“I'm so grateful to find Anna on Rover! She is very sweet and communicates really well which is very important to me when someone is with my babies! I highly recommend Anna if you need a pet sitter. She will really take the time to understand your pets needs.”
“Grace was so wonderful about booking way ahead and professionally checking in as we got closer to the date. She also was awesome about handling an unusual booking where we were in and out of the house the whole time. She played and rested with Makkachin, who was happy and calm when she left.”
“Mercedes was awesome with our dogs Koda and Parker. They loved going on walks with her and just hanging out. She kept us up to date on how things were going and was able to extend her stay when our plans changed. She even washed the sheets and tidied up the house so when we got home we could get right in bed! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I took two years of a veterinary medicine class in high school where my main duties included taking care of class pets such as dogs, snakes, tortoises, rats, and leopard geckos. I worked at a local zoo for six months focusing on the housing of animals including chickens, goats, and tortoises. I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends since I was 12. I volunteer to walk dogs at a local shelter during my free time and I currently own a bearded dragon and a leopard gecko! I’m currently a third year college student, but I still make time to take care of pups! I’m free all day Wednesdays and weekends, other days I’m only available after 5pm! I treat every pet as if they were my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how important routines are so I stick to them while still giving lots of attention and playtime, and keeping their environment clean and calm.
“Alainna was very friendly, enthusiastic, communicative and thorough as she prepared to meet Makkachin for the first time. She sent me photos and updates throughout the day. She was friendly to Makka and such a dog person, and offered play and walks, though Makka was more interested in a chill, sleepy day as she often is during first meetings. Alainna respected that too. Would definitely use her again!”
“Ainsley was amazing! She took great care of our cat while we were out of town, sent us pictures, and even washed our sheets and vacuumed before we returned. It is so great not having to worry about Ollie while we are out of town. Would definitely recommend Ainsley for any pet sitting you need, she is great!”

I really like that Celeste is familiar with the temperament of Yorkies.Sadie was well taken care of and enjoyed her play time and snuggling up with Celeste.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. There was always a pet at home. My best friend in elementary school was my cat, but we had wonderful dogs as well - I grew up with greyhounds. I’ve had a Great Dane, and cared for a Malamute, so size is no issue. If your baby has fur, I already love it. (And if your baby is hairless for whatever reason, I still love it!) At this point in my life, my schedule is entirely my own to command, so I’m able to open it up. My routines are flexible and I can do what’s needed. I’m happy to maintain whatever routine your pet is used to. Walking, crating, however you and your pets live life, I can support and continue.
About: I grew up with a German Shepherd and regularly walked and cared for a variety of dogs and cats in my neighborhood. I also volunteered as a dog walker at the Humane Society, so I have hands-on experience specifically with walking dogs of all types. I am a college student at liberty university, and have classes in the mornings. In the afternoons and evenings I am mostly free, and also on the weekends as well. Whenever you have need, I will do my best to be available and take care of your pet! I will always make sure your dog is safe and happy on our walks. If I am house-sitting or doing drop-in visits, I am very communicative and will follow your directions with detail. Happy to send pictures and updates too!

No need to worry about long stretches without your loved one being checked on! Multiple walks are given each day (depending on their needs), with the option to run with them if they are high-energy dogs. All for the cuddles and playing inside for those that need either or both instead!

Katya P.
“I have two of the cutest dogs ever, and Katya always takes care of them so well. They love going on walks, and Katya, with pleasure, is able to walk them around the whole neighborhood and give them rest time. One of my dogs tends to be a little too hyper and pushy at times during his walks, but Katya always manages to keep him under control. She has also been very kind in gifting them adorable outfits and some toys. I would highly recommend Katya as a pet caregiver, and I know she’ll be excited to hang out with any pet.”

Izza Sofia H.Star Sitter
“Izza was my caretaker for my dog, BonBon. She has the kind of love and attention you’d hope for in a pet sitter. BonBon can be anxious around new people, but he instantly felt at ease with Izza. She sent me updates, took him on walks, and gives the kind of presence dogs truly respond to. I’d never let anyone pet-sit BonBon, but if I were to allow someone to pet-sit him, it would be Izza in a heartbeat!”
Aramis R.
“So much to say about this young man. My Jessi adored him and he treated her like a princess. I didn't even have to text for updates since he was sending them constantly. 1000% perfect recommend. The whole family does dog sitting and it's great to know my jessi is in good hands when she's with Aramis.”
