Kaci was awesome with our kitties while we were out of town! She sent us photos, and you can see how the cats progressively got more comfortable and happier with her. She was really easy to set up a meet and greet - and kept in constant communication! I highly recommended her for you fur babies! ❤️

Stacey was great. Took care of my fur baby while I was out of town. Everything went well. My baby was fed and watered and litter box clean and I had no worries. Loved getting the pictures and little report cards.

About: Since I can remember as a little girl, I’ve always had a passion & drive to take care of animals and really interact & get to know them. Each has their own personality that are just so fun to explore. From as small as anoles and 3 week old kittens, up to as big as Great Danes & large parrots, I’ve cared for everything and I love getting to know each pet! Currently, my schedule is free! Looking to try to get into this full time, but anything dealing with animals is my focus! My schedule is very open right now and i’m open to anytimes! I will definitely get to know your pet first, go slow with them and just build a positive, playful rapport with them so they truly get to trust me. Anything you or your pet needs, please let me know and I definitely am so willing to make it happen! I care that your pet is comfortable and happy with me!!

About: If you have a puppy or a dog that needs a little extra help getting down the basics of sit, wait, leave it, come, or has trouble walking on the leash; i am your doggy savior! I do all my walks using the lose leash method, meaning the dog is more in "heel" then pulling or trailing behind. I love walking on hiking paths and trails as well as city and community walks. I always bring treats, water, and poop bags on my walks! I have an Australian labradoodle, Kingsley who is my service dog and loves other dogs! If you're interested in socializing your pup can have a playdate, he is a great friend. I can fully handle dogs of all sizes and ages and will follow all instructions left by you. I am trustworthy, reliable, and time and have a car, so I will be able to get to you, no problem. I work from home and love animals! Happy to play, train, and walk dogs. I have been pet sitting for 11 years and am very honest and loyal. I care for pets in clients home, walk, playtime, and offer puppy training. I thoroughly enjoy connecting with animal and supporting families. Please reach out if this seems to be a good fit :)

We brought our 4 month old Sharpei with us on vacation and wanted to spend the day at an amusement park with our human kids. We couldn’t leave him alone all day, but luckily we found Andrea on Rover.

About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes ranging from weens to rotties. I have experience training puppies up to 2-ish years on basic commands, crate training, and socialization. I dont mind spending time walking around the block, throwing the ball for extended periods of time, or lying next to them for a period of time so that they feel loved, heard, and cared for. I do not groom. but if doggo needs a bath or brushing, I can give them a bath and brush. Our family is a poodle family, so I know the importance of keeping up with brushing. I also have cat experience. Almost 10 years ago, the Cat Distribution System of the Universe granted me Tigger, my Maine Coon. Though her, I learned how much cats genuinely better our lives. I love all furbabies and will make sure that they are well cared for when you are away. I am a teacher by day and a pet sitter by night. I am available between the hours of 4pm and 7am, with fairly open availability on weekends and holidays. I can house sit during the week while I work in the school, coming back on my lunch and planning period to spend time with your fur baby, if you are comfortable with that, also pending distance from the school. Feel free to reach out. Since I live in an apartment, I am unable to take your baby to my home. Rest assured, I will make sure that your pooch is walked (pooped and peed), loved, fed, watered, medicated (if required/needed), and safe. My priority is your baby. I treat all furbabies like they were my own, so that means they come first on my visit.

I am super happy to have found her on Rover; she is communicative, responsible, and loving with my pets. She stayed in contact and answered every question I had about them. I will definitely hire her again—I hope she never leaves Rover! I recommend her 100%.

About: I am a compassionate and dependable animal lover who has spent the past eight years caring for my own pet with dedication and heart. My love for animals goes beyond responsibility—it’s a genuine passion rooted in patience, attentiveness, and kindness. I take pride in making sure every animal in my care will feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My special bond with my support dog, Bella, reflects the deep connection I build with animals, treating them as family. Anyone can feel confident knowing their pets are in caring and capable hands with me. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available to stop by for playtime, feeding, walks, or pet sitting—whatever you need. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! Safety, trust, and your pet’s comfort are always my top priorities. I’m happy to follow whatever routine makes you feel most at ease in the comfort of your home. Whether that’s spending quality time giving your pet lots of love and attention or safely crating them when needed. I make sure pets are fed, exercised with nice long walks, and given time to play and relax. No matter what you’re looking for, I will always care for your pet with patience, responsibility, and genuine love.

About: Hi! My name is Camryn and I'm 24 years old. I'm a responsible, calm, and caring person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and creating a peaceful home environment. I recently graduated and am coming back for summer break after playing professional volleyball in Europe. I’m disciplined, reliable, and used to maintaining routines — which I know is especially important when it comes to pets feeling safe and comfortable. I'm also very respectful of other people's homes. I keep spaces clean, organized, and well cared for, and I approach house sitting with the mindset that I'm looking after something important to someone else, because I know how much trust that takes. l'd love the opportunity to care for your home and pets and make sure everything runs smoothly while you're gone. I love house and pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. My schedule is super flexible and I also enjoy having a routine and spending time in new places in a more local, relaxed way, it's a great fit for my personality. I care for pets by creating a calm, consistent, and safe environment that matches their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any specific care instructions (like medication or special diets).

About: Since I was little I have always had pets. Started with two dogs, then bunny rabbits, cats, and more dogs! Around 2012 is when we were down to 1 dog and 1 rabbit and decided we were going to work with a local shelter and be foster parents to make sure these pups found a great home and were trained and nourished before the went. We have fostered from puppies to a few years old of all different kinds of dogs. With having pets all my life and my sister being a vet to give me advice, I feel that I am capable of being a reliable caregiver to your pets as well! I currently just moved to Florida to complete my degree in physician assistant studies. This is will be the most difficult thing I have ever done and will not have time for a full time job. Being able to provide times that I am available is extremely convenient for my grueling schedule of graduate school. I am available all week days just about until school starts and I get a routine down. I think its a great idea to take dogs on as many walks as much as possible to socialize when they can. Taking them for walks or even to a park/fenced in field is a great way I like to take care of my pup. All I ask is that you let me know if they are good with other animals.
