“Brooke was the best for our two cats! I knew i didnt have to worry at all while we were out of town! She is such an animal lover and our kitties took to her right away. Thank you so much Brooke and I know we'll be booking with her again in the future!”


“Raquel wasn’t able to do a last minute drop in so she offered to do daycare at her house instead, we ended up doing that and it seems like he had a great time! He’s nice and calm which is a rare thing in the evenings. I appreciate her flexibility and responsiveness. She always does a great job with him and sends lots of pictures!”


“Regan does an excellent job with my fur babies! From the first day I met her, she was punctual and professional. Frodo & Daisy look forward to seeing Regan each day. I have total peace of mind while at work knowing that my babies are checked on midday, and that Regan goes above and beyond in giving them loving and caring attention!”



“Angelee went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations! We got to introduce her to our medium/large dogs before we went out of town and I could tell she was knowledgeable and experienced with caring for large dogs. When we left town, Angelee always took photos of the dogs, wrote to us with a short summary of their time spent together and if any issues occurred. Our dogs made a couple small messes one night and Angelee was thoughtful and took care of the housekeeping for it. The summaries of her time spent with dogs at each check-in was so great to know that the dogs and house were okay. Also good to know they enjoyed her company! Will definitely book with her again!”


“I wish I could give Morgan 10 stars! She is amazing! We have three needy cats, and she took such good care of them that I'm not even sure they noticed we had gone on vacation. She went above and beyond to make sure each cat had all their food and medication every day. She even brought them fun new toys to play with. And we got awesome daily updates with tons of pictures, so we knew our cats were in great hands the whole time!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a child. They are not like family, they are family. Many friends and relatives have entrusted me to care for their pets for short and long stays at my home where they receive love, attention, play, and care. When caring for your pets, they will not be alone for more than 4 hours at a time during the weekday. Evenings and weeknights they will not be alone for more than an hour at a time. I have a large fenced yard and close access to a public park for walks. I enjoy playing with animals and giving them attention and care.

About: Hi there! I’m Claudia👋 I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life — from high-energy pups to sweet, shy cats. I currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, so I truly understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. 🐶🐱 I’m very patient, attentive, and clean. Whether your pet needs time to warm up or lots of play and affection, I adjust to what helps them feel safe and loved. I always aim to create a calm, caring environment so they feel at ease — not just “watched.” I’m available for pet care mornings, after 4:30pm. I work part-time in from 11am- 4:30pm, but I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine when I’m not scheduled. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk, or overnight care — I’ll make sure your pet gets the time and attention they need.📍 I prioritize safety, calm energy, and clear communication when caring for pets. Whether I’m in your home or stopping by for walks or drop-ins, I always follow instructions closely and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for. I’ll respect your space, your routine, and most importantly — your pet’s comfort and trust. I keep your pets’ routine as close to normal as possible—consistency is key to happy pets.🥰

“Anna has been great dropping in a few times for the first week of me using the Rover app! She’s been a great help dropping in to help take my puppy Koopa out, feeding him, and also reinforcing his training we’ve been working on while my girlfriend and I are at work.”


About: I’m warm, playful, and super friendly! I give extra care to small and medium dogs, especially puppies, and I’m happy to help with long walks, medications, and all the snuggles they could want. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m coming to you, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also take a limited number of guests so I can give each pet my full attention—bookings are first come, first served once confirmed. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure to schedule walks, playtime, and breaks around your pet’s needs so they get plenty of attention and exercise. Building trust with pets and owners is a top priority, so I communicate openly and update you regularly. I build strong bonds with pets through consistent care, positive attention, and patience. I also keep open communication with owners, providing regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands :)

About: I’m really good with being patient and understanding with animals. I’ve had many difficulty animals and so I’ve learned to cater towards their needs. No animal is too difficult I’m currently in college so I would have to wait after classes or before classes. Most days I’m done with school at 12pm and I don’t have classes on Fridays. Unfortunately because I am living in a dorm therefore I cannot take care of pets in my home. Over breaks however, I have a fence.


