“Christelle was amazing with my cat! She was very communicative with me and shared a lot of photos 😊 she was a great pet sitter and I would definitely hire her again!”
About: I have owned dogs most my life and even owned a variety of other animals like fish, bunnies, and guinea pigs. I also currently have 2 dogs of my own and have also done dog training with dogs I've owned in the past. Im friendly with a great work ethic and even have some training and knowledge with a variety of household pets. I am able to care for others fur babies while my 3 children are in school from the hours of 8-2. I can also be pretty flexible. I have some dog training knowledge, as well as a decent amount of knowledge on a variety of animals, and im also bilingual speaking English and Spanish.
“Destony was wonderful . She sends pictures . She lets you know when she is coming. I would definatley rebook her for my cat again . I am super picky and was referred by my sister . Kudos to Destony !”
“I am so glad that I found Victoria to take care of my fur baby while I’m away on a work trip. She has been wonderful! Victoria is very responsive to messages, and has updated me on the visits in great detail with lots of photos included :) My cat can be very selective on who she chooses to enter her circle, but she took to Victoria very well with her great energy ! 10/10 recommend.”
About: I have been caring for pets of family and friends since childhood, and over time it naturally became a passion. I have experience with cats, large and small dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and currently I have a rabbit of my own. I am also an exotic pet lover. I have always researched and studied a lot about animal care and health, I like to go beyond the basics to make sure I can provide the best care for my pets. One of my biggest challenges (and achievements) was training my rabbit at home <3 I have always been very attentive with my pets’ health, I even had a personal veterinarian for all of them, including routine check-ups for my hamster haha. For me it is really easy to have a connection with animals and quickly build trust with them, which helps me understand their needs and behaviors. I truly hope to become a veterinarian in the future and continue dedicating my life to animal care. I believe that any living being that is dependent and innocent deserves the highest level of care, love, and protection possible. I currently work part-time, but due to the low season I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m able to adapt easily to each pet’s needs and provide consistent, loving care throughout the day. I live in a gated community, in a apartment with a lot of space. The condominium offers a dedicated dog park with a fenced area where dogs can safely run and play, as well as walking trails for daily exercise. If needed, I can also share photos of the environment so you can feel fully confident and comfortable about where your pet will be staying <3
“Emily is absolutely wonderful. Super caring and great with pets. She’s great at sending pictures of my pups when she does visits, and always picks up the phone. I wouldn’t want to have anyone else watching my pups!!”
“This is the 2nd time we’ve had Brooke take care of our babies and she does a wonderful job. She’s super communicative, thorough, and follows instructions to a tee!! We appreciate her so much!! Thank you!!”
About: Growing up, pets have always been considered family members in my household. I extend that same mindset to the pets of others', and believe that pet care should be held to the highest golden standard. I have experience taking care of animals including dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and small rodents. Regarding dogs and cats, I have learned how to handle very young, as well as senior pets. This includes knowing the importance of keeping pets on a very regular schedule, and making sure that every need they have is attended to with care. Nothing makes me happier than to see pets thriving, happy, and living their best lives. I am very good at managing my time, being punctual, respectful, and clean. I believe that it is very important to communicate well with pet owners to put their mind at ease that their babies are receiving the best care available.
“Timothy is the best! He communicated well, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and took excellent care of my dog. My dog is slow to warm up to new people, but Timothy was patient and they were fast friends. He followed all instructions and respected my home. Highly recommend!”
About: Everyone has relied on me to take care of their dogs. especially my mom, who works long hours every day. i enjoy coming to spend quality time with dogs. they make me happy and i love to play with them and make sure they’re well. i mostly work days at my job, so i can come take care of your pup when i am done, around 5 o’clock is when i get home. i am off two days as well, so those days will be fully open. i have a nice big townhome with fenced in backyard. and wherever i go, to go take care of the doggies, i will make sure they are safe with me and always on a leash if outside and always by my side while taking care of them.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience caring for multiple dogs at once. In 2021, I helped deliver and raise a litter of 4 puppies and kept one to continue caring for as she grows. I’ve managed a home with up to 7 dogs at the same time, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m experienced with puppies, feeding schedules, basic training reinforcement, and creating a calm, safe, loving environment for every dog I watch. I offer walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight boarding with a flexible schedule throughout the week. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. In my eyes, a pet’s needs and well-being always come first. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for during their stay. I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible. I provide a clean, safe, dog-friendly home with supervision throughout the day. Dogs get fresh water, walks, and consistent care. I follow the routines, feeding instructions, and safety precautions provided by each client to insure a safe environment.
