About: I've taken care of fur babies since I can remember! We've always had pets in the home and I've cared for them from the time they were born until they pass on a seniors. As an adult I have my own dog Lucky who has special needs that I care for everyday! I also have experience boarding pets from puppies to seniors including those with special needs and dietary restrictions. My dog loves other dogs as much as I do. I am excited to help and take care of your fur babies in the way they deserve! I'm currently not working so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! They will get the care they needs while I am responsible for them! I have a decent sized fenced in yard and a sweet pomeranian who is super friendly with other dogs! We would love to open our home to keep your pets feeling loved and safe while you are away!

I may adjust my rates in the future, but I’m just happy to help and spend time with your pet 🐶💕 I've loved dogs since I was little and have cared for pups of all sizes—from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’ve helped neighbors, host families, and now I’m raising my own Shiba Inu 🐶 I’m new to this app, but I have real-life experience with dogs. I’m calm, careful, and love spending time with animals. I really want to do a great job and make sure you feel safe choosing me 🐾💛 I’m a stay-at-home wife with a flexible schedule, so I’m usually available Monday through Friday.

“Sarah was on top of taking care of our cats, including bringing in mail and packages, cleaning up some cat puke, finding our kitty that needed pills twice a day, and cleaning the litter boxes. She communicated well throughout the visits. Hopefully we can book her again!”


“This was our first time using Rover, and we are so thankful that we found Chris to care for our cats while we were away. Our family really appreciated how well he took the time to play with and cuddle our cats while he was there caring for their other needs. Thank you!”


About: My family and I have fostered cats and dogs and provided hospice care for a dog with cancer (1 year) until she passed. I understand all breeds and their unique energy needs and activity levels. Medical care and aging limitations would be understood and can be tended to with your pet care needs. I work full time M, T, Th, F, Sa 8am until the deliveries are complete (can range from 2pm to 6pm). When I am not home, there are other family members present (spouse works, dad is retired). In the afternoon and evenings, my children will be attentive to any animals kept at my home. I enjoy connecting with all animals. We have a small fenced in yard with the ability to take your pet out for long, short, or frequent walks. My kids would provide any extra loving and attention while your pet is in my care. I kept a friend's cat for a week. When that week was up, her cat didn't want to leave. Whenever I visit them, the cat finds me to snuggle while I am around. Animals can sense the love and kindness within myself & my family.

“Marissa came in and immediately treated our dogs as if they were her own. Taking the time for belly rubs and sitting out in the sun. She was absolutely amazing and saved the day with a last minute booking. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur babies while we were away!”


“I would use Shannon again! She follows directions & even though it was a stressful night (fireworks) our dog was stress free.”


About: Although sitters on Rover have great experience and amazing skills I believe what sets me apart is my attention to detail! I have cared for all different types of dogs within this past decade, From pups, to teen doggos to seniors. Dogs with big personalities and very shy ones too! It’s important to understand the dog you’re working with not only for their long term benefit but even helping them thrive in every day short term tasks I work from home most days and am able to flex so I can fit a walk in pretty much anywhere given the week, just ask! I start by asking pet parents about any routines and discomforts the doggo might have then adjust my care according to those needs! All dogs are different care is not one size fix all.

“Our go-to cat sitter. Nicole accommodates are special needs cat who sometimes has accidents outside the litter box and has special dietary needs. She also ensures both our litter boxes are cleaned and vacuumed daily. We always appreciate the pictures and notes she provides, and any extra steps to ensure our home is clean and secure.”


About: I have over 15 years of pet care experience, including caring for my own pets and petsitting for friends and family. I’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, and I truly love spending time with animals. I have three cats of my own and have experience administering various types of medication, including oral meds and topical treatments. I also regularly care for several community cats, so I’m comfortable working with shy, independent, and less social animals. Whether your pet is playful, anxious, energetic, or aloof, I’ll provide thoughtful, loving care that meets their unique needs. I primarily work from home over the summer so I have extremely flexible hours in June, most of July, and part of August and can provide care any day of the week. Available in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I am fully an animal person, not a dog or cat person. I own three cats and grew up with dogs, and I love them all. Am willing to play, give scritches, or be ignored, all for the love of pets.

“PEIGE WENT BEYOND FOR ME . I WAS NOT DOING SO WELL . SHE CAME WHILE I WAS IN THE EMERGENCY HOSPITAL. ONLY very Shortest time line . I have 2 dogs ,1 cat and three parrots. Am very happy and my pets was too. She follow my instructions and my very Concerns by leaving them again . She will be pick again .”

My love and care for animals go beyond just looking after them—I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering them the attention, comfort, and affection they deserve. Whether it's caring for a playful puppy, providing extra care for a dog with special needs, or offering compassionate end-of-life care for older pups, I genuinely care for their well-being and happiness and will go above and beyond to make sure they feel loved.

I make it a point to establish a trusting relationship with both the pets and owners, keeping communication open to address any concerns.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Always playing/taking on walks, feeding them, and giving cuddles.

I do like getting my own pup at least an hour of play before leaving but that will be no issue I make sure I play with the pups very frequently, especially when I first get there and before I leave. I make sure to take them on 1-2 40 minute walks depending on how long i’m watching them for. One walk after they eat and one walk later on. I can brush them, feed them, play in the yard with them, etc.

“Kendall is an absolutely phenomenal pet companion! Her attention to detail is truly out of this world. She went above and beyond just feeding our pets and letting them out; she even cleaned their bowls spotless. You can genuinely tell she's an animal lover by the care she gives. Her detailed texts, complete with pictures and videos of our pets, and her precise adherence to our instructions, were all phenomenal. We would highly recommend her to any home!”
