“Katya did a great job taking care of Benny while we were away! She is very sweet and responsible. Benny snuggled up to her in no time. She took great care of our home too. Would re-book without hesitation!”

About: Hi there! My name is Leah, and I’m a 22 year old college student who absolutely loves animals! I’m new to Rover but definitely not new to pet sitting. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and even homes for family friends and neighbors whenever they needed a trustworthy sitter while on vacation💕I know how important it is to have someone reliable who will love and care for your pets just like you do. Whether it’s going for walks, giving belly rubs, cleaning litter boxes, or just keeping your furry friend company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away🐾🥰 What You Can Expect: ✨ Lots of love and attention for your pets ✨ Regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re doing great and in good hands ✨ Flexibility with scheduling and communication I have cats at home, so I only offer care in your home.. which usually works out best since pets are happiest in their own space anyway! 🐾 I’m patient, caring, and detail oriented, and I take pride in treating every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves playtime or prefers a calm presence, I’ll adapt to their needs and personality. Can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 💕🐶🐱 Pet care easily fits into my flexible college schedule! I love spending my mornings and evenings caring for animals, it’s the best part of my day😊 I only offer care in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own space. I make sure to follow your instructions closely and keep their routine consistent!💕💕

“Richard was on time, he was great with my dog. He even walked him, I appreciate that a lot as it wasn't a requirement.. Thankyou for being so great..I'd definitely ask them to watch Hammy again. Susannah was not feeling well today so we didn't get to meet her this time..”

About: I’ve own dogs for a majority of my life. Every pet I’ve owned has lived a long and healthy life. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a soft spot for senior dogs due to my experiences growing up with them.🐶 I am usually available every day past 4:00pm due to my work schedule. I don’t have a curfew so I am willing to go on walks late at night if needed. I am a very respectful person, I will care for your pets and home as if they were my own. I will keep in constant contact to ensure I am maintaining a high standard of care.

“Susan is amazing! We are so lucky to have found her. Our bernedoodle, Benny, adores her. He even snuggled with her all night. She took lots of photos and took great care of our house. She is very communicative, kind, responsible, and had a great immediate connection with Benny. She is the best dog sitter we have had.”

“Sophia was an excellent dog & house sitter for us! She was able to come last minute for a meet and greet before we took a weekend away. She was prompt and communicative, and we came back to two happy, relaxed pups.”

Sophia A.

“Great sitter. Last minute booking so super grateful. The puppers loved her and sent a bunch of pictures during their time together. A+”

About: I am very friendly and approachable. I am also punctual and have experience dealing with an extensive feeding schedule so I will make sure they are fed on time! I am also active so I am physically able to do longer walks. I also have experience dealing with a very territorial kitty so I do have the patience to meet them wherever they are at and warm up to them. I am working part-time so I am a graduate student as well! Due to class, I will be able to provide pet care services, early morning before 5am-7am or evenings from 4:30pm - 8pm. As for drop-ins, I am very wary of the different personalities and make sure that they feel comfortable me entering their space. As soon as we can overcome that awkward barrier of getting to know each other, I love cuddling with doggies and constant pets.

“She came in and saved me in the last minute. She took care of my house and my beloved puppy and sent me a video of her running around with her adorable pup. I'm so grateful for Crystal would definitely call her again”

About: With years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, I understand that every animal is unique. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior cat who loves a gentle routine, or an energetic dog in need of extra exercise, I provide personalized attention to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart? ✅ **Reliable & Attentive:** I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their well-being and emotional needs. ✅ **Experienced in Special Care:** I’m familiar with administering medications, handling senior pets, and understanding different temperaments. ✅ **Flexible & Communicative:** I keep pet parents updated with detailed check-ins, photos, and reassurance that their furry family member is in great hands. ✅ **Passionate About Enrichment:** Whether it’s stimulating playtime, structured walks, or maintaining a comforting routine, I focus on keeping pets happy and engaged. I take pride in building trust—not just with pets, but with their humans too. If you're looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter who goes above and beyond, I’d love to connect! I work mostly from home, so I'll have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pets. I do occasionally have to go out, but I never exceed a 4-5 hour period of leaving your pets alone. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them in their familiar surroundings while maintaining their routine. I respect their space, provide companionship, and ensure they have everything they need—from fresh water and meals to enriching playtime and walks. Communication is key, so I keep pet parents updated with regular check-ins, photos, and any necessary observations.

“Ryan house sat and watched our two dogs for the first time. He took great care of the dogs and house. It was nice to come home to happy dogs! Will use him again!”

“Mesgana was fantastic. Our girls loved her from The moment they first met her at the meet and greet (which is unusual for our standoff-ish Akita) We came home to our normal dogs happy to see us but not that desperate “where have you been?- energy” Mesgana was so conscientious and took care with the whole house! I had to reach out regarding some deliveries during the trip and she handled that with grace even though it wasn’t at all what she signed up for !”

Nicole D.

“I’m so grateful for the wonderful care Lindsay provided to both my home and my dog while I was away. She was attentive, responsible, and provided thoughtful updates to give me peace of mind. It was such a relief to return to a happy pup and a tidy home. Thank you for doing such a great job!”

Rachel S.

“Shawna was reliable, flexible, communicated well and in a timely manner, worked really well with our dog, and cared for our home like her own. If there was something that came she didn’t hesitate to let us know. Thanks Shawna, we would be happy to hire you again!”

Erin G.

“Diane took such good care of my pup while he was recovering from knee surgery. He is under strict bed rest, and Diane knew how to approach him to keep him calm to prevent him from re-injuring himself. Diane was also very knowledgeable about handling injured dogs, so I felt comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Diane is also very responsive and punctual, all things you look for when trusting someone else to care for your furry family members. I highly recommend Diane!”

“Mitchell was an amazing 2 dog ? ?/house sitter while we were on an 8 day vacation. From first contact and thru the stay his communication was excellent. I was so much more relaxed being away knowing that my 2 lab/spaniel mix sisters were in capable hands. They can be difficult and Mitchell wasn’t intimidated by them. I would hire him again for sure.”

Lynn G.

“Taylor is responsible for, kind, smart, and wonderful with dogs! We have a Blue Heeler mix who is picky about who he likes and he bonded with her immediately. She took him on the long walks that he needs and also gave him the love he needed to be happy and relaxed when we came home. Our home was left spotless and our dog was happy. What more could we ask for?! We will definitely engage her again without hesitation!”

Claire H.

“It was our first time using Rover and a pet sitter. We were unsure about having a stranger take care of our dog and stay in our house. Edward’s calm demeanor helped put us and our dog at ease. Edward is considerate, responds in a timely manner and is dependable. We would have him stay again.”
