“Rodney is fantastic! It was our first time using Rover and he made us comfortable. He was able to answer all of our questions, and address our concerns before our trip. He went above and beyond while staying with our pets. My dogs loved him and he was very communicative and provided constant updates. I would highly recommend Rodney, and plan on using him moving forward!”


“My animals seem to be happy when I got home. I got pictures and updates like I requested.”


“Ellen made my trip actually feel like a vacation when I didn’t have to worry about my dog, she sent pictures, and kept my house the way it was like I never left! Cannot recommend her enough and will use her again and again!”


About: My whole life my parents have had dogs so I’ve grown up around dogs since I was an infant, this also means that they’ve had quite a few different puppies over the years and I have helped train them. I am the go to person for all of my friends and family. If they need someone to watch their pets while they’re gone I absolutely love seeing their animals and taking care of them and I treat everyone’s animals as if they’re my own and do the things that I would want others to do for my pets. During the school year, I work as a teaching assistant at an elementary school. This means that my summers are very open and free to watch others pets and give them plenty of love and attention. I care for pets in others homes as if they were my own pet, I will make sure to play with them and feed them and get them outside, but also just cuddle them if they like that and give them the space if they also would prefer that.

About: While I'm more used to cats, I do also love dogs. Have a dog with separation anxiety? I can keep them company for a while! I will be working part-time Monday-Friday from 2 pm to 6 pm. I will be available to watch your pets from 9:30 am-1:30 pm on those days (despite what options this site gave). On Saturdays and Sundays I'll be available from 3 pm-8 pm. If I am unable to watch a pet at any time, I will let you know ahead of time by at least a few days. I currently own a cat, Higgins, who is a big lovebug and fairly food motivated. I've been in charge of feeding him breakfast and dinner since we rescued him in 2015, along with scooping his litterbox. He's also needed nightly medication for some stomach issues, so I have experience giving him a pill. I can feed your pet, clean up after them whether they have a set schedule or not, and provide medication if necessary.

About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! I’ve had pets in the house my whole life—from small dogs and cats to large breeds. I’m confident, calm, and genuinely love caring for animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, or just some company, I’ll treat them like family. You can count on me for safe, loving, and dependable care every time. 🐾 I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. I am available during the week and weekends! I prefer to watch pets in your home but can offer care in my home. I have 3 acres of land and a dog of my own.

About: I’m reducing my current job schedule to part time as a mental health therapist in order to engage in my passions. With this in mind, I would love to direct my empathy, patience, and connection towards any animal(s). I currently own 3 cats and would want nothing but the best for them if I were to be away and so I will use this as my guide when keeping care of your pets. I have been around animals most of my life and have taken care of dogs, and cats primarily for family, friends, and strangers throughout my career experience. This is my first time on an app so please feel free to ask any other questions as it is welcomed! I’m currently working part time with a flexible schedule so I would like to say I am very flexible and can work with most schedules at this time. I live by treating others the way you want to be treated, so if I am at someone else’s home, I will be respectful on the space and property. I will be taking care of and treating your animals as if they are mine and will make sure to bring them some comfort while they’re guardian(s) are away!

“Lauren is great! Our pets warmed up to her right away at the meet and greet, she was on time, and she sent me lots of updates. It's so nice to be able to get away while knowing my babies are in good hands! Thank you Lauren!!”


About: I have a love for animals big and small. I enjoy exploring and making new experiences with animals. I have experience with elderly and medical needs animals. I work as a nanny and have sometimes weeks off and would love to have an animal to take care of and take places with me. I have a house with 13 acres, for dogs that are not recall trained I use a 10 ft leash and always make sure leases are on before the door opens. I have a separate room for my own animals that way if rabbits or cats are meet with aggression all animals will be safe.

“Kent is great! My dog is really anxious and has a lot of energy. He doesn’t warm up to people quickly but they became best buds right away. My dog was exhausted when I got home. The last time I had to use a dog sitter my dogs eating habits would change and showcase a lot of separation anxiety every time! This time I returned to a happy well adjusted puppy who had a great time with his best friend. My house was spotless when I returned home as well. Thanks!”


