“Christine is my go-to sitter, and I can always trust her to take amazing care of my cats while I’m away.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life I have lots of experience with larger breed dogs as well as smaller breeds. I’m particularly good with larger breeds but love all pets just the same. I love to teach dogs new tricks take them for jogs and absolutely adore play time. I believe in positive reinforcement for training and maintaining a calm demeanor. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend:) I work Monday-Friday 730am to 3:00pm and have weekends off. I’m more than happy to stop by before and after work and all day weekends. With my husband away in the military I have lots of free time and taking care of pets is a very fulfilling way to spend my time. I take pets on multiple walks a day to ensure proper mental stimulation I feel it is very important to make sure dogs are fulfilled to avoid destructive behavior. I believe positive reinforcement with treats rather than punishment is the best way to teach pets good habits.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for years, and I have a big adopted dog of my own—so I understand the energy, care, and patience larger breeds need, especially those with behavioral quirks. Whether your pup is shy, strong-willed, or full of energy, I provide calm, personalized care to make them feel safe and loved. Currently studying for a Cyber security self-paced course. My Schedule is very flexible from early morning to late afternoon. I also live in downtown so with closer area pups I can walk over no need to ask for parking! I care for pets and client homes with the same respect and attention I’d want for my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets safe and comfortable, and leave homes clean, secure, and just as I found them—or better. Communication and trust are always my priorities.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life -- both my own dogs and as the go-to sitter for friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors. Across my extensive time caring for dogs, I have gained experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am particularly good with nervous or timid dogs, and I am very comfortable with dogs who have special medical needs. Last year I had to say goodbye to my own greatly beloved dog after two years of very intense cancer care. While I am not ready for a new dog of my own yet, I am eager to shower other people's dogs with affection and care. I have a very flexible schedule and am available for dog care most days. On days listed as available, I am able to spend almost all of the time at home with the dog(s). I do not currently have any other animals in the home, and your dog will receive my full attention! I have a wide variety of dog beds for them to try out and toys for them to play with.
About: I’ve been caring for animals most my life. Prior to enlisting in the military I had a Pitt/Mastiff mix, so safe to say the larger breeds do not scare me. I’ve learned the bigger the dog the bigger baby they are lol. Im transitioning out of the Navy right now and my work schedule is very minimal! I’m available most afternoons and for any evening or overnight needs. My current residence does not accommodate pets but I am mobile for all of your in home needs! I find it best not to take the babies out of their environment if not necessary anyways (:
“David is a great man! He took care of my puppy like it was his own. My dog was recovering from a sickness and couldn’t be boarded(to protect other dogs). He had medication he was taking to help. David came and helped him through it! I am BEYOND grateful for the services that he provided. He sent plenty of photos and videos so that I can track my puppy’s progress. He was very communicative the entire time! Easily, my go-to sitter!! Highly recommend his services!”
About: I truly love dogs — they’re my favorite thing in the world! I've rescued several dogs from bad conditions, so I understand how to care for pups even with special needs, give medicine when needed, and be patient and gentle. I respect every dog's space and let them enjoy their walks at their own pace. I'm very attentive to details and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work from home, so I have open availability and plenty of time to take care of your dog with attention, love, patience and dedication. I’m happy to take care of dogs in their own home. I always follow their feeding, treats, and walking schedules exactly as instructed. I spend quality time with them — playing, brushing, giving gentle massages, and making sure they have fresh water at all times. I can also help with baths, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and flea checks.
“Sofya was an absolute joy! Such a wonderful communicator. I always felt like my kitty was taken care of. She stopped by earlier in the week to meet him, and he immediately trusted her! Would highly recommend Sofya to watch your pets.”
