About: I've been around animals my entire life and currently care for two horses, a donkey, and a dog as part of my daily routine on our ranch. Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs, cats, and several reptiles, giving me experience with a wide variety of animals and their unique needs. Caring for animals is more than a responsibility for me—it's something that brings me genuine fulfillment and helps keep me grounded. From feeding, grooming, and exercising animals to monitoring their health and well-being, I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attentive care. As a pet sitter, I strive to provide the same level of love, safety, and attention that I give my own animals every day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their regular routine, I will make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away. I am reliable, trustworthy, and committed to treating every pet as if they were part of my own family. Pet care is already a major part of my daily routine. Early every morning, I get up early to feed my two horses, donkey, and dog. I make time to check in with each of them, give them attention, and make sure they're happy and comfortable. I also ensure all water troughs are full, muck stalls and runouts, and provide turnout time in designated pastures for grazing, exercise, and enrichment when appropriate. In the evenings, I bring the horses back in, separate them into their individual stalls so they can eat safely, feed everyone again, check that their environment is secure for the night, and close up the barn. Caring for animals every day has taught me the importance of consistency, attention to detail, and maintaining a reliable routine. Because animal care is already built into my daily schedule, caring for clients' pets fits naturally into my day. After completing my morning ranch chores, I have the flexibility to visit and care for other pets, and I treat them with the same attention and care I give my own animals. I enjoy making each pet part of my routine and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected, so I take the time to learn each pet's needs and follow the owner's instructions closely. Whether I am caring for a pet in my home or in a client's home, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive exercise and bathroom breaks as needed, and get plenty of attention and companionship. I also monitor their behavior and overall well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems unusual. If requested, I am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away. Having experience caring for a variety of animals—including dogs, cats, reptiles, horses, and a donkey—I understand that every animal has its own personality and comfort level. Some pets want lots of playtime and affection, while others prefer a calmer approach and space to relax. I adapt my care to what makes each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive reliable, attentive care while their family is away.
“This was my first time using Rover. Riley came to meet us before we left on vacation, which was reassuring. It was nice to know we were in good hands! Riley always spent time with our cat, Lexi, even when Lexi was not being the best company! Riley is dependable and was great with Lexi!”
“Lauren was amazing and Mr. Kitty was instantly comfortable with her. She was very detailed, communicative and went above and beyond to make sure our house and Kitty were well looked after. Will definitely be rebooking. Thank you for everything, Lauren!”
“This was our first experience using Rover.com, and we couldn't have been happier! Our sitter, Elaine, is terrific! Not only did she capture amazing pictures of our two Bengal cats, she even managed to win over Shiloh, who normally runs and hides under the bed whenever a stranger comes into our home. My husband and I could hardly believe our eyes when we watched the video of Shiloh letting Elaine pet her. It was nice, too, to come home to a clean and tidy area where the food dishes are as our cats always like dropping their food on the floor before eating. I highly recommend Elaine.”
“Justin is easy to work with and a great communicator. We appreciated that he got back to us right away to confirm his availability and provided twice daily updates on our dogs. We won’t hesitate to recommend him to our friends and neighbors. Thanks Justin!”
“Samantha was extremely helpful with my dog and 2 cats. When it game to a meet and greet Samantha was very thorough and asked a lot of questions to ensure she didn’t miss anything. She was super consistent with timing, and had great communication, send pictures daily. She is someone I trust in my home.”
“I can’t say enough about Lainey and her care of our pets June 3rd -19th. She is a very responsible, kind and diligent. Lainey understood how important this was for us, and she clearly cares very much for the animals in her care. Communication was fantastic right from the start and throughout our trip. Lainey went above and beyond our expectations. and we would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone trustworthy to treat your pets as family. Thank you Lainey!”
