“Damaris took care of our 5 cats in three different places and did a great job- she was very loving to our barn cat which truly helped in getting the cat to welcome touch- I’d definitely use her again!”


“Emily did a great job looking in on our cat. She was extremely timely, communicative, and very understanding and accommodating of our unique situation. We are fortunate to have found her! ❤️”


“Trish is a very rare pet sitter, someone who has a passion for animals. She actually cares about the pets she is responsible for. She dedicates time to find all of our cats, who hide very well I might add. She brings toys for them, she brushes them, she loves on them. Our cats almost hate for us to return from vacation as they miss Trish! Her communication with us is amazing. She is very responsible! We would never trust anyone else but Trish with our pets!”


“Patricia was awesome! She took great care of our felines, feeding them and assuring they were loved! She sent pictures and texted us so we knew how they were doing, We’ll love to have her back!”


About: From a teacup poodle to a big mastiff, I've had pets of various sizes. I've pet-sit (or "cat-sat"), my friends and families pets whenever they needed so I'd be happy to do that as well. I'm also no stranger to helping feed pets their nasty medicine as well. I'm currently looking for a job as I've just moved down here! That being the case, I've got plenty of time (with almost an entirely free schedule), to walk and play with your pups! I have met dogs and cats of all energy levels, from pups that have high energy to those who like to make their daily rounds before plopping down for a nap. Whatever their needs are, I am happy to comply. Their comfort and enjoyment is my top priority!

“Alex really came through for me when another sitter dropped out last minute. He's flexible, communicative, and you can tell he really cares about the animals. My little dude wasn't as stressed as he normally is when I come home from a trip. Definitely recommend.”


About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12 years old. From training and raising my own dog to be a service dog to watching and walking friends and families dogs, horses, fishes, and rats. I’ve done it all! I can be there morning, afternoon, or evening to check on, walk, feed, and love on your pet! I also offer grooming services! Please reach out to me if you are looking to get your dog groomed. 😊 I have a fenced in yard, a dog, and a cat to keep your fur baby company while you’re away. I am also able to crate your pet if necessary!

“We felt very comfortable leaving our babies behind with Penny! Now we can travel without worries and know that our kitties will be taken care of. She was very communicative and thorough. We will be using her again :)”

About: I've have two dogs of my own, one is a blue heeler/ rottweiler named Tak and the other is a Vizla whos name is Haruko. Which means sunlight child in Japanese. He has the more golden glowing eyes! I also have been around dogs most of my life, my partners mom got us into volunteering at The Bully Project and we go and walk the dogs just because.My partners mom use to work there too. I also grew up with close to around 20-30 cats at once when I was a little girl, I was always so use to being surrounded by them in my yard and hanging out with them as much as I possibly could. Ive always been real sensitive to animals and their feelings, it's literally a sixth sense. I was currently managing and running my own professional wedding photography business but have slowed down drastically to focus on the little things. Im interested in dog/cat sitting and getting into learning how to grow a garden. Im wanting to take a huge break from social media and work more in the physical world. I also have two dogs of my own so its always been in my routine to care my my pets and take care of them. I have a huge open availability this whole year. I don't recommend having them stay at my own home just because of how high energy my Vizsla is. I do however recommend I come to your home to watch them. I promise to make sure your pets are comfortable with me there, make sure they go outside as frequently as needed to go to the bathroom, take medication, have cuddles, and watch for all the little things. Even keep the active on commands/tricks if they use any, that way they are consistently engaged. Im always outside the entire time with my dogs even though we have a fenced in yard because I want to make sure they don't dig under the fence and escape and that they are truly looked after in the best possible way.

This isn't just a job... it's my life to care for loving animals. I walk and play pets and treat them as if they are my own. Pets love my care and will go home happy and relaxed.

About: I've helped care for not only pets, but also my younger siblings since a young age. I have a kitten named Shiva and my family recently cared for a mother and son pair of husky/German Shepherd mixed. Sadly, due to our situation at home, we couldn't keep the dogs with us. But, due to my love for animals, my friend recommended I apply to be a pet sitter on Rover. I have some experience with injured animals and caring for them. I also have experience working with other people's animals. My schedule tends to be pretty flexible. My schedule tends to be pretty flexible. At least one or two Thursday nights of each month i like to go home and spend time with my family. Due to my home situation, I won't be able to have animals in my home. Therefore, I won't be offering boarding or day care services in my home.

I’m in the process of semi retiring and have days and evenings available to share with your babies during that to time just let me know. I have a great area for pets indoors or outdoors and also a safe place for the dogs to run. If you prefer them to be indoors just let me know what your details are.

Weekly Care: 1. Deeper Cleaning: • Sanitizing play areas, feeding bowls, and bedding thoroughly. • Checking and maintaining facility equipment. 2.

Tifani B.
“My husband and I will only use Tifani for our pet sitting and home sitting needs. We have 2 dogs and 2 small parrots. They absolutely love her. It’s clear that she has a special way with animals and knows how to build trust with them. Tifani listened to our specific care needs for the pets and followed them. My parrots are not friendly to other humans but Tifani navigated this obstacle beautifully, taking wonderful care of them. We also have a lot of plants, each with certain watering needs. Tifani took such great care of them. Yes, we are high maintenance! So having someone like Tifani to rely on when we leave on vacation is a God send! We never have to worry about our home or our fur and feather babies!”


Ashlyn O.
“Ashlyn is a good friend of mine, she adores animals and treats them all very gently. She has pride in whatever she does, which makes me confident that she will respect your home and animals and give them the best care! As a fellow sitter on Rover, I would highly recommend Ashlyn as an option for my clients!”


Lylia D.
“To whom it may concern, I have known Lylia for decades and it is an honor to speak on her abilities, character, and caring nature. Lylia has shown me, and many others, what it is to care for a home, family, pets and more. Here punctuality and attention to detail is exceptional. I appreciate Lylia as a mentor not only to me, her family and friends but whom ever she is engaging with. This would be a great opportunity for any pet owner to have their beloved pet(s) in the hands of a trusting, loving and beyond capable caretaker. She has my full endorsement and encouragement to care for all "Rover" pets that are fortunate enough to be scheduled with her.”


Hai C.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Hailey! Her love for animals shines through in every interaction. The training she provides not only improves our pets’ behavior but also strengthens our bond with them. She is truly dedicated to their well-being."”
