“This is the second time that I have booked Jennifer and I absolutely love her! I feel so much better leaving my girls at home knowing she is looking after them. I would strongly recommend her to anybody looking for a sitter.”
“Juliet has lifted weight off our shoulders! She has watched our cats multiple times while we’ve been out of town and has provided them with wonderful care. She is great with communication/ keeping us updated. Our cats never seem stressed when we return home.”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was a babe! Watching everything from chickens, pit bulls, Great Danes, horses. You name it!! I have all the love to give 💕 I work Monday-Thursday 8-5. I’m up at 6 so plenty of time for potty, food, and cuddles! Then after I love going on walks in my neighborhood!! I have a fenced in yard and sun room ✨ I have a large fenced in shaded yard that is mostly private! My neighbors are all friendly and have dogs of their own in fenced yards! Plenty of space for fetch and a neighborhood to go on walks in! If you have a list of specifics you would like to provide me with such as feeding time and walk times I would love that information!
“I can’t say enough great things about Elizabeth! She watched my three dogs over the weekend—including my puppy—and took amazing care of them. She was kind, reliable, and clearly experienced. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My puppy can be a handful, but she was so patient and attentive, and all three of my dogs absolutely loved her. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth and will be booking her again.”


About: I have had cats throughout my 25 years of life. My family got their first dog in 2015; however, my grandparents have had dogs since 2012. I have given dogs and cats baths; as well as clipped their nails. I have dog sat for two family's for about 6 years. While I am not a certified trainer, I have taught my family dog to sit, stay/wait, lay down, touch my hand on command, and even to press buttons! I have open availability Monday through Fridays. On the weekends I run my own business and will have limited availability but will accept offers as they come. On Sundays, I volunteer at a cat rescue in the mornings. I treat all pets with caution, I do not want to make them uncomfortable! I let the animal approach me first. If the animal appears to be uncomfortable but gentle, I will sit on the floor at their level and allow them to smell me first.
About: I worked at a cat cafe for 4 years, and have been working at a small-animal veterinary clinic for the past 2 years. I’ve provided pet sitting many times over the last 6 years, and am currently working towards my master’s degree in animal science and behavior. I’m well-rounded in proper animal husbandry, medication administration— from pills to insulin injections— nutrition, and animal behavior. My goal is to eventually become certified for training, but I do already know basic behavior modification techniques. I’m regularly taking care of animals, from my personal pet to the animals at my veterinary job. I love and treat every animal like they’re my own, yours included! I am very patient when it comes to animals. If your cat is slow to warm up to me, I will give them their space and wait for them to come to me for pets and play. If your dog is wanting to take their time to smell around outside, I will give them that sensory enrichment. I am an advocate for animal welfare, so I will ensure your pet is as happy as possible while you’re gone!
“Lexi has been doing a fantastic job at dropping in during the day to check on my puppy. Winnie just adores having her visit- i can tell! Highly recommend Lexi for anything you need. She’s been great and i plan to keep booking her!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, and when I started living on my own I realized they’re more important than I ever realized. I have a rescue pup who is very nervous but sweet. I am a graduate student in the home stretch of my degree, and I can use the money and the reason to get out of the house. I have a fenced in yard and a crate trained dog. I’m always good about on time flea/tick/heartworm and yearly vaccinations, as well as being educated in dog distress signs and illness signs.
About: I've primarily cared for dogs, including puppies and seniors, but I also have experience with cats, and small rodents. My dog is 17 years old, so I am very familiar with working with senior animals. I love all animals, and I will take great care of your pet! I'm a student looking for some work over the summer. I can do walks and pet sitting every day of the week, with a day's notice for walks and a week's notice for pet sitting. To ensure the safety of the pets I am caring for, I make sure to follow all of the instructions left by the pet's parent. When out on walks, I stay very aware of both the pet's behavior and our environment to make sure that our walks are safe.
“Amanda was absolutely amazing! I can wholeheartedly trust her to take care of my cat. I will definitely be booking with Amanda in the future. If you are considering booking Amanda, I would 100% recommend it, she’s amazing. My cat fell in love with her, the routine was spot on, and lots of pictures which I appreciated”

About: Having been around a variety of animals for my entire life I appreciate the joy and place they hold in their family’s lives. My own soul dog (Sheltie named Finn) passed away in 2025 and he is dearly missed. Though he is gone, my love of animals has never changed. These days I paint animal portraits for shelter donations, care for the pets of family/friends, and now I serve to help those seeking an aid for their furry family member. Every family deserves to know their animal(s) are being cared for with the utmost respect. That is the level of responsibility I take when I will accompany your pet on a walk or to check on them during the day. There is also plenty of room for play and affection! They are your family and deserve to be treated as such. I am currently working part-time weekdays until 2 pm. After work, I am available to assist in the care of animals by walking or checking on their welfare. The first thing I do when arriving is ensure that all animals within the home are well by observing them. Once that is assured, I take the time to let them adjust to my presence by allowing them to meet me on their terms. Afterwards, I ensure water bowls are changed or topped off, litter boxes are emptied if needed, and prepare any dogs for their walks.

“Marilyn was awesome! This was my first time using Rover, and we were out of town for several days. Marilyn made the whole thing so easy and even picked up an extra visit at the last minute, allowing us to extend our trip another day. She sent photos and kept us in the loop. I'll book with her any time we're away!”


About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important reliable and trustworthy pet care is for our fur babies. I have a corgi and 2 cats that I love dearly. I also have had experience providing care and bonding with pets for other families. To me, caring for animals is highly rewarding and overall enjoyable! I am also currently in college for Elementary Education and plan to be a teacher one day. I am currently in college for elementary education and am currently an instructional aide during the school year. During the summer, I enjoy providing care for pets and helping families with their needs. For summer, my schedule is mostly open, which allows me to fit better into client’s schedules. When providing care in a client’s home, I make sure to fully understand what is expected of me in caring for their pets. I will follow the schedules and tasks ready for me, ensuring the pet gets all of the proper care. Respecting the clients home is very important to me, along side being a caring and trusted pet sitter!
Smith Valley cat parents share their Rover experiences
Julia is very friendly and professional. She will also give the effort for the more challenging tasks. In my case, she was able to get my cat to take his pill medicine which can be difficult at times. Further, she follows directions well without the need to repeat. Was great to work with her.
Jennifer took great care of my cat Leo by doing dropnin visits everyday for 10 days. In terms of communication, she sent a report card everyday sending me pictures of my cat along with any update on low food, water or litter. She responded to my texts or updates whenever needed promptly. In terms of reliability, she arrived at the prescribed time. She kept me updated if she was going to be a few minutes late due to weather. In terms of cleanliness, all the items in my house were kept as they were when I left and the cat treats, food were kept in the same spot. No complaints there. Overall, very communicative and friendly towards my cat. My cat who is a bit shy to strangers, soon warmed up to Jennifer within a day. Definitely recommend Jennifer!