About: Hi, I’m Adam! I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up with two dogs who taught me early on how rewarding it is to care for pets. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with animals of all ages and temperaments, from energetic kittens to senior cats and dogs needing a gentler touch. I’ve personally cared for my cat who had chronic kidney disease, so I’m confident with giving medications, managing special diets, and recognizing subtle changes in health or behavior. Whether your pet needs playtime, a slow walk, or just quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I treat every animal like they’re my own and genuinely enjoy building trust and connection with each one I meet. I have a very open and flexible schedule right now, which means I can easily accommodate a wide range of needs, whether it’s daytime visits, evening care, or weekend stays. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. To clarify for overnight visits, the overnight rate includes me coming to your home in the evening, staying the night, and leaving in the morning (approximately 8 hrs total). If 24-hr coverage is desired, the rate will be $450/day. I believe a pet is most comfortable in the space they are familiar with, and to keep them comfortable I am happy to spend as much time with them as they need. Whether it's a few hours or overnight, I'm happy to cater to their needs.
About: I watch all my friends dogs and cats all the time. They love me and I love them. Many people call me a dog/cat whisperer. There's a secure calmness within me that I think they all connect and feel comfortable with. I'm currently working part time and from home so my schedule is pretty wide open. I will have plenty of time to spend with your pups(or cats etc). As long as it's ok with the owner, I generally take the dogs wherever I go. I hate leaving them alone unless absolutely necessary. Especially love walking them around town and taking them to the dog park. And cats I am very patient with, if needed and eventually they will approach me. If not needed, I will pet them all day:)
“What a wonderful experience! It was my first time using Rover, so I was nervous going in, but after our first meet & greet, I felt confident that my 3 cats would be in good hands with Jezreel. She provided detailed updates on each cat and was very communicative. My cats are on the shy side, and my girl Gizmo typically hides from all strangers, but she felt comfortable enough to come out when Jezreel was over. It was so heartwarming to receive the photo updates of my cats playing and looking happy. Thank you so much, Jezreel!”
About: As someone who has several furry family members, I understand how important it is to leave your pet in the care of someone you can trust. I love being able to fill that role as needed, whether it's while you're away at work or while you're away traveling. My pets love a predictable routine, so I recognize how important that can be for many pets. I find it really meaningful to help with maintaining your pets' routines as much as possible while you're away and unable to do so. I'm lucky enough to be completely remote with work and have a couple free hours throughout the day most days. I want to use those free hours in a productive/active way if possible, which is why I thought offering pet care might be a great way to make use of that time. I'll strive to do my best to meet your pets' feeding/play/walking needs whenever possible. I totally get the anxiety that can come with leaving your pets in the care of someone new. I also know it takes time to build trust and safety between pets and people that are new to them; I'll do my best to initially provide some extra time/availability to build this relationship with your pet/pets.
“Darya is amazing!! She is extremely responsive and receptive to tips to help my pups stay happy when I’m away! I know that they are well taken care of and would absolutely have her take care of the ladies again in the future.”
“Yena was awesome! She took such good care of my cats while I was away; sent me updates, pics, made sure they were comfortable, and just overall went above and beyond. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. Made being away way less stressful. Would definitely ask her again!”
“Jarrod was an awesome sitter. He was very adaptable and patient with my old girl. He went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and took good care of her while I was gone. Thanks Jarrod!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s a playful pup or a mellow senior, I’m all about making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with senior dogs-including my own, Plato! Experienced in giving medications and keeping up with their routines. I’m also happy to send updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! 😊 Since I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available throughout the day to care for pets. This means I can provide frequent walks, playtime, and lots of attention without feeling rushed. It also lets me easily adapt to your pet’s routine and needs to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. I have a comfortable apartment that’s pet-friendly and cozy for your furry friend. Plus, there’s a great park just across the street where we can enjoy walks, playtime, and fresh air. I make sure to keep the space safe and clean, and I’m happy to stick to your pet’s usual routine to keep them relaxed and happy while they’re with me.

