“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”

“Merri was so fantastic to coordinate and communicate with, and I'm sure Yuka loved her visits because he got to go outside! Merri is trustworthy and I appreciate the effort into doing a meet and greet to familiarize herself with Yuka.”

“Tracy has been so chill with my reactive dog Rwby. She understands that although she is not checking on them, the cats may say hi, and she’s been perfectly fine with that. She is timely, kind, and quick to respond to a booking request!”

“Kristen took amazing care of Mr. Scooter! She was very communicative, went out of her way to meet him before the scheduled visit to go over his care, and kept my kitty very happy!! She sent daily updates with pictures and I am very appreciative of her help. Will definitely rebook Kristen if I go out of town again!”

“Vanessa did a great job with Captain. I especially appreciated the update she provided at the end of the stay to let me know how things went. She asked great questions at the start and clearly has a love and appreciation for animals.”

“This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous, but Emma made me feel so much more comfortable while I was out of town! She took great care of my dog every time she came over. She always sent over details of their time together and pictures, even took care of her when she got sick! I will absolutely be booking her again”

“Camryn was an amazing help to our family this summer. She did daily visits with my dog while I was at work, was always there right on time, sent multiple pictures, and made sure my dog had lots of fun and exercise. I’d recommend to anyone looking for help with their furry friend.”

“Molly went above and beyond to help care for my dog. I would book her again in a heartbeat! I could tell my dog was in good and caring hands, and that is priceless!”
About: I've been a dog person for as long as I can remember, with over 13 years of hands-on experience covering walks, cuddles, vet visits, and everything in between. I recently lost my beloved pup to cancer, so I know firsthand what it means to love a dog deeply and care for them through every stage of life. I'm experienced with senior dogs and administering medication, and welcome large breeds . My partner Max is also home to help, so your pup is always in good hands. I only host one household at a time and am committed to giving your dog my full attention. Right now we have a pet-free home and will give your pup gets all of our attention. Your dog will be treated like a member of the family from the moment they arrive. Fri-Mon there is someone home at all times, so potty breaks can be kept to whatever schedule your dog requires. We don't often host midweek, but if we do, Tue-Thu we are able to limit alone time to approximately 4-5 hrs. I have a securely fenced yard for outdoor play and potty breaks, and will be present with you dog as long as they are outside (no leaving them alone despite the fence). Dogs are allowed on the furniture and in the bed. I'll stick to whatever routine works best for your pet, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special needs. I'm experienced with senior dogs and large breeds, and I'm happy to share regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing.
“Sydney took the best care of my cat while I was away! She sent me lots of pictures of my cat and played with him plenty. He can be apprehensive to new people, but he warmed up to her right away because she was so good with him.”

“Our girls were in great shape when we returned home from our outing! I love getting updates and pictures which we received from Patricia. We would highly recommend Patricia!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family fostered and cared for cats, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care and behavior. Professionally, I’ve worked in a dog daycare, pet store, and boarding environment, and have spent the past two years working at an animal shelter. Through these roles, I’ve gained hands on experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and small mammals. I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and have experience working with canines who have behavioral challenges such as stranger danger, reactivity, and resource guarding. I am trained in reading canine body language and adjusting my approach to help pets feel safe and comfortable. Cats are also a particular passion of mine. In addition to caring for social cats, I have experience socializing feral and semi-feral cats and working with shy or nervous kitties who need extra patience and understanding. I am also comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and caring for multi-pet households. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work at an animal shelter Wednesday through Saturday. Because of this, I am primarily available Sundays through Tuesdays for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting services. I may have drop in availability the other days after 7 pm. I do my best to keep my availability up to date and will always communicate clearly about scheduling so you know exactly what to expect. My goal is to keep your pets as comfortable as possible by maintaining their normal routine while you’re away. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, so I tailor my care to each individual animal. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, enrichment activities, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and respectful presence nearby, I am happy to meet them where they are. I prioritize safety, patience, and positive interactions, especially with nervous or shy pets. Communication is extremely important to me. During visits, I provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Super responsive, follows all instructions, does meet and greets, addresses any concerns and tailors care to dog’s needs. Super flexible as well. Thank you for taking care of Doug!”

About: Hey there! Thanks for stopping by. I am a fourth-year medical student rotating in your city and would love to spend some time with your fur baby (& make some spending money)!! 😉 I grew up with both cats and dogs in my house & quickly learned the intricacies of caring for animals. I make it a point to assess their body language and anticipate their needs. I got my dog, Winston, when he was 8 weeks old. He is the first animal I have ever had on my own, and we have grown so much together. We took three behavioral training classes, and I am proud to say that I trained him myself! I am experienced with both puppies/kittens and senior dogs/cats. I feel comfortable administering medication, helping them use the restroom, bottle feeding...you name it! I have a very flexible schedule on my rotation (typically 8- 1 p.m.) and would be more than happy to devote some time for cuddles, exercise, and/or training with your animal while you are away/busy! Tentative Schedule: July > Las Vegas, NV August > Tucson, AZ September > Philadelphia, PA October > Columbus, OH November > Danville, PA & Detroit, MI December > Detroit, MI & Las Vegas, NV January > Loma Linda, CA February-May > Las Vegas, NV Winston and I start our day at approximately 6:00 am with a quick walk and breakfast before I head to work. We have either a play session or a training session mid-day and wrap up the evening with another walk and training before dinner. While I go to work every day, my schedule is flexible and allows me to step out whenever needed. I have ample time to add in a few walks/check-ins on your furry friends! :) Winston LOVES getting into things he should not, so I spend a lot of my time making sure that my house/backyard are picked up to avoid any issues. I would do the same for your house. He also has his own area equipped with a comfortable bed, his favorite blanket, and multiple toys of all varieties (squeaky toys, tug toys, comfort, etc.). I would make sure that your dog(s) feel(s) at home in my presence by entering slowly, letting them adjust to me (and undoubtedly smell Winston), and then watching their cues to determine my next steps. My flexible schedule allows me to exercise them both early in the morning, mid-day, and later at night!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, as well as 2 cats! I’ve watched and owned both very small dogs about 10 pounds, as well as 110 pound dogs. I love to go on walks, so I’ll make sure your dogs walk a nice far distance! I will play with your pets, feed them, walk them, let them out as often as needed, clean their litter box, and make sure they’re feeling loved. I truly love animals and I am grateful for the opportunity to spend time with them. I can also provide whatever special care your pet may need. I promise your pets will be in good hands! I work 9-5 during the week, so I am available for drop ins before 9 and after 5, as well as all day on Fridays (I work remote on Friday) and all day on the weekends. I have reliable transportation and I am incredibly responsible. I am available for overnight care as well throughout the entire week. I have had dogs and cats my entire life, but I do not currently have any of my own as a young adult. I love animals and miss my own family pets dearly, so this is a nice way to be around animals while helping take care of them! I am capable of providing whatever care for your pet that you might need!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Southside
Josh has went above and beyond to accommodate my very shy dog. He has went out of his way during his own lunches to make extra drop-in visits to continue to build a relationship with my boy. He has great communication skills and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for a house visit or stay. Thank you!!

Alex so awesome. I would highly recommend her to watch your precious angels. She made everything so easy. She was very patient with my huge scared and shy newfoundland Buckley. My other 2 dogs Harpo and Jax fell in love with her very quickly. Alex and i messaged back and forth and i gave her some ideas to get Buckley to warm up to her. She was very thankful for the ideas and Buckley warmed up to her after only a couple visits. I didn't have to worry while on vacation because she was very communicative. I felt like they were in such good hands. Would definitely recommend her and will definitely be using her again!
