About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and love all animals, my dad had a dog business and we had all kinds of pets at home! Though I can't have a pet in my apartment, I enjoy caring for others' furry friends. I offer reliable dog walking, in-home check-ins, and pet sitting for small to medium dogs and cats, treating each pet like my own! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work from home and set my own schedule. I’m able to give pets consistent attention, timely walks, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Since I’m not allowed to have pets in my apartment, I focus on caring for them in my clients’ homes. I follow their routines closely, provide plenty of attention and play time, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my hands-on experience in animal care and my ability to stay calm, attentive, and detail-oriented with pets of all ages and temperaments. I have experience in veterinary clinic settings, including handling and assisting with patient care, which has strengthened my understanding of animal behavior and safety. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic young pets and senior animals who need a gentler, more patient approach. I also make sure routines like feeding, medications, and exercise are followed closely so pets stay comfortable and consistent while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my routine alongside a full-time work schedule. I’m available for visits after work (5PM) on weekdays, and I also have open availability for longer care stays on weekends. I make it a priority to plan my schedule in advance so I can consistently provide reliable care and attention for each pet I take on. I provide care based on each pet’s routine and needs, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after whether I’m in their home or out on a walk. For drop-ins and in-home visits, I follow the owner’s instructions closely—feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up as needed, giving medication if required, and spending time with the pet through play or companionship so they’re not just cared for but also comforted. I also keep the home tidy and make sure everything is secure before I leave. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match the dog’s energy level, whether that’s a relaxed stroll or a more active walk for exercise and stimulation. Overall, I prioritize consistency, safety, and communication, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own.
“Emilie's visit with Lady and Ranger was excellent! Both pups took a liking to her, I don't think Ranger left her side the whole time! Having a small dog as well, Emilie was very familiar with Lady's behaviors. Both dogs enjoyed her presence and I'd be happy if she continued to watch them.”
About: I’ve taken care of and fostered many animals including cats and dogs and myself have 5 animals. I worked as a kennel assistant for a while and love working with animals. I currently work part time and can help with your animals during the week from 3-as long as you need. I am usually also available on saturdays all day. My house is small but my cats are indoor cats and have little toys and things they can climb on throughout the house. Never a boring day with my cats. My dog is walked daily and always is taken care of as well as love playing with our other fur animals.
About: My name is Susan! My husband and I care for all pets as if they were our own. There is always someone home and your pets will always have a companion. Our home is a fun and safe place for dogs to rest and play. There are nearby parks to walk the dogs to along quiet street blocks. We have experience caring for all kind of breeds. We love to play and care for dogs big or small and welcome them with open arms into our home. From Pitbulls to Chihuahuas there's no discrimination here we love them all the same. ****Please do not forget to bring your dogs food, bowls, leashes, and collars or harnesses anything that is necessary for your dogs stay. And if possible but not necessary something that smells like you whether a blankie or piece of clothing it is proven to help your dogs be at ease for longer stays :) Bring your crate if your dog is used to bring in their crate at night or as a safe place that’s available if they need it. *************PLEASE NOTE************* My household will not accommodate Aggressive dogs for the safety of my family including my pets. ************************************************ Housesitting and sitting dogs in your home: I am a pet lover who is willing to come to your home to take care of your pet. I understand that leaving any pet with someone else is difficult but you can rest assured your dog will be walked, fed, cuddled, and cared for. Sometimes people feel more comfortable with pets being cared for in their on home, some dogs are just not used to leaving their sanctuary and I can help. You can feel at ease knowing there's someone who cares watching over your loved ones while your away. I usually sit homes with my husband to make things easier on everyone and make sure the dogs and myself are safe in the home. Over the the years I've cared for many pets dogs, cats, reptiles, and even hamsters. My love for animals does not discriminate. I have my own dogs and understand how important they are to the family. I know things that are harmful to dogs and what to do to prevent it. I am aware of my surroundings and make sure I do everything in my power to keep pets happy and healthy. My pets: I have two French Bulldogs and able to separate them from boarded pets if needed. Medications: I am very comfortable administering medication and have done so many times in the past. I have administered medications for ky own pets and pets I have cared for. The Dogs that stay with us will walk every 2-3 hours during day and feeding depends on the schedule the pet parent provides. Playtime usually happens after walks. We keep out home clear of anything harmful and never open the door without ensuring the dogs will not run out. We treat all dogs like we do our own.
