About: I have worked with a variety of animals including chickens, dogs, cats and horses. I treat every animal like my own. With an eye for detail I will be the most attentive to the animals you call family. I am a college student and taekwondo lover looking to make some extra cash for the summer and upcoming fall semester doing something I love. Seeing as I am setting my own schedule this is perfect for me. Every instruction provided will be followed to the letter and anytime you want to check in you are encouraged to. I will care for your pets as I do my own like family. I will listen to the animal and contact you if anything appears concerning or out of the ordinary.

“Deondre was wonderful! I needed a last minute sitter as my dog recently had an injury to his back and cannot be left alone. Deondre stepped up and was able to come and sit with him the next day. He even carried my 65 pound pit mix up and down the stairs! Would definitely recommend him - especially for bigger dogs :)”


“Mark, did a fantastic job with taking care of my girls in my home while I was on vacation. He was in contact on a regular basis giving me up dates and pictures of my fur babies. The girls loved him and I was very happy with his service and care. I will definitely be requesting his services again.”


“From the very first day Jessica displayed an exemplary level of trust, care and individual attention with our two cats. My husband and I have done some traveling over the past year. The most stressful aspects by far have been finding a pet sitter for our two cats and being able to trust the sitter to carry out the somewhat nuanced aspects of care they require. If you are anything like us, you view your furry loved ones as nuanced snowflakes which can lead to constant worrying about whether the individual watching them really cares for them the way that you do. Jessica’s adherence to instructions and open communication allowed us to relax and know our cats were in good hands from the very first day. She provided great pictures and updates in a timely matter. It was clear that Jessica’s energy was nurturing and attentive as every single picture showed our two cats looking beyond content. They even seemed to be getting along in a way that surprised us! This was surely due to her calming demeanor and loving attention which we felt from the moment we met her. When we returned home after about 10 days it was like our cats didn’t even realize we were gone, which while somewhat annoying to us(🤭), was such an incredible sign! They were loved and cared for in our absence and that is all we could want. Our home was left clean and organized with nothing out of place. Awesome. With Jessica, we feel like we can travel with peace of mind knowing that our precious pets are in the best of hands as well as our home which is truly special. We could not recommend her more highly. Thank you Jessica!”


“Keiaria was great house sitting for our dog! He's pretty high energy, and Keiaria wasn't even phased. She also took great care of our home while she stayed there. I would highly recommend her!”


“Cindy was our first Rover sitter and would def use her in the future! We had a tripped planned when Rex started not feeling 100% so felt more comfortable with someone coming in home to care for him. While we were gone Cindy provided updates and pictures to put us at ease.”


“Lori stayed at my house for 4 days to take care of my two high energy Brittany's and kitty. She did a great job! I loved the updates and photos as well as coming home to two tired pups. Really put me at ease while I was on a much needed vacation. Sadie got to play with a new kitty toy and was very happy to still have her routines. Highly recommend. I am so happy to have a reliable sitter that I can trust will take great care of my fur kids while I am away!”


“Serenity took wonderful care of our animals just as requested. She came a day before to meet them, was on time, and our dog took to her immediately. Would definitely rebook with her in the future is needed!”


“Chrishtian took our Giz on a last minute call thankfully! Babygirl loved being around him from the moment he came over to meet her. He is patient and babygirl was fully taken care of. Thanks again!”


“Kaylah was amazing with our babies. She was amazing at communicating as well which hasn’t always been the case with previous sitters we have used. We came home to very happy animals and could tell she really took care of them and loved them.”


“Kate took excellent care of our dog while we were away for a week! She provided multiple daily updates, was very attentive, and asked lots of questions to ensure she could make our baby girl as comfortable as possible.”

About: I have dogs sat on and off throughout the past couple years. I used to nanny, and when they would go on vacation, I would often find myself taking care of their dog. I care deeply about animals and my own fur baby. I would only leave her in the best hands too . I am a fun, sweet, caring, responsible person. I only want to take good care of your fur baby and ease your pet parent mind while you’re away from them. I have a free schedule and reliable transportation as well as quick responses. I don’t mind assisting with basic house hold chores (for a small additional fee). I often take my dog on walks throughout the week and figured I can make some extra money doing the same for others. I am currently unemployed and I have a pretty free schedule. I study online so I can take my work with me. Pet and home safety is a priority ! I will take your dog on walks and ensure plenty of play time and of course lots of love! I always make sure to clean up after myself and the dog . My free schedule allows me and you housesitting, comfort and a flexible schedule, and just someone to be next to your fur baby while you’re away from them.

About: Ive loved and taken care of dogs since i was a kid. I treat the fur babies just like kids and im everyone's favorite Tee Tee! With me you're babies are 100% safe and loved on as if theyre mine. I know no other way! As for daily I can check in on your babies after 6 pm as that is the time im done with my normal job. As for boarding I prefer to have smaller dogs if for an extended period of time as I have a Great Dane Black Lab mix. He's a sweetie so no worries about anything. He's an old guy who gets excited with other furry friends. I have a large fenced yard where your babies will have plenty of space to run and play. I did have some red dirt exposed back there but I always wipe paws and give baths when it's outta hand. So please make sure to send youre preferred soap jic! As long as your baby is completely house broken they will usually have free roam of the house during the day or even at night depending on how they do night one. That being said I will also as you bring a crate for them and their favorite blankets or bed to make them feel at home.

“Linque took such great care of my babies while we were out of town for 3 days. I have one lazy but temperamental pit bull lab, an loveable energetic goldendoodle, and a cat who thinks she’s a dog. Linique was able to cater to their individual needs. She went above and beyond. My usual dog sitter of 3 years was unavailable but Linique kept me at ease the entire time. Will deff use her services in future!”


“Amanda was great! I was worried about my dog because she’s older. But she was very well taken care of and Amanda made sure Reese’s was in good hands! I will definitely rebook with her.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. My goal is to become a Veterinarian one day. I have five years of Veterinary experience as a Vet Tech. Im currently working part time with Rover. Im only doing sittings at your home due to my neighborhood being not pet friendly. Walks and Baths I would love to have a meet and greet if I am going to be sitting you pet first.

“Kristi is the best. We’ve used her for overnights on 6 or 7 different occasions. Our animals all love her. When we come home, you’d have no idea she was there. She also communicates frequently with lots of pictures. Always feel comfortable when our babies are with her.”
