“Adriana is the BEST. From the moment I met her, I knew she would care as much about my fur babies as I did. She was kind and reassuring… And highly qualified. her presence in my home, reassured me that my fur babies would be very well while I was on vacation. She fed them, played with them and loved them just as I do. She kept their food areas and litter boxes, meticulously clean. She even cleaned in my kitchen before I came home and left me a welcome home that meant so much. Adriana showed compassion, care, and commitment to the be the best pet sitter! I would highly recommend her to others who are looking for someone to care for their for babies as much as they do!”
“Falesha is THE BEST! I was new to trusting anyone other than family to care for our sweet rescue pup, Louie. Louie is a man who requires much patience and a gentle, caring spirit, and Falesha exceeds delivery every time. She is prompt, communicative, entirely trustworthy, and very gentle and patient with our skittish man. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone without hesitation. We consider ourselves blessed to have found her!”
“Angela really helped out in a pinch! We had a super last minute need for someone to pop in and walk our dog, George. Angela got back to us right away and saved our butts! Thanks so much, Angela!”
“It was clear from the moment she entered my home, Kelly is kind, gentle, and nurturing. She was patient as my 8-week old puppy got to know her during our meet-n-greet, always smiling and talking sweetly to him. After her first visit, her report of her time with my puppy was thorough and enjoyable to read. She followed all of my instructions for his training and routine to a T, and allowed me to come home to a happy, relaxed puppy. If you're unsure about going through a service like Rover, rest assured - You can trust Kelly with your furbaby.”
“Stephanie was so great with Beau! We felt so comfortable leaving him on our trip knowing he would be take care of. Loved all the pictures we got and could tell he was enjoying himself!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals, and we had many different types of pets when I was growing up. I would sometimes also visit shelters to walk/spend time with the animals there. When I went to college I decided to adopt my very first kitten Salem and he’s been growing and thriving alongside me ever since. After a difficult breakup, Salem and I moved in with some friends of mine who are very regular Rover walkers and boarders. I learned a lot from my experiences with them in handling and caring for different types of animals while also creating relationships with pet parents. After moving out, I now do a lot of my work from home so my availability is fairly open and flexible. I enjoy being in nature, taking long walks, and furry snuggles so if you’re looking for a friendly face to take care of your furry friend, I just might be your girl! I currently do most of my work from home so I am available most days. I do have reoccurring meetings from 10am-12pm on Mondays and Wednesdays but am available before and after. As of right now I do work a serving job that ranges from 1-3 days (Friday-Sunday evenings) however I am looking to supplement the money I’m making there with Rover so my calendar can be more open. I am open to helping you keep your pets routine as normal as possible through your advice and instruction. I am able to put them in crates if needed, feed, and water, offer playtime, take nice walks, and of course pick up after them with provided materials.
“Thoroughly enjoyed my interactions with Kimberly! She checked in on my cats while I was away and sent tons of photos which I greatly appreciated. She also kept the feeding areas clean since my cats can be messy eaters.”
“Sue was amazing with my Queenie baby! Highly recommend her taking care of your fur babies. She goes above and beyond (even offers to water your plants while you’re away!).”
About: I’m a calm, gentle, and intuitive animal caregiver with experience ranging from dogs and cats to reptiles, rodents and even farm animals! (This profile only covers "other" animals allowed by Rover, of course.) I’ve always felt a natural connection with animals, and I’m great at interpreting body language, understanding their perspective, and helping shy or anxious pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether I’m walking a dog, checking on a reptile enclosure, or caring for a small herd of farm animals, I bring patience, attention to detail, and a strong focus on safety. I’m observant, reliable, and committed to providing thorough, individualized care for every animal I meet. I currently have flexible availability and offer a fully customizable experience — photos, videos, calls, detailed updates, whatever helps you feel connected and confident while you’re away! I’m also happy to work with budgets when possible, because quality care should be accessible. Animals are truly my passion, and I treat every pet as if they were my own!! Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly rhythm. I structure my days around animal needs, whether that’s morning dog walks, midday check‑ins, or evening visits for cats or other small creatures. I currently have flexible availability, so I’m able to accommodate a wide range of visit times. As my schedule evolves, I’ll continue keeping my calendar updated and prioritizing consistent, reliable care for my regular clients. No matter what my week looks like, caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make space for every day! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my focus is always on maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, safe, and predictable environment. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, comfort level, and communication style so I can meet them exactly where they are — whether that means quiet companionship, structured play, or giving them space to warm up at their own pace. For dogs, I follow their usual walking, feeding, and enrichment routines, and I’m attentive to body language, energy levels, and any changes in behavior. I offer walks, drop‑ins, hikes, and even social play dates with my own friendly dog if requested. For cats, I respect their unique boundaries and personalities. I provide gentle, patient care with litter maintenance, feeding, enrichment, and plenty of observation to ensure they feel secure. I’m confident with shy or anxious cats and let them set the tone for each visit. For other pets, I pay close attention to habitat conditions, feeding schedules, lighting/heat requirements, and species‑specific behaviors. I’m experienced with reptiles, small animals, and farm animals, and I take great care to follow detailed instructions and maintain safe, stable environments. Must not be a prohibited species per Rover policies. Across all species, I’m observant, safety‑minded, and detail‑oriented. I provide thorough updates with photos, videos, or calls — whatever helps you feel connected and reassured! My goal is always to offer reliable, compassionate care that keeps your pets comfortable and your home respected while you’re away.