“Itzeel is amazing!! I’ve been so scared to have someone take care of my Kona because she can be a lot of work, but Itzeel is SO good with her! I definitely recommend😊”
“Lyndsey was so sweet and caring to my Clover. Clover can be shy so I appreciate Lyndsey being patient with her. She was timely as well which is always appreciated!”
About: I don’t have professional experience, however, I’ve grown up with my pet husky Kai ever since I was 12 years old— and now we’re both experiencing adulthood together. I’ve specialized in learning how to stick to a routine, caring for a senior pet like him, and being extra attentive to what makes beloved pets like him happy and well cared for, all thanks to him. I’m a college student currently on a gap year looking to fill up her free time! I’m available for walks pretty much any time of the week, and I can do drop-ins within a 1 day notice :-) While doing drop-ins, it is most important for me to learn what your fur baby is most comfortable with, learning their routine, and potty/play time hours!
“Dulce is an excellent petsitter. This is the first time I've used a petsitter and I was completely comfortable with her right from the start. She was great with the dogs and even my grouchy chihuahua liked her! She is very conscientious about her assignment and takes great care. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!!”
“This was my first time using rover and honestly I was super nervous. Those nerves went away so fast with Andrea. She asked a ton of follow up questions when meeting my cats to ensure she would be able to take care of them properly. That really eased my mind when I was leaving. During my trip she sent constant updates and pictures of the state of the kitties and my apartment. I was able rest easy knowing my cats and my apartment were in amazing shape. I am so incredibly grateful for Andrea's communication and care skills. If you need someone to take care of your pets with the same care you do Andrea will do just that”
About: I approach pet care with the understanding that every animal is different—whether they’re energetic, shy, routine-driven, or need a little extra patience. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have hands-on experience caring for pets with more complex needs. One of my own cats is on anxiety medication, so I’m very comfortable administering oral meds in a calm, low-stress way and paying close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, and mood. More recently, my family dog went through a three-month battle with cancer, where I was actively involved in adjusting care routines, monitoring comfort, and providing consistent, attentive support. That experience deepened my ability to respond thoughtfully to pets who need extra care, patience, and flexibility. I’ve also grown up in a household with up to 12 pets at one time, so multitasking and providing individualized attention is second nature to me. I’m confident managing different routines, energy levels, and personalities all at once. I’m highly detail-oriented and reliable, so you can trust that feeding schedules, routines, and any specific instructions will be followed carefully. I also prioritize communication—I provide consistent updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own: with patience, respect, and a genuine investment in their comfort and happiness. As a Ph.D. student, I have a flexible and structured schedule that allows me to consistently incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I plan my days around responsibilities, which makes it easy for me to prioritize visits, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. Caring for my own cats is already a big part of my daily life, so feeding schedules, playtime, cleaning, and monitoring behavior are second nature to me. Adding in pet care for others fits seamlessly into that routine. I’m also intentional about not overbooking, so I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening visits, I’m able to show up consistently and stick to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Overall, pet care isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and able to build my schedule around. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific habits your pet is used to—so they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m very respectful of your home and make sure everything is kept clean, organized, and exactly how you left it. I’m also attentive to the details that matter, like monitoring eating habits, energy levels, and behavior, so I can quickly notice if anything seems off. Overall, I aim to create a calm, reliable presence so your pet feels safe, cared for, and as comfortable as possible in their own home.
