“Jamie has been stellar w/ my challenging pitbull! I've noticed a positive change in his overall temperament since she became part of his care team. She is easy to work with and schedule. Definitely recommend.”
“Kaylah was an absolute lifesaver! I reached out on very short notice twice this week, and she responded quickly and was more than happy to help. She took amazing care of my dog, Oakley—made sure she was walked, fed, and given lots of love. I came home to a happy pup and really appreciated the updates she sent during the visit. Kaylah is reliable, kind, and clearly an animal lover. I’d definitely book with her again and I highly recommend her to everyone.”
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets, from dogs and a cat to ducks and even a goose! I’m a HUGE animal lover. I dog sit every summer for the same family, and genuinely just enjoy spending time with pets! My family relies on me to walk the dogs as well as feed the cat. I’m very passionate about properly caring for animals. I’m currently home from college for the summer, so I have a lot of down time to take up with caring for pets on Rover! Respect is huge, and it takes a lot of trust to let a stranger into your home. This said, I respect the houses of each client I visit to care for their adorable pooch! I’ll properly care for the pets in your home and give them all the attention they need!
“Eden is incredibly caring and responsible. She is always very responsive and our dogs and always very exciting to see her! She gives our animals lots of love and treats them like they are her own.”
“Jennah was super flexible with my very last minute booking. She did everything I requested and more!”
About: I’ve grown up with family dogs my entire life and have loved taking care of my own dogs since I was 11! I’ve trained two puppies myself and also have experience with senior care and administering medication as my previous dog had diabetes before she passed. I am a teacher with summers off so I’ll have plenty of time for all the pets! I’ll be available most days for July and August! I can do whatever is needed for your pets in your home! I can even bring my own puppy if your pets like play dates in the yard or company on their walks!
“We are glad we found Sarah through Rover! She came to our home and spent 30 minutes to meet and greet our dog. This initial bonding was so helpful in getting our dog comfortable with Sarah so that she could enjoy her first walk. Sarah is on time, good at checking in with us, and very calm with our dog. We look forward to more walks in the future!”
“Adriana has been excellent! very responsive and communicative - it's been a joy to work with her and I trust her with my boy completely (an 80 lbs. 8 year old dog who loves all his smells and peeing on everything!).”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. I have experience with puppies, energetic dogs, and elderly dogs. I love to spend my free time outside with my own dog, helping him get more exercise! I am eager to expand my dog experience and to bond with more animals. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have open availability to watch your dogs! I am able to be flexible to find times to walk or take your pup for a potty break! If you require a longer stay, I just need to know at least 2 weeks in advance to ensure my schedule will align. I currently have a Catahoula Leopord Dog, he requires a lot of attention and outdoor time. He has a hard time sharing his space, so I would have to board at the clients home. While visiting at the clients home, I will ensure the pup receives plenty of exercise, cuddles, and as many potty breaks it needs! I have my own transportation so it’s not a problem to commute.
“Isaiah was able to come at the last minute to help when our sitter had to take care of a personal matter. Our boys are a handful and they seemed to acclimate to him amazing! Highly recommend!”
“Reliable, attentive, and Shaggy-approved! My go-to dog walker ensures my furry friend gets the exercise and care he needs. Couldn't ask for better service!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 8-9 years old, taught proper care and handling as well as respect for all. I have experience giving medicine regularly and as needed, bathing and brushing, assessing comfort levels and giving good ol’fashion belly rubs. I am familiar with strict meal plans and the importance of keeping up their established routines. I follow your furry friends lead, never forcing unwanted attention and respecting their boundaries. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to help watch your lovable puppers and cats! I am available 6AM-1PM everyday with my afternoon/evening availability changing weekly, only requiring a few days notice to work out our game plan. I am currently available for in-home visits and walks, and am fully capable of running around with your dog when needed! I respect all house rules and keep clients updated upon arrival and when I’m departing.