“We started our experience with Evan with a 10 day house-sitting. Our two dogs warmed up to him right away in the meet-and-greet. He even has experience with epileptic dogs such as ours, so that was reassuring. Evan also was responsive to each dog's quirks. When we returned, the house was found as good as we left it. We'll be reaching out to Evan for future arrangements.”


About: My family always had dogs and cats while I was growing up. I sorted the pictures of the dogs I have known the longest to the shortest, with a photo of me at The Hemingway House in Key West FLA petting a cat. First is my childhood dog named Fezz who passed away in 2020. Second is my brothers beagle, Jack. Next is an old friend’s tan Pitbull named Louise. Then the two dogs are my friend Michelle’s dogs Roxanne (white one) and Sally Jean (black one). The black one passed away last year. Next is my dad’s white puppy named Piggie. The next photos are my friend Andy’s dogs. Two Bully Breeds. The white one is Biggie and the grey one is Gianna. I watch my friend Andy’s dogs Gianna and Biggie a lot and I walk them together. Biggie is a rescue and is considered a high risk dog. Biggie has bit 10+ people, but he loves me so much and is very comfortable around me. I wouldn’t say I’m a dog whisperer, but I certainly have a way with dogs. I have watched my brother’s beagle as well a few times. When I lived in CO (about a decade ago) I watched a German Shepherd and an Alaskan Malamute. They were a handful and hard to walk together as they were both pretty big and strong, but I was still able to do it. I work remote doing life and health insurance, so I’m just looking for a side job to supplement my income until I build my book of business up. I could watch them at my house as I have a huge fenced in yard, but I would rather meet the animal at home where it’s most comfortable for them. When I watch Andy’s dogs, I watch them at his house.

“Anne did a fantastic job. She's highly professional, timely and tidy. We booked Anne to stay at our place for a few days while me and my wife went out of town and when we got home the house was in great condition and the only trace was some tired puppies (which is great!). Would definitely recommend. No complaints here”


“Mikaila was a true God Send. She was kind, gentle, and attentive. Paloma and I are beyond grateful for being able to connect with her. I was close to giving up on Rover due to bad experiences, but meeting Mikaila and connecting her with my Paloma changed that. Her caretaking and attentiveness allow for the peace of mind and comfort pet owners endlessly search for. Highly recommended”


“Tess did a great job staying over with our dog Coral. She kept her fed, and she also kept her company while we were away. She kept us updated with photos nearly every day, and she was usually very easy to reach.”


“Kristy is an excellent pet sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure our pets are well cared for when we are away. I never have to worry Kristy is with our dogs. She is quick to respond and sends updates throughout her stay. Our dogs are thrilled to see her and enjoy her company. It’s comforting knowing I have someone who truly cares for my pets when I am gone.”

About: I’ve never not had a dog in my life. Currently I have a turtle, 2 dogs and I watch my bosses dog all the time. I’ve always been good at taking care of animals and sensing their emotions and things they may need. I have a zoom class Mondays and Wednesdays starting at 6. I work Thursday - Friday but I can work visits or walks in between shifts. I’m very familiar with all different types of needs for your animal(s). I’ve crate trained dogs my whole life, I’m very experience in walking dogs, I walk strong pit bulls on a daily basis so any size I can handle.

“Brittany was very responsible and sensitive to the needs of our dogs. She sent lots of pictures to us and kept us updated on how the dogs were doing. I would recommend her without concern!!”


About: I’ve been house sitting and pet sitting since I was 10. I was my whole neighborhoods go to and now volunteer with the local animal shelter on a regular basis. I also have a dog of my own, Scout. He is a 10 year old German shepherd- collie mix. I have had a great deal of experience with my own pets and others. I will make sure they always feel happy and are safe under my watch. I am currently living in an apartment with no children or pets present. My job has flexible hours with different shift opportunities. It allows flexibility and the ability to keep your key healthy, entertained, and happy all the time! I have worked with some escape artists dogs in my time at the shelter. I am able to take precautions and pick up in cues to stop accidents before they happen.

“Libby has and continues to be one of the most responsible, kind and loving pet caregivers I have ever met. Having grown up connected to fellow animal lovers, Libby knows first hand what an important part of the family our pets truly are.
