“Jessica was so wonderful to work with! She came through for us on a last minute booking after a cancellation and was willing to make her schedule work for us. She’s communicative and you can tell how much she really loves animals. I will definitely be booking Jessica again!”
About: I grew up having lots of pets, and know the joy they bring to your home. Over the years my friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets and their homes while they are away. I have taken care of goldendoodles, pitbulls, bulldogs, beagles, and pugs. I would love to help you care for your pets or home in any way you need! I currently have a flexible schedule and am free nearly every afternoon and evening. My weekends are fairly free as well. I am happy to do extended stays as well. I follow all directions and wishes of my clients. I can honor designated feeding times and medications if necessary, including insulin injections. I will respect other belongings in the home and leave things as I found them.
About: I have experience in training and animals handling. I have been called an animal whisperer. I am open to all pets even aggressive ones. I have experience in exotic pets as well. I am in college and I take care of animals in between my classes. This will not take away from my time spent with your animals and I will be fully focused on your pet while I am there. I have a large amount of experience with animal behavior. I can confidently and comfortably care for all types of animals regardless of temperament or aggression level. Your pet will always be safe with me.
“Eli was right on time. Very professional and attentive to my cat Ninja. I'm looking forward to them becoming more familiar with each other. Eli was very polite, pleasant and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend Eli for your pet's needs.”
“Crystal is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend! My pups both loved her instantly and her communication is off the charts! Will use her again no doubt! This was my first Rover experience and I’m sold all because of Crystal! Thank you so much for keeping an eye on my babies!!!”
“Olivia was fantastic! She agreed to meet my dog beforehand and was so sweet to her while I was out of town. I got daily pictures with updates and reaching Olivia was never an issue. For someone who rarely leaves their dog, this was such a great first experience. I would definitely book again😊 Thank you for everything!!!”
“Laura is wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our cat. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our cat! Laura sent us daily photos of our cat, along with updates which was greatly appreciated. I would recommend Laura for any pet sitting needs.”
“Hannah provided fantastic care for my two girls. Lila required medication to be administered twice a day for a week & so finding out Hannah was experienced was a sigh of relief! She was kind, timely, cleanly, and attentive to my fur babes. 6 out of 5 stars! THANK YOU, HANNAH!”
“Marc was exactly what we needed! As soon as Bailey saw him, she connected with him and it was such a heartwarming moment for me. Marc was gentle, but confident, attentive, while allowing Bailey to feel her way through our first meeting. And Marc helped put me at ease as well. All in all, it was a very positive experience. I’m grateful to have found Marc and will definitely be using him in the future.”
About: I I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and temperaments. My responsibilities have included daily walks, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, and providing companionship. I understand how important routine and reassurance are when owners are away. I currently work from home. So my schedule is pretty flexible! Plenty of times to go on walks and playtime! With advanced notice I am very accommodating to meet your needs. I provide loving, reliable care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. My top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions — to help them feel secure and stress-free.
About: I view each dog as a unique individual that needs love and care based on their needs and personality. I understand that some dogs need to be tired out in order to relax and some would just prefer belly rubs on the couch for hours. I love spending time outside and going to the gym so I would love to take your pup on a long walk to get their energy out if that's something they need! I do have experience caring for elderly and handicapped dogs as well and I know they require lots of love and patience. I really value the safety of your pet and home as my first priority so anything I can do to accommodate you and your dogs needs I am more than happy to do so. I like to send photo updates to keep you in the loop and will always defer to your preferences and instructions when caring for your pup. I started petsitting when I graduated high school because I wanted to spend more time with animals and I've been able to meet so many amazing people, and even more amazing dogs ;) over the years. I now have 8 years of experience petsitting, from drop in visits/walks, as well as extended stays in homes caring for multiple high energy or handicapped dogs at once. I'm usually the go-to person for my friends and family to take care of their pets since they know I'm always eager to spend more time with animals. Please reach out for any questions!! I work a Monday to Friday 9-5 job, and am very blessed to have a flexible job where I can leave during lunch and or in the afternoon again if need be. For drop in visits/walks I am available during lunchtime, or after 5pm. If I am staying in-home while you are gone I will swing by over lunch to spend time with your pup, take them outside, etc. If they require more times to be let outside I am typically able to leave another time during the day so they have two breaks during the 8am to 5pm timeframe. I am happy to discuss logistics and accommodate to you and your pups needs! While I staying in your home, or if I am just dropping by to take your pup on a quick walk, I am very conscious of safety and privacy. I understand it takes a level of trust to allow someone in your home when you are gone and am especially aware of locking doors behind me when coming and going, as well as respecting your privacy. I air on the side of caution and will always reach out to you directly if any issues were to ever arise!
About: I've grown up with always more than one animal in the household, and loving them is second nature. When my family and friends need someone to help take care of the pets, I am always the first option! I have taken care if lots of cats and dogs, but a few fish throughout the years too. I have experience not only with general pet care such as, feeding, walking, playing/enrichment, but also with giving medications. Some dog breeds I have worked with (or lived with) are German Shepards, Yellow Labs, and mutts that are a mix of medium/bigger dogs or small dachshund mixes. And a lot of different cat personalities! The distant and quiet ones who keep to themselves and the ones who need your attention the second you walk through your door! Either way, I have always loved them no matter what, and continue to love them still. I am about to start a part-time job that has me working either from 10-3 or 11-4. I am always willing to wake up early or stay up late because I have the late start time of the work! In my home, my cat never has a missed meal, he has clean and running water 24/7, and a handful of toys available for enrichment! A handheld laser always nearby for sudden play time is anecessity! As for my client's pets, I will always follow instructions step by step and detail by detail, no matter if feeding times includes something silly to get the fur baby to actually eat their food, I will always do it! And I am not the kind of person to just stop in, do what I need to do, and leave. I will make sure the pet is well loved and knows that I am there for them.
“Sierra is the best sitter I’ve found on Rover and will be my primary sitter going forward. She sent pictures every visit, she met my senior kitty where she is, which is usually under the bed, she provided feedback on Nico’s behavior and was in communication with me every day. I was able to relax knowing my cat was being cared for in such a loving way. Sierra genuinely cares about the animals she’s helping and the difference is immeasurable. Highly highly recommend.”
About: I got my first dog when I was 15 years old. I potty trained him myself, took him on multiple walks a day, and spoiled him rotten. He lived for 16 years. My future puppy is 3 weeks old and will be a service dog for me. I plan to train him myself with professional guidance and also get him certified as a therapy dog! My schedule is very flexible for the time being and I would be able to start assisting with your pet care needs today! I am open to helping out with dogs, cats, and reptiles. I have a fenced in backyard, my cats get filtered ice water daily, and they only eat the best food on the market. I am a nurse so I am also very good at giving medications if needed. I will definitely give your animal lots of love and kisses as well!

Jessica was so wonderful to work with! She came through for us on a last minute booking after a cancellation and was willing to make her schedule work for us. She’s communicative and you can tell how much she really loves animals. I will definitely be booking Jessica again!
Jason is great! He dropped in to meet the new pup and spend time with our family. He’s punctual, he asks questions about how the new pup is getting along and how the pack is integrating, and he enjoys spending time with our fur babies. Thank you, Jason! We appreciate you being a part of our family and spending time with us.
Elizabeth was a wonderful pet sitter. This was my first time using Rover, and she put me at ease with her excellent communication, and punctuality. She followed directions, sent updates and pictures, and my puppy loved her right away. I recommend Elizabeth, and plan to use her again in the near future. Excellent first impression!

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
