About: Having pets for over 25 years, and having done a lot of pet sitting for others, has taught me what unconditional love is. I am committed to understanding what each individual pet needs and wants and I tailor my attention to every pet accordingly. Long walks for dogs ✅ shorter walks ✅ playtime ✅ lots of cuddles ✅ no cuddles, no problem ✅ I am here to care for animals the way they like, as it is all about them. I always walk the dogs at their pace and they can stop and sniff as much as they want ❤️ Working for myself, and two days part-time outside my home, offers ample time to care for your pet, whether in your home or mine. I have a big yard for your puppers to play and take long walks everyday...I would love to have your dog along on my neighborhood treks. I also like to load them up in the truck and drive to new, unexplored parts of town...new sights and sounds and smells to keep our awareness sharp.
“Brittany was amazing!! She took amazing care of my fur babies the entire time, my flight home got delayed and she still got up and took care of them. I wouldn’t trust anybody with my. babies more than her!!!”
“This was our first time using Kimberly to let our dog, Abby, out three times a day while we were out of town for the weekend, and we were beyond impressed. Her updates were incredibly thorough—she shared what they did together, how much Abby ate, and even how the house secured. She also sent plenty of photos, which we truly appreciated. When we arrived home, Abby was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious that Kimberly genuinely loves dogs. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her services.”
About: My work allows me to work from home and I also leave the house to meet with clients out in my community (as a Real Estate Advisor) which allows me the flexibility to care for pets through the day. We are up at 5am and generally go to bed around 10pm. I am currently working part time and from home so that leaves any plenty of time to care for your dogs and someone is home around the clock. We have a quiet home but are always busy so your dog will stay motivated and keep active. Someone is always home so your dog will be well cared for. They won’t even know you’re gone! SAFETY, TRUST & ENVIRONMENT: I offer both EXCLUSIVE boarding starting at $60/night and MULTI-family boarding starting at $35/night - your choice depending on your dogs comfort level with other dogs. If you choose EXCLUSIVE Boarding or Daycare, your dog/dogs will the only dogs in my home when they stay. We have a nice large fenced in backyard. And we NEVER LEAVE YOUR DOGS OUTSIDE ALONE OR UNATTENDED. If your dog is accustomed to going to kennels or doggy day care then I also offer a reduced rate for MULTI-FAMILY BOARDING in which your dog(s) could be with dogs from other homes, depending on your dogs’ temperament and disposition. I DO NOT MIX AGGRESSIVE DOGS TOGETHER. I know my regular clients very well and understand which dogs may or may not be a good fit for each other. If your dog likes being crated at night or when we leave the house , I do have crates. Just let us know your preference and if your dog has any anxiety or fears. Tell us how you like your dog cared for and we will make accommodations accordingly! We live in a neighborhood with sidewalks so we can also take your dog for a stroll or an active walk (weather permitting). In the middle of summertime we are very careful so as not to overheat your pup! We also have a digital thermostat and solar so our air conditioning in the hot summertime is monitored and we love keeping the house cool for us and the pups!
“Dylan went above and beyond to get to our house to take good care of our sweet rabbit for 9 days during a huge winter storm. He shoveled and had to walk in from the road due to all the snow and he kept us up to date daily.”
“Devin was awesome! He was recommended by a friend and did such a wonderful job with our two dogs while we were away. He provides detailed updates at every visit and lots of photos which we really appreciated. Thank you, Devin!”
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life as well as been pet sitting 5 years. I have even helped with newborn litters (cutest little things) I can’t wait to play with your pet and make them feel like my own :) I work from home so I’ll have the time to dedicate to your fur baby! We can play and walk and relax. Build fun schedules! I have a fenced in yard to play in. I also am happy to housesit in your home. I will be sure to keep an eye on them at all times.
“Anne did so good for the first time staying with Cooper. She interacted with him and was very pleased with her handling & caring of our baby. We hope she will stay with Cooper again.”
About: Hi! I’m currently finishing my certification with CATCH Canine Trainers Academy (positive reinforcement), and I am a soon to be working closely with an experienced trainer. I am good at reading dog body language and helping dogs feel safe and relaxed in my home. As a semi-retired teacher, I’m home throughout the day and structure my time around walks, enrichment, play, and rest, so visiting dogs naturally become part of a predictable, low-stress routine. As a semi-retired teacher, I structure my day around walks, playtime, enrichment, and quiet rest periods, so visiting or boarding dogs easily fold into that routine. I’m home throughout the day, which helps me give lots of attention and keep a calm, predictable environment. My home fully fenced with plenty of sectioned off spaces including a small pool for any dog who loves a little structured swim time - calling all Goldens and Labs!! 🤿💦🐟🏊 For dogs who enjoy activity, I offer: *Supervised yard play and enrichment *Optional splash/play time in the pool (weather permitting & always supervised) Snuffle mats, puzzle games, and structured downtime.
