“Thank you for taking care of my girls! Great work”


About: I've cared for our family dog as a teenager. As an adult, I've had my own dog, who I adopted from a local shelter. She was an adult stray who stole my heart. I prioritized her every need. I've also cared for pets belonging to family members and my neighbors. My experience is with young to adult dogs and cats ranging from kittens to seniors. Additionally, I volunteered at a local pet shelter for three and half years, providing care to dogs of all ages. I'm reliable, honest, punctual, and follow instructions quite well. I work full-time, but am available to check-in on your pet in the mornings and late afternoons on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and weekends. I work remotely on some days, which gives me more flexibility. I can travel to your home at your preferred time. I'm happy to accommodate your preference for entering your home and securely locking up after I leave. I can meet you in advance to ensure I have all of your instructions on how you want me to care for your pet.

“Wonderful sitter! Went above and beyond, offering a virtual meeting prior for an introduction and gave thorough and in depth updates. Love the amount of photos she took. Absolutely would recommend 10/10, will book again!”


“Bo took the absolute best care of my cat Morty! It's uncommon that he will warm up to people so quickly, so I knew it was a great sign when he came out of his shell after the first day. Bo was extremely attentive and communicative about her visits with Morty. I also really appreciated the updates and photos she sent!”


About: I care for every pet like family, making sure they feel safe and loved - especially when their humans/ best friends are away. I have experience with animals of all ages and sizes, including senior pets who might need extra patience, mobility support, or medicine. Whether it’s a long walk, a cozy overnight stay, or drop-in, I adapt to each pet’s routine and personality to make their time with me feel as comfortable as possible! I work remotely throughout the week and have a flexible schedule. I enjoy building pet care into my routine and making sure each pet gets attention and affection. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and make time for. In my home, pets have a safe, cozy space where they’ll have plenty attention and playtime. I live by parks and have a lot of space for walks! I also make sure to follow usual routines as closely as possible, including, walks, and bedtime routines (to help them feel at ease). In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure to get aligned to their expectations and routines. I make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for!

About: I’ve cared for pets for over 10 years, including my own dog Wukong, who’s currently undergoing medical treatment. I’m experienced with administering medication, handling vet visits, and giving extra attention to pets with special needs. I treat every animal with the same patience and care I give to Wukong—like family I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule, so it’s easy for me to make time for walks, drop-ins, or whatever a pet needs during the day For dogs, I take them out for a walk and make sure they settle back in. For cats, I handle feeding, litter, and anything else they need. I try to keep things calm and familiar for them while you’re away

About: Hello, I am Linda! I'm new to Rover but not new to pet care. My family has had a lovely poodle named Yuan-yuan. He is a cute, active, but friendly dog, and I've always taken care of him whenever I had the chance. For some reason, Yuan-yuan lives in my home country with my parents now. My son and I missed him so much, and that's why I decided to join Rover to take care of other pets like Yuan-yuan. I will treat your pets as I did for Yuan-yuan—I am happy to spend time with pets and will make sure they have the right food, enough exercise, happy playtime, and other activities that are good for their well-being. I’ve also helped my friends taking care her two dogs and two cats many times when she was in vocations. As an empty-nest mom working from home, I’m flexible and have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available almost daily from 10 AM to 7 PM. At the beginning, I prefer caring for your pets in your home to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. In the future, I may also offer pet care at my house, which has a big backyard that provide more space for your pets to play and relax I will closely follow your instructions to maintain your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and playtime. I’ll also ensure that your home remains secure and tidy while keeping a eye on your pet’s well-being. Also I’ll provide timely updates and photos to keep you informed, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands. To provide the best possible care, I’d love to know about your pet’s daily routine, temperament, energy level, allergy restrictions, and any other special care instructions. This helps me ensure their comfort and happiness while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a cozy cuddle, an energetic walk, or simply a companion while you're away, I am here to provide care and attention just like I did for my own furry family member. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet!

About: I care for yours as if they are my own. I just lost my 16 year old and miss her immensely. You won’t have to worry when they’re with me. I’ll send pictures, videos and make sure they are comfy and happy. I’m familiar with allergies, medicine schedules and application. I am attentive and make sure my furbabies are safe. Right now I’m off for the summer and have a lot of time. During the school year, I work from 8am-3pm and come home for lunch. My home is a dog home, meaning, dogs are family to me and can be on the furniture. I am fragrance free so I ask your dog not have sprays or essential oils. If I am to house sit, it would have to be fragrance free. Your animals will also have to have flea and tick protection. I am good at keeping to a schedule and I have trained all my dogs. Cooked for all of them too. Please feel free to ask me anything

“Mengyue has done a great job in taking care of our rabbits for three weeks. Thank you a lot!”

“I am so glad to have found Angela to care for my fur baby! She is very responsive, communicative, and flexible which helps to put my mind at ease. I know my dog is in good hands, it is very apparent that Angela is a dog person when I witnessed her first interaction with my Lyla, they immediately hit it off with lots of scritches, play time, and belly rubs. Thank you Angela!”

“This was my first time booking with Natalie and she was a pleasure to work with! She followed our care instructions thoroughly. She was made aware of our cats different eating habits and Natalie was persistent in making sure that their individual needs were taken care of. She went beyond to tidy our cats play area and left the place in a better condition than when she first arrived. Our cats felt comfortable around her and she was able to provide a lot of play time for our cats and even stayed longer than she needed to because she enjoyed playing with the cats so much. Natalie truly loves cats and was very caring towards them while we were away. We look forward to having her as our pet sitter in the future!”


About: As the proud mom of a working dog, something that sets me apart is my creativity to make up fun games that reinforce training and good manners. Before adopting our dog, I fostered 2 dogs and we used to dog sit frequently for our friends who have a Bernedoodle. I am currently looking for work and focusing on my food photography from home, so I have ample time for anyone that requires daily walks, playtime or puppy training. I am a gentle and nurturing caretaker, as someone who has a dog that is often misunderstood I have developed many tools to handle high energy dogs and an abundance of patience. I have understood first-hand that dogs deserve our calm energy to thrive and learn.

“Yiqing was great to work with. She came over ahead of time to get oriented with my place. She was very responsive,a proactive communication, and did a great job taking care of my cats. She played with them every day and kept my place quite clean. Will definitely be using her again!”


“Gabriela was amazing with our cat, Ellie. It was our first time away for a long trip, so we were a little anxious about the person checking in on Ellie--but Gabriela far exceeded our expectations. She played with Ellie every day, sent us multiple pictures, and gave a thorough report at every check in. 10/10 would definitely hire Gabriela again.”
