“Outstanding job as always taking care of our fur babies. My boyfriend & I are able to relax when we’re away knowing our cat is in good hands, definitely recommend Debbie! Thank you!!!”
“Elizabeth is awesome to work with. She completely tailors care to what is best for us and our pets. From extra long walks with our shy pooper to last minute bookings she has been incredible.”
“I came home to find Larghetto and Minuet calm, clean, and happy—clearly well cared for during the drop-in visit. Thank you, Rachel, for taking such good care of them!”
“Patricia is always prompt, a good communicator, and takes good care of my Lil ones. I'm a repeat client because she gives me peace of mind with her updates, photos, and letting me know how my pets are so I can spend less time worrying and either spend more time enjoying my time or focusing on work while I'm away.”
“This was my first time ever having someone other than my mom watch my baby Oreo, but let me just say that Megan was amazing with him! She spoiled him like I do everyday! I felt so comfortable having her there and would definitely use her again if needed.”
About: I have been taking care of my neighbors, family, friends, and my own dog/pets for 10 years including walks, feeding, watching, and helping train. I have experience with puppies and older dogs as well as injured or sick dogs. I am currently in a local college for health care. I am free all day Saturday-Monday and after 3 Tuesday-Friday. I have transportation and can drive a reasonable distance. I would follow any rules you have set for your dog (ex. food allowed, walking requirements, type of leash/collar for walks, and if they need to be crated or not) I would be able and willing to provide any medical care needed as long as I am shown how to correctly.
“My two cats were very calm when I came home after Brad and Mery had been taking care of them. That told me they’d gotten reliable, unobtrusive care that let the cats go on with their normal lives even when I was away. I appreciated the daily messages as I tend to worry. Brad and Mery’s dependable, kind and no-fuss care was exactly what my two needed. Highly recommend.”
“Sydney is the best! She is extremely helpful, professional and attentive to my dog's needs. She is always on time and thorough with her visits. Couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
“Pam is a very good doggie day care provider. I felt instantly comfortable with her and I could tell with her interactions with my dogs that she truly loves animals. She was with my dogs the whole visit and sent me pictures of them. So good to find a person like Pam when you need help with your fur babies.”
“Felicity was wonderful with my cats. She did so much and was so reliable. I know they will miss her and I'd be thrilled to have her back any time. Thank you Felicity ❤️”
“She did amazing job , took good care of my dog. Always sent pictures of my dog every time she went over to let my dog outside. Thank you again”
About: New to Rover! Intro rates through August while I build reviews — message me with questions! I treat every dog like my own and specialize in calm, loving care for all ages and energy levels. I provide trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable care tailored to your pet’s unique needs and personality. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and providing each pet with personalized love and attention to keep them happy and healthy. I prioritize a safe, trusting environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I create calm spaces, supervise closely, and build strong bonds based on respect and gentle care every visit.
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life . 30 + years. I currently have a 3 yr old Scottish terrier who gets lots of walks & exercise daily. Family & Friends always rely on me to help take care of their fur babies! A walk a day will keep the vet away for your babies ! My schedule is flexible for dog walking rain or shine ! I can come morning & late afternoon/ evening. I like to make sure a pet gets a well timed lengthy walk with attention. 😁 I treat any dog like my own. Lots of TLC & attention. I like to establish trust with the dog and build off that !
About: I don’t have specific set of skills other than the fact that I am a dog mom. My dogs are my world and my main priority. I have a lot of love to give and I think animals deserve it the most. I’m currently unemployed as I recently left my job as it just wasn’t the right fit any longer. I will make myself available to be with your pet as much as needed and wanted by the client. I’m 44 years old with an older son who is 28. So for people my age who normally have small children I have my 2 dogs and my 2 cats. They are my children My animals are always considered in any and all plans that I may have. They are my top priority and your animal would be no different. I am a nurturer by nature. When I was in need of dog sitter Rover provided me with someone who took care of and loved my dogs just as much as I did. It motivated me to want to be that person for other people. I will love and spoil your animal as if they were my own. Allowing you to leave them knowing they are being well taken care of. I have a fully fenced in yard and I would make any special arrangements as far as feeding, crating etc that would be needed for your animal.
About: I have previously worked at a cat shelter (approx 250-300 cats), I have been a cat owner consistently for 21 years, I have sat a “zoo” before ~ dogs, cats, birds, a frog, fish, etc. I love to spend quality time with pets, not just a quick 5 minute drop in. I will happily rub their belly on top of feeding them. I have never, ever met a cat that didn’t like me! Typically the complete opposite & they end up adoring me. 😅 I work full time during the day til 5:00 and am remote 3 days a week (mon, tues, fri), with a compressed workweek that makes it possible to have every other Friday off. M-F I could do an evening visit only, and on days off (every other Friday or weekends) I could do one visit in the morning & one in the evening. Thanks to summer hours at my FT job I am available after 1pm every Thursday through August 28th. My cats are spoiled ~ there’s 2 litter boxes, 2 wet food dishes, 2 areas with dry crunchy food, and a water fountain. They get Churu’s or treats every once in awhile. I keep the floors clean so they don’t find some random thing to chew on. So needless to say I would treat your cat like royalty pretty much. 😊

I’ll provide plenty of attention, affection, and keep your pet comfortable and safe while you’re away.

“I have known Kathryn for over 20 years. She is a hyper aware, highly communicative, honest human with a gigantic heart. You can fully trust her to take great care and give love to your animals and respect you home. If your animals were to stay in her home, I can assure you that her animals are supremely taken care of and her home is safe and very well kept with a beautiful and large back yard for play time.”

Sarah O.
“Sarah cared for my two dogs, Kronk and Bones, while I was on vacation for a week. She walked them daily, made sure they stayed hydrated and well-fed in the heat, and even sent the cutest photo updates without me asking! She was incredibly responsive, responsible, and clearly loves animals. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
