“Great communication! She let me change the schedule twice because of my mistake and I appreciated it so much! She took great care of my dog. Posted pictures and how she did on her walk everyday. Definitely recommend and would use her again!”


“This was my first time using a rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Talia & Andrew went above and beyond with their communication and care for Cowboy! Would absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs whether it’s going on walks or dog sitting. I even have my own dog that I’ve had for 8 years now. I do have a full time job but I have free time for Friday-Sunday even during the week after work. If it’s Monday-Thursday I can do it after 6pm I don’t mind dog sitting at your home if needed. I wouldn’t be able to bring them to my home since I live in an apartment.

“We are super happy and so thankful with Esmeralda, she has been so great withAthena and has gone overboard with extra attention to Athena and our Home. She has even sweep and mop our floors because she noticed a lot of hair from Athena. I will highly recommend Esmeralda to anybody that loves their furry friends. Thank you Esmeralda.”



“Alexee is so GREAT! She took very good care of my cat, and she was giving me nice updates every day with lots of pics. I will definitely contact her again to take care of my kitty!”


About: Hi there! I’ve been a devoted dog mom for 19 years, including caring for a large breed pup for over a decade. I’m deeply attuned to the emotional and physical needs of animals — from energetic young dogs to gentle geriatric pets who need a slower pace and extra love. I’m skilled at reading body language and anticipating what your pet might need before they even ask for it. I believe that every dog and cat deserves care that is calm, responsive, and full of affection. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own — I’m neat, thoughtful, and follow all care instructions closely. I’m also quick to communicate and always happy to send updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Whether we’re snuggling on the couch, going for a walk, or sharing quiet company, your pet’s well-being and emotional comfort are my top priorities. Im available for any of your pet care needs. I do work during the day, but I'm available on an 8-hour schedule during the day and can stay overnight. As a lifelong dog lover, my first priority is always your pup’s safety and well-being. I keep dogs leashed at all times when outdoors and closely follow regular feeding schedules while monitoring for healthy water intake. I believe every dog deserves exercise and stimulation that fits their body, energy level, and comfort. Whether it’s a short walk, backyard play, or quiet companionship, I tailor the experience to meet their individual needs. I always ask about medications, allergies, and health routines up front. I'm also well-versed in foods that are harmful to dogs and never offer people food — only what you've approved. You can trust that your dog will be cared for with attentiveness, consistency, and deep respect for your preferences. Their safety and comfort come first.

“Lizette was PHENOMENAL with our babies and treated them with such care and kindness. I highly suggest her if you’re looking for a loving/responsible person while you are away.”


“Rubi did an amazing job checking in on my dog while I was away for the weekend. She kept me informed and sent plenty of pictures. Will definitely be using her again in the future & would highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: My name is Edwin D Rodriguez I live with my mom and sister, I will would gladly take care of your furry friend, especially on the weekends. I would gladly take care of dogs, size from chihuahua to labrador. Size or breed of dog doesn’t matter when it comes to housesitting or daycare at my residence. I will do all I can to respond as soon as possible. I have been taking care of dogs for my family ever since I was a freshman in high school. We have a decent sized house, but not big for a Saint Bernard to live in, but we do have a big backyard. Possibly the biggest backyard in my entire neighborhood, if a dog is required walking I’ll be right on it. I’m currently going to college full time but I still find time to play, pet and feed the dogs everyday they are at my residence. House sitting is rare but whenever I do make sure the dogs are safe, secure and well fed. Also make sure the client’s house is well taken care of also.

About: I've been raised around pets my entire life. I've helped take of dogs, cats, sugar gliders, fish, iguanas, snakes, rats, and whatever else my dad wanted as a pet growing up.

“She took care of my pups for drop in and last minute booking! Thank you so much Madeline! Will definitely book her again! She’s so good with my puppies despite my very last minute booking. Her communication was open!! & provided me photos. ❤️ definitely recommend!!!”


About: I have always loved animals. Not just pets. I’m vegan and animals mean more to me than anything in this world. I have always been around dogs, cats, raccoons, opossums, cows, you name it. I have three dogs of my own and two cats. I am gentle and sure to take great care of all of my furry friends :) I work online from home, so I have a VERY open schedule. This just interested me because it’s a chance to meet new, sweet fur-babies since I cannot afford to have ten dogs of my own. I have two dogs. However, if needed they can be separated from other dogs. I have a nice sized yard for room to play. I also have a pool for my friends who like swimming!

“Denise took great care of my cat, Willow! I greatly appreciated the videos that she sent, it gave me peace of mind while I was out of town 😊 I would definitely book again!”
