“Alayne is awesome. She is extremely professional and went the extra mile to assist me my first time using Rover. She sent pictures during every visit and took time to actually play with my furry boy. I would love to enlist her services in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of Whitten!!”


“This was my first time using Rover, and I was able to read about and select a caregiver suited for my needs. Liz and her daughter were awesome. Came in advance to meet the pets, asked the right questions and were professional. As far as theactual service, Liz told me exactly when she came, what was happening with my pets and took some great photos. I would definitely use Liz again!!!”
“Robin is always pleasant, professional, and efficient. She gives loving, attentive care to my two cats every time she sits for me. She’s been a stable presence for my girls while I’m away and they love her. My home is always in good shape when I return. I highly recommend Robin.”

About: I’ve always been a huge dog person! I’ve trained both of my dogs as well as my family dogs from my childhood! We went through all the ups and downs of owning different breeds. From Puppy stage sickness to senior dog issues I’ve experienced most of it all. We have a close knit Church family and I advertise dog sitting and I have been doing dog sitting/walking for several families with young dogs and senior dogs. Each dog and family is different and I’m very capable to adapt my care to each individual dogs needs and behavior. I can walk,feed,play,and even bathe each of our doggie guests during their stay with us or in their own home. I provide as much care and attention they would need due to my 24/7 Home schedule. And since I work remote, I can easily adjust my Small Business hours to fit with your personal schedule preferences! I run a small Art business from my home! And I can easily work remote if I need to. I that means I have most of the week to provide care and attention to your pet! We only reserve Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings for our church services. While I’m in a clients home, I’m sure to clean up after your pet as well as myself. I’m respectful of personal space and respect the mantra “my house my rules” so any set guidelines you may have for your pet and your home will be followed to the letter!

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was little and have experience with dogs, cats, and birds. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to look after their pets, and I take pride in providing attentive and loving care. I enjoy making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and well-cared for while their owners are away. I’m in school and get out around noon, and I work part-time on weekends. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care—they’ll be happy, safe, and well-looked after while you’re away. Safety and trust come first. I’m clean, organized, and respectful of your home—you’ll come back to it just as you left it. Your dogs will get plenty of exercise on walks and lots of attention and affection while staying comfortable and happy at home.
About: I grew up having dogs and taking care of them. I also have 3 pups of my own that’s I’ve worked to train and care for for the last 4 years. I will care for your pet as my own and make sure they’re comfortable and safe while in my care. I currently work full time at Raising Canes and am looking for something to fill my time that I enjoy. I am very flexible and am able to work around your schedule to be able to meet your pets needs. I always make sure to supervise so I know they are safe and also make sure they don’t get into things they aren’t supposed to but overall ensuring they have a safe and clean place to relax and hangout.

“Very very very good service overall. Extremely trustworthy and showed up exactly when she said she would. Returned to very happy pets. Only request would be a little more attention spent to keeping the floors cleaned as discussed. Would absolutely book again in a heartbeat!”

“We had such an amazing experience having Caitlin watch our two dogs while we were away! She was incredibly detail-oriented, attentive, and thoughtful throughout our entire trip. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We especially appreciated how frequently she sent updates, photos, and little check-ins. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing exactly how our pups were doing while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs made it obvious how wonderful of a sitter she was. We would absolutely trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, communicative, and genuinely invested in their pets. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”

“Alyssa did a great job checking on my dog. She included plenty of photos and updates during each visit. I had to modify the trip a couple times and Alyssa was very easy to work with.”

About: I’ve been a dog whisperer since I was a child. I have had dogs (one or two at a time) my whole life. We lost our last dog last year and don’t want the long term commitment of a new dog at this stage in our lives, but would love to take care of other people’s dogs. It is just myself and my husband in our household. I work from home part-time and if there are days that I would be showing property (realtor) I would not schedule a Rover sitting job. Also, I babysit a small child every Wednesday and Thursday. I have a fully fenced yard and no other dogs. I have no problem having dogs stay inside my home. I am happy to go to the client’s home as well.
About: I've taken care of them all, big and small! I offer personalized attention to suit each dog's unique personality and needs. My goal is to ensure your dog feels happy, loved, and safe while you're away. I always offer photo/video updates to keep the owner at ease! I currently work full time but I have evenings off and Fridays and Saturdays! Drop-in visits and walks are certainly doable, and I will always make time on weekends. I would prefer the pets to be in their own home where they are comfortable, as I live in a one bedroom apartment with my own animals.
About: I’ve been housesitting and petsitting family and friend’s animals for about 10 years now and would love to assist in making sure your pets are well taken care of while you’re gone :) I’m currently working part time throughout the week, therefore my schedule is open and available 7 days per week to assist in any way I can. I have experience working with pets that are crated, not crated, puppies, adults, require a fenced in backyard, walk on a leash, etc. in order to be prepared for any furry friend I may run into :)
“I was in the VA hospital and Riley came up there to get my keys and go back to where my house was about 45 min from the hospital. She took care of there litter and food, water issues when my friend that was suppose to do it failed to show up. I thank Riley for doing this and taking care of my fur babies!”

About: I’ve had pets for nearly 30 years. I have always believed they are a special part of the family. Over the years I have bathed them, administered meds, provided walks and a lot of belly rubs. I would love for you to know that your beloved pet is well cared for while you are away. I am currently working part time/ per diem so I have a flexible schedule. Unfortunately my husband and I lost our own fur baby a year ago. We have been doing some traveling but when I am in Tucson I miss those four-legged friends. We recently moved and our new home is not appropriate for dogs because of remodeling. I would care for your pet in your home and follow the directions given to me in each individual situation. I feel that pets feel most comfortable in their own home and with as close to normal routine as possible.

“Kristin does a fantastic job taking care of our two pugs while we are away, very great with managing them, always responsive, and takes great care of our home when needed. Highly recommend Kristin”
About: I've had all sorts of pets my entire life, but almost always at least one dog. I spent years volunteering at a pet store in high school. I also have a degree in Biology, focusing on animal behavior and wildlife science. I spent a great year after college volunteering at a dog rescue. I have a very flexible work-from-home job. I have one set meeting everyday, but am almost always available to step out and take care of anything that I need to. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door. I have two dogs with very different personalities; one is happy and playful, the other is older and just likes to relax. They've made me good at meeting different pets' needs. I always try to make them feel happy, safe, and loved!

Allie was amazing with my three dogs. She took great care and spent time with each dog. Allie was prompt, communicative, and very well experienced. I could tell from the pics and videos that she sent. Thank you Allie! We will definitely book again! I highly recommend Allie for anyone looking for a pet sitter!

I am extremely pleased by the excellent service the Lisandra provided in caring for my dog while I was out of town. She went above and beyond expectations with the drop in visits that she provided for my dog Nala. She not only fed her and took her out for potty breaks but also walked her and spent time playing with her during her visits. She was also very punctual and had great communication. She always let me know when she was here to take care of Nala and communicated when she was going to be a few minutes late. She put my mind at ease while I was away knowing that Nala was well taken care of. Thank you Lisandra, I'm so glad to have had you to care for Nala while I was gone.

Julia is the best! I was so worried to use rover initially because I am very protective of my kitties, but now I can enjoy being away without hesitation. She is very attentive and even our most shy cat has warmed up to her. Would highly recommend Julia to anyone!

Lia and Alexzander were so great with our cat Grace. She normally does not like most people but I have lots of photos of them petting her and brushing her, so she obviously became very comfortable with them. They were awesome to do the things we needed done and faithfully communicated and sent us photos. I would very highly recommend them!
