“Jane is awesome! We have a reactive Chihuahua and Jane handled our first meeting with patience and a great attitude. We're looking forward to continue working together and providing our dog with a trustworthy caretaker”

My lifelong dedication to dogs drives my commitment to their well-being • Advanced Training Skills: Proficient in prong and e-collar techniques, I specialize in obedience and behavior training for high-drive breeds like my German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois. I use positive reinforcement alongside these tools to ensure clear communication and effective results. • Puppy Training: I’m skilled in puppy socialization, house training, and foundational commands, helping young dogs develop into confident, well-mannered adults. • High-Energy Breed Expertise: My background with working breeds ensures I can meet the physical and mental demands of active dogs through structured walks, games, and enrichment. • Personalized, Reliable Care: I tailor my approach to each dog’s needs and provide detailed updates to keep owners informed.

I have a full fenced large backyard and dogs are always supervised. I also make sure to keep everything clean and sanitized with dog friendly products
“Brandi was so nice, extremely professional, and very communicative. She gave our kitty the attention he needed during our long weekend away. It was great to get pictures of him on Christmas morning and know he was doing ok on his own. Brandi put us at ease!!”

About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember, from growing up with a cat to horseback riding, owning a horse, helping care for other people’s horses, walking friends’ dogs and having dogs of my own, including a German shepherd and two dachshunds. I currently don’t have pets, which is a big reason I’m signing up for Rover. I miss having animals around and would love to help care for yours. I’m an avid walker and hiker, so getting in my steps with a furry companion sounds wonderful. I’m comfortable with both larger and small dogs, and I also love cats, whether that means cuddling, giving them space or simply making sure they are well cared for. While I’m new to pet sitting through Rover, I’m a responsible, competent and trusted animal lover. Having had my own dogs, I know how much it means to find someone reliable and kind to care for your furry family members while you’re at work or on vacation. I’m a semi-retired freelancer with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I prefer early morning through mid-afternoon visits, but will try to be accommodating according to your schedule. I don’t have a fenced yard and am not able to host pets in my home, but I’m very happy to come to you for drop-in visits, cat care and neighborhood walks. I love getting outside with dogs and am equally happy to to spend indoor time with cats.
“Amari did a great job of caring for our two cats while we were away. She followed all instructions, and when we got home the place felt like we’d just left. They seemed in a good mood too!”


“It was such a relief to have Chelsea stopping in on our cat Murphy! Chelsea was able to administer a pill orally and gave us such peace of mind. Murphy was calm and happy with her check ins. She’s on top of details- gave us a heads up when Murphy came down with a little sneezing our last day away. Very very happy to have met Chelsea and looking forward to Murphy being well looked after for future stays!”


About: Hi, my name is Angie! I love animals like my blood relatives and I would love to be your next fur baby caretaker! I've lived in a house with 3 dogs for my entire life, and love to play, walk, relax, and explore with them. Since I was 8 I've been actively taking care of pups (feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, and cleaning up after them), so I'm definitely confident with taking care of dogs. My earliest memories were with a Husky, Doberman mix, and Super-mutt, and then I grew up with my GSP, Australian Shepherd, and Chi-Poo (who is now the happiest 14-year-old old lady). In college I also fostered cats – a sibling duo I took care of for 6 months, as well as a litter of 6 kittens – so I love to be with both dogs and cats alike, and know how to take care of both sweet creatures :) I'm available for dog walking, dog sitting, or cat sitting, and have availability throughout the week (with only Sunday afternoons fully blocked off). I can take care of small and big dogs alike, and love to be active – so no amount of energy is too much for me! I have taken care of dogs from 6 weeks to 14 years, and cats from 2 weeks to 6 years old. I just graduated from USC, and I'm very responsible and know how to look after and take care of our precious pets. Feel free to reach out today with any questions about future care, and I look forward to becoming your pet's best friend! I'm free for walking throughout the week, and am very flexible with my work schedule since I'm a figure skating teacher. Sundays I am unavailable from 11AM-4PM, but I am otherwise available to take care of your pets or board for a period of time. I have lots of toys, treats, and love to give, and having experience with both old and young pets, I adapt to energy levels very quickly and know how to build connections and trust with animals. I am very clean and responsible, and if any mess is made I clean it right up. I can find a way to make even the smallest space a wonderland for pets, and am confident that I can keep them entertained until their humans return.

