Paige was an amazing sitter for my cat! She played with her during her drop ins and kept constant communication including sending me pics of each visit. I will definitely book with her again next time I go out of town. Thanks again Paige!

Devon did a great job with my doggo! She has great ideas for training that I haven’t thought of and she seems to naturally attuned to what he is thinking and what he needs. My dog is really odd, so this is not an easy feat. I’m really glad that I found Devon and I will definitely seek her help with Tucker long term!

About: I have had my dog for over 6 years now, his name is Max and he is a Caucasian Shepherd/Ovcharka mix. He's a very big boy, I would add my old dog Sammy, he was a Beegle, but I was too young to care for him nor remember him all too well, but I will always remember the love I had and still have for him. I am a primary caregiver for some of my friends and family for their pets as well, I did not want to be compensated, they convinced me to make an account on here. I'm currently working semi full-time, meaning I am marked as a full-time worker, but they are not giving me my full hours so my time shifts from week to week. That is why I would like to be contacted a week in advance so, I can properly manage my schedule from week to week, whether it be house sitting, walking or just hanging out with the little fur dudes and dudettes. I can not provide in-home care as my current living situation can not provide a safe environment. Hopefully this will change soon, but I can provide a safe, clean and loving environment in comfort of your home since going to new places can be stressful depending on the pup or cat.

Elisabeth was so incredible! Cannot recommend her enough. She watched our angelic yet clingy Siberian 1.5yr old cat every day for a week for an hour plus. My partner and I were going out of town for the first time since we adopted him and were extremely anxious about leaving him. A friend of ours had recommended Elisabeth, so we interviewed her and she was the obvious choice! Once we left, she was communicative with how Wally was doing and updated us with photos every day. Upon our return, he was happy to see us but it was clear he wasn’t starved for attention! It made us feel even more at ease that he clearly hadn’t been stressed about our absence at all. In a world out there where trusting your little one to someone else (and having them in your home) can be scary and anxiety-producing, you def want someone like Elisabeth taking care of them. Hire her!

About: With 15 years of experience in pet care, I have provided loving and reliable care for animals of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets requiring extra attention. I have hands-on experience with a variety of breeds, including energetic Huskies and affectionate Pugs, tailoring my care to meet their unique needs. My background also includes working with rescue animals, helping them adjust to new environments with patience and compassion. Whether it’s administering medications, ensuring proper exercise, or simply providing companionship, I am dedicated to keeping pets happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule, allowing me to provide reliable and consistent service. I am available for walks, feedings, and check-ins during the early mornings before 8:30 AM, midday between 12 PM and 3 PM, and in the evenings after 6 PM. This flexibility ensures that pets receive the care they need throughout the day, whether it's a morning potty break, a midday walk, or evening companionship. I’m committed to accommodating each pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I can provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my home. With a spacious backyard for outdoor play, plenty of room inside—including a dedicated spare bedroom for boarding—and a welcoming living room for relaxation, pets have ample space to feel at home. Having previously cared for two dogs in my home, I understand the importance of creating a warm, stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it's overnight stays, extended boarding, or just a place to relax during the day, I ensure every pet receives personalized care, attention, and plenty of playtime.

About: Hi there! My name is Ericka and I have been working in the veterinary field for 8 years now. I also have been house sitting and dog walking for friends, families, neighbors or clients for about 4-5 years. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own, and make sure you as a pet parent feel comfortable and confident leaving them in my care. I love taking pictures and keeping my clients updated about how their fur babies are doing so there is a peace of mind while away or traveling. I also do nail trims, anal gland expressions, administer medications, ear cleaning and dog bathing if needed. I hope to meet with you soon, and learn all about your animals. I currently am looking to work with rover full time and some holidays as well. I am not working anywhere else at the moment so have a lot of free time. I have a fenced yard with plenty of running space for your pet/pets. I also have 2 crates if needed in a private room in the house with beds. I do have 3 other dogs in the house to keep your fur baby company.

Nora was amazing! Prompt communicator, very trustworthy, kind, and has such a great energy for dogs. I have never left my dogs with anyone because I’m so nervous to, but after having Nora watch my pups this week I would trust her a thousand times to watch them again. Definitely go with Nora if you’re looking for an amazing human to watch your dog babies!!!

Jane was an incredible sitter for our kitties who were on their own for the first time. She took the time to come over before our trip so she could meet our cats who are scared around new people. She was very interactive during her visits, sending pictures and keeping us updated. Our shy cat waffle even warmed up to her and came out to see her. Could not recommend Jane enough!

About: With over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I’ve worked with breeds of all sizes and personalities—from Rottweilers, Mastiffs and Pit Bulls to French Bulldogs, Australian Shepherds, English Bulldogs and many others. I have a special passion for working with dogs that others may be hesitant to care for, including large breeds, strong personalities and reactive or misunderstood dogs. As someone who understands the challenges of owning these incredible pets, I provide patient, confident and compassionate care without judgment. To me, pets are family and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m experienced in caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, following detailed care instructions and maintaining consistent feeding and medication schedules. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, aging or simply needs extra attention I’m committed to providing a safe, loving and reliable experience while you’re away. I’m available for 30–60 minute midday drop-in visits on weekdays, as well as after 4:30 PM on weekdays. I’m available all day on weekends. My weekday schedule is somewhat flexible and I’m happy to work with clients to accommodate their pets’ needs whenever possible. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your beloved pet is a big decision. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime and companionship while ensuring your home remains clean, secure and exactly as you left it. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

Sara is the best of the best. She was the first person to ever watch our cats and now we feel very comfortable going on trips and having her watch our babies. Our cats LOVE Sara and they have so much fun when she’s there. Sara goes above and beyond with their care. She knows exactly what they need with their feeding schedules, routines, playtime, and giving them much needed attention and cuddles while we’re gone. Sara has excellent communication skills and responds very quickly. What I love is that she takes so many pictures during each visit and writes a very long and detailed note of how the visit went. I could not recommend her enough and will definitely book with her again!

Elisabeth is amazing! She came to meet my pup, took her time with his shyness, & asked lots of questions. She was early each day and left a detailed Rover card with pictures upon leaving. I felt so much better about leaving my pup at home knowing he was safe in her hands! Getting to see pics of him and a report about how he was doing has been a delight. I definitely recommend her for your pet needs!

Andrew’s great for dropping in visits with Bailey. He comes and takes care of her multiple times a week. He does short walks with her because she’s an older dog and fills her water bowl and plays with her a little bit. She loves when he comes to visit when I need to work late.
