. She gave me proper updates and put me at ease while I was away. She’s a good one.”
“Joanne was the absolute best! Highly recommend her to watch your furbabies!”
“Jessica is awesome! She took great care of our two cats while we were gone for a week. I got daily feedback and pictures of 2 happy cats!”
“Nicole did a great job checking in and feeding our cats. She provided us with pictures and daily updates. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Nicole for taking care of our cats.”
“Gianna was a super cat-sitter! She was timely and responsive to texts and really seemed to connect well with our kitten, Bubba. Gianna did everything that we asked of her (food, water, litter box, playing toys, sending a picture during her visit) and even left us some things for Bubba and a sweet note for us when we got home. If I could give her more than five stars I would. I hope to ask her back again the next time we need someone to stop in for him! Gianna was a real find!!!”
“Nantikan was amazing, very attentive and sweet with my cat! He can be a little picky, but he loved her!”
About: Both my husband and I grew up with multiple dogs in our household. We dog sit for all of our friends year round whenever they travel. I work in the office 4 days a week but my husband works full time at home. We also have a dog of our own that we let go / walk throughout the day. We have a huge fenced in backyard where your dogs can run around freely! We also make sure to keep anything dangerous out of harms way for any pets.
“Cecily is a better option than asking a friend or a family member. She goes the extra mile. Cecily was punctual and always communicating, I received multiple pictures for every visit and a summary of how it went.”
“Olivia helped me out in a pinch and was super communicative and sweet. She took great care of my frenchie and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“Sandra did a wonderful job taking good care of my indoor cat and the three outside feral cats we feed. I wouldn’t hesitate to avail ourselves her service in the future.”
“Yara was fantastic with our three cats! My husband and I felt so reassured knowing she was watching them while we were away. I would recommend Yara to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you, Yara!”
About: I am a person dedicated to animal welfare and I specialize in the care of adult dogs, although I also have experience with puppies. My priority is that each dog feels safe, calm and happy, like at home. I offer a complete and personalized care that includes: Daily walks with attention to your pace and needs Food according to their schedules and special diets Medication administration (if needed) Baths and basic hygiene care Much love, patience and company Your dog will be in good hands, with someone who really loves what he does. Pet care is the heart of my daily routine. From early in the morning until the end of the day, I organize my time according to the needs of each dog under my care. Each walk, meal, game or moment of rest is part of a routine designed with love and responsibility. I make sure to maintain consistent schedules, adapt activities according to the dog's age and energy, and always be attentive to its physical and emotional well-being. More than a task, taking care of dogs is an essential part of my day to day and something I deeply enjoy. 1. Professional organization of space I have a clean, safe and adapted area according to the size and personality of each pet. I use beds, toys, and differentiated areas for rest, play and food. 2. Structured but flexible routine I plan the day with fixed schedules for walks, meals, baths, and rest time. I adapt to the specific needs of each pet (medication, diet, energy level). 3. Communication with the owners I maintain constant contact with the owners through messages, photos or videos. I inform you about how your pet is, if he eats well, if he plays, or if I notice something unusual. 4. Hygiene and well-being guaranteed I clean the spaces and utensils daily. If required, I give baths or perform basic hygiene care. 5. Security and responsibility I never leave pets alone or in a cage I know basic first aid for animals 6. Love, attention and respect I treat each pet as if it were mine. I strive to make them feel comfortable, calm and loved, like in their own home.
“It was my first time booking through the app and I'm so glad I did! Kristin was great. We needed a short notice sitter and she even made time to meet my dogs beforehand! She sent me text updates throughout the weekend with each time she dropped by and sent me pictures of my dogs and what they were up to! Can't wait to book with her again!”
About: Although I’m new to Rover, I bring years of personal experience and a lifelong passion for animal care. I’ve grown up with animals and have hands-on experience with pets of all ages and personalities from playful puppies and senior dogs to cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more. As a proud dog mom to a husky and a shepherd mix, I’ve learned that patience (and a sense of humor!) goes a long way. I have a solid understanding of basic training and commands, and I’m passionate about creating a calm, loving space where every pet feels safe and cared for. Currently my schedule is open and flexible to helping your furry friends whether it’s just for a walk and extra play time or an extended visit. Feel free to message me to set up a meet and greet! Whether you have a playful pup who needs regular exercise or a cuddly cat who craves companionship, I'm here to provide reliable and loving care for your pets in the comfort of their own home.
“Short trip out of town for 2 days with no worries as Joy had our Dixie covered. So nice to have someone that our pup loves & that we trust. We LOVE Joy!”
“Angie cared for our dog and did a great job. She was prompt for drop in visits and spent time playing fetch with him. We loved receiving photos of our pup while we were away. Will definitely use Angie again to care for our dog.”
About: I have given care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am comfortable with all personality types, and sizes. I also have experience with cats, as an owner and sitter. Although I am a full time student and full time worker, I always make time for the pets in my life. I work full time but remotely, so I am able to take on pet care from anywhere. I have weekends and holidays off, which allows for more play time! I have my own dog who is hooked up and supervised when outside. I also have a pet first aid book and carry supplies on me.
“Eve was on time, was very friendly and my dog had a a great time with her! I will definitely be booking Eve again.”
“There are not enough words to describe how well Chelsea did with Leroy! I knew it wouldn’t be easy for her since he is only use to me and it was his first time being away from me. Chelsea was patient with him and did her best and more to make him comfortable, tend to his needs as well as all my special requests. She kept me well informed every time she checked in for her visit with Leroy. I for sure will be using Chelsea in the future and highly recommend her!!! Thank you Chelsea ! Leroy thanks you too!”
“I have had Sarah watch my little girl cat Fido in previous weeks and this past weekend she did a double overnight. I was very nervous about leaving Fido but Sarah took those fears away. The house was left in fine condition and Fido was the same as ever. I will have more pet sitting needs in the near future and Sarah will be first choice.”
