About: I have lived with animals almost my entire life. These animals consisted of several dogs and cats, a rabbit, guinea pig, chinchilla, hamster, hedgehog, bearded dragon, some fish, a miniature horse, goats, hens and roosters, peafowl, ducks, turkeys, and geese. Oh my! Since August of 2022, I have been house and pet-sitting full-time in nine different states across the US, looking after over 60 homes with a combined total of upwards of 30+ cats and 30+ dogs. Many of these homes also had houseplants and gardens that needed looking after, and I have experience with growing plants from studying horticulture in college (not a single plant has died under my care yet, fingers crossed). I am newer to the Rover platform but can demonstrate my experience to homeowners in interviews and meet-and-greets with pets. During my time pet and house-sitting around the US, I was often told by homeowners that I take excellent photos of their pets (see profile pics). I take pride in the level of care I provide to pets, including the cute photos I take of them. I can hardly take credit, though, as all of the pets I look after happen to be incredibly photogenic. ;) Although I’m no longer traveling full-time, I still like to keep my schedule relatively free to take on pet care because I love what I do. When I’m at a sit, pet care takes full priority of my time and energy and my entire routine revolves around making sure your pets get the care they need. I intentionally choose work that is flexible so that I can prioritize time with your pets. I have always been able to accommodate pets that cannot be left alone for more than 4 hours at a time. More often than not, I am present at the home during the entirety of the sit because the opportunity to watch over your pets is a welcomed and rewarding break from the constant movement and change that comes with the travel lifestyle I once had. More on my scheduling preferences and availability: - I am comfortable with longer stays (my longest sit so far has been longer than a month). - I love pet-sitting in rural areas and enjoy driving out from the city. My one condition is that the road to your home should be accessible by most cars and not require high clearance or four wheel drive. I don’t currently offer services in my home (yet). When I care for pets in their own home, I try to replicate their routine as closely as possible to what they are used to at home when their owners are present. I wake up at the same time homeowners do, feed pets at their usual time, and take them on walks when they would typically go out at home. That being said, because this is what I do for a living, I have so much more extra time to spend with pets. I’m often able to give pets more loving attention and care than they typically receive in a household where homeowners leave for work during the day. I’m extremely conscious of any potential hazards to pets that may be around the home and keep a clean environment. Homeowners always report their home being cleaner after they return than when they left it. Safety is a top priority of mine. Since I began house-sitting as a service to others, I have experienced situations where pet health was thrown into jeopardy and I was tested on my ability to respond calmly and effectively. During my first-ever house-sit for a client, I navigated a wildfire evacuation and prepared the property according to the homeowners’ instructions (no animals were harmed and no damage to the property). In an another house-sit on a rural farm, I encountered a possum attempting to steal one of the chickens from the coop and successfully secured the safety of the farm animals and caught and relocated the possum (no animals were injured). I understand that unexpected scenarios pop up and I’m proud to house-sit for pet owners knowing that they can rely on me and feel safe leaving their pets in my care. I usually send photo and message updates every other day for homeowners to see how their pets are doing, but I have adjusted this to more or less frequently depending on homeowner preference. Once during a sit, in addition to regular photo and text updates, I also accommodated frequent video calls for an owner to allow her to talk to her chihuahua while she was overseas. They both seemed to appreciate that very much. :)

“Lexy is absolutely wonderful everytime she comes to walk our dogs they get so excited. She is so flexible and has brought peace of mind to our busy schedule”


About: I have taken care of pets including my own 2 dogs and cat, for a couple years now. I love meeting new pets and playing with them! I am currently an undergrad student at UND. In the summer I work at a daycare caring for infants. I am very flexible on weekends and work a steady schedule on weekdays! I am able to walk, potty, feed, and care for pets in any way they may need on time and just the way you would usually care for you own pets!

About: I grew up on a farm so I have experience taking care of a lot of different animals, from dogs to elk and everything in between My own pets include ferrets, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, parrots, fish, and hermit crabs. I want to help you with any and all of your pet and home needs. All services offered! I'm currently only working part-time over the summer so will have lots of availability to care for your pet as needed. I can work from anywhere so am available for housesitting and in-home boarding of your pets. I live in a spacious house with a fenced backyard in a quiet neighborhood with a lot of enrichment opportunities. When fur babies are in my house, they are just like a member of the family and will get lots of exercise, mentally stimulating activities, and cuddles.

About: I have had had pet care experience with all kinds of pets, from cats, dogs, and rabbits. I have volunteered at a cat shelter for 2 years back in my hometown in Hawaii. This included cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, feeding them, and giving medicine if needed. I also pet sat both big and small dogs and love to take them on walks. And I had a rabbit who lived to a long healthy age of 10 years! I do miss playing with my sister's cat back home so I will make sure your pet gets the love and care they need. I also can send pictures of your pet while you are away if wanted or if I think they are being cute or funny lol. I work part-time and am in and out of class depending on the week so we can work on a schedule together and see what works. I have wide spaced apartment if needed for pet sitting at my place for your pets to run around, but only for cats. I also have no problem caring for your pet in your own home and cleaning up after them.

“I’ve never meet Isabella, but she had great communication and was even willing to still walk my dog even though the weather was a little rainy. This was my first time using the app so I was a little worried but she was so nice and made me feel at ease. I would book with her again if I needed someone to walk my dog.”


About: I am a dog person to the bone; I grew up around dogs in Montana and have been dog and cat sitting for friends and others for most of my adult life. I also have experience in studying animal behavior and am good at observing dog behavior in particular. I am capable of managing new relationships between dogs and other animals. I am comfortable taking care of any breed and have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate most needs. I am also comfortable with taking care of animals with special needs or medical conditions and I have a vehicle large enough to transport even the biggest dogs in the event of an emergency. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your pets! My work provides me with flexibility in my schedule on most days to work from home or stop by frequently. My own dog, Ezra (in my photos with big ears, white with brindle markings), is a tri-pawd amputee and is friendly with other dogs and cats. Ezra roams around freely during the day if I have to be away and I never leave him alone longer than 8 hrs. I live in an apartment with easy access to outdoors. There are lots of dogs in my neighborhood and nearby parks to run around in.

About: I have always grown up with so many pets! From dogs to cats to lizards and chinchillas to many more. My family has always been big animal people and my brother even became a veterinarian. I am currently a student in PT school and have a month off this summer and am looking for a fun job. I think it would be great to spend some time with dogs and help families out! I currently have 6 weeks off from school this summer so my schedule is really open right now. I can be very flexible because of this and work with many dogs throughout the days! Like I said, I have always grown up with all kinds of animals. I truly care about their safety and will do everything I can to take great care of them!

She’s the kind of person who notices the little things, like when a pet's behavior is slightly off or when they need extra comfort during a storm. Her animals are clearly happy and well-adjusted, which speaks volumes about the love and consistency she provides. Anyone would be lucky to have Kennedi care for their pets. She treats all animals like family and brings both warmth and reliability to everything she does.”

“Kayla is a loving and kind-hearted person with both people and animals! She is playful with energetic dogs and is gentle with those that are more mellow.

Amy R.
“I’ve seen my daughter handle some of the toughest situations with grace and care. When her best friend passed away, she immediately took in her four kids, including a newborn who was just a few days younger than our own. Suddenly, she was caring for six kids, and she did it without hesitation or complaint. Her natural ability to take on responsibility and provide the utmost care to those in need speaks volumes about her character. She’s patient, loving, and incredibly capable, and I know she would bring all of that to the care of any animal. I have no doubt she would treat your pets like they’re part of her own family. Paul”
