About: I have had horses and dogs for most of my life. I love being around animals and developing a bond with them. I am an Air Force Veteran and small business owner. I am very reliable and trustworthy to take care of the special dog in your life. I have availability in the evenings after my classes at UC Davis Monday, Wednesday and Friday after 3pm and Tuesdays from 7-9am. I can also help on some weekends by appointment! I am a gym owner and I would primarily have your pet there unless I were to watch your pet in your home. I have a fully vaccinated, friendly 2 year old Doberman mix that will keep your pet playful and busy at my gym or I can leave her home and come for a visit to your residence.

“Ashley was an amazing caretaker for our kitties. It was so good to know they were being so well cared for. She always had very thorough reports with lots of photos and we just enjoyed reading them too. Definitely will repeat!!! Thanks Ashley!!!”
“Faith was great with my four cats! Even the one who hides all the time she made sure he had his food. Twice a day feedings and litter maintenance. Will for sure request her again!”
About: I grew up around dogs and cats and love all furry friends! Love giving pets, scratches, and playing with furry friends. And most importantly… cuddling! I’m currently working on getting my master’s for social work so I only work part time and go to school online. I’m available on weekends and most of the day on Tuesdays and Fridays if I don’t have to drop off/pick up my mom from work. I am very attentive with pets, giving them attention, pets and cuddles. I work with autistic children so my reflexes are quick and I am always paying attention!
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and some of the greatest loves of my life have had four paws. I had my sweet cat, Henry, for four wonderful years before he passed away, and for the last three years I helped raise and care for an adorable Goldendoodle who now lives with her other pet parent. I don’t currently have a fur baby of my own, so I genuinely love getting the chance to care for other people’s pets. I’ve also spent years pet sitting for friends and family, and I know how much trust it takes to leave someone you love in another person’s care. I’m affectionate, attentive, dependable, and probably the person who will be talking to your pet like we’re old friends within five minutes. Whether they love long walks, playtime, belly rubs, couch cuddles, or just having a calm human nearby, I’m happy to give them all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I’m a full-time, stay-at-home writer, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your fur baby lots of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I love having a furry companion join me for my morning and evening walks. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I only board pets from one household at a time, so your fur baby gets plenty of individual attention and a calm, secure environment without unfamiliar pets coming and going. I have a large fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, and I’m also walking distance from a beautiful large park that’s perfect for longer walks and exploring. I have a dog crate available for crate-trained pups, and I’m happy to follow your usual feeding, walking, sleeping, and household routines so your pet feels as comfortable and at home as possible while you’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I love high energy animals and taking care of them. I grew up with a dog and cat I still have and care for and more recently I have been a volunteer at the Humane Society, I even ended up starting my own club of volunteers in high school. This role has equipped me with all sorts of animal care skills such as cleaning after them, bathing them, feeding them and administering medication, and making sure to provide lots of love and attention. I’ve always said that I’m not a dog or cat person when asked, but rather an animal person. I love animals and caring after them. I am a college student at Tulane University and I am currently home for the summer! I am available until June 22nd and have open availability all day every day until then. I have a fenced yard and two pets of my own that are both friendly so I am no stranger to spending time outdoors with animals or having playdates. I am more than happy to take pets to any appointments they may have and am able to administer medication if needed.
About: I’ve had a pet my whole life! Growing up, we always had a dog (from a rat terrier to a boxer to a black lab)! I also have a cat of my own that I got a few years ago my little baby!! I love all animals and hope I can take care of them while you are away! I am currently in graduate school to be a speech pathologist and am looking for a part time job pet sitting! I love animals so much and would love to help out pet owners in any way I can bc I know how hard it can be to have time to take care of your little fur babies! I have clinic and classes throughout the week at various times but I am available most weekdays after 3-4pm and anytime on weekends! I make sure I have the best things for my pets at home! I live with my parents and our family dog and my cat! We have plenty of toys that we play with them with, I just bought my cat a new stainless steel water bowl bc I found that it’s better for their skin health, treats of course!, and a fenced back yard with plenty of space for our pitbull to get her zoomies out!
