About: I’m new to Rover but have always loved animals! I’ve helped care for family pets by feeding them, taking them on walks, and giving them attention and love. Even though I don’t have professional experience yet, I’m super responsible, gentle, and quick to learn. I’m calm and patient, and I always pay close attention to your pet’s needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, treat your pet like my own, and keep you updated so you feel at ease. I work a part-time job, but I’m available on weekdays in the mornings and afternoons. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to spend time with your pet—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely and keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I respect your space, stay tidy, and give your pet my full attention while I’m there. Safety is always a priority—whether that means double-checking doors, using leashes properly, or making sure they’re never left unsupervised. I want both you and your pet to feel completely safe and cared for!
About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own that I care for daily. I also care for my friends pets often and am excited to meet your pets and provide them the best care that they deserve. I am available all day on weekends and in the evenings every day. Some week days I am available more often. I am also available for overnights stays. I have a fenced in yard so would be able to have your pets in my home with no concern of them running off or anything like that. If I am caring for your pets in your home I will treat your home like my own, providing the best care.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I have been around animals my entire life, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. My own dog has since passed away, but I helped care for him throughout his later years, which taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and providing extra comfort and support. Because of this experience, I am comfortable giving medications, helping pets stick to their routines, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection. Whether that means going on walks, playing fetch, providing activities, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply spending quality time cuddling and keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Since I am currently a college student and school is out, I have a lot of free time and a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I also work as a babysitter, but Rover is my top priority job. I make sure to schedule my time carefully so that every pet receives the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, or simply spending quality time together, I am committed to providing reliable and attentive care. Because of my flexible availability, I can easily accommodate different routines and help pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have three cats who, despite not paying rent, are very well taken care of! Caring for them is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure they receive their daily feedings, fresh water, interactive playtime, plenty of attention, and daily litter box cleanings to keep their environment clean and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible so their pets feel safe and comfortable. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, administering medications if needed, and providing lots of love and companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel cared for while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide dependable care, maintain a clean environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Olivia was great! She took really good care of our boys, including our senior dachshund. She was communicative and always sent photos when she came to feed them! Definitely going to use Olivia again!”

About: I have loved and cared for my own pets for more than 17 years. I’m in college and without a pet, so I would love to hang out and take walks with every dog ever. I have great time management skills. My weekly schedule is mostly open for the summer. I will never put times that are unavailable for me. I will never take my eyes off of them. Their safety is a main priority. All advice and precautions stated to properly care for a pet with be acknowledged and followed.
“Alannah was a terrific cat sitter - attentive, communicative, and caring to our pets! I appreciated her accommodating a somewhat last minute request and I came home to some happy cats :)”

“Kendra was incredible with our puppy! We just moved here and needed help with him during a particularly busy week. She was so patient with him and gave him some much needed company. We’ll definitely be asking her for help again in the future :)”


“I felt completely at ease with Joanne watching my cat and being in my home. She is a natural with animals, sent updates, responded quickly and went above and beyond. I was able to enjoy a few days away without worry. I would highly recommend!”

“Megan was great with Lennox during drop-ins while I was away from home for a full day. She let him out, sat with him inside and on the back deck, gave him treats and kept him well-fed and happy. Her definitely seemed to have had a joyful day and Megan was reliable, courteous and very responsive with communications before, during and after her visits. I plan to utilize her expertise again soon.”

About: Hello! I have around 9 years of experience taking care of pets including cats, dogs, snakes, goats, rodents, and fish. With both puppy/kitten experience and senior animal experience i am confident in my skills and above all care for animals big and small. I am experienced with specialized diets as both my senior dog and cat have special dietary needs, and I've handled giving medicine via shots, pills, and pastes. I do have some puppy training experience as well as working breed care/handling. My farm animal expertise is limited but I am confident I can learn and apply my current skills towards caring for you pets. I am a full time student and work part time as well, so my days can get a little hectic. Rest assured, my furry friends are always given every moment of my free time! I love caring for animals and being surrounded by them, so I always make a conscious effort to be with them as much as possible. Of course your furry friends will recieve that too! Meals and proper walks and playtime will always be provided, and I will do my best to fit into any routines of yours that your pet may be adapted to so they don't get stressed from the change. I make sure to strictly follow all rules set out by the pet parents, including being tidy and respectful in the area at all times. I always come alone, you can always be assured I have your pets' happiness and safety in mind. I do not currently have space to board any animals. I also don't mind doing house chores as needed especially plant care, yard cleaning, poop scooping, etc. Just let me know!!

