“It was comforting to have Kristin in our home pet sitting while we were away. Very professional and caring with our pup. It was a relief to know that if there was an emergency she could take care of it. Coco loves Kristin! Thank you for taking such good care of her!”


“Amber proved herself to be a reliable dog sitter. She stayed over at our house and was respectful of our home and property. She cared for our dogs with love and affection, giving treats/Kongs, their daily feedings and allowing them some extended time outside. Amber is highly recommended. We will be contacting her again! Thank You very much Amber.”


“Amanda was great with Duncan. I had made a mistake with the starting time and asked her to come earlier. She changed her plans to accommodate this request and we greatly appreciated that. She is very friendly as well.”


About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a well-rounded and deeply committed approach to pet care. I am the owner of Oh My Paws, a pet-sitting business I started during college, and have worked as a kennel technician, dog handler for Can Do Canines, and am currently completing an apprenticeship at a Humane Society. These roles have given me experience with a variety of temperaments, medical needs, and behavioral challenges. What truly sets me apart is my background in dog behavior and training. I am currently studying to earn my CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed) certification and have experience training service dogs through the Falcon Fetch program. This gives me a unique ability to understand body language, reduce stress in pets, and ensure a safe, enriching environment during their care. Pet care is a central part of my life and something I prioritize in my weekly routine. I have very open availability on weekends (Saturday–Sunday), and I’m also available on Mondays if needed. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent and dependable care, whether it’s for daily visits, overnights, or last-minute bookings. Because I run my own pet-sitting business and am actively involved in training and animal welfare work, I structure my schedule around the pets I care for. I take the time to provide each animal with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and a calm, safe environment. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I begin with a detailed intake to learn about each pet’s routine, medical needs, triggers, and preferences, and I tailor my care accordingly. I use positive reinforcement and clear communication to build trust with animals, helping them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routines as closely as possible to reduce stress. I’m respectful of the home environment, leave things exactly as I found them, and provide regular updates with photos and notes for peace of mind.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up with both cats and dogs in the house taught me how to care for pets with love, patience, and attention to their unique personalities. While I can’t have a pet in my home right now, I jump at any chance to care for my friends' animals, whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or just being there to keep them company. I’m reliable, gentle, and genuinely enjoy building trust with every pet I meet. I work just a couple of days a week, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m happy to work around your needs for walks or drop-ins. I treat your home as if it were my own—always with respect and attention to detail. I make sure to clean up after your pet, whether it’s litter boxes, food areas, or accidents, and I aim to leave your space even cleaner than I found it. You can relax knowing your pet and your home are in responsible hands.

About: I am a very kind person to animals and people! I try to treat people and animals as I would like to be treated. I would love to care for your pet and will always try to do the best job that I can. Growing up my family always owned a dog and I love all dogs of all sizes. We owned chihuahuas and we owned boxers and pugs. I also own a cat that I love very much! I hope that you will consider me to care for your pets when you are not able to. I promise to treat them as though they were my own. I hope that you will consider me to care for your pet and will do my best. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be fully present with my dogs and cat and any animals I may have the privilege of watching. I typically have a routine with my dogs and cat. They all get fed twice a day. I try to play with them a little every hour and we typically take walks twice a day as well. I do have an outdoor play area for them they go out supervised about 4 times a day

“Elizabeth did an amazing job of taking care of our dog in our home while we were on vacation. She stopped over to meet Sersi in advance and go over the timing and expectations for visits. Once we were gone she always visited as agreed upon and made sure Sersi had everything she needed. She even sent some videos so I could see that Sersi was comfortable (which she would not have been had she been in a kennel for the week). I would not hesitate to book Elizabeth again in the future.”


“Tonia did an excellent job taking care of my two fur babies this past weekend. The communication and texts i received were stellar. She also left a note for me when she left summarizing the stay. I would recommend her for sure.”


“My dogs love Bella! She gave them lots and lots of attention while she pet sit in our home. Bella took great care of my special needs gent, and gave my large, super active dog lots of extra exercise. I never had to worry about my dogs while I was away.”


“Chelle was an outstanding in-home sitter for our cat and elderly dog! She provided excellent, loving care for our pets, was a spotless house guest, and communicated with us in a timely fashion while we were away. I would highly recommend Chelle for any services you may need!”


About: I have been a CVT for 15 years, actively working at an emergency/specialty clinic. I can care for all ages and sizes of dogs and cats. I have a part time job that is flexible, my main focus is pet care and services. I am available most days and hours. I am pet sitting or caring for pets on a daily basis. I will utilize your house to care for your pets so they are more comfortable and less stressed. I will follow your daily routines to keep them feeling secure.

“Rosalina was very good with our pets (2 cats and 1 dog), especially our anxious dog. We received updates and photos while we were away and we were confident our pets were being well taken care of. We will definitely use her services again in the future!”


About: I have always had dogs in the household ever since I was born. More specifically my family had my sister and I grow up around Black Labs the entirety of my life. Neighbors as well as my immediate family have relied on me to take care of their animals. Whether it be a short walk or staying with them for an extended period of time, I was their guy! I have an extremely open/flexible schedule. I am self employed so I pretty much choose when I want to work my other job. Taking care of animals via Rover will take top priority unless my job situation changes. If that occurs I will make sure to update my profile accordingly! I have no other animals/roommates in my apartment. So your dog/cat will get all the undivided love and attention they deserve while you're away. Same rules apply if I am asked to dog/cat sit at a clients home!

“Deann was so easy to book with and did a great job. I could tell from her meeting my pups that I had nothing to worry about. She sent us picture updates and the house looked like no one had even stayed there. We would defintiely ask Deann to come back again.”


About: I’ve had animal experience for the last 10 years! I have a few pets of my own, but I have also done many jobs taking care of pets, and I recently started fostering animals as well. I’m able to provide comfort to your animals, and complete care to the owners standards and beyond! I am currently free everyday, all day, for any services for your fur babies! Please reach out with any questions you may have regarding my schedule! Thank you! In my clients home I will make sure to keep an eye on the animals at all times to ensure the safety of your pets, let your animal out, and feed them promptly, and be sure to give them lots of love’

About: Previous employment I'm skilled with breaking up dog fights, grooming animals, walking animals, training animals, etc. It would be my absolute pleasure to give your pets some love while you're away. I like to stay busy, so if I have free time I prefer to fill it rather than not do anything. I have a heart for animals and if I can occupy myself by helping care for others pets, why not do just that? My pet has a lead that is within our homes perimeter so she cannot go into neighbors yards, I also have a kennel for her to be put into if need be. Depending on others houses, usually there is a fenced in yard for the pet to be let out in, I still prefer to watch when they get let out just to make sure they don't misbehave.

Sadie S.
“Sadie is a phenomenal pet caregiver. She has taken care of my dog, Gizzy, on multiple occasions. The most recent being for a week long. She would take her on car rides, walks, made sure to spend time with her and tend to her needs. Gizzy is an elderly dog, and Sadie did very well at acknowledging her age and adjusting what she needed to do different because of this. One example is giving her a joint supplement everyday and assuring that she was using her stairs and not jumping onto beds. I would recommend Sadie to any pet owners in a heartbeat.”


Rebekah B.
“Rebekah is kind and compassionate. When she visits my dogs, she does very well with them. When I lost my dog that I had for 15 years, she gave me a necklace that was in memory of my dog. She understands that dogs become family and when I lost a part of my family, she really understood what that meant. Any dog would be so happy to have Rebekah take care of them. She knows the importance of gentleness with them. For as long as I have known Rebekah, she has had a real love for dogs.”
