“Miranda was so great with my fur babies. She made sure to confirm that the dog had his pills so I didn't have to worry and my dogs can be a lot, but she did a great job handling them and my cats usually don't want to be too social but they were calling to her so obviously they could tell she was a god one😊 Miranda gave me peace of mind so I could focus on my trip and as a helicopter pet parent, that's a big deal!”

“Jordan has become our go to for taking care of our girls. I honestly feel like they enjoy it when we leave now cause they get time w their back up human. As always, Thank you Jordan!”

“This is the second time I have had James come and care for my cats while I am out of town. He was very communicative and gave detailed updates and pictures of my cats which was really nice. I would definitely recommend him if you need cat care!”

“Caitlin was amazing with my cats while I was gone! She provided me with thorough updates and silly pictures. She definitely made me feel a lot better about leaving them home alone for the first time. I’ll definitely see if she is available again in the future the next time I go on a trip :) thank you, Caitlin!!”

“Shemoy was great taking care of our two kitties and drop in visits! She kept us informed for each of her visits with pictures and she was always quick to respond to any messages. We will definitely have her back!”

“Tia is awesome! She is attentive to our puppy’s needs and professional. We are new to Rover and Tia took the time to help us navigate the app to make setting up drop ins even easier! I highly recommend her!!”

“Jessica was great with our three dogs. One of them is pretty skittish and she was patient with her, as it can be difficult to get her to come out of her crate when someone she doesn’t know well is letting her out. She was also very thorough on our meet and greet and took notes which I appreciated. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Torrie is someone you can fully trust with your pets! She is extremely prompt in communicating, takes the best pictures, and your dogs and cats will have the best time! She’s perfect for all pet parents, especially anxious ones 😅 She has such a sweet spirit about her too. Thanks again Torrie!”


“Jennifer was great with Shadow and all the updates made it alot easier to not have loads of guilt being away. I am definitely planning to booking with Jennifer again.”

“Amazing caregiver of two dogs, Eli and Lucy, as well as our cat, Dallas. We were gone for more than a week in which Linda enabled us to have a great time on our vacation knowing that our fur kiddos are in good care. We would 100% ask for Linda to care for them again. Thank you so much, Linda.”

About: Decades of loving on my own pets. Has an understanding of training as I’ve owned many dogs with different temperaments. Preschool teacher that understands patience and is nurturing and loves to play! Ideally, I would like pet care to become a full-time job depending on getting clients. I have a deep love for animals and have appreciated and used sitters from Rover myself. My schedule currently is very open and I’m looking for new clients. I have a fenced in yard and take walks on the beach at the bay. I do have fur babies of my own and they are very friendly if your dog needs socialization. If needed I can crate your animals if requested.
About: I’ve had a dog in my home ever since I was 5 years old and couldn’t imagine not having one around. They are more than just a pet, they’re family to me. In high school, I cared for two teachers dogs, 2 German shepherds and 1 boxer, and they would always brag about how much their dogs loved me. I treat others animals as if they were my own because that’s the love and care animals deserve. I’ve had small dogs in my home, but have cared for larger dogs so I have experience with all sizes and have the ability to handle them all. You can be assured that your dog will be left in great hands and will be treated as they should be.

“Okay, here's a review you can use for your cat sitter: I can't say enough good things about Kasenia! Leaving my cats with someone is always a little stressful, but she put my mind completely at ease. Kasenia sent me daily updates and photos, and it was clear my cats were getting lots of love and attention. I came home to a happy and relaxed cats. Highly recommend!”

About: I have a variety of pet care experience, from a board in kennel worker, to a kennel technician at a humane society, and my own lived experience with 5 different dogs across my lifetime. I've never met a dog I couldn't get along with! I'm patient and give all the care I can to any animal in my care! I'm a graduate college student so if you need pet care during the week, it will have to be after 5 or before 9. The weekends are completely free and I would be happy to watch your dog or cat all day!! When I'm taking care of pets, I follow whatever routine is given to me as closely as possible. This includes regular feeding, letting dogs out to the go to the bathroom or play, and sitting with the dogs as much as I can, whether that be in the same room with them, or actively petting and playing with them. I try to be as present and caring as possible and I will follow any rules you have for your animals!
