About: I love animals of all kinds and look forward to getting to know your unique pet! My first animal friends were cats, but my circle quickly grew to include snakes, then dogs, and more recently other invertebrates like spiders and scorpions! While I don't have personal experience caring for birds, I am an avid bird watcher and would love to learn how to take care of an indoor feathered friend. I have experience with young pets, old pets, and pets with chronic illness. I have a very flexible schedule and am available on both weekdays and weekends. Late morning, afternoon, and evenings preferred. I can accommodate single or multi-night pet/house-sitting. I understand all animals have unique needs and personalities and I look forward to learning how best to care for your pet in your home!!

About: I work as a client service supervisor at a vet. I have had dogs all my life and care for my friend's pets when they are away! I have one bunny and two cats. I am patient and love taking care of animals! I am outgoing and super friendly! I have a calm and loving personality and will do my best to make your pet feel comfortable around my presence. I work a flex schedule at the vet 5 days a week. Some of those days I work more into the evening while the other days are earlier in the mornings. I have one bunny and two cats. It depends if your pet is friendly with other animals. My bunny has his own separate room and my cats can be put in the room with the bunny if need be.

“Kyle really came through for my girls and I in a pinch. Their regular sitter was not available for a weekend beach trip I had planned and we put our trust in another awesome human. He showed up for a meet and greet and my spicy, anxious ridden rescue took to him fairly quickly. We were all happy he was able to stay overnight. My girls usually dont do well with being left alone more than one night. I had updates when I needed and I came home to my place the way I left it. Would definitely use Kyle again.”


“Alexis took good care of my critter crew. She followed my(many!) instructions to a tee and updated me twice each day. Everyone and everything was in good shape when we returned. Thank you Alexis!🐾”


“Julie is top notch. She sent us pictures and updates everyday. Made sure to let me know how much Blake ate and drank while we were gone. Our house looked exactly the way we left it when we got home. I have already recommended her to family and friends. Thank you again Julie Tammy, Scott and Blake ❤️”


“Nadia was great! She sent a bunch of updates and pictures and our pup looked happy and healthy when we got home. She also left our apartment looking exactly the way we left it. We would definitely book with her again!”


About: About Me Hi, I’m Pam! I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all breeds—puppies to seniors—and treat every pet as family. I’m organized, caring, and deeply dependable, and I’d be honored to care for your pup. Why Choose Me? Flexible & Present: I work from home and dedicate undivided attention to each pet—companionship is always there. Routine-Focused: I follow your pet’s normal routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play sessions—to help them feel at ease. Why I Love Pet Sitting Dogs and cats have been part of my life forever—I can’t imagine not having at least one around! I balance caring for pets with raising my son—I’m home, present, and fully engaged. We’re warmly present at all times—your pet will be with company and attention throughout their care. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to making your pet feel right at home! 1. Adhere to Your Pet’s Regular Routine As an effective sitter, I stick closely to your pet’s feeding, walking, and activity schedules to reduce stress and help them feel at ease. Consistency makes all the difference—pets thrive on familiarity and structure. 2. Lean on Written Schedules & Reminders I rely on alarms, digital reminders, or a shared care document outlining feeding times, walks, and medication schedules. Detailed care plans—not just verbal instructions—help ensure nothing is overlooked. 3. Balance Walks, Play, and Mental Stimulation Your pup will enjoy walks in the morning and evening, play sessions in the yard or with toys, and brain games like puzzles or training drills. This balanced mix keeps pets physically active and mentally engaged, which is a hallmark of personalized, attentive care. 4. Clear Communication with Owners I provide updates via text, photos, or videos—tailored to your preference. Whether you'd like a daily summary or only updates if something important comes up, I'll make sure our communication fits what works best for you. Clear, consistent updates help build trust and peace of mind. 1. Create a Secure, Pet‑Safe Environment I prioritize safety by pet-proofing all areas—tucking away loose items, securing small objects, and removing anything toxic within reach. I supervise pets at all times, even in fenced yards, and avoid assuming familiarity protects against escapes or mishaps. 2. Use Barriers and Supervision for Added Security To prevent accidental exits, I employ secondary barriers—like baby gates or exercise pens—when entering or exiting through doors. Even in clients’ homes, I discuss acceptable barrier use ahead of time to ensure safety. 3. Establish Safe Boundaries & Routines I maintain separate feeding areas and “own spaces” for each pet to avoid tension and provide comfort. Cleanliness and routine are central—each pet has its own safe zone, whether in my home or yours- 4. Meet & Greet for Confidence and Preparedness I always recommend a Meet & Greet before booking—this gives us a chance to establish comfort and go over logistics such as key access, gate codes, and safe entry routes. It also helps me anticipate quirky behaviors and preferences that enhance care. 5. Respecting Your Home & Access Protocols When caring for pets in your home, I ensure a secure access plan—whether through tested codes, spare keys, or lockboxes—and always return keys promptly. I conduct perimeter checks to confirm gates are closed, trash secured, and hazardous zones off-limits. 6. Open, Tailored Communication Builds Trust I’ll work with you to determine your preferred update style—daily summaries, photo check-ins, or notes only if something unusual occurs. Consistent, clear communication not only reassures you, but also ensures your pet’s care is seamless. 7. Emergency Preparedness Included I keep emergency contact info—including vets, local animal hospitals, and your trusted contacts—on hand. I’m prepared to act quickly and responsibly in case of illness or safety concerns. 8. Built‑In Assurance through Rover’s Standards As part of the Rover community, I’ve passed a comprehensive background check and adhere to Rover’s Trust & Safety protocols, including the Rover Guarantee and responsive booking protection. Our communications always stay within the platform to ensure transparency and security.