About: I have been researching animals and animal care since I was able to read, I was always at the library as a kid! I worked as a dog trainer at PetSmart for two years (worked with the company for three years total!) and have met and worked with a variety of breeds. I volunteered at a dog shelter all throughout highschool as well. I have had many animals of my own and have even fostered orphaned kittens and puppies in the past! Working with animals gives me a purpose I cannot find anywhere else :) I work half remotely so I have plenty of open availability, let me know what works best with you! I'm always willing to make accommodations. When watching your pets at your home I would likely ask many questions regarding you/your pets routine so I can make things as comfortable for your pet as possible! I would never leave the pet unattended unless directed otherwise! I have experience handling large, strong breeds of dogs and have no doubt in my capabilities to keep your pet safe and comfortable.
About: I have learned a lot from our one dog especially over the years. I attended trainings for him to help him and he is thriving today. I have also done dog walking with wag for a year. I may be able to do some services after 4pm during the week. I am available mostly every weekend for services. It all depends on the service needed. I won't be offering services in my own home since our one dog suffers with anxiety. I will follow the rules with whatever the client is saying. I will ensure a safe and loving environment for your babies.
“Freya was very knowledgeable about dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving my pup in her care. During the visit she updated me often and even sent me lots of pictures of my Max playing and having fun. That really helped with my missing him. I will be calling Freya again for Max and would highly recommend her to other pet parents. I'm so glad I found Freya!”

About: I’ve checked in on multiple pets before. Friends and my own family and relatives message me to come in, walk their dog, feed and give them water, and keep them company for a while! I love pets so when I found out I could get paid for it, I was astounded! I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, with tender love and care. I am a working college student at the moment, so I would be working part time. I would make time for my clients though, especially how I often have time in between my classes and I also have time after school during the week and on weekends. While I currently do not offer pets in my home, I will respect your home by keeping it clean and untouched by the time I leave. Now I will keep your pet company if that is the service you’d like and by doing so, we might empty their toys on the ground and play for a bit. That being said, it will be cleaned up and so will messes made by their food or water before I leave the house as well.

Megan was great with Lennox during drop-ins while I was away from home for a full day. She let him out, sat with him inside and on the back deck, gave him treats and kept him well-fed and happy. Her definitely seemed to have had a joyful day and Megan was reliable, courteous and very responsive with communications before, during and after her visits. I plan to utilize her expertise again soon.

Mary is an exceptional pet sitter for my puppy. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly cares about his well-being. She takes the time to engage him in play and keeps him happy and active, which gives me great peace of mind. Mary follows all instructions perfectly and is consistently reliable and communicative. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again!

Veronica provides detailed, prompt updates during each visit & has made this Rover experience so positive! With a genuine care for each animal she sits, Veronica goes above & beyond by spending time bonding with the animals & ensuring they remain on their daily routine. I appreciate all the photos, frequent communication, and willingness to coordinate a meet & greet to get an understanding of the tasks. If you are worried about time away from your fur-babies, Veronica will truly put you at ease with her sincere diligence and care. Thank you, Veronica!! 🤗

Lynn was absolutely amazing. I had an issue with Rover double-charging me for a sitter I didn’t even use, and although it wasn’t her responsibility, Lynn was incredibly accommodating and willing to help in any way she could. She kept me updated with detailed messages twice a day about my pets and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly made this entire experience stress-free, and I’m so grateful for her kindness and professionalism. We need more people like her—10/10, highly recommend!

Summer is great! We love having her as our rover. She goes above and beyond for us every visit. She’s very communicative during visits with pictures and updates. She follows all directions and is very reliable. I feel very at ease leaving our animals in summers care. If you need a sitter, I couldn’t recommend her enough!
