“Ana was a great sitter. She took care of my two cats and parrot and was super enthusiastic and friendly. She even fed my parrot fresh fruits and vegetables. I'll definitely be using her in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to friends and family since high school. I have a dog, two cats, an 11-year old bunny, and two fish tanks. I will treat your animals as my own, and would love the opportunity to hang out with your pets! I have open availability, so I can walk your dog or drop in on your pets any time of day during the week and on weekends. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog who will be happy to keep your dog company. I have light-up collars I use at night for visibility as well.
“Emily was great with my elderly cat. She has perfect instincts for when to get closer and when to give her space. My cat was happy, healthy, and calm when I got home from vacation. I will use her services again.”
“Jazmin was so amazing!!! Truly incredible person with so much care for my sweet girl! Took her time coming to meet her beforehand and even fed a churu. I felt immediately comfortable with leaving the keys with her knowing she would be taking great care of her! No hesitation to book you again Jazmin and recommend you to everyone. Thank you!!”
About: I’m Lauren—Keeper of Cats, Walker of Dogs, with 25 years of experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. My approach is quiet, steady, and respectful of each pet’s natural rhythm. Cats are my specialty. I’m comfortable with shy, senior, independent, or affectionate cats, and I follow their lead. I’ve handled medication, special diets, and slow‑paced routines with care. For dogs, I focus on gentle, unhurried walks and calm companionship while still providing full dog care—walks, feeding, playtime, and routine support. I’m a great fit for friendly, easygoing dogs who enjoy steady energy and consistent routines. Services include: • Cat visits, meds, litter care • Dog walks & drop‑ins • Overnights for cats or mellow dogs • Fish feeding • Thoughtful updates + photos If your pets prefer a peaceful presence and steady hands, I’d love to care for them. I work full‑time from home in an emotionally heavy line of work, and caring for animals is the bright, grounding rhythm that keeps me balanced. Stepping away to spend time with your pets—whether it’s a quiet cat visit or a peaceful walk—adds light and calm to my week, and I’m grateful for it. I care for pets by keeping their world steady. In your home, I follow your routines—feeding, litter care, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I move at your pet’s pace, whether that means quiet company or active engagement, all while keeping your space tidy and your pets grounded and comfortable.
“Vahid took excellent care of our furry kids while we were away. He communicated with us regularly, took plenty of pictures, and was very respectful of our home. It was such a relief to come home knowing our boys were well taken care of. We will definitely check with him next time we have a need for someone to check in on our kids. Thank you so much!”
“Erika was fantastic. Not only was she able to fit us in on short notice over the holiday, but she went above and beyond caring for our cats. Really appreciated getting the detailed updates and photos each visit. Would absolutely book again.”
About: I had dogs for my entire childhood and as an adult, I regularly volunteer at our local shelter to take shelter dogs out for the day to help socialize them, give them love, and to just give them a change of scenery. I would be honored to care for your fur baby! I currently work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, so I have very flexible availability those days so I can fit your pup’s needs. I work Tuesday through Thursday from 8am to 4:30pm, but am fully available afterwards. I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of space for your pup to run around if needed. I am happy to board, so long as your pet is comfortable staying in the yard. We have rabbits in the home, so unfortunately we cannot have dogs indoors.
“Very easy to communicate with Dustin! He took some pics of that animals while he visited and reported back once his visit was done. Very nice to have someone to count on in a pinch!!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! Even tho I am new to the rover app I’ve been the go to pet sitter for friends and family for about 7 years now . I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I am mostly available Monday / Thursday after 6 pm , and fully available Friday / Sunday for boarding or drop ins , but could most definitely accommodate different times I currently don’t have any puppy’s of my own . I have a fenced yard for your puppy to play and explore and I also live blocks away from 2 separate parks where we could go on walks
“Natalie was great! She was friendly and came to meet my two cats in advance. She made sure they had their food, scooped the litter boxes, and gave one cat the medicine he needed. She stayed and played with them a bit and cleaned up an accident they had on one of our carpets. Natalie was always on time and sent videos and thorough updates. Will definitely book her again for our next trip.”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. I have my own cat, Button, whom I love dearly and have taken care of pets for my friends lately. I am in between jobs so I am free to work with whatever schedule you have. If you have leftover food that needs to be used, I’d be happy to not let them go to waste. I prefer to care for your pets in their home territory. I am very easy going and happy to follow any instructions you have for me.
About: I've been a pet owner and animal lover my whole life! I grew up with both cats and dogs, and have experience volunteering in animal shelters and watching friends' pets. I currently own both a dog and cat, and am happy to take care of both. I understand that pets are family and I'll treat them like my very own. My current job gives me very flexible work hours, and I can easily accommodate last-minute requests. I will provide a calm, reliable, caring experience for your pets. My current job provides me with a very flexible schedule during summer months. I can work most hours of the day (mornings, afternoons, evenings) and am more than happy to book any last-minute requests for sitting or walks. I have a car so I can easily drive to clients' homes for walks, check-ins or overnight stays. I have experience running my own small business, and I understand the importance of organization, communication and reliability with my clients. I love animals and getting to know them, and I will take care of your animals as if they're my own.
“Emily was very accommodating in my date change requests, she also helped right my yard after the hurricane blew through. Nefi enjoyed her play and being spoiled too! Recommended!”

Hilda was great! She was very responsive and very punctual with our check ins. My cats felt very comfortable and safe with her, and she shared great pictures and updates of the care she took of them. I will absolutely reach out to her again whenever I’m out of town!
1000/10 Ana went above and beyond. She was very detailed daily with the house visits and it was truly such a pleasure to have her watch my babies! She even helped with my rats/bearded dragons & i am sooo grateful. She cleaned litter boxes, water plants & brought in my mail which is so kind because I didn’t even ask her too 🥹❤️🔥. I’m not even home yet & I can already tell from the pics they loved her. Defiantly a huge comfort knowing I can trust her & will be rebooking asap!!
Emily was an awesome cat sitter for our two week vacation! She was a great communicator, quick to respond, and always kept us updated with lots of photos and videos. It’s always hard leaving our cats for that long, but Emily gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were cared for, loved, and getting plenty of attention while we were away. We’re so grateful we found her. 10/10 would recommend, and we will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
Jazmin was so amazing!!! Truly incredible person with so much care for my sweet girl! Took her time coming to meet her beforehand and even fed a churu. I felt immediately comfortable with leaving the keys with her knowing she would be taking great care of her! No hesitation to book you again Jazmin and recommend you to everyone. Thank you!!
Andee was a total lifesaver this weekend. We got stuck in Chicago for an extra day due to flight delays and she was willing to do a few extra check ins with our pup last minute. It was so relieving to know that she was taken care of while we got our travel sorted.
This was my first time using Rover and so far Alice has been amazing! I was very nervous to invite someone into mine and my pup Kylo’s home that we didn’t already have an established relationship with, but Alice made us feel so comfortable. She answered ALL of my questions, addressed my concerns, and was courteous enough to come for a meet and greet prior to drop in visits. We had our first drop in visit and Kylo seemed to be at ease with her and looked so happy in his pictures! I am planning to book again for multiple services. Thank you Alice!
Mia was amazing with my dog this past week over Thanksgiving. She gave very specific updates and was always on time. She also followed all the little instructions in order to keep my dogs routine the same while being gone. I would strongly recommend her to anyone!
