“Caroline watched Indy over the Thanksgiving holiday and we could not be happier with how well she treated our pup and our home. She was super responsive, sent photos and updates every day, and we will absolutely book her again in the future. Thanks Caroline!”
“Alison did great with our dog Lola! She took her on long walks, sent us pictures throughout the day, and we even came home to a clean house, which was much appreciated! Would definitely recommend Alison to watch over your pets”

“We completely trust Kaitlyn to care for our special-needs Ragdoll. She is consistent and detailed about giving our cat his medications, and she gives him extra attention and love, which gives us peace of mind whenever we’re out of town. When we return home, it’s clear that both our cat and our home have been well cared for.”
“John was great! We booked last minute. I went with him based on his reviews, and they’re all accurate. He was prompt and our dog took to him immediately. We got photos while we were out and Faust was so relaxed when we got back. We will definitely book with him again in the future. Honestly, 10 out of 10.”
About: I’m an animal lover with years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to calm senior companions. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, litter box and potty breaks, and giving medication when needed. I always take time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether they’re shy, social, or somewhere in between. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every animal like they’re my own — with patience, affection, and lots of attention to detail. I’m also happy to provide photo updates and follow your pet’s daily routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free Pet care is my full time job. Animals have always been part of my life, so pet care isn’t just something I do, it’s part of who I am. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply spending quality time with pets, I naturally build it into my day. Caring for animals brings me joy and balance. I am very reliable and trustworthy and want the best for your pet. I will do whatever is instructed and stick to a feeding and walking schedule when recommended.
“Viktoriia is so lovely and took wonderful care of my very energetic husky girl. I came home to a happy pup, and she didn't want Viktoriia to leave! Highly recommend her, she will make sure your baby has everything they need and is well fulfilled with exercise & love. We look forward to having her back soon!”
“Janet was great with our pup! She is professional, communicative, and kind. We feel very comfortable leaving our pup and home under her care. We are looking forward to working with Janet again!”

About: Hi! I'm Faith, and I offer loving, dependable pet sitting for dogs and other pets. With 10 years of experience caring for and walking animals, I focus on comfort, safety, and keeping routines consistent—so your pet feels calm, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm attentive, responsible, and always make sure you're kept updated during each visit. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I am not currently working and have a flexible schedule. My plan is to start veterinary assistant program which allows me to continue learning about animal health and care while remaining available for pet sitting. I have a secured fenced yard and care for my senior cat, who requires specialized food and subcutaneous fluids twice weekly. Managing his medical needs has given me valuable experience with attentive, consistent care and reinforced the importance of patience, observation, and following detailed instructions. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is for owners to feel confident their pets are in capable hands.
“Austin was amazing. He stayed with the dogs over the weekend. He sent pics and text periodically. He maintained their routine with walks and lots of running time. I can't tell you how reassured we were having him there. When we got home you would not have even known he was there. Everything was exactly the way we left it. We can't thank him enough. He will definitely be our go to for sure. He has made furever friends with our girls.”
About: I have raised my dog from 2 months to 4 years. i take him on long walks and absolutely spoil him. i love animals and i cant wait to meet you’re furry friends ! I also trained my puppy from two months to 1 year and a half. I will have unlimited time to care and play with pets as my freetime is dedicated to my pets and my son. I love meeting new animals so I I like to confirm many requests I get. I will keep a very close eye on you’re furry friend and make sure to make your dog as comfortable in stressful situations that may occur.
“Great experience with Laura as always. She was very patient with me booking last minute and also making a last-minute change on the final day. Two cats with complex feeding requirements and meds. Thank you, Laura!”
About: I have more than 30 years of experience. I started dog-sitting for friends and family and through private referrals. I have cared for dogs of all ages. I will keep you updated with photos and messages. And for additional peace of mind, I have pet-sitter insurance (certificate available upon request). Doggy socializing (the dog park, Starbucks, restaurant patios, doggy play dates with their friends or your fur baby's other favorite hangout spot) are included during overnight stays with dog parents' permission of course. I work from home which allows me to give your fur babies the love and attention that you would want for them and that they deserve. My aim is to provide next level service and to help lessen the stress of being away from your fur baby. All I need is a place to crash (I don't mind sharing the bed with your dogs), the Wi-Fi password, and your doggos to hang out with. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, relaxed, doted on and well looked after while you’re away. Rest assured, during overnight bookings, your pets will be the only ones that I take care of. Meaning, I won't book any drop-ins or walks with other clients.
“Hoai is very thorough and takes the time to get to know your pets and their routine. She takes copious notes and sends many follow-up messages and photos. She has a deep love for animals and treats them as if they are her own. Thanks for taking care of our fur babies!!”
About: I study Environmental Studies with an emphasis in Animal Behavior and Psychology! Because of this, I feel as though I am a great fit for understanding animals and their needs and being able to handle their needs with care. I myself have a disabled dog, so I am very capable of empathizing with an animal and want to provide your pet with the best quality of care possible! I have a very sociable personality and I would love to play with your pet, take it on walks and outside, or even just have a chill day at home with the animal! I am available to work regularly and as needed, as I have a more flexible schedule. I love to be outside and go on walks, as well as chilling at home so I am very capable of handling various personalities, needs, and ages. I have an enclosed and gated house and a backyard with a pool, and decent space in the interior, and I am willing to do what it takes to make your pet feel at home. As for me caring for your pet in your home, that will largely be determined by your home and your dogs needs and wants!
Galivan pet parents share their Rover experiences
Caroline was very attentive to our puppy and helped ease our minds as new dog parents so we could step out and enjoy an evening to ourselves. She kept Aero busy with toy playtime and sent us constant updates which we appreciated. We came home to a happy relaxed puppy which is all we could hope for! Will definitely use Caroline’s sitting services again. Thank you!
Chelsea was wonderful!! Had some last minute changes and she was super flexible. She sent tons of updates and was able to easily handle 3 dogs for the weekend. It is obvious she gave them lots of attention as they were worn out when we get back, would book her again!!
Robert took incredible care of our home and our 4 dogs, 2 cats, turtle, and gecko. The house looked just as we left it and he updated us with photos while we were gone. I felt so comfortable while away which says a lot. I would definitely use Robert again! Highly recommend!
Nikki was absolutely amazing with our dog Otto! From the meet and greet she came over and met him and learned his schedule to a tee! She took him on so many long walks and adventures, and went above and beyond to make sure he had a great time and get a ton of love while we were away! She even sewed one of his toys he had ripped up. You can tell she truly loves animals, and did the best job with our boy, who loves getting a lot of exercise! We felt like he was in the best hands and she kept us updated the entire time with so many pictures and videos, which was so very nice. Nikki is the absolute best!
Thank you to Laura for making sure our Bailey girl was well taken care of! Laura is wonderful! She constantly communicated with messages and photos, which was so greatly appreciated and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Laura was so patient with Bailey, spent a lot of one on one time with her and was really attentive to her needs. Will definitely be calling upon Laura again in the future!
Samantha took great care of Jax. I got lots of updates and pictures and confirmations that she was putting in the extra effort for his care. The house was clean and his box was unkept when i got home. He warmed up to her slowly which means she took it at his pace which i greatly appreciate. It means she knows how shy cats can be. Thank you so much and Jax and i Greatly appreciate all the extra efforts. Means so much when I’m away! My old man is almost 19 Now and his care is imprornat to me.
