About: I have taken care of newborn orphan puppies and I have potty trained my friends' adult dog. My friends and family say I have a lot of patience. I am a full-time college student. I am home most of the time and I think Rover will give me something fun to do. I absolutely love pets of any kind. I love how they have their own personality I care about their health and happiness. I am very organized and I can stick to a strict schedule. I will make sure your fur baby is comfortable and happy. I will send pictures/videos of your pet every hour.

“Tux had an amazing time and even got a treat! Rodeliza was very attentive and provided us pictures and videos even for the very short period of time Tuxedo stayed with her, thank you!”


About: I have been around all animals since before I can remember. I have been taking care of dogs for many years now and have trained my golden since she was a puppy. Dogs have always brought me joy, and I enjoy giving them care, love, and tons of fun! One fun note is, you will receive some great photos of your dog during their stay! I work hybrid all week so I can be home when needed. I take my dog out to play throughout the day and whenever they need to go. My job is flexible so any additional support your pet needs I can provide it! I have a fenced backyard and a golden retriever who loves dogs. I both have excellent experience taking care of dogs and will make sure your dog has everything it needs and wants!! All specific care requests are welcome and can be accommodated for!

“Absolutely the most amazing sitter I've had for Nichols. We travel all over the US and whenever we need a sitter we use Rover. Nichols gets excited when we pullup. Rose is amazing and interacted with Nichols more than I expected. Before we move on to our next stop we will book Rose for a day just because. I can't recommend Rose enough”


About: I have over 8 years experience with rescue dogs and puppies. Have had multiple rescue dogs at once and I'm confident with looking after both puppies and seniors. I am able to administer medication such as diabetes shots and tablets. I am currently a stay at home painter. I am with my own dog all day so plenty of bathroom breaks and attention is given. I have a large fenced yard for your baby to run around with my own dog and a baby gates throughout the house for safety

“Myla and Jordan were above and beyond in their care for our energetic dog. Their yard is fantastic for play and their dogs were the sweetest playmates for Rennie. We would not hesitate to use them again and we enthusiastically recommend them as pet sitters. As a bonus, Myla took professional level photos that captured our dog’s personality. We are grateful for their kindness.”


“Our dog had a great time at Dalton’s. He has a nice backyard. Glad my dog also got to meet a cat. We may use him again so that she can really learn about cats.”



“Mark is really friendly and you can tell he really loves animals. My 10lb Shih Tzu Callie got along with his dog Lucky and I was not worried about my little baby being alone with his German Shepherd mix. I'm also really thankful about how flexible he was with my crazy, changing schedule about drop-off and pick-up times. I'm glad to have dropped Callie off with Mark. Thanks again! I appreciate you watching my little baby over the weekend!”



“Rhonil and his wife Colleen took great care of my puppy, Piper. She sent pictures throughout the day and communicated promptly and effectively. Her home was clean, and she was very accommodating. Piper seemed very well cared-for and like the happiest puppy when I picked her up both days. Colleen even texted me the day after the two days she kept Piper and to check in and see how Piper was doing. Couldn’t be more pleased with how Piper was cared for! Thank you!”


About: Have been around animals and pets all of my life. During medical school , I had a part-time job at a pet store. I will care for your baby very well. I am available 7 days a week, 24 hours. I work from home and I am very active throughout the day for pets. I go to the dog at least 2 times each day. Schedules are no issues for me. Yes fenced home. Dog parks access. Pets are allowed on the furniture. There is a play room for pets... yes, I created a play room in my home for pets.

About: From my experience in shelter care and veterinary medicine, I am very comfortable with caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and medical needs. I have dealt with strays and owned pets from every imaginable background, and I believe every animal is worthy of patience, respect, and affection. I’m currently unemployed so I have a very open schedule for watching your dogs and cats! I typically let my own dogs out about 4-5 times a day, and they each have their own feeding schedule that I attend to as needed. I am very flexible right now, and would also be available to do fluids, injections, and other specific medical and behavioral needs (e.g., extra walks, extra play time, etc.). I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs, and two sweet cats, to keep your furbaby company. I am comfortable crating dogs and have an extra crate for a small-medium dog. One of my dogs is a senior dog with special needs, so I am perfectly comfortable housing and caring for dogs who have their own special needs. I also have a dog with epilepsy so I am very used to dealing with seizures and the safety precautions that go along with them. These dogs have also never met a stranger, and our home is an overall very welcoming environment to all creatures (I even have a pet spider!).

