About: Hi! I love dogs and treat them as if they were my children. I grew up with dogs in the household. From having a husky, shih-tzu, and now 2 havanese! I have 17 years of experience and I dogsit my family's pets frequently. I work mostly from home allowing me to have as flexible schedule. I take out my own dogs multiple times throughout the day for potty. I can do daily walks as I try to take my own out as much as possible. I have two friendly dogs- one is very playful and loves meeting other furbabies. I live in a townhouse where there's space to take out the dogs in the yard. Your dog will be in great hands! I work mostly from home, so I have a flexible schedule. This allows me to walk the dogs throughout the day and keep an eye on them. I have two friendly dogs, one loves to play! I can crate if desired. I also have 2 levels in my home where I can separate them if needed.
“Laura has provided such loving care for our pets, particularly our senior cat. I am so thankful I found her and will continue to utilize her services going forward. I highly recommend her!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Drake ]took amazing care of our pups while we were away—providing regular updates, photos, and making sure our dogs felt loved and comfortable. It was clear from the start that he genuinely cares about animals. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone responsible, kind, and trustworthy!”

“Sarah is a wonderful person. She was fantastic with our dogs. She goes out of her way to make sure they’re happy and safe I could not a better pet sitter. She is a wonderful person five star all the way.”

“Jennifer was wonderful with our elderly cat, Ricky. She made sure he was well taken care of during the recent huge snowstorm (and even had the front walk and steps cleared). We came home to a happy, purring cat and everything was immaculate.”

About: Not only have I cared for other people's animals, but I have a furry friend of my own. I know what it takes to love and care for our little family members, and I know what an owner would expect from a caregiver. I take time out of every day to ensure my dog has the best possible care I can provide, and I'll give the same effort to your pet. I have always felt a special bond to animals. At a young age I started caring for animals and slowly gaining more responsibility over their care. I have left food out and changed litter boxes for cats while owners are away, and stayed over for multiple days to care for rescue dogs who needed the company and support while their owner's were away. I work 100% from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I am a professional and already use my break times to get outside and take walks / go to parks, so getting your pet exercise is not an issue. I defer to the requests and comfortability of each client. Every pet is unique, and I want to give the best possible care for each furry friend.

About: Hi everyone - currently work from my house and have a really flexible schedule, my 9 year old dog, Kona, loves playing with other dogs, so I thought this would be a good fit. He is really social and well behaved. I have experience taking him on lots of pack hikes, usually with 2 or more dogs, off leash, but also spend a lot of 1x1 time with him. I have had him since he was a puppy, and have plenty of experience with younger dogs as well. I drive an SUV so I can easily accommodate dogs in my car as well. Hope to meet you and you dog(s) soon! I’m currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I work from home and also teach yoga a few times a week. I have an SUV so can transport! I’m also familiar with a lot of amazing hiking and walking spots in the area. I am certified in CPR and also hav extensive experience in dog walking/ handling my own dog and others. I take time to listen, feel and observe the dog in my care. I make sure to meet their needs and also listen to owners needs.
“Larissa is wonderful and so caring for our pups. She paid special attention to our gentle old lady dog and seemed amused by our precocious younger one. Will happily hire her again.”
About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, and birds. While it has been quite a few years, I was a veterinary technician in high school and college. I love all animals and feel comfortable around dogs of all sizes. I am a second grade teacher looking to share my love of animals while earning extra income during the summer. I am a second-grade teacher with two high school children. I can be available most days during the summer due to my career. I am also available most afternoons/evenings during the school year. I will ensure any specific instructions are followed with care and accuracy and make your pet feel comfortable and loved. I can support the needs of both active and relaxed dogs, and love to provide a cozy lap and/or be a throwing companion for your furry family member.

About: My family has had multiple dogs as I was growing up and I have babysat and housesat at numerous houses with dogs and cats present. I am an animal lover who is very willing to learn your pet’s routine to meet their and your specific needs while you’re away! I am an elementary teacher who is looking to earn extra income in the summer before returning to school in the fall! Very willing to work through the school year with reduced availability.

