About: Growing up and in my adult years, I have been able to care for a lot of family members animals, but have not yet been able to afford one of my own. I am looking forward to pet sitting because it will fill my animal love tank! I will gladly send you pictures and videos of your animals if needed and will care for them as if they were my own 🥰 I am home during the day and would enjoy the opportunity to get out and about. I would also like to fill my weekends with more productive & fun things to do! Spending time with your pets is one of them. My parents bring their dog over a few times a week and I take him on walks every two hours and leave his hard food and water out so he has access to it at all times. In the evenings, I will get out his soft food so he can eat it before bed.

“This was my first experience using Rover and Erica exceeded all expectations! Our black lab Stewart stayed 5 days with her. She was very thorough at the 'meet and greet' learning all about our dog's routine and going over hers while we are gone. She sent daily updates with pictures of Stewart. She was very accommodating and I felt Stewart was in good hands in our absence. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you Erica.”


“Our two dogs stayed with Anna for a week while we traveled internationally and had limited opportunity to communicate because we were staying someplace remote. My fiancé particularly interacted with her in person while I handled the Rover end of things, but from my interactions with Anna via Rover and from what my fiancé said about what he witnessed, we love her. She was extremely accommodating and the dogs seemed to have a fantastic time. She seemed to love having them around and I felt comfortable not being in constant contact with her because I truly felt that the dogs were well cared for and happy. We’ve had some questionable Rover stays in the past so Anna was a breath of fresh air. We will definitely try and book with her again.”


“Emily and her family did an outstanding job of caring for Rizzo. He was having such a fun time, he didn’t want to leave. We’ll definitely be using Emily to care for Rizzo in the future .”

“Aleece took great care of my two dogs over the weekend. I had never boarded one of them and was a little nervous but everything went super smoothly and Aleece made them both feel right at home. They came home tired and happy! Aleece was also very flexible with me on dropoff and pick up time, which was very helpful.”



About: I recently lost my best fury buddy of 16 years. A human like beagle "Abbie." She loved and befriended every kind soul she met. I raised multiple dogs as a child at the family home and frequently dogsit for friends and family as needed on weekends. I love to Frequent Petco & "Rescued" where Abbie and I still have lots of friends. My residence has a welcoming pet-friendly atmosphere and a fenced in yard. I occassionally have visits from other pet buddies. My availability is limited but negotiable during the week. On the weekend, I'm available Friday nights up until about 9pm Sunday to petsit or care for your fury buddy. I look forward to the opportunity to befriend and get to know your prized critter. They're man's and my best friends.

“We used Kara and her family for a 2 day overnight stay. We have nothing but the best to say about Kara and her sweet family. Our 5 month old puppy enjoyed his time there and we will definitely use them again!!!”


About: An an animal lover and long term pet owner, I have a wide variety of personal experience in puppies and senior animal care; cats and dogs included. I elevate the pet care experience by seamlessly integrating experience in puppy training with positive reinforcement in my own dog, personal and compassionate experience with senior cat and dog care, the added touch of a peaceful backyard garden oasis, and child free home. Working from home allows me to extend my commitment to your pet's well-being into a peaceful supervised indoor and outdoor experience, where my passion in community garden work contributes to a unique and stress-free environment. Imagine your furry friend exploring lush surroundings, benefiting from the sensory delights and tranquility of nature, with no immediate pet neighbors for an accommodating sensory environment for your pet. I wake up around 5am to take care of morning feeding and outdoor breaks before my workday starts at 8am. Typically, I let dogs out in about 2 hour increments throughout my teaching day, keeping my pet and guest pets separate for optimal supervision. After work, about 5-6pm I'll feed pets dinner, and then take my dog on its daily walk, and your dog is welcome to join if that is their preferred activity. If leash walking is not preferred, then a jaunt in the backyard for exercise is a great happy medium. I have a privacy fenced in yard that can keep your dog safe during outdoor play. Pets are limited to the main floor for optimal supervision during my work day. During feeding, dogs are fed in separate rooms as a preventative behavior measure in a new environment.

“Brooke was great with our golden retriever. She sent pictures through our pup's stay with her. She made sure she had plenty of exercise, fun and attention. Brooke was very accommodating when we had a last minute request, and handled it with enthusiasm and flexibility. I would not hesitate to recommend her to family and friends.”


About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. I most recently had a Great Dane and previously a Shitzu. I have cared for friends animals as well. I work a rotating schedule so my availability will change but I will keep it up to date on the app and will be available regularly. I have a large fenced in yard with a pet free and child free home. Your dog will have my full attention and free roam of the home if that is ok with you.

“Booked Katie last minute and had an immediate response. She was very welcoming with our Marty and immediately felt like home. In fact our dog barely wanted to come back with us. Strongly recommend.”


“Mark was awesome. He was communicative during the booking and answered our questions. His home was very dog-friendly and he gave us regular updates throughout Zara’s stay. Highly recommend!”