About: Hi! I’m Olivia, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. From a young age, I’ve felt a deep emotional bond with animals — the kind of connection that shaped my life and made me certain I’d grow up to care for them. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs special care or medication, I’m here to provide compassionate, attentive support tailored to their needs. One of the most meaningful parts of my journey was caring for my dog, Flopsy, through her battle with cancer. She had a limb amputated, and I was by her side every step of the way during her rehabilitation and throughout her final months. That experience deepened my empathy, patience, and understanding of what animals and their families go through — and it taught me how powerful love and trust can be in healing. I’m very patient and understand that some pets take a little extra time to warm up — and that’s perfectly okay. I believe in clear, thoughtful communication, so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! Currently, I’m home full-time and have one dog and two cats who all get along well. This means I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. I’m available to house sit or host pets in my home, as long as your pet is comfortable with a resident dog and two friendly cats. I’m also happy to provide walks, park trips, or anything else your furry family member may need. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. My home is calm, pet-friendly, and filled with love. I live with one gentle dog and two friendly cats who are used to sharing their space with new furry friends. If your pet is comfortable around other animals, I’d love to welcome them here! I’m also available to house sit if your pet feels more secure in their own environment. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication, or just lots of cuddles, I’m happy to follow your routines closely so your pet feels safe and cared for every step of the way.

About: I have over 10 years experience in dog sitting for my clients in their own homes and I am now able to host your best fur friends in my own home as well! I currently have an extremely friendly Golden Retriever named Jim and he loves visitors. My family also had four St. Bernards during my childhood, so I am no stranger to large breeds. Throughout my years of dog sitting, I have gained experience with handicapped, elderly, and newborn dogs. I am able to administer shots, give oral medication, insert drops into ears and eyes, and any other similar extra needs your pup may have. Caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes has always been a passion of mine. I have never met a dog that I didn’t fall in love with immediately and I vow to care for your furry family member as if he/she were my very own! You’ll have nothing to worry about while you’re out of town — your pup and I will send you selfie updates to prove it!

About: Hi! My name is Lisa, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 30 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, and I always treat them like family. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow any special instructions. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority! Hi! I'm a freelancer with a flexible schedule, which means I can spend plenty of quality time with your pet. Your furry friend will never feel lonely — I’ll be there to give them the attention, care, and love they need while you're away. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just relaxing together, I’ll make sure they feel safe and happy. I have a large fenced backyard where your dog can play safely, and they'll also have a friendly Bichon Frise to keep them company! !

About: Both my wife and myself work from home. We have 2 dogs but can watch up to 1 more. We have an young (10 Months) 11 lb male Dachshund that would love a little friend to play with. We also have a lovable 75 lb older Male Blue pit, thats been around little dogs his whole life.

Andrenette F.
“I have known Andrenette for over 15 years and she has always been a compassionate, caring, and loving person. She adopted 2 female beagles from the local animal shelter and is the absolute best dog mom a dog could have. She travels with her girls everywhere she goes. She absolutely loves them and treats them as her children. Most people would board their dogs when they travel out of town, not her. She always take her girls with her and finds accomodations for them to go to a dog park and pet daycare where she travels if they can't go with her to an event. I would definitely recommend her to be a pet caregiver. They will receive a lot of love and attention. She takes the time to prepare meals daily for her girls, no dog food is good enough for them. I call her myself for meal ideas for my own fur baby. She will be a great asset to Rover!”


Arden L.

She has always taken great care of our 6 neurotic cats and we always feel comforted leaving, knowing even the couple that hide from everyone, are still getting what they need. Olivia loves all animals as if they are her own. Passionate and happy, your pets will love her too!!! Highly recommended!”
