“Sally communicated very well throughout our time away from home. She made sure our kitten, Izzy was taken care of and even took the time to show her love and attention during her visit. We really appreciated the daily updates and pictures! I would recommend Sally to anyone who needs their fur baby taken care of!”
“My Layla girl had a very stressful day; I was out of town and unable to get to her to cuddle her to bed and Nicole was great with her!! Took her on a walk, tucked her in, and spent the full 30 min taking care of my girl. Also very friendly and communicative!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I rescued my dog about five years ago! I always try to help strays whenever I can. I have three dogs living with me and my family currently. I bathe and walk them and take them on drives occasionally to get a puppuccino from Starbucks! :) I believe dogs are a part of the family, which is why my dogs are just as comfortable on their dog beds, as they are on our couches and beds. I love all animals, but have a special place in my heart for dogs. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of availability open for your pets! I love all animals and want a future career aimed towards that specialty! Depending on the pet and its personality, I am open for cuddles and being lazy together, or for walks and getting out some energy by throwing the ball in the backyard!
“Maritess is very professional and she does an excellent job with our girls. She sends plenty of pictures (which are always very well taken)and we can tell that our cats are very comfortable around her.”
About: I've always been great with animals. Whenever I was 10 I had a tuxedo cat who needed medication for failing kidneys, I was the only one who could administer her pills swiftly. I've dealt with high energy dogs like labs and stubborn dogs like my 100 pound pitbull. My schedule is flexible at the moment. My kids are grown and I'm looking to stay actively busy. I love outdoors so walks and playing outside would be ideal. I am an empathetic and nurturing person. I have always cared for animals and people alike. I have raised 5 daughters and 3 are in the army.
“Hanna was very thoughtful. Went above and beyond in caring for our pets. Even sought them out when they hid upon her arrival and sent photos. Hope she's available next time we no need someone”
“Dorothy always goes above and beyond! She seriously cares about our babies so I always feel they’re in the best hands when she’s here! Truly grateful to have her whenever I need to go away from home!”
About: My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every animal deserves patience, love, or just some comforting company. I am more than happy to take care of your furry friend(s) all day on weekends or walk them M-F after 5pm. Please message me for more detailed availability if needed. I have been trained with the SPCA in California to handle large and small dogs. Caring for pets brings me joy, and I treat each one as if they were my own—because they deserve nothing less.
“Maria did an amazing job taking care of our three cats while we were out of town for almost 2 weeks. She was incredibly communicative and spent extra time to make sure our skittish cats were acclimated to her. She went above and beyond and we would absolutely hire her again!”
“Madeline was amazing! I've had a lot of Rover experiences and Madeline was by far the best! Right away, the dogs loved her and she has been so nice and communicative. She will definitely be our go to for our dog care.”
“i have a fussy and super outgoing bengal cat. Alden has exceeded my expectations with his attention towards my cat and he takes amazing pictures. He is also very communicative with me about how things are going. He is also quick to respond which I appreciate. I will definitely use him in the future!”
“Very friendly & pleasant. Prompt with responses, good communication. Sends pictures after each visit. We don't go away often, but we feel very comfortable knowing Amanda is watching after our two cats 🐾”
“Zaylie was absolutely amazing with Philly! From the very first walk, it was clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She was reliable, communicative, and always kept me updated with photos and notes, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Philly came back happy, exercised, and clearly well taken care of every time. You can tell Zaylie takes pride in what she does and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my Goldendoodle, Maxwell, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, providing walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration when needed, and plenty of love and attention. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for years to care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I'm available in the early mornings Monday-Friday until 8 AM; I'm available from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM Monday-Friday evenings. I am also available 24/7 on Saturday and Sunday. I have a fenced in back yard that sits on almost an acre of grass so your fur babies can exercise and roam freely. I also provide a harness and a leash so we can go on walks. I also have a vehicle for us to get pup-cups if that is something the owner is interested in!
About: I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and creating a calm, safe environment. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail so your pets feel secure and you feel confident while you’re away. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I naturally build it into my everyday routine. I make time each day for walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, and I’m available throughout the week and on weekends to keep pets happy, comfortable, and on their normal schedule. I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care as my own, creating a calm, secure environment for your pets. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines to home preferences—and make sure doors, gates, and safety measures are always properly secured. I’m attentive, dependable, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pets and home are in good hands.

It was a PLEASURE to have Nicole drop in on our baby, Maverick while we were out of town. Our usual sitter was unavailable for our last minute trip and I scrambled trying to find someone right before having to leave. Nicole was available to meet right away and she took the best care of him. I could tell from the moment he met her that he would love her. All of his check in pics had a huge smile on his little face lol We’ll definitely be booking with Nicole again in the future!
Sally so graciously accepted my request at the last minute. This was our first time using Rover services and are so happy that we found her! Murphy was happy to see her too, and showed her all the love while she was spending time with him. All around a win-win. Will DEFINITELY call her again. Thank you Sally!
Maria did an amazing job taking care of our three cats while we were out of town for almost 2 weeks. She was incredibly communicative and spent extra time to make sure our skittish cats were acclimated to her. She went above and beyond and we would absolutely hire her again!
Elana was amazing. She made sure to take great care of my cat while I was away for a couple weeks. She sent me updates with pictures and notes of the visit, letting me know how things went. She was always so communicative, and I’m absolutely going back to her when I need a cat sitter. 10/10!
