“Jimmy is an unsocialized one person dog. He was put in a situation where his owner was unexpectedly hospitalized. There was no family close by to help so I reached out to Rover and found Casey M- She has been a rockstar with this shy boy. He took to her immediately and she has been so gracious and so kind during this difficult time for our family and for Jimmy the dog. We feel very blessed to have found her. She is wonderful!”


“Great job! Took care of my babies due to a family emergency and last minute notice. Stephanie was prompt and had great communication. Took pictures snd kept me informed. Will definitely recommend.”


“Melody has been a great help with our new puppy. She is punctual and communicative, flexible and able to respond to our growing puppy’s changing needs on any given day, and ready to offer advice and suggestions when asked based on her extensive experience. I don’t know how we would get through our puppy phase without her!”


“Diamond took good care of our cat for 6 days over the holiday. She made sure our cat had water, food, a clean litter box and cleaned up after her. I will definitely use her again when we go on vacation.”


About: I've been caring for pets since I was 15, helping family and friends with everything from daily walks to giving medications. I’m confident with all aspects of pet care—feeding, bathing, playing, and making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. I treat every animal like they’re my own, with patience, reliability, and lots of belly rubs. Whether it’s a quiet cuddle or an energetic walk, I adapt to your pet’s needs and routines to keep them happy and healthy. I work part-time at the hospital just two days a week and the rest of my time is focused on nursing school, which offers flexibility in my schedule. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and find relaxing, so I make time for it throughout the week. Whether it’s early morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening check-ins, I plan my day to make sure pets in my care get the attention, love, and consistency they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always aim to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow the pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, walking, and administering medications on schedule. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and preferences, whether that’s extra playtime, a cozy cuddle, or just some quiet companionship. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and tidy, just like they left it. I send regular updates and photos so owners feel connected and reassured. My goal is to make each pet feel secure and loved while their owner is away.

“So thankful to have found Amber and her two sweet kiddos! My kitties were so well cared for, Really put me at ease. Loved the daily photos and report card, Love to know my babies are happy when we travel. I highly recommend Amber, Very trustworthy and punctual.”


About: Hi there! With 2.5 years as a veterinary assistant and over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I know that every animal is unique — and deserves care tailored just for them. From playful puppies to senior pets, I’ve provided everything from daily walks and feeding to long-term in-home care, always with safety, love, and trust at the heart of it. I recently relocated from DC where I worked in veterinary medicine, giving me valuable knowledge in animal health, behavior, and basic medical care. I’m confident handling special needs pets, administering medications, and recognizing early signs of illness — things that offer that extra peace of mind. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit, a long afternoon walk, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your furry friend is happy, comfortable, and well-loved. My goal? To treat every pet as if they were my own — with plenty of snuggles, belly rubs, and tail wags. I am new to the state and currently looking for work so I am home full time! I have ample time to dedicate to walking and sitting for all animals. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — from meal times to favorite walking routes — so they feel at ease in their own environment. I’ll give them lots of attention, ensure they’re safe, clean up after them, and keep you updated with daily photos and messages.

“Since this was my first time using Rover, I was a little bit nervous, but Kacie was very responsive and professional and helpful! She did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs, and I could tell from the pictures that she sent at each of the drop in visits that our dogs loved her, too! It made it so easy to not have to worry that they were being well taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely use her services again!”


About: I’ve been caring for and loving dogs most of my life. I currently have a sweet and playful 2-year-old Golden Retriever who keeps me on my toes and fills my days with joy. Before that, I helped raise and care for my parents’ two German Shepherds for over 8 years—from puppyhood through their senior years—so I’m very comfortable with large breeds, energetic personalities, and dogs with different needs at different life stages. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy pups, sticking to a feeding or medication schedule, or just making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home, I care for every dog like they’re my own. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I’m here to give you that peace of mind. I’ve got my summers wide open, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to focus on your dog’s needs! During the summer months, I’m home full-time and can provide lots of attention, playtime, walks, and snuggles throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment. I stick closely to your routine—whether that’s walk times, feeding schedules, playtime, or medications—so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you’re away.