“Heather visited with Ruby before and were friends from the beginning. She was on time at the agreed hours and took care of Ruby with no issues. I found her to be friendly, reliable and pampering towards Ruby. I would not hesitate to have her take care of Ruby anytime. Thanks Heather, till next time!”
“Marlene was a Christmas gift to us ❤️ Marlene’s care for Kiki was extremely important so I could enjoy my vacation with family knowing Kiki was in good hands. Marlene fixed the wooden cat litters door which was broken for months! ? Thank You for the sweet Christmas card from your loving pets - lovely. I will surely look for her care in the future. Thank you so much Marlene ❤️”
“Andrea is a gem! I’m so happy I found her and met with her to potentially visit our frenchies. She was so organized and took notes and kept in consistent contact with me. Very punctual and appears to really love dogs. One Frenchie is alpha and very protective and it seemed that she was able to interact and take her potty on a leash and stroll her and play with her afterwards in our condo with no problems. Lucy, the Frenchie, got a great report card from Andrea. I think Andrea will come back. We are only part-time residents in Madeira Beach but I will definitely reach out to book her again. Makes my life so much easier. Thank you Andrea for being a dog lover and doing this service. 🥰”
“Alison was timely, responsive, and took great care when checking on my dog and cat for the first time, taking time to play with my pup while checking in. She will be house sitting for us as well, and I will definitely use her in the future!”
About: We currently have 4 babies of our own ( our latest we rescued on Dec 19) and have had at least 1 dog my entire life! Animals are the most special babies in the world. If I could save every animal I would. I promise to love your baby and care for it like I do my own! ❤️ I’m available Mon-Friday 9am-8:30pm and Saturdays & Sunday’s from 8-12pm. Please feel free to reach out if you are needing hours I don’t offer and I’ll see what I can do! I promise to love and care for your baby as I do my own four fur babies. I can either walk them or play with them outside if you have a fenced in yard. You tell me what you are needing and I can provide.
“Emma is amazing! I have 3 dogs that can be a handful alone but are even more so when they work as a team. She saved our holiday trip by being able to take the dogs on short notice and absolutely crushed it after our normal sitter had to cancel. I don’t advertise often but in this case Emma is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
“Anika was stellar with my 2 cats and dog while we were gone for the day. She sent lots of pictures and let me know how they did. 5 stars from my crew and would absolutely book with her again.”
South Pasadena pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had an unusual pet sitting request with a stray cat we are transitioning into a domesticated indoor cat. Amanda was incredibly patient with the process and was able to successfully provide some excellent care and what appeared to be some very needy cuddles to our new member of the family, courtesy of the cat distribution system. She communicated well and provided adequate and occasionally entertaining photos. I would highly recommend Amanda for any pet care. She was absolutely terrific!
Marlene is wonderful with my boys! This is the 4th time we have used her services. One cat needs meds 2x a day and she is a pro getting him to take it! She arrives on time and interacts with them as much as they want along with feeding and scooping! Thank you Marlene!
Cassandra was an amazing sitter for our cat. We were nervous since this was the first time our cat was traveling with us and the first time we used Rover but Cassandra did everything she could to make us feel comfortable and spent extra time making sure our cat was cared for and she went above and beyond! I would recommend her and use her again. Five stars. Thank you!
Kim did a great job with Maisy. She spent lots of time in our meet and greet to understand Maisy and her quirks. I found Kim to be very flexible and a great communicator. She provided lots of details around how Maisy did during her drop in. She provided a lot of photos too. She’s very responsible and I would highly recommend her to others.
Heather visited with Ruby before and were friends from the beginning. She was on time at the agreed hours and took care of Ruby with no issues. I found her to be friendly, reliable and pampering towards Ruby. I would not hesitate to have her take care of Ruby anytime. Thanks Heather, till next time!
Hilary is AMAZING! 😍😍 We are anxious cat Moms because we are home with our 3 cats most days. We were looking for someone who is great at communication, loves animals, and someone we vibe with. Hilary met and exceeded those on our first meet up, our cats were instantly comfortable. The first cat sitting visit went so well. Hilary sent pictures upon arriving, more of our kitties during the visit, and a message when she left. We could not be happier with Hilary. Our kitties are excited for their next hang out with her.
Anika is hands down the best Rover sitter my fur kids have ever had. We all will miss her as we are moving out of state. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s responsive, reliable, communicative and writes the best report cards- I feel like I’m really caught up on the animals with her in charge. If you’re looking for a good sitter look no further!
Kylie was beyond amazing! I love to travel but have always been stressed whenever away from my boys & was never able to leave for the length of time I’d like. Kylie made the whole experience so smooth & so easy! Not once did I stress on vacation & they even went above & beyond, asking if they could help groom Jerry! I’m beyond grateful to have her in my life now & will book her instantly whenever traveling. I would recommend her to anyone & everyone! She cares about your pets & your household. I came home to clean dishes, litter & happy kitties! We love Kylie!!
