“Faith took great care of our cat while we were away! She is good at communicating, reliable, and easy to work with. Thanks again!”

Michael C.

“Kami was wonderful and took great care of our cats while we were away from home. She gave them plenty snacks and provided us with a thorough report on the wellbeing of our fur babies. 10/10 would use her services again 😄”

“First time using Rover, and was very nervous about having a stranger come into my home. From the met and greet, I could tell Jenifer is a true professional and takes her job seriously. Jenifer sent me photos of my cat every day. Pounce is extremely shy. I was very surprised that she came out for a “stranger”. By day two I knew I made a right decision by going with Rover and Jenifer to take care of Pounce. I will definitely use Rover again and Jenifer will be my person of choice! Thank you! Barb Roberts”

“Tara was prompt, attentive, came out to meet us and our dogs prior to sitting with them while we were at work, and carefully completed all requested tasks. Our dogs absolutely loved her. She sent a LOT of photos, which was great. Would be comfortable working with Tara again.”

“Mary did a wonderful job with our dog. She communicated well, reliable, and gave lots of love to our dog. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I have been a dedicated animal lover and pet owner my entire life. My experience is rooted in long-term personal ownership and recent, reliable caregiving for friends and family. Dog Expertise: I grew up with dogs and, prior to moving to this neighborhood, I was the trusted, regular dog walker and sitter for family and friends. This experience involved handling daily walks, managing feeding schedules, and providing necessary companionship and playtime for various breeds, including both high-energy and senior dogs. Cat Expertise: I am a current, devoted cat parent (along with my husband). I am highly proficient in all aspects of cat care, including understanding subtle feline behavioral cues, managing litter box routines, and ensuring a calm, stress-free environment for shy or independent cats. General Care: I am reliable, responsible, and committed to following your specific care instructions precisely. I understand that sticking to a pet's routine is essential for their well-being. Specific Skills Medication Administration: Comfortable and capable of administering oral medications (pills or liquid) as needed. Safety & Walks: Skilled in leash handling and ensuring safety during walks in local neighborhoods. Home Security: Highly respectful of your home and dedicated to maintaining security and cleanliness during my visits. Communication: Committed to providing detailed updates, photos, and clear communication after every visit. Since I work from home, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine and is a welcome break from my desk! I look forward to the opportunities to get out for walks and visits. Here is how I structure my day around my pet clients: Midday Priority: My lunch break is specifically reserved for client visits. I am typically available between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to ensure your pet gets a much-needed potty break, walk, or play session to break up their day. Flexible Bookends: My WFH schedule allows me to be flexible and accommodate early morning or evening walks/check-ins (e.g., around 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM), which is crucial for pets needing a dinner time routine or a final potty break. Pet-Centric Household: Pet care is a core part of my life. My husband and I are devoted to our cat, Remi, and caring for him—including managing his special diet and occasional medication—means maintaining a consistent, pet-focused schedule is simply normal for me. I only provide care right in your home—I don't offer boarding at my place. Pets are happiest where they live, and I love bringing the care directly to them! How I Care for Your Pet (20–30 Minute Visits) For Dogs 🐕: Walks & Routine: I stick strictly to your routine! As a WFH person, I love getting out for focused, safe walks, whether it's midday or an evening stroll. Safety First: I have lots of experience walking and sitting for friends/family, and following instructions is my top priority. For Cats 🐈: Calm Connection: As a dedicated cat parent, I understand and adjust to different cat personalities. I focus on reading your cat's mood, providing quiet companionship or playtime on their terms. Special Needs? No Problem: Just like my own cat, I'm totally comfortable handling oral meds, special diets, and those essential quick clean-ups (litter box/accidents). I promise clear communication and lots of fun photo updates during and/or after every single visit!

“Kim is one of the best sitters my cats have ever had! She is timely, professional, and truly puts in the time to give you a great update on your animals. This was the first time I was not worried about leaving my cats in someone else’s care. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Hannah B.

“Taylor was wonderful! She took such good care of our pets and went above and beyond.”

Marshall B.

“It was wonderful meeting Shay and she did a great job watching Dewey and Stella for the first time! She was reliable and communicative, which I really appreciated. Our Dewey is a rescue and is shy to people she doesn’t know. Shay understood and handled it well. Will definitely be asking her to watch our dogs again!”

Abbie S.

“We had a wonderful experience with Julei! She was reliable and clearly care for Miss Bailey like her own! She provided notes and pics of her visits which were much appreciated. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and felt very much at ease while we’re were gone.”

Carol P.

“Mikaela and Shane are fantastic pet sitters! They are excellent communicators, they went above and beyond my expectations and their attention to detail is spectacular! My pets were so well cared for and loved on with every visit.”

