“I genuinely could not have asked for a better person to watch over my kitty while on vacation. She keeps you updated, sends pictures, whatever you may need to keep you at peace while being away from your pet. Highly highly recommend! I will not use anyone else as long as Erin’s available from here on out!”
“Laura took great care of our boys and was very flexible when our plans changed a few days before our trip. We're so happy to know they had consistent care and companionship while we were away.”
“Jenna did a great job for our cat! This was our first time using Rover. She shared updates and pictures after each visit, and her communication was excellent. Will definitely use Jenna again!”
“Here’s a warm, Rio was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to come over and meet me and my cat before the booking. During each visit, she provided detailed notes that showed how well she cared for my kitty. It was clear she took her time and genuinely cared. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in great hands. I highly recommend Rio and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Heather is a wonderful, loving, pet care taker. I felt comfortable leaving my animals with her and knew they were going to be loved and taken care of. Heather gave frequent and detailed updates. I would use her again and again.”
“Anabeth is awesome and very trustworthy. I hired her for routine drop-in visits with my kitten and she is extremely consistent with her visit timing. She always takes photos to show me how my girl is doing. She is great with my little gal Stormie and is kind and tolerant of Stormie's wild kitten shenanigans. I am a very involved and concerned pet parent, so it is a relief to know that the person taking care of my little fur baby is so consistent, responsible, and kind with her.”
“Kaitlyn is a great communicator, especially concerning issues she encountered while taking care of my two cats. One is very shy with new people and wouldn't come out to eat. Together we figured out a solution that worked. She arrived on time for each visit and managed to not set off our alarm. Always a plus, lol.”
“Our shy kitties loved their visits from Gaby, she made sure they were well loved, fed and taken care of while we were away, which we are so appreciative of! They were in great hands!”
About: Hi! I’m Emily — a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet care pro. I work weekdays from 8–5, but I’m flexible and happy to collaborate on timing that works for you. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekend care, I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. I offer drop-ins, walks, and pet adventure packages with plenty of photo updates so you never miss a tail wag or silly face. You’ll get peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, loved, and having a great time. With 7+ years in pet care (including time at a busy pet hotel) and a current home full of chaos—one dog and four cats—I’ve worked with animals of all ages, temperaments, and needs. From zoomy puppies to shy senior cats, I adjust my approach to help each pet feel seen, safe, and calm. If your pup would benefit from a social walk, my dog Charlie may join — she’s polite, playful, and great at reading other dogs’ vibes. But solo care is always available too! New to Rover, but not new to pets. I’m here to connect with your furry family and make your time away feel a little easier — for both of you. 💬 My messages are always open — reach out anytime! I work full-time during the weekdays but have a flexible schedule after 5 PM for evening walks, check-ins, or cuddles. I also have open availability every other weekend and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits during those times. If your pet needs a consistent routine or you have special scheduling requests, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet! Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. I believe in personalized, intuitive care—every animal is different, and I take the time to learn what works best for your furry friend. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I’ll be highly selective to ensure a good fit for both your pet and my own crew. I require a meet-and-greet in advance, so I can understand your pet’s needs, temperament, and routine—and make the proper adjustments in my home to keep everyone happy and stress-free. If I’m visiting your home, I ask for a pre-meeting with your pup, ideally including a walk and a conversation about your expectations, your pet’s routine, and any special needs. I want to make sure we’re all comfortable and on the same page before you head out. I provide calm, consistent care, always attuned to your pet’s behavior and emotional needs. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, an energetic hike, or just some quiet company, I tailor every visit to make your pet feel safe, loved, and understood.
About: I have a passion for animals and I would like to work closely with them as much as possible. When your pets are under my supervision, you will never have to worry for their care. I will make sure to take them on at least two walks a day and feed them under any diet regiments that you find necessary. I have cared for animals in my past. I am looking to continue on with this line of work.
About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds, I bring a lifetime of dedication, reliability, and deep animal understanding to every visit. What sets me apart is not just my longevity in the field, but the personalized attention and calm, confident care I provide. From energetic puppies needing structure and training, to senior pets requiring patience, medication, and gentle handling—I’ve done it all. I specialize in reading animal behavior, easing anxiety in shy or rescue pets, and creating a safe, loving environment while you’re away. Your pet’s routine, health, and happiness are always my top priority. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, special needs care, or just keeping your pets company, you can count on me to treat them like family—because to me, they are. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding times, medication needs, play sessions, and quiet companionship, ensuring each pet receives the attention and consistency they thrive on. Whether it’s early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening routines, I prioritize each pet’s comfort and well-being as if they were my own. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s woven into my lifestyle, bringing joy, purpose, and a calming rhythm to each day. I have a large fenced in backyard that has ample room to run and play. I also have a Great Dane who loves all animals. In my clients’ homes, I provide personalized, stress-free care that keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or cuddle sessions—ensuring they feel secure and cared for in your absence. I keep things tidy, stick to household rules, and maintain open communication with daily updates and photos. My goal is to create a calm, consistent presence that pets trust and look forward to, so you can travel or work worry-free knowing they’re in capable, loving hands.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel just as loved and comfortable as my own two dogs. I’m very patient, so if your pet is shy or a bit energetic on the leash, that’s no problem—we’ll take things at their pace! I currently work part-time remotely, which gives me plenty of flexibility to help care for your pet! I'm available Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, and I’m happy to adjust those hours if you need care a little earlier or later. I have a strong attention to detail, so you can trust that I’ll carefully follow any instructions you leave to ensure your pet’s routine is kept just the way they like it.