“Amanda was great with our super shy kitty. He even came out of hiding! A first for any sitter we’ve had. I highly recommend Amanda. She’s kind, caring and attended to every detail. Thank you so much! Tracy & Taylor”
About: I’m new to Rover but I’ve grown up around animals and love to spend time with them! I have a German shepherd and I’ve taught her everything she knows from Sit, lay down, speak, and even do a figure 8 through my legs. I also have fostered kittens every summer since I was 10 😁 I’m a full time college student from August-May but am pretty free during the summer and can fit to pretty much any availability Just leave me some instructions on how you would care for your animal and I will follow it to a T! I can assure you your pet will get lots of loving and belly rubs (:
About: For the past 2.5 years, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to sweet senior companions. My pet care experience has taught me that every animal has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I always take the time to understand and respect that. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding schedules, or simply providing comfort and companionship, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. I have a pretty open schedule, so I am flexible, I will try my best to update my account when I am away to let others know. I always make sure my animals usual rest areas are cleaned up and made comfortable for them. In someone else’s home it’s all about respecting a space that isn’t yours it’s theirs. Making them feel comfortable with you being in their space with them
“Just wanted to leave a special review for Stephanie! She really is a great person in general! And what a special kitty sitter☺️she really went over and above. You know leaving your fur babies with someone you don’t know is hard but we really scored with Stephanie! Such a blessing💜Will definitely use her again and again and so should you🫶🏽”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care for each pet as an individual. I take the time to learn and follow a pet’s routine exactly so they feel safe and comfortable, whether they’re a puppy, adult, or senior. I’m patient and confident working with puppies, including basic training reinforcement, potty routines, and leash manners. I’m also attentive to senior pets, providing gentle care, slower-paced activity, medication support if needed, and close monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I communicate clearly with owners and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits into my routine through consistent daily habits and a small weekly reset. I take care of feeding and fresh water every day, along with making time for exercise, bathroom breaks, and attention so my pet stays healthy and engaged. I also do quick health checks to make sure everything seems normal. Once a week, I focus on cleaning, grooming, and restocking supplies. Overall, it’s built into my day in a way that feels manageable and routine rather than overwhelming. I care for pets by following a consistent, attentive routine that prioritizes their safety, comfort, and well-being. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get the appropriate exercise and bathroom breaks they need. I provide companionship and enrichment through play, attention, and positive interaction, while also monitoring their behavior and health for any changes. I follow any specific instructions given by the owner, including medication, feeding preferences, and routines, to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their environment
“Ruth is always great. Last minute request for her to check on my kids on Halloween and she was great and accommodating and my girls are alive and well so we are happy! Thanks Ruth!”
About: I have 6 years of dog and cat sitting experience + a Aussie of my own so I can handle and be trusted with anything I am a SAHM so my time is very flexible! I am available all hours besides 11:00am-2:30pm. Let me know how I can help you! I can meet your needs! I am willing to go with the flow and help however works for your family and your cute fur babies!
About: Im so excited to be working for you! What a treat to be able to love on your beautiful babies! I enjoy pet sitting so much because just like people, animals have their own personalities and it’s really neat for me to discover them in all the little fur friends I get to meet. I am good natured and loving and your pet will notice that right off the bat. I’m caring and compassionate and you won’t have to worry about your babies while I am there. I enjoy overnight stays because I know it’s important for them to be “at home”. It’s easy for me to feel at home wherever I go! I have a kitty and he stays home and is very content with that. He is a super friendly 15 lb MainCoon that has a very sweet personality. He’s always up for belly rubs. He does not accompany me on any of my stays or visits. I have several families that aren’t on rover that I just love so much. So their reviews aren’t on here. But if you need references, please let me know. I’m grateful for the opportunity to hang out with your fur family and know that you can rest easy knowing they are in good hands, I am open to visits and check ins or even long weekends or vacations. It would be great to come to you. Take a vacation and relax knowing your home and sweet babies are being lovingly cared for. Unfortunately I am unable to board any pets at this time. I don’t have the needed space to accommodate them. Thank you so very much!
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8, ranging from dogs, cats, horses, livestock, and poultry! Currently getting my vet tech degree and have previous experience as a vet and kennel assistant for animals of all sizes, ages, and kinds! I currently work and go to school remotely, so my schedule is incredibly flexible! Taking care of my own pup as well as my horse are my only other main concerns! I am currently renting on a lovely five acre property with plenty of space for your fur babies to stretch their legs with my golden retriever pup of a gentleman. I am always happy to cater my care and pet sitting experience to each and every pet!
