Kayla did a fantastic job! I’ve never hired a pet sitter before, so I was really nervous about how my animals would do. She was very reassuring and sent me pictures and updates every day. She did fantastically with the dogs, especially my really anxious one. I appreciated how attentive she was to my dogs’ health. She let me know quickly when one of them inevitably puked from stress and made sure they were both happy and tired before leaving for the day.

Destini took care of my baby for 8 days. Sandy has separation anxiety and I can’t bear to leave her on a boarding facility that long. I have found Destini’s profile here in Rover. Messaged her and we immediately set up a time and date for a meet and greet. Sandy warmed up to her pretty fast. Plus, Destini is very patient, very professional and I can feel that Sandy will be in good hands with her. I have peace of mind all throughout my trip. Thank you so much Destini! 💕

We left our large breed- very spoiled and routine driven dog in Patricia’s care for a week. We had concerns at first because our Dog has never been left alone for much more than a few hours. Patricia experience, knowledge and caring made our summer vacation a pleasant experience. Patricia even took pictures and send updates to my wife which also helped elevate some concerns and stress We highly recommend Patricia .

Elena is very gentle and calm with our elderly dog with severe separation anxiety. Yet, our younger, playful, enthusiastic dog is very happy with her, as well. She is knowledgeable about dogs and their needs, and prompt and responsible. Thank you to Elena for taking such good care of our pups! We will definitely hire her again!

Tammi is an excellent pet sitter! I will definitely ask her to come again. She was very attentive to Sunny and sent me daily updates while we were away for a long Memorial Day weekend at the beach. I felt very comfortable having Tammi in my home and know Sunny was very well cared for and she left my hone in better condition than when she arrived! Thanks for taking such good care of my dog and our home. I really appreciate all the love and attention for Sunny!

About: What sets me apart is my combination of experience, skills, and genuine love for animals. I've been around pets my entire life and have a natural ability to connect with them. Beyond just basic care, I'm also comfortable with senior care, including administering medications, understanding their specific needs, and ensuring they're comfortable and happy. I'm patient, observant, and always put the pet's well-being first! Pet care fits seamlessly into my Monday through Friday routine. I've structured my day to prioritize pet needs, ensuring they receive consistent attention and care. I typically start with early morning walks and feeding, followed by playtime or exercise sessions to keep them active and engaged. Throughout the day, I incorporate regular check-ins for potty breaks, companionship, and administering any necessary medications. In the evenings, I dedicate time for relaxation, such as cuddling or gentle grooming, to help them wind down before bedtime. Weekends offer more flexibility for extended outdoor adventures or socialization opportunities, depending on the pet's preferences and energy levels. Overall, pet care is a central focus of my daily and weekly schedule, ensuring pets receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment. I ensure they have access to nutritious food, fresh water, and a cozy place to rest. Regular exercise and playtime are incorporated into their daily routine to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and socialization opportunities to help them feel loved and secure. In clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions and preferences to maintain consistency with the pet's usual routine. I pay close attention to their feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medications they require. I also make sure to keep the environment clean and tidy, and I always respect the client's property and belongings. Whether in my home or a client's home, my goal is to provide the highest quality of care and ensure the pet's well-being and happiness.

About: Growing up as a farm girl taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all personalities and sizes. I’m comfortable with high-energy pets, shy pets, senior animals, and multi-pet households. I also have experience caring for young animals, including bottle feeding kittens and providing extra attention to pets that need specialized care. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets — I pay attention to their routines, behaviors, and comfort so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your animals with someone else, so I provide dependable communication, photo updates, and personalized care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive attentive, reliable care every time. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my multiple part-time jobs because I’ve learned how to stay organized, reliable, and flexible with my time. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I intentionally plan ahead so I can give each pet sitting visit my full attention and consistency. Because my jobs are part-time, I have built-in availability during mornings, evenings, and flexible gaps in the day that allow me to provide dependable check-ins, walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m used to balancing responsibilities, so I’m careful about only accepting bookings I can fully commit to without rushing or cutting corners. Pet sitting is something I genuinely prioritize in my routine — it’s not just extra work, it’s time I set aside to care for animals, give them attention, and make sure pet parents feel confident and updated while they’re away. I offer flexible care depending on what works best for you and what your pet is most comfortable with. In your home, I focus on keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible for your pet. I follow their normal routine for feeding, walks, litter box care, medication if needed, and playtime. I also make sure they get attention and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. I respect your space, keep things clean and organized, and provide consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. If care takes place in my home, your pet will be in a calm, safe, and supervised environment where they receive the same level of attention and routine-based care. I make sure they have a comfortable space, regular outdoor breaks or playtime, and a low-stress setting that feels secure and welcoming. I limit distractions and other animals as needed so each pet gets proper individual care. In both settings, my goal is the same: to make your pet feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they’re in responsible hands.

About: Hi! I'm Julie! While new to the pet/housesitting world, I have taken care of dogs, cats and horses since childhood. I've also been a human caregiver. I'm a retired RN of 35+ years who also worked in veterinary medicine as a vet assistant for 5 years. My love of animals has persuaded me to pursue a career of providing care to your furry family members. My preferred fur clientele would be mature adult/senior small dogs or cats (kittens or adults) who prefer to stay in their own familiar surroundings. As the mom of a special needs dog (epilepsy) I'm well versed in giving medications and providing seizure care. With owner direction and observation of administration, I would feel comfortable administering injections. Whether your pet is into sedate leash walks, snuggles, belly rubs or prefers self entertainment with toys or observing the outside world, I'm happy to oblige. My schedule is generally very flexible and my goal is to take care of your fur babies and your home as if they were my own. I'm currently working as a contract nurse and am able to set my schedule on a monthly basis. This allows flexibility for your sitting needs. I have 3 furry family members of my own. I have 2 standard poodles inside and a tuxedo longhaired cat that's in and out. All have been spayed and receive regular vet care. One of the poodles is special needs due to epilepsy and is on multiple medications daily to prevent seizures. I will care for your pet in your home as if they were my own.

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have been actively involved in caring for them from a young age. Through owning dogs and helping with their daily care, I've gained experience with feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, and providing lots of attention and affection. I've also pet sat for friends and family, including caring for up to five dogs at once over a weekend. This experience has allowed me to work with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident in my care. I have open availability Monday - Friday and can provide care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and overnight stays if needed. Im flexible and happy to work with pet owners to meet their pets' schedules and routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel comfortable and confident that your furry baby is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!

Brett was great with our dogs! We did a meet n greet the day before, and our dogs settled in with him fairly quickly when he came to house sit. He sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which was very much appreciated. We felt very comfortable knowing our dogs were so well taken care of while we were gone. We highly recommend Brett!

About: I have some experience taking care of dogs. I once pet sit two cats and two to four dogs for one neighbor. Other than feeding dogs and checking water, I am open to walking small to medium-sized dogs. I currently work full time, Monday through Thursdays from 2:00pm to 12:30am. I am available for pet care before noon on weekdays, and all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I used to have one senior cat in my apartment in which my main duties were feeding it, checking her water, scooping her litter box, and most importantly playing with her.

Sara was a lifesaver! She helped house sit our two greyhounds and a guinea pig on short notice, salvaging a family vacation. She was responsive while we were away and when we got home, everything was as we left it and it was clear the dogs (and pig) had been exceptionally well cared for. We'll definitely be requesting her services in the future.
