About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I truly love animals. I have several years of experience caring for pets for friends and family and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I provide a safe, calm and loving environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy walking, playing and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I always send photos and updates so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness and comfort are always my priority. During the week I am available in the mornings and early afternoons (8 AM – 4:30 PM). I attend classes from 5:30 PM to 8:15 PM, but I am available again in the evenings after that if needed. On weekends I have more flexibility and can work mornings or afternoons. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When I stay in a pet owner’s home, I follow their routines and instructions carefully to keep their pets relaxed and happy. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, just like they were my own.
“This was my first time leaving my cat with someone new, and I was really stressed. But she took great care of him, kept me updated with pictures, and made my last-minute trip so much easier. Thank you!!”
“I’ll never stop giving Bekah 5 stars. She goes above and beyond every time and makes me feel so much better about leaving my senior cat. I’m so grateful for her!”
About: Hi there! I’m new to the Rover App but not new to caring for fur babies. The past 4 years I’ve had experience dog sitting for my older sister, who has a four year old Lab mix named Harper. I’ve watched Harper for weekends at a time feeding, walking, playing with her when my sister is out of town. I’ve also had the privilege of dog sitting for neighbors, dropping in their home while they are away and letting their fur babies out and feeding them. I currently live with a roommate who has a cat that I care for when need be as well. I love animals, and though I don’t have any of my own. I’ll take care of yours as if it was. Right now I’m only available for dog walking and drop-ins in your home. Not accepting over night sitting in my home at the moment. Book with me and have peace of mind your fur baby is cared for and loved while you’re away. I work full time throughout the week from Sundays-Thursdays. I usually work from 1pm-9pm or 3pm-11pm Though out the week. I’m free both Fridays and Saturdays anytime! I make sure the pets are getting the proper respect and care they need. I’m also well organized so I won’t miss any deadlines if the pet needs to take their medications or even a vet appointment if need be. I’ll make sure they get their food/water and that they use the bathroom on time as well. I also like to play with the pets to keep them engaged and have them not feeling too bored as well.
“Sophia is amazing!! She did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Oreo. Oreo is a loving cat also and looked forward to Sophia’s daily visits. He would start meowing before she could even open the door. She cleaned up his litter that he tracked through the house and ensured he got a full 30 minutes of playtime. She also checked that he had fresh water daily. I would definitely use her again if I’m out of town.”
“Dana was absolutely fantastic with our two cats. Such peace of mind! She even managed to give one of them the asthma inhaler which I wasn’t sure our cat would accept from someone else than me. Highly recommend!”
About: I've taken care of animals of all sorts, as I grew up with a farm. I've always had at least 3 pets, and know how to manage any situations. I've volunteered for multiple animal kennels and helped put animals up for adoption. My most significant accomplishment is working with the AWA for over 4 years now. As a college kid, I only have classes during the mornings, and the rest of the day is usually free. There are only 2 days a week where my classes get done later (around 3 PM). This gives me tons of time for pet care! I live in an accessible area where there are lots of outdoor areas and dog-specific parks, but my place itself is spacious with no other roommates or pets. This ensures a comfortable environment for any animal.
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for many years and have experience caring for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, giving dogs attention, and keeping their normal routines while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, so I’m patient and attentive to their individual routines. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m available for pet sitting, walks, and boarding depending on the day. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I have two friendly dogs of my own and have experience caring for pets for friends and family. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also happy to provide updates while you’re away.
About: I've been an avid pet lover for as long as I can remember. I attended UNC-Chapel Hill and earned my veterinarian medical technician degree. I specialize in senior dogs needing special care, food and medication. I can administer all medications oral, topical as well as injections. I have cared for the smallest to the largest of all breeds. Pet sitting is my full time job. My daily and weekly routines revolves around the dogs in my care. I never leave them alone more than 2hrs at a time and I only do that for doctors appointments. My dog Porkchop is a medical service animal and goes everywhere I go, except when I sit at someone else's house. I have a large fenced in backyard and I have a small service dog to keep your baby company. Your babies will be allowed on the furniture and the bed unless you don't want them too. I don't use kennels unless you want me to and you will have to provide the kennel. Your babies will have full access to my entire house. If I sit in your home I go by all of your rules for your baby. On drop in visits I will feed your pet and walk them as well as give plenty of love and play time. For walking visits I will give your baby a twenty minute walk and give them fresh water and a treat or two if they are allowed to have them.

About: My approach to pet sitting is centered around patience, safety, affection, and making each pet feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every animal in my care like family and do my best to maintain the routines, boundaries, and care instructions that their pet parents have established. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and have their individual routine and needs respected. Depending on their personality and care instructions, they’ll enjoy plenty of playtime, walks, exercise, affection, and opportunities to relax and feel comfortable.

I provide a safe, welcoming environment with two spacious patios and plenty of grass for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. Pets are never left without someone available to care for them—we work as a team, and either my husband or I will be present and attentive to their needs throughout their stay. With your permission and depending on your pet’s comfort level and routine, I can also take them to a local dog park for additional exercise and socialization. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully and make sure every pet receives the supervision, attention, and care they need to feel secure and at home.
“Shayla was amazing with my fur-baby! She followed instructions as directed, communicated daily, provided prompt responses, and arrived on-time for scheduled check-ins and walks. For example, my dog is given multi-vitamins twice daily and Shayla followed those instructions. She was flexible with her schedule: as I needed to add check-in services and accommodated my last minute requests. She showed some much love and patience towards my fur-baby during my extended trip with lots of hugs, belly rubs and play, which added the comfort my fur-baby needed. I would highly recommend Shayla to anyone who is seeking someone who is truly passionate about caring for your pet, has excellent communication skills, and is extremely reliable. We look forward to booking Shayla again!!”

Rachel was so professional and attentive! My cat and dog were comfortable with her instantly after their first visit; she has been watching Lulu and Carson for almost 6 years. She followed all of the directions we left and is always very accommodating when I ask her to change the booking times. Rachel is friendly, respectful and trustworthy. Would recommend her services to all cat/dog parents !!
We couldn’t be happier with our pet sitter! They were reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring with our pet. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our pet was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.
Sarah is an amazing Rover! I’ve only used Rover once ever (literally the day before with a different rover) and I was a bit nervous leaving my apartment and cat alone with a stranger. Sarah made me (and my cat) feel a lot better about being away for a few days. She was professional and kind and I came home to a clean litter box and a breathing cat! Couldn’t ask for much more. Thank you Sarah!
