About: I have over six years of veterinary assistant experience. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different sizes, ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable with large dogs and pets who need a little extra patience. My veterinary background has taught me to pay close attention to pets behavior, comfort and needs. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish. I have a flexible schedule right now, so I have time for walks, playtime, or just relaxing with your pets and keeping them company. Caring for my own pet is already part of my daily life and I’ll bring that safe attention and care to yours. As of right now I’m just offering walks, going to clients homes, no overnights at this time unless told otherwise. I’ll respect your home, watch for any changes in your pet’s behavior and keep you updated during my visits.
About: Hi everyone my name is Angie and I may be new to Rover but I am not new to loving and caring for precious pups. I currently don't have any dogs living with me but prior to July 2025 I had my own fur babies since 1992. I decided this would be a wonderful way for me to get some puppy love, bring peace of mind to traveling pet parents, and make some money while providing a loving service. I have taken care of many of my friends pups along the way. Saki, Sophie, Sushi, Bodhi, Lucy, and Honey. I also occasionally foster dogs to help my friend's rescue. I would love to meet and care for your babies. My home is a safe and loving space for pups to play and have their "stay-cation"!! I work from home and will be available to be with the pet pretty much all day. Consistent time outdoors will be provided weather permitting. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play or grab that nice patch of sunshine to nap in. I maintain a clean and calm environment.
About: I have ample experience caring for other families dogs, as well as my own three who have now passed. I have been a trusted caregiver for pets for over 10 years, including overnight stays and drop-ins. I will care for your dog/cat as if they are my own family’s pets. I am currently working remotel after graduating College, so pet-sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I have a fully open schedule, and am ready to care for your sweet fur babies! I care for pets in my home, or a clients home, the way that I would care for my own pets. This care is full of love, compassion, energy and excitement.
About: I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, each one of them are rescues and required a lot of time and patience. I’m experienced in dog trading as well as administering medication. It helps me stay active as well as helps gain more experience with animals. I work from home so it helps me get my daily vitamin d . I’ve personally crate trained my dogs, it’s helped me monitor them while I’m not home. I like to take them on long walks and have play dates to get their energy out as well as stimulate their mind.
“Lipika was the greatest. What piece of mind I had on my trip. This service is so worth it. The pictures and comment go a long way. Last time I asked a friend and I didn’t feel the care that Lipika had. Thank you for great people like her and I will book again for my upcoming trip in June and September!”
“Birgitta made all visits including checking robot litter box, auto feeders, and water. She kept close contact and provided status updates on the rover.com app. We arrived home early and was able to help with the final 8th day feeding without issues. The cat looked great. Thanks for taking good care for 'Nile.'”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been a normal and important part of my life. Growing up with dogs has taught me how much responsibility goes into caring for an animal and how every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Throughout my life, I’ve been responsible for feeding, giving fresh water, taking dogs outside, going on walks, playing with them, keeping them safe, and making sure they are comfortable and cared for. I understand that pet care is more than just spending time with an animal, it means paying attention to their behavior, following their routine, and making sure they are happy and healthy. I would treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your pet, so I want owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, loved, and getting plenty of attention while they’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind. My availability can vary from week to week because I work on weekends, so I do need some advance notice to make sure I can set aside the right amount of time for your pet. Tuesday–Thursday: I’m generally available after 4:30 PM. Monday & Friday: Available Saturday & Sunday: I work, but my hours fluctuate each week. I may still have availability depending on my work schedule, so please reach out ahead of time and I’ll do my best to accommodate you. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and work around your pet’s schedule whenever possible. I want to make sure I can give your pet my full attention and provide reliable care. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have a nice, grassy backyard with plenty of open space where dogs can play, get some fresh air, and have a safe place to go potty. I also live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood that is great for walks and getting some extra exercise. If your dog is not comfortable around other dogs, I have a fence separating an open side yard from our regular backyard and can be used to separate as needed. Because I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, I understand how important it is to create a calm and comfortable environment for them. I’ll always make sure gates and doors are secure, keep a close eye on pets while they’re outside, and follow each owner’s instructions and their dog’s normal routine. My goal is for owners to feel confident that their dog is being cared for in a safe, loving environment while they’re away.
“Eva went above and beyond with taking care of Murph while away — checked in thoroughly and took many pictures to make me miss her less. Couldn’t ask for more with her as a sitter!”
