“Jasmine has taken care of our animals several times and has done a great job each time. I like having consistency when it comes to our animals caregiver and Jasmine is who we use exclusively.”

“Ayshah is truly one of the best sitters I’ve found on rover. I believe she goes above and beyond for both you as a pet parent AND your dog. So impressive, highly highly recommend.”


About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and empathy I bring to every pet I look after. As a pet parent myself, I understand that pets are family—not just animals. Recently, I experienced the loss of my own beloved fur baby, which deepened my appreciation for the trust pet owners place in someone caring for their pets. That experience reinforced how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs, whether that means extra playtime, a slower pace for a senior pet, or simply providing companionship and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Pet parents can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their pet is receiving genuine care and attention. My goal is not just to watch your pet—it's to make them feel cared for, understood, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a structured schedule that allows me to plan dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so providing consistent care, attention, and updates to pet parents is something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's maintaining a pet's regular routine, administering medications if needed, or simply providing extra affection and exercise, I make sure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected, so I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, preferences, and any special instructions. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible through regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they're away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I monitor pets closely, ensure they have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and opportunities for play and enrichment throughout the day. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands.
“This was our first time using a pet sitting service and it was absolutely amazing! Aniyah is so sweet and kind and she treated our Kingston like her own from the very first time of meeting him. Aniyah sent us pictures and updates throughout the whole stay which made us feel so relieved and comfortable knowing our boy was being well looked after. If you're looking for a dog sitter we highly recommend Aniyah, she was the best!!”

About: I fell in love with dogs since the age of 4 after being terrified from my first encounter. But after a few more curiosity approaches, I went from being afraid to loving every dog I came across from walks and loving every dog I came across even on the roads. No matted fur or patches will stop me from giving it affection (ask my girlfriend about the dogs I pet on our trips lol) Any moods the fur baby gives I try to match so we both can say (or bark) “yeah this was a great day…now what about treats!” Tend to every need I can, have bathed my own fur baby but no experience with nail trimming (not forcing to do something they don’t like) and always love seeing that wide smiles either from play or from my belly scratches! Working full time so will really be available on every other weekend with some days in the week. Just message me and I’ll let you know my availability! Never want to miss meeting another fur-ones! Constant monitor when at play in case someone decides to eat something they had no business. Will always check area for random loose trash that might look to appetizing for the fur baby. We’re not getting no upset tummies in this (or your) household!
“Lois did a fabulous job taking care of Hugh, our large dog. She stayed in our home while we were on vacation and sent us multiple updates and pics of our pup, plus she left our home spotless! We will definitely be using her again for our future pet-sitting needs.”


About: I have experience caring for others and personal dogs, cats, and other household pets and I am great with giving them plenty of attention. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the week to care for pets. So I am available for walks, feeding, play, and general pet care. Pet safety and well-being are my top priorities. I’ll follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requests. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for.
“Lanae was beyond kind to our two mini dachshunds. They have anxiety and are less than a year old, so they can be a hand full. She also stayed at our house and left everything as is. She was communicative and sent pictures often. Our two little dogs were sad to see her go. 💜 There was a small billing issue with Rover and she was quick to call and work it out. I’d 100% recommend Lanae. I could not say enough good things about her!”


About: I provide intentional, attentive care, treating every pet like my own. I don’t just “watch” pets; I engage with them, learn their routines, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have hands-on experience with puppy training (basic commands, leash manners, crate and potty training), along with public access and service animal training. I’m patient, consistent, and focused on building strong habits. I’m also experienced in senior pet care, including gentle handling, medication support, and slower-paced walks tailored to their comfort and mobility. * For cat care, I respect each cat’s personality, whether they’re social or more independent. I’m attentive to litter box cleanliness, feeding routines, enrichment, and creating a calm, stress-free environment. Whether your pet is high-energy or needs extra care, you can count on dependable service, clear communication, and regular updates with photos. Pet care fits naturally into my day since I work from home, which allows me to be present, flexible, and attentive. I’m able to maintain consistent schedules for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and playtime without long gaps in supervision. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets get more than just check-ins. They get companionship, engagement, and close monitoring. I can easily adjust to their routine, whether that means midday walks, reinforcing training, or providing extra comfort for senior pets. My schedule allows me to give pets the time, structure, and attention they deserve while keeping owners updated with regular communication and photos. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with a secure fenced yard for safe outdoor breaks and play. Pets are always supervised, and I’m mindful of introductions, boundaries, and maintaining a low-stress atmosphere. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things consistent. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy. Not only do I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, triggers, and preferences, and I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, and pets in training. Whether it’s reinforcing routines, administering basic medications, or providing a safe, structured environment, I aim to give you complete peace of mind with regular updates and photos.

“Tiana did an excellent job caring for our home and our two dogs while we were away. From the very beginning, she was professional, thoughtful, and attentive. She even took the time to meet with us and the dogs before her first day to make sure everyone was comfortable and that she understood our routines and expectations. She even took notes during our conversation which immediately gave us confidence that everything would be handled well. Having someone stay in our home made a huge difference for our dogs since they were able to remain in their familiar environment and seemed much more comfortable. Throughout her stay, Tiana kept us updated with photos and little check-ins, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we returned, our dogs were happy, well cared for, and our home was just as clean and organized as we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Tiana to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet and house sitter.”

