About: I’ve grown up around all types of animals, with dogs and cats having a special place in my heart. In my care, your pet will be treated like family! My extended experience includes caring for senior dogs & cats and dogs & cats with special/ medical needs. My Husky, Prince, is now 11-years-old and has been on prescribed seizure medication (potassium bromide liquid suspension) that I administer to him daily for nearly 5 years now. I can certainly administer all forms of oral medications, such as capsules, pills, and liquids, if your pet is on any prescribed meds or vitamins that must be taken under my scheduled care and supervision! IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Most weekdays, typically Mon., Wed., Thur., & Fri., my two-year-old daughter will be accompanying me on the walks and drop-ins. She absolutely adores animals and is extremely friendly and gentle with every animal she comes in contact with. Please know that every precaution will certainly be taken to ensure everyone’s safe and happy! Please let me know upfront if this is a concern for you. Thank you for considering me to take on the rewarding (and fun) responsibility to hangout with your adorable furry family members!! :) I work from home 100%, as the company I work for is based solely online and pretty flexible! IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Most weekdays, typically Mon., Wed., Thur., & Fri., my two-year-old daughter will be accompanying me on the walks and drop-ins. She absolutely adores animals and is extremely friendly and gentle with every animal she comes in contact with. Please know that every precaution will certainly be taken to ensure everyone’s safe and happy! Please let me know upfront if this is a concern for you. Before my beloved Husky, Prince, passed away in 2024, we walked several times a day. Especially as he became older, he needed to go out more often. I grew up with animals all my life - pets were always in my home whether they were my families, pets of extended family member’s, or of friends. I have cared for pretty much all of the animals in my family! When someone goes on vacation or needs someone to watch their cat or dog for a day or so, I’m always their first call and I love it (and they know it lol) :D With me, you can trust that your home will be carefully looked after, and your furry family members will always be given lots of love and snuggles, if they let me hehe :) I will follow your house rules and pet care instructions to the T, with no step left out! Aside from any specific or special instructions for caring for your pet, I will always make sure your litter box(es) and any possible pee or poop accidents are cleaned!!

4. Brendon T.
“Had my pup's first stay with Brendon and we were very pleased! Milo was well cared for, appears Brendon has easily became one of his fave people (which is hard with milo being scared of everyone). Played with him and took him on long walks through the forest! Brendon was great and kept me updated with pictures. I will definitely book again!”


5. Noelle A.

“Amazing sitter! My kitty kitty couldn’t wait for her to arrive every day. Going above and beyond, sitting and spending time with my kitty, making sure he had plenty of pets and love. Changing his food and water daily with multiple photos and videos to keep me in the loop. Noelle did a fantastic job and definitely will be using her again!”

“Nervana was wonderful! My dogs require medication 2x a day and she ensured they received everything they needed. The pictures she sent at each visit put my mind at rest. Thank you!!”


7. Gabriella B.

“Gabriella was so amazing to work with! We felt safe leaving our 3 cats in her care and she always provided thorough updates. Our cats are pretty wary of strangers and she was great at balancing giving them their space but also showing them affection. We would 100% recommend booking Gabriella and are looking forward to working with her again in the future. We had an overall lovely experience booking with Gabriella, and were able to fully enjoy ourselves on our two weeks away knowing our cats were safe and well cared for.”

9. T'Keyah F.

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was a teenager. Whether it was going to a relatives house or taking local neighbors dogs on walks. I am very flexible and I am able to accommodate early and late drop offs. I am available during the week, weekends and many of the holidays. I sweep daily to keep small objects off the floor. I keep an eye on the dog at all times. If the dog is crate trained I follow the same schedule that you have.

She understands the unique needs for all types of animals. I trust Jordan completely when she cares for my pets!

About: hello! we are Aleena and Katie, moms to our two human kids and two fur babies! we just recently had to put down our 5 year old mix lab suddenly due to cancer that came out of nowhere. We have both grown up with dogs our whole life. So we have done everything with our dogs from baths, to giving them medicine if need be to long walks and swimming at the beach! We both work in Public schools so we have weekends, holidays, and summers off! We don't travel much right now besides going to work. All our pets are taken care of before work and after work. They have free range of the house and are allowed on the furniture. we have a high fenced in yard that we are out in often with our kids weather permitted. The kids love to play tug of war or fetch with the dogs.

17. Anthony T.
“Anthony T is a great pet caregiver! He has been a long time friend of mine and took care of both my cat and dog multiple times throughout the years where I had spent time out of town due to business or personal reasons. Anthony has always been my go-to for a pet-sitter! His charisma and positive energy definitely put the pets in a great attitude and he is easy to remain in touch w during my time away. Extremely friendly and reliable”

“I know Kate for about 30 years. She always loves dogs and watch dog training videos and lessons continuously. She is patient, friendly, and responsible person. She will take care of pets with her greatest efforts.”


19. Ursula M.

“The best of the best!!! If I could give Ursula a million stars I would. She watched my three cats when we went on a family vacation. I was nervous leaving them in the care of a stranger. She came to my house to meet me and them, and the second I met her I felt at ease and knew my babies were going to be in great hands. She is a licensed vet tech which certainly was a plus for me, but besides that, her entire demeanor was just wonderful. She did twice daily drop in visits and sent me pics, videos and write ups about each visit assuring me that my babies were all doing great. She literally went above and beyond and I thank my lucky stars that Rover led us to her. I am now spoiled and can never use another pet sitter, because she truly is the best.”


20. Amira A.
“Amira and her husband have been my go to sitters for some time now. They are a lovely young couple who are dedicated to ensuring that they deliver the best service they can and they really do have the best hearts for dogs. You are in excellent hands!”
