“Catherine is amazing in her care of my dog and gives me great peace of mind. She is communicative and always lets me know of anything that needs attention. She is conscientious and reliable. I’m so glad I found her!”
“Chantelle is a great pet sitter. She is dependable and kind. My kitties were so happy when I got home, I just knew they felt so safe and loved. Thank you Chantelle!💖”
“Khine is great! This is our first week with her and she's been really helpful with our new dog. You can tell she has experience and she knows how to take care of dogs. All of her check-ins with Luna include a summary and pictures! Highly recommend.”
“Chase was punctual, professional, and my Bobby absolutely fell in love. Bobby got in his potty breaks, a couple of walks, and lots of snuggles. I would definitely utilize Chase again and we look forward to our next drop-in visits!”
“Monica was a wonderful help while I was away. My usually very timid and anxious cat warmed up to her immediately. She made sure he got all his medicine daily, played with him and went above and beyond to clean some cat throw up off my carpet one day. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“We always use Miranda when we go out of town! She is sweet, attentive, and our dogs love her. She is a phenomenal communicator and always makes sure we know our babies are safe. Thank you Miranda and we look forward to using you again soon!!”
“Sherina did an amazing job with my fur babies. I have a disabled dog who needs diapers changed and she was able to assist him. Definitely will be using Sherina again! ❤️”
About: Hi, I’m Kayana! - Certified belly rub specialist 😊 I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities for as long as I can remember. As an animal lover, I treat every pet like part of my own family. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I genuinely love getting getting to know each of your little loved ones. I bring hands-on experience, caring for dogs and other pets with a wide range of needs. I’m extremely comfortable following all detailed care instructions, maintaining consistent routines, and handling medications when needed. You can expect clear communication, timely updates, and dependable care every time. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I’m patient, attentive, and focused on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. Hope to meet you and your pets soon! 🤍 I currently work a full time 8-5 Tuesday-Saturday, however, I do still have flexibility in my work routine. Outside of work, my schedule is very much open to meeting the needs of your fur babies! I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone new. Rest assured, safety, and trust come first in everything I do. I create a calm, safe space where pets can relax. I follow routines carefully, stay alert during walks and visits, and provide a secure and loving environment. I respect your home, communicate, clearly, and make sure you always feel confident that your pet is in great hands.
About: I’ve had a lifelong love of animals, and over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience in many areas of pet care. I’ve house sat, walked dogs of all sizes, and done regular check-ins for meal times and pee breaks. When I’m home, I’m often trusted to care for my mom’s colleagues’ pets—many of whom are doctors with busy schedules—which has taught me to be responsible, reliable, and flexible. Now that I’m away at school, I’m excited to bring that same level of care to your pets. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with cats, my comfort with dogs, and my genuine desire to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved as if they were my own. I’m a student, so whenever I’m not in class, I’m home and available to care for pets. That means I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, check-ins, playtime, and cuddles. My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine and give your pets the attention they deserve. In my townhome, pets have access to a safe, comfortable space with lots of attention and love. My complex has fenced-in play areas perfect for letting dogs run and play, as well as nice trails nearby for daily walks and exercise. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely—whether that’s meal times, walks, play, or just giving them company—so they feel secure and cared for in their own environment.
“Emily was there for me and my bunny when I needed her. I went out of county and was afraid of my bunny going into stasis with no adequate support system for home intervention if necessary and she agreed to be on call if he needed her. It gave me peace of mind to go on my trip. Thank you so much, Emily, you are wonderful!”
“Krista was awesome! Very communicative and flexible through the whole process. We dropped our puppy off with her for several hours. She was caring and did a great job caring for Libby. I recommend her and would use her again!”
About: Worked with animals my entire life, volunteered at animal shelters as a teen and genuinely love being around dogs and cats. Message me anytime day or night if you need help. Willing to work any hours that are need day or night, whenever I'm available. Feel free to call, text, or email me for schedules. Overnight included. I care for my animals the same I would for anyone else's. Willing to care for anyone's place as it was my own as well.
“Skye was wonderful! She responded quickly and was easy to work with. She was very responsive and provided great report cards and photos! She was on time and my dogs loved having her. She also did a few additional things for us without hesitation. Definitely will work with Skye again!”
“Laura is great with Astro! She plays with him during her midday check in and sends excellent information in her updates! We love reading about all the crazy things he did that day. Also she includes the cutest photos! 10/10 we love her!”
About: I grew up with dogs of various sizes.have attended puppy school with my dogs and have the education to help train your pup(s). I work on leash skills, come/fetch, and many others. I always emphasize love for the dog and positive reinforcement. I have a schedule that nicely aligns with helping out with pets. Able to walk, play, check in on them frequently so they're not alone too long :) I love to take dogs for walks through neighborhoods, to parks, and even on hikes! I make sure the area is safe for walking and playing prior to going. I also double check if being on furniture is okay or not, make note of favorite toys, and try to keep the home the way I found it.
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 and one bunny. They are very calm and aren't harmful. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Yes, I do work from 7am to 7pm, but caring for pets is something that truly comes from my heart. My boyfriend is a big part of my life and a wonderful support, and together we make sure every pet is never alone in their routine or affection. I don’t view pet sitting as a job, but as a meaningful responsibility built on trust, patience, and love. Making sure pets feel safe, calm, and cared for is something I naturally prioritize, because their comfort and happiness genuinely matter to me 💛. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I live in an apartment, but it’s a calm, pet-friendly space where pets are free to relax in the bedroom, living room, or wherever they feel happiest. I follow their usual routines and make sure they receive plenty of gentle attention and care so they feel right at home 🐾💞.
South Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
Danika was an absolute life-saver when our cat ended up going to the emergency vet just a few days before my family and I were going on vacation for a whole week after. As he recovered from his vet visit, he required constant care which involved multiple check-ins a day, monitoring how often he drank water, ate his food, and used the litter box. He also needed to be given 3 different medications on different time schedules, 2 of which required being administered with a syringe in his mouth. Danika was able to do all of this and even texted us updates after each visit to let us know how things were going. Her availability on such short notice along with her attention to detail and genuine love and care for our cat gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our vacation without feeling worried the entire time. I would gladly book her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else needing someone to look after their kitties. Huge props to Danika!
Sherina is amazing! I’ve booked her twice now, and after the first time, I knew my puppy was in great hands. He was happy and well cared for, so I had nothing to worry about during my trip. She was always on schedule and even went out of her way to take him on extra walks. She’ll definitely be my first choice going forward. Thank you, Sherina!
Sidney was excellent. She asked very intelligent questions about the meds for it senior cat, the kennel setup, water etc. she was very responsive to our questions before starting, and the cats were back to their usual hijinks with in minutes of us returning home. It was clearly much less stress on our senior cat. A better overall experience than the boarding house we've previously used. I would highly recommend Sidney and will be booking her again for our next trip in a few months.
Lauren was fantastic in taking care of our large dog! She was so communicative with us the entire time we were away and went above and beyond to meet all of our and our dog’s needs. I’ve never felt so at ease being so far away from him on our trip.She made sure he was happy and comfortable and was the friend he needed during our absence. We hope that Lauren can be our boys forever friend anytime we travel😊🩵
Taylor was amazing!! She took time to walk my pups and made sure all their duties and wiggles were taken care of! She took them to their favorite spots and I felt so safe with Taylor’s care! I definitely recommend Taylor and will be using her in the future! Thank you Taylor!!!
