About: Although I take care of mostly cats now, I grew up with my own dog and cared for him until my own adulthood. Ready to care for, love, ignore (as needed by many cats), pet, and cuddle with your loved furry friends. I am a student with lots of time to hug and care for your furry friends! Super flexible hours and can work around your schedule. My own baby enjoys lots of time in the sunshine. I make sure to play extensively with her and other cats I have sitted. Feeding, cuddling, cleaning litter boxes are done multiple times a day for my own and I expect to provide that same care for your loved ones.
“Mariam has been a great dog walker for our senior dog Hannah- she is attentive, observant, caring and a great communicator. She goes above and beyond by giving our cats some attention as well and picks up on small details with our dog who is on medication which brings us such peace of mind.”
About: I am an animal lover who is happy to give some love, attention, and care to pets of all varieties. I am very comfortable administering medication (have a diabetic cat at home), and have no qualms about cleaning up pet messes. I love playing and cuddling as well as taking care of an animals physical needs. I like doing Rover because I work in entertainment and travel quite a bit for projects, but when I am home and have no gigs, my time is very flexible and I can fit any pet's schedule into mine. I wish I could have a dog but I am out of town too much. Rover is perfect for getting some dog love during my stretches between gigs. I am happy to take pets in my home (with a fenced park across the street, and three cat friends) or visit them in your home where they are comfortable.
“Cassandra has been wonderful with our two dogs on repeat visits! She has been flexible and responsive and always sends cute photos of them. We are looking forward to being regular clients of hers!”
“Molly is friendly, a great communicator, and she was super with my dog. She is also quite independent, willing to jump right in. I highly recommend Molly - she is great!”
“Tamara was really flexible with my last-minute request, and did a great job communicating and taking care of my elderly dog while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Jay and Lisette have been so good with walking Bunni and Sharki for a whole week, they are not only consistently on time and always walk them a bit more time than allotted, but also take the time to wipe their paws especially when it’s nasty outside. Would absolutely recommend them to others!”
About: Welcome to my care profile! Thanks so much for your consideration. My name is Goddess Jasmine (pronounced Yasmine). 🌻 I am a Muslim & Christ 🌟centered plantbased entrepreneur, author, and content creator from Chicago whose main focus is about reconnecting and interweaving ourselves with nature to cultivate vitality and a cohesive social eco environment in which every being thrives in harmony. I am an enthusiastic world traveler, animal and nature lover committed to sharing joy and my authentic glow everywhere I go. As a seasoned holistic wellness consultant, caregiver, empowerment content creator, and community herbalist I work from home and close to the earth because I love to be outside and nurturing all living creatures. My main personal values center integrity with my inner wisdom, and connecting deeply with all that there is in my environment by sharing love & compassion to every being I encounter. I believe that everyone’s presence is a gift so I take the time to be in gratitude with all living beings I encounter moment by moment. When I was younger I always had a big heart and would care deeply for everyone and everything. I grew up with a guiñea pig, a fish, making friends with trees and babysitting my younger siblings and neighborhood children. I often visited my grandmama’s house to help her play with and care for her German Shepard. As a teenager I attended a rural farming school in Vermont and volunteered on many farms near Boston where I learned how to grow produce and raise livestock namely, cows, ducks, chickens, turkeys, and goats. While In Claremont California, I obtained my BA in Environmental Analysis Africana Studies and a Minor in Studio Art, studying the intrinsic interdependence and the ultimate beauty and creative web connections that support and maintain life. Additionally, I often took care of many of my friends' dogs (chihuahua and other medium mix breeds) while away on extended trips, namely playing with pets, walks, bathing, and poop time. In my 20’s I have had various house sitting opportunities to collect packages and tend for pets, cats, fish and gardens. Currently as a full time dog walker, herbalist and land steward, I feed the local wildlife, tend to an abundant native species garden and perform other domestic duties to maintain the beauty of the home. I believe that we are one with nature so connecting with nature is how we connect with ourselves. Also as an avid world traveler, I look forward to connecting with local animals and plants of any environment.

