“Bridget did great with our cats while we were out of town. She cleaned up their messes and gave our older cat her meds every day. Her communication was great, and I got pics every day! Will definitely use her again!”

“Alexis was great! Super communicative, on time, and kept me updated with lots of photos throughout the stay. It was such a relief knowing my pet was in good hands. Would definitely book again!”


About: I have been around pets all my life and currently care for two cats, though I am a dog lover. I have pet sat for friends and family in the past and am new to doing this on this app, but trust me, your furbabies will love me :D Currently I have an open schedule to fit your needs! Starting school again soon, but currently available any time and day you might need me! I make sure that my furry friends have enough enrichment to keep them stimulated, mixed in with a lot of love and relaxation. Tell me any special requests, feeding schedules, or preferences for you babies and I will follow!
“Love having Danna watch my dogs while I’m out of town!!! She is always so responsive and prompt. Send lots of updates and pictures to insure you are comfortable with her services!! Thank you for all you do for us Danna!!”

“Bayleigh is fantastic! She is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will absolutely be having her care for Remi again. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that Remi is well cared for. Remi loves everybody, but he really took to Bayleigh, probably because of her calm and kind manner with him.”

“She is very personable,loved our dogs and took great care of them. Our dogs have special needs and she took great care to meet each one of them every time she came to our home. I highly recommend her and will look forward to getting her to care for our doggies in the future.😊”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from farm animals to household pets, big and small, healthy and sick. Saying I love being around animals would honestly be an understatement! Over the years, I’ve helped care for ducks, horses, hamsters, rabbits, dogs, and more on a daily basis. I grew up with my own pup, Klare, and spent years taking her on daily walks and activities to help her burn off all that pit bull energy. Currently, I help care for a Pomeranian, a Wirehaired Pointer, and a Pit Bull mix, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and strengths, and I’m very attentive to animal behavior and body language to help keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or overnight care, I will treat them like they’re my own. I’d love the opportunity to walk, care for, or pet sit your furry family member! ❤️🐾 I am a full time student with a rotating clinical schedule, but I have availability throughout the week and on weekends. I keep a flexible schedule and am happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs. 🐶🐾❤️ Im very respectful of one’s accommodations and requirements. I take full responsibility to leave you happy and worry free with everything your pet needs. Need an update? A picture of ur pet on the walk or while you’re gone? I got you! I can apply myself to any tasks needed.
About: My house is the vacation home for my dog nephew, age 8 and dog niece, age 6 months. I love being the fun aunt and giving special care while they can't be with their paw-rents. Can't wait to help with your fur babies. I work from home flexibly so I have plenty of time to care for your pup. My days are mine to schedule as I please so your pup will have plenty of attention. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space for your pets to hang out. I live in a great neighborhood that has a sidewalk perfect for walks.
About: Ever since the age of 10 I’ve had responsibilities for our pets; taking them out to potty, playing/exercising, cleaning up any accidents, making sure they have food and water, and bathing. I would be happy to take care of and love on your babies! I’m currently on summer break from college and dog sitting is my only job so I have plenty of time available to care for your pets. I don’t board any pets at my house, but I do go to the client’s home. I can stay over at the house if that’s what the client would prefer, or do drop-ins.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over 7 years and have had cats and dogs my whole life. I truly love all animals and have cared for many, including some from birth who lost their mothers. From playful pups to senior pets, I treat every animal like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work full-time during the day, but I’m off in the evenings, on the weekends and have half days on Wednesdays and Fridays. When I’m free, I plan on dedicating to pet care and schoolwork. I have an inside cat, but he is house trained and yard trained. I also did this with my grandparent’s dog who they’ve had since 2018. She is a very playful dog who loves outside play. They had a fenced in yard, but I would take her to the park often to give her more room to run around.
“Elizabeth listened carefully and provided everything our two dogs needed down to the last detail. She was very comfortable and confident. Highly recommended for your next pet sitting job!”

“Chelsea was a real life saver. I put a request in at the last minute and she was able to accommodate my needs. She communicated clearly, helped me navigate Rover, and sent me updates with pictures of my happy pup. And she was even able to give the cat some love - which is rare since he’s a jerk. I would use Chelsea again in a heartbeat!”
About: I am active and love to be active with a canine. I moved back to Louisiana from Hawaii in 2021. I have been an active Rover sitter in Honolulu since 2018. I love dogs and enjoy when they visit my home. My sweet Bear passed away last year so opening my home to care for other fur babies is extra special. I would really like to share the love I have to give with your dog/s. Also, I know dogs miss their owners and get lonely when their loved ones are away. I enjoy being able to keep your dog/s company and make sure they have all of their needs met; love, attention, treats, activities, etc. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals (wild and domestic). I have owned dogs, cats, cows, horses, rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, pigs, guinea pigs, hamsters, skunk, fish, turtles, sugar gliders, and prairie dogs. I have a college degree in biology and I worked as a veterinary tech while attending college. I work and babysit part-time so my schedule is flexible. I am home to cuddle and spend time in the yard as needed. We love to play outside. I have a fenced in yard with quite neighbors. It is very peaceful in my backyard. I love to spend time outdoors in my yard unless it is extremely hot or raining. I also love to take fur babies on outings to parks and wildlife areas.
About: I’ve been in pet care for many years taking care of my own pets and other pets in my pre-vet collegiate career. I have background experience in agriculture and large animal care as well. I work from home so my pets are my day long coworkers! They help give me structure and a routine instead of sitting at my desk all day long. Spending time with them is always something to look forward to. I treat any animal the same as I treat my own pets. My dog is the light of my life and I know other pet parents feel the same about their own babies.

About: Dogs are the most awesome pets to have. I love spending every free moment I have with mine Toby and Lance. They bring me happiness whenever I see them. They put me in check with what is important. I would have 20 of these little guys of my own if that would be possible. So instead I decided to become a pet-sitter and enjoy other people's pets. This also gives my dogs play time and social interaction with others. The greatest and most memorable times are the times spent with dogs. These guys deserve the best care and happiness we can provide them. So now Rover.com has provided me the opportunity to share my love for animals. You will not have any worries or doubts your will be in great hands of a responsible and attention to detail pet sitter.. Thanks for checking out my profile. I hope you book me soon for your pets! Mike J.
