“Pingping is the best sitter anyone could ever ask for!! She is so kind, attentive, flexible, and always follows instructions. I can’t imagine leaving my cats with anyone else - I highly recommend booking with her!”

“Lindsay did a great job with our two “entitled” cats. It was great to see the photos and know that the cats were having interaction. The cats give her 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and so do we.”

About: I just love spending time and taking care of all animals. My pup is a senior now and can’t take the long walks and hikes we used to do all over the country. I would enjoy taking care of your loves when you may not necessarily have the time to be there with them! I work from home and my BFF Luca a ten year old male cattle dog and I have a consistent schedule, we go out for a walk every four hours. Sometimes just to sniff or stretch our legs! Very flexible. I can adjust to any potty schedule or needs as I work from home. I live a on the first floor and can access outside without the use of any stairs.
“Alex was great with my two cats! She was reliable and sent detailed updates and pictures twice daily. She gave them food, made sure the water fountain was full and scooped both litter boxes. She played with them, gave pets and scratches, and brushed them as well. She went above and beyond to get to know them and understand each cat. She was patient with my scardy cat Milo. It was such a relief to be able to feel at ease, knowing she was there caring for my cats. Both were happy and content when I got home. I highly recommend Alex and would definitely use her again to watch my two cats.”


About: I’ve always had a huge love and passion for all animals and have cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for over five years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I’m attentive, patient, and always prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. My availability is flexible and depends on my work commitments. I only accept bookings when I can dedicate proper time and focus to each pet, ensuring consistent and attentive care. I’m very mindful of safety and structure when caring for pets. I follow routines, monitor behavior closely, and create a calm environment so pets feel secure and comfortable while in my care.
“As always my boys were happy and well cared for. I brag to my friends and relatives about how Amanda at Rover takes the worry away from leaving my boys home. thanks so much”


About: Life long pet owner, foster and caregiver. I’ve trained puppies and provided end of life care for senior dogs. Very comfortable with large dogs and even angry cats because they need love too. Comfortable giving medication as well. I work from home with a very flexible daytime schedule. I am available until 5pm daily. Would be open to chatting about scheduling if more care was needed. I have a large fenced in yard, and a friendly cat. We have lots of toys and a little dog pool. I am clean and respectful when entering your home. I enjoy a long walk almost as much as our furry friends.

About: I am a dog lover through and through. We recently had to say Good Bye to our nearly 16 year old cockapoo and I want to live other people's dogs now! I have watched my friends Goldendoodle on occasion. Most of my dog sitting experience is with my own dogs and for my friends with dogs. I would love to meet and play with your dog! We can play fetch or go for long walks to the park. I will be very protective of your dog and love them as my own. I work two jobs. Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays I am done at 3. Wednesday I am done at 1 and Fridays I am done at 12, on the weekends I am.done with work by 9am. Lots of time for dog walking and drop ins. I am very respectful of peoples homes and I would take wonderful care of your dog. We can work together for a great schedule! I would even take them to local youth games (soccer and baseball) if they are good with people especially children.

“Katherine successfully completed three drop-in visits to feed our cats, provide them with fresh water and scoop their litterboxes. She was on time (which we really appreciate) and cleaned up the dirty cash dishes. We have already requested her for future visits :-)”

About: I have helped foster and take care of over 160 animals since my family started fostering animals when I was 12 years old. As you can imagine, we have had a large variety of animal personalities come through and yet, I still love learning every pet’s new unique traits! I would be happy to give your pet some love and/or exercise until their favorite person (YOU, obviously) come home! I am available to come for a drop-in or dog walk on Saturdays and occasionally on Sundays and Mondays. Feel free to reach out for Saturday care and, if you’re curious about doing Sunday and/or Monday consecutively as well, we can chat, thank you! When I go to a clients home, whether it’s for the 1st time or the 30th, I will always see how the pet is doing. If they’re nervous I want to make sure they feel comfortable enough to trust me, especially if we’re going out of the house to walk! If you have a routine that your pet is used to, let me know and I will do my best to follow it. I want to cater to you and your pets needs :)

“Highly recommend Kim for your pet sitting needs. She took wonderful care of my cats while I was on vacation. She cleaned out the wet food dishes to ensure they didn't leave an odor, followed all of my instructions, and also went above and beyond to clean up after one of my cats who got an upset tummy while I was away. I will definitely be rebooking with Kim for my next pet setting needs. Thanks so much, Kim!!!!”


About: I will give them much love and attention, and keep them healthy and excited! I use to teach my dogs how to sit and stay, well I think anyone can do that but it's all about having fun with it! I'm looking for a little exciment and it will be a great experience with dogs since all they want to do is have lots of fun! I'm available weekends and nights and morning I tutor a first grader twice a week but anything than that I'm available to have fun with your dog. I had up to 3 dogs at one point and they were very hyper and outgoing so I loved taking them on walks and playing fetch in the yard. I loved animals since I was young so your pet would be great to take care of. I work in the medical field and work 7-3:30. Would love to walk after work, I'm usually free on the weekends! I would love to gain more experience outside mt home I have a fenced in backyard and keep my dogs close when going on walks and taking breaks when needed. Safety is my main priority!

“Juli was a perfect dog sitter. Mac took to her right away. She took him for walks and took very good care of him and he was healthy and happy when we got home. I would definitely hire her again. Thanks much!”

About: Hi! I’m Carly! I’m currently in my last semester of my (second-career) nursing program and spending my summer doing something I genuinely love: spending time with dogs! After losing my sweet 13-year-old dog, I’ve really missed having dogs in my daily life. Rover feels like the perfect way to combine my love for animals, staying active, and helping busy pet parents feel confident their dogs are cared for. I’m dependable, responsible, attentive, and very focused on safety and wellbeing. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I treat every dog with patience, affection, and respect for their unique personality and needs. I’m currently offering dog walks and drop-in visits, and I’d love to help give your dog exercise, companionship, attention, and lots of love while you’re away! I’m fairly flexible this summer since I’m currently in my last semester of nursing school and only working part time as a phlebotomist. I’m available most days and at a variety of times throughout the day for walks or drop-in visits. If your dog does best with a consistent routine or set day each week, I’m happy to accommodate that as well! Weekends can be a little more limited, but feel free to reach out and check my availability. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is safety, trust, and a calm environment for your dog. I respect your space and privacy and follow all instructions closely, including routines and feeding schedules. I make sure doors are securely locked, leashes are used properly, and your home is kept safe and as I found it. I focus on keeping your pet comfortable and low-stress while you’re away, paying attention to their needs and giving them plenty of care and reassurance. Above all, I treat your home and pet with respect and responsibility, just as I would expect for my own.
“Elizabeth was a fantastic sitter for our 19 year old cat. She was happy and content when we arrived home. She is usually anxiety ridden even when left for several hours. Elizabeth is a cat whisperer. Thank you so very much. Think Sienna misses her.”