I am also very open to any questions you may have for me before trusting me with your loved pet. I am very willing to send as many or as little updates as you prefer during my service as well.
About: I had a childhood cat named Sophie since I was born. We grew up together and she was definitely the reason I knew I wanted to work with animals because I enjoyed helping them so much. I have experience in an extremely busy environment both at an ER and at a dog daycare. I loved working at the Vet and can’t wait to get back to it! I’m on a break from school and want to keep working with animals but give myself a small break from schoolwork and animals are the best mental health tool. I can’t wait to get to know your baby and create a safe, fun and loving environment for them. I am currently on a break from college until I go do my practicum experience at Penn vet hospital is philly. I’m not working during the days right now, I spend them with my cat and would enjoy having a fun baby to take a walk with or just play with! I have a long haired tuxedo cat named juliet. When i’m home from school we have a lot of fun during the day since my family works. She’s so sweet and never fails to make me laugh or to catch random zoomies mid nap. I feed her in the mornings and clean her litter box during the day.
About: Hi paw friends 🐾 I am somewhat new to Rover but I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have always helped my family and friends care for their animals and I always enjoyed doing it. My husband and I got married four years ago and our little girl is three. It's amazing to see her interact with the dogs because she gets more comfortable and happier each time. We will eventually get a dog when the time is right, but I love Rover because it’s give me the opportunity to still bond with pups. I truly love being around animals. Our families sometimes come to stay with us with their dogs and I get a crazy burst of happiness every time. Life is just better with a dog around and I would love to care and help with your pups! :) I know it can be tough trusting your animals in others hands but rest assured that your pet will be in great hands with me & I will send plenty of updates and pictures 📸🐾 I currently work part time (every weekend). So I am free to take care of your pups during the week and still on weekends when I’m home. I still offer some services on the weekends. I will care for the pet how the owner(s) want me to care for them. They will always bed fed, hydrated, clean, warm, and the happiest they can be in my home. My home isn't that big so someone is always around. I am not an out-going person, I do have a good amount of friends but they all come to my house since I am the mama of the group :)

About: I am a former United States Marine, retired law enforcement officer, firefighter, and paramedic with decades of experience protecting and caring for others under pressure. Throughout my career, trust, reliability, situational awareness, and compassion were essential parts of the mission, and I carry those same values into pet care today. Whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, companionship while you’re away, medication support, or attentive overnight care, you can feel confident knowing they are in calm, capable hands. I understand how important it is to trust someone entering your home and caring for members of your family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, as well as cats and senior pets. My background has taught me patience, consistency, and how to stay calm in unexpected situations — useful skills whether handling an energetic shepherd, a stubborn bulldog, or a cat that operates like a tiny furry insurgent. I provide attention, cuddles and playtime for your fur babies- Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a retired Marine and first responder, I'm accustomed to maintaining a structured schedule and being dependable. I have the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. I enjoy staying active, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are doing well. If pets stay in my home, they will be treated like family in a safe, clean, and supervised environment. I'll follow their feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to ensure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for whether they're staying with me or I'm caring for them in their own home.
“This was the first time I booked Le'Andra to do daily check-ins on my cat Gabby while I was out of town. She was great! Le'Andra always stayed in communication with me by text. And she did her best to still take care of my cat while also dealing with the storm and very cold temperatures we recently had. Le'Andra is nice and very friendly. I would definitely request her again the next time I need a cat sitter, and would also recommend her to anyone considering booking her on Rover.”
Farmington dog parents share their Rover experiences
Last minute dog care and she was wonderful! She even helped pick up some items that fell outside the house due to a storm while we were away. Plus she communicated anything that she had concerns about our house we were out of town. Very detailed reports and cute pictures of our doggie :) 100% recommend and definitely use her again!

Drake came to meet our 2 yr old rambunctious 80 pound dog and they became fast friends. Drake is easy to communicate with and responds within a reasonable amount of time. Drake “knows” dogs. He knew our guy was still young and learning so his manners may need reinforcement…and did so patiently. I would DEFINITELY have Drake for our sitter without hesitation!

10/10!! Ally took the time to come meet my pup Jax prior to her first visit so we made sure he and she were comfortable! She takes him on adventures to different parks and bodies of water so he can let his energy out while his momma works! And she is always sure to send pictures, videos, and all updates! Happy pup, happy life!
