Kyani was excellent. Extremely responsive and responsible with our dogs. She was super easy to work with and even helped arrange taking our dogs to boarding at my request. I will absolutely rebook with her next time I need pet care. Very personable and obviously a dog lover.

This is my first time using Rover for my senior dog and Keena is wonderful. She has always been on time, takes him for the full time booked and Charlie is happy when she brings him back. I will continue to use her.

Annamaria has been great! Charlie seems to really like her, and she’s been able to get him out of the house every visit so far - he can sometimes be a bit stubborn and refuse to get up lol. I’m very happy with the service so far, and definitely plan to continue having her work with Charlie.

Rebekah has taken Oli for a long walk for the first time and it went great! It makes us feel so much better when we are stuck at work and know that our fur baby is in good hands, safe, and getting her needs met. Rebekah took plenty of pictures and updated us on how the walk went. We hope to have Rebekah taking care of Oli again and would definitely recommend her to other fur parents! We could tell she genuinely loves dogs and prioritizes their safety.

Jamie is fantastic. I have a Dalmatian who does not like strangers and he came for a meet and greet and was really patient and knew exactly how to handle and react to her behavior. They were best pals in no time. I use him for 5x a week walks and he always sends pictures and notes about their trip. Very responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend.

I'm currently working part time and am self employed. My schedule is flexible on a day to day basis, and I'm available for last minute bookings.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the level of care, attentiveness, and protection I provide to every dog as if they were my own. I have experience working with young puppies who need patience, structure, and consistency with basic training and routines, as well as senior dogs who require gentle handling, medication management, and close monitoring. Safety is always my top priority I am highly observant on walks, mindful of surroundings, and proactive in preventing any potential risks. I understand canine body language, which helps me anticipate needs and avoid stressful situations. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behaviors, sticking to a detailed feeding schedule, or providing calm companionship for anxious pets, I create a secure and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and protected. Owners can trust that their pets are not only cared for, but truly looked after with responsibility, awareness, and genuine affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially as an incoming medical student with a flexible study schedule. While my classes are structured, I have built-in breaks throughout the day that allow me to step away, reset, and give pets the attention they need. Studying also provides flexibility, since I can organize my time around walks, feeding schedules, play sessions, and check-ins. I value balance and know how important movement and fresh air are, so taking a dog out for a walk or spending time engaging with them fits seamlessly into my day. When I’m studying, pets stay in a safe, calm environment where they can relax comfortably nearby. Being in a rigorous academic program has strengthened my time management skills, responsibility, and attentiveness — qualities that directly translate into providing reliable, consistent, and safe care for every dog I look after. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In my home, pets stay in a clean, calm, and secure environment with constant supervision, scheduled walks, and plenty of attention. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and rest to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all provided instructions, respect the space, and keep pets on their normal schedule to ensure stability. I’m attentive to behavior changes, mindful of surroundings on walks, and proactive about preventing any safety risks, so owners can feel confident their pets are protected and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m new using this platform but I’ve always had dogs in my care and now have a very active Bengal kitten at home, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understanding their different needs. I grew up in a household with dogs of all sizes (from large breeds like Rottweilers to small breeds like Yorkies) which has given me experience handling a wide range of personalities and energy levels. I’m used to high energy pets, daily play and exercise, maintaining clean spaces, and adjusting care based on each pet’s personality. I focus on patience, routine, and making sure every pet feels safe, engaged, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m currently a full-time graduate student with flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to plan visits in advance and accommodate drop-in care when needed. I’m generally available before 10:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, and I can plan ahead to ensure consistent, reliable care. I am amenable to anything your doggie/cat may need to feel good and safe. Just give me specifications or contact me with any doubts about walking/sitting services.

About: *insured and have a business outside of Rover. Look up entailed adventures. **I’m mostly just trying to use the app to reach more people. We have been in business for a year, but been doing this for friends family for many years prior. Whether you are busy pet parent or just needing a bit of help here and there, I take care of most animals: dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, etc… I’ve had a pet care service for almost a year but I have years of experience taking care of animals for 8. I’m currently working full time, but I am working on being able to do this full time. I will keep my calendar updated to match my schedule at work until I can do this full time. I house sit at the clients home. If you do not have a fence, I will walk the pet long enough so they can get some enjoyment. I will clean as I go and it will either look as good as it did or better when you come back.

About: Hello! My name is Haley and I am excited to be able to help you in your pet care experience! I am a proud owner of two cats, a puppy and a snake. I have spent my life growing up around animals and training them as well. I know what love and care is needed for your animals as I will take care of them the same I would take care of mine. I have come to learn that patience, love and fun are the best qualities to have when caring for any animals. I will be sure to take the time and dedication that is needed to ensure your animal feels safe, loved and well taken care of while you are unavailable. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask! * I work with a flexible schedule, which allows me to consistently build pet care into my daily routine. * As a pet owner myself, animal care is already a major part of my everyday life. * I intentionally plan my schedule to give pets reliable attention instead of rushed drop-ins. * I prioritize: * Feeding and fresh water * Playtime and enrichment * Litter box cleaning and maintenance * Medication routines if needed * Quality interaction and companionship * I understand how important consistency and routine are, especially for cats adjusting to new people or schedule changes. * I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care feels like a natural and rewarding part of my routine rather than an extra obligation. * I create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment for every pet in my care. * I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, medications, playtime, and comfort preferences. * I respect every animal’s personality and boundaries and never force interaction before they feel comfortable. * I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall wellbeing. * I keep litter boxes, feeding areas, and pet spaces clean and sanitary. * I double-check doors, gates, and safety concerns to help prevent escapes or stress. * I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel comfortable while away. * In clients’ homes, I treat both the pets and the space with care, cleanliness, and respect.

About: As a child, I grew up with having a cat as a pet. I love them so much, but remember begging my parent for a dog for many years. (Currently my boyfriend is allergic to cats so looks like we’re officially dog people) We finally got a family dog when I was 15, a giant sweetheart, St. Bernard named Rocky. I got my first (full responsibility) dog with my high school boyfriend at 17, a big headed, gentle giant Blue Nose Pitbull. And I adopted my soul dog at 19, our stubborn, loving stinky boy, Tyson! We spend the last 15 year together and he went across the rainbow bridge last year. I was so lucky to have my 80 lb boxer pitbull live as much life as he did by my side. As a 34 year old who is pet-less for the 1st time in forever, I’m here to share my love for animals in my spare time with your sweet babies! My schedule changes frequently. Weekdays are usually best for my availability for walks. Weekends are optional for over night care, but I will be working so they need to be house or crate trained. I have a fenced yard shared with a duplex that has no other animals. There are lots of squirrels and bunnies in my area, but otherwise your furry friend will have the whole yard to theirselves! I enjoy spending time with them in the yard as well

Meghan was absolutely wonderful with our high energy mini schnauzer Oli! They even ran together and Oli had the happiest face in her card picture. Oli also looked very well cared for when we got back home. Meghan was careful to wipe Oli’s muddy paws, refresh her water bowl, and spoil her with a couple treats. Her updates were detailed, yet concise. We loved having Meghan as Oli’s new friend and would recommend her to our family and friends. :)
