About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life; at both houses we had at least 3 cats and 3 dogs at a time with the occasional hamster, rat, snake, or rabbit. I’ve adopted most of my pets from shelters, and have helped raised two litters (one was kittens, the other was puppies). Having a wide variety of animals introduced me to a wide array of personality types from friendly and cuddly to moody or shy. These experiences have taught me to have an abundance of patience and understanding, and to be able to adapt to individual needs. The animals I’ve watched/raised/trained have been all different breeds and sizes; from a 3 pound chihuahua to a 85 pound German/Pitt mix. I’ve taken care of older dogs, who need extra care, as well as sick dogs and/or dogs with preexisting conditions who require medications once, twice, or three times a day. Not only have I helped with my animals, but I’ve watched other peoples houses/pets as well. I’m pretty much a homebody, so aside from a couple hours each day, I’m available and flexible and can hangout with your pets for as long as you need. I’m a great communicator too, so if an issue were to arise, I will reach out right away because your pet’s health and well-being is my top priority. I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is open and flexible. I do prefer a couple of days of notice in advanced, unless it’s an emergency. I will take care of your pet however you need me to. When it comes your pets health and well-being, I know you know what’s best, and I will never disrespect your wants or needs. If you need me to house sit, I will respect your property. I’m very neat, organized, and clean (slightly OCD) so I would never leave a mess.
“My cats warmed right up to Demi! It was a great peace of mind having her stay in my home with them so they wouldn't be bored or lonely with an empty house while I was away on a weekend trip. Demi was communicative and sent frequent updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“If we could leave 6/5 stars we would! Natalia is the best dog sitter we have had and for the first time we were able to go out of town and not have any worries or stress. She took such good care of our puppy, followed all of our directions perfectly, and sent the most amazing updates and photos while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure our puppy was well cared for and loved! We are so glad we booked her and can’t wait for her to watch our Sully boy again!”

“We are so grateful to have found Mai! She takes such great care of our dogs and home every time we’re away. Our dogs absolutely love her, and it gives us peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Mai follows all our instructions carefully, asks for clarification when needed, and keeps us updated throughout her stay. Plus, she always leaves the house spotless! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring dog sitter.”

“For a second time, Daria took great care of our dog (and house) and we received plenty of photos & updates throughout our ~2 weeks away. I'm sure Momo will gladly have her come hang out again in the future.”

About: I have worked in a dog boarding facility, always taking care to clients both humans and pets including love and care of all. Feeding, bathing, love and tender care are just some of the things I have done here as well as care for elderly, pups, and disabled dogs. I am pretty open and available throughout the week and weekends. I do have my own cat so I need to make sure I tend to them some time in the day. Safety, care, and love as well always on alert for danger or potential threats. I am always putting my all in and love building rapport and relations with my clients for best outcome and safety.
“Johnatan took care of my dog for 2 weeks. He’d feed her and walk her twice a day. He was always respectful and kept me posted about my dog’s activities. He washed the linens before departing and even gave my dog a quick bath (he forgot the blow-drying part though). As much as I’d like to give him 5 stars, there’s still room for improvement as he forgot to leave the sliding door open for the dog to go outside leading to the dog peeing and popping inside of the house. He sometimes took 8+ hours to get back home and a couple of nights he wasn’t able to return at all and my dog slept alone. The latter due to he working part time at a place located 1 hr away from our home. Overall, a thrustful boy who just needs to get more experience.”


About: I have experience taking care of dogs because I grew up with them. Being around dogs has always felt natural to me, so I understand the basics of feeding them, walking them, playing with them, keeping them comfortable, and paying attention to what they need. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, but I’m also playful, so I enjoy making sure dogs are not just cared for, but actually happy and engaged. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I would always respect the owner’s instructions and take time to understand what works best for their dog. I’m currently in college and home for the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and make scheduling easy for you. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or general house rules. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. For walks or visits, I would stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs secure on their leash, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to how they’re acting. My goal is for the pet to feel cared for and for the owner to feel relaxed knowing their dog is safe and in good hands.
“Whitney did a great job while staying in my home for almost 2 weeks and caring for my senior girl pup. I was impressed with her communication and transparency about what was going on. I would definitely use her (and her mom) again! Thanks!”

“Jesika and Jyhikeen sat for our 3 rambunctious cats for 10 days, and were wonderful! Great, caring communication, daily photos, and we came home to a clean house and happy cats. We'd absolutely hire them again.”

About: All animals tend to love me, I have not met a animal that has never liked me, even the most timid animals feel comfortability when come in contact with me I do online schooling, so dog walking would be the best side hussle to take on to earn that extra money on my own time. I care for pets like any other owner would, which is feeding, playing and walking. May even bathe them if they are needed after playing or walking
About: Currently working from home full time! I own a 4 year old shihtzu terrier named Cooper. He’s a super friendly little guy who gets a long with basically any dog. On my free time I enjoy taking my dog to dog parks and interacting with other dog owners. I have experience handling all types of dogs and sizes. Seeing a dog's tail wag super fast is one of my joys! Aside from working and loving dogs, I do enjoy being a foodie and eating at the newest hot spots that open up. Let me know if there is anything else you need to know about me! Working from home full time so I can drop in to walk your dog during the day time if needed! Otherwise usually available weekends as well. I live in a apartment complex on the first floor so there is some room for your dog to roam around. There is also a dog park nearby.
Russell City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kimberly is an amazing dog sitter and house sitter!! She is great with communication and providing multiple daily updates to make us feel comfortable knowing our dogs are being taken great care of. She has watched our pups a couple times now and we’ve been very happy with her services! She also takes great care of the home too!

Min was amazing! Right away we knew Min would be a great fit for our 5 year old labradoodle. Min kept us updated and sent pics throughout his stay. He took very great care of our dog and home. We plan to stay in touch with Min and use his services in the future!
I can't thank him enough for the amazing care he gave to my dogs, Lana and Happy. From the very beginning, he treated them like his own. He even gave them a new ball, took them to the lake for walks and playtime, and kept me constantly updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. On top of all the love and attention, he made sure they were always safe and happy. It's clear he truly loves what he does, and that makes all the difference. I highly recommend him without hesitation!

Claudia is wonderful!! When I got home, the dogs were relaxed. For me, that's a sign of good pet sitting. They are comfortable with Claudia and her care. The pictures Claudia sent me showed that they were doing well. My dogs are getting older and need medication, which Claudia handled well. I will book her again!
