“Julianna was wonderful! She was communicative, quick to respond, and right on time for Georgia’s drop-in visits. She took great care of our pup and sent us the sweetest pictures and updates while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing Georgia was in good hands and can’t wait to book with her again!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and still love to have them in my life. I am experienced with all sizes of dogs and comfortable with cats of all ages. I have experience in raising neonatal kittens through medication administration to older pets. I am active and enjoy walking and would love to have your furry friend be my companion. I'm also happy to sit with a friendly cat for some pets and snuggles. My pets are my furry children and are spoiled and I would love to be able to help spoil yours when you aren't around. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to come early in the morning to later at night to help make sure your pet is happy. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me the freedom to be available to help provide care for pets and reassure owners. I love spending time with pets, getting to know their personalities, interact with their owners, and provide reassurance that your pet is in good hands. I have fostered cats from a few days old through older cats with medical needs. I grew up with dogs and am comfortable with all sizes. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes, providing medication including injections, and handling animals that may be wary of strangers.
About: What sets me apart is my calm and gentle demeanor, especially beneficial for anxious or shy pets. I create a peaceful and reassuring environment, helping them feel safe and comfortable. I'm skilled at reading their body language and adapting my approach to their individual needs. I'm also very patient and understanding, giving them the time they need to adjust. I'm experienced in creating a safe and comfortable space, and I am very good at slow introductions. Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I believe in providing consistent care, so I establish regular feeding and walk schedules. I'm also flexible and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Throughout the day, I monitor their behavior and ensure they have fresh water and playtime. I genuinely love spending time with animals and providing them with the best possible care. My approach to pet care is built on providing a safe, happy, and healthy environment for every animal. Here's what that looks like: * Routine and Consistency: I understand the importance of routine, so I strictly follow feeding schedules and exercise plans provided by owners. * Personalized Attention: Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their individual needs. Some dogs love fetch, while others prefer gentle cuddles. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and preferences. For example, with shy cats, I use slow, gentle movements and let them approach me on their own terms.
About: With over 8 years of experience in animal rescue/shelter work, and veterinary services, I bring a deep understanding of your pet’s unique needs. Whether your dog thrives on calm, confidence building strolls or craves a high energy adventure, I tailor each walk to suit their personality. I have extensive experience working with behaviorally and medically challenged animals and am confident handling pets with medical conditions or mobility issues. Every dog I walk is treated like my own, with patience, love, and plenty of praise. You can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, supported, and cared for with compassion. Their well being is always my top priority, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and respectful of every dog’s comfort zone. I currently have open availability and am happy to accommodate your schedule; whether you need early morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening strolls. I’m flexible, reliable, and committed to making sure your dog gets the care and exercise they need when they need it most! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. With years of experience working with dogs of all temperaments, you can trust that your pet is in capable, compassionate hands. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I’m respectful of your space, reliable, and always communicative. I treat every animal like family, using patience, positive reinforcement, and lots of love. You can count on me to provide a safe, structured, and comforting environment for your pet, every time.

“Tamikia did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. She came at the scheduled time and did all that was asked of her and more. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. We enjoyed receiving the daily updates and photos while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”

“Amy was dependable and knowledgeable about animals. She made sure our pet had every she needed. Amy made our pet feel comfortable and communicated with us each time she came to visit. Amy was also very thorough with communicating with us. I would definitely recommend Amy and use her again!”

About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.
“We are so very grateful for Olivia’s care of our senior dog. She came to meet him and we had a good feeling about her right away. She has been punctual with her visits, quick to respond to any communication from us, and thorough with her reports of her time with our boy. We look forward to continued visits from Olivia, and our pup does too.”

About: I have been fostering puppies for over a year. I have walked, bathed, fed, and made sure that all my dogs have the TLC they need to to feel loved. I am currently full time but I am available in the morning time to drop in to let you pup out or feed your cat. I work right in the ridley area. At my house, both dogs are crated when we are not home and we have a fenced in yard for them to go out to use the bathroom. In clients homes, I am happy to let your pup out of their crates and give them what they need such as a walk, playtime in a fenced in yard, feed and if needed bathe and nail trim. I have my own nail trimmers if clients prefer me to use my own.

About: My first memory was reaching out to pet the family dog and by the age of 8 I was the main care taker and trainer of our family pets (Sheltie, Poodle, Akita, Bearded Dragon). By 14 began pet sitting ranging from puppies at 8 months to senior dogs at 17 years old. I have cared for many of my neighbors pets that includes cats, hedgehogs, and hamsters. As I got older, I became braver and currently have two snakes. I am home full time and typically start my day with a morning walk which is always more appreciated with a four legged friend or two. In my care I offer daily updates and photos. For check-ins I typically stay for an hour to ensure the pets are well taken care of as well as provide extra walks or play time for the more energetic.

“Linda is simply the best! After trying with several cat sitters (who just weren’t right for one reason or another) I am so glad to have found Linda. She is caring, communicative, and took excellent care of my cranky cat. She went the extra mile in cleanup & left me a lock box to store keys. I wouldn’t dream of hiring anyone else. She makes me want to travel more often! Thank you Linda we hope to see you soon!”
“Alexis did drop in visits for my cat Seshu over two weeks. She communicated consistently and clearly took excellent care of him. He was at ease when I returned. Would definitely repeat.”

“My family has used Chealsea multiple times now. She’s super communicative and sends photos during her visit. Always makes us feel like our best little guy is happy and taken care of.”

“This was our first time working with Raquel, and it went very well. She stopped by to spend an hour with our two dogs, Tate and Penny, well also feeding them and giving them lots of love. Raquel was very good communicator, was on time, and provided photographs of her time with our dogs. We are really excited that we found Raquel and look forward to having her spend more time with our dogs, Tate and Penny in the future. If anyone’s looking for a five star Pet Sitter on Rover Raquel‘s your gal!”

Jacqueline 🐕🦺🐾 was great. While I was away, she took time out of her schedule to check on both my cat and dog. They both enjoyed our company very much. She was kind, timely, and responsive to all of my messages. I look forward to working with her again in the near future.

We absolutely love working with Rachel! She always provides detailed updates and great photos, which give us so much peace of mind while we’re away. We’ve used her multiple times now, and we trust her completely with our fur baby. It’s clear how much she cares, and we truly appreciate her reliability, kindness, and the wonderful care she gives. Highly recommend Rachel!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