Hillary O.
“Hillary adores dogs! She’s been known to travel with treats in her pocket for good doggos she meets in her neighborhood. As a sitter, she is conscientious and communicative. You’ll never have to worry about a dog in her care - they’ll be doted on throughout her stay.”
victoria w.
“I can’t say enough good things about Victoria! From the moment we met, it was clear she truly loves animals and knows how to care for them. Mars instantly took to her, which says a lot, since he can be a little shy with new people. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, pictures, and sweet messages that completely put my mind at ease. She followed all instructions perfectly, gave Mars plenty of exercise and cuddles, and even left my home clean and tidy. I came back to a very happy pup! I highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Will definitely book again!”

“Trustworthy, warm, dedicated. Fernanda is a sweetheart. She took care of both my babies Pearl and Breeze. They're both rescues so they have their trust issues, but they both loved her since they met her and felt comfortable around her during several evenings we had to leave them to her. I know she's done volunteer work in several dog shelters and she's your ultimately dog lover.”

Adam G.
“Adam has been watching my cats for the past several years, and I trust him completely! He is reliable, a great communicator (sends tons of photos and updates), and is very experienced with cats of all ages and health statuses. Adam is also especially good with senior cats. He is one of the few people who my cranky senior girl likes enough to come out of hiding for, and I'm always confident that she'll get plenty of love and attention when Adam is visiting her. He also has experience caring for cats with health issues and with medication administration, which gives me peace of mind when I'm away. I highly recommend Adam to anyone looking for a highly experienced and responsible cat sitter!”
Trevor s.
“Our dog, Max, had a great time with Trevor, He was very communicative and polite before and during the stay, and Max seemed very happy and comfortable with him..

“I couldn’t recommend Rose enough as a pet caregiver. I knew she had a heart for animals from the moment I met her. She treats every pet as her own - with such love and kindness. I would always feel so at ease leaving my pets in her care knowing that they’re well looked after and happy. Your pets will not just be taken care of, but they’ll truly be loved. Trusting someone with your pets feels almost impossible to find, until you meet someone like Rose! P.S. Mango and Blu love you, Rose!!”

She doesn’t just provide top-notch care; she’s also incredibly responsive! Knowing that Tank is in her capable hands makes all the difference. I can confidently say that she’s the only one I’d trust to take him on his adventures!”

Jessie is a fantastic cat sitter—we've hired her 5 times in the last two years. She communicates well, is punctual, and has a pleasant demeanor. She understands cat behavior, plays with our cat, and quickly got him active again. Jessie sends regular updates, adapts to changing instructions, and is highly reliable. We highly recommend her for anyone needing a caring sitter.
Amazing human being! Such a lifesaver I needed a sitter ASAP. He messaged back really quickly and confirmed! It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter and I was incredibly anxious, but he didn’t mind me being a helicopter dog parent! Thank you again:)
Alena did a great job watching our cat! She was super communicative and sent us great photos during her visits. Our cat is very shy but she was super accommodating and friendly and made sure to give him the space he needed! We felt reassured with our cat being in her care while we were away. We will definitely be re-booking with her!!! :)
Marcie is a true animal lover and did a great job again looking after our cats. The boys bonded with her pretty much instantaneously and were very happy to spend time with her. Marcie also administered medication to one of our cats, handled any mess they created, and left the house in a great shape. It was great to know our cats were well looked after and we look forward to working with Marcie again!
Princess is great with cats who have medical issues! My cat has asthma and needs an inhaler twice a day a day and she is great at doing it. She makes me feel safe and not worry when I’m away. Exactly what you want in a pet sitter. She even knows first aid, etc. Princess rocks!!!
Isa is wonderful! I’ve used her before through other services, and she’s always been amazing with my dog, Maggie. She’s reliable, caring, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure Maggie is happy and comfortable. It gives me such peace of mind knowing she’s in Isa’s hands. Highly recommend!
Lorenza helped take care of Kitty well my husband and I were away for a two week trip. I can tell my cat enjoyed her company. Lorenza seems to have lot of experience with cats and you can tell as my cat seem happy and healthy when we came back to great after our trip. I highly recommend this Rover. She was able to accommodate us last minute when our previous sitter had and emergency and we felt very comfortable with her.
Nancy came and checked on our cats for a couple days while we were out of town. She followed the instructions carefully and spent plenty of time playing with and giving them love. She also sent plenty of pictures which was much appreciated! I highly recommend her to watch your pets 😊
Lilly was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly friendly and took the time to visit our home and get to know our cat before the booking. She was very attentive, gentle, and made sure our cat felt safe and comfortable. We really appreciated her thoughtful updates.
