“James was wonderful with our kitties! From giving medication to communication, everything was great. We appreciate him caring for our cats during the holidays and will definitely be using him in the future!”


“I can’t say enough good things about Mary. She took such amazing care of my dog, Pixie, while I was on vacation. From the start, Mary was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I got regular updates and photos that showed just how happy and comfortable Pixie was — it gave me total peace of mind while I was away. When I came home, Pixie was relaxed, well cared for, and clearly had a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Mary again and highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter. Thank you so much, Mary, for treating Pixie like your own! 🐾”

“Michael was wonderful with my two very shy cats! He was extremely communicative and sweet and patient with my kitties. Michael also helped me make sure my Roomba was cleaned out so it could properly clean while I was gone - he went the extra mile!”

“Lynn is amazing! She took on the responsibility of my pups, last minute, having never met them, and did wonderfully! Lynn communicated with me at every step. She is thoughtful and totally wants to do everything she can to make my pups, and me, comfortable and taken care of. She is highly recommend! I will definitely want to book Lynn again!”

“Kristen was fantastic with our two indoor cats and was incredibly supportive of some separation needs we had with the two during this week. Meds, play, and even a few photos of our outdoor cat kept us informed and grateful. Thank you, Kristen!”

“Aniya was great! This was my first time using Rover so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I was pleasantly surprised! I loved all the photos and the notes. It was nice to know my babies were well taken care of while I was away. I'll definitely use again!”

“Mia was absolutely amazing! She was so attentive and thorough with my cat, Sage. I was out of town for 2 weeks and did not worry at all thanks to her. I will definitely book with Mia again in the future.”


About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life and have 19 years of experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and pay close attention to each pet’s needs to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very flexible and available most days, so I just appreciate a little notice ahead of time instead of same-day requests. Pet care fits easily into my routine, which means I’ll have plenty of time and attention to give your pets. I enjoy spending time walking, playing, feeding, and making sure every pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owner is away. I make sure every pet is cared for in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and personality so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I keep things clean, stress-free, and fun, with plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, and love. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I naturally connect with animals, even the shy or anxious ones, because I’m calm, patient, and pay attention to their body language. Whether it’s high-energy play or quiet companionship, I adjust to what they need. I have experience with: • Senior pets (slow walks, meds, joint care) • Giving oral medications and maintaining routines • Creating a low-stress, loving environment while you’re away More than just walking or feeding, I focus on building trust so your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. You’ll always get updates and honest communication from me, so you can fully relax. As a nursing student with an active lifestyle, pet care is a grounding and joyful part of my week. Walks with dogs keep me moving, and quiet time with cats helps relieve stress from my studies. I’m organized, reliable, and love incorporating feeding, playtime, and even litter box duties into my routine. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it genuinely helps me recharge and stay balanced. I care for pets like they’re my own, whether I’m in my home or yours. For house sitting, I keep routines consistent—feeding, walks, meds, and lots of love—while also respecting and maintaining your space. During walks or drop-ins, I focus on quality time: bathroom breaks, play, meals, and anything your pet needs to feel secure and seen. For cats, I clean litter boxes daily, monitor their behavior, and offer attention on their terms—whether that’s play, cuddles, or quiet companionship. I always leave things clean, calm, and exactly how you left them. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!
About: Hi! I have had animals all my life, from hamsters and fish to cats and dogs, I am an animal lover. If I was better at science I would have been a vet, but instead I just want to help you out and play, walk, or babysit your fur baby. I live near plenty of walkable places and would love a fluffy companion to walk with. I have had small to massive dogs in my home since age 5 so all sizes are welcome. I also love and have had cats and would be so happy to keep a kitty company as well. I am a remote worker and therefore working from home gives me a lot of freedom. Most of the time when I don’t travel you will find me laying by the pool on my computer or going for a walk on a call. I will have plenty of time to do so with a furry friend too. I care about your pets safety because I care about animals, so any specific requests can be accommodated if need be! I work remotely so I am able to spend quality time with your pet and be not only physically present but also offer a lot of undivided attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and protect them just the same. Every pet deserves love and attention that makes them feel safe and comfortable.
“Timothy came in clutch for a last minute request! He had no problem meeting Aja beforehand, and was very responsive when I reached out. Since we had such a great experience, we’ll definitely be using Timothy’s services again!”

Lake City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Esontay was absolutely wonderful! My girl can be very timid around new people, but Esontay was patient and took the time to let her warm up at her own pace. That meant a lot to me, and it made a huge difference in how comfortable my dog felt. I really appreciated her reliability and communication, and I’m already in the process of setting up the next visit. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after.

Esontay was great with our boy. He sometimes can have a hard time meeting new people but that didn’t last long with Esontay. She used professional techniques to break the ice with our dog and he can around quickly. Esontay was very professional and accurate with the schedule we lined out with her. Sent pictures and give great updates. It allowed us to be able to enjoy our well needed trip. We will definitely be using Esontay again for future services! Thank you Esontay!
