“Ellen is such a caring and thoughtful sitter. She is quick to contact us with any issues and I trust her to care for my pets while also ensuring the safety of our home. As usual a great job!!!!”


“Alex was amazing! When I picked up my cats they didn’t seem to want to leave lol! This is was my first time boarding them and Alex made sure to give me updates + really cute pictures of them to calm my nerves. I felt confident that they were well taken care of. Thank you Alex!”



“Delightful! Our cats are pretty shy so we weren't expecting much but Dayna was able to get pictures of them without a problem. She was very flexible and made us feel much better about being away from our pets for a week. Definitely at the top of our list for next time!”


“Amazing! Could not be better”


About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love caring for them like they’re part of the family. I’ve helped watch over pets for friends and relatives whether it’s daily walks, feeding, giving fresh water, or lots of belly rubs! I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to relaxed seniors. I always try to build trust with each pet and make sure they feel happy and relaxed while their owners are away. I know how important routines are, and I’m careful to follow any specific instructions to keep your dog safe, healthy, and comfortable. I’m available most afternoons and evenings during the week. I attend school from 8 AM to 12 PM, Monday through Thursday, and work part time on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. That means I’m fully available Mondays and Wednesdays after 1 PM. Friday’s through Sunday I am available all day every other week. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure they’re in a calm, secure, and pet friendly environment, whether we’re on a walk or visiting their home. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and behavior, and I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations. I follow all care instructions carefully and communicate clearly with pet parents, sending updates and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing. I treat every dog like family and work hard to earn their trust and keep them happy.

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and watch many dogs both old and young every one I have loved and never had any problems. I am home from the summer and free full time to fit your pet needs. I can walk everyday and take care of your pets. Although we do not have a yard, there is a park down the street from us! Our apartment is also spacious for the pets to roam around.

“Meighan did a wonderful job watching my cat, Meepers. Meighan was careful to check on her and send me photos. She even confirmed I came back. I'd definitely book Meighan for my sitter needs in the future. I recommend her to others as well.”


About: I have taken care of my own dogs my entire life, but also started taking care of others' a few years ago. I am dependable and always have the best interest of the animal. I have had reoccurring pet-sitting jobs where I have administered prescriptions and taken care of elderly dogs. I am currently working part-time, so my schedule isn't packed and I am pretty available. On weekdays I usually work between the hours of 7a-12p and on weekends 5:30p-10p. I personally mix having my dogs in a crate and free range of the house, so am comfortable dealing with both situations. My cat is allowed in all parts of my house, so I am most comfortable with your cat having the same allowances in that area, considering I don't have experience with getting a cat into a crate.

“Heather took amazing care of our cat, Sir Thomas, as well as of our home, while we were away. She was communicative throughout our whole trip, and sent us lots of photos to let us know he was doing ok. It is easy to tell that she cares for and loves Sir Thomas as if he was her own. Thank you so much for everything!”


About: Although I am new to Rover, I am not new to pet care. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and always treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, needs a little extra attention, or just wants a calm companion, I adjust to their needs and routines. I’m also great at keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages for peace of mind while you're away. I work full time Friday through Tuesday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and I’m also a college student taking two online classes. This means I have a flexible schedule on weekday evenings after 5 PM and all day Wednesdays and Thursdays. While I can’t adjust my work schedule, I’m reliable and committed to caring for pets during my available hours. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or companionship, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to your instructions and routines to minimize stress and keep things familiar. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye during walks or playtime, and give plenty of gentle attention. I also provide regular updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands while you're away.

My dog Toby loves new friends

“We have two cats that require drop-in visits and Ashley was super responsive and flexible. We really appreciated her prompt replies and being able to book last minute. She shared photos and made sure they had enough food and water while we were away. Would definitely recommend Ashley.”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care Shaundra provided for my cat. I received regular updates and photos. I highly recommend Shaundra to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of all breeds since I was a young teen, from Mastiffs to Dachshunds, walking, brushing, baths, you name it! I am comfortable with dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I currently work with both dog and human aggressive dogs. I am comfortable with special needs pets, and am able and happy to give any medications they may need. I will love your dog as my own, and look forward to working with you and your pup! I’m also prior military so I have base access! I'm available everyday! I have classes currently on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but it's only for 3 hours in the morning. I finish the semester late May, and will update my school schedule when full time classes start again in the Fall (around August of 2025). With the four dogs at home, they each have very different needs. One is not friendly with other dogs, and 13, so I like to keep him comfortable. One is a senior boxer, who is still very active and I am constantly playing with her. One is an older frenchie, who honestly is only interested in cuddling, so I make sure to cuddle up with him whenever possible. The last one is a young golden retriever. He is high energy, and cuddly. I take him with me on hikes, and am constantly training him on correct behaviors.


“Mimi was a great sitter for our shy kitty while we were away for a week. She is very communicative and conscientious. We will book her again next time!”


