“Arianna was responsive and great with our cat! She sent thorough daily updates and clearly took very good care of our pet while we were gone. We will definitely use her again!”
“Jaime did a great job looking in on my two shy kitties, and making sure they had plenty of food and water. She went above and beyond seeking out the cats and sending me a picture of them under the bed; it was reassurance that I left my cats in good hands while I was away.”
“Took excellent care of my senior pet, Sparkle giving medication each evening, and providing valuable time letting Sparkle to go outside and roam the backyard; allowing time for Sparkle to decided to outside or stay inside.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life — with over 10 years of personal ownership and experience in dog sitting, walking, and training. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments — from laid-back seniors to high-energy puppies. I’m especially experienced with young or active dogs and love providing high-energy play, consistent routines, and plenty of cuddles. I’ve also trained dogs in basic obedience, hunting, and even service dog skills, so I’m comfortable reinforcing training while you’re away. I offer walking, feeding, crate training, medication administration, and overnight care — and I always tailor my approach to your dog’s unique needs and personality. Whether your pup needs a calm, consistent presence or someone to match their zoomies, I’ve got you covered! I’m currently out on summer break as a college student so I have a bunch of free time. I’m available weekly for any dog sitting (overnight or just throughout the day), dog walking, check-ins, etc. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space and routine with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, walking routines, crate time, or medication needs—so your pet stays comfortable and consistent in their environment. I’m also happy to continue any training or reinforcement you’ve already been working on, whether it’s basic commands, crate manners, or specific behavior routines. Consistency is key, and I always strive to keep your pet’s progress moving forward while you’re away. I aim to keep your pet’s day as normal and stress-free as possible, offering them love, play, and structure. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I’m tidy, responsible, and always make sure your home is just as you left it—or better. Your pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness are my top priorities.
“We know of our kitties are in the best hands with Beth! One of our fluffballs is pretty shy, but even he is very happy to see her. Such a huge peace of mind knowing they get love and treats while we are away.”
“Mykylie is a thoughtful and caring sitter. She dropped in on my cat while I was out of town and it meant so much for me to get a detailed report on how my kitty was doing (as well as some adorable pictures). I really think anyone can trust their pet in her hands!!”
About: New on Rover but I am a seasoned pet sitter. 🐾 I am experienced in caring for a diverse range of pets. I am known for my calming demeanor, which is particularly beneficial for pets that exhibit anxiety or shyness. I too have anxiety, but when I am with animals they make it all better ☺️. That is why this job is perfect for me! I do have experience with puppies and kittens and senior dogs and cats. I can administer medications and feed them any special diets. I can feed and water your reptiles, birds, fish, amphibians, and other pets. Pet care is my full time job. I have my own cat at home so I do go home to check in on her if I am house sitting for the week. I am attentive to your pets needs and behavior. If they are shy or have anxiety I will give them the proper space and time to adjust to me. I am respectful of your home and your beloved pets.

Does your dog need to chill out before going on a walk I gotchu or needs to let out some energy with toy enrichment or fetch I can do that! Just let me know what works best for your fur baby or I can even help you when it comes to deciding that 💕
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors pets throughout my life. This has included cats and dogs mostly!

I have dog walked, and done drop in visits for one family in the last year which included 2 cats and one hedgehog! I would love to have a dog of my own but don’t have the time due to my job. I can help walk on weekends and week nights after 5pm! I make sure to spend time with and take great care with the animals. I love dogs and all other animals so much and know how important they are to people, so I extend that same love.

“AAAAA++++ If you need an amazing, responsible, tuned in house/pet sitter look no further. We are incredibly grateful that Pam could fit us in her schedule and on short notice. She went above and beyond to make sure our scared cat (who hides from new people), got food in her system while we were away. She sent regular updates and pictures that put us at ease. Our pets were so comfortable in her presence they looked for her when we got home. Our cats are older, grumpy and have various diets and important asthma medications -we appreciate her attention to detail so our pets could get what they needed following our similar routines. The house was cleaner than we left it, plants watered and happy kitties. We will definitely be using Pam again for a stress free vacation.”
About: I’ve grown up with a wide variety of pets since I was little. From farm animals to household pets. New challenges arise and I am comfortable confronting them. Am currently working part time, so I believe that mornings and afternoons are ideal, since I working later in the day and in the evenings. I respect the wishes of whomever’s home I stay in. Everyone is different so listening, paying attention, and even taking notes has gotten me pretty far.
About: If you want your animals to be well cares for, tired from playing and treated like a family member, I am the right choice for you! I have always had animals in my life! When I turned 18 I got myself a puppy. I have trained and taken care of her for the past 7 years! My friends and family often come to me and ask me to help when their dogs are misbehaving because of how well my dog is trained. I have dog sat many times over the years and figured I should get paid for it now. I work a full-time compressed schedule. Due to this I always have 3-4 days off a week. I am looking to fill some of that free time with something I love doing. Walking and taking care of animals! I already walk my dog so I would be happy to walk yours as well! I will drop in when needed and let your animals out to go potty. I can feed them if needed and play with them until they are tired! I can accomadate almost anything.

“I have trusted Alyssa with helping me to care for my own several animals, including both cats and dogs, for several years now. She is very knowledgeable in the health and behavior factors of dogs, being able to handle dogs with difficult behaviors/skittish tendencies easily and responsibly. In case of an emergency, which has occurred when I was not home, she was able to handle it efficiently and without panicking. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She is trustworthy, knowledgeable, responsible, and genuinely cares about the animals she cares for as living breathing creatures and not just a job.”

Jessica T.
“We rescued a sweet young little guy who has severe separation anxiety after a most challenging first year of his life. Needless to say, when my husband and I needed to leave our four legged friend for a week, we were nervous about him. Jessica’s warmth, compassion and love for animals is immediately felt upon meeting her. After a brief period of time, our dog warmed up to her, lived his walks with her, cuddled with her and slept by her side each night. Jessica would text us daily updates and pictures! Just simply, the best one could want for their pet 🫶🏻”

Jeffrey B.
“I have the utmost confidence in Jeffrey as a pet sitter. I've yet to see a dog that has not responded to his positive energy & confidence, even when first greeting them. I've watched him raise his own dog from a puppy. She is a loving, affectionate, obedient girl who absolutely adores him. He takes her to dog parks & socializes her regularly. She loves to play with new friends.”