About: While I do not currently share my life with a dog of my own (it's a matter of being unable to adopt every dog I lay my eyes on!), I dearly love helping pet parents keep their dogs happy and healthy and preferably in their own homes while their owners are away. I love to travel,and love to spend time with as many dogs as I can possibly fit into my day. You can often find me chatting with others about their animals, and I am always interested in hearing about every little detail. I enjoy helping people get a greater understanding regarding the welfare of their animals, and sometimes bore my friends with random and obscure dog breeds, and what I know of their temperament and behavior. I'm proud to say I try to research as many breeds as I can so that I know what to expect, and hey, it's always fun to just know why and how a breed came into existence! I happen to also be studying veterinary technology, for the knowledge of nutrition and behavior, since surgery is more information than I want. :D I am also very happy to drop by or stay with your cats, and am quite used to the varying personalities of these small creatures: the ones who like to play hide and seek, the aloof, the playful, and the grumpy. I don't mind at all, as long as the cat is comfortable, eating, and using their litter box, all is well! I can work my day around your dog or cat, as I am a dedicated sitter, and much prefer to spend my time enjoying the company of cats and dogs as much as I can. I much prefer to stay with the dog or cat in their own home, as having their familiar surroundings help them remain peaceful, happy, and comfortable.
“Carolina has been so patience with my obnoxious dog, I consider she’s great and goes an extra mile. 100% trustworthy, your furry friend will definitely be happy walking with Carolina!”
About: I have always had pets, but I have been dog walking since middle school and pet sitting since high school. I have cared for many different breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs and cats, as well as some fish, lizards, snakes, bunnies and birds. I am able to learn and adapt quickly, and am always happy to care for a new species, big or small. I am experienced with caring for pets with special needs or medicines. I have experience with all aspects of dog and cat care, from puppy training to caring for senior dogs with limited mobility, and I am willing to learn about anything I have not yet experienced, including caring for exotic pets. I am comfortable caring for up to a farm's worth of pets at a time, depending on their needs. I have a soft spot for really big dogs, especially rowdy ones! I am working freelance at the moment, so my schedule is completely open! I am available to petsit overnight, to walk dogs during the day, or even to give occasional rides to the park or the vet! I generally prefer to care for pets in their own home. I like to match my routine to yours to minimize stress for your pets, so I am very flexible. I will want to meet with you and your pets prior to sitting to familiarize myself with your routine and needs, and to make sure I am a good match with your pets. I can be as relaxed or energetic as needed depending on the number and energy level of your pets. I will spend as much time petting and cuddling your animals as they let me!
“Kexin is so amazing with our big pup, Ace! She is reliable, trustworthy, and great with dogs! She always sends us plenty of updates and photos of their adventures, even when they happen to be in the rain!!”
About: I grew up taking care and even sitting some of my mom's friends dogs. In my teens I would take care and sit a few family members dogs. I then volunteered at a puppy adoption center in Mexico. I am currently only attending school on Friday mornings from 8am to 12pm. I will update my schedule once I go back to tutoring or when my classes change. I will ensure that your pets get the care they need and the exercise they need. I will also pay attention to any requests your pets may need.

New City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Chauntrell was absolutely phenomenal! He came through for me in a tight situation and was truly a lifesaver. His care and attention to my dog were outstanding — I could tell he genuinely loves animals. On a hot summer day, he even brought ice water for my dog during the walk, which was such a thoughtful touch. I would happily use his services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and professional.
Hailey is an amazing dog walker! She met our little Ollie beforehand to introduce herself, as he can be a little scared of people, and he quickly trusted her! She is very kind, accommodating, and made sure to always show him love! We greatly appreciate her and would highly, highly recommend her to anyone in need of dog walking or sitting. She’s the best!
Met Shiri for a dog walk/meet and greet in advance of an upcoming sit. So far she’s great at communication. One of our pups is shy and she respected her boundaries. The questions Shiri asked indicates to me she takes her role seriously and knows what to look out for. Looking forward to having her spend more time with the pups!
