“I needed help last minute to care for my dood. Jenny was able to come super last minute and take care of him. She went above and beyond to care for Drake. Taking him on multiple walks, playing with him and making sure he was fed on time. I would highly recommend her as a caretaker and would definitely request to have her help again. Thank you Jenny! 💖”


“Suky was fantastic. Great communicator, knowable, responsible, flexible. Our GSD Sansa was recently diagnosed w/ Cushing's Disease and needed medicine and some extra attention. Suky took everything in stride and got along famously w/ Sansa. We would book Suky again in a heartbeat. Thanks Suky!”


“Victoria was great with our dog! She watched her while we were at a wedding and was super accommodating and flexible with our timing, based on Bella’s energy, it was clear Victoria treated her well. She was really respectful of our home as well and I’d definitely call Victoria again to watch Bella in the future.”


About: Hello fellow pet lovers! My name is Kim, and I have been surrounded by the love and companionship of animals my entire life. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s truly who I am. From a young age, I’ve shared my home with all manner of animals! From dogs and cats, to gerbils, hamsters , chinchilla, birds, and fish. I understand just how much our furry friends mean to us. My beloved Havanese was a cherished member of our family for 17 wonderful years. During his life, I cared for him through every stage—from 16 weeks to dementia and the rainbow bridge. I have administered medications, managed illnesses, and provided comfort and healing. These experiences taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of attentive, individualized care. I have also fostered both dogs and cats, helping them transition into loving forever homes. This has given me valuable experience with a variety of personalities, temperaments, and special needs. In addition, I’ve often looked after neighbors’ dogs while they travel, so I know how important it is for pet parents to feel confident and worry-free while they’re away. I specialize in caring for animals 40 pounds or less, and I am happy to provide pet sitting in your home—where your pet feels most comfortable—or possibly in my own home, depending on your needs. I offer daily walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I also have experience with grooming, bathing, and hygiene care, so your pet will always feel their best! My goal is to make sure every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I’m always attentive to their unique routines and preferences. Whether your pet needs a gentle walk, a cozy place to nap, or some extra TLC, I’m here to help. Thank you for considering me to care for your precious pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Currently I have great availability. I can be your regular care giver several times a day, several days a week, or your occasionally, as needed. My hours are flexible to meet your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide attentive, responsible care in a clean, pet-friendly environment, whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming your pet into mine. I maintain strict hygiene by regularly cleaning litter boxes and pet areas, and I’m experienced with administering medications and flea treatments safely. You can trust that your pet will never be left unattended during my visits. I always follow your instructions closely, keep doors and windows secure, and ensure your cat’s environment is calm and stress-free. I believe in open communication, so I’ll send regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind and real-time insight into your pet’s well-being. I am committed to earning your trust through reliability, transparency, and genuine care for your furry family member. Your pet’s happiness and safety are at the heart of everything I do.

“Fortunately for my cats and I, Justin was available to house sit due to an unexpected cancellation. It was a distressing time for me, but I felt reassured when Jistin arrived at the home and tended to the cats needs right away. I am grateful for Justin's prompt reply to my inquiries and professionalism.”


“Natalie was amazing! She took great care of the dogs, including a troublesome puppy, and was super respectful of the house, the schedule, and our time! She took the request last-minute which was great and she was flexible and experienced with handling my dogs’ varying energy levels. She also contacted me right away when there was an issue and handled it like a pro! Would definitely book again & recommend.”


“Francis was a fantastic sitter for our dog and cat, we could not have asked for better person to look after them. Francis was meticulous from the beginning, I appreciated the initial meeting where we could share important details to ensure a right fit. During the stay he was extremely diligent, and even changed his schedule to fit with our cat’s medication timings. He was gentle and loving to both of our pets and provided us continuous updates. We could not recommend him enough and have already rebooked him for our next trip out of town.”


“Katie was a pleasure to work with! Our dog was well cared for, including looking after a last minute hurt paw and some extra effort to make dog food when there was a shortfall. She kept in very good touch about questions that came up, and sent some adorable pics of our puppy during her two-week stay. House was in great shape when we came back, including houseplants.”


About: I have my own dogs and treat them like they’re my children. I go out on walks pretty often and workout outside with my dogs just to stick with them. I can work anytime and any day except Friday and Saturday nights due to my part time job but any other day during the week is great! I play with them a lot, give treats but not too much, I watch tv with my dog and they seem to enjoy it as much as me!

