About: I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and creating a calm, safe environment. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail so your pets feel secure and you feel confident while you’re away. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I naturally build it into my everyday routine. I make time each day for walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, and I’m available throughout the week and on weekends to keep pets happy, comfortable, and on their normal schedule. I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care as my own, creating a calm, secure environment for your pets. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines to home preferences—and make sure doors, gates, and safety measures are always properly secured. I’m attentive, dependable, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pets and home are in good hands.
“Caitlin took excellent care of our cats and dog while we were away and kept us updated the whole time! She gave some extra love to our anxious kitty and made some adjustments to make sure she was eating enough, too. I'd highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Dorothy always goes above and beyond! She seriously cares about our babies so I always feel they’re in the best hands when she’s here! Truly grateful to have her whenever I need to go away from home!”
“My Layla girl had a very stressful day; I was out of town and unable to get to her to cuddle her to bed and Nicole was great with her!! Took her on a walk, tucked her in, and spent the full 30 min taking care of my girl. Also very friendly and communicative!”
“Very friendly & pleasant. Prompt with responses, good communication. Sends pictures after each visit. We don't go away often, but we feel very comfortable knowing Amanda is watching after our two cats 🐾”
“Valerie is awesome, she’s very attentive and knowledgeable about dogs. Highly recommend her. She sent us pictures and even went so far as to observe their bowl movements to see how their health was while we were gone. I will be using her in the future whenever we travel!”
“Carly is wonderful. I would and have recommended her to all my pet owner friends/family. The piece of mind she gave us made our family vacation the best ever and my cats were in their home vs. a loud, chaotic boarding facility. Thank for taking such good care of our babies. Sincerely, Carrie & Josh”
“Zaylie was absolutely amazing with Philly! From the very first walk, it was clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She was reliable, communicative, and always kept me updated with photos and notes, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Philly came back happy, exercised, and clearly well taken care of every time. You can tell Zaylie takes pride in what she does and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I currently have a 60lb dog and cat in my home with my parter. I have experience fostering and caring for my family members and friends pets as well. I’m currently working full time with a flexible schedule. I’m off most weekends and available to care for pets in my home with full attention. I have a dog park at my gated condo with a dog wash station and very gentle and willing to take time to build trust and care for your pets.
“Can not say enough about how great Thomas is! We’ve used him a bunch of times at this point and never even consider looking for someone else. He takes the best photos and you can tell how much he cares.”
“Meaghan is great! I use her for drop in services for my two dogs (one adult and one puppy) when both my husband and I work schedules overlap. The dogs love her! She is great with communication as well!”
“DeAndre provides A+ service! Excellent communication, followed care instructions, provided updates and pictures, and I felt like my pet was safe and well cared for. I will definitely book services with him again, and recommend him to other pet owners.”
“Madeline was amazing! I've had a lot of Rover experiences and Madeline was by far the best! Right away, the dogs loved her and she has been so nice and communicative. She will definitely be our go to for our dog care.”

Meaghan is excellent! Consistent communication, quick to respond and very, very sweet. She did a great job checking on my 2 cats while I was gone for almost an entire week. Sent pictures every day and always checked in with me after her visit was done. If I ever need another sitter will 100% think of her first. Thank you Meaghan!!!
We were a bit nervous about leaving for a few days when Koko required some additional pampering during her visits. Fortunately, Bradley's messages let us know exactly how she was doing and put us at ease! He went above and beyond and we don't think she missed us a bit.
Jasmin agreed to watch our cats for two weeks while we went on vacation. I was quite nervous as it was our first time using rover and we have some finicky cats. I was very worried initially as i have a senior cat with some health issues and my other is very shy and quick to refuse food when stressed. She was very confident when we met her and when we introduced her to the cats both of them immediately took to her. This was a first for us as again my one cat has never been so friendly upon meeting someone for the first time but I genuinely believe it was because she has a fantastic personality and animal handling skills. For two weeks she was prompt and clear with her communication and took great photos that made me feel comfortable about my cats' condition. Of course, there were also funny moments she was able to capture which really put me at ease. She was able to identify their patterns of behavior and made notes on it. I appreciate her thoughtfulness on refilling their litter and water fountain. The most memorable thing she did for us was when we were delayed an extra day coming back for our vacation she was completely understanding and agreed to watch the cats on such extremely short notice. If I ever have to get a pet sitter again I know that she will be my first choice going forward. Thank you Jasmin!!
Courtney was fantastic! She put so much extra effort into taking care of our pets, even for a few days. Our animals can experience some anxiety, and Courtney did an amazing job providing them fun activities that she brought from home and understanding their behaviors as part of their care. We will absolutely be booking her again! ☺️