About: Working part time from home, so I am fully available to care for your babies! I have 2 cats, Blue and Teigen, who are 10 years old. They are my children! I have more experience caring for cats than I do dogs. Although, I love to hang out with dogs and get a day of running around in, which we both need💞 I work from home part time- so aside from caring for my own 2 cats, I have full availability to take care of your babies. I’m looking forward to building trusting relationships with owners and pets! I follow each clients instructions carefully and care for their pets as if they were my own. I am currently offering drop ins for cats and dog walking. I am also open to house sitting!
About: I have over 5 years of experience working at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—including puppies, senior dogs, and anxious pets. I also have experience caring for cats and am the proud owner of a 7-year-old Sphynx, so I understand the unique care and attention cats need. Your pet will be treated like family while they’re with me. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve always loved animals growing up. I loved them so much I wanted to become a Veterinarian. Even though I did not become that Veterinarian, I still deeply care for animals. With a dream to start my own rescue one day. God willing. Saving all the animals that need the most love and care. I have worked with animals in the past, volunteered for the LASPCA & have been the proud owner of 2 cats and 2 American Pitbull Terriers. I’m the one at the party with the dog instead of the people. I enjoy hanging out with cats and dogs, playing and giving them love and attention they deserve. Pet care fits into my daily/weekly routine because I care for my own dog. I take her for car rides, walks (when it’s not too hot) and giving lots of love. It’s something I look forward to everyday. I currently live in an apartment so I like to take my dog out for rides and long walks to get her exercise. As well as my own steps. I am very good with animals and being able to gain their trust. There’s no dog too big or small, they are all mostly big babies.
About: I’ve been taking care of my animals and others’ animals from a young age. I have a range of experience- with puppies and kittens, administering medication, unique personalities, special needs, and more. Whether its a high energy dog or a nervous and shy cat or anything in between, I have seen it all! I am flexible and willing to help in any way I can! Currently not boarding at the moment since I am moving into a new space soon. I can go home for lunch during the week and am free all evenings and weekends. Since I am in the process of moving to a new space, I am not boarding at the moment. I am usually available for boarding on weeknights after 4p and full days on the weekends. Your pet is my priority whether I am at your place or mine. When staying at your place, I will always try to leave it neater than when I came across it. Whether its replacing batteries in your ring camera or letting the service man come in, I am available to help you in anyway you need when something unexpected occurs while you're out. Any animals staying at my home are made to feel comfortable and safe; my home becomes their home!
“Super communicative and flexible! Aileen took care of our cat for 4 days while we were gone and sent us really cute pictures and updated us on everything. She was able to administer oral medications too. Would rebook her again”
About: My experience has been mostly my family and friends. I have taken their animals on walks, bathed them, fed them, played with them. Took them to parks and even trained them on new skills. Since I just graduated I have very open availability and ready to help. I am very organized and dependable, I value time management, my career/education, and most importantly taking care of people and animals. I am currently waiting for the new school year to roll around and continue my education so my schedule is free. I wake up early to work out but that time can be flexible depending on if I have a pet to watch. I keep the animals on the schedule they are used to. Feed them, fill water, walks, clean behind them, playtime, medicine if they need. Also litter box maintenance for cats. Also making sure we’re safe in the house and my phone near me to contact the owners if needed.
“Lauren and the kitties seemed to get along just fine. She was very communicative and sent pics of the babies daily. The kitties had a great time and we will definitely be using Lauren again for our house sitting needs.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Harahan
I highly recommend Elizabeth as a pet sitter. She was so sweet to my cat Kiki and cared for her as if she were her own. She played with her just as I asked her to and did everything else I asked her to. She is so nice and I trust her. She is my first choice for any pet sitting needs in the future. With her my mind is at peace and i know Kiki will be just fine. Thanks again Elizabeth. I hope you'll be able to pet sit Kiki again.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