“Inga met with us a couple of days before the start of the booking and it was immediately clear that she was good with dogs as our duo can be a little picky but they got along with her well. She also asked a lot of questions about the dogs, which made us feel more at ease. We were traveling out of town and Inga arrived earlier than asked to ensure there were no problems, sent us several updates with photos and videos of our dogs each day, and it was clear from them (and once we came back) that our dogs really liked her. Would highly recommend for anyone else and hopefully we'll be able to have Inga dogsit for us in the future as well.”


About: Hi there furry friends! For the past years I have been taking care of our family Shih tzu, Chihuahua and Dachshunds loving pets! I am loving, caring, detail oriented and patient. I grew up with pets and comes natural to me to cuddle and snuggle! Love taking my furry friends for walks and play. I’m currently doing Rover full time. All my attention and focus is on my current and future furry friends and their pawrents. Making long term connections allows us to get to know each other better and cater to your preferences. I’m detail oriented, and like to have a meet and greet before taking care of your loving pets. Communication is key and going over your pets preferences is a base for your peace of mind while away from home. Sending updates and pictures to make you feel at ease is a must.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was about four years old, and caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve raised and cared for a wide variety of animals—from chameleons, birds, and rabbits to cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve grown up around larger breeds like Pitbulls, German Shepherds, and American Bulldogs, so I’m confident and comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs just as much as more sensitive or exotic animals. What truly sets me apart is my hands-on experience with pets who have complex health needs. My sweet French Bulldog, Luna, has IVDD, GI sensitivities, seasonal allergies, recurrent UTIs, and has even battled sarcomas. Her care has taught me how to be deeply attentive, gentle, and proactive, and has inspired me to continually educate myself about animal health—from preventive care to chronic illness management. I’m experienced in giving medications, managing restricted diets, adapting physical routines, and keeping a close eye on subtle changes in behavior or comfort. I believe pets deserve to feel safe, understood, and loved, no matter what they’re going through. Even animals that are shy, stubborn, reactive, or hard to read tend to warm up to me—maybe because I meet them with patience, calm energy, and genuine love. Whether they’re high-energy or low-maintenance, I learn their rhythms and give them the care and attention they need to thrive. I’ve also worked with delicate animals like chameleons, who are highly sensitive to their environment and require a careful, knowledgeable approach. Whether your pet is furry, scaly, feathered, big, small, or somewhere in between—I’ve got the experience, heart, and adaptability to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free. I’m also very reasonable, reliable, and responsive. I know how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pet. I’d be honored to give you peace of mind—and give your pet the attention, comfort, and fun they deserve while you get a well-earned break from being a full-time pet parent. 💛 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I’m available weekends, and weekdays after 4:30 PM, with the exception of Tuesdays and Thursdays. Whether it’s a quick walk, a longer visit, or a few hours of play and care, I make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and affection they need. I plan ahead and stay flexible so I can offer dependable care, even on short notice when needed. When caring for pets—whether in my home or my client’s—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s unique needs. I’m especially experienced in managing more complicated care routines, thanks to my day-to-day life with Luna, my Frenchie who has IVDD, GI sensitivities, recurrent UTIs, seasonal allergies, and a history of sarcomas. Her care has made me detail-oriented, patient, and highly attuned to subtle signs of discomfort or health changes. I follow all feeding, medication, and activity instructions carefully and make sure the environment is clean, secure, and free of hazards—especially for pets with mobility or health limitations. I respect your pet’s usual routine and maintain clear, consistent communication with owners so you feel informed and confident every step of the way. Building trust—with both pets and their people—is always my top priority, and I treat every animal with the same level of love and care I give my own.

About: Since being overseas, I helped care for a wide variety of dogs, of plenty of sizes, breeds, ages and temperament. I pride myself on my willingness to work with your pet to find a connection that works for all of us. I am currently a student with my days typically free, as I schedule my work times on the weekends, so during the week pet care is a top priority. As long as I get a rundown of things you and your dog are comfortable with, I will be sure to stick to it. I strive to create and enriching and safe environment for your fur babies.


“Estelle took care of our one dog and two cats while staying at our house over the holiday weekend. We came home to 3 happy animals and a clean house. Estelle sent pics every day to make sure we knew our kiddos were doing well. We will definitely use Estelle again.”


