3. Emily H.
About: Your furry and leafy friends are in great hands! I specialize in meticulous care for senior pets and love meeting furry friends of all ages. With hands-on experience tending to an elderly dog as well as my own granny cat, I understand the patience and attention to detail required for their well-being. I’d be thrilled to care for your dog or cat! Bonus: As a plant parent of over 50 indoor plants (it’s a problem), I know how hard it can be to find care for your chlorophyll companions 🌵 if you need your green companions cared for alongside your pets, I’ve got you covered! I work a remote job with flex time based in another time zone, so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to pet care. Having used Rover for my own cat’s care, I know it can be daunting to have a stranger come into your home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities, and I ensure a secure, loving environment while respecting your home. Expect thorough updates and thorough documentation!


4. Rowyn P.

“Rowyn met with me and my two dogs prior to our scheduled walking. She was great with them and showed clear knowledge of dogs and enthusiasm. She was easy to communicate with, as well as accommodating and gracious with last minute changes I made to my booking.”


5. Leslie R.
“Leslie is the best! She is our go-to dog-sitter for our nearly 10-year-old Springer Spaniel. She has taken the time to really get to know Tucker and his idiosyncrasies and provides wonderful care when we are away. In fact, she may even take better care of him than we do! Leslie is very responsible and loving - I highly recommend her (except when we need her)!”


6. Ash T.
“Ash is a joy and was very helpful with training my dog Goldie and routinely takes her on walks. Very professional and kind, highly recommend!”




7. Molly E.

“Molly made a great impression on us and we felt very comfortable with her . Our puppy is a bit skittish but warmed up to Molly pretty quickly.”


8. Rachel S.
“I can't say enough about how wonderful Rachel is as a pet sitter. We’ve trusted her with our dogs for years, and we don’t leave them with just anyone. Our dogs have all adored Rachel and it’s easy to see why—she’s always treated them like family. Whether it’s a quick check-in and playtime or multiple days away, we can trust that they’ll be well taken care of.”


9. Joshua B.

“Joshua is so great with our dog - incredible combination of enthusiasm and attentiveness! Very professional and knowledgeable and a great communicator. Highly recommend!”


10. Erin B.

“Erin did a great job walking Max for us when we had to go away on short notice.”


11. Alexio S.

“Alex came on time, actually had a plan to be sure he wouldn’t be late (our place can be alittle hard to find). I am impressed with his gentle attention with our dogs, AND he used some spot on positive clicker techniques with our gigantic puppy. H highly recommend Alex as a dig walker.”


12. Isabel R.
“I have known Isabel for several years and she has been my "go-to" person when I travel or have other commitments that keep me from feeding, walking and loving my two dogs and one cat. They all adore her! She is incredibly responsible to every detail. When walking my dogs, she is aware of all that is going on around her (to avoid any 'situations'). I trust her with their care. She is amazing!”




13. Julia C.
About: Since growing up in a home with beloved dog, caring for pups has been a major part of my life. I currently have two dogs; Grizzly an 11 year old blind terrier mix and Stevie a 3 year old kind and spirited mix I adopted from Puerto Rico. I have experienced in training, hiking, puppies as well as senior and special needs dogs. I'm currently working on my own venture and have a totally flexible schedule, I'm available all days (Monday through Sunday) including mornings, evenings, and overnights. I have a large yard and my own reliable transportation, having grown up in the Valley I know many great spots for amazing walks and hikes.


14. Elissa D.
“Elissa has been my go-to pet sitter for years, and I couldn’t ask for anyone better! She is incredibly kind, trustworthy, and truly has a way with animals. My dog and cat absolutely adore her, and I always come home to happy, relaxed pets. She’s super reliable, communicates regularly while I’m away, and goes above and beyond to ensure my babies are comfortable and loved. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, Elissa handles everything with care and genuine affection. I’m SO grateful to have her and can’t recommend her enough!”


15. Gav D.
“Gav is a wonderful pet sitter. My cat Goggles needs special care due to digestive problems and Gav did a great job following instructions on how and when to feed her and administer her meds. Gav sent me photos of Goggles and updated me on how she was doing while I was away. Thanks Gav- you’re the best! - From Ren & Goggles”

17. Julia A.
About: I have been dog walking and pet sitting since 2021 and have experience with many different breeds, as well as cats. I will adapt to your pet's energy level and make sure they get all the exercise and/or relaxation that they need! I have a very flexible schedule, and love to spend my free time taking dogs for walks on trails in the surrounding area, or just dropping in to let them outside. I look to provide a space where your pet can get their energy out in a fun and safe way! I believe open communication is important, and this will let me know how I can best show up for your pet.


18. Steph F.
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 13 years old, back then it was mostly drop ins but now I do overnights and walks for dogs or any animal that cant be alone at night! Many friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets and I can't wait to meet yours! I'm currently available pretty much whenever is needed. I have a lot of free time so spending time with your pets won't be a problem! If I am doing drop-ins or an overnight stay I will do everything I can to keep your pet's routine the same as when you are home! Of course, I'd love to take your fur baby on a walk as well!


19. Benjamin A.
“Ben has helped me with my cat and has been wonderful with her. She’s normally shy but he was able to gain her trust quickly. He was very kind and patient with her and took very good care of her”


20. Alex T.
About: I’ve worked with pets all my life. I am especially experienced with dogs. I’ve done a multitude of jobs from bathing, administering medicine, walking, etc. I am a college student that came home for the summer, that’s just looking for some extra money. I have a part time babysitting job right now in the morning, however I am free for the rest of the day. I am very comfortable with pets and good at reading their expressions. I will treat your home and pets like they are my own. I understand how hard it is to trust someone else with them so I will be very responsive to whatever worries you have!
