“Hannah is wonderful. She is responsive and knowledgeable, and went above and beyond in taking care of my pets. It's wonderful knowing my animals are safe and content while I'm away. I will definitely reach out to her next time we need a sitter. Thank you, Hannah!”

“Kayla was awesome!!!! Communication was great, she went above and beyond for my Nala. I would definitely recommend Kayla and request her services in the future! Thanks Kayla!”

“Lilliana was absolutely amazing! Very communicative as she sent me pictures and updates every day. My pups loved her and she went out of her way to make sure they were well taken care of while we were gone. I 10/10 will be requesting her in the future”

“Katie was was an extraordinary sitter for my kitten, Salem. I was so nervous to leave my new kitten for a few days but after meeting Katie, I knew Salem was in good hands. Katie was prompt and on time with her check ins and sent detailed notes (and pictures!) of my kitten. Katie is very sweet and and I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a new dog or cat sitter!”

About: My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every animal deserves patience, love, or just some comforting company. I am more than happy to take care of your furry friend(s) all day on weekends or walk them M-F after 5pm. Please message me for more detailed availability if needed. I have been trained with the SPCA in California to handle large and small dogs. Caring for pets brings me joy, and I treat each one as if they were my own—because they deserve nothing less.
About: I worked with dogs on a daily basis at a Veterinary hospital. I was a boarding attendant there and gave care and playtime/exercise to them everyday. Since my husband joined the Military, I have had to leave my beloved job behind. I have a good amount of free time to care for animals. I am flexible and I am willing to work with you if you choose to work with me. I have found that I am at my happiest working with animals. I have raised numerous puppies and cared for a number of litters. I dog sit all the time. I even help my aunt out at her farm regularly. She has goats, ducks, cats, and dogs, and I am caring for all of them. Whenever I am caring for a pet, I always make sure to keep to their original routine provided as I can. But other than the routine given to me by owners (or I like to say "parents") I mainly like to make sure they are given walks/exercise daily, play with some of their favorite toys, make sure they are eating their food, getting enough to eat and drink, keeping the water fresh and clean, and making sure their environment is safe. And of course giving them love and affection. I also like to keep the parents updated on their fur babies by providing them with updated pictures and videos of them. I can always be reached by text message to answer any questions. Animals tend to gravitate toward me, and they are always in a great mood, and very happy when they are around me. I am a proud doggy mom myself. I have a toy poodle / beagle mix and we rescued a wonderful border collie/lab mix who is such a sweetie! I love animals and working with them is really rewarding. I look forward to meeting your fur babies!
“Rebecca was amazing and went far and beyond! She came and met our pets prior to our booking date and sent us pictures and videos every single day! Our pets absolutely loved her. We can’t recommend her enough and will book in the future.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting before, during college, and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I’m like Mary Poppins but for dogs ☺️ Going on 5+ years on Rover! My start began with my childhood pet, college friend’s pups, or my neighbor’s dogs. I have experience dog walking, giving medication via pills, and work on skills and behavioral issues with dogs and puppies. Or, just watching a movie and having cuddle time!! I love it all! I’m a recent college grad. I work from home, but Rover is top priority- I have maximum availability and flexibility to fit your needs. I can work long term with you or short. I’m flexible! **Please be mindful to regard safety procedures and allow more than 24 hrs before requesting services so I can meet your pet and see if we are a good fit.** I can NOT sit for you if we do not meet first. Please don’t ask the day before, for the safety of your pet and myself. I will not respond if you don’t mindfully read the safety guidelines for Rover. The holidays book fast so message me ASAP! ☺️ Safety is always my priority. Your dog’s comfort is so important. My goal is to leave your place looking “better than I found it”. I am tidy! I live in a spacious house with an unfenced backyard area. I do not have a crate. My dog Henny loves to play with others and keeps to himself when he’s tuckered out. He’s great making friends and being a patient teacher to young/timid dogs. He can come with me to play with your pup, but he is happy to stay home too.
About: I treat every dog like family — with patience, love, and lots of playtime! I go beyond just feeding and walking; I learn each pup’s personality, routines, and needs to keep them happy, safe, and stress-free while you’re away. Reliability and genuine care are what I bring every time. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I’m used to early walks, feeding schedules, play sessions, and keeping pets company throughout the day. Whether it’s morning cuddles, afternoon walks, or evening wind-downs, I make time to keep pets active, loved, and on routine—even on busy days. I have animals already so it’s in my blood! In my client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I follow feeding schedules, give lots of playtime and attention, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved in their own space. I also keep the home tidy and respect any rules you leave for me. If caring for pets in my own home, I offer a calm, pet-friendly space where your dog gets one-on-one attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of cuddles and play. I treat them like one of my own!
“Alyssa did a great job taking care of our pups! She was very responsive and made sure they got the attention they needed while we were gone. I hope Alyssa is available next time we go out of town.”

About: Hi! I'm Brianna, your friendly neighborhood pet enthusiast, and dedicated pet sitter. I've had pets all throughout my childhood and love animals. I have years of experience caring for my senior cat and family dogs. Walks, playtime, or just comfort, I'm here for your fluffy best friend! I am a recent college graduate currently working as a Kennel Technician and inspire to be a future Vet Tech. I work 7-5 but I can meet you and your fluffy friend's needs. I can accommodate to whatever your fluffy friend needs inside and outside the house in a safe and loving environment. I would recommend that your pets have all their up to date vaccinations since I have pets of my own in the house.
“Madolyn was amazing. I highly recommend her as sitter. I have a very skittish dog that was her best friend by the second day. I was not available so she sent a text to my husband every morning giving him a detailed update. I will definitely be using her again and again. 5 stars from this client.”

Rachel was wonderful! From the first initial meet to see the cats through every visit, she was incredible. She loved on them and treated them like her own! She was very responsive anytime I had a questions and left great notes and pictures during the week. I look forward to our next vacation when we can use her again. She did wonderful dealing with our grumpy old cay who needed insulin too so don't be hesitant if you have a pet that needs meds. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.