About: All animals tend to love me, I have not met a animal that has never liked me, even the most timid animals feel comfortability when come in contact with me I do online schooling, so dog walking would be the best side hussle to take on to earn that extra money on my own time. I care for pets like any other owner would, which is feeding, playing and walking. May even bathe them if they are needed after playing or walking

“Cashja was great with our two dogs, even though one of them is a blind senior and has lots of needs. We'll definitely ask her for her help again next time we're out of town.”


“He was fantastic watching our big German Shepherd mix Dune at our house. He was very communicative and sent great pictures consistently. Our dog clearly had a great time and we felt very confident that he was well-cared for the entire stay.”

“Kim is remarkable with animals. She has so much love to give and her gentle nature makes winning over the toughest fur babies easy. If you have a pet with anxiety Kim is perfect.

I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter that truly cares and is very responsible for the needs and safety of their pet.”


Reyna C.
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Reyna Campos for several years, and I can say with full confidence that she is one of the most loving, reliable, and responsible pet caregivers I’ve ever met. She treats dogs with patience, compassion, and genuine joy. She has looked after my own pets on numerous occasions, and each time I return home to a happy, well-cared-for fur babies. From daily walks and feeding schedules, one which includes medications, to playtime and cuddles, Reyna handles every task with professionalism and care. She also pays close attention to details and is quick to notice if something seems “off,” which gives me enormous peace of mind when I’m away. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Reyna looking after their furry friend. I can’t recommend her highly enough for a position on Rover.com—she's truly a natural with animals and a trustworthy person through and through. Sincerely, Linda Ontai”

Inga took great care of my two senior girls one of which has a few medical issues and requires medication 3 times a day. She sent updates with photos and I could see both dogs were being well cared for. Inga has such a bright and positive energy about her and it's evident that she loves dogs and they love her! I was able to enjoy my time away with zero concerns or worries. If you have senior dogs you know what a gift that is! I will definitely book with Inga again and I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Inga for taking such wonderful care of my girls!

We had Estelle watch our senior dog Dillon while we went on a trip and she was super communicative and he loved having her around. We even felt safe when there was a brush fire down the street from our house and I was giving her the Watchduty updates in real-time. Thanks again!

Claudia is wonderful!! When I got home, the dogs were relaxed. For me, that's a sign of good pet sitting. They are comfortable with Claudia and her care. The pictures Claudia sent me showed that they were doing well. My dogs are getting older and need medication, which Claudia handled well. I will book her again!

Felicia did a wonderful job taking care of my puppy Leroy on such short notice. She left me some toys that he absolutely adores and kept me updated throughout the weekend. She also gave me some great advice and feedback on some things she noticed about him and how I can take care of it.

These guys are great! I could tell they had good energy when they came over for a meet and greet before we left on our trip. We needed house/dog sitters and we returned to happy pups and a clean house. We enjoyed our trip knowing our fuzzy babies were safe and sound. They sent us pictures throughout the week and even washed the bed sheets so we didn't have to worry about cleaning when we arrived back home. It was a great experience with these guys and we will use them again for sure!

Jerry was amazing with my feline beasts. She has excellent communication, provided me with videos and pics with each visit along with a brief summary of the visit. I am so happy to have found someone who cares for my felines as if they were her own. My cats required medicine and are not the cuddly pair. But Jerri was able to build a connection. I'm so appreciative of how well she took care of my animals and hm.

Giana did an amazing job while I was away for seven days. I would definitely have her back again. My dogs and cats absolutely adored her and she kept me updated on a daily basis with photos and videos. I was initially worried about having someone stay at my home, but I had nothing to worry about. She took good care of my pets and my home. If I could give her more than 5 stars I definitely would!

Kan was great with my Kuma dog. He accepted my request which was a little last minute, and even though my dog who is becoming more senior (9 yrs), is not socialized well with people and is usually afraid of men, by the end of my trip, I could tell she absolutely loved him and would miss him when coming back to me. He was very flexible and allowed me to do a transition where she would stay at my place for a few nights and then he would bring her to his place once she became more used to him. I think it helped her with being less stressed in a new environment, and as I said, I think he was very patient and she felt she could trust him. I’m so grateful I could find such an understanding and patient dog sitter to look after Kuma while I was away. I also received such cute pictures of her!
