About: I've taken care of a variety of mammals (including dogs and cats) my whole life. I am a recent graduate of veterinary school looking to grow in the veterinary industry by getting as much experience as possible with all kinds of animals. Who doesn't want a pet sitter who has veterinary experience. Not only do I know you're friends' needs, I am able to address any medical concerns that you may have. I am unable to do boarding at my own home at this time, but I have plenty of time throughout the week with any kind of service you need. Including overnight stays. ** I provide a complimentary grooming and nail trim if wanted with EVERY visit!! I am comfortable working in any kind of home that you have, I can guarantee you will be satisfied with how well I work with your furry friend.
“Averi did an excellent job at taking care of my two pets. Unfortunately one of them got a nervous tummy and kept having accidents, but Averi was still ensuring that everything was clean and that the animals are feeling better. I would highly recommend her, she always took such lovely pictures of my fur babies. Would definitely book her again ☺️”
“Kathy was amazing! Loved our babies , kept us up to date and sent pictures with every check in !! Even our Old Lady Queen cat loved her ! Definitely is going to be our go to when we need a sitter !!!”
“Elizabeth was very responsive and kind ! She took extra care to follow my notes. I felt totally at peace knowing she was with my babies when I couldn’t be ! I would highly recommend her services to anyone. She’s an above and beyond professional!”
“Maryann does an amazing job! She is punctual and accommodating to my schedule. I love that she communicates with me about Penny’s visits and goes out of her way to make sure everyone is happy.”
“I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention Tamara provided Laddie my nice but barky kinda shy Sheltie. Tamara was very attentive and desirous to make sure Laddie was comfortable and not stressed out. I highly recommend Tamara and will request her to care for my 4-legged boy any time I need to go away without him. Thanks Stan and Laddie”
About: I have worked in the veterinary field for almost 7 years, starting as a kennel assistant where I had to take care of pets (dogs, cats and the occasional bird) who were boarding with us for 3 years. From there, I slowly transitioned to veterinary technician's assistant then to veterinary technician. Though I am not a certified veterinary technician, I am very confident in my ability to take care of the furry members of the family. On occasions for the past 3 years, I have also dog-sat for my family's and friends' dogs. Which consist of me either staying at their place or making long visits to their home to feed, walk, and clean up after their pets. I am currently working on transitioning to a part time job, where I will more time to spend taking care of pets. This means being able to take care of pets for most of the day, for most of the week. In the client's home, my care philosophy is to know where the pet is at all times (and most of the time, know what they are doing). Working in the veterinary field, I understand how quick things can turn bad, so I like to know that pets are okay at all times.
“SUPER late on writing my review, but still wanted to leave one saying Daela was wonderful with taking care of my mom's cats. Very flexible in that my mom has multiple. Daela made sure they were well taken care of while my mom visited over the holidays and sent us updates letting us know how they were doing. Apologies for the years-late review!! Thanks so much Daela!!”
“Had a great experience with this Lauren for drop-in visits for my two dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my pets. I appreciated the updates and photos—it gave me real peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy and well taken care of. I’ll definitely book with Lauren again!”
“Mackenzie is an absolute professional and animal lover with a heart of gold! One-of-a-kind sitting experience. She dropped-in on my two cats during a two week span while we were out of town and the care they recieved was amazing. She follows instructions well and went above and beyond to entertain and look after our babes. Not to mention, she sends the best pics and updates!!! We didn’t have to worry for a single moment that they were happy and cared for. French Fry and Woodstock love their new bff Makenzie!!!”
About: As someone who has lived in a household animated by dogs for most of her life, I have many years of experience caring for them too. Whether your dog is shy or outgoing, active or more leisurely, puppy or adult or elderly - I'm confident I can provide safe, fun and affectionate experience for them while you're away. I'm happy to walk your dog and/or just visit with them at your home. I can bathe your dog, administer medications if needed, and send text/photo updates about my visit with your pet upon request as well. *Because i work full-time and only take Rover bookings on a part-time basis, I'm available during very early am (5-630am) or late afternoon (3-6pm) hours only. My own dog is an indoor dog and very much part of the family. We take special care with his diet and give him the daily walks/exercise he needs - I'll show the same care, concern and affection with your pup too!
“Rachel was so accommodating and helpful when we were out of town on a trip. She kept great communication and loved our dog as her own. I’d absolutely recommend her for any services and i will be a returning customer! A+”
About: I have grown up around all types of animals. It is my passion to care for them and make sure they feel loved. I go the extra mile to make sure everything is good! :) I am currently unemployed, so I have a lot of time to care for pets. Of course not 24/7 because I need to love and care for my Marty! But, my availability is pretty open. I don’t currently allow other pets to come into my home, but I am able to stop by your home, if needed to check on/feed the pets.
About: Ever since I can remember, I've had a deep love for creatures of all kinds. My first pet was a hamster I named Uno when I was five, and ever since then I've always had at least one pet. These have included dogs, cats, mice, ferrets, and turtles! I also have experience caring for friend's pets including birds, snakes, fish, and rats. I currently own two cats named Callie and Friday. They were each found abandoned as kittens and were adopted into our family. I also own three dogs named Lilly, Lolly, and Raven. Lolly and Raven were each rescued as strays, and Lilly is a Chihuahua I've had since she was a tiny puppy. She'll be thirteen as of Valentine's Day 2026, so I also have some experience caring for senior pets. I have a calm presence that pets seem to appreciate, but I'm also ready to have some fun! Walks, fetch, cuddles, I love it all! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time for all your fur baby's wants and needs. There is also a high possibility that I could be available same-day if needed. I will always try my best to create a positive environment and provide a great experience for both you and your pet. I'm patient, gentle, communicate clearly, have attention to detail, respectful of your home, flexible, reliable, and compassionate.

This was my first time using Rover, although I have several friends who have used it and had great experiences. I truly struck gold with Audra! From the very beginning, she was communicative and responsive throughout the booking process, which immediately put me at ease. My dog, Duke, is an anxious boy, but Audra’s calm, patient, and sweet demeanor won him over right away. Seeing how comfortable he was with her gave me complete confidence that he would be well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Audra to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their fur baby. I will definitely be booking with her again in the very near future!
Alyssa is awesome with my rescue girl, Twinkle! Twink is anxious and cautious around new people, but Alyssa quickly won her over, and she loves her afternoon walkies with her new friend. Alyssa is dependable and very responsive to messages and texts. When Twink is with Alyssa, I know that she is being well taken care of and having fun. 10/10 recommend Alyssa!
Had a last minute day trip and needed care for my 2 kitties. She was available on short notice, responded quickly to messages, and was great with them. She sent lots of photos afterwards which I loved looking through! She was competent and followed instructions easily 👍 would definitely hire again!
Overall, an amazing person very dry great communication went above and beyond my dogs were happy when I came home and I can see through the camera that I have at my house that she exercised the dogs by taking them to the park played with them and gave them great care
Regina came recommended by our usual sitters and we couldn't have been more pleased. She was wonderful with our cats, sent lots of pictures and even a few videos while we were gone. She communicated with us very well throughout the entire experience. I would definitely use her again! She even left us a thank you note and a little treat. How sweet is that?!
Sydney was so wonderful, I would book her again in a heart beat! The cats loved her right away, they warmed up to her much faster than other sitters we have had. Sydney sent incredibly detailed updates and look such great care of our cats. I also swear our home was cleaner when we got home than it was when we left. Thanks for everything you did and for giving us so much peace of mind while we were traveling Sydney!
