About: I am a veterinary nurse as well as a certified dog trainer. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and will treat your pup as one of my own! I work from home. I do virtual dog training sessions and only work one day out of the house, so very easy for me to take care of your pup in between sessions. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of toys as well as going for daily walks in our very safe neighborhood. I also have two very friendly medium size pups who love to play.

“So happy we found Kimberly to take care of our fur baby. She is loving, reliable, and responsible... we trust her implicitly! She even sent us fantastic pictures which was so nice. I highly recommend her. You will be worry free.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve always loved spending time with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I also have experience caring for dogs while babysitting for families, including feeding them, taking them outside, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention. I’m responsible, dependable, and would love the opportunity to help care for your dog like they’re my own! I’m currently a graduate student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule with plenty of openings between my classes. This gives me a lot of availability throughout the week, and I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s normal routine! I always want pets to feel safe and comfortable around me. I allow each animal to move at their own pace when getting to know me and give them the time and space they need to build trust. I never force interactions and will always respect your pet’s boundaries while making sure they feel cared for and loved.

“Courtney is an absolutely wonderful, trustworthy, caring cat-sitter. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her and to continue working with her as my periodic sitter. She has a lovely presence and a calming energy that my cats absolutely gravitate to--she immediately gained their trust and mine. Courtney is responsive and communicative, which really sets me at ease--especially when I've needed to take longer trips away from my two cats. I cannot recommend her more highly!”

About: I've pet-sat for dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, and guinea pigs since 2001. My sittings have ranged from a few hours to two weeks. I've sat for family, friends, and many parents here on Rover. My family has included two cats, Cleopatra and Caesar, and dogs Valentine, Athos, and Teddy. My goal as a sitter is to offer stability and enrichment while their parent is away. I'm available for drop-ins and overnights and happy to care for your home during the stay, watering plants, etc. My schedule is very flexible outside of my 9-5 at Yale. Why I love pet sitting Who doesn't love some fuzzy company? And I understand from watching our family pets how disorienting a kennel can be. In-home sitting puts pets (and you!) at ease when you're away, so they can enjoy the "vacation" just as much as you can! My experience administering medication I've given pill medication via pill packs and oral liquid medication via syringe. If your dog requires medication, happy to discuss. (In case you're wondering why my testimonials haven't been updated recently, it's because I took a break from Rover to be more available to sit for family and friends. Sadly, some of those lovely pets have passed away now. It means though that I have the availability to return to Rover and I'm happy to be back!) In my initial meeting with a family, I like to get a sense of the pet's routine to determine if I can recreate that for them while their parent is away. My schedule, aside from my 9-5, is dictated by the pet's needs. I prefer to care for a pet in their own home. Before accepting a new client, I like to meet the pet and the parent(s) to make sure we're all vibing. I determine routine/schedule/likes/dislikes with the parent(s) in advance and stay in touch if something needs to deviate, which is rare.

“Jasmine was great and quick to respond to questions and provided detailed visit notes each time! My dog was in such good hands with her check ins.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have two adult dogs now with my wife that I have raised since they were puppies. I have experience with rescue dogs also. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I have a full day available to help with all of your pet’s needs. I am available during the week and weekend. I can take them for walks, outdoor breaks, and playtime whenever needed. I am great at staying on an animal’s schedule and can be available to help at any time! I take your pet’s needs and happiness seriously.

“Ally formed a great bond with our cat and was very attentive to his needs. She updated us with pictures every visit and went above and beyond during our 2 week vacation.”

“Jen has now looked after two "generations" of my cats, and she seemed to know exactly what I needed to see of my kitten during my first long trip away. (Lots of amazing action shots and some videos!) I wouldn't even consider anyone else as a Rover. Thank you Jen! ❤️”

“Very responsive and great care for our cat!”

