About: I have experience with pets of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies and senior dogs to cats who just want some company (or their space!). I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and routine, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. Whether it's long walks, giving meds, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat your pets like my own—with care, comfort, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m organized and make time each day to give pets my full attention, whether it’s for walks, feeding, or just quality time. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I’m used to balancing a consistent schedule. Caring for pets is something I look forward to—it never feels like a chore. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routine so they feel safe and at ease. I keep their space clean and comfortable, and I’m always mindful of any special needs. I take safety seriously, whether it’s making sure doors are secure or staying alert on walks. I truly care about each pet and treat your home with the same respect I’d want for my own.

About: I have grown up with small dogs and large dogs. Between Shih Tzus, Aussies, labs, huskies and more, I have been around them all. I currently have four Aussies in our family home that I care for everyday. They are very energetic dogs so I am always playing with them outside or taking them on walks. As well, I have volunteered at many animal shelters and currently volunteer at my college animals shelter. It has given me lots of experience with dogs of all sizes, needs, energy levels, and comfort levels. As well as time spent socializing with the cats! As a college student who mostly babysits, I am very flexible with my weeks. I have a lot of random availability and free time during the day. As well, if I do work, it is usually during the day so I can stay with your animals over night. I am open to any options of care. With fenced in homes, I am always going to let your fur baby run around and play with them. Though, I love to walk and I know they do too. Walks will always happen even if play happens first!

Alexis did an amazing job with my cat! She was able to give him his oral medication (which is not easy to shove down his throat) and his inhaler. She earned his trust and he loved her by the end. Alexis sent me videos and pictures every time she would drop in. I highly recommend her and will be using her again.

In the past we’ve used a boarding service for our kitty Douglas, but due to him coming home stressed out more often than not this time we decided to try rover for our 6 day trip and we are glad we did! Luy followed all our directions and we came home to a happy kitty cat! We had no issues while away and felt like our baby was very safe with Luy. We will be using her again when we take our next trip!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. From playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and care, I treat every pet like family. As a future nursing student and lifelong animal lover, I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable handling feeding routines, medications, walks, playtimes, and lots of affection. I currently have a very flexible schedule for the summer and am available for drop ins and walks throughout the week. Once I begin school in the fall, my availability will become more limited, but I’ll continue to keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly about scheduling, and always happy to work with pet parents to find a time that works for both. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure before walks or potty breaks to ensure safety. I respect each client’s homes, and make sure pets have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, attention, and lots of affection. I also make sure to provide detailed updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

This was my first time using Rover as a client. This was my first time using Sarah. Sarah did a great job of taking care of everything. She had a lot of items to check for functionality. Sarah did an exceptional job in dealing with my daily changes that occurred as I had to find the perfect routine for my outdoor cats. Some things went off line but she went with the flow and was able to transition nicely with the issues. I hope she will sit for me again if asked

Elena is very friendly, respectful, great communication, and knowledgeable. We had peace of mind knowing out pets where in great hands.

About: I’m a dedicated dog mom to my senior Pomeranian, Tito, so I understand how important patience, gentle care, and attention to detail are—especially with small and older dogs.

About: I have had the pleasure of growing up with several different types of dogs and animals ranging from dogs, cats guinea pigs hamsters to more exotic animals like chinchillas My job is currently on break and when it does return it is very slow so I am always looking to stay busy and I love animals so that’s the perfect job for me! I tend to over love and care for them, as anyone would when you see how adorable they are! But most importantly safety is my #1 concern, my career is all about safety first so I take that very serious , you never know what type of environment or other animal can be thrown into the mix so eyes open at all times. I always pay attention to detail & how a animal is acting if out of the ordinary and safety is the #1 most important to me next to providing care & love while you are away

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have a genuine passion for them. I have experience in dogs of all sizes from Yorkie mixes to English mastiffs. Most of my experience is with older dogs but willing to work with puppies. I love taking the time to get to know each dog and their personalities. I am a teacher on summer break so my schedule is pretty flexible this time of year! Most of my availability is during the day for walking but can be available at night if needed. I am comfortable putting dogs in and out of crates and administering medication if needed. Not afraid to clean up messes when needed. Comfortable walking dogs. I have my own car so I can drive if needed at any time.

About: With over 12 years of experience, I've cared for multiple dogs, trained two, and consistently follow routines. I enjoy walking dogs and ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and well-fed. I’ve also cared for my uncle’s dogs and picked up many effective training techniques along the way. I'm reliable, patient, and passionate about giving every dog the attention and structure they need. I currently don’t have another job, so my schedule is completely open and flexible. I’m available any day, any time, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s a last-minute request or a regular routine, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your dog’s needs. My open availability means you can always count on me. I always follow the feeding and walking schedules provided by clients to ensure each dog’s routine stays consistent and comfortable. Most clients leave a list or specific details, and I make sure to stick to them closely. In between scheduled tasks, I spend quality time playing with the dogs, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you're away.

About: Hi! My name is Cassandra (or Cassie!) and I’ve been caring and living with animals my whole life. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities! This includes puppies, seniors, special needs, and even pets that need extra health assistance! Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I always treat them with love, patience, and respect as if they were my own. I am a nursing student, so responsibility, compassion, and safety are top priorities for me and your furry friends! - I am currently in between semesters for college and only work part-time on alternating weekends, which gives me lots of time to spend at home and lots of availability during the weekdays to spend time with your pets! Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just making sure they feel safe and cared for, I’ll give them plenty of attention. - When pets stay with me, they’ll be in a loving, pet-friendly home where they’re welcome on furniture and beds if that’s what they’re used to. I also live in a quiet area with green space and a walking path nearby that’s perfect for outdoor breaks. - I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always communicate, send updates, and make sure your furry family member feels happy and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 I live in a clean, pet-friendly home with a safe setup for any and all pets! While I don’t have a fenced yard, I’m in an end unit with lots of green space and a walking path right across the street, perfect for outdoor time! Pets in my care are welcome on furniture and beds if that’s what they’re used to, and I can easily crate if preferred. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Each pet is treated as if they are my own!

She did a great job with my dogs Sutton and Chaz for weekend drop-ins! I honestly don’t know how she managed to walk both of them together, because Sutton can be a terrible walker, but I came home to two very happy dogs. Everything was taken care of, and it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her!
