“Jamie came by and took care of my two cats while I was away for a long weekend and made sure they were fed and taken care of.

Thank you, Jamie!”


About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life. I grew up with cats, and I’m the go to pet sitter among my friends. A few years ago, I helped raise and train a rescued husky with a professional trainer, which gave me a strong foundation in behavioral management and structure. I’ve also formed deep bonds with cats, one of my closest connections was with a cat who truly helped me through a tough time. I believe animals have a way of choosing us when we need them most, and I carry that compassion into every pet I care for. Whether your pet is high energy, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll meet them with patience, structure, and lots of love. I’m comfortable with a variety of temperaments and routines, and I take pride in creating a safe, calm environment where your pet can thrive while you're away. Can’t wait to meet your furry family! Spending time with animals is one of the most grounding and joyful parts of my life. I'm starting my own business with a flexible schedule, so I have the time and freedom to provide consistent care, walks, playtime, or just a comforting presence. Whether it’s a quick drop in, a long walk, or anything else you may need, I’m able to work around your pet’s needs and routine. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so it never feels like a job, it's something I look forward to! During drop ins, I make sure your pet gets the care, attention, and affection they’re used to, whether that’s feeding, litter scooping, playtime, or just some companionship while you’re away. I follow your instructions closely and do my best to stick to your pet’s normal routine. For walks, I bring structure and a calm energy while still making it fun. I’m all about safe, engaging walks that give your dog the chance to stretch their legs, sniff around, and enjoy their time. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities.

“Arrived promptly on schedule and spent quality time with our two dogs. Sent pictures each time. Will certainly use Lisa’s service again and would recommend her for those looking for a compassionate animal caregiver.”

“Andre was amazing with our 3 pups for the week with 2 drop ins per day. He was thorough in his updates and it was clear the pups loved him almost immediately. Will definitely use him again for any needs with our trio and would recommend him for anyone looking for help with their pets!”


About: I have taken care of neighbors’ and grandparents’ dogs as well as my own. I love dogs more than most people and would do anything to protect them and keep them happy. As a college student away from my fur babies at home, this fits perfectly into my schedule. I have a lot of time on my hands until I start grad school this summer! I will just be taking the fur babies for walks as I am in an apartment that unfortunately does not allow pups. I will use safe paths or neighborhoods as well as any parks or fields that allow us!

About: I've taken care of cats since I was a kid and have a cat who has been my best friend for 12 years. I have lived with dogs and adore them! I know how to look out for signs of distress and keep the pet areas tidy. I work from home and am happy to do visits before noon and after 6pm. Please let me know if you need a time outside of that! I will follow your safety instructions for your home and be sure to open the door very slowly to ensure your pet doesn't run out of your home. Happy to help with bringing the mail in when I visit.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I was little, though it was mainly on and off. Even still, I have a lot of experience when it comes to dealing with the various behaviors dogs or cats like to exhibit. I can be very patient if your pet if they seem to be shy, or I can play with them all day if they just have WAY too much energy. I'm adaptable and can cater to whatever your pet desires. My main form of transportation is the bus. I work just about all day from Monday-Friday every week. I'm only available on Saturday and Sunday, but it will be for the entire day. I may have to do work on my laptop, however. I will be taking the bus everywhere I go. I cannot have pets inside my own home, so I have no choice but to travel to someone else's in order to pet sit. I care for pets by usually just letting them travel wherever they want inside the house, feeding them, when need be, and playing with them whenever they desire.

“Courtney was so great with Nittany! We had a bit of an unconventional ask to pick Nittany up from our wedding and bring her to daycare and Courtney was very easy to communicate with and was such a huge help on a very busy day.”


“Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of my cat (she also made time for me on a super last minute basis before i trip i had). She made sure to send me adorable check in photos and sent me updates after each visit. I would 100% recommend booking with Stephanie!!”


“Micaela was such a great sitter for my cats! She took care of them so well and was very communicative and tuned into their behaviors. She also spent time playing with them. It was such a relief to have her taking care of my fur babies and I felt comforted while I was away that they were being well taken care of!”


About: Hi, I’m Tariq! My passion for dog-sitting began back in high school when I started helping out friends and neighbors with their pets. Over the years, that casual help turned into something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. As a collegiate basketball player, my schedule keeps me busy during the season, but from spring through summer, I have the flexibility to dedicate my time to caring for dogs. During these months, I’ve made pet sitting a rewarding side hustle—not just for the income, but because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they're comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Joining Rover felt like the natural next step. It allows me to combine my reliability, discipline as an athlete, and love for animals into a service people can count on. Whether your dog needs a few hours of company, or overnight care, I’m here to help give them the same level of attention and affection I’d give my own pet. My daily routine typically wraps up by 2 PM, giving me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I usually start my mornings around 9 AM with a gym session, followed by basketball training. By early afternoon, I’m back home, showered, and recharged—leaving the rest of my day open and available for dog walks, drop-ins, or extended sitting. I’m reliable, punctual, and able to adjust to your pet’s schedule with ease. I used to have a dog of my own, and caring for her came naturally. Sadly, she’s no longer with us, but the experience taught me a lot about daily care and attentiveness. I have a spacious backyard that’s great for play and exercise, along with a nearby walking path that's perfect for regular walks. When I had my dog, I typically walked her two to three times a day—adjusting based on her age and energy level. In addition to daily play, feeding, and companionship, I also administered ear medication when needed, so I'm comfortable handling basic medical needs or special instructions. Overall, providing a safe, active, and loving environment is something I take seriously and genuinely enjoy.
