1. Andrea H.

“Andrea was absolutely wonderful with my cat Bella and my fish Bumble. Bella is usually pretty outgoing, and Andrea did an amazing job keeping her entertained and happy. I loved getting the updates and pictures—Bella looked so comfortable and content, and Bumble was well cared for too. Coming home to such happy pets and a tidy space was a great feeling. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for someone who truly cares!”


2. Tala D.

“Tala is exactly what you want to find on Rover! Responsible, respectful and communicative. Took wonderful care of my cat, my home and my peace of mind while I was away! Extremely thorough with twice daily drop in updates, including adorable pictures, but most importantly confirming that she was flawlessly executing the instructions I had left. I will rebook with her every time, and genuinely believe my cat is looking forward to me leaving so he can spend more time with his new bestie! 😻🙏🏻🤩”

About: I am a patient and caring sitter who aims to make your pup feel just like you're at home. I have cared for dogs of various breeds and ages, including puppy raising and training. I only provide availability to pet-sit on days I can fully commit, so my day can be spent entirely with your pet! My availability is generally on Friday evenings, weekends, and some holidays. Before agreeing to pet-sit, I want to meet you and your pet. That way we can set expectations, boundaries, and see if I am a good fit as a sitter. This also allows your pet to become familiar with me so that when it comes time to sit, I am someone they already know. I also believe in regular communication when sitting. I will send photos and messages regularly so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and in good hands.


4. Colleen D.
“Colleen is a very kind and compassionate, and I’m a loving individual. She has watched my pets on many occasions, when I was out of town for multiple days at a time. I always felt confident, leaving my pets in Colleen’s tender, loving care never worrying that they would not be tended to as if I were home myself. I was very sad when Colleen moved out of state and was no longer available for me to use her as a pet sitter any longer . Anyone would be lucky to have her to walk or watch their pets. Thank you,”


5. Nicole M.

6. Christine L.
“Christine is the most loving, gentle, and smart pet caregiver and owner I know! She has two dogs of her own and does so much research to provide them with the most loving and safe home. I would recommend her to anyone needing a dog or cat sitter. She is amazing. You will keep wanting to book with her !!”


7. Esperanza M.
“Esperanza is always lovely with my Caspar. The highlight of my booking with her is getting frequent updates and pictures of him throughout his stay. She is very responsive, and Caspar always has a great time in her care!”


8. Carissa M.

“Carissa is super sweet and took such great care of my pups! She was incredibly communicative and sent wonderful updates so I was never worried while I was away. Thank you Carissa!”


9. Juan A.

“I highly recommend Juan! He arrived on time, took 15 mins to get to know us and our needs, and was super caring with our dog, Tobi. If you are looking for someone who is calm, caring, patient, and great at communicating, I would highly suggest contacting Juan.”


10. Cindy P.

“Cindy was absolutely wonderful! She is very friendly, thorough, and attentive and did a great job watching my lil guy. I would definitely book with her again.”


11. Matt H.


“Matt did a wonderful job watching our elderly kitty Felipe! His check-in’s were always extremely thorough with lots of pictures of our girl! He was always on time to check on her and did a great job giving Felipe her probiotic every night. He even went the extra mile as to sit and stay with her when she wasn’t feeling too social to make sure her food settled alright, which meant the world to us because our baby has a sensitive tummy. When she did have a tummy issue and threw up, Matt was sure to notify us immediately and clean up throughly. Felipe is very wary of new people usually, but she warmed up to Matt straight away, which is a testament to how great of a human he is!”


12. Haleluya W.
“Hale took care of my dog April when my family and I were out of town for our annual London during the fall. Not only was she extremely responsive, but she was also very gentle with her throughout the week we were gone. Over the years we’ve had our fair share of people taking care of our dog. Most people take these kinds of jobs for the quick buck and flexibility. Not Hale. She was diligent, friendly, and passionate about taking care of April. We deeply recommend her services to anyone looking.”


13. Arianne D.
About: Hi there, growing up I was always surrounded by pets. My family had a dog, birds, fish, hermit crabs, and a hamster. I’ve always loved taking care of pets and spending time with them- they bring me so much joy! I am free to dog walk/sit on weekends! I am able to care for pets any time after 5pm on weekdays as needed. I set aside time for pet care through exercise, playtime, and dog walking. I can provide your pets with proper nutrition and a safe environment at all times, keeping them hydrated. I will pay close attention to detail and consult with owners about the pets mood, behavior before trying to provide any comfort. I’m also very active! I will take pets on runs or walks with me depending on their exercise level as well!


