“"I can’t recommend Leiah enough! She is professional, down-to-earth, friendly, and an excellent communicator. From our meet and greet, it was clear she truly loves dogs and knows how to engage with them. She is punctual and provides great updates (and awesome photos!) which gives me total peace of mind while I’m away. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like her own, Leiah’s the needle in the haystack you are looking for!"”
“We booked our holiday travel a little late in the year and our normal supply of family/friends who cat-sit for us were unavailable. I took a chance on Rover and found Allen and it all worked out splendidly! I met Allen before we left, gave him a quick intro to our cat Lisette, and away we went. I also left written instructions just in case and Allen followed them to a T. He sent photos and a video every day, putting my fears to rest about leaving our cat alone for the first time (we adopted her 6 months ago). I recommend Allen 100%! We will definitely be calling him again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since Ive been in high school! I enjoy spending time with animals and would love to get to know your fur babies more! Im currently working part-time, so I am pretty flexible with dates! Im also in school so only a few days out of my week are blocked off. However if you need last minute booking, feel free to ask! I care for the pet depending on the clients needs! I have cared for animals and knowledgeable on special needs such as medicine and vitamins.
About: Hi there! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From a young age, I felt a special connection with them, and that passion eventually grew into a career dedicated to their health, safety, and well-being. I currently work remotely, full-time, for a nonprofit animal protection organization and have more than eight years of professional veterinary experience. I’ve worked in both a family-owned general practice and a specialty emergency animal hospital. As a companion animal owner myself, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your companion. Whether we’re going for a walk, enjoying playtime, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure your companion receives the attention, safety, structure, and affection they deserve. ❤️ Because I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Outside of occasional errands, travel, or personal commitments, I am generally available for afternoon and evening drop-in visits throughout the week. I am also available for in-home pet sitting, which allows your companion animal(s) to remain in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. PLEASE NOTE, for in-home pet sitting that falls on weekdays (Mon–Fri): As mentioned above, I work remotely and will need WiFi access throughout the day while caring for your companion animal(s). To help protect your network security, I recommend providing me with a temporary or guest password. Whether you’re out of town overnight or away for a few weeks, I am available to provide house and pet sitting in the comfort of your home. I believe it’s often best for companion animals to remain in their familiar environment, where they can maintain their normal routines and feel safe, secure, and comfortable. While you’re away, I will provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, enrichment, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection. I understand that trusting someone with both your companion animal(s) and your home is a big decision. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your companion is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I'm currently in a gap year before starting veterinary school this August! I have several years of animal experience in veterinary assisting and pet care, and hope to bring that background to ensure your pet is happy and healthy under my care! I am also able to provide additional services such as medication administration, nail trims, ear cleanings, and anal gland expressions, at a low cost! I work part-time and am a full time college job student. I like to dog sit during my free time which is most often on the weekends! I follow instructions well and can work with whatever home you have to care for your pets. Thank you for trusting me! Can't wait to meet them!
“Sarah was great with our cat! She was very communicative and also went above and beyond to help bring in deliveries while we were out of town. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Ji Hae was wonderful with our dogs. She came to meet them before we left town. She fed both and medicated our Australian Shepherd/Husky mix. Ji Hae walked both dogs and made sure they had plenty of water. She kept us updated with photos and left the house neat. I’m confident in recommending Ji Hae’s services.”
“Im grateful to have had Donny take care of our cats while we were away! He’s truly a cat whisperer—taking the time to get to know each cat individually and remembering all their unique quirks and preferences. It’s clear he genuinely cares for them, and our cats were comfortable in his hands. Donny would always send us regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected even from afar. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable cat sitter!”
“We can’t say enough about Elaine! She was very responsive from the very beginning and stayed on top on things 100%. She sent us daily reports and gave us updates about Pickles mood, behavior, and health. Great communication haves us peace of mind. We have a 14 yo cat. Even though she doesn’t require medical care, it need to be feed in small chucks. Elaine got the portions just right for the cat to eat without getting sick. She was very patient with Pickles, looked for her, and play with her to keep her as happy as possible. We recommend Elaine 100%.”
“Zulaiha was great! Very caring and playful with my two cats. She was very communicative and shared great pictures each time she stopped by. I would highly recommend booking her!”
