“Merrick is fantastic and I will absolutely have him watch my dogs in the future. My dogs are usually anxious when I travel, but did great in Merrick's care. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.”

“As always, Ariel did a stellar job taken care of our four cats, they have all warmed up to her, even the shy ones and I think this is because she is so patient and kind with them”

Melinda D.

“Brooke was amazing and took such great care of my two cats while I was away. She was a great communicator and always told me when she was heading to my place. She also always left a thorough review of each visit with pictures included. I was confident that the cats got the best care possible!!”

“Bailey arrived promptly and was patient with my reactive dog. Bailey is able to read a dogs body language which is super helpful for my dog who needs space and to get to know someone before she gets comfortable. I look forward to working with Bailey again.”

Shannon W.

“Josh was a fantastic sitter. He arrived promptly on time, spent time with the dog and was able to send a photo of my pup enjoying himself! Great communication and follow up, I would definitely trust Josh again for dog-sitting services here at Rover. Thanks!!”

About: I grew up around dogs and cats, and they always bring me joy. I treat animals like they are my own. While you are away, I want you to feel confident and secure about your pet’s happiness and well-being. I am reliable, and over six years, I have never missed a visit to a client’s home. I also have experience administering medications, especially my family dog Casey’s numerous pills. I would be happy to help out with your pet(s) in the mornings and/or evenings, as I work a full-time job at a local school. I would be glad to keep your fur baby company on visits to your home. I will gladly check your mail, water your plants, or do anything else you need while you’re away.

About: Since I was about three years old, I have always had a dog in the home, and have dog sat for multiple different types of dogs over the years. I am a former Sales Associate at Hollywood Pet Feed, which I would consider additional experience and knowledge. I work from home on my computer, which gives me flexibility on walking dogs. I take virtual meetings so prefer to have wifi/cell service. I have a backyard for my 11yr old sweet dog to roam around when he wants. Sometimes get a mid-day cookie! Love to get dogs energy out or just relax and pet them and refill water.

“Ashley was great! She took great care of my two dogs and sent lots of photos and updates. I felt really comfortable with her and she did a great job of providing peace of mind while I was away from my pups for 4 days. Thank you, Ashley!”

“Nayla has been absolutely wonderful! She does daily check-ins during the workweek for my big Newfy girl Bella, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing she is in good hands. Bella clearly enjoys her company, she is always relaxed and happy when I return. I would highly recommend Nayla to anyone looking for a dependable, loving sitter!”

About: I am a pet person! I’ve had dogs since I was a child and have cared for my own dogs and cats throughout my adult life. Animals have always been part of my family, and I truly love caring for fur babies of all ages and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, affection, attention, cuddles, and lots of love. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m known in my community for taking care of friends’ pets when they’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, supervision, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood and love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. My home is very pet-friendly, I have a large, fenced in backyard, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my daily life. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I have a secure fenced-in backyard with plenty of green space for dogs to safely play, explore, and get exercise. Pets will receive lots of attention, supervision, affection, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to follow each pet owner’s routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special preferences to help pets feel comfortable and secure. If needed, I can also crate pets according to the owner’s instructions and comfort level.

“Damaris gave carr, love and affection to my dog and cat. she stepped up in a pinch when my sitter had a family emergency. Will definitely get het to housesit again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for about 5 years now, including pet sitting, house sitting, and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with different temperaments, from energetic pups to shy or older pets. I always focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe and happy. My schedule is flexible, and I’m committed to being reliable and on time. I’m available for regular visits, pet sitting, or last-minute bookings when possible, and I always make sure your pet’s routine is followed closely. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort by caring for them in their own home, where they feel most secure. I follow all care instructions closely, keep a clean and respectful environment, and make sure doors, gates, and routines are always handled with care. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.

“Michelle was so great with our pups! One male dog can be very scared around new people and he absolutely loved her! She was super responsive and sent great pictures!”

About: I am a lifelong dog lover with 5 years of hands-on experience working in a doggy daycare. During my time there, I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds and personalities through daycare, overnight boarding, feeding, medication administration, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. This position strengthened my customer service experience, so I understand the importance of communication and keeping parents updated. Although I left the daycare to return to school, my passion for dogs never went away. Becoming a Rover sitter allows me to continue doing what I enjoy most. I strive to make any animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whatever your pup needs, I'd love to help! Thank you <3 I am currently working a full time job and am only available for your needs on the weekends, starting with Fridays at 4pm and ending on Sundays. These accommodations could be arranged if my work schedule aligns and there is a discussion had beforehand. If earlier arrangements are needed for Friday, I could offer a drop in visit. Just be aware that I am not available for uninterrupted house sitting until 4pm. Thank you. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. I provide reliable, loving care and would keep up with your pet's normal routine. regular updates with photos will be provided at your request.

About: I am a true fur mama at heart! I love spending time with my fur babies and spreading that love to other fur babies when their parents have to be away I am a CRNA student with full time clinicals during the weekdays; available for walks or drop ins during the weekday evenings & most weekends free for boarding or multiple drop ins! At my home I have a fenced in back yard for my 8 year old Sheppard mix and 4 year old mini goldendoodle! My goal when I care for others’ pets and home is that you feel as as if you never left them home!

“Rebecca did a great job taking care of my baby. She was on time for the visit and treated him like her own. She sent me lots of pictures of my sweet boy. Would recommend and will use again”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, I was raised on a farm, where caring for a wide variety of animals became second nature. That background gives me a strong sense of responsibility and an instinct for understanding each pet’s unique personality. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets and focus on keeping them safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, which means I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins starting at 4:30 PM during the week. I am completely free on weekdays. If you’re looking for more extended care, I also offer house sitting and can often work remotely on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends, allowing me to spend more consistent time with your pets. I aim to be flexible and communicative, so we can find a schedule that works best for both you and your pets’ needs! I tailor my care to each pet and service. In your home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free, including feeding, walks, and plenty of attention. In my own home, I provide a safe, calm environment with close supervision and consistent care. I also have personal experience with shy pets, I adopted my cat Athena at 4 months old from the Memphis Animal Shelter. She was very skittish and required a lot of patience, understanding her needs, and respecting her space when she wanted to be left alone. She is now 8 years old and thriving, and that experience has taught me how to read behavior and adjust care to each animal’s comfort level. No matter the setting, my goal is to keep your pet happy, secure, and well cared for!
