“Dawn was quick to respond to inquiries. She confirmed our meet & greet in advance of the appointment and was prompt in her arrival. She was thorough in her questions regarding care and habits of our pet and won him over within minutes of her arrival. Dawn arrived each day at the agreed meeting time and sent photos and updates of her interactions. She took such good care of our cat, Merlin while we were gone, I think he may have been a bit disappointed when we arrived home instead of Dawn. We will definitely be using Dawn again for future travels.”
“Bella did a wonderful job pet sitting! My cats loved her. She was great with communication to me. I felt like my kitties were in good hands while I was away and I didn’t worry. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover. Through the years, i’ve had cats, large and medium sized dogs, and birds and have spent a lot of time around various farm animals. I just graduated college and am looking for some work to keep me occupied. Currently I work at a dog daycare part time. Currently I have 2 dogs, Penny and Petey. I rescued Penny at 4 months and she had been abused. Caring for her has provided me experience with puppies, administering medications, and reading body language, as she is still quite nervous around new people. I found Petey dumped in the woods at 3 years old and have worked to teach him basic skills like walking on a leash, sitting, etc. Penny is very nervous while Petey loves anyone and everyone. They each have very different skills and needs and I love them both to pieces!! Whether your dog is a little hesitant or looking for someone to snuggle up to, I have experience and would love to make them feel comfortable while you are away ❤️ I am a recent graduate so my schedule is very free to take care of your fur baby when you need me! I am free for routine visits or less frequent visits! I have experience with all types of animals and am willing to follow your instructions to make your pet comfortable while you are gone! I am comfortable walking and playing with dogs of all sizes
About: I have had a dog, or a cat most of my life. Pet door, fenced yard. I have sat for friends dogs, and walked/let our neighbors dogs. Pool in back yard. Work from home daily.

About: Experienced with walks, feedings, house-sitting dogs—both small and large breeds. I'm responsive, I'm comfortable with long stays, and giving dogs the calm, consistent care they need.

About: I've been a professional pet sitter since 2013 and am certified in both dog bathing and pet CPR. I also plan and host dog adventures, offer senior and puppy care, and take pride in creating calm, enriching experiences for every pet I serve.

I can offer early morning outings, midday relief, and after-work drop-ins or full-day care for days when you need a "me day"! I treat your pet and home with equal respect. I notice details: lights, packages, routines. Pets thrive on familiarity, so I maintain their regular walk, feeding, and medication schedules. For in-home care, dogs are crated separately from my own cat and dog, ensuring everyone's safety and a quiet/calm atmosphere. I'm happy to tailor exercise to your dog's needs, from a quiet walk to a beach adventure or a jog around the neighborhood. I'm also willing to escort your dog to his favorite dog park, if allowed.

“Karine was such a savior coming in at the last minute to help with my pets! They seemed to really like her right from the start (when they’re usually hesitant with new faces). She sent cute photos and updates along the way, and she responded to messages quickly. I would definitely use her again!”

Heather C.
“Heather is kind, patient, loves animals, and understands the way they think and act. She has watched my senior dogs, one of which is a bully breed, and the other had special needs, and my fish and aquatic snail, multiple times when I was out of town. She is the number one person I trust with my pets when I cannot be there to care for them; I am at ease knowing that they are in her care. Heather is also a very honest, trustworthy, responsible, compassionate, intelligent person. Anyone would be blessed to have her as a pet caregiver.”

caitie s.
“Caitie has a tabby cat named Ruby who came into Caitie's life when she was 9 years old. At this early age, Caitie has learned the importance of cleaning Ruby's litter daily and feeding Ruby as a kitten. Now that Ruby is an older, mature cat, Caitie knows that Ruby only needs to have wet food 2x daily and a small amount of dry food to nibble on throughout the day. Although Caitie does not have a dog, Caitie has a love for dogs in addition to cats. After Caitie graduates from college and eventually has her own apartment, Caitie would like to own a smaller dog, she is thinking about a toy poodle. Every time Caitie visits her friends in Upstate NY, Caitie walks her friend's dog, Lily, who is an active black labrador. Caitie plays fetch with Lily on the open greens with Lily's favorite ball and catcher ensemble. I highly recommend Caitie to work for Rover as a pet care giver for both cats and dogs. Whether you have a cat or dog that needs care, Caitie will treat your pet with love and care, according to your detailed instructions.”

Laura T.
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about our incredible dog sitter of over two years, Laura! From the moment we met her, it was clear that caring for animals isn’t just a job for her—it’s a true passion. She puts her whole heart into every moment she spends with your pet, turning what could be a stressful time away into a true vacation for your dog, too! Whenever we are out of town, our pup goes on more adventures than we do—beach romps, scenic hikes, and even special treats like pup cups. Every day, she sends thoughtful updates and the most heart-melting photos that show just how happy and relaxed our dog is in her care. It means the world to know he is not just safe, but truly thriving and having the time of his life. My dog absolutely adores her and trusts her completely—and so do I. It gives me such peace of mind to know he is in such loving, attentive hands. If you're looking for someone who treats your pet like family and goes above and beyond to ensure they’re loved, exercised, and pampered while you’re away, look no further. She's simply the best! 🐶❤️”

Anna G.
“Anna did a great job looking after my 4 year old golden retriever. I often go on business trips and used to stress a lot over how well my dog is cared for while I’m traveling abroad. It is hard to find someone that you know will follow your specific instructions, and I didn’t find anybody that did so until I came across Anna. She made sure Enzo took his medications on the exact day and gave him the necessary exercise he needs. She sends me updates and photos every day. I’m glad I found Anna, because I no longer worry and am now confident that my dog is happy and well taken care of!”

Lam L.
“Lam is one of the only people I would truly trust to watch and take care of my precious pup. Not only is she reliable, trustworthy, and will care for your pet as her own, she also has years of experience as a veterinary technician which gives her the knowledge and ability to be the best pet caregiver. I know this first hand - I had one scary choking experience with my dog Winnie and Lam was able to stay calm and save my pup. I am not sure what I would have done without her there. If you want someone who really loves animals and has the experience to keep them safe and properly cared for, Lam is the best fit for you!”