About: Dogs are a great l♥️ve of our whole family. I have years of experience living with and caring for pets of all ages and personalities — from energetic puppies and kittens just beginning to discover the world, to dogs and cats of a more distinguished age. I spend almost all of my time at home, so your pet will always be supervised and in good company. I host pets from no more than 2 families at a time — this allows me to give every guest the attention and care they deserve. There is plenty of space in my home to keep pets completely separated if they don’t get along, and if they do — they’ll make a wonderful new friend. My home has a large fully fenced backyard with shade, grass and water — perfect for off-leash walks, active play, and lazy sunny afternoons. My medical background helps me stay attentive to any needs your pet may have. If you have any questions — feel free to reach out. I’d love to answer them, because I understand how important it is to get to know the person you’re trusting with your beloved companion.
About: lovely to meet you! aside from personal experience, I used to volunteer at an Animal Shelter socializing, grooming, playing and providing care for dogs and cats (young and old). I had a cat of my own for 4 years, and adopted a new kitten around a year ago! I grew up taking care of family cats and dogs, and stray cats in my neighborhood. I have a strong love for animals and I would be delighted to meet and care for your furry family members. I currently am not working so I have plenty of time during the week to give the best care to your pets! I'm available Saturday through Sunday with a pretty flexible availability, so I’d be happy to work with your schedule and needs. Before scheduling with me, I'll make sure to ask about any specific home rules, preferred activities for the pets, and anything in the home that I have access to in order to provide the best care for your family member! Feel free to let me know any concerns or give me any rules to follow.
About: Hello friends! Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your dog babies :) I've been caring for dogs for around 10 years after adopting various other animals throughout my childhood. Currently, I'm blessed with spending time with my 11-year-old maltese poodle Daisy and my 7-year-old Roxy. As they proceed through their older years, I'm learning something new about them every day, and cherish every moment I get with them. To anyone who is interested in booking with me, trust that I will love your dog as if it were my own <3 I'm so excited to meet them! I'm currently a full-time student at community college and have a lot of free time on my hands to take care of your dog! Typically, I'm available to drop by or take a walk on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at any time. I love to go for walks and have multiple years of experience walking dogs. I believe communication is super important, so I'll make sure to always keep in contact with you. I'd also be happy to send texts and pictures of your dog throughout the day!
“Ginny was AWESOME! Lisa cat is not especially social, but Ginny managed to engage with her during our nine days away and sent lots of fun pics. The house was well cared for and mail and packages picked up daily. I hope to use Ginny every time we travel!!”
About: I have hands-on experience working in an animal shelter, where I cared for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable providing medication and giving extra attention to pets that require special care, including senior pets or those needing additional support. I also have pets of my own — a dog and a cat — so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always aim to provide dependable, attentive care. I am home for the summer, so I have full availability from June all the way to mid-August! Have a trip, weekend getaway, or last-minute date night? I will be happy to watch your furry friend :) I’m unable to host pets in my own home since I don’t have a yard, but I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable, and high-quality care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while following your routines and instructions to keep them comfortable and happy.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 7. I love to provide videos and pics updates throughout the day for peace of mind. If you have special requests, please let me know. I'm a full time student and I have plenty of the time to play with your pets. Sitting is my way to earn college tuition fee. Thanks for your support! I walk dogs out at least three times per day and they will be gated in the living room with plenty of toys, water and food to match your speciation.
About: I’ve spent the last 10 years walking dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and caring for animals is truly one of my favorite parts of life. I’m super active, love being outdoors, and I’m always excited to take your pets on runs, hikes, or long adventures. If your pet prefers a slower pace, I’m just as happy to enjoy cozy couch cuddles and calm hang-outs. I’m also a cat mom, so I fully understand the different needs and quirks of both dogs and cats. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or just keeping their routine consistent, your pet will be treated like family. My partner and I both have very flexible schedules, which means one of us is always home and available to give your pet attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 💛🐶🐱 I’m self-employed and work entirely on my own schedule, and my boyfriend does the same. Because of that flexibility, we’re able to ensure that someone is always home to give your cat consistent care, attention, and supervision. Your baby will never be left alone for long periods — they’ll have company, comfort, and plenty of love throughout the day. We live in a home with a spacious, fully fenced backyard that has plenty of sun and grass for your pet to enjoy safely. We’re also just one block from a large park with a huge open grass field, perfect for playtime, walks, and outdoor enrichment. I’m a very clean and organized person, and I always clean up after pets and keep spaces tidy. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll make sure everything stays neat, maintained, and respected while you’re away.
