“I left Kota with her for the day while at work and she kept me updated and made sure to give him attention. I got picture and video updates while at work and had an easy drop-off and pick-up. Would definitely recommend her and go back to her in the future!”


“Erin took care Neo very well. Seems Neo was happy Neo had a great time with Erin and her two dogs.. He seems to be very happy during his stay. I thank Erin to look after Neo. Definitely I would use her again for sure.”


About: I started my journey working at a doggy care, interacting, playing with, care the dogs. For the last couple years, I have been at the animal shelter. I have experience in emergency medical care for both cats and dogs. Your pet will be safe with me, in every way. I can give you peace of mind. I work a 1st shift full time job currently. My routine and been built to accommodate my own pets needs, enrichement. It has been pretty easy to include other kids into this routine successfully. I deal with each animal in the unique way they need. I have one dog that is not kenneled, while my youngest is when she is going to be left alone for a couple hours. I have a wonderfully structured house that has allowed to me to keep dogs separate when needed and need constant supervision.


“Jason was fantastic! He responded quickly when I sent out a request and followed up when I was not able to get a response from another sitter. He is very conscientious and had great questions to get to know Indy. He is experienced with huskies, having one of his own. He was super nice and accommodating, when we didn't know exactly how long Indy would be there (he boarded him when my husband was having surgery). We will definitely be using Jason again!”


“Ashleigh’s level of care was amazing. She sent so many pictures while we were away and kept us informed often on how our dogs’ days were going. The way she described each of our dogs’ personalities and daily habits matched perfectly to how they are at home which reassured me that our dogs felt comfortable and at ease in her home. Will absolutely be using Ashleigh again without hesitation.”


“Paul and his son did an amazing job caring for my dog! I felt like we were long lost friends by the time I left when I dropped Kitty off because they are so personable and kind! Paul sent videos and kept in contact with me throughout her stay. Paul went above and beyond by making Kitty some homemade food when I miscalculated and she ran out. I would hands down recommend Paul to anyone looking for a sitter that pays individual attention to your fur baby!”


About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire life and I’m currently working as a kennel assistant/weekend boarding manager. I’ve also worked as a veterinary assistant so I am well equipped to handle all pets of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I’m currently working part time so my schedule is pretty flexible. I work at a doggy daycare in the mornings on Monday, Tuesday, and Fridays, and 7-11 + 2-5 on weekends. I am available for pet/house sitting on weekends if you and your pet(s) are comfortable with my schedule. Weekdays are very flexible for me. At the clients home i will walk them or let out in a fenced yard whatever is available to make sure your pet is well cared for. For yards I will pick up any waste your pet leaves behind. I am also more than happy to take your dog for a walk around a trail or neighborhood or wherever U would like me to.

About: Hi there! I’m Jamie, and if I’m being honest... I love animals more than humans most days. With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for everything from puppies to parrots—and even the occasional goat—I’ve built a life around making animals feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether you're headed out of town or just need a hand with your furry (or feathery, or scaly) family members, I'm here to make things easier for both you and your beloved creature friends. My goal? Zero stress for you, and tail wags, purrs, or chirps of joy for them. 🐶🐱🐥 Who I Care For: I care for all kinds of animal companions, including: Dogs (all ages & sizes) Cats (sassy to snuggly) Birds (my personal favorite!) Reptiles & Amphibians Rodents, Rabbits, Goats, Chickens... you name it! If they’re not human and you love them—I want to care for them. 🐕 Dog Experience: Puppies: potty training, basic commands, playtime! Seniors: medication, gentle physical therapy, stroller walks (yes, I have one!) Experience with dogs from 8–85 lbs and ages 2 months to 17 years 🐈 Cat Experience: Comfortable with all cat personalities (aloof, cuddly, spicy) Experience with elderly and sick cats, including medication administration 🐦 Bird Experience: Over 2 years of bird care experience Former bird rescuer & re-releaser (yep, I caught lost birds in buildings!) Passionate about bird behavior, feeding, handling, and enrichment 🦎 Amphibian & Reptile Experience: Experience with frogs, toads, turtles, and even an axolotl Open and eager to follow your specific care routines 🐾 Other Critters: I may not have decades of experience with rodents, bunnies, chickens, or goats—but I follow instructions to a T and learn fast. If you tell me what your animal needs, I’ll make sure it’s done right—with love and care. 💬 My Care Philosophy: Every animal is unique—and so is every pet parent. I never assume I know better than you when it comes to your pet's needs. I’ll love your animal like family, but I’ll always respect your rules, routines, and preferences. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and compassionate. 🌟 New to Rover, Not New to Animals While I’m just starting out on Rover, I bring decades of animal experience and a deep love for every creature I meet. Give me a chance, and I promise—you’ll be able to relax knowing your animal companions are in caring, capable hands. Let’s chat about how I can help make life a little easier—for you and your creature friends. 🐾💛 I’m currently not working and I’m ready to be there to play with your pups or other critters when you need me. I can generally respond to last minute requests if necessary, but appreciate as much of heads up as possible. I have a fenced in yard, one small, elderly and kind of cranky dog, two cats, and three teenage humans (who all love animals as much as I do!). When it comes to caring for your pets in my home, I have to be a little more discerning as I have the needs of my own animal friends to consider. I can care for potty trained, non-dominant, non-aggressive, and very calm dogs and cats in my home. I can also care for caged or tanked creature friends in my home.