Jennifer D.

“Brianna is dependable, responsible and she understands dogs! I felt so comfortable knowing our 3 yr old lab was getting a visit from her while we were away. I’m very thankful to have found Brianna and highly recommend her!”

Dawn S.

“Katelyn was prompt and very patient and sweet with our dog.”

Susan L.

“First time using a sitter. David did a meet and greet so we felt comfortable with him. He did great and asked questions. Our dog is a bit high maintenance but David didn't seem to mind and took care of everything.”

Kathy T.

“Brooke and Robbie took great care of my sweet prince, Cheddar! I last minute asked if they would be willing to have him all day vs just a drop in and they were so accommodating. They provided updates and lots of pictures. I know Cheddar had a blast and would give them a 5 start review :) 10/10 would book again!”

About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve been walking and caring for dogs since I was a young child and have always had a special place in my heart for our four-legged family members. I currently have three dogs of my own — Cassie, my German Shepherd; Bandit, my Miniature Pinscher; and Sterling, my Blue Heeler mix. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of many different ages, personalities, and needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their individual routines, personalities, and what makes them feel comfortable and loved. Whether your pet is playful, energetic, senior, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I’m happy to provide personalized care. When your pets are in my care, they’ll be treated like family — with plenty of attention, affection, patience, playtime, and, of course, lots of love! 🐾💜 I work during the day during the week, but I’m available for pet care during evenings, weekends, and other times outside of my regular work schedule. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their needs and will always communicate my availability clearly. I’m especially interested in helping with weekend care, walks, drop-in visits, and caring for pets while their families are traveling. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, special routines, and any important safety considerations. I understand that some pets need time to warm up, so I’m patient and never force interaction. I’m also very comfortable caring for senior, shy, energetic, and special-needs pets. With three dogs and a cat of my own, I understand how important it is to know that your fur babies are safe, happy, and receiving the same loving care they would receive at home. I’ll treat your pets as my own and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾💜

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve cared for cats since childhood, regularly looked after a spirited but lovable German Shepherd, and spent time around various animals including livestock. Currently, I work at a premium dog kennel and daycare, where I’ve gained valuable experience managing dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. What truly sets me apart is my deep rooted love and comfort around animals. I connect with them easily and genuinely enjoy their company more than anything else. Their well-being is always my first priority. My work schedule can vary between 6 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., but pet care still fits naturally into my routine. I work at a dog kennel/daycare, which gives me the unique ability to bring dogs with me if I have a long shift or if they need all-day supervision. Dogs are evaluated for daycare, and if they’re not comfortable around others, they’ll go into private play—where they get one-on-one outdoor time every few hours. The accommodations include beds, water bowls, and even free dog food if needed. I cover the cost myself, so your pet’s comfort and care are always a priority. We also offer baths at my work, which could come in handy for some dog owners. Since I’m unable to bring pets into my home, I offer in-home sitting and care. I believe the best care comes from following the pet owner’s instructions closely—no one knows their pet better than they do. I’m here to provide exactly what they feel is best for their pet’s comfort and routine. Through my work at a professional dog kennel, I’ve gained valuable experience recognizing signs of stress or discomfort in animals. If a pet seems uneasy with me or their environment, I adjust immediately to ensure they feel safe and secure. Additionally, if you're a beginner pet parent with any questions or concerns about caring for your pet, I’m happy to offer guidance and advice to help you feel confident in your role as a pet owner.

“This is our second time having Joey pet sit though this time it was drop in visits for our cats. She is an amazing sitter and I love the photos!! She is great to work with and we will continue to reach out! Our cat that likes to hide comes out for Joey!”

Kristie H.

“Was there when requested, did what was asked, loved on them, left a detailed note and photos on visit and pets were happy. Very happy with Jessica.”

About: Hi! My name is Marinda and I chose to be apart of Rover because I have always loved animals. I serve as a manager at a local veterinary hospital and have years of experience when it comes to dog watching. I’m hoping this is an opportunity I’ll be able to take care of others dogs! I have always enjoyed all types of dogs and seem to get along with them all as well. Hope to be able to be apart of your pets life! I am a full time employee who would love to have a second job but doesn’t have the time for it, so, I fill in my easy days with Rover! It’s easy to manage with my own hours! First and foremost I read about the pet and what the owners have to say about them. This will give me a good idea for what I am getting into when I enter the owners house. I will already know how the dogs are going to act and I will be prepared. I never leave the doors unlocked/open unless advised by the owner. I will do exactly what the owner has said to do. I will always double check a dog is secured with their leash when going outside, I will also be aware of the weather and how that might switch the dogs needs when going outside.
