About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since childhood and have been trusted by neighbors and family friends/members to care for their pets. I love animals and will use any excuse to hangout with furry friends! I am in college and have ample time in the mornings, nights, and between classes to care for your pets! I can provide your dog relaxing exercise to more high intensity, such as running. I understand everyone has their own system for their pets and I will follow and respect those specifics when I care for your dog or cat

About: I have 14 years of pet care experience starting at age 9 when I earned my own dog and still love and care for him today! In the covid era, I was in high school and I raised and cared for a Bernese Mountain Dog Puppy alongside my family! In college, I actively foster through Lost Our Home Animal Shelter where I care for dogs and cats in my home until their owners are well enough to take them back! I am a part time student and part time worker! I will be able to care for your furry friends Tuesdays-Sundays! I have class from 1:30-2:45 pm on Tuesday and Wednesday and work sporadically through the rest of the week! I accept day of bookings so reach out for me for detailed availability as mine changes weekly! I currently live in a high rise apartment therefore I feel it is best to only foster cats at the moment! I tend the needs of the cat based of the specific cat, for example, my current foster cat is only comfortable in my room. Therefore, I keep her food, water, and litter box in my room so that she feels comfortable doing all those things in a safe space! My past foster dogs have all been large breed so I lowered my bed so they could easily jump up and snuggle with me. I ensured to walk them mornings and nights with playtime and potty in between as needed! In the summertime we only walk before the sun rises and after the sun sets to ensure the pets safety! I ensure all my animals have food that they enjoy, fresh water, a safe space to rest, toys, and an accessible and clean potty area! Feel free to reach out with any specific questions

“We were so lucky to have found Diana for our 2.5 week trip abroad. After our initial meeting, before we left, I was certain our cats were in good hands. She only exceeded our expectations after she began visiting our home, providing pictures, video, and thorough descriptions of the status of our cats. All instructions were followed, and like clockwork, her periodic visits left us reassured that we could enjoy our vacation and not worry about anything happening back home. Thank you so much, Diana, for honoring our trust and taking care of our kitties! You rock!!!”


“Kaitlyn was soo great with my cat gang! They loved her and were so at ease on our trip! She was knowledgeable, on time and detail oriented, all the best traits of an AWESOME cat professional!!!! Would recommend her to anyone and we will rebook nezt time we have to leave the gang in safe hands! 5 stars!!!”


About: I’ve head pets for as long as i can remember and I've Dogs specifically since 2012. Im a super huge dog person and have dog/house sit for my own pets and for others. Im currently a full-time student at ASU and will be available at random but likely will be available on weekends and Wednesday and Friday. But for the most part i will make myself available at random. I am currently living in a small apartment near campus and don’t pet supplies at my own home. But i can get some if necessary. And if they were to stay at my place i have two roommates who don’t mind dogs in the slightest and no pets.

About: I currently have 1 dog, and have had a total 11 pets (including cats, hermit crabs, hedgehog, dogs, and a horse). I truly love all animals (just can't handle snakes). For any animal I would walk miles to help (humans ehhhh). Rather you need help walking, feeding, bathing, snuggling, exercising, mentally enrichments, and/or training, I got you covered. I am available anytime and work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pet. Let me know what schedule works best for you! I treat all pets with care and like if they were my very own fur baby. I will handle the animal based on his/her's personality and the clients preference. Client's home will be the exact same as when they left.

About: I grew up on a small farm outside of Phoenix. There we raised everything from chickens to milk goats! It was an experience that shaped my relationship with animals. I’ve taken care of EVERY (and I mean every) type of pet you can think of. From old pot bellied pigs to hyper puppies, I’m well experienced with animals. I’ve also worked on farms in Italy, New York, and Washington which exposed me to learning new routines quickly. Happy to work with you and ensure your pet is cared for! They are special parts of our lives and should enjoy as much live and respect as possible. I have a full-time job and work in Tempe Monday-Wednesday. Thursday and Friday I am remote. The weekends I have no set commitments. Happy to care for your pet on the days I work in-person if you’re comfortable with it. This depends on the needs of your animal. I will only care for the animal if it’s at its home. I will respect your space and follow all provided instructions.

“Mel was AMAZING!! This is the first time using Rover/Mel and I was so happy to come home and find Bella relaxed and happy like I had never left. Mel has a real talent with animals and I have already booked additional visits knowing that my loved one will be well taken care of”


About: I have had dogs since I was 7 and I have had my own since high school (a sort of mix of everything!) his name is Charlie! I love the outdoors and taking dogs on walks and just letting them live their best life! Friends, family and more have trusted me to take care of their dogs and even service animals! Dogs are our best friends and I can make a promise to treat your dog as if they were my own. I work from remote home and train for rugby so I have a lot of free time and love being active. I recently graduated from ASU and work remote for professional rugby while also training for rugby. I have a lot of free time and love being active. Because of my schedule I can work from anywhere at any time! I love walking and know what dogs need on their walks! Weather that be taking it slower for more senior dogs or letting them explore all types of things. I also am comfortable with crate training as well as playing in the backyard (fetch, frisbee you name it!) Anything to make you and your dog feel comfortable and safe!

“Amazing pet sitter!! She was great with my cat. She’s comfortable around animals, knows how to approach/ treat them, and is thorough with her visits. 10/10 recommend!”


About: In recent years friends and family have started requesting my help with taking care of their pets, and I did not expect to fall in love with it as much as I did. I have always grown up having dogs in my house. Currently I have a 13-year-old pit bull mix we got as a puppy from Austin Pets Alive who has extreme cataracts, so I have first-hand experience with aging dogs and their specific needs. Booking clients (and their owners ;) ) on Rover is truly a dream job for me! I am currently not working and not in school, so I am able to make Rover a full time job! I have a pretty flexible schedule, but as mentioned would appreciate at least a 2 day notice in advance for scheduling purposes. I have always taken looking after pets very seriously. Since this is a job I have such a strong passion for, I can ensure your home and your pet will be in the best hands. In previous dog sitting experiences, I have kept the owner updated through constant communication as well as photo updates. I understand trust means everything when hiring someone in general but especially off an app - I use an app called Bambino to get hired for babysitting gigs, so I understand the trust people give to me should not be taken lightly, when taking care of human babies or fur-babies!
