“I have 2 guinea pigs and Claire was fantastic! Super quick at responding and always on time. I’ll definitely book again the next time I’m out of town. Thank you for keeping my little hippos happy 😊”
“Courtney B did a fabulous job looking after a very skiddish feral cat. She was able to work very well with the kitty and made sure food was available for her while I was out of town. I would certainly have Courtney help again!”
“Kim took great care of our cats with daily treats and pets. She also fed our fish, brought in our mail and brought up our trash can that we had left at the curb. She went above and beyond for us and was available to us very last minute. Kim thank you for watching our fur family for us! 10/10 recommend!”
“Katelyn took excellent care of my two cats. She played with them and kept their areas clean. She was very responsive in our communications too. I would definitely book Katelyn again.”
“Isabella was great. She came three days to feed my cat Gerald. She was so patient with him as he can be very shy and is scared of new people. She even played with him and sent a few videos and photos. I would definitely recommend her and would book with her again in the future.”
“Nadia is a gem. She was wonderful at watching my fur babies and they don’t take easily to just anybody. She was kind, patient, and very transparent about what went well and what was a challenge. In the end, Nadia was able to get my Coffee to warm up to her. I will definitely call her again.”
About: I stand out because I truly treat every pet like family. I have experience with all types of dogs and cats, including rescues and anxious pets. I’m reliable, attentive to details, and trained in basic pet first aid—always making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I stay flexible to meet each pet’s needs and keep their routine consistent and stress-free. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely to keep things familiar and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and love, and I always keep the home clean and secure. I pay attention to details like medication schedules, special diets, or behavior quirks to ensure each pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Hello! As your pet sitter, I bring experience, reliability, and a genuine love for animals to every home I visit. I have specialized experience caring for senior pets, understanding their unique needs, from administering medications to providing gentle exercise and extra affection. I am attentive to signs of discomfort or health changes and always prioritize their comfort and well-being. With patience and compassion, I create a safe, calm environment where older pets feel secure and loved. I have experience with every stage from puppy/kitten to senior fur babies. While my schedule does change weekly, the good news is that I have my availability planned out for the next four to five weeks. This means I can provide you with clear, reliable scheduling ahead of time to help make planning easier for both of us. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special care instructions. I take the time to build trust with the pet, offering plenty of affection, attention, and gentle handling, especially with senior or shy animals. I also keep the home environment clean and secure, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and provide regular updates to the pet owner for peace of mind.
About: I've grown up with animals all my life. Im comfortable with anything, from cats to all sizes of dogs. My family currently owns six dogs and six cats, ranging from elderly to special needs, so I'm definitely up-to-date on my skills! I've worked as a veterinary technician assistant for a emergency veterinary clinic so I'm comfortable with administering medications including under the skin injections and pills. Depending on the temperament of dog (or cat!) I'm more than willing to provide a pedicure during my stay! I also aim to provide check-in's and walks in addition to overnight care. I'm disabled and unable to work a normal 9-5, but your pet will recieve top quality care and plenty of attention. That being said, my schedule is very flexible. For most if not all jobs I'm available seven days a week with Thursdays and Sundays being my most tricky. Mid-mornings to early afternoons normally work better for me for check-ins and walks. I'm disabled and unable to work a normal 9-5 job, but I can guarantee top quality care. Whether it's hanging out at home or getting a pup cup, I'll be sure to update you regularly. Any rules or boundaries will be respected during long stays and I will pick up after both myself and your pet.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid. Loving on them and caring for them from a puppy through the end of their lives. My little guy is loving and social and looking for friends. I’m currently working part time and remotely with a very flexible schedule. I will have plenty of availability to provide care for your furry family members. I have a one level home with a fenced back yard. I also have an elderly boxer mix and a year and a half old Cavapoo that’s looking for playmates. We do have 2 cats as well that might peek their heads out from time to time.
About: I grew up with a few of childhood dogs and currently I am the owner of one beloved cat. I've taken care of seniors and babies alike, with different personalities, needs and quirks. I like to learn specifically each detail of their established routine and pay attention to any special instructions for their family so that their beloved pet will be most comfortable. I love animals and look forward to care for them in each and every job. My weekly schedule often fluctuates. I tend to prefer working in pet care towards the afternoon/evenings, but I may be available for a couple of select mornings as well. I also have availability on weekends. I don't mind checking in on them twice a day as well. For dog care I am available to care for them in their own home and check on them twice a day for those who are out of town depending on the service requested. I can also transport them to a dog park or walk in town upon request. For cat care, I am available for both in-home care and also keeping them in my own home, the only requirement being that they are comfortable around other domestic cats as there are four currently in my home. Otherwise I am flexible with specific instructions/routines.
About: We are a fun filled house who loves playing with our pups inside and outdoors! We have had dogs as a part of our family since I can remember. We love the active pup who wants to play and take walks just as much as the snuggliest of pups who enjoy nothing more than a lazy night on the couch. My husband and I are currently both working from home. Allowing us maximum time with pups for all the walks, playtime and snuggles. Kids are active in sports so they will be in and out of the house. We have a fenced in backyard with two friendly pups who love to play! We are big into our time outside on the patio and playtime with the toys. We have family over a lot with their dogs so our two are used to being around other dogs and get along with everyone!
About: I will take care of any pet. I have taken care of cats and dogs but have no animal limits. I will make your your pets are happiest! Pet care is currently my full time job. Feel free to ring me up anytime day or night for your pet care needs. Truly 24 hours I give fresh water and food every day. I will pet them and play with them if they want, or leave them alone if they want to be left alone.
“Rebecca was fantastic. Great communication from start to finish and even alerted us about ants getting into a new auto feeder for our cats and helped rectify the issue. Food and litter areas were left clean. Great job!!”

Kenslie R.
“To Whom It May Concern, I’m thrilled to recommend Kenslie R. as a pet sitter and dog walker on Rover.com. As Kenslie’s close friend, I’ve seen firsthand their genuine love for animals and dedication to their care. Kenslie is the person everyone turns to for pet care in our community. Pets naturally gravitate towards them, showing excitement and trust. Kenslie is not only affectionate but also highly responsible, ensuring each pet’s unique needs are met. For example, Kenslie once cared for a neighbor’s dog, Max, who needed daily medication and a strict feeding schedule. Kenslie handled Max’s routine perfectly, providing the necessary care along with companionship and playtime, which noticeably improved Max’s mood. Kenslie is reliable and handles unexpected situations calmly, always prioritizing the pets’ safety and comfort. Their punctuality and communication skills offer pet owners peace of mind when they’re away. In short, Kenslie R. is an exceptional pet sitter and dog walker. Their passion for animals, responsibility, and compassionate approach make them an ideal choice for Rover.com. I wholeheartedly recommend Kenslie to any pet parent seeking trustworthy and loving care for their furry family members. Sincerely, [courtney burgess]”
Ashley L.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our dog Max receives from Ashley. From the very first walk, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and treat each pet like their own. Max is always excited to see her and comes back happy and well-exercised every time. Ashley is punctual, reliable, and goes above and beyond! It gives me such peace of mind knowing Max is in such great hands. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker! Because of this support we have found from Ashley when we are at work we are thinking of getting a second doggie 🐶 10/10 would recommend Ashley!”
