“We are so happy to have found Kathy through Rover. We're always nervous leaving our cat when we go on trips and we didn't have to worry at all this time. Our cat, Alice, is shy and usually takes quite a while to warm up to strangers if she does at all. When Kathy was sitting for her it only took one evening for her to come out and be social. She wanted to play and be petted and even showed her tummy - the ultimate sign of trust! We really appreciated Kathy's communication and concern for Alice while we were away. It made a big difference on this trip. Hoping we can coordinate pet sitting with Kathy in the future.”


“Michelle is fantastic! Anyone would be lucky to have her care for your animals. We will be using her again! She does great with my super energetic puppy, post lots of pictures and updates!”


“Michelle was amazing - she was punctual, professional, and friendly. She was great with Cooper, took him for several walks and really attended to his needs. I was really confident that she would take good care of him. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”


“Caitlin was a great communicator and took great care of my pup while I was away.”



“I’ve booked with Kelsey twice now within the last few months and I would book her services again in a heartbeat! She’s very thorough when she is taking care of my cats, and she provides an adorable Rover card every visit. She is fast to respond to messages, and 100% trustworthy with my cats! Kelsey is awesome! 😸😺”



“Jeremy was an amazing cat sitter! Both my cats were immediately comfortable and really grew to like Jeremy’s daily visits and play time. Super responsive and always sending lots of pics for me to check in on- it’s was such a relief to have them in Jeremy’s care. Highly recommend!!!”


“Lizzy did a great job taking care of all three of our pups while we were out of town. Her communication was top notch and she went above and beyond during her visits. We loved seeing how happy the dogs looked in her updates and will definitely reach out to her the next time we need someone to care for our dogs!”



About: PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE ME IF YOU HAVE PENDING REQUESTS TO OTHER SITTERS. Please understand that when you send me a request, I have to turn down other potential clients while I wait for you to confirm. Thanks in advance for being a considerate neighbor and human. I had dogs all through childhood and college, and miss having a four-legged friend around! Sadly, my own work travel schedule prevents me from having a doggo of my own right now, so I thought that it would be a good compromise to lend a hand to other frequent flyers who love their pup too much to put them in the kennel. Rest assured that your dog will not get just a 15-minute lap around the block to pee, I'll take him or her to the dog park, on a hike, or if your pup is more low-key, I'll totally snuggle on the couch. My pet ownership experience is mostly with big dogs (sheperds), so that's definitely my soft spot, but I've taken care of all breeds and sizes through volunteering as a foster with a rescue group in my former home of Washington, DC. I have a reliable car, so it's easy for me to get to your place to check in a couple of times a day. I work from home, so I am pretty flexible. I do live with a sassy cat, but we live in a big duplex where pets can be separated if needed. I will strive to stick to your pet's usual routine whether I am sitting at your home or boarding in my own home. They are already missing their humans, and maintaining their routine gives them one less thing to be anxious about.

“McKenna helped us out with a last minute request. She is reliable and Hazel seemed to have a great time with her!”


About: Hi! I’m Kat. I have experience looking after animals of all kinds - dogs (big and small), cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, turtles, you name it. I have three cats at home who get lovingly spoiled every day, and I have experience dog walking, dog-sitting (included overnight stays), and cat-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I have a genuine love for all types of animals, and I put their well-being, care, and enrichment above all else. I work from home as a jewelry maker, so my schedule during the week is flexible as can be. I can easily make time for morning, midday, and evening visits. I am detail-oriented and will follow any given care instructions to the letter. My goal is to treat your pet just like you would, with the same love and attention you give them every day.

“Stephen and Amelie are the best! They take excellent care of our babies and our home when we’re away and make us feel completely comfortable when we need to travel without the pups. Our dogs love them too!”


About: Hello, I have taken care of all kinds of animals since I was very young. I have taken care of roosters, chickens, ducks, rabbits, dogs, kittens, goats. I really like playing with animals and entertaining them. I like taking them for walks and bathing them. I started working as an animal caregiver at the age of 20 with neighbors, friends, and family. I believe that animals are very intelligent and full of love. I just arrived in the country and I am looking for a job that I can do part-time and be able to study. I am also looking to do what I love and am passionate about, which is taking care of pets, being able to walk them and take care of them, giving them everything they need, which is love and care. I have a park near my house where I can play with your doggy baby. I also have many toys and ideas in my house to do with them.

“Excellent communicator and did a great job with making sure Bo had everything he needed.”


About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and many different kind of pets. I’m trustworthy and dependable with a special heart for animals! Thank you for considering me. I am currently not working as I left my hospital recruitment job to stay home with my almost 2 year old! He is gentle and sweet with every creature he meets. We nanny for a couple families with pets as well. I’m looking for something else to fill our time and help where we can. I have done different types of care. We have a big yard which is mostly fenced in. We live in a great, safe neighborhood where we love to walk but also love checking out new areas.