About: I got my first dog when I was 8 years old, a Chihuahua named Roxy, who I cared for throughout my life. She grew to be 15 years old! before she made her way over the 🌈 bridge.

I am great with with dogs of any size and understand how important your pup is in your life and I will treat them like my own🥰 I currently work full-time remotely so I am pretty much fully open throughout the week! I am available for drop-ins: Monday-Sunday 8am-10pm. I'm also available for dog sitting in your home! *Please keep in mind I'm only available for house sitting Friday-Sunday* ❗️I am not available on Tuesdays (usually. message me for availability) from 8am-10:30am❗️ I have a very energetic AmStaff so I understand the importance of exercise for your pup!

Kevin was amazing with my cat! I just adopted a very timid and shy cat and Kevin went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and not scared. Kevin was patient with my cat and by the last day, had him eating treats off his hand! Kevin was prompt and fed, watered, and cleaned the litter box. He sent and update and multiple photos everyday. I was really impressed how much he genuinely seemed to care about my cat. It made me feel confident that my little companion was in good hands while I was away. I highly recommend Kevin.
This is our second time booking with Donny, and I just wanted to say how lucky we feel to have found someone so kind, reliable, and trustworthy to take such wonderful care of our kitties. Knowing Donny is looking after them gives me so much peace of mind whenever we’re away. He’s communicative, attentive, and clearly cares about the animals he watched. Our cats are always happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we return. We truly appreciate the care and dedication he puts into every visit, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend!! 🐾❤️
Leiah is absolutely amazing, so patient and kind. My boy is blind and needs alittle extra care and attention and she does just that. Great communication before, during and after visits. Has amazing knowledge in regardless to pet health! Can’t recommend her enough! Besides family she’s who I trust with my baby!
Ji Hae was wonderful with our dogs. She came to meet them before we left town. She fed both and medicated our Australian Shepherd/Husky mix. Ji Hae walked both dogs and made sure they had plenty of water. She kept us updated with photos and left the house neat. I’m confident in recommending Ji Hae’s services.
Ruby was great! I booked last minute when I was out of town because I was having trouble getting someone to stop by and feed my cat. She was willing to stop by same day, even though I was only able to book the next day. She was super attentive and communicative.
Gabby has a great understanding of canine/human dynamics and used that skillset to deliver an outstanding visit with our dogs. Being the first time watching them (Carson & Charlie) in our/their home space, she immediately gained the dog's trust and then expanded the relationship by playing games with them (chase, fetch, etc.). She took them on a pleasant walk through the neighborhood, something both dogs enjoyed very much. Throughout the visit Gabby kept us informed via pictures and videos, which alleviated any pet-parent anxiety we might have had. I wholeheartedly recommend Gabby for your pet care needs. You're welcome to reach out to me for any additional details and/or questions.
I reached out to Sami, met her, and booked her car sitting (twice a day for 1 week while I was away on vacation) all within just 2 days, and the sitting started the day after. She is absolutely incredible; I couldn't be happier with her professionalism and care. She followed every instruction to the letter and went above and beyond in her care of my cat. Highly recommend Sami for any pet care needs!
Third time having Ginny take care of Lisa and our home! Though Lisa is not keen on making new friends, Ginny has done a great job of engaging with her and capturing darling pictures. Ginny responds quickly to sitting requests. Mail and packages are picked up and Lisa is a bit less annoyed upon our return! Looking forward to booking future housesits with Ginny!
Amy was an excellent sitter. My cats warmed up to her quickly and were comforted by her presence. I appreciated the many entertaining pictures in the Rover cards during each check-in. She followed all instructions (feeding schedules, litter checks, and cleaning). She understood the cats' needs beyond just food and litter box emptying and even cleaned extra at the end of the scheduled sitting. I truly appreciate her attention to detail and the care she showed for both my cats and my home. If she's still available the next time I need a cat sitter, I will likely call upon her services again.
