About: I’ve had birds, hamsters, turtles and dogs growing up. As an adult and my busy schedule… cats have made their way into my heart and home. I miss being a dog owner and have friends that have them so I get my fix. I switched jobs over a year ago which has given me more time. I work remote 2 days a week but my days in the office are short. My son just graduated HS so I’m starting to have more and more time on my hands so why not spend it with animals! Best way to spend free time! The hardest part of pet sitting is leaving them. Most pets just want love and attention and I hate leaving them alone so they will get my full attention when with them.

About: Outside of my college class schedule, I make myself available to play with animals all day and night. I’ve also grown up with dogs throughout my life - pit mixes, AmStaffs, German Shepherds and hounds. My Mom currently has an American Staffordshire Terrier who I assist with. Large breeds do not scare me and I understand how to be gently dominant. I prefer treat-based training, but understand that their can be other needs on occasion. However, I am firmly against shock collars and will not use them. The longest that I have boarded another dog was for six weeks - a Golden Retriever. I have also regularly my Grandma’s two dogs who were German Shepherds and my uncle's who was a pit mix. I genuinely enjoy both puppies and dogs and gain energy from them. I'm currently enrolled in collage, so I have have a high degree of flexibility to take care of your pets to amke sure their needs are meet. I will provide walks, feedings, petting, playtime, and lots of snuggles. I will make sure that your pets are treated the same way that I would treat my own pets.

“ZaNai went above and beyond taking care of our elderly dog in our home. She gave daily updates, followed up with questions for anything she did not know or wanted to confirm before taking action, and respected our home as if it were her own. We will absolutely rebook with ZaNai in the future and would recommend her to any one seeking in home pet sitting.”



“We truly appreciate everything Marcela did for our girls while we were away. As first time Rover users, we were a bit apprehensive about the whole process but she put us at ease. She sent us lots of photos of our girls where could see that they were happy and immediately bonded with her. She kept us updated with regular messages and provided quick responses to our questions. We would definitely book Marcela again.”

“I highly recommend Katherine! This was our first time using her services, and she definitely met our expectations. She was extremely communicative, followed our specific care instructions to the letter, and took wonderful care of our cat and dog. In her home visit beforehand, she asked specific questions that showed she was listening and cared about corrective care. When we returned, not only were our animals happy to see us, but they seemed completely at ease - as if we’d never left. The house was just as we left it, and she even took care of thoughtful little details, like refilling the water pitcher we use for their bowls. You really can’t ask for more when trusting someone with your pets.”


About: I specialize in caring for senior dogs and puppies, and I love taking them on walks and to the park. I'm passionate about all animals, even reptiles! I work from home, which allows me to provide constant attention and care for pets throughout the day. My schedule includes regular walks, playtime, and frequent check-ins to ensure each pet's needs are met, whether they need exercise or simply a little companionship. In both my home and my client's homes, I prioritize a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I ensure all pets are supervised during walks, play, and rest periods, while creating a stress-free atmosphere by maintaining consistency and routines. Trust is key, so I focus on building strong relationships with both the pets and their owners.

About: Hi, I’m Raquel! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 13 years, and it’s truly something I love with all my heart. Whether it’s going for walks, hanging out at home, or keeping them company while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I know how important it is to feel confident and relaxed when someone’s looking after your pup—that’s why I always go the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved. Big or small, shy or playful—I’ve got experience with all kinds of dogs, and I can’t wait to meet yours! Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I’m currently working just a few hours a week, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons, early evenings, and on weekends to focus on caring for pets. My flexible schedule means I can be there when you need someone most—whether it’s daily walks, weekend stays, or last-minute check-ins. I love being able to spend quality time with dogs and make sure they’re happy, active, and well-loved while you’re away or at work. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible—feeding times, walks, play, and any special instructions you provide. I have experience with senior dogs and understand the extra patience and gentleness they often need. I’m also comfortable giving medications (both oral and topical) and keeping an eye out for any signs of discomfort or changes in behavior. I’m respectful of your space, keep things clean, and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and affection. My goal is to make them feel right at home, whether they’re with me or I’m staying with them!

Jessica as a housesitter did an excellent job caring for our senior dog and large breed dog. Despite the short notice, she was flexible and made time to meet us in person beforehand, which we really appreciated. She took both dogs on walks and handled their needs with care and attention. We felt completely comfortable leaving them in her hands and highly recommend her!

Deborah was amazing with our kitty! She provided loving care and kept us updated regularly on how she was eating, sleeping, and bonding. And we came home from our trip of 2+ weeks to a spotless house. We will definitely look to have Deborah sit again and would highly recommend her!

I highly recommend Katherine! This was our first time using her services, and she definitely met our expectations.

Nina was a lifesaver! After our previously scheduled sitter didn't show, Nina came to the rescue and took wonderful care of Bear and Sunny as well as our home! She communicated with us daily, we loved the videos and photos. It made us feel connected while away! Nina allowed us worryfree time away from home.

This was my first time using Rover, and all I can say is Diana was phenomenal. From the moment we first met, Diana calmed any concern I had about using Rover. She is a true animal lover who took care of my cats as if her own. She communicated daily and sent pictures and videos. Could not ask for a better cat sitter and will definitely continue to use her!
