“Highly recommend! During my trip, she provided regular updates and adorable photos. She went above and beyond by playing with my cats, keeping the litter box clean, and fed them appropriately. :)”

“Alejandra did a great job with lots of communication and photos. She also was great at navigating any mishaps, like escaping chickens. Would definitely book again!”

“Leslie was so wonderful to my babies. I cannot praise her enough! She helped me when I was in a bind which will not be forgotten. She took pictures of her playing with them with frequent updates, as well. She is definitely worth 5 stars. If there was 6 stars, she would get them!”

About: I have had several animals over the years. Dogs, Cats, Small birds, Fish and small reptiles. All so very different. Have had curious pups, one who obtained an eye injury from our cat requiring eyedrops. Elderly dogs that have sensitive needs and care. Experienced in administrating minor meds or changing dressings if needed. Had a husky who was an escape artist, very familiar with securing yards, fencing, holes or gates. Became a fast runner too! Paid for boarding for my dogs that I was not pleased about, maybe because mine are a bit spoiled? Animals are not just pets, they are part of the family! I work during the day 8-5pm Monday through Friday. I can check on pets before and after work and any time on the weekends. Able to do night stays if needed. My dogs are crate trained for bed or mischief if it happens. They get switched every 2-4 hrs or so for potty breaks. I don’t leave them outside when weather is extreme (hot,cold or rainy). I don’t play tug a war as Caesar states it’s an aggressive game for dogs. I like to make dogs earn their treats if it’s only a simple sit…😎

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was five years old, and I truly believe great pet care comes from patience, consistency, and genuine love. I enjoy dogs of all personalities; from high-energy pups and determined, stubborn dogs to sweet snuggle bugs. I take the time to learn each dog’s needs and preferences, because no two dogs are the same. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, administering medications, and managing a variety of diets. I always aim to provide calm, reliable care that helps dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m a college student with open weekend availability and flexible weekday availability throughout the day. I’m happy to schedule visits around my class times and can reliably check in on your pets during gaps in my schedule. I currently care for two cats, two dogs (a chocolate lab and a dachshund), and a rabbit, so I’m very familiar with managing different personalities, routines, and needs. While I don’t provide in-home boarding, I focus on caring for pets in their own environment, where they’re most comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in being reliable, respectful, and attentive, so you can feel confident your pets are safe and well cared for while you’re away.
“Vanessa is always super responsive and my cats absolutely adore her! She's given me peace of mind my cats are being loved and cared for while family is away!”

“Geneva was fantastic with my kitties! She was super responsive and knowledgeable. I felt super comfortable leaving my cats to her for the holidays. Even my cat who is skiddish warmed up quickly to her! Highly recommend for anyone who wants an attentive and friendly sitter. Thanks, Geneva!!”

About: I have taken care of pets for neighbors, friends, and teachers of mine! I also volunteered at Watermelon Mountain Ranch in high school. I would be honored to be chosen to take care of your companion! I am in the job market, so I am available when you need me! I can take your dog to the park or on a walk during your lunch, or even stay with them during the weekdays. I can carry out any instructions for care that are given. If your dog needs a lot of play and stimulation, I can accommodate! If your animal is low maintenance and prefers to cuddle on the coach, I can bring a book or watch a show.
“Justine was a new sitter and although I already left and wasn’t able to provide a meet and greet, she did absolutely amazing with my two kitties! Highly recommend Justine as she was on it 10000%!!”

“Erin was so communicative, and clearly so full of love for critters! I would absolutely recommend her if you’re looking for confidence in knowing your furry loved ones will be cared for like they are her own.”


“Thank you for watching our puppies Kim. They are always happy to see you which makes us feel confident and comfortable while we’re away. We look forward to the next time.”

“Levi was wonderful. He is prompt to answer messages, quick to understand complex care instructions, and delivers exactly as promised. He pictures with each visit and our cats are happy! 🐱”

“She arrived on time, stayed the appropriate amount of time, made us aware of her presence in and out of the house, and sent photos. When we got home, Nibbler seemed happy. We will be happy to work with her again.”

About: I have always been around dogs my whole life, I currently have two fur babies of my own. I have a lot of love for dogs in general, and I would love to take care of your baby as well. I currently work in the mornings, I am available after 3 PM until 10 PM. I am also available all day on weekends if needed. I have experience with larger dogs making it easier to be able to restrain and crate a dog if needed. I am able to accommodate all sizes to offer a comfortable experience for any dog.
“Rhiannon was wonderful (this was our second time working with her) -- our cat loves her! We so appreciated the videos and photos while we were away. Thank you!”

About: I grew up caring for both small and large dogs, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. I’m patient, gentle, and always treat pets like family. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy on every walk or visit! Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule. I’m available most days of the week, and I love getting outside with my daughter, so adding dog walks into our day is a natural fit. Your pup will get plenty of attention, fresh air, and a calm, consistent routine! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their usual routine to help their dog feel comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on time, and plenty of love and attention. I give regular potty breaks, safe walks, and stick to any instructions you provide, whether that’s feeding, crate time, or special preferences. I treat every pet like my own and keep their home clean, respectful, and safe during each visit!
“Sarah did a great job with taking care of my pets. She followed all the instructions and really cared for them. She is dependable and very caring. So glad she is a rover for me and my pets!”

About: I've been a dog lover since I was 5! 🐶 From learning about different breeds to providing dog-sitting services, I've gained so much experience. My friends, coworkers, and my fiancé trust me with their furry friends. I have a special bond with active and big dogs, and I simply adore spending time with them. I'm currently working full time as an active duty military, very common working schedule 7-4pm and after work I have a lot of free time and also free on weekends. I have a big fenced and secured back yard. I own 2 big dogs and my fiancee owns 3 small dogs, they are very friendly but if needed I have a couple crates different sizes.
About: I have experience with taking care of small and medium sized dog’s of all kinds, plus I have experience with cat’s and even live stock experience! I charge for all animals being watched, if you add more animals you will have to pay for them I am currently available anytime, I don’t have anything going on right now my availability is open every day for drop in visits, dog walking etc! My cat loves attention and companionship from anyone, he love’s to play and be brushed as well as eat and take naps with me, he loves to sit and listen to me play guitar as well I am free all the time right now so please let me know! And I willl set up a meet and greet and then we will go from there! I always make sure everyone's fur babies are well cared for!

Route 66 West pet parents share their Rover experiences
Celeste is hands down the best pet sitter we ever had. We were so worried because we had an unexpected trip come up and were scrambling to find help with our pets. Celeste stepped up and helped us in our time of need. She went above and beyond to show us our pets were loved and well taken care of. I cannot sing her praises enough 💛💛💛
Arianna went above and beyond to take care of my two cats in an RV in 100+ temps. Normally they are shy with a new catsitter, and they trusted her right away. I booked several months early, and she proactively reached out to confirm. I highly recommend Arianna for her friendliness, concern, communication, and reliability!