About: I grew up with two dogs and currently have a cat, so I have years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My dogs are still an important part of my life, and caring for them has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you're away. 🐾 I'm a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, walks, and check ins while making sure pets receive the care and companionship they need. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care for every pet. 🐾 For drop in visits, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow each pet's routine by providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes or taking dogs out for potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I always respect your home's rules and make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before leaving. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer approach, I adapt to their needs to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾🐶🐱
About: What’s the most important thing all dog owners want to know before entrusting their dogs to a stranger? Well first of all I’m from Jersey. I’ll play with your dog, make sure they’re happy, take them on a walk, not lose them, and feed them only what you tell me to feed them. No human food, I promise. Unless of course that’s in your list of food to give them. Of course hydrate them as well. I know the do’s and don’ts of a dog’s diet since I have 2 of my own. I’ve also been fostering dogs on and off for the past 3 years. I am known to be reliable and responsible, so I can assure you that you can rest easy with leaving your dog(s) in my care. Or if you have a cat, I also get along super well with them since I also have 2 of my own! I work from home so I do have some flexibility or if you need eyes on your little one for long hours I will also be able to do that. I do have 2 cats so I have pet gates up to separate my cats from any dogs. The dogs get free roaming of the living room which tends to be enough for my two dogs plus any friends they’ve had over. Routine in my home is key. At your home, I’ll stick to your routine and respect your house rules. Whatever you require, it will be respected.
“Ali was able to visit my cat on last minute notice after I had to go out of town unexpectedly. She communicated well and sent several pics during the visit. Everything was in order when I returned. Would book again.”

“Eliana, once again, took great care of Bella. She was also super responsive when I had to contact her over a mix up with someone else getting access to the house.”
About: I have experience caring for all sorts of pets including big and small dogs, cats, rodents and reptiles. I love being around animals and have a great understanding of what they might be telling us through body language and visual cues. I grew up with no less than 3 dogs in the house at a time. Caring for neighborhood pets, nanny family’s pets and friend’s pets. Although I feel comfortable around pets, my approach is always calm, cautious and respectful. I will make sure your furry friend feels comfortable and safe. I am available weekdays in the early afternoon and some weekends. I have a full time job that finishes early in the day and need some extra income and something nice to do in my free time. I always care for clients pets based off of information I gather ahead of time about the pet as well as visual cues that the pet is signaling. My approach is always observant, calm and respectful of the pet’s needs.
“Pixie has helped me twice now with last second trips / bookings due to family emergencies. Her care and attention to detail is amazing. My cats adore her. Highly recommend!!! Thank you Pixie - as someone with chronic illness too - you have been so helpful!”


“We were new to the neighborhood and were worried about finding a sitter for two shy cats who had been through a chaotic move. Alina was thoughtful and well attuned to their needs. 5 stars!”

“Day was fantastic!! Really wonderful, empathetic care & attention to detail for our kitties. We were traveling for 10 days and felt at ease knowing we were in good hands. Great communication and appreciated pictures from each visit. We will definitely be booking again for all future travel!”

“Lanice has been a life saver! My puppies love her and are always excited to see her. They are large breed and each time she see’s them they have grown a bit, but she takes it it stride. She is definitely flexible and I am happy to use her when she is available.”

About: I have 20+ years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors.

Pet care fits naturally into my routine, with availability early mornings and evenings during the week, midday visits from 12–1 PM depending on location, and flexible, open availability on weekends. I provide care that follows their routines closely. I prioritize safety, clear communication, secure environments, and attentive supervision to ensure pets feel comfortable, calm, and well cared for.
Emerald Isle pet parents share their Rover experiences
Camille was an amazing cat sitter! As a cat owner herself, she truly understands how much cat parents care about their pets and the little details that matter. She was very responsive, reliable, and always on time. I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such caring and capable hands. She kept me updated, followed all instructions carefully, and treated my cats with genuine love and attention. I highly recommend Camille to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

Wow. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the experience was having Alex look after my 2 kittens. It’s always stressful to be away from pets, but all of the positive reviews I read about Alex turned out to be true. He gave detailed reports of his interactions with my little guys and sent lots of photos. This gave me so much reassurance that all was well. I recommend Alex 100% if you want the very best care for your fur babies.

Barbara is the best sitter! She takes care of my cat Lancelot every time we travel. She gives him a lot of love and affection, and will go far and beyond to take care of unexpected things that happen when you travel (like plumbing issues). Thank you, Barbara!

Tomoko was a great pet sitter for my senior cat. She is very kind, generous, and accommodating, and my cat was genuinely cared for while i was away. She sent very detailed updates and took great pictures. I felt so safe that my cat was in her capable hands and I will gladly book her services again next time.

We’re so thankful we found Maria to care for Odin and Loki. She was on time, kept us in the loop, and the boys were clearly happy and relaxed with her. From the first meeting, it was obvious she had a natural way with dogs, and we felt comfortable. She stayed responsive to our questions and made the whole experience stress-free. Truly grateful for her help — we’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her!