About: I have been a dog lover and owner most of my life. I currently have a longhair dachshund named Ollie who does get along with other dogs. I’ve grown up around horses so I am comfortable with even the biggest of dogs. Im always up for an adventure through the woods or taking a walk along the water somewhere. Would love to meet and care for the four legged member of your family and provide the same love and attention to them as my own dog. I am available for: dog walking, dog sitting (your home or mine), dog visits and much more. I take great pride in how I interact with animals, I feel they listen better than most people I know haha. I do work full time during the weekdays but I am available in the evenings and on weekends. I also live with my boyfriend and he is home usually before me during the week. I treat all animals with love and patience. Every dog is different and I take my time getting to know their personality and quirks so they feel safe around me.
About: I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love caring for animals. I’ve cared for various dog breeds since I was 18 for neighbors, family friends, and home healthcare patients. My experience includes walking, feeding, playtime, companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine this summer because I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for a variety of walking and drop-in times throughout the day and enjoy staying active and spending time with your pup. I do my best to stick to the routines each pet is most comfortable with to help them feel safe and more relaxed for while their owner is away. I prioritize and creating a calm and positive environment to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both pets and owners
“Jules was wonderful with my dogs! She walked them, spent time playing with them, and made sure they were fed, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated the photo updates—it was so nice to see them happy and well cared for while I was away. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does and takes great care with the dogs. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
About: Throughout my high school and college experiences, I have fulfilled my volunteer hours working with local humane socialites! Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Having earned my bachelor’s in psychology, I was able to take a course about therapy using animals! Currently I am a fine dining server for a restaurant only open for dinner! So I am only ever unavailable for 4-5 hours most days, but can make stops before and after going to work!! My schedule has made me very flexible, and I would love to help those take care of their fur babies who may need an extra hand! I am currently employed at a fine dining seafood restaurant job that is open 4PM- 10PM everyday! I wake up early and have the whole day available until my nightly shift. And, I never would mind making a stop after I get off work! I just moved recently, so I am scouting 2 cats myself. With that, I recently moved out of my ex- lover’s house where he had a cat and 2 dogs. There was a completely fenced in backyard for the puppies to play, and plenty of space for the cat to roam! I’m my new house, we have an extra room that will be dedicated to the kitty’s and will be called the “cat room”, while we also have quite a large back patio where they can freely roam and get fresh air!!
“Kate-Lynn is responsive and responsible, Lala loved being with her. She was willing to meet with Lala and I before our booking to make sure we were both comfortable. Definitely hope to be able to book again. Thank you Kate-Lynn!”
“Amara is an amazing sitter. She gave our ferre, Weasley, lots of love and played endlessly with him to keep him entertained while we were away. She handles him with love and care. We’ve used her before andhighly recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter.”
“Tia was excellent. I received pictures and updates while I was away and knew my pet was in good hands. I didn’t have to worry at all. Would recommend if anyone is looking for help.”
“Linda takes excellent care of our cat, Daisy. She is always on time, dependable and always does everything we ask. We never had any issue. We will use her again and again!”

Marisa did amazing with my 10 week old puppy! She came with prior experience and was very knowledgeable about working with high energy puppies. She practiced training commands with him and went above and beyond just playing and letting him out. She was patient and caring. She sent updates while she was there along with pictures and videos to show me how it was going (which I loved because I was nervous as I'm a first time dog owner). I'm so happy I booked with her. I definitely recommend.
Melissa is an Absolute Gem! Communicated on each visit with photos and kept us up to date on their playtime activities and even followed their feeding schedule perfectly. We will absolutely be recommending and having Melissa take care of our dogs again in the future.
Gaby was wonderful! She is so kind and amazing with dogs. This was my first time using Rover or any pet sitting services for my 4 month puppy and she did so great, my puppy loves her. She saved me when I didn’t have any support at the time. I made a mistake with scheduling and she was also very understanding! 10/10 will continue to book her in the future :)
Destony, did an excellent job spending time with the dog, walking and feeding along with communicating. The dog was staying at an assisted living facility, while the owner was away. She kept me informed of other people taking care of the dog. Very helpful to know the dog was so loved.
We were in a bind. Ran off to vacation and forgot to feed our poor boy Armin. I reached out and Isabella responded quickly. She couldn’t get there when we requested but we worked it out. She arrived earlier than expected and did everything quickly and professionally. She communicated and made sure to send pics. She’s very nice and I definitely will use her again.
