“Ruth does an excellent job caring for my puppies! She is prompt in response to any communication about their visits or changes in my work schedule, adjusts her schedule when possible to take them out earlier or later, and is easy to communicate with. She’s been overly helpful today especially when I forgot to put the lock box on my door on the way out and had a full schedule at work, she even stopped by to get the key where otherwise my puppies would have been stuck with no potty or exercise breaks for hours. These two are full of energy so I know they appreciated the extra play time they got together today also! We are very grateful for Ruth and her excellent dog walking services.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all of my life. I have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I am especially experienced with senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness and extra care they need. I’ve also trained my own pets from a young age, so I’m comfortable working with both older and energetic puppies. Above all, my husband and I treat every pet like family. I work full-time, and my husband is an independent worker with a flexible schedule, so we tag team pet care throughout the day. Our routine allows us to provide check ins and potty breaks approximately every 2-4 hours. We make sure pets are never left alone for too long and always have the attention they need. We’re also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pets usual routine as closely as possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. While I have an unfenced yard, I always use leash and supervise pets closely during outdoor time. I have a calm home environment with open space for pets to walk, play and relax. My senior chihuahua has their own separate room, which helps maintain a peaceful setting and allows me to keep visiting pets comfortable and safe.
“Briana is very responsible and accommodating. She responded quickly and was willing to work with me and my dogs. One of my dogs is very nervous around strangers but she’s been super patient with him and I could tell he’s warming up to her. I would definitely recommend Briana.”
“Rachelle was so responsive and made me feel so comfortable! It is my first time ever using Rover & I’m glad that she was available. Definitely will be using her services again! Highly recommend!”
About: I've breed chihuahuas an I've also rescued newborn kittens an bottle fed them. Also any animal that I find or see I feed an try to care for them. Pet care is my life an I take care of my furbabies all day. I love to rescue or help any animal in need. ❤️ I treat them like my babies or furry children. I will feed an walk or entertain any animals purposes. Safe an loved at all times.
“Tyler was so kind and great with communicating to me about each visit! He always texted me before he arrived to walk my dog. My dog loved him and Tyler sent me the best pictures too! He left me notes so that you knew what all had happened during the visit! I would recommend him to anyone!”
“Ashley was absolutely great. This was my first time using this service and I was a nervous wreck to be honest. My baby is 11yrs old and has always stayed with family while I travel. It’s nice to know that I was able to trust her with my home and my baby and she was very welcoming. I will definitely be using her a lot more frequently.”
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.
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was 11—everything from cats and dogs to hermit crabs and turtles. I specialize in gentle handling, senior care, and puppy patience. Animals feel safe with me. I’m currently in school part-time for wildlife ecology, so animals are a big part of my life and schedule. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I live on a quiet, abandoned golf course with two dog parks nearby—plenty of safe, open space for pets to play, explore, and feel at home.
“Cassidy was very accommodating, flexible and kind with my fur babies. It was their first time left alone all day in a very long time and my first time using the app and Cassidy was patient with my new navigation of this process and tender hearted to my lonely doggie. Warmed my heart that she sat with my girl and encouraged her to eat her meal even though she was missing her momma. I even needed to add an extra walk when my day went unexpectedly late, and this was no issue.”
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’ve had hamsters, dogs, cats. They were mainly family pets but I also taken care of pets on another website. I’m excited to learn about your pet and gain more experience! I’ve also volunteered for spca and love all kinds of pets. I am also a mother of an 8 month old and pets should be no different. I have taken care of snakes, turtles, Guinea pigs, hamsters, cats, dogs, and birds! I’m able to take care of your pet and play a lot with them since I do this full time. I’m available even for last minute bookings as long as I have an opening. I have a fenced back yard and a large crate. Dogs bowls and lick pads for your animals! Fresh water and food is always available.
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 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!
About: Growing up we always had pets and learned how to take care of them. Over the years I have had two ferrets and two large dogs (not at the same time!) Recently I have been doing more pet and house sitting and volunteering for the SPCA. For the SPCA I have walked dogs of all breeds and sizes and helped with adoption and fundraising events. My schedule is very flexible right now. I am talking online classes and can adjust my schedule as needed. That frees me up for walking, drop in visits or sitting. When house sitting, I respect your home and your wishes as a guest. Share with me all the details about how to best care for your furry family members so that I can make the time you are away the most comfortable for them. Currently I am not available for day care or boarding.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years. Running and playing sports with dogs has always been my favorite hobby. Thank you so much I can play with and care for pets all day. I live in a very pet friendly neighborhood. We have a beautiful dog park that the dogs all enjoy. Respecting the clients wishes in their homes and showing their pets lots of love is all it takes. I have spent many hours house sitting for amazing Black labs, Pit bulls, and Goldens.

Shelisha F.Star Sitter
“Shelisha is a caring and compassionate person towards people and pets. She has this ability to connect with animals that is truly amazing and endearing. They seem to establish a connection with her almost instantly. I think it has to do with how sensitive towards her and the animal's emotions she is and animals are able to pick up on that. Shelisha has been a great care giver to many pets in the past and will continue to deliver this with a positive frame of mind.”

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!”
Mickey M.
“I'm very cautious of leaving my dog in someone else's care due to age and on going medical conditions. Mickey made me feel comfortable leaving my best friend in her care. She was very diligent in administering his daily meditation and special food on schedule. I would recommend her as a responsible person to care for your home and pet.”
Eric R.
“I have a 3 year old Boston terrier, since the very first day Eric was very warm and friendly towards him. Kai my dog is extremely energetic and friendly and Eric took care of him in such a way that Kai would enjoy his time with him but also listen to him and follow his commands. I highly recommend Eric, I've seen him work with various dogs around the neighborhood and I know the dogs are always happy to be out and about with him. He cares very much about his 4 legged customers and it definitely shows.”