About: I’ve never NOT had an animal in my life, and Rover is a great way to be around pets even more! Life with pets is the best way to live ☺️ I work from home remotely full-time with a very flexible schedule, and love to fill my break time with a drive or a walk. Perfect for taking care of someone’s pet! In a client’s home, I’ll take care of their pets with any space they have available (indoor play, outdoor fenced play, etc) or walk the dog outside as needed!

“Thank you very much for checking in on Blueberry and Avocado when we were gone! It really give us piece of mind knowing they are good while we are away. 💙💚”


About: Hello, and thank you for looking at my profile! As a dog owner myself I completely understand how hard it is to know where to turn for dog sitting. You have come to the right spot. I will make sure that while you’re out of town the only thing you need to worry about, is what drink to order. I have had cats since I was about 7 years old. I learned from a young age to be responsible for feeding them, cleaning the litter box and giving them all the love they required. I’ve also had dogs including a pup with special needs so I’ve had plenty of experience administering medicine and shots if your pup needs some extra care. I love giving dog walks, playing fetch and snuggling with them. I love and care for all animals and will treat your fur baby as my own. I’m very excited to meet your pup and make sure they are loved as if they were at home. I am currently a full time student taking classes on line so I am home nearly all day. I also live with my husband and one middle aged American bulldog named Zoe. This allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I have a medium sized fenced back yard. I live in a neighborhood next to a great walking path and three schools that have parks for playtime and sidewalks for safety. We have a room where pups can play and mess around without hurting them selves and they are welcome to the entire house unless you prefer they not be. There are no kids or cats and lots of fun toys and balls to chew on and couches to lay on.

“I’ve worked with Kaitlin multiple times now - she’s awesome! She’s reliable and communicative, she’ll hang out with your pets and make sure to send photos :) 10/10 person”


“I felt very comfortable with Lainie caring for Trixie while I'm at work from day one. She's so great with her! She sends adorable pictures of Trixie and receiving them are the best part of my work day!”


About: Growing up surrounded by animals, I’ve had the joy of caring for both dogs and cats my entire life. My experience includes everything from showing dogs in competitions to taking my cat on outdoor adventures, so I understand the unique needs of pets with different personalities and energy levels. I’m skilled in providing attentive care for all ages, from playful puppies to seniors needing extra support. Beyond walks and playtime, I’m always ready for cuddle sessions to make pets feel loved and at ease. My goal is to provide the same warmth and dedication I’d give my own animals, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and valued in my care. I’m currently a first-year medical student. I’m typically available weekday mornings and late afternoons, as well as all day on weekends, making it easy to accommodate regular walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. In clients’ homes, I respect and maintain their pets' usual routines, providing a familiar environment with careful attention to each pet’s unique needs, personality, and comfort preferences. I prioritize their safety by keeping harmful items out of reach, using secure leashes and harnesses on walks, and following any specific feeding or medication instructions precisely.

Ashley W.
“Ashley is quite the do lover. She no only loves dogs but has tons of energy for those who like to be super active. In the time I have known Ashley she has not only watched dogs I've had and done an excellent job but she is also a former foster with a local dog rescue. When fostering with an off transport rescue you rarely know what to expect and Ashley has shown that she can care for many types of dogs of varying temperaments. The most memorable was very anxious and mouthy beagle who was later put on Prozac to help with her temperament and behavior. Ashley fostered Tallulah until she was adopted to later be returned multiple times because people just couldn't deal with the challenge that Ashley was. If I had a personal dog i would not only trust Ashley with its care but not worry because I know she would do anything she could to assure it's comfort and care.”

Courtney W.
“Courtney is a wonderful and responsible pet sitter every time she cares for our crew! We have a large mastiff and pit mix who can be needy, and Courtney is always patient with her and knows when she’s wanting a walk, a treat, or just some extra attention. She’s aware of our 3 cats varying dietary needs and makes sure those are met. And gives them plenty of love and attention as well. We know our pets are always in good hands when Court is caring for them!”




Charlotte M.

Crystal H.
“I’ve known Crystal for 11 years and she has always been a responsible pet owner and would be a great pet sitter. Crystal has had both cats and dogs during the time I’ve known here as well as a turtle! She loved them all. When she lived in Panama she started a meet up group of dog owners so her puppies would have a group of dogs to play with that would meet almost daily. They would even have pet birthday parties! One of Crystals dogs was a stray that she took in and it turned out he had some health issues. Crystal didn’t shy away or surrender the dog, instead she rose to the challenge. She made sure that dog had everything it needed to live as long and as loved as it possibly could. I know she would give him medicine on a daily basis and even administered IV fluids. Crystal is a an animal lover! She makes bandanas for all the neighborhood dogs and sets up play dates for her current dog to play and run around with other dogs. She walks her dog almost religiously, every day, sometimes twice a day. She even started an Instagram for her dog. Her and her husband built an amazing dog house for their dogs with a doggy door, windows and even a deck! She is as loving, caring and responsible of a person as you will find and would make an excellent pet sitter. I’d definitely let her take care of my pets and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy caring pet sitter.”
