“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”
“A huge lifesaver. They were able to feed and visit with my gfs dog and give me peace of mind for the morning. They were very communicative and sent a great photo of him.”
“April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.”

About: I have had animals in my house all my life and have always loved taking care of them! I grew up with cats and when we finally got our first dog we were inseparable. I went off to college and got my own animals to take care of for a couple years but I recently moved across the country with my husband and we had to leave our little friends behind with our families. My late childhood dog had gotten older as I was going off to college and lost her hearing and sight, so I'm well prepared to take care of animals that need a little extra attention! I'm hoping to help people in the area out with their little family members! I love to walk dogs, play with cats, and just hangout with all types of animals. Im currently working from home and doing some online schooling. This allows me to be super flexibly for a job with Rover. I can tend to your pets needs 24/7. Because of my situation, your pet will almost never be left alone and will be well taken care of and loved! I do not have any pets of my own currently and will only be taking one family at a time. I have a huge yard outside my apartment unit and a fenced in dog park that is not too far of a walk away as well!
“Excellent!!! Mikayla did such an amazing job caring for our big boy Luke. She was on time and extremely professional. She sent us a detailed Rover card and great pictures. We’ll book her again next week and beyond!”
“Yan is an amazing cat sitter! I was really worried my about leaving my cat for two weeks but Yan kept me updated and made sure my baby was well cared for and had enough playtime! It was great to see the photos and read the personal updates for each visit. 10/10 Recommend booking with Yan!!!”
About: Hi my name is Rachelle! I’ve walked and watched most dogs since I was seventeen my love for dogs and animals are my passion. I’ve had animals such as goats, dogs, ducks you name it since I was little! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I have a year and a half German shepherd who has very high energy so we spend most of our time in the yard playing fetch and going on walks My German shepherd requires a lot of walks and running through out the day it makes for a very fun day especially to see her so happy! I make sure everything is ok while I am walking them, make sure I have plenty of water with me and it’s not too hot for them
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of all dogs from breeding to just having pets. I have lots of knowledge when it comes to medical issues with dogs due to my experience with breeding and owning older animals. I work remotely so your animal will have someone home with them all hours of the day! I can take dogs for walks and to the dog park. They will also be able to play with my animals. I will take care of your animals as if they are my own. I love taking care of them and going for walks. They will have plenty of play time and walks.
About: I have had at least one dog my entire life, so over 20 years. I have experience with puppies who were just born, all the way to a pup who is 17 years old - almost as old as me! I have owned multiple dogs at a time, trained my own puppies, and have even had farm animals (cows, pigs, goats, chickens, you name it!) My family and friends have relied on me to care for their pups for years, and I have experience with over 20 breeds including (Shih Tzus, Yorkshire Terriers, Chihuahuas, English Bulldogs, Great Pyrenees, German Shepherds, Mountain Curs, Golden Doodles, Golden Retrievers, Doberman Pinchers, and many more!) I am a 23 year old newly married, dog loving girl! I have a 5 year old English bulldog of my own and her and I are the best buddies! I can assure you, your pup will be just as loved as if it was my own. I absolutely love walking dogs and taking them to the dog park (two of my faves) or simply just playing in the yard. Prior to taking care of your pup, I love for them to get familiar with me, so I will take the on a walk or play with them first. I do not offer overnight services in my personal home, but will visit your home so that your sweet pup (or cat!) feels safe and very familiar with its surroundings. I have found that relocating your pup to a place they have never been can make them very nervous, therefore I simply visit your home where your pup is at the times that you typically feed/water, and take out your pup on a normal basis!

We have experience traveling around the U.S. as pet sitters, Megs currently works at SPCA Florida (an animal welfare nonprofit), and we have five incredible rescue cats of our own. We have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. We also are comfortable caring for cats with a variety of needs and set-ups. We truly just love animals and want the best for each and every one! Megs currently works part-time and LJ has a flexible work-from-home job, which leaves us plenty of room for snuggles and walks and any other kind of pet care! We prioritize the health and well-being of our own cats at home, ensuring they have an enriching environment, high-quality food, a consistent schedule, plenty of attention, and as much play and exercise as they could want. We would love being a part of doing the same for your pets whether that's through drop-in visits or walks!

About: I completed a four year veterinary program in high school on top of being a lifetime animal lover who tries to gain as much general animal information as possible. With this I have basic skills and knowledge on how to handle dogs professionally. At college, I am my dog’s full time caretaker as well as taking care of three dogs total at home. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I plan on working part time for the summer, but whenever I am not working I am available! My weekly schedule cannot be known until my job posts when I work but I will be able to communicate specifics. I will comply to and rules and regulations that the owners put in place for their animals. I cannot work out of my own home but am more than willing to pet sit or do drop in at the owners home, where their dog will more likely be at home.

Shelisha F.Star Sitter
“Shelisha is a caring and compassionate person towards people and pets. She has this ability to connect with animals that is truly amazing and endearing. They seem to establish a connection with her almost instantly. I think it has to do with how sensitive towards her and the animal's emotions she is and animals are able to pick up on that. Shelisha has been a great care giver to many pets in the past and will continue to deliver this with a positive frame of mind.”
Kelsey S.
“Kelsey is a wonderful sitter and was a lifesaver this summer! She is great about sending pictures and comments after a visit.”
Jyana T.
“Jyana is a great choice to walk your dogs or just look after them. Her own dog is always beautifully maintained and well behaved, as well as spoiled and healthy. I trust her entirely with my difficult corgi who has reactivity towards dogs and men as well as typical corgi attitude problems. She also does very well with my cat and respects his boundaries but still loves up on him when he wants it. She is very responsible and reliable and has a great response time. She has had experience working at a vet and is studying animals. She is also very respectful and adaptable to any plans and communications.”
Dara G.
“Dara has been taking care of our dog, Arthur, for the past 3 years. She is a wonderful caregiver who has always been dependable and trustworthy. Arthur who is usually uncomfortable and shy around other humans is excited to see Dara when she shows up at our door. I would highly recommend Dara as she has treated our Arthur like her own. She puts our minds at ease when we are away because we know Arthur is in safe and capable hands. If you want the best care and service for your dog (who we literally treat like our children), Dara is the best choice you can make because she will always go above and beyond.”
