“Kyla was wonderful and responsive and her photos showed how comfortable the cats were with her. She gave meds, did eye ointments and provided excellent care. We highly recommend her.”
About: I have watched dogs of all ages from puppies to a 10 year old. Even though I don't have any formal training I can teach commands and potty training. I work part time in the evenings when my husband is home. I do leave during the day at times for 2 hours at the most for appointments for my kids. I love to stay busy and can help as many hours as you need. I live in an apartment but I do have 4 dogs, 3 cats and a gecko. My pets are a little rowdy at times but they all get along well even the cats.
“Bailee took care of my 3 cats and 1 dog for 8 days and was amazing the whole time. She was dependable, caring, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My pets were happy, comfortable, and very well taken care of when I got home. I could tell they got a lot of attention and love. I would absolutely have Bailee watch my pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: I have had pets all my life and love every minute spent with animals. I have helped on farms and helped with small pets as well. I am currently employed and a college student but need small jobs on my days off. And pet sitting and care is something I'm very passionate about. I will gain your pets love and trust first that too me is the most important part of caring for pets. I can walk them, play with them and much more. I follow all rules and guidelines provided by the owners.
“Ann took care of our dogs over the weekend. We had great communication from her, she was timely and my house looked the way it did when we left. She came and meet the dogs before hand and they loved her! Thank you!!!”
About: Besides the usual watching friends and families pets, I have had experience raising and caring for a kitten right from birth. I am very enthusiastic and catering towards all pet needs I currently work part time, leaving lots of time to spend taking care of your furry friends! Even when at work, I have a flexible schedule allowing me lots of time for extra attention As a pet watcher, they are my first priority. Both their safety and general wellbeing are put first and I aim to keep them as happy as you do!
“Samantha was amazing with my babies! She would ensure that they got daily exercise either by taking them out for walks and even going to the dog park. I booked the service where she stayed in my home and the house was super clean when I got back. She fed my dogs on time and kept me up to date on what they were doing and I got plenty of pictures of them! I hope to book her again my dogs loved her!”
“Kaitlynn, was very nice and sweet to our ederly black lab Jessie. She did an incredible job and went above and beyond giving her lots of special care and assistance while house/dog sitting for us. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover.”
“Alyssa was so wonderful! We needed a dog sitter last minute for a trip and she went above and beyond with taking them on walks and watching them for us while we were gone. She checked in and didn't hesitate to reach out with questions and updates!”
About: I have been with animals my whole life. Though not certified, I have trained dogs to heard cows. I’ve also helped them with extreme behavioral issues. I love understanding a dog’s body language. To out it simply I know how to act around most dogs. I have also helped my family take care of puppies! I work a job at a day care center Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I am able to let dogs out for a quick potty break around 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. I may leave for an hour or two during the weekend to meet up with my family, but never more than that if I am house sitting. I do my best to not only respect and love the animals of the home, but also your home itself. I will do my best to keep everything clean and leave it the way I found it. I am more than happy to meet an odd or long requests and instructions if they are written down for me!
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I have had mostly dogs. My kids are also very animal oriented. I have cared for praying mantis, hermit crabs, tortoises, cocktail, hamsters, cats, dogs, bunny. These are most of the pets I have cared for. Walking them, helping groom them feeding them and spending time with them. I have trained both my cat and my dog many commands. They both know sit, speak, the dog knows shake and can switch, the cat is learning. I just enjoy being around animals. If I could I would have many more, but that is why I am here, so I can visit with other animals. I am currently not working and just enjoy spreading time with my older kids and my pets. I have time on my hands and want to be with animals so I am doing this and lining into volunteer opportunities with the local shelters Right now because I have pets at home I would be willing to come to your home and take care of your animals. When my husband is home i would be willing to do overnights if needed
About: Equally a cat and dog person. I love connecting with animals and giving them care. Always up for dog walks or a trip to the park. I currently work part time as a contractor doing website work, so i have plenty of flexibility and time for pet care and dog walks I show pets plenty of attention and pay close attention to safety concerns. They don't leave my site (or leash) if we're outside.
“Kysa was amazing! I highly recommend her. She stayed at our house and watched our two dogs. They were well taken care of and my house was left spotless. 10/10, I'd use her again!”
“Jessica was great with our dog! She sent updates frequently throughout the visit and Wrigley had a great time! We are always so sad when we have to leave him, but felt really comfortable leaving him with Jessica.”

Iona pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ann took great care of our dogs while we were away. It was much less stressful for them to be able to stay home and have someone come to them, as opposed to going to someone else's house. The dogs just loved her right away and we knew they'd be in great hands.
Kyla was wonderful -- and our dogs loved her too! She communicated with us often and took the dogs on a walk. She was also one of the only sitters we've had that cleaned up before we got home so we didn't have anything extra to do -- really appreciated. We recommend her highly!