“Thank you, Sheila! Marley was very happy when we got home last night. She really enjoyed all the attention you and your girls gave her. I will be sure to request you again next time I go out of town.”

I’m reliable, read dog behavior well, and always keep you updated so you feel at ease 🐾💛 Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I prioritize consistency and reliability. I plan my days around visits, walks, feeding schedules, and check-ins, making sure each pet gets dedicated attention, playtime, and care. Because I’m organized and flexible, I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine and give them the time and attention they deserve 🐾💛 I follow each pet’s routine with feeding, walks, play, and meds. I keep spaces clean, provide a safe environment, and send regular updates for your baby!

Southwest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hannah was amazing! Attentive with my kittens and to their needs. This was the first time I was away from them since I adopted them so I was very nervous, Hannah sent photos and updated me throughout the visits. I will definitely have her back if she’ll return. Thank you!!!
Emilie was incredibly sweet and attentive with my cat. She went above and beyond to help my cat feel comfortable and kept us updated throughout the entire time. We truly appreciated her care and communication. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter, and we will definitely reach out to her again in the future.
Kimi took amazing care of my 18 year old cat with stage 3 CKD while I was away for a week. She visited twice a day and handled everything so patiently and compassionately, including feeding her, giving subcutaneous fluids, cleaning the litter box, giving pills, and helping with the extra challenges of a senior cat who is picky with food and struggles with constipation. She was incredibly kind, reliable, and attentive, and I could tell she truly cared about my cat’s comfort and wellbeing. Because of her, I felt so relieved knowing my cat was in such good hands, and I was actually able to relax and enjoy my trip. I’m very grateful for her help and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend Kimi, especially for pets who need extra patience and care.
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such loving and responsible hands. They kept us updated with messages and photos, which meant so much to us, and it was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Not only were they attentive to all of our dog’s needs, but they also went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We came home to a calm, happy pup and a clean space—what more could you ask for? If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring, I highly recommend them. We will definitely be booking again!

Anyone that says complementary things about my kitty is golden to me! 😁 Armand loves the energy of my little kitty, Rusty. And sees how unique he is and seems to really enjoy watching over him. Anyone that can help me feel a little less anxious about leaving my kitty is someone that I welcome back!
I very pleased with Elizabeth’s kindness and attentiveness! I am beyond neurotic when it comes to my fur babies lol and I have incredibly high expectation of their care and safety - They are my children. I found Elizabeth’s profile and although it’s always nerve wracking to entrust someone with your “kids” you just met, I had a good feeling about her in our messages. we arranged a meet and greet prior to our first Christmas Day evening visit and she was just wonderful. She listened closely to their routine at our meet and greet, and was very sweet and personable. She sent many photos during their Christmas Day visit which is always appreciated; She coaxed our pup who is a picky eater to eat more of his dinner which was a win and our very shy young cat even came out to say hi to her which never happens! I had notated in their care notes to stay in well lit areas on the walk with our pup due to coyotes and I could tell from the photos and map in rover she did exactly that- It means the world that she paid attention and customized their visit with our requests. I can tell She has a kind heart for animals and I am grateful we found her. We came home that night to two happy, well fed and content babies- already planning their next visit with her in January. Thank you Elizabeth!
Song was fantastic! She was super easy to communicate with. She followed any and every instructions we had for her. She sent photos for each visit that we really appreciated since we were away from our baby girl. It made us feel better that she was taking good care of our lucky. We truly appreciated that she went the extra mile to clean up Some of Luckys mess. We cannot wait to book her again! 10/10 experience
I couldn’t be happier with the care Nisa provided! It was clear she genuinely loves and understands cats. She was incredibly attentive, respectful of my space, and made sure my cat felt comfortable and cared for while I was away. I appreciated the thoughtful updates and photos as well! Mango is usually quite shy, but he opened up to Nisa right away. I highly recommend Nisa to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and professional cat sitter. Will absolutely book again!