About: Pets have always been in my household since I was a child. Growing up, my best friend & I would hang out on his farm on the weekends where I truly connected with caring for pets. My personal activities of meditating and connecting with nature through physical activity help me connect with animals. Pet owners constantly appraise me for seeing there pet friends be calm & tranquil under my care. Leading with your heart makes pet care not a job but a loving experience for the little ones when your away from home. Time management is my strong skill with my administrative experience and can incorporate pet care during my downtimes. Also flexible if a pet has a certain schedule/ routine. Don't believe I can have pets in my household but will be checking in with the app yo disable this service to allow pets in my household.

About: I love all animals, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs. I have been petsitting and walking dogs for over 10 years. As well as on going three years experience working at a Veterinary Hospital. I believe that it is important to take each dog's individual personality and preferences into account when caring for them. I enjoy any kind of interaction I can get! I have a 10 year old Yorkie at home who loves to play fetch and goes wild with the word "walk". He provides me with lots of cuddling and laughs. My goal for every pet is to make them feel loved, cared, and appreciated for! I am currently working part time, so i'll have plenty of time playing with your pups! My hours are very flexible and I am easy to contact just shoot me a message. I am always aware of pets getting out so I make sure leashes are on and gates are closed before letting pets out of the house.

About: I’ve had lots of experience working with all kinds of dogs. i’ve worked with them for over a year now. at a doggy daycare and boarding around the area. i would love to help!! i currently work full time, but planning to work part time. i would be available anytime after 4:30 or 5:30. i have an hour lunch break and would love to check in with your pup if needed. on my days off i would love to spend the full day with your fur babies!! you i live in an apartment, i most likely will not be able to bring them to my place. but if an emergency happens. they are more than welcome.


About: As a dedicated and responsible animal lover, I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your furry family members. I share custody of a wonderful 5-year-old, and I rent a room in my home to a tenant who has a 12-year-old blind and deaf chihuahua and a sweet, friendly cat who stays out of the way. This diverse pet experience ensures I’m well-equipped to handle a variety of pet needs. I've been a mom to dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, from a teeny tiny 4lb chihuahua to a 140lb mastiff (who was hilariously scared of the chihuahua!). My heart is big, and I’m a sucker for all creatures. I volunteer at the animal shelter as often as possible, and I foster underage puppies and kittens for the local agency Spark Rescue until they are ready for adoption. With a flexible work schedule, I can easily accommodate your needs. I’m physically fit and active, enjoying hiking and beach outings, but I’m just as happy to chill if that’s what Fido or Fluffy prefers. As a homeowner, I can ensure a stable and safe environment for your pets. I am comfortable with special dietary needs and have experience with litters of puppies and elderly dog care. I’m not afraid to get dirty and have administered insulin shots to a diabetic cat, so I’m not squeamish about medical needs either. I promise to love your fur baby as much as you do! Currently, I work from home part-time, offering me full flexibility and availability to meet your needs with a little notice. I’m all about pets and snuggles, and I will always ensure that any special needs or requests you have are taken care of to the best of my ability! I work from home part-time, with my little one in school and shared custody, allowing me the flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs with a little notice. Whether it's an active day of play or a cozy snuggle session, I'm here to provide loving care for your furry friend. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a secure, loving space with constant supervision and attention. At your home, I maintain your pet's routine, ensuring comfort and consistency. I am experienced with special dietary needs, medical care, and providing a safe, engaging environment tailored to each pet's needs.

About: Animals are my Spirit Animals. I like animals more than most people. If a dog doesn't like you, I'm not sure I can like you. Most cats like me. All kidding aside, I am thoughtful, caring and connected to animals. I have had dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, fish, turtles, tortoises, chickens, ducks and frogs in my past. I currently have an 11 year old beagle that is my wingman. I have helped with senior dogs and cats. I have basic puppy training skills. And I have been a pet "first responder" to bobcat attacks in our area. I know the best places to walk dogs, the best ways to keep foul safe and the way to most animals heart. I look forward to helping you and your favorite pet enjoy vacations or a day away from your home. I am a yoga instructor and I have a cold pressed juice business I teach a couple of classes a day giving me plenty of time to spend time with your animals! I believe we can work together to create a safe, fun and loving environment for your pets whether I stay at your place with them or they need to come to my place we will work together to create the best situation possible for your furry, feathery, scaly or hairy family member while you are away.

“Elisabeth is excellent with pets! She works in a veterinary clinic so she is an ideal candidate to care for your loved pets. She is compassionate, patient, and knowledgeable when it comes to handling animals of all kinds.

Macy W.
“I have known Macy for most of my life. We have been childhood friends for 20 years and there is no one I know who has more of a loving heart for her pets. For most of her adulthood, Macy has either been a dog owner or has had a roommate who has owned a dog. She takes amazing care of all her pets. She is incredibly responsible and very trustworthy. I believe that Macy will be a great addition to Rover and every dog owner will feel reassured that their much loved family member is in good hands.”


Kimberly Z.
“Kim is a HUGE animal lover. She treats my dog like it is her own; with lots of love, kisses, snuggling and playing in the outdoors.
