“I booked Christin last minute before leaving for a long trip and I couldn’t have had a better sitter! She was so prompt about answering questions, provided detailed updates every day she visited, and even brought in packages that got delivered to my home! She was also incredibly flexible when I had to extend my travel by another week. My two cats were definitely in good hands while I was gone and having Christin looking after them made me feel better about being away for so long! I cannot recommend her enough for any and all pet sitting needs!”
“You are the most AMAZING sitter we’ve encountered on here. The pictures and the time you spent with our babies on our first long trip away. Cannot thank you enough for the tortoise and the doggie!!”
“Sophia is EXCELLENT in all respects. She is very conscientious and amazing with dogs. She went above and beyond for us, addressing challenging issues in real time and responding flexibly when situations and needs changed. We are so grateful to have her caring for our dog!”
About: Hey there – my name is Angie, and I’ve taken care of dogs 🐶most of my life. I am an experienced dog/cat owner who you can trust to take amazing care of your pet.❤️ I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with your pet. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I have a YorkiePoo of my own and would love to have more dogs but due to frequent traveling, it’s sadly not the right time for me. I love having the opportunity through Rover to love on other pets. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! My 13 year old son also helps me out on occasion because he wanted a way to earn some extra money 😊 I have a very flexible job so I am able to spend as much time with your pet as you'd like me to. I am also able to visit several times throughout the day if the need is there. My job allows me to work from anywhere so if a longer visit for companionship is needed I am happy to do that. I am happy to take your pet for a walk if that's what they are used to or spend some time with them letting them run around your yard. If they just need some company and some love for a bit then I am happy to just sit with them for a while and remind them that they are loved.
“Barbora was amazing!!! Very caring and attentive! My Chuck is still getting use to his surroundings and she was just so gentle with him. I greatly appreciate her! 🐾”
“Madelyn was professional and communicative, and were sure she got along great with our kitty! She also went out of her way to retrieve an important package that was delivered while we were away.”
About: My family has had dogs and cats all of my childhood and friends pets in recent years. I have learned about all sorts of animal needs in the process. I have been relied on to watch older dogs, younger cats, anxious shelter dogs and pets on medication. I work 2 jobs that keep me busy for half of a day. I tend to be a somewhat early riser but I'm able to stay up later if necessary for your pet's needs. I am able to sit with pets in the morning and overnight. Due to work I’m able to sit in the evenings on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. When watching pets in other people's homes, I try to disrupt the pet's routines and living space as little as possible. Depending on how involving your pet might be, I am able to step in and make sure your pet is comfortable while maintaining your boundaries within your home. I want to ensure your pet is comfortable around me.
“Thank you to Lauren for the drop-in on my 3 pups. She had to contend with a rainy day in which 2 of my 3 have to be coaxed outside in the rain! Appreciate her patience and would recommend her to others.”
About: My love for animals all started when I was eight and took care of a family friend's cats. Since then, I have gained experience with animals of all types and sizes. In addition to our family dog, I adopted a rabbit of my own who was my pride and joy for six years before succumbing to a hereditary health issue. I also have taken horse lessons, and I currently volunteer with a nearby animal shelter as a dog walker and socializer. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes and breeds, and I look forward to offering your pet the best care it can get. I am currently working remotely, so pet care will be sprinkled throughout my daily routine. Because my schedule is spaced out and very flexible, I will be able to visit your pet as many times as needed throughout the day (or even stay at the house while working if asked) to ensure that they are getting the quality care and attention they need. I work with my clients to give both them and their pets the best possible experience. Prior to hire, I am happy (and in fact, prefer) to have a free 15-30 minute consultation to familiarize myself to the pet and discuss any care specifics that the client may have. Because my care is individualized and will conform to the owner's wishes, I love to send pictures and videos throughout the day of the pet's activities and any extra-cute moments. I make it a habit to send short write-ups of the day and the pet's activities that day so that my clients feel as connected as possible to their pets.