About: I have been doing this since I was in high school. Plenty of references outside of rover if needed! If I say I’ll be there, I’ll be there. No last minute cancellations. Your member of the family will be well taken care of by someone who enjoys spending time with them while you’re gone. I will treat them as if they are my own. Apologies in advance if they fall in love with me! I am a full time youth soccer coach. My schedule during the day is open. Evenings are when I’m busy with the kids. Weekends I’m flexible. I have the perfect schedule to help you with your needs. I’m extremely clean and well organized. I communicate very clearly. I want you to feel comfortable and know your member of the family is in safe hands. Once you meet me in person you’ll pick up on who I am as a person and maybe we will become friends!
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, including my own and others! I currently have no pets, so I have the time and space to care for yours :) I mostly have experience with dogs, young/old/big/small, but I am open to sitting for other pets as well. Although I don’t have formal training experience, I do enjoy taking time to teach dogs tricks/commands you maybe working on. Majority of my camera roll is my family dog and dogs I see out and about, so you will receive plenty of pics of your happy pet :) I work 3 days a week, so I plan on doing this on my days off when I have the whole day available for your pet! I do not have a set schedule, but I will be sure to update ASAP. I do live in an apartment complex that includes an outdoor dog area that is available for playtime or potty breaks. I also love taking dogs for walks at the beach, parks, or trails!
About: I've grown up with dogs and other pets my whole life, I've been a pet sitter for friends and family and always ensured the pet was safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, elderly dogs, small pets, and large ones! I have full availability on weekends along with weekdays, though on Mondays I attend one college class from 5-10pm. Besides that I can work with your schedule! I have 1 friendly small dog, Stormy who loves playing and being around other pets. We go on multiple walks/potty breaks a day. I have a small fenced area in the back pets are allowed to go. I have plenty of treats and toys and pets have full ability to roam around the home!
“Kyle was so good with our 12 week old puppy by the end of his second drop in for the day they became friends already! He send us many pictures and updates. This was our first time leaving our puppy so all the updates and pictures were very helpful. We will be booking his services again.”
About: The personalized schedule I keep for pets I’m sitting will always be unique to their personality. I have adapted and taken dogs to the gym with me, runs on the beach, driven to hike trails and will always go above and beyond for our furry companions. I will absolutely read to your pets if they are used to having you speak to them constantly. (I love talking out loud to our furry friends) I’m pretty flexible on the weekends and during the week standard availability is 5p and on. I am available for morning drop ins as I make my schedule in my Corp. job. Yes I will absolutely also chat up your house plants too. I constantly send photo updates and will always answer a text within 5-10 minutes. I try to honor any established schedule your pets might have and try to enhance their activities to distract them from your absence whether that be from long days at work or even an out of town trip.
About: I take pride in the trust that friends and family have place in me. I will take care of them like my own. Your home will be respected and cared for. I have cared for special needs pets. I work from home as an RN. This gives me a lot of flexibility. I go for walks at least daily. Having a dog (or cat) to walk with encourages me. I love animals. I always try to follow the pet's normal routine closely. I understand the importance of keeping pet's as stress free as possible when their humans are away. I will care for them and your home with kindness and respect.
“Jordan was absolutely great with our kitty! She is very responsive, thorough in her updates, and very positive. We really appreciated her videos and photos and were so glad that our little guy was being so well taken care of and having some great playtime for a few days while we were away! She also brought in our packages that arrived while we were out which was very kind. We’d absolutely recommend her for catsitting anytime! Thanks again, Jordan! 😊”

Aileen did a tremendous job coming over twice a day to visit and walk my dog Franklin. It was his first time staying “home alone” and she helped make it a complete success. Pictures from each visit were a comfort as I could see how happy he was with her. Thanks so much for
Lipika was prompt and courteous, took notes when we had our initial meeting, was very communicative, and went above and beyond doing a bit of pet cleanup and grabbing our packages when she visited. Will definitely reach out to her for our next vacation and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!
Christine was wonderful to work with and did an awesome job caring for my dog Jones. She is responsive, tried to accommodate shifts in the schedule if they happened, and her report cards and pictures made me feel like my dog was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Christine to anyone looking for some help with their furry friends!
Lindsey is the best! She is always available, reliable, and great with communication. She was able to take care of my cat when I missed my flight and offered to see her more often than I requested as a wedding gift 💝 truly a gem !! She will go above and beyond for your fur baby. Highly recommend.
Sofia rocks! This is our second time having Sofia watch our kitties. She totally helped us out with a last minute care need and she even helped reset our router during the trip when we have wifi troubles and stayed through meal time to make sure the feeders were back up. Thank you again!!
