“Malcomn was the best Rover we ever had. Would hire him back in an instance. He was respectful, responsive, communicative and took exceptional care of our puppy and cat for a long weekend. He sent great descriptions and photos every day. He sets the bar high for Rovers!”


“She was great!!! Took care of copper like we would!!! Will definitely use her again”


“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”


“Kathryn was so wonderful! She took great care of our senior cat with special needs, and our rowdy, energetic young beagle mix. She kept in touch every day, and sent lots of photos. Our house can get a little messy with my cats litter boxes, plus he's a bit incontinent. But we returned home to an immaculate house, with very happy fur babies. We're so grateful, and will definately book Kathryn again! 100%”


“Lisa is amazing! I’m so lucky to have found her. My dog is wearing a cone from a recent surgery so I was unable to leave her alone and Lisa came to the rescue. She is so kind and attentive. I have no worries at all, and my dog loves when Lisa watches her. Thanks again for another great stay!”

About: I’ve lived with and have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages for most of my life so I hope I can be a good match for your fur babies! I’m currently looking for a more secure job so I’m available most day and can fluctuate my schedule if asked in a short amount of time 👍 If there is a set schedule for the pets I take care of, I’ll follow to the best of my abilities. This would include feeding schedules, walks/potty breaks, etc.

About: I was always had furry siblings but have graduated to a cat mama. I enjoy creating personal heavens for our companions. Reliable, punctual and kind. I have a full-time job that pays the bills but I am looking for ways to feed my soul. Overnights are great as well as drop ins. I would prefer to host at client's homes as my current home does not allow dogs. Willing to board or take cats overnight. Let's make it a sleepover!

About: As a lifelong animal lover, my experience with dogs dates back to when my family adopted our first—a golden doodle—when I was six years old. In the time since, I've helped care for a multitude of critters, big and small. I have experience handling elderly dogs and the strength to lift and assist them with getting down the stairs, using the bathroom, putting on clothes and booties, and changing diapers. Additionally, I'm well versed in administering medication to animals, whether it be a pill, injection, or liquid. As a writer, copy editor, and artist, my schedule reflects my career choices in its flexibility. With few set deadlines and the ability to work from just about anywhere, I'm free whenever you need me to be, including on short notice. I require a clean environment to thrive, and my treatment of my clients' homes aligns with that requirement. You can expect to return home to a healthy, happy animal and an abode that appears exactly how you left it. Any accidents, spills, or other messes will be cleaned promptly, and any damage that occurs will be reported to the client as soon as possible.

About: Hello all! My name is Ariel, like the mermaid :), and I have two years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets, from energetic dogs to independent cats. No matter the type of pet, I’m dedicated to ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. I love animals with my whole heart so it was a no brainer to naturally gravitate towards Rover as not only a form of extra income, but a way to interact with them more regularly. I take pride in being highly attentive to each pet's unique needs, whether it's going for long walks, providing playtime and exercise, keeping meal times consistent, or offering snuggles and companionship. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m committed to following your care instructions closely, including any special dietary needs, medication routines, or any other specifics. I also provide a google form before every booking to ensure we tailor your preferred method of care to all of your pets' specific needs! I may have only two years of experience, but I approach each pet with the same level of care and responsibility that I would for my own. You can expect regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting your furry (or feathered, or scaly) family member and providing them with the best care possible! I currently work remotely, which means I have the flexibility to provide your pets with the love and care they need without the restrictions of a typical 9-to-5 schedule. Because I work from home, I’m available during the day to give your pets extra attention when they need it most. Welcome to your pet’s home away from home! I offer in-home pet sitting at my spacious, pet-friendly house, where your furry friend will have plenty of room to relax and play. Our lower-level den is a large, comfortable space perfect for pets to explore, stretch out, and feel right at home during their stay. Your pet won’t feel lonely here—my two friendly cats love having new companions around and are happy to provide some extra company! I make sure every pet gets the attention, love, and care they need while staying in a safe, cozy environment.

“All my 4 cats warmed up to Jorinee in no time! She was an amazing cat sitter that took her work very seriously. Very puntual and very detailed on her updates. Will definitely use her services again. I completely trust her with my home and fur babies.”


“Cheyenne has dog sat for us a few times and each time she was timely and a good communicator. We’d definitely recommend and continue to book her!”


“Danny was great! He helped us out last minute when another sitter fell through for Thanksgiving. He was prompt, communicative, and did a great job with our dog and cat! We’ll definitely be using him again in the future :)”


About: From an early age I have always had a pet at home, we got Peewee 4 yrs ago, recently we adopted 2 more, their family couldn’t take care of them anymore. Toby 8yrs old and Sebastian 10yr all 3 of them are loving and get along great.. We care for your pets as if they were our own. I work from home remotely so your dog will have me at home all the time. When your dog stays home with me, I will take them in daily walks 2-3 times a day. In the day time I walk them two times 2-4hrs apart and evening, I will walk them 1 more times 2-3 hours apart. I strive to recognize those and meet them through patience, loving interaction. After our meet and greet, I like to get well acquainted with your pet and make sure they are comfortable with me. Once I’m aware of their routines, needs, we are good to go! Constant communication, you will receive regular updates, including photos, videos, so Can rest assured that your companion is receiving top notch care and attention.

About: Since I was little I always loved all kinds of animals especially dogs being my favorite. They are truly a wonderful creation on earth. I been having a pet basically my whole life and once I moved out I had to get a me a little companion or two. When I was searching for houses to buy, one of my main requirements was a house with a big back yard for my dogs to play in. I have two dogs Dakota who's 3 husky mixed with pitbull and a 8 month german shepherd who loves to play and make friends. But once again I am a very huge animal person and if you choose to let your companion stay with me I will treat and love him like my own I currently do security and most of my shifts are overnight, so your pet would be taken care of greatly throughout the day and would have plenty of outside time depending on the weather I have big fenced back yard with cameras for your dog safety and to have plenty of outside time, I also have two dogs who would love to keep them company and I am currently making a room just for the dogs to relax from everyone if needed.
