“Danielle is excellent! Since this was our first time using her services, she came over a few days before to meet my 3 cats and me. She is detail oriented and spent time with each of the cats to get oriented to their space and learn their feeding routine. She is very responsible and spent a lot of time (more than 30 mins!) to make sure they each got enough attention and pets. I will be using her again and I would highly recommend her!”
“Cristina is amazing! She’s got great availability and is so awesome with our kitties. She always makes sure to play with them and noticed when things are off, like a possible medical issue or piece of trash they might chew on. I highly recommend her - I always know my cats are in good hands!”
“Esther provides excellent service and communication during and even after visits. She goes above and beyond and considers her client's needs. She follows directions well and I can trust my dog is in great hands with she drops in while I'm at work. I always look forward to her updates while she's with my pup!”
“Brittany was wonderful! We needed someone on shorter notice and she was super flexible and accommodating for both our doggos. They seemed very happy and well taken care of. Thank you, Brittany!!”
About: Hey local pet owner. My name is Jamal and I’m here to make sure pet have the best and safest times with me even if it’s from a 30 min walk or a week stay a my home or pets home. My prices is always negotiable. I’m am currently walking 2 groups of dogs weekly Monday -Thursday. Looking to walk at least 3 more groups. So I have a full schedule. I jog n walk dogs 30-60mins per walk so they get a good exercise n stretching. If you want to keep you puppy healthy hit me up I’m your guy 🥰 Well I like to stay active and run around for my personal health reasons and doing with a fur baby just make it that much better. I got separate cages for the dogs I watch in my house if needed with plenty of toys and friendly faces with long walks on the canal
About: I’ve been around and taken care of animals my whole life - I currently have five of my own pets (FOUR guinea pigs and one horse) - I grew up with dogs and have handled every shape, size, and age imaginable - whatever your pet needs, I got it! Tuesday-Friday are very flexible for me and I will always try to make things work out! While I have my own personal routines there is more than enough time to walk some pups! I am always respectful of the spaces people keep and whoever uses those spaces - my number one priority is for the animal and their family to be comfortable
“Yin was awesome! She came on time, fed my puppy, took him outside, cleaned up his messes, and washed his food bowl. She showed care and attention. She went above and beyond what I could have imagined. She communicated effectively and kept me informed. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Lori went above and beyond during her visits to take care of my cat Minnie, it is just so obvious how much she cares about the animals and their comfort. She also provided great communication throughout the visits. Highly recommended.”
“Mariia was wonderful! So kind and our cat adored her! She was very communicative and kept us very updated on our cat as we were away. We will definitely book her again!”
“Noelle was AMAZING. Communication was excellent, her knowledge of cats is great. She looked after my 2 cats for a week. One had some medical needs and she handled them like a pro. In her photos, I could see the cats were snuggling her and happy. What more could a cat mom ask for??”
About: I’ve always been very good with taking care of animals. I’ve house sat and taken in pets of family members for a couple of years now and understand the responsibility of taking care of another member of the family. I work weekdays from 11:30-5 therefore I’m available in the mornings and the evenings. I try to have a healthy balance of social life and work and try to space out my time as much as possible. I have a German Shepard/pit bull mix at home which requires hands on activity, play, and feeding. It’s important that animals not only get the proper to make sure they are living comfortably but also the most amount of love and attention for their own benefit
“Diana was excellent! She cared for cooper as if he was her own. I never had left cooper before and Diana eased my mind and made this a incredibly positive experience”
“Genesis is a very reliable, professional, and trust worthy sitter. It was my first time working with someone I have never met from Rover, and she has proven to be trustworthy. I recommend Genesis!”
About: I have an older dog myself so I understand the importance of following directions especially for medication. But I have 2 dogs and 2 dwarf hamsters and have helped taken care of many other animals. I have off from work Sunday Monday Tuesday, so I’m available most of the time on those days especially Monday and Tuesday. However during the weeks I can do mornings and evenings if you just need someone to check on your pets or walk and feed them in the morning and night. I will follow whatever instructions are left for me. If you have a more playful animal I will be happy to play with them to exercise the both of us, take them to a park to let out some energy and keep a close eye on them. Treat them as one of my own while they are with me.
“5/5 — Another fantastic experience with Yana! Yana once again went above and beyond. She was 100% responsible, sent complete visit summaries, and shared plenty of photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She cared for our dogs as if they were her own—lots of love, attention, and care for every detail. Our girls absolutely adore her! We trust Yana completely and couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

I've structured my work and personal life around providing excellent care. My mornings start early with dog walks before the day gets busy. I work flexible hours so I can accommodate different pickup times and give each dog proper attention throughout the day. Weekends are often my busiest times for overnight stays, which works perfectly since I prefer spending my weekends hanging out with dogs anyway. I've found that caring for pets actually improves my own routine, it keeps me active, gives structure to my days, and provides the kind of unconditional companionship that makes every day better. In My Home Your dog becomes part of my daily routine from the moment they arrive. I start each morning with a good walk and breakfast, then we settle into a comfortable rhythm. I work from home, so your pup gets constant companionship and attention throughout the day. They have access to my living room and kitchen areas, plus a secure backyard for supervised play and bathroom breaks. Evenings include another good walk, dinner, and plenty of couch time if they're cuddlers. I keep detailed notes about their eating, bathroom habits, and any quirks I notice to share with you. In Your Home I treat your space with complete respect while keeping your dog's routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walking routes, and house rules exactly. Your pup gets the same level of attention and care, but in their familiar environment with all their favorite spots and toys. I also take care of basic house tasks like bringing in mail and watering plants if needed.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Katherine was incredibly friendly and responsive, keeping us updated with frequent pictures of our cat, which made our vacation so much more enjoyable and stress-free. She was very accommodating to all our requests, ensuring every detail was taken care of. Most importantly, she made our cat feel so loved and cared for, going above and beyond to keep him happy and comfortable. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Thank you Katherine!!!!”
“Wow! Wow! Wow! I booked Mika at the last moment when I discovered my neighbor could not watch my cat Mikey. Not only did Mika make time to meet me THAT day, but she could cover all my schedule. A member of the Armed Forces, Mika is highly intelligent, empathic, funny and trustworthy...she's got it all. My house was in perfect order when I returned and Mikey was so happy with her, he barely greeted me on my return. So, thanks Mika and thank you Rover.com”

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