“I can’t say enough good things about Amaya! She took incredible care of my dog while I was away, treating her like one of her own. I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. She kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear she truly loves animals and is amazing at what she does. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and attentive!”


About: I have about 7 years of pet care experience with dogs of various sizes, as well as cats. Dogs with hearing and /or sight issues, as well allergies, I have experience caring for animals of all sizes. My experience comes from caring for my brothers dog, my nieces dog, as well as some outside clients who went away on vacation, and asked me to pet sit for them! Please Read before reaching out: I do work part time job aside from dog/cat sitting services but I’d be more than happy to accommodate you, and your pet the best way I can. 😊 Animals that can be taken out between 4-8 hours do work best with my schedule. Safety is my absolute top priority! I’d never want to put myself nor your pet in any unsafe situation . I pride myself on following any and all instructions left by the owner as well as making sure your pets are as comfortable as possible. Establishing trust is an extremely important part of the process not only between me and your pet but as well between my self and the owner as well so I like to schedule meet and greets and allow us all to get to know each other better when possible!

“Carla was exceptional! She took good care of my fur babies. I also really appreciated that she was so flexible with her schedule and did go out of her way to make sure my cats got taken care of.”


“Desiree is so great! So glad she was able to help watch out pups while we were gone. The messages on the report card, the photos, the meet and greet were all as I would have hoped for! Will def rebooking in the future!”


About: I live in a household with a big dog, 4 cats, and a hedgehog. This has given me lots of diverse experience on how to take care of animals. I also work from home so I have been able to dedicate all of my time to loving them as best as I can. I work from home so I'm able to address the needs of my pets as they come up, to ensure nothing is forgotten and there are no pain points for them. I focus on what the parent of the animal wants and what the animal's lived experience has been. I try to address all of their needs as they come up based on that to ensure that they can be comfortable even when their parents are away.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! Having two dogs and four cats myself I’m not afraid of a little fur!! (I always carry a lint roller haha). I promise to make your pets feel safe and loved, as I know they are your family and they should be treated as such! I frequently dog sit for my friend who is a flight attendant, as well as cat sit for my aunt who travels for work as well! I am an open book that would love to earn your trust as well as your pets trust :) I am available anytime, any day! I can even do weekends and overnights! For overnights. Taking care of my animals is a seriously high priority for me, and I know your pet would be in great hands! For my dogs, as they are fully potty trained, the daily routine is breakfast at 6/7 am, as well as a potty break. I take them for a walk every morning and evening (about a .5 mile to 1 mile each) where we will often stop and play fetch in my neighborhoods dog park! After the evening walk, they get fed dinner. Water is available to them 24/7! For my cats, I have three litter boxes that each get cleaned once a day. My cats are pretty much independent with their eating schedules (they don’t eat near each other haha) I have automatic feeders in my home, one on each floor. I am accustomed to morning and night feedings as well for those who don’t use an automatic feeder. Water is available to my animals 24/7! I frequently cuddle all of my animals, and they all get their fair share of play time!

About: My whole life I have been rescuing animals off the streets and been involved in animal care and medicine for 18 years. I was an animal care specialist in the US Army for 6 years and have been an emergency room veterinary technician for 5 years. I can provide the most basic care to the most extensive care. If your animal has previous medical conditions that need managed, I’m your girl! I have devoted my life to protecting and saving animals. Ensuring your pet is in the best hands while on vacation, work trips, or even long days can be stressful. Rest assured, I will provide continuous love, attention, and care to your pets as if they are my own! Pictures throughout the day will always be provided. I am currently doing online schooling, so my availability is very flexible! Whatever you and your pets needs are, I can accommodate. I am available most weeks! I will ensure the safety of your pets while they are in my care. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with a “stranger”, but no pet is a stranger to me! Pets are family, and deserve the best care, always!
