“Briana did an amazing job checking in our shy senior cat! She was very communicative, and we had no worries that our girl was in good hands while we were out of the country.”


“Cyd Marie was awesome! This is our first time using Rover for our cats, and she has made it so easy. She communicated well with us, and was also sure to update us on the wellbeing. There was a small situation at our house while we were gone, and she was very willing to help out as much as she could, which we really appreciate. Our two cats are happy and fed, and we look forward to working with her again!”


“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”



About: I have had animals in my house all my life and have always loved taking care of them! I grew up with cats and when we finally got our first dog we were inseparable. I went off to college and got my own animals to take care of for a couple years but I recently moved across the country with my husband and we had to leave our little friends behind with our families. My late childhood dog had gotten older as I was going off to college and lost her hearing and sight, so I'm well prepared to take care of animals that need a little extra attention! I'm hoping to help people in the area out with their little family members! I love to walk dogs, play with cats, and just hangout with all types of animals. Im currently working from home and doing some online schooling. This allows me to be super flexibly for a job with Rover. I can tend to your pets needs 24/7. Because of my situation, your pet will almost never be left alone and will be well taken care of and loved! I do not have any pets of my own currently and will only be taking one family at a time. I have a huge yard outside my apartment unit and a fenced in dog park that is not too far of a walk away as well!

“Yan is an amazing cat sitter! I was really worried my about leaving my cat for two weeks but Yan kept me updated and made sure my baby was well cared for and had enough playtime! It was great to see the photos and read the personal updates for each visit. 10/10 Recommend booking with Yan!!!”


“Tyler is an awesome pet caregiver! He has been doing drop in visits for our new puppy for the last few weeks and has been very helpful. He is trustworthy, has excellent communication, and goes above and beyond to make sure our pup is taken care of. He even gives our other dog love too while he’s there. He gives feedback after every visit and I can tell he is invested in our dogs happiness. Him and his wife, Sierra, are our first choice for a pet sitter due to each experience being great! I would highly recommend Tyler for any of your pet service needs!”


“Thanks to Car, we were able to enjoy our vacation without worries. She took care of our pets as if they were her own, sending us photos twice a day and telling us about our pets' day. We couldn't have found a better person than her. She's sure to be our pet sitter for a long time. Thank you so much, Car, for making our vacation worry-free.”


About: I have loved and cared for my own pets plus those of friends and neighbors. It's been one one of the most rewarding things that anyone can do. I am very happy just being home with my pets. We are not worthy of their love. I welcome the chance to help you care for your fur baby. I am a personal trainer so I have the flexibility to set my own schedule. My weekends are for the most part open, especially during the summer. My pets are my babies. I have cameras strategically placed to help me keep and eye on them at all times. I make sure to take a head count and take lots of cuddle breaks.

About: I have had at least one dog my entire life, so over 20 years. I have experience with puppies who were just born, all the way to a pup who is 17 years old - almost as old as me! I have owned multiple dogs at a time, trained my own puppies, and have even had farm animals (cows, pigs, goats, chickens, you name it!) My family and friends have relied on me to care for their pups for years, and I have experience with over 20 breeds including (Shih Tzus, Yorkshire Terriers, Chihuahuas, English Bulldogs, Great Pyrenees, German Shepherds, Mountain Curs, Golden Doodles, Golden Retrievers, Doberman Pinchers, and many more!) I am a 23 year old newly married, dog loving girl! I have a 5 year old English bulldog of my own and her and I are the best buddies! I can assure you, your pup will be just as loved as if it was my own. I absolutely love walking dogs and taking them to the dog park (two of my faves) or simply just playing in the yard. Prior to taking care of your pup, I love for them to get familiar with me, so I will take the on a walk or play with them first. I do not offer overnight services in my personal home, but will visit your home so that your sweet pup (or cat!) feels safe and very familiar with its surroundings. I have found that relocating your pup to a place they have never been can make them very nervous, therefore I simply visit your home where your pup is at the times that you typically feed/water, and take out your pup on a normal basis!