“Mary-Ashlynne was wonderful! She consistently gave us updates with photos with each visit, which gave me a peace of mind in leaving our little guy behind! I’d highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”
About: I’ve had dogs from childhood up to now as a college student. I had experience taking care of my second dog once he was a senior and needed extra care. And additional experience working with two vet clinics. Currently working on and off until June 22, when I will move to a full time job. Mostly free every day up until early evening until that date I can easily walk your dog anywhere you’d like me to for as short or long as needed. I’m always aware of surroundings and will always ensure safety of your dog. I will make sure to keep the dog entertained and safe if you’re looking for someone to look in on them. And if desired, will keep contact with you with updates. I am more than happy to look after your doggo!
About: I’ve taken care of a couple of dogs in this area while people are on holiday leave or vacations. I enjoy dogs so much! I always had dogs growing up around the house and they are truly a man’s best friend! I currently work full-time during the day with a hybrid type work schedule that allows me to work from home part of the time. I have availability in the evenings and mostly weekends to be able to pet sit! The precaution of using a leash and making sure I am aware of using that for every single walk is crucial for safety on walks. I want to be able to care for your home well and lock up every time I come and go. I would most definitely ask for specific requests for your animals such as feeding time, when they need to go out, how often for walks to your specific liking.
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.
“Allison did an amazing job taking care of our cat!! She sent great pictures and made sure he had everything he needed! She communicates well and quickly!! Absolutely no complaints - will use her again!!”
“Maggie was wonderful with our little guy. From her reports I could tell she took the time to get to know him and was very communicative. And was available on short notice! Will definitely use Maggie again.”
About: I don’t just care for your pets, I strive to make them see me as part of the family! Also love to clean, so you know you will return to your house with it being just as clean as you left it. Ample training with young pups as well as caring for older animals. I work a job where I make my own hours, so I can fit whatever requirements into my schedule. 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!
“Emily was absolutely amazing and she took excellent care of our doggies 👌 she managed all the medications my senior dog needed and I did not have to stress if he is OK, because I knew he was in a good hands ☺️ will def use Emily as a sitter for our future trips ☺️ thank you! 🫶”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, I have a cat currently and family members have always had dogs and cats. I volunteered at the Humane Society throughout high school and have lots of experience pet sitting! 😻 I also used to foster kittens which I loved doing. I love being around animals and caring for them. I am a student working part time, so that gives me plenty of free time to check in on your furry friends throughout the day, take them on walks, and spend the night with them! I am a trustworthy person who will respect your space as I would my own and leave it better than I found it. I have my EMT-b certification and am working currently as an RBT, so I have been through several background checks and first aid trainings. Safety and trust are very important to me and if desired I can frequently send you pictures/videos of your pets throughout the day! 🫶

“Angela and Gabe have watched my two cats for me several times. They are both very responsible, they show up to feed the cats when schedules and they are very interactive with the cats.

Mercedes S.
“Mercedes watched my dog Beans on multiple occasions and was super accommodating with her training and schedule needs. Because she has a remote job, she was able to spend more time focusing on Beans and not leaving her alone to run around. Beanie has had several behavioral issues with digging through trash, chewing clothes/blankets, and peeing on the floor out of anxiety. Mercedes handled all of them with patience, diligence, and a smile.”

Sophia M.
“As Sophia’s mother, I’ve seen firsthand just how devoted and caring she is when it comes to animals. Over the years, she’s brought home kittens to foster on more than one occasion—each time committing herself fully to their care for several months. She is very responsible and it’s clear that she truly enjoys spending time with them and making sure they feel safe and cared for. She’s patient, attentive, and truly loves every animal she meets. I can say with complete confidence that any pet in Sophia’s care will be safe, loved, and well looked after. I would trust her with any pet, and I know she’ll bring that same warmth and dedication to anyone who chooses her as a caregiver on Rover.”