“We love continuing to book Bella. She is so accommodating, responsible, and trustworthy. We could not be more comfortable with any other sitter in our home and looking after our cat. She is so gentle and patient with our scaredy cat. He has really grown to love her and come out of his shell with her. Thank you so much Bella! Ru looks forward to seeing you soon!”

About: I understand the importance of finding a reliable , caring and loving person to take care of our fur babies, I have one myself! 😺🐈 I'm dedicating completely to taking care of fur babies during the week and weekends when available for feedings, playtime and walks. Contact me for availability. I will be available for pet care at clients home. I feel and think our pets will be more comfortable in their home environment. 😉

“Jordan did a really nice job looking after my cats! I appreciated how communicative she was and her adorable pictures of them while I was away.”

Nicole C.

“Mikayla and Justin are simply great. They took great care of my dog Thelma, who can be very skiddish as she is a rescue. Mikayla and Justin spent ample time letting Thelma warm up to them before taking her out for a walk. I would 10/10 recommend them for any pet care and I will definitely be booking them again for Thelma!”

“Claudia was flexible about scheduling and met with me due to a last minute change in my travel plans wherein I could not take my dog with me. That in itself was a game changer. An added bonus was that my dog bonded with her almost instantly. My girl is usually very protective of our home but Claudia was great with her. Even my cat, who is extremely timid and usually hides until new people are gone, came out to check Claudia out which speaks volumes about her caring connection with animals. Claudia sent me wonderful photos daily of her outings with my dog, who looked very happy, giving me such peace of mind. Claudia is a very good communicator, making sure of my return date, where to leave the keys, and feeding schedules. She is trustworthy and all was in order when I returned. I was so pleased with her service.”

“This was Zulei’s second time taking care of Kobe and I couldn’t be happier! She’s so attentive and sends 3-4 pictures per walk with detailed write ups. Kobe had an upset stomach for a few days while we were on vacation and Zulei Took extra great care of him—I’m so grateful and will definitely leave Kobe in her care in the future.”

About: Growing up in a large household with a mini zoo of dogs, birds, fish, and rodents, I learned the magic and joy of caring for and forming a deep bond with many different kinds of companions. By high school, I was the neighborhood go-to pet sitter, trusted with everything from complex medication schedules and live reptile feedings to overnight house-sitting. Once I was licensed to drive, I was regularly taking packs of dogs on adventures to the park and wash station. Over the years, my hands-on experience has grown to cover a diverse range of animals and specialized needs: Birds: Hands-on experience caring for family birds from a young age, managing daily feeding, habitat maintenance, enrichment, and safe handling routines. Cats: Experience fostering and adopting, including bottle-feeding stray kittens and managing complex health conditions like FeLV, allergies, joint pain, anxiety, and digestive or urinary issues. Aquatics & Invertebrates: Deep knowledge in aquarium maintenance, specializing in aquatic invertebrates and peaceful community tanks. Experienced with land invertebrates including tarantulas, millipedes, Dubia roaches, and isopods. Reptiles and Amphibians: Experienced in handling and long-term holiday care for leopard geckos, iguanas, and tree frogs. Plant Care: Passionate plant parent for over a decade, specializing in tropical species and indoor herbs. Whether managing detailed medical routines or keeping exotic pets thriving, I like to focus on the small things that make a big difference in peace of mind and animal happiness. I'm open to anything, from as simple as feed and monitor drop-ins to detailed food intake notes and water quality testing. I look forward to giving pet parents that peace of mind that comes with an experienced and dedicated pet caregiver. I am currently studying to finish my degree and have availability for full time care needs on most weekdays and weekends starting from 8 am. I have a locked cabinet for small critters that is safe from our cats and gets multiple visits daily. I provide in home live or full diet feedings, regular environment checks, mistings, etc throughout the day. Play times, bathroom breaks, walks, and cuddles are the perfect transition between school assignments during full house time sitting. You can rest easy knowing that your pet will receive the most attentive care possible, both from home or away.