“Adrianna was BY Far the best in home sitter for our 2 bubs! We can't imagine using another Rover sitter! Sent plenty of pics and updates! We had an issue with our fence & she stepped up and remedied the situation immediately 😀! 10/10!”


“First time booking this sitter and they were awesome! Lots of photo updates and they went above and beyond to leave the house ready for our return. We would gladly book Sydney again!”

“Kaylah was absolutely amazing with our dog, Shadow! From the moment we connected, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. She followed all of our instructions carefully and made sure Shadow’s routine stayed consistent, which was incredibly important to us. Throughout the stay, Kaylah provided updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Shadow was comfortable, happy, and receiving lots of attention and care. Knowing he was in such capable hands allowed us to fully enjoy our time away without worrying. We are so grateful for the love and attention Kaylah gave Shadow and would not hesitate to book with her again. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly great with dogs, we highly recommend Kaylah!”

About: My name is Tiaundra. I am a professional house manager/nanny and pet sitter. I have over 10 years of experience. I offer pet feeding/care, mail collection, plant care, trash & recycling services etc. I would absolutely love to care for your fur baby! I’m sure I’ll be adding more fur babies to the schedule shortly! I understand that it can be hard to trust someone with your lovely babies and property. That is why I am dedicated to providing high quality service that you can count on. With me, you can rest assured knowing your pet and home are in great hands. I look forward to hearing from you and helping keep your home and fur baby safe. Thank you for your time! I currently only work 4-6 hours a few days a week therefore I have ample time to care for and snuggle with all the fur babies. At this time I am only accepting pet sitting at the clients home. This may change in the near future however at the moment I do not offer pet sitting in my home.

About: I grew up with a chocolate lab and took in two cats in high school. I’ve primarily had cats as pets recently (and have become a master at giving cats pills). I’ve dog sat and cat sat for several friends. I always have a great time watching their home while spending time with their fur babies. I work fully remote for my 9-5 as well so any home with good wifi I can be there the whole working day. I have good experience giving cats pills and liquid medicine. I work remotely so I can work from any home with good wifi. So if your pet gets lonely I can keep them company all day long. For things that require a routine or specific timing, such as medicine, I set alarms and calendar reminders. I love getting a clear list of expectations from the pet owner of how to treat their specific pet. Every pet is unique and I want to make sure I’m caring for your pet in the way best for them! I’ve watched cats that needed three pills in the morning and one at night. I’ve watched dogs with special dietary restrictions where I had to tear up boiled chicken for them. I’ve also watched kitties that just want cuddles all day long and dogs who want to play fetch all day long. I always try to accommodate best I can!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. From playful puppies to senior companions, I understand their needs and personalities. With years of hands-on care, I provide patience, attention, and love. Your pup will be treated like family every time they’re with me. I own a work from own business so I’m free all day. I just make a few calls around 7am and then my day is open. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’ll enjoy a safe, comfortable, and loving environment filled with care, attention, and plenty of playtime to keep them happy.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 14 years now, including my own and many friends, neighbors, and family. I work as a veterinarian. I’m willing to bathe your pets in addition to their basic needs. I know how to administer injections and other medications your pet may need. I take my currents pets out 3 times a day, and feed twice daily. I like taking them to parks once to twice a week if the owner is okay with that. I would take them out as many times as you see fit before and after class. If your pet is social they can play with my 10.5 year old and 3yr old. Both are very dog friendly and easy going. I do request them meeting outside before I bring them in. I do not believe in leaving your pets with mine while I am gone. Therefore the will be seperate when I must leave.
About: I am a 24 year-old full time worker trying to make some extra money on the side for life expenses. I am always ready for any lovely animal whether they are a bit scared, old, or even too friendly I would love to take care of your pets! Working with both dogs and cats I have experience giving care as well as very basic training when needed in a long term space. I have interned at an exotic animal care location and would love to get experience taking care for your pets as well!

I do currently work part-time nights on some days but as long as your needs fall on one of my free days or earlier in the day of my work day I would be glad to be of service to you! I care for 2 dogs at home currently that get along with everyone they meet and 1 cat that needs a little warming up to get to know you. They are feed 2 times a day as well as taken out before eating for ample play time. At random times they are given even more play time and trained if time permits it! I would love to care for your pets the same way I do to my own and would give nothing but love towards them the way you do so they feel just as safe and happy as if you were still there with them! I have been trusted with other family members pets and put pet safety at the upmost priority.

Riverdale pet parents share their Rover experiences
I had a great experience with my dog sitter Kerry . She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive with my clingy Gerberian Shepsky, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She maintained a calm presence and clearly understands how to work with dogs that need a little extra attention and reassurance. She followed all of my house rules, stuck to the feeding schedule, and made sure my dog got regular walks and care. It was such a relief knowing everything was being handled responsibly and with genuine care. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.

Hadiya was amazing! I don’t have a single bad thing to say. She came over to do a meet and greet and our 4 dogs loved her so we booked her. 2 of our 4 dogs have special needs and she was able to help with their medications, diapers etc. she was also a fantastic house guest. She was communicative and sent updates and pics of the dogs throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her and we will be booking her again for our next trip.
