“Michaela is incredible when it comes to my 2 cats! She is the cat whisperer and got my shyest one to come out and get some pets and love! It’s always peace of mind knowing my boys are taken care of with Michaela.”

“Magnoly is literally the best! She was extremely kind, patient, and knowledgeable with our dog Apollo and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again! She communicates everything every step of the way and was sooo flexible when I booked the wrong dates for visits and when we asked her to drop in again on short notice! She couldn’t have been a better person for Apollo’s first night by himself and our first Rover experience, we absolutely love her!!”

“Ann Marie was an amazing sitter for our two kitties! My first time using a sitter but she made the process seamless and gave us peace of mind. She even took time to take photos and give them treats. Couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely rebook next time we leave for vacation.”

“Yarymar is incredible!!! She is so easy to communicate and plan with and is wonderful with our animals!!! It makes traveling easier knowing she is there with our furry loves!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, working with all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from high-energy pups to senior dogs who need a gentler approach. What sets me apart is my focus on structured, attentive care. I don’t just “walk dogs”—I pay attention to their behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being to make sure they feel safe, exercised, and balanced. I’m experienced with leash manners, basic training reinforcement, and handling strong or reactive dogs. I’m also comfortable supporting weight management plans, medication routines, and special care needs. You’ll always receive reliable communication, photo updates, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in capable hands. I treat every dog like my own and take pride in being someone pet parents can truly depend on. Currently helping dogs improve their health, behavior, and daily routine through consistent, structured walks. Pet care is a consistent and structured part of my daily routine, not something I squeeze in. I intentionally schedule my days around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they receive reliable, on-time service. I maintain a manageable client schedule so each pet gets my full attention, whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or extended care. This allows me to stay punctual, attentive, and flexible when needed. My goal is to provide dependable care that pet parents can count on, with clear communication and consistency every visit year round. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes consistent feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions provided. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being, adjusting my approach as needed—whether that’s structured exercise for high-energy dogs or a calm, patient presence for more sensitive pets. Cleanliness and respect for your home are extremely important to me. I keep feeding areas tidy, refresh water, and ensure litter boxes or outdoor areas are properly maintained. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide a seamless, trustworthy experience where your pet feels safe and you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I approach pet care with structure, attention to detail, and genuine respect for both the pet and the home.
“Arianna is an excellent pet sitter! She took great care of my two cats. Every visit, she took several pictures of her sitting with and petting the cats, and they very clearly liked her. Thank you Arianna!”

“I can’t recommend Maddy enough! She took amazing care of my cat, Jinx, while I was away. Maddy was incredibly thoughtful, responsible, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated with photos and little notes about how Jinx was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I got home, Jinx was happy and relaxed. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust someone who genuinely cares. If you’re looking for someone to treat your pets like family, Maddy’s the one!”

“Liz was great, as usual! She has watched our cats several times and is always very professional. Our cats have come to be very relaxed when she is around and even our big boy, Tucker, is ok with her cleaning his ears and giving him his thyroid meds 😺. Highly recommended her if you are looking for someone to watch your cats.”

About: Hello, My name is Maria! I will be going into my senior year of college, after I graduate I hope to continue my studies to become a veterinarian. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, play, and feed their pets while they were away on vacation or at work. Currently I am working at a local animal shelter where I have gained experience handling nervous and reactive dogs, as well as seniors and puppies. I have also been trained to administer medication. I love all dogs and will treat them as my own! During the school year I will only be available during certain hours so please send me a message to discuss what days/times you will be in need of my help! I will be respectful of your home and be inside only during the time of my services. I will leave everything as I found it.
“Allison was very friendly and communication was great, making for a very seamless experience. We have 3 cats, one of which is diabetic and requires insulin injections. We were very comfortable with leaving our cats in Allison’s care and will definitely book again!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I am very happy with the service. Mikayla and Alen made me feel at ease. They helped me understand the process and took great care of my dog. I would highly recommend them.”

About: Hi! I’m a 21-year-old caregiver with experience working with special needs students, which has helped me build patience, attentiveness, and strong communication skills—qualities I bring into pet care as well. I also regularly walk and care for a friend’s dog for multiple weeks at a time so I’m very comfortable sticking to routines, handling responsibility, and making sure pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and happy to travel up to about 20 minutes. I also understand that every situation is different, so I’m open to discussing pricing to find something that works for you. I have a flexible schedule during the summer and would love to help with walks or drop-ins! I currently work at a school until 2:30 PM on weekdays, but I am available for pet care, dog walking, and drop-ins in the afternoons after that time as well as on weekends. I’m reliable and consistent with scheduling, and I make sure to communicate clearly and show up on time for every booking. I also have experience owning multiple pets, which has helped me become very comfortable handling different personalities, routines, and needs. During the summer, I will have a fully open and flexible schedule, which allows me to take on more frequent walks, drop-ins, and last-minute requests. I’m flexible and always adjust my care style based on what makes your pet happiest and most at ease. In addition to walks, feeding, and attention, I also handle clean-up tasks such as litter box maintenance, accident clean-up, and keeping your pet’s space tidy so you can come home to a clean and well-cared-for environment.

About: Hello & welcome to my profile! I have been blessed by growing up around animals my entire life! My older brother has had dogs as small as a Poodle/Chihuahua mix (Ari) and as large as a Newfoundland (Armand - which I was able to help leash train)! My brother has relied on me multiple times to take care of them, and I do so lovingly! In Ari’s later years, he trusted me to give him his medication, special diet food, and assist him walk around. Additionally, I grew up around cats for as long as I can remember and currently have two of my very own. Not only cats & dogs, but bunnies, gerbils, and guinea pigs are all animals I have taken care of under my own roof! I know that each pet has their own personality and therefore needs specialized care. I know how much I think about my own when I am away from them, and I would be honored to lovingly take care of them so you don’t have to stress it! I currently work full time M-F, but am consistently done with work by 3:00/4:00 pm. This gives me plenty of time to stop by and care for your animals during the week part time, or full time on the weekends! Within my own home, I make sure to be proactive with making sure my cats have fresh water and food in their bowls at consistent times. I do not currently own any pet supplies for a dog and I live in a one bedroom apartment with limited space. I am happy to house smaller animals when need be and take care of all other pets within their own furever home!
