Liz was wonderful with our boy Cassius. She gave great updates and allowed for my first time rover experience to go smoothly and put my mind at ease. She was great with him and we came home to a happy pup.

Caitlin was great. My cat was shy with her during the meet and greet but she was able to connect and bond during the visit with treats, brushes, and play. She was very respectful of the house and followed instructions perfectly. Thanks Caitlin!

About: I am the person you would describe as the "dog person" I take care of my own dogs like they were my children and I would treat your dog or cat the same. I crate trained my dogs, and I am constantly giving them toys to play with. I am currently in between jobs so I am available every day. If you want someone to watch your animals who will be responsible, caring, and thoughtful you should shoot me a message. I have been around dogs of all ages since I was little. My mother always had dogs and cats in my life, she would tell us that dogs should never be mistreated because they will love you and miss you no matter what you do. they deserve the same. As of right now I work part time doing my own cleaning business. I work around my schedule and set my own schedule, so your baby will always be my priority when you schedule with me! Don’t hesitate to ask me about house cleaning at the time of asking about pet care. If I have to host your baby at my house I do have a fenced in yard but I go on regular walks with any animal I watch so that they get enough exercise and potty breaks to keep them happy. I very diligent when dog sitting to give them the exercise and care that they need, you will never have to worry about your baby when they’re with me.

About: Hi! I am a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for high-energy breeds. I currently share my home with a Red Heeler and a Goldendoodle, both of whom require significant daily exercise, mental stimulation, and attention. This has given me strong skills in managing active dogs and creating structured, enriching routines. My professional background includes working as an EMT and now as a behavior technician, which has shaped my calm, attentive, and safety-first approach. I’m trained to stay level-headed in emergencies, read behavior cues, and provide patient, consistent care. I’m also an avid surfer, so I’m naturally active and love the outdoors. I’m using Rover as a side gig and I’m always open to long visits, overnight stays, and extended care. I genuinely love all animals and treat every pet like family. You can trust that your pet will receive unconditional love, reliable attention, and excellent care while with me. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. I can fit your pet’s needs into my day and I’m happy to work around your schedule. I’m also available on weekends, plus open to long visits and overnight stays. I live in an apartment complex with a big fenced area for the dogs to play in. There is also trails by the apartment that I walk. Your pet will get care, and exercise all while having the time of their lives!!

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs in my life. I worked as a vet assistant and I’m now working towards a certification of vet assistant. I have one cat and one lizard. I had 12 dogs before and took care of them all. Ranged from chihuahuas to pit bulls. I’m currently working in the military. And I live animals very very much. I have a cat named Gray and a bearded dragon named Shmoop. I would have to go to clients house to care for the animals, as I live in apartments at the moment. I would need to know how owner does certain things for the animals.

Amanda was very pleasant to work with. She was very personable with my 2 cats, especially with my younger male adopted as a stray. He is very timid and runs from strangers, but he let her pet as shown by the many pictures she posted. I will definitely book her again.

This was our first booking using this app, and I am thankful that Andrea was easy to work with. We booked last minute and did not have time to meet and greet, and she was accommodating of this. Our address is tricky and doesn't always show up on maps, but she was able to work around that, too. She sent us photos of our two cats, daily updates about their activity, and made sure they had food and water.

Bethany did a great job with our two kitties! They both can be pretty timid, but it didn’t take long for them to get used to/trust her. We were grateful for the daily pictures and updates and if anything ever went wrong, Bethany was prompt in letting us know.
