About: I have taken care of personal dogs since I was 10 years old. I have potty trained dogs and also have trained them to do certain tricks. I am currently retired and I'm looking for a part-time job while my grandchildren are at school. I would need to work a few hours during the day. I will be able to walk your dog, feed your dog and give your dog lots of attention and loving care during the day time.
“April was a great sitter. She was consistent with her communication and updates and my dog looked very happy and well taken care of when I returned from my trip. Would definitely recommend.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Jaclyn. We decided to hire her for our crazy Great Pyrenees and all of our indoor cats. She was very punctual and we returned home to very happy babies. I had initially asked her to provide photos of them and she sent me photos of individual pet with every visit!! On top of that, she also spent quality time with them for their mental stimulation. We will hire her again and recommend her to all the anxious mothers who hate to be away from their furbabies. Thanks to her, we were able to spend some time away from home with ease of mind 🥰”
“Maria was fantastic with our dogs. Our big dog has a lot of anxiety, but Maria was very patient and made sure to gain her trust. She went above and beyond what we would have expected!”
About: Ive never met a dog or cat that doesn't instantly like me and same for me too! Kindness & Respect go along way with pets. I treat them like I would want to be treated if I was an animal. Ive always been a hard worker and do my best to make others happy, human or animal. Im dependable and easy to work with. I believe communication is key in life. Im respectful of others home, property & privacy. I will take good care of your babies & whatever you trust me with. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies. 😊 I am retired. My schedule is pretty open. I do deliver part time here & there. However, pets come first and I'm dedicated pet sitter. I am very attentive to your pets. Notes of your pets usual routines, likes & dislikes help to continue easy days & nights while you are away.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, and my love for them has only grown. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and everything in between—including my own dog through his golden years. I know every dog is unique, and I’m here to give them the personalized care they need! I’m a full-time, stay at home Wife! Therefore, I have the rare flexibility to offer round-the-clock care for your pet. Your dog will receive my full attention throughout the day—whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or evening snuggles. I no longer have any dogs of my own, which means my home is a calm, pet-free space—ideal for pets who may prefer one-on-one care. I only care for one dog at a time (unless both are from the same family), so your pet gets personalized attention and never has to compete for love or space. I completely understand that trusting someone new with your pets can be unnerving. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. I create a comfortable, stress-free environment by following their routine, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. From daily walks and feeding to administering medication or providing extra attention for puppies and senior dogs!
“Ashley was great with my 13 year old mini Aussie who is kiddish and shy! She provided amazing care for my dog while I took a short trip away for 5 days! She’s the best!! TY Ashley!”
“Connor was great! My opinion as well as Raegan and Sadie. He was prompt, courteous, asked great questions plus seemed to totally enjoy our girls. Definitely would check Connor out! We look forward to having him back.”
“Victoria is truly a lifesaver! Our cat’s automatic litter box stopped working during the Thanksgiving holiday, and she was able to check in on our cat at the last minute and fix it. Not only did she repair the litter box, but she also cleaned up our cat’s mess and throw up. Victoria went above and beyond, and we are incredibly grateful to have found her through this app. Thank you so much, Victoria!”
“Madison took care of our 2 fur babies on a last minute request and I’m so glad we found her! She was good at communicating and according to the photos she share our dogs always looked so happy to see her.”
“Sarah did a great job tailoring the visit to my puppy! She sent me a really good pictures, and you can see on my puppy’s face just how happy she was to have her with her! I’m so very grateful for the great job she did, and I plan to use her again in the future!”
“Amy is wonderful! This is our 2nd trip with our kitty under her care and we’re about to do a third. She keeps trying with our very shy cat, which we sure appreciate! She sends pics and keeps us updated on how she’s doing. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years, both personally and professionally. In Brazil, I owned and ran a dog boarding business (Auspedagem da Di), where I cared for dogs in a safe, family-style environment. I graduated in Veterinary Medicine in Brazil in 2012, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care and behavior. Although I now work full-time in HR in the U.S., I continue working with pets because it’s something I truly love. My experience, along with my calm, attentive care and a true home environment where pets are treated like part of the family, is my main strength. I work full-time in HR Monday to Friday, so I provide pet care in the early mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure I can give each pet the attention they need. On weekends and outside of work hours, I’m available for boarding, walks, and drop-in visits. In my home, pets are part of our daily routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and rest based on their usual schedule. I only accept bookings when I can properly supervise and give them attention outside my work hours. I also have a fenced yard, which allows for safe outdoor time and supervised play. For drop-in visits, I follow all instructions closely and keep the pet’s routine consistent in their own home.
About: I make sure that your animal is well taken care of. If I have school or other things going on, I make sure to stop by to see your pet every 2 or so hours. I give lots of treats and hugs and cuddles to your furry friends. I’m currently in school so I’m perfectly free after 2pm Monday-Thursday Other than that I’m free all day and available at your let’s need. Also available to check on your pet in between classes I make sure the pets are fed every day and night at the same time. I walk dogs at the same time every day and for the same amount of time. I give doggies lots of treats and love as well
“Blake did a great job taking care of our 3 cats, cleaning up after them, and sending us cute photos and videos while we were out of town. Even when we were unreachable with no cell service, Blake took care of things here. We are so glad we hired her to take care of our fur babies and will definitely be calling her again!”
“Thank you so much for coming on short notice to review all of the care needs for the girls while we are out of town this week! Eliana showed patience and attention to details, and our gals loved walking with her!”
“Joshna did an excellent job with our cat! She was kind and went above and beyond to take care of him which we really appreciate. We highly recommend her and will be booking her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and love getting to know every pup’s unique personality! I’m experienced in basic training and provide loving, attentive care. I’m deaf and use American Sign Language to communicate, but I can speak a little too—your pets will always be in patient, understanding hands 💛 My schedule for summer is super flexible and I will be able to have plenty of time to give your fur babies the best experience of their life 😆 I love hanging out and giving the cuddles! I am happy to housesit your place which means I can come and stay at your place to take care of your fur kiddos! Just need to be aware that I will have to step out sometimes to take care of my own fur kiddos and sometimes will have shifts to work. I always make sure to take care of the animals first before I head out.

Melissa cat parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot recommend Kimberly highly enough! She took wonderful care of my three cats while I was away and, made leaving them for the first time ever stress free. She is very accommodating and helpful. The day before my trip, my keyless entry stopped working and she made time to come by and pick up a house key. I was also happy with how quickly my cats warmed up to her. One of my cats is extremely anxious and rarely comes out for anyone unless she's known them for years. All three of my cats took to her almost immediately. She has such a calm, kind energy, and my babies could clearly sense that. Throughout the stay, she sent plenty of photos and updates, and kept up with all care instructions, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and relaxed my cats were. I look forward to booking with Kimberly again ❤️