About: Animals are too good for humankind, so they should be treated like absolute royalty. I grew up with cats and had a small but successful dog-walking and pet-sitting business in my neighborhood growing up. I am more than happy to treat your pet as if they were my own <3 I am currently unemployed and searching for a new job, but in the meantime, outside of my rugby schedule, I am available to take care of your pets! To make sure your pet feels as comfortable as possible while you are away, I would love to learn their typical routine at home and their interests!

“I was very pleased with my pet sitting service. Matt was very nice and took great care of my Rosie while I was away. Unfortunately Rosie got a bout of diarrhea after a couple days from the stress and anxiety of me being away. Sorry Matt, I didn’t know the separation anxiety would pan out that way. I will definitely be calling Matt next time I need a pet sitter! Thank you again”


“Ariel did an amazing job of watching over our dogs and house while we were away. My senior dogs were relaxed and happy and she provided picture and video updates through the week. When we returned, the house was spotless and as if she had never even been here! Thank you Ariel! I highly recommend her services!”


“Katie was absolutely phenomenal with my dogs! One of them wasn’t feeling their best unexpectedly, and she went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and cared for. She was so attentive, thoughtful, and kept me updated every step of the way. You can truly see how much she loves animals and how naturally it comes to her. My dogs adored her, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. Katie is a well-rounded, responsible, and compassionate young woman—I can’t recommend her enough. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for amazing pet care!”


“Brianna was great with my cat, Geralt. He's normally very skittish and wary of new people, but she had him being his normal self in just a couple of days. Great communication throughout the sit and went above/beyond for my return to both Geralt and my apartment. Highly recommend and look forward to rebooking with her when needed again. Thank you!”


“Caitlin is a keeper. She's prompt, informative, and great with our anxious fur baby. Caitlin kept us updated with frequent pics and texts. Our home was immaculate! She even got the mail!”

Johnnessa K.
“Johnnessa is a loving and caring person. She has had pets her whole life and has always taken the time to love and care for them. One instance Johnnessa found a stray pit bull and immediately took the time to make the dog feel secure enough for her to take her in her car. She did not want to take the dog home in case it was I'll or would hurt her dogs at home. She found a hotel that would accept dogs and stayed up with the dog all night to make sure the dog was safe and comfortable. She then took the dog to a vet the next day to try and see if the vet would find the owners and make sure the dog was not hurt . Johnnessa has also volunteered at the SPCA and takes the time to collect donations for the SPCA. Noone would be disappointed should they have Johnnessa care for their pet!”

Braeden was incredible with my dog, cat, and fish!! He even got the mail, watered the flowers, and took out the trash - and I didn't even ask him to!! He communicated very well (and often) and sent lots of photos. I would use him again. I highly recommend him!

Tara was great with our little girl!!! This is only the second time we had to leave Puds home while we traveled and the update with pictures reassured us she was being cared for. I would definitely have Tara come again and would recommend Tara for anyone that needs a sitter.

Jen was great with our dog Lincoln! He’s getting older and needs some extra attention with in-home therapy treatments as well, and Jen was helpful in doing those with him during her in-home stay. She kept us updated each day and also left the house in great shape when she left!

Needed last minute help watching our dogs/cats, one being a cane corso and the other a lab. Going away for a week is never easy with these 2. This was my first time using rover and Marion and we will definitely be using her again! No issues at all and got updates throughout the week!

Yet again during a stressful time dealing with a family funeral, having Sarah watch my babies I was able to relax knowing that Loki, Kira and Bandit were in good hands. I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone who loves their babies and wants someone who will love and care for your babies too.

Evan is absolutely fantastic!! we have a very skittish and sensitive large dog that when we leave needs to have somebody with her all of the time. We were able to leave for our trip feeling comfortable having Evan looking after her and staying in our home. He listened to everything that we had to say, and was able to take care of all of our dogs needs, including her daily medication with no problem. We will absolutely be going back to Evan anytime we are in need of somebody to look after our sweet but sensitive dog!

Brianna was great with my cat, Geralt. He's normally very skittish and wary of new people, but she had him being his normal self in just a couple of days. Great communication throughout the sit and went above/beyond for my return to both Geralt and my apartment. Highly recommend and look forward to rebooking with her when needed again. Thank you!

Kristina is great. Very willing to help. She showed up on time, followed the instructions, and sent pictures throughout her time here, specifically of him outside, eating dinner, and placed back in his crate before she left. I will definitely ask her for help again in the future.