About: I have worked at animal hospital for 6 years to be involved in treatment of dogs and cats after that, worked at veterinary University as researcher for four years. I'm currently working full time on weekdays, but my job is flexible. I am also happy to take care of dogs and cats on weekend and have your pet at our house over weekend. I can have a small dog at our house and take care of any dogs and cats at your house. My house has only one hamster that stay inside the cage, therefore there is no chance for your pet to interfere with other animals. Around our house, there is no busy traffic, therefore we can take dogs a walk safety.
“It is hard finding a reliable cat sitter but Ashley did a great job taking care of my kitty. She was punctual, followed my instructions and sent updates after each visit. Will definitely book again.”
About: My family and I have had pets ever since I was born. Currently, I have a German Shepard and 3 cats. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and keeping kitties company. I worked with a “puppies and yoga” business where I had to handle 6-10 puppies for 8 hours a day. One of my cats has diabetes and I have been administering insulin for almost a year. I can follow a feeding schedule, am flexible and all ages and sizes are fine with me! I am searching for a side gig to compliment my 30 hour work week at Whole Foods Market. I have my own pet care routine daily at home. Whatever the owner needs, I will take into serious consideration since I know what it is like to love and cherish our pets. I am trustworthy and find importance in keeping things tidy and organized.
“Madison was kind, professional, and every bit the animal lover we had hoped, our cats are super shy but they liked her and thats proof enough for us that she's good people!”
“Oscar is such a pleasure to work with. He is easy and timely with communication and visits. We have really appreciated his service and how easy he is to communicate with. Could not be happier!”
“Haley is fabulous! She kept my cat fed, clean and loved. And she took care of me too with her reassuring photos and messages. At one point my cat peed outside of the box and Haley offered to take him to the vet if it continued (uti?). I thought that was above and beyond - it mattered a lot that she cared about him. Will definitely call Haley again!”
“Penny was fantastic! She took excellent care of our cat while we were away, giving us total peace of mind. Not only was our cat happy and well looked after, but Penny also went above and beyond by watering our flowers and feeding our fish. Everything was just as we left it or better! We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley is such a joy! And our kitties loved being spoiled rotten! So many ear rubs and good scratches! Ashley is prompt and excellent communication. She is very conscientious and caring. Thank you Ashley !!”
“Candace was wonderful!!! She came twice a day for a week to feed and let out my two large dogs. She gave them treats and some joint medication on her visits. I loved getting a few photos every day and could communicate very quickly with her. I feel great knowing I have someone I can call in the future to take care of them.”

Fawn loved her time with Kimberly!! I got the cutest video and photo updates. Kimberly did such a good job making Fawn comfortable and paying attention to my detailed notes. I came back home from work to a very happy dog. Will definitely be using Kimberly again!!
Katie was amazing! She came over to meet Fawn a few days before checking in on her, and Fawn loved her right away. Katie was so good at keeping up with the details of my crazy notes and also keeping me updated throughout the day with pictures. I will definitely be working with her again!! Thanks for taking care of my baby Katie ❤️
Kidda did an incredible job with my cats! They made sure they were fed, had enough water, and were overall set on necessities and then spent a good amount of time playing with and loving on them, going beyond what I'd even asked. I got lots of great pictures and my cats were clearly super comfortable with them! Overall, I'm very pleased with the care that my cats got and would be thrilled to book Kidda again in the future :)
She did an amazing job! Trixie seemed very happy to have Trinity in her company. She was smiling ear to ear in every picture. I really appreciate her help me out with such short notice. I will be definitely using her services again. Thank you soo much Trinity and Rover for having this service available it was a lifesaver!
Oscar has been such a blessing for both of us. He is so kind and easy to work with. Our senior beagle adores him and enjoys having him come over to visit when we are both busy at work. Oscar will be a welcome addition to your pets life and you will not regret hiring him. One million stars!!!!
Fantastic sitter! I booked last minute and Jada was very available for what I needed in a pinch and super detail oriented. I was a little flustered having to leave my puppy for a day last minute but Jada made me feel so confident that my baby was taken care of! 10/10 will definitely book again, thanks Jada!
Haley is fabulous! She kept my cat fed, clean and loved. And she took care of me too with her reassuring photos and messages. At one point my cat peed outside of the box and Haley offered to take him to the vet if it continued (uti?). I thought that was above and beyond - it mattered a lot that she cared about him.
