“I had the best first experience using the Rover app all because of Kayla. Her calm demeanor made my dogs and cats trust her almost immediately. She was incredibly thorough through the first initial visit and knew all the right questions to ask if I missed something. I will absolutely be rebooking with her. Incredibly happy that I have a trustworthy babysitter because that’s what she is. An incredible babysitter for my fur babies!”

6. Calie W.
About: I have taken care of many different species of animals since I was a child; such as birds, cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and rabbits. I can provide senior care as well. My neighbors, friends, and family members have relied on my service over the years. I am currently unemployed so I can focus on my time on your beloved pet any day of the week. I don't need very much notice to take care of your pet. I try to maintain the same environment that your pets are used to. I will stay on the same meal time schedule that they are normally on. Same with potty breaks and walks.

About: I'm definitely an animal magnet...I love being around animals. I will love and spoil them as if they are my own furbabies! They will never be left alone. I'm very flexible with my schedule. There are days when I'm unavailable but I'm usually available most of the time. I can do weekends, too. My front and backyard are fenced and I do have a rail in the backyard for older dogs to walk down to go potty. I can definitely play with them while outside or even give them lots of cuddles!

About: I have had animals all my life and I have taken care of my friends pets before. I have also had animals that have special medical issues. I take care of my animals in the morning before my college classes. Then I come home and let my kittens out and wash my dog about once a week and take care of her skin. I am used to walking for long periods of time. I also have experience with taking care of my friends pets for long periods of time. I mostly like to walk animals.

15. Jeanette V.
“I can’t recommend my mom enough as a dog sitter. She has a natural way with animals—kind, gentle, and incredibly attentive. I’ve grown up with pets my entire life because of her, and she’s the one who taught me how to care for them with love, patience, and respect. Whether it was dogs, cats, or even the occasional rescue, she made sure every animal in our home was not only cared for but truly loved. She’s also one of the cleanest and most organized people I know, which makes a big difference when someone is trusting you with their home and their pets. She pays attention to every detail—making sure dogs are fed on time, walked regularly, and given plenty of affection and playtime. She treats every pet like they’re part of the family, because to her, they are. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and experienced to care for your dog, my mom is the perfect choice. Your pup will be in the best hands.”

19. Haylee V.

“Haylee was great and very understanding of my situation with my dog who can be wary of new people. She took the time to get to know my dog and went at her pace. Haylee was also very receptive to my instructions for interacting with my dog (for everyone's comfort and safety!) and her routines. Next time we need a sitter, I will definitely get in touch with Haylee.”
