“Rhianna was beyond amazing at taking care of my cat Lucille and my home while I was away. She sent detailed updates daily and plenty of photos showing what all they got up to each day, and constantly went above my expectations. The care she showed for my pet was clear, and I couldn't appreciate her more!”


“Livana is a sweetheart. It was a pleasure to meet her and our dog Nessie seemed happy and enjoyed her time with Liv. I definitely recommend her and will be using her services again soon.”


“This was our second booking with Taylor. She was always on time and communicative, keeping us updated with photos. We never had to worry while we were away, knowing our dog was in good hands. It’s clear she genuinely love animals and treats them like her own. Our dog was so happy to see her, and we could tell he had a great time.”


“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our cherished fur babies in someone else’s hands. From the meet and greet to the final check in, Kristi went over and above our original expectations. She kept us informed, sending us photos, which truly made a difference while travelling. She provided many special touches which we will be forever grateful for as she genuinely cared and loved for our fur babies like they were her own. We will forever be indebted to her and without a doubt, use her services again! Highly recommend!”


“Tori is such a delight. She eased our mind about our one problem child pup that likes to chew couches while we’re gone. She was fantastic and very timely on showing up as well as keeping us updated on what was going on. She sent lots of pics of all the kids and we felt very comfortable with her being in our home while we were gone. We will definitely use her again next month when we go out of state for a few days. Highly recommend.”


About: I have had dogs all my life, mostly German Shepards, the one I currently have I was there helping the mom to give birth! She is also very well trained! I know it’s hard to leave them so let me give you peace of mind! I am looking to help those who may be working mornings Monday -Friday. I would be available as early at 7 but no later than 5 I will keep your fury friend company, sending pictures to you to give reassurance and take care of any other needs your pet may have!

“Peyton is amazing and went above and beyond for us while we were away for our first family vacation!! She was on point with communication when we or she had a question regarding the dogs, plus she did cleaning outside when we didn't ask her to. With the 6 dogs she had to watch, 5 out of 6 dogs (5 are my MIL dogs) loved her, except 1 of our dogs, Misty, was very stubborn and guarded she was giving us a play by play on how she kept on barking and 24hrs later Misty warmed up and earned Peyton's respect. We would love to have her again in the near future!! :)”


“Bridgette was absolutely amazing & accommodating for my crazy schedule/situation. She did a great job with my pet in terms of walking, feeding, and giving consistent updates - I will definitely book her again!!”


“Amanda was great with my two cats! We booked last minute but Amanda met up with us before we left to get familiar with the girls. She kept me updated with good notes and sweet pictures. I will definitely use Amanda again for our future trips!”


“Rhianna is consistent, reliable, good-natured and attentive. Her love for animals shows! She sent pictures of our dogs with every report card, and not just snapshots, but cute, funny, thoughtful and artistic pictures. We were confident that our dogs were getting top-notch care and attention while we were gone. She is our #1 choice and we would book her again for every trip without hesitation!”


About: I've spent a lot of time caring for many different animals including dogs, cats, indoor birds and poultry. I've worked with training my own dogs from the first day to make sure they're well behaved. I have a cockatiel and a parakeet, as well as two dogs in my own home currently. I have open availability to meet your pets needs and I can work with you need something else. I am a residential cleaner and I have open availability for cleaning homes, we can discuss details if desired. I adhere to a strict routine with my own dogs everyday when we wake up, and towards the evening we unwind and relax with a lots of pets, cuddles and kisses.

About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of animals! Whether it be while growing up or starting to dogsit/walk in high school, there was never a time a fur baby wasn’t relying on me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to help out with my friends and families animals, as well as volunteer for local animal shelters. I have experience with dogs of all ages and levels of care. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your pet (I have used Rover myself when I go out of town) so I assure you I will provide the kind of care and attention to your pet that I would want given to my own! :) I’m currently working part time. My job offers flexible hours, so I have the opportunity to accommodate whatever schedule you and your pet require. :) I will happily go over what your pets routine is and abide by whatever you’re most comfortable with! If your dog is used to being walked at certain times, crated, etc. The well being and safety of your animal is my upmost concern so whatever you need me to do to guarantee that, is what I’ll do!

About: Hi! I’m Cass. I have been a life long animal lover. I was often the child bringing home every stray cat and dog I found. When I became a Mom and my youngest son begged us to get a dog, I was so happy. We added Rocky to our family 12 years ago and he’s been my companion ever since. We also have two cats Domino and Luna to complete our family zoo! We’d love to have new furry friends and visitors to come on our family adventures and to play with. I work from home so I am available all day for pet care needs to be able to frequently feed and bathroom breaks along with some outdoor time I have a somewhat private back yard and I will be outside with your pet at all times while they get outdoor time and use the bathroom or I am able to go to your home and walk them in their environment. I also have a nice neighborhood block area that I am able to take breaks and walk your pet.

About: I grew up with dogs, birds, and fish. That does not mean I have not cared for other animals. I spent a lot of time at a family members farm growing up, so I also cared for cats, newborn and adult cows, chickens, goats, etc. I have always had a love for animals/pets and am well rounded in that area. I have been pet sitting for various families over the years and have really gained experience by caring for pets of all ages. I can easily deal with puppy messes and senior dog needs. I have an unmeasurable amount of love for animals, and I figured I could put that love to use and start offering services on Rover. I am currently a college student home for summer who works part time. My schedule varies week to week but I am open to any requests! I will care for pets exactly as the owner requests. Your pets happiness is my #1 priority so I will make sure they are well fed, exercised, and happy. All pets are different, and body language is a huge part of getting to know new animals. Luckily I am very knowledgeable about animal body language. I will not overstep your pets boundaries and will let them become comfortable with me first. That way they feel safe and secure. I treat all animals as if they were my own and since I am an animal lover, I form a strong bond with pets.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and I have also owned mine my whole life. I went to tel tctc for animal management also. I own my own photography business so this is something I would like to do when I don’t have any sessions. I also do hair We have a invisible fence, and we have baby gates in areas so she can not get into anything. Our cat stays in the house.

“Paige exceeded all of our expectations. My three large dogs were well taken care of, and when we arrived home, we figured we would have a mess to deal with because of the weather and muddy back yard, but Paige kept up with everything, again, above and beyond our expectations. Paige sent us updates daily, with pics of the dogs. These updates put us at ease that all was well back at home. Aside from all of this, we can tell that Paige is a genuinely good person that has a love for animals, treating ours as she would her own. If you are looking for a sitter, stop here and check her calendar, you wont regret it.”


About: I have lived with and cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. I believe they are often misunderstood and approach their care from an empathetic strategy. I have no restrictions on age , breed or size. I also have experience with epilepsy and basic medical care. I work full-time and will be available after 4 pm most weekdays. I am able to work from home for part of the week so I am able to check in during the day and stay with your pet if arrangements are needed. I will give your pet the same care that I provide my own. I will provide check ins at the agreed upon interval. Respect any custom requests for visiting care that I can.