14. Rocky M.
About: Experienced with all dog breeds, I provide personalized care, including puppy training, senior dog support, special needs care, and tailored exercise. Dependable, safe, and passionate about pets! Im currently going to school at Servite High School and play soccer on a club team. I’ve lived with dogs all my life, and have a deep love for them. I offer personalized dog walking and check-in services at your pet’s home. I ensure they receive exercise, attention, and regular feeding while maintaining their comfort and routine.


15. Alondra R.
About: My entire 26 years I have been surrounded by animals. Whether it be dogs, cats, roosters, turtles and even tarantulas. There’s something so wholesome about the unconditional love of animals. I love being surrounded by all animals, especially dogs and cats, I cherish every moment spent in their company. I currently work part time as a teacher aid and looking for an extra source of income. I have the weekends completely open and week days I work from 11:30-5pm, so this gives me flexibility to ensure pets receive the attention, love and care they need. I am routine oriented so house sitting allows me to maintain structured schedule that benefits the pets I look after. In my two-bedroom apartment, I have a fenced balcony that provides a secure outdoor space for pets to get fresh air and enjoy some time outside without risk. Plus a separate home entrance ensures easy access for drop-offs and pick-ups, minimizing stress for the pets and their owners. In my home, I provide a cozy, clean space for pets to relax and feel at home. I maintain a routine that includes regular feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet time, all tailored to the pet’s specific habits and preferences. NOTE : I do have a cat at home so preferably cat friendly pets. My cat is very quiet, she is considered a “senior” cat, so she won’t interact much nor leave her room.


16. Elyssa H.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, including raising dogs and cats from mere weeks old to their final days. I currently have a 11y/o Rottweiler, so I’m familiar with handling large dogs. I love going on walks or spending time lounging together. I also have experience pet sitting for my loved ones and have proven to be a reliable and very thorough caretaker. I’m very responsible and, honestly, am saving up for my medical school applications this year! I’m currently working part time, giving me lots of free time, especially on the weekends. My schedule does vary, and I’ll ensure I update my availability when I have that info. I treat all pets as my own. I have a dog and cat in my home, who are both friendly/stick to themselves. I always respect my clients’ way of caring for their fur babies, and I do my best to replicate that style of care for them.


17. Theodora O.
About: I am a dog lover and enthusiast. I've owned and cared for dogs for 25+ years. I've trained a Siberian Husky to be a service animal for a friend for example and owned my own for 7 years. After his passing, I didn't get another dog for 2 years. Currently, I own a Belgian Malinois whom I am training for service-animal work, as well as having personally trained her for therapy dog work. We go around to Skilled Nursing Facilities on their designated days and provide pet therapy for those who would like. My long-term boyfriend and my kiddo born in 2012 live in the home with me. They are so wonderful and helpful with the doggo's that come around. Especially my son. He'll play fetch and tug-o-war with the doggo's all day long. -Full-time nursing student until December 2025. I love all dogs. It brings me so much joy and happiness to care for your pets. Not only do we go on plenty of walks, and play, but I can also provide obedience training. If there are specific training needs you require, please let me know and we can work on whatever you need. Prices on Rover reflect basic boarding and walking. If additional services such as training are requested, those come at a higher fee, and we can discuss those based on the individual needs of your pet! It's tough having to board your pet or not have time for a walk, and while I have the time, I'd love to be of service. First and foremost, I offer a calm, safe, and fun environment. I'm currently a full-time Nursing student. I have a son born 2012. Plenty of time to walk and care for your pets and have the skill set and training to make your pets as happy and comfortable as possible. I personally enjoy long walks as well :) A typical day for dog boarding includes 2 short walks ( about 15-20min ) and 1 long walk ( 45-90min ) The longer walk includes play time, dog park if applicable, etc. My days average between 17,000-20,000 steps. I have three levels in my home, all wood floors and furniture covers. Doggo's that come for boarding will be in a big livingroom on the main floor. We have a small fenced patio. Fenced grassy area behind the patio for play and potty breaks. I have water and food bowls already & plenty of doggie toys. Please bring your dog's bed or a blanket with your' homes smell. It helps with comfort and anxiety levels for the dogs. 🐕🐶🐩