“Alyssa was so great with my little one. She kept me updated throughout the week, was very responsive and took care of him when he did not feel well. She even got him a toy for his birthday. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid! Growing up in an apartment, I was always around cats and have been taking care of my own for the last 7 years. I am a total cat lady! I have cat-sit for many friends, colleagues, and family members. I've also always loved being around friend and family members' dogs and have dog sit several times, including walking and overnight care. I am patient, respectful, and reliable for providing clear and consistent communication. As a grad student, I am also dependable for responsible and respectful service. I know that trusting someone with your pets is a big responsibility, and I will do everything I can to give your furry family members as pleasant and relaxing an experience as possible while you're away! As a PhD student, my summers are very flexible as I am mostly working on independent research projects and preparing to teach in the fall. I have a car and am able to travel for the visits. Outside of short travel dates, I am usually available throughout the day and can complete multiple visits in a day if needed. When meeting new animals, I always allow the animal to dictate how much they want me to interact with them. Along with the basics of feeding and cleaning up, I always make sure to provide the animals with some play time and comfort. I am happy to talk about your animal's specific needs and how I can best care for them.
About: I have years of experience dog walking and dog sitting. I am an owner or 2 sweet cats myself, and a lover of all animals! I have an open schedule working from home and have the pleasure of spending the days with my own cats and would love to introduce a dog into the home to get me walking in my free time! I have two friendly cats to keep your pet company while you are away! Harlow is shy but sweet and spends most of the day hiding but occasionally comes out for cuddles, while Gunther is very sociable and takes well to visitors! I am very detailed in cleaning litter and maintaining a clean environment, and will also be good to maintain your pet’s feeding schedule either in my home or yours. With my years of pet experience, you can trust that your pet will be safe, loved, and properly cared for while with me.
About: I have had 3 dogs and 8 cats throughout my life. As well as rescuing 6 cats and 1 dog from around my county. I love impacting a pets life and giving them the love and care they deserve. I love taking care of all breeds and sizes of animals! I am currently a student and have a few side jobs which makes it easy for me to schedule. I am very flexible with times and dates. I like to get as much information about the pets as I can, including any illnesses/ health issues, favorite toys, favorite food, and any other activities they enjoy. Each animal is different and has their own personality and I think it’s important to take that in account while taking care of them. I have no issues taking care of pets with health or emotional issues, whether this means giving them medication or being aware of activities that can upset or help them.
“Just AWESOME-- short notice booking/no m&g due to time constraint; on time and fun, confident... My young and high-energy beagle didn't even howl he was out the door perkily jaunting down the street with her in about 60 seconds -- she made both of us comfortable and I got time to get ready with ease. Thanks Amber!”
About: Growing up, I had a cat so from a young age I was introduced to the responsibilities of pets. The past few years, I have spent time in my neighborhood caring for all types of dogs and cats for families and learned the importance of commitment and communication involved with pet sitting. I work a part-time job at a local restaurant a few times each week for only a few hours. This enables me to have lots of free time and flexibility in my schedule. I will be able to let out, feed, walk, and simply hangout with the dogs periodically over the day. I care for pets with very much compassion because I understand what it is like to own and care for a pet. Safety is my number one priority and I will do everything I can to ensure a smooth pet-sitting experience.
“Reese is wonderful! She was super communicative and kept my pup safe 🤍 will be booking her again!!”
About: For many years, I aided my aunt who owns her own dog grooming salon, keeping the dogs occupied and bathing them! I have also taken care of many friends and family members dogs, even cats! I had two dogs, two Guinea pigs, and recently just adopted a cat! I volunteer weekly at a bunny farm cleaning their cages and spending time with them. I enjoy all animals and being a difference in their lives! I currently have a full time job, typically work week hours, with some overtime so I will need to work around that! Available weekends and late night!! I have a park nearby and am familiar with safe areas for dog walking! I think it is important to listen to the client and will do everything I can to ensure your pets safety and help you feel at ease knowing they are in good hands! Every client is different and I respect each and every boundary.

Jadyne M.
“Jadyne is an absolutely amazing and very considerate pet sitter! I went out of town to visit family for over 2 weeks, and she was fantastic with coming in daily to check up on my cats. She stayed for a few hours at a time every day to check up on their automatic food and water feeders, as well as clean up their litterbox. I was especially appreciative of her attention to detail with the litterbox, since one of my cats is quite picky with the litterbox setup. Jadyne was able to accommodate her pickiness with no issues, which gave me enormous peace of mind on my trip! I was also grateful that Jadyne was willing to stay for a little bit during each visit to spend time with my cats and play with them so they wouldn't get too lonely. She frequently sent photos and videos so I knew they were doing okay, and communication was a breeze.”
