About: Nine years caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, providing structured walks, playtime, feeding, medication support, and lots of patient, loving attention. I treat your pets as my own. I’m a college student and love pet sitting. My schedule is very flexible, so I can spend quality time caring for and playing with pets. I’m open to negotiation on both rates and hours. I offer in-home care only, since I live with others. Services include overnight stays, walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, giving your pets attention in their own home.

Kyra took good care of my pups and cat while I was away one weekend. I was super nervous, it was my first time having someone dog sit. She let me know when she got there, how the dogs were, and gave me continuous updates. We will definitely use her again. Thank you for everything Kyra 🖤

Eva was really great with my sweet piranha. she id a little reactive and nervous with new people, but she immediately took to Eva. We had some communication issues in the beginning, but after some chatting, we were able to resolve everything and she was even able to extend her time with piranha at the end of the booking when my flight was canceled so her flexibility is unmatched. I will 100% book with her again!

Des is always there when I need her - extremely loving and professional. Onyx trusts her so much and he’s always happy with her! I never have to worry about leaving my boy in her care. She will always be my go-to. If you’re looking for a sitter for your fur baby, she is definitely the one. Thank you Des 💗

This is my first time trusting someone to care for Blu. Amanda exceeded ALL of my expectations. I believe that dogs can sense souls of people that they meet, and Blu ADORED Amanda! She was so gentle and sweet with him. She was attentive to his needs and asked plenty of questions about the care she needed to provide. She sent frequent check-ins and pictures. If you want the best in care for your pup, she is your first choice! 10 stars! Thank you Amanda!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young. I am a dog mom of 3 and ready to share the love. I house trained my pups and taught them fun tricks. I even make them special treats because they deserve the best. I work full-time M-F however I have access to my home throughout the day, every 2 hours and I am available on the weekends. I also have a significant other that will be around to assist with care when needed. Your fur baby will be in great hands with us. My pets are my children, I care for them with love always. I will provide that same care for your fur baby as well. I have a large yard for your fur babies to do zoomies. I take my dogs to the dog park biweekly and I’d be more than happy to have your pups join. Any instructions or special situations you request for your fur baby will always be followed and never judged or neglected. We are an animal loving home and will treat your fur babies as if they are our own when they are with us.

Tory was such a great dog sitter for us. I have two dogs, one of which can be funny with new people. He instantly warmed to Tory, and was her shadow for the duration of the time away. She was super communicative, and had such a warm personality. I felt comfortable either way her instantly.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I have experience caring for a wide variety of pets. I currently have three cats of my own, including one that I rescued and bottle-fed from just two weeks old. Raising a kitten from such a young age taught me the importance of patience, attention to detail, and understanding the unique needs of animals at different stages of life. I grew up around both large and small dogs and am comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have provided dog and cat sitting services for friends, family, and pet owners, including drop-in visits and overnight stays. I understand how important it is for pets to maintain their routines and feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My experience extends beyond dogs and cats as well. I have cared for ferrets, sugar gliders, fish, and turtles, giving me confidence in following specialized care instructions and meeting the needs of a variety of animals. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, feeding, medication reminders, companionship, or simply a caring and dependable presence, I am committed to providing the same level of love and attention that I give my own pets I currently work a full-time schedule four days per week from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I am off on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, which allows me to provide flexible availability for pet care during those days. On my workdays, I am typically available for morning drop-in visits before 7:00 AM and evening visits after 6:00 PM. On my days off, I have full availability for drop-in visits, extended care, overnight stays, and more flexible scheduling to best meet your pet’s needs. I am committed to working with pet owners to find a schedule that ensures consistent, reliable care and keeps pets comfortable and supported while their owners are away. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I believe this helps reduce stress and anxiety, especially for cats and other animals that are sensitive to change. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and respect for both the pet and the home. I follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions exactly as provided and take time to understand each pet’s specific needs, personality, and boundaries. I make sure doors, windows, and any potential escape points are secure during each visit, and I carefully monitor pets during playtime and interaction. I also keep the home tidy by cleaning litter boxes, food areas, and any pet-related messes as needed. During overnight stays or extended care, I maintain a calm and consistent presence to help pets feel safe and relaxed. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care while treating every pet and home with the same level of respect and responsibility as I would my own.

This was our first time using Rover and Gisselle was great! We really appreciated the photos and videos she sent while we were gone as this was our first time leaving our puppy and cat with someone for a long time. Will be using her again!

About: Hi! I grew up in a big family that always had cats and dogs around, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life from the start. I’m responsible and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality! From the bubbly ones to those who take longer to open up, I believe every animal deserves empathy, patience, and a loving environment. I’d love to be a fill-in to help make your pet feel comfortable and cared for when you’re unable to be there. I’m working part-time, so I have a conveniently flexible schedule and would love to work with you to accommodate your needs. I’d love to meet you in the way that works best for you. I understand pets are precious to those who love them, and it’s an honor to watch yours! Safety is a number one priority, and all communicated concerns will be closely monitored. I am happy to double-check locking the gate, to feed pets separately if necessary, or to meet whatever requests you may have.

Josue’s calm and gentle demeanor was perfect for our shy cat, he gave her the space she needed while still making her feel safe and cared for. We loved the daily video updates and felt completely confident Sunshine was in good hands, and would absolutely recommend Josue.

If you’re a short reader: BOOK JOSUÉ YOU WONT REGRET IT. For those who want the details: We have 2 senior dogs and a 1 year old cat. All three of them are truly my children and have never been left with a stranger. After booking a week long cruise with family, we were left to utilize Rover. Who knew after booking Josué, we would not only find someone our pets adored but someone that we adored too! We got daily silly videos and updates, he even stopped by to meet us beforehand to calm my nerves. He took great care of everyone and our home! He even organized my freezer (thanks Josué)! We will continue to book Josué anytime we need any pet sitting, but most importantly he left as a friend! Thank you for being such a sweet kind pet lover Josué! The world needs more light like you. See you soon!
