“Ashley was phenomenal. She took care of my cat, Salem, while I was on a cruise for a week and a half. I did not have any access to internet and was not receiving any texts, Ashley helped me to still receive them. She was very helpful in being flexible so that I could still contact her if needed, and she still send me videos and pictures of my cat through an app where I could access them on my cruise without internet. There are so many choices when it comes to who is watching your fur baby, and Ashely is the PERFECT choice. She cared so much, and treated my baby like hers. I will be booking again with Ashley in the future, and I suggest you do the same. She was extremely nice and extremely caring. Thank you so much Ashley for making my trip a little bit easier knowing my cat was in good hands.”
“Absolutely amazing! We couldn’t be more grateful for Cindy and the care she provided for our cat, Crunchy, while we were away! She showed up every day right on schedule and stayed for the full 30 minutes as promised. Crunchy is extremely shy and hid the entire time we were gone, but Cindy went above and beyond to make sure all his needs were met. She even took the time to locate his hiding spot and snapped a picture for us, which really helped ease our minds while we were away. Her kindness, patience, and reliability were so appreciated. We will absolutely be requesting her again in the future.”
“Mason did a fantastic job caring for my cats! It didn’t take long for my more outgoing cat to go in for snuggles, and even my semi feral came out of hiding- this speaks volumes, as she generally avoids people and does not come out during visits. I needed to find a sitter on short notice, and Mason was very flexible in scheduling last minute and maintained great communication from start to finish. It was a huge relief knowing Bagheera and Dinah would be well cared for in my absence. Thank you for keeping them safe and happy!”
“Courtney was great! She took care of Johnny Utah and Marty McFly with exceptional care. Both of my babies were in excellent spirits upon my return. My cats appeared happy in all of the pictures that she took. She communicated with me well and was quick to answer any questions I had. I will definitely request her again if I need a cat sitter.”
“Adrienne really was a lifesaver with an unplanned business trip! She took excellent care of my pets, followed care instructions to at and was very compassionate with my special needs dog”
“Roxanne and her family were incredible cat sitters! They were very attentive, spent a lot of time with and even went above and beyond in caring for our two cats with drop in visits. We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: All my life, people have been amazed at the way animals gravitate to me. For whatever reason, just about every animal I have met falls in love with me. I personally think it's because they can tell how much I love them! I've been an animal lover all my life. Growing up, there were a lot of different animals in the house, but the one constant was DOGS! Over the years, I have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've spent time studying dog behavior, psychology, and training through books and hands-on experience, and I'm always learning more. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a mellow senior, or anything in between, I'm confident in meeting their needs with patience and care. If you're looking for someone who loves your fur babies as much as you, then look no further! I’m currently studying Graphic Design at TMCC, which gives me plenty of time to take care of and play with your pets in between classes and afterwards. Taking care of animals is incredibly rewarding and provides a much-needed break from studying. Your fur babies will get lots of love, attention, and fun when I'm around! I’m very detail-oriented and always make sure to follow your instructions to the T, whether it's feeding schedules, medications, walk times, or any special routines. I'm patient, gentle, and treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable while you're away, so I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and videos to keep you in the loop and put your mind at ease. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority!
“She was great! Very quick to respond to messages and had very good communication over the whole weekend. My cats seemed to take a liking to her very quickly. Would recommend!”
“Ivy took care of my sweet bunny, Christmas week. She was very prompt and took great care. Awesome updates and pictures, I would absolutely use her for my pet care again.”
“Kailey was great with my boys! They love her to pieces and are always excited to see her. (Sorry about Bentley peeing on your shoe... :( He does that when he's excited). She followed up frequently to let me know how they were doing, too, which I really appreciated.”
“Erica took excellent care of our 3 cats, even though only one of them is friendly enough to say hi to strangers. She is friendly, reliable, and communicated with me throughout the week, and I highly recommend her for any of your animal-friend needs!”
“Holly was amazing! She took great care of our dog and cats, kept us updated regularly, and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
About: I have years of personal experience with animals. I also have experience volunteering at the SPCA of Northern Nevada. I am a dedicated worker and care about animals very much. I know the joy they bring and I know how important they are to the people who love them. I prioritize your animals’ happiness and ensure your home remains safe and clean. I work part time (25-35 hours a week) and am in college but I have lots of free time. I do not mind driving back and forth repeatedly to let your animals outside for a little while i am on my breaks. I enjoy giving everything I can to take care of animals. I am currently unable to board animals in my own residence, as I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own, but I treat my client’s home with the same respect that I would give to my own grandma’s house. I am willing to clean around the house and do any chores that are needed, and my prices are flexible so you can be sure your animals are cared for even in tight budget situations.
About: I grew up around many different animals and have a passion for taking care of them, especially cats and dogs. I'm bilingual, speaking Spanish as my primary language, and currently have two cats that are very calm and aren't harmful. Feel free to reach out with any questions. My working schedule is from Monday to Friday from 2pm to 11pm, although I am at work I still have a cousin that lives with me and my boyfriend who manage to take care of them for me while I’m gone. So they will never be not taken care of. I have an area designated for all pets that are brought to me, where the food and water is placed. I will walk the dogs occasionally and feed them according to your instructions.
About: I have many years of experience with dogs and cats. Security and comfort are of the highest importance. I'm high energy and love walking outdoors! I'm working from a laptop in education and so have plenty of free time for pet care. Difficult hours and/or longer term care is also not a problem. Rarely not available! Your directions are always followed to the precisest detail. I always give full attention to the pet; that's key for me. Your pet is treated as concernfully as my own.

Mayra V.
“My sister and I have had so many pets in our lives and she has always been the one to do the responsible duties for them. My sister isn’t a person who sees a dog as just a dog, she believes they are part of what makes most of all people in the world smile and feel cared, which is true. My sister will go out her way to make sure a dog or any pet isn’t in trouble and feels safe. She’s very loving when it comes to animals.”
Bob K.
“Bob is easy to get along with, laid back, and professional. He is wonderful with my dog, Yogi, and my smaller exotic animals as well. He provides a more than competitive rate while also including perks like watering household plants. I would swoop his services up!”
South Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
Malique has watched my pets twice now, and I’ll never book with anyone else! I have 3 frogs and a fish and a cat she did an amazing job caring for. I was so nervous since the frogs needed frozen food and water changes (and my fish is a bit blind). She did absolutely amazing and definitely has a ton of knowledge about all kinds of animals! My kitty really loves her as well. She’s also extremely responsive to texts/ calls and sent pictures while I was out of town. I even had a last minute booking this weekend she made time for! Thank you so much for caring for my babies!
Cindy was so amazing! We planned a meet and greet prior to my booking and my (typically very hesitant) cat Stella came right up to her which was a very good first sign and tell tale to Cindy's calming nature. She was very timely, took the cutest photos of Stella and provided wholesome updates with every visit. :)
I’m so grateful to have met Cameo and allowed her to take care of our precious cat, Kobe. It’s not just me and my wife who like having Cameo take care of Kobe, but we know that Kobe herself adores her. Cameo is a great pet sitter, we are sad that she is moving, but I highly recommend Cameo and trust her fully.
Kaleah (Ayris) was an absolute pleasure as a care giver for my dog Kinzley while I was away. She was communicative and reliable (something I haven't always found) from the start. I could see that both she and Kinz were comfortable with each other from the introduction. She went above and beyond my expectations of caring for my girl and I will definitely use her in the future.