About: I completed a four year veterinary program in high school on top of being a lifetime animal lover who tries to gain as much general animal information as possible. With this I have basic skills and knowledge on how to handle dogs professionally. At college, I am my dog’s full time caretaker as well as taking care of three dogs total at home. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I plan on working part time for the summer, but whenever I am not working I am available! My weekly schedule cannot be known until my job posts when I work but I will be able to communicate specifics. I will comply to and rules and regulations that the owners put in place for their animals. I cannot work out of my own home but am more than willing to pet sit or do drop in at the owners home, where their dog will more likely be at home.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for dogs has always come naturally to me. I began my journey as a pet lover with my first dog, Hanna, who was by my side for 14 wonderful years and taught me the true meaning of loyalty and unconditional love. Later, Kira came into our lives unexpectedly, bringing even more joy and companionship to my family. Over the years, I have also taken care of the dogs of friends and family, gaining valuable experience with different breeds, personalities, and needs. Whether it’s providing daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them comfort and affection, I take pride in offering the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets. I believe that every dog deserves to feel safe, happy, and loved, and my lifelong connection with animals allows me to create a warm, trustworthy environment for any pup in my care I am currently a student and work part-time, which allows me to have flexible hours. At the moment, I am available from Wednesday to Friday and on some Saturdays When caring for dogs, I make sure they have plenty of exercise, fresh water, and a clean, safe space. I pay close attention to their routines and adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I believe in giving them affection and gentle care so they feel happy, comfortable, and Loved

“We called upon Vanessa’s care for our fur babies for the second time. This time it was a last minute thing and a shorter time so we asked Vanessa if she can do a home visit. Vanessa came by twice daily. She feed our babies, let them out so they can do their thing as well as allowing them to run around and play. She sent daily pictures and videos which we absolutely love! We came home to happy ..well taken care fur babies and no messes in the house. Once again we are extremely pleased with Vanessa and will most definitely continue to use her♥️”


“Sandra took care of my two boys while I was out for a weekend and I’m very pleaseant with her service. She did good, took notes of everything and send me photos of my boys while I was out. Good Sitter!”



“Ashley was so accommodating with taking care of my mom’s pets while she was in the hospital! I really appreciate her communication and how she cared for the fur babies. Would definitely book again. Thank you so much!”


“I’m so happy to have found Ashley for regular visits for my two senior kitties! She is very caring, respectful, and gave great reports and pictures from the first visits. She has a calming energy - one of my cats always hides from strangers and even people he has seen before, but he didn’t run away at the meet and great or visits. I would definitely recommend Ashley to anyone who needs a responsible and dedicated sitter.”


About: I’m patient and attentive when it comes to animals and their individual needs. I’m physically capable of engaging in any animal-related activities, and I stay observant to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I also adapt easily to each animal’s personality and preferences. As a college student without a current job, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time throughout the day and week to care for pets. This fits well into my routine and gives me the opportunity to focus fully on their needs. I provide a safe, loving environment, follow routines closely, offer regular potty breaks, playtime, and ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.

Kendra N.Star Sitter
“If you're looking for someone who truly understands and loves animals from the heart — look no further. Kendra is kind, caring, and incredibly intuitive with every pet she meets. She just knows what they need, whether it's extra cuddles, a calm presence, or some playful energy. Our pets absolutely adore her. In fact, all we have to do is say her name and the tails start wagging instantly! It's like they know their favorite human is on the way. She spoils them in the best ways, making sure they’re safe, loved, and happy. Honestly, you can’t find a better person to care for your babies. She's not just a pet sitter — she's family!”

“Jyana is a great choice to walk your dogs or just look after them. Her own dog is always beautifully maintained and well behaved, as well as spoiled and healthy.

She also does very well with my cat and respects his boundaries but still loves up on him when he wants it. She is very responsible and reliable and has a great response time. She has had experience working at a vet and is studying animals. She is also very respectful and adaptable to any plans and communications.”

I'd highly recommend Michelle for any dog sitting or dog walking needs!”
