“So helpful. My dog was uncooperative yet Kathryn still did all she could to follow through with her service to the best of her ability. Very honest and communicative. I just feel bad my pup gave her a hard time.”


“Coretta was amazing - again! She sent a detailed summary of the cats’ interactions with her twice a day after each visit, with photos. I was able to relax on my trip knowing that my babies were being cared for. She followed all instructions related to opening/closing the curtains, and setting the radio in the morning. She’s is awesome!!”


“Matt was great, he stayed in constant contact and sent pictures of every visit while he was watching our dog Rocco. He even brought in packages and cleaned up after Rocco.”


“Kelera is absolutely wonderful. She was very attentive, detail-oriented, and timely in taking care of my fur babies while I was away. My babies warmed up to her instantly and we certainly won't hesitate to call upon her services again in the future. Kelera is the best!! 👍”


“Paris was an awesome care taker of my fur babies! She is very thorough in her communication with us about her time with our babies. We enjoyed and loved all the pictures she took of them while in her care. We highly recommend Paris to dog sit. She is trustworthy and my babies love her!”


About: I have had and been around dogs since I was a child. Dogs seem to come to me naturally; without fear or hesitation. I honestly believe this is because I approach them with ease and am not forceful. It seemed like a natural step for me to join the Rover community. Ive also been a dog owner and currently have Jazzy who is my beloved Boston Terrier Mix with a big personality and sweet nature. Jazzy and I chose each other and its been an adventure ever since day one! she loves everyone but at times can be a little bossy. I'm well aware of who runs the household! I pride myself on ensuring that Jazzy stays healthy by giving her quality food and treats, Along with that she enjoys her fenced in yard and takes daily walks. We have lots of playtime and cuddles. I'll treat your dog as I would my own. That is my motto as I don't want you to worry or be concerned when you are away from your precious fur baby. I can't replace you, or would never try but rest assured your pet will receive all my tender loving care. I have had the opportunity to care for some dogs on Rover who have become regular clients. The owners have told me that they reach out to me first and hope that I am available. That is a huge compliment and I'm honored that I made such an impact on their four legged friend. All the pets I have met have their own unique personality and what I do as a sitter is simply take them for who they are which includes any little quirks. Canine or human, we all possess them. If you like what you see, let's schedule a meet and greet and see if I'm the right fit for your pet and their needs. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and read my profile! I work remotely on a part time basis so can be available in the afternoon/evening and do pet sitting on the weekends away from my home. Well I make sure my dog Jazzy is loved and cared for each and every day. I give her good food and healthy treats. Daily walks and preventive meds to keep her healthy and strong.

“Chloe is great with communication and patient with Penelope. She definitely paid attention to details and has no hesitation in ensuring she understands what she is doing. Thank you, Chloe!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve been caring for them since childhood and have gained extensive experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I spent two years working at an animal shelter, where I handled everything from socializing shy rescues to assisting with basic training and care for high-energy pups.

Having a companion can help ease anxiety and make their stay more fun and engaging. Whether they love to play, lounge, or explore, I create a comfortable, stress-free environment where every dog feels at home.

About: I have been taking care of all sorts of pets such as hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs ever since I was young. I have learned to work with all sorts of pets and I am extremely attentive to their needs. I know how to read their body language and even train them. I was able to train my dog tricks when she was a puppy as well. Now that it is officially summertime, I would like to become more active in my spare time. What better way to get moving with a furry friend! I have open availability and would love to walk/pet sit during my free time. Pet safety is extremely important to me. In my own home we have a fence to ensure my dog cannot escape or anything can enter to harm her. I believe pet owners should have fences as well. I will make sure everything is secure and safe for any service I am providing for the pet.

“Jorinee was excellent with both of my cats. I am so glad I found her. I use to be concerned about who would look after my fur babies or even if I would be able to travel at all. My cats were very comfortable with her. They were relaxed, well fed and their litter box was clean. You can tell it was done on a consistent basis. I have another lengthy vacation for next year and will no doubt be requesting her. She is excellent and I would recommend her to anyone asking.”

About: We have always had pets growing up. Both cats and dogs. I've had a pit bull in my early teens and had also adopted a 10yr old senior dog. I have experience giving my senior medicine and being extra gentle when it is needed. I currently have a reactive German Shepherd so if you're looking for someone to watch your big dog that pulls a lot, I have tons of experience and am strong enough to hold him or her. Basically I have had experience with animals in different stages of their life. Im still learning as Odin has training classes and I use what I learn to help with other pets. I've watched pets for friends and family in the past and have done drop in visits for years now. I am able to travel further distances if you aren't able to find someone local just send a message. I do work full-time so I can come before or after work through out the week. I'm off two days out of the week and if you would like to schedule a weekly walk schedule or drop in visit I will work closely with you to make my schedule accommodating for your pet. Ex. If you would like a certain day or if the week for me to walk and visit your dog I can request those days off if far enough in advance. Currently I am not doing overnight visits or day care but it's important to keep pets on their original schedule. For drop-in visits and walks, I think it would be best to stick to their original route and if they don't yet have one, a walk with a nice game of fetch is usually good enough to tire them out a bit. I will always send pictures when your pet and I are on our adventures together.

Ariel R.
“Ariel is by far a very reliable person. She has watched my Dog numerous of times when I have gone out of town. My dog loves her and always greets her with furry kisses. I even recommended her to a friend who has a Dog and cat and he also calls on ariel whenever he needs her to watch his fur babies”




Danielle R.
“Danielle is the best sitter I've ever had. She not only cares for my 13 year old dog Snow but treats him with the senior care he needs. She make sure he gets his afternoon arthritis pills he needs and she always follows instructions of where he can and can't go outside so he doesn't trip of hurt himself. She is always on time, and dependable. Because she knows how to care for senior dogs I only trust Danielle to take care of Snow. With her vet tech background, I trust her judgment if at any day something happens with Snow and she recommends he needs to go to the vet asap. Thank you Danielle!!! A+++”
