“Ladonna and her husband were awesome in taking care of my cat while I was gone for a week on vacation. I always received updates with pictures daily, so there was never anything to worry about. I was also glad to see she had brought him an extra toy so he was able to play when no one was at my apartment, along with a picture magnet I was able to put on my fridge of my cat. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to take care of their animals.”


About: I've taken care of family and friend's pets for all my life. In my teenage years I took pet care more seriously and now I hang out with dogs more than people. I'm a part-time college student so I have lots of free time in the mornings, afternoons and nights. I also enjoy exercising and going on adventures which most dogs enjoy as well. I treat my pets like anyone else in my family, with respect and kindness. I will extend that same level of respect towards your pets and become friends with them in no time.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was a kid! From hamsters and guinea pigs to cats, rats, dogs, and more – I’ve cared for them all. I’ve groomed, walked, cuddled, and even assisted in birth. Being around animals fills my heart with so much joy and comfort; their energy is truly unmatched. Rover isn’t just a side gig for me – it’s a chance to live my passion every day. I’d be honored to earn your trust and care for your furry friend like they’re my own. Let’s make their tails wag and hearts happy! 🐾🫶🏽 Im currently working a part-time seasonal job that is ending in the end of December. So until the program opens back up I’m pretty free but even after I start back working I work from home so it won’t really affect my schedule. I don’t have any other pets in the home nor kids so that won’t be a problem. I also already frequently take walks around my complex which has a fenced in dog park area. Even without pets of my own, I prioritize safety, trust, and the well-being of animals in my care. In a setting like my complex with a dog park and large yards, I ensure pets are always supervised in open areas, preventing accidents or escapes, while maintaining secure fencing and a pet-proofed indoor space. Building trust is essential, so I follow each pet's routine and respect their boundaries, using positive reinforcement to create a calm and reassuring environment. Whether indoors or in the yard, I focus on providing enrichment, exercise, and a comfortable, stress-free space for pets to feel safe, happy, and well-cared for.

“Arsiyana was great with our cat Alan. She was quick to respond and sent many wonderful pictures of our cat. Would recommend her to anyone needing someone to care for their animal.”


“I had never used Rover before so I was a little nervous. Kaytlin did am excellent job though and surpassed all my expectations. My cats loved her and she sent lots of pictures. She genuinely cared about my animals. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and will definitely use her again!”


About: A home is not a home without my dogs. From whimsical wiener pups to lively labs, I’ve loved on dogs my whole life. Send your pets this way, where they’ll find their second home! Attending college online allows me take care of my dog’s needs and more. I get to spend most of the day with my dog since I work part time in the mornings 3 days out of the week. I’m mostly a homebody who enjoys making memories with my chocolate lab. I live in a house with a finished basement, so there’s plenty of safe space for dogs to playfully run around. We have a partially fenced backyard and open front yard with plenty of scents to uncover. The basement has a back door for quick access for emergency accidents and separate rooms if any dogs want some alone time.

About: I've had over 20 dogs currently I have 4 5 if you include our neighbors who enjoys being over. Dogs spend 90 percent of there life waiting on us either returning from work or what ever erand we are unable to take then with Lola I take every time I'm driving around. As a dedicated pet sitter on Rover, I've seamlessly integrated pet care into my daily routine, ensuring each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Here's how it fits into my life: **Morning Routine**: I start my day with a refreshing walk, perfect for giving your dog their first exercise and bathroom break of the day. This is followed by breakfast time, ensuring they have a nutritious start. **Daytime Activities**: Throughout the day, I engage pets in stimulating activities, whether it's playtime in the yard, interactive toys, or relaxing cuddle sessions. I also incorporate any specific training or exercise needs they might have. **Flexibility**: My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate the unique needs of each pet. Whether it's administering medication, extra walks, or special dietary requirements, I ensure every detail is covered. **Evening Routine**: Evenings include a final walk or play session, followed by dinner. I create a calm environment for winding down, ensuring pets feel secure and comfortable. **Updates and Communication**: Throughout the day, I provide updates and photos, keeping you connected with your pet and giving you peace of mind. By integrating pet care into my daily life, I ensure a balanced and nurturing environment for every pet, making their stay enjoyable and stress-free I do not have a fenced in yard I live in the country my dogs are kenneld at night but roam during the day however they never travel far or are in danger.

“Naomi went above and beyond caring for my two disabled chihuahuas and my rascal cat. One of my dogs has mega-esophagus and requires a very specific feeding and Naomi followed the instructions and the chihuahu thrived under her care. The chihuahuas are very picky and absolutely loved her! I am already planning more trips because of how great Naomi is.”


About: I’ve been taking care of pets ever since my first dog at age 11. Since then I’ve been walking, feeding, bathing and caring for friends and neighbors pets often. I love animals and the outdoors so it’s become a dream job for me. I work on the weekends so throughout the week I can give your pets my full undivided attention. Monday through Thursdays I usually spend studying alone so it would be nice to have furry company! I have a fenced in backyard that’s perfect for any dog. Although I don’t have any pets myself all my neighbors have furry babies and I have the perfect neighborhood for walks. I spend most time outdoors so I don’t mind going out. I enjoy taking the dogs on walks or to the park. Pets who like the indoors will have their own bed at my house. I will rarely dog sit at another person’s house but there can be a few exceptions.

About: I grew up with dogs and can’t imagine living in a household without them! I was always the girl in the neighborhood that got called to get an assortment of animals out of peoples’ yards because I’ve always been good with all kind of animals. Currently I’m a student at Mercer and often dog sit my roommate’s dogs and really enjoy it so I figured I’d expand from there! I’m currently a student at Mercer with classes mostly in the morning, and I am also a barista at Red Owl Coffee Company. As I cut back on my summer hours with the school year starting I’ll need something to supplement that time. At home my roommates have a pit bull and a chihuahua, I can lift and crate both easily, so size of the dog will not be an issue for me. I also used to work in nursing homes and although people are different than dogs it taught me patience and how to adapt to every individual under my care.

About: Hey my name is Jess, I used to be a kennel tech where taking care of animals is my number one priority. I hope to one day become a dog trainer and open my own dog training business as I have fell in love with training my own pup, Chief. I am really good with any breed of dog or cat and I will make sure they are loved and cared for to my upmost ability. Pet care is my number one priority so whenever I’m needed I’ll do my very best to be there. I’m currently doing this as my sole job so I’m mainly always free. I always make sure your dog gets plenty of potty breaks and exercise along with a lot of attention to make sure your dog stays happy. I then will make sure that if the animal, dog or cat gets the meds it needs if taking any, and gets fed to your standards. I love training so if you ever needed any help I would be up for the task. As for cats I have no problems with messes in general so a litter box is no big deal and I will make sure your cat gets lots of love. In general I love all animals and I will make sure you and the animal is satisfied and happy.

“Amber was so awesome! She was able to help us out last minute with my dad's dogs when he went into the hospital. She made it so convenient for us with picking up the key and even grabbed some food because it was low. She was great with the dogs and we will definitely use her again in the future! Thanks Amber!”


About: I’ve always been a dog and cat lover! I have a three-year-old mini golden doodle of my own. Ironically, I love big dogs too! Once, I dog-sat a huge golden doodle who was also an elder dog. I always made sure to treat him with the best care I could. I can’t wait to meet more pups and cats! I’m currently working full time morning shifts. I am trying to save up money to live more comfortably. I am mostly available in the evening time and the days I’m off I can do any time! I will always make sure your dog does not get off their leash and that they are always comfortable, safe, and loved ! I will also always make sure your cats feel safe and loved!