About: I love pets and I will take care of yours as if they’re my own! I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life; I can adapt my care to various needs because I know every pet is different! I was raised in a home with two cats and two dogs, so it was a small zoo! It was at a young age that I learned how to clean a litter box and how to clean up the dog waste in the yard, so nothing like that scares me off! I also have been taking care of others' pets since I was in elementary school! Primarily, my pet care experience has been with cats and dogs, but I have no trouble following instructions if you have a different kind of pet! I'd love the chance to love your pets! My current work hours fluctuate right now, but my current availability is: Mon-Thur as early as you need me until 3:45pm. I'm available after 9pm. Friday is entirely available Saturday I'm working 10am-2:30pm. Sunday is entirely available I always make sure to respect an animal’s space and boundaries until they clearly indicate they are comfortable with me. I never assume an animal is friendly until they show it!

“Nova had great time staying with Isaac and his family for a long weekend. He and his daughter were wonderful caretakers of Nova! We received updates and pictures throughout the day, which is always nice! They were incredibly accommodating with our changing schedule. They spoiled her with treats and walks. We will definitely be reaching out again next time we need someone!”


“Sana bonded with Caleb immediately! She took Caleb on 2-3 walks daily,and always made sure he had is treats!! Even took him to get a pup cup!! Sana gave us daily texts and pictures of Caleb. Sana went well above and beyond in care of Caleb, will definitely use her again!”


“The stay was excellent. Great home and sitters. We were a bit concerned that our older and sometimes grumpy dog wouldn't get along with their dog Ivy. But Ivy was so relaxed and chill that it made the stay even better than we expected.”


“Smitri and her family are just simply the best. Our pup loves them. We trust them. Every time we have chosen to keep our pup with Smirti has been great! Such good peace of mind.”


About: I’ve been watching friends and family pets for about 15 years now. Enjoy playing with dogs and cats alike. Experience from 1 year old puppies to 10+ year old dogs. I am available most weekends along with Fridays and Mondays. I’m always running errands in the community and can provide drop in services at this time. :) I have a puppy that is 3 years old and loves making new friends. We would provide services in your home multiple times a day

“We left Thor with them for a week while we went on our family vacation, great people and took really good care of him while we were gone. Sent updates and photos of how he was doing and Thor settled in really quickly with them. Very clean and comfortable boarding for your pet. I highly recommend using them, I know we will when we take our next vacation. Thanks again DL and Libby for treating him like he was one of yours!”


“Ali was awesome! This was my first time leaving my pup with a dog sitter on rover, and Ali helped ease my worries. She kept me updated on my pup and sent lots of photos. She was also very sweet and understanding about my dog’s quirks (aka her barking). Would definitely recommend to others who need their dog watched for a few days! I look forward to taking my pup back to Ali’s whenever I have to go out of town!”


“Trish was amazing with Murphy, our 11 month old Lab. We had never left him with anyone other than doggy daycare and she made sure we had all our questions answered before and during his Monday-Friday stay! She gave us lots of updates, pics and videos and were pretty sure he would have stayed there forever!! We will be using her every time she lets us :)”


About: I’ve had small pets (cats, hamsters, bunnies) most of my life. I always wanted a dog but my parents wouldn’t let me and when I was an adult my husband didn’t want a dog. Now that I don’t live with my parents and don’t have a husband, I have a dog! Best decision and friend I ever made. Luna and I try to stay on the move as much as possible while the weather is nice and when it’s not, we play games inside! I’m currently not working and all my time can be devoted to enjoying your pet in our home and on our sunny day adventures. We do attend dog parks and would like to have some friends join us on occasions! I have a fenced in yard and have seatbelts to hook up in my truck (harness not provided) for outings if chosen to participate. I take a lot of pictures of my Luna while we are on adventures and would love to take some of your pet to share with you as well!
