“We couldn’t have asked for better care of our animals and house while we were away. Sarah did a great job keeping us updated on our pets and really did an outstanding job.”

“Faith was our first Rover sitter and will be our go to from here on out. She spent a week with our older dogs who require a lot of patience and care. She met their every need and then some. She goes above and beyond in every way. We received updates and pictures throughout her stay. She left the house clean and even left a wonderful letter and treats. Thank you, Faith, for all you did for our fluffy babies.”
“Declan was fantastic with our two labs! He is super accommodating to specific schedules and care requests and was really responsive. We loved our daily pictures! Definitely would recommend him and work with him again.”


About: Throughout my childhood I have owned and raised dogs of all sizes. I also have experience with working at a barn where I gained hands-on experience with daily animal care routines and ensuring the well-being of many animals including cats. I genuinely love all animals and enjoy taking care of them. I am a college student returning home for the summer and I’m planning to make pet care my full-time focus. I have a very flexible schedule and can be available most days and times. I’m responsible, reliable and committed to making this my top priority. You can count on me to be consistent and dependable when caring for your dog. At home I have three large dogs and a fenced in backyard for my high-energy dogs. My dogs are fed twice a day and receive daily vitamins and medications with their meals.
“We are very happy to have had Kya stay with our little senior pug Mattie for the weekend. Communication was excellent & we appreciated the photos and reassurances that everything was going well. Will definitely contact Kya again when needed.”

“Trina is such a lifesaver. We had a dog sitter lined up who had to bail on us about 12 hrs before we were supposed to leave on our first ever Disney vacation. She responded to my message immediately, was available on short notice and honestly spoiled the heck out of my dog! My dog is a senior citizen and takes 2-4 meds a day. She made sure he got all his meds, followed an intricate feeding schedule, and loved him as her own. She checked in with me daily to assure us he was doing well. She also helped feed our fish and turtle. What a lifesaver! We returned to happy animals and a very clean house. We will definitely be using Trina for all our vacations from here on out!”

“I’ve used Josh several times now and have always been very happy with how well he takes care of my dog and my home. I have a very sweet but reactive dog and he handles him great! I have peace of mind when I’m away with Josh knowing Diesel and my home are well cared for. This past time my flights home were changing frequently due to weather so I wasn’t sure what time I was going to be home. Josh was very flexible and able to work with me which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend him!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was probably around ten years old. Making sure they are fed, played with, and petted are all ways to show them they are pampered and loved, and that’s something I strive to do! I work a part time job, but I can always do my best to make my schedule flexible. The only unchanging thing I have is going to the gym for about an hour, but I will always come right back! My service is completely up to you! If your furry friend needs to go in the kennel for a little bit, I can do that. If he or she needs to be walked for an hour every day, I can absolutely do that as well. Once again, my service ends wherever you need it to!
“Excellent sitter! The dogs loved her and she is very conscientious and reliable! Totally cares about your pets lm! I feel totally comfortable having her stay in my home! She stayed several days while I was out of town for a few days.”

“Very sweet girl with a kind heart for pitties, took good care of my senior girls as well as following instructions to be able to give my girls the care they need, especially when I wasn't home. Would definitely re-book with her”

About: Growing up we had 3 cats, all of which lived over 20 years. I currently have a 13 year old cat who we got when she was a kitten, a 10 year old rescued pit mix we've had for 8 years, and a 6 year old Aussie mix rescue that we've had for 4 years. I firmly believe pets are family and they deserve to have the same love and care we give to our human family. I'm comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds. I can administer pills and ear drops, and adhere to any special diets and regimens. I also have experience with (my own) reactive dog, so that does not scare me. I work from home full time so house sitting is my main interest as it's easiest for me to work around. I can take breaks to drop in or walk dogs during the day, but my main availability for drop ins will be before 8 am, after 5 pm, and weekends. I work from home full time so my drop in availability mostly limited to mornings before 8 and evenings after 5. House sitting & overnights during the week are not a problem as long as I can get my kid to school and and work from my laptop. I will be available most weekends for house sitting and drop ins. Unfortunately, my two dogs only like each other (and they tolerate the cat), so we cannot board any pets in our home. I believe pets are a part of the family, so mine are treated like children, and yours would receive the same level of care and attentiveness. I regularly trust my Rover sitters to keep my pets safe and I would be absolutely gutted if anything happened to my pets, so I know exactly how much you are trusting me with the well-being of your animals, and that is not a responsibility I take lightly.
“I couldn’t be more grateful for the care Tanya provided our two dogs! They are two rescues who can be a bit challenging at times, but she was so patient, understanding, and handled them with so much love. It gave me a real peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I grew up on an acreage and we always had cats and dogs. I can administer shots and medication and have experience bottle feeding kittens and bunnies. I love animals and understand that each one is different and deserves love. I am patient and careful with each pet, giving them the attention they need and feel most comfortable with. I have a soft spot for senior animals. I am a teacher, so I am available all summer for your pet sitting needs! During the school year, I am only available on the weekends or after school check-ins. I will follow all directions and rules for taking care of your pet(s). Each one is special and I understand they all have their own needs. I am great at going with the flow with your pet and letting them lead the activity.

About: I've had animals all my life. I love spending any free time walking and playing with my own dogs!! Taking care of them is my specialty. I grew up with an Alaskan Malemute--so I had my hands full with her, but she was the best dog any little girl could've had. Also, an old manager of mine had a husky puppy, and when she would go on vacations (maybe 4-5 times a year), I would watch him and stay over at her house for long periods of time. I'm currently working as an Amazon delivery driver. I work Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Because I am usually gone all day on my routes (about 10-hour days), I am unavailable during the day, but after 8:30 p.m. I can stop in or stay overnight if needed. On any other days of the week (Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays) I am free all day. I would let them out frequently throughout the day; keeping eyes on them at all times. I walk every morning, and I would love to have a dog join me! I'm a very clean person and will always ensure to clean up after myself and the pets.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs almost my whole life! My personal pet care background is incredibly diverse. I currently manage a lively three-cat household with my sweet cuddle bug Lillie, and my sister’s rambunctious and silly littermate brothers, Scout and Sawyer. I am also the proud owner of a childhood calico named Luna, and a Shepherd/golden mix, Osa. Because Osa is a high-energy, reactive dog, I learned a lot from her and personally worked on training her. Additionally, I have experience with senior pets. I lovingly cared for my late childhood dog, Sisi, which included managing her daily medications. I have also administered short-term medications to cats. I specialize exclusively in house sitting at your home, drop-in visits, and neighborhood dog walks. I look forward to giving your pets the absolute best care! :) My schedule is very flexible this summer, which makes it easy to stick to whatever daily routine your pets are used to. Whether they need a mid-day drop-in visit, a walk, or someone to stay overnight to keep them company, I can easily accommodate their regular timing. Since I will be caring for your pets in your home, my main priority is keeping their environment safe and consistent. I am highly attentive to details like securing doors and gates, keeping dogs properly leashed during walks, and following your specific household instructions. I always send regular photo updates and check-ins so you have full peace of mind while you are away.
“This was the first time I've used Rover and found Sara. Communication was great from the get-go. As this was the first time I let someone else watch Iris (8 months old), rightfully so to be nervous and hesitant. Sara was very understanding and attentive as I went through what Iris needed, how her demeanor is, and all of the in-between. You could tell that Sara genuinely cares and enjoys caring for pets as a side gig. Sara was fantastic and we'll definitely book again.”

“Valeria did an amazing job watching our dog, Scotty while we were away! She treated Scotty with genuine love, was responsible and kept us consistently updated! I'm so grateful we found such a wonderful sitter for our dog!”
