“Autumn eased my mind while I was at work by watching my puppy and attending to her quite often. She did what I asked and my pup was able to have a friend to hangout with all day.”
“Paulina is fantastic!!! She watched our chickens who are high maintenance gals and she took amazing care of them! She was also able to help water our garden which is so much appreciated. She also cared with our cat Frida who very much enjoyed her company! Thanks Paulina!”
“Camille took good care of my two cats and kept up excellent communication even working thru a small snafu with the system. Very professional care - thanks Camille!”
“I met Azure and she is wonderful. I felt so much better being away from my cat with her watching him. She communicated well and gave great updates. She is my first choice for a pet sitter, I’ll definitely be using her services again.”
“Natalie is the best dog walker my pup and I have had on a consistent weekly basis on rover. I work long hours out of town and she has always been able to keep my dog happy on short notice (bad habit on my part). Definitely recommend her.”
“It's been so hot so I can't take my dog with me everywhere I go. Kat kindly accepted my last minute request for a drop-in visit to give my dog a pee break. My shy dog took to Kat right away. Thank you for your help!”
“Katie is an outstanding person to have come visit your furry ones! She was very flexible, understanding, and a great presence for our cat when we were away! Would strongly recommend anyone to trust her to take care of your loved ones! Thanks again, Katie!”
“Super sweet and helpful. Meghan was so patient with my baby, even after a few mishaps. So grateful for her time spent here- 10/10 would recommend as a sitter of any sort!”
“Wouldn’t hesitate to have Maddy watch after my pups anytime, communicates well the times she will be showing up to watch them and fills me in on all activities during her visits!”
“I was extremely skeptical about hiring a sitter for my cats while we were on vacation as I can be very overprotective and hadn’t ever left them with someone who wasn’t a close friend or relative but Flannery completely changed my opinion and I will definitely be hiring her again if the need arises. She was absolutely incredible from the very beginning. She set up a meet and greet with us and immediately put my partner and I at ease with her pet care knowledge and obvious love and compassion for animals. My cats liked her right away and every visit she sent photos and videos of them playing or eating and provided detailed updates on their actions and behavior. It was a great comfort to know the they were so well looked after while we were away. Thank you so much Flannery!!”
About: I have experience in vet med, so I will be able to keep a detail-oriented eye on your pet's health and wellbeing. If it comes to it, I can take your beloved companion to the vet clinic while you're out of town and see to any at-home care they need, no problem. I currently make my income entirely through app-based freelance work, making it easy to interweave schedules. I can check in on your pet, go out and work for 2-3 hours, then come back again. ADHD tendencies serve me well in this situation-- I can focus on a show, a book, or working on my laptop, while still being peripherally aware of what your pet is doing, and taking time to check in and give lots of scritches and belly-rubs. I live in a shared housing situation, so I have plenty of experience leaving an environment that is not my own exactly as I found it.
“Stone was terrific!! The dogs immediately loved her from the first time they met her. We never worried about them in her care. She even took them for walks! She went above and beyond. We will definitely have her back again!”
About: I began volunteering at my city's animal shelter at the age of thirteen, dog walking, and I quickly began taking on more responsibilities at the shelter from there. By the time I was fifteen, I was volunteering in vet services, helping with adoption events, and doing critter care, where I socialized and took care of small animals like rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, and mice. During my time as a volunteer, I began a veterinary assisting program. I spent five days a week providing care to dogs, cats, horses, and rodents while learning proper medical procedures. Within that care, I attentively followed tailored feeding and kenneling instructions meant to keep the animals safe and healthy. Through my time at my tech school, I gained my OSHA 10 healthcare-focused certification, my HIV, Bloodborne Pathogen certification, and I graduated with my veterinary assisting certification. After graduating, I began working at my city's animal shelter as a Student Day Laborer and Veterinary Assistant, as well as pet sitting for people living in and around my city. At the animal shelter, I handled dogs with various behavioral challenges, including nipping, jumping, barking, pulling, lunging, and multiple kinds of reactivity. I maintained a clean and tidy environment by cleaning up many kinds of bodily fluids and parasites to ensure the comfort and health of the animals. During my time there, I fostered several dogs from the euthanasia list to provide them with proper enrichment and training to make them less frustrated and more adoptable. I have experience providing medical care and enrichment to puppies as young as three weeks old and senior dogs. I am a college student, but I am currently on summer break, so I am available every day except for Thursdays and Fridays. I am very flexible with my schedule when it comes to work and am willing to work with people on timing. I am capable of providing medical care and following specific feeding instructions that have been provided to me by the owner. I provide appropriate enrichment and exercise for different age ranges and breeds.
“Anna has taken care of our cats and dog several times now, and is always kind, responsive, and thorough. I can confidently leave my home knowing she is giving our animals the attention and care they need and deserve. Thank you so much!”
“Danielle is the absolute best! She’s reliable, caring, and clearly loves dogs—mine is always so happy after their walks. I have total peace of mind knowing my pup is in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been helping take care of the animals of neighbors and friends since I was about 9. Since starting my pet sitting journey, I have had the opportunity to care for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and other small household critters. I am an education student beginning my student teaching year, so I'm free on afternoons after 3pm on weekdays to care for pets. The latest I would come to walk a dog would be 7:30 pm, and the latest I would come to do a house visit with a cat or dog would be 8:45 pm. Home Visits: Each home visit would last at minimum 1/2 an hour but not exceeding 1.5 hours. When doing a home visit, I would be happy to feed/water your animal, take it to the appropriate outdoor spot to use the restroom, and snuggle with/play with it as it appropriate for its disposition and intelligence. In the case of an indoor cat, I would also be willing to empty a litter box, upon request. Walks: For dog walks, I am happy to take your dog on a walk lasting up to 1 hour and 30 minutes. I will clean up any solid waste they make on the walk using a tiny plastic bag and dispose of it by placing it in a trash can. I would pick your dog up from your house and then deliver them back when we were finished.
“We’re so lucky to have found Milena in our neighborhood! She came in and got our dog out of the crate and play for a while when we are skiing. We also had a meet and greet because she’ll be house sitting for us, and it is clear that our dog adores her and vice versa. Highly recommend 🫶”

Jön O.
“Jön has always been a lover of animals and a responsible caretaker for them. From a young age he took responsibility for training and caring for our family's dog. As an adult, I've trusted him to care for my cats many times, and he has gone above and beyond to feed, groom, and play with them while I'm away. If my cats could type, they would share that they're always thrilled to see him and would recommend his services to any animal in need.”

Chicory B.
“Chicory is a deeply caring and responsible individual who has loved and interacted with pets and animals in a uniquely tender way every time she has been given the opportunity. I have seen her care for a fish- cleaning the tank, feeding it, ext— with the same attention and respect that she cares for the cats she looked after at the humane society, the ducks she’s pet sitted, and with so many other kind of animals. It’s clear every time she is given the responsibility of a life, no matter how small, she will make sure that it is valued and cared for to the very best of her ability.”