About: I am a mom of two senior dogs who I absolutely adore! I have a variety of pet care experience from the age of 10, as I have always had multiple dogs and cats in the home since I was young. From a good old-fashioned walk to administering care for special medical means, it would be my pleasure to care for your furry friend. The weather may be warm, but look no further - your pup and I will be sure to get that good exercise in. When I am not volunteering with local nonprofits in the evenings and on weekends, Rover is my full-time focus! I am a night owl, so it's never too late for a drop in or a walk. My two senior dogs are my everything, and are known to be very pampered in my house. I am comfortable administering oral medication, as that is a common occurrence for my two girls. I believe that it's incredibly important to read a dog's body language and behavior in order to be sure they are as comfortable as possible. I also have a small stroller for dogs under 30 lbs, for those pups that need some sun, but may not be up for a full walk.


About: I volunteered at CARE which is a no kill pet shelter for cats and dogs in 2014 and recently started volunteering at this place again, February 2018. My duties included feeding and making sure the animals had enough water. Cleaned out kennels and cages and would take the dogs outside and walk them. I have had dogs and cats since I was born and currently had a dog who loved being around other cats and dogs. She loved to play with animals as well and loved children. Her name was Daisy she is in my profile pic with me. Daisy was euthanized on September 1st, 2023. I now have another dog whose name is Emma. She’s a year old and as long as it’s ok with a client I bring her to pet sitting jobs. She loves other animals including cats and loves to play. She’s lovable and affectionate and loves attention. I also have a cat and her name is Maizy. She is four years old and I got her when she was almost 4 weeks old. I would take Daisy for walks and if I could take her with me to other places I did. One of the places I took her was to the pet store. I no longer wear a mask unless I have to. If you prefer for me to wear one please let me know and I will wear one. I use to work at a job which required me to work a 10 hour shift. I am now working at a full time job which has 8 hour shifts. I can work around my schedule if needed. My supervisor does work with me on switching my days around if needed. I can’t keep your pet in my apartment due to rules and restrictions but I can come to your home. I will provide my own food and necessities.

About: I grew up with my own puppers and also house sat friends animals! I’m nothing special but I will love your fur baby like it’s my own. I’m a stay at home mom and always looking for something to spice up my time. Being able to play with a fur baby would make the whole day better! While I don’t have a yard for your baby to run in I love being outside! Lots of walks, parks to visit, and pets/snuggles to be had!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. I have walked dogs for my neighborhood every summer, and house sat pets for friends and family. I am currently working a full time day time job! I get off everyday around 4-4:30 and I would love to be able to take care of a pet after work! I would be perfect for anyone that works nights and can’t be home to let out their fur baby! Weekends would be perfect for anyone that has to go out of town! I have walked many dogs and taken care of many dogs. I am very good with controlling dogs in a calm manner, and not being aggressive with them. I do not believe in harsh punishments. And try to give positive reinforcement.

“Taylee took great care of our Chewy! He loved her visits, especially when he got to play fetch. It was a comfort knowing Chewy was getting potty breaks and playtime while we were on vacation. The daily updates and pictures were great, and Taylee responded quickly to my texts. We will definitely book Taylee again!”

Gerrad L.Star Sitter
“I think Gerrad should have been raised on a farm. Gerrad has a love for all animals. I have known him to bring dogs into his home that were lost or strays and works on finding the owners. He will feed them and show them love then hates to give them up when he finds the owners. He has had his own pets ( dogs and cats ) and the pets become his friends. If you want your pet to be loved, Gerrad will do that.”

Shirley S.
“Shirley is fantastic ! Our little friend is always so excited to her. Shirley is always on time and very attentive to our conversation so the schedule is followed just as I would do it. Cassie loves the walks and snuggles. Shirley has a good sense of intuition on what’s needed. She can always tell if Cassie has extra energy and needs an extra few minutes in her walk or if she should stay in because of the heat or cold. She is very good about pet hygiene practices and pet safety. I feel confident when she is in our home and have total trust in her.. We highly recommend her.”


Chesnee A.
“I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Chesnee in action as a pet owner, and I can confidently say she’s one of the most responsible and caring individuals I know when it comes to taking care of animals. Whether it’s her own pets or those she’s sitting for, Chesnee is incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and nurturing. She takes the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and preferences, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Her attention to detail, reliability, and genuine affection for animals make her an excellent pet sitter. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets with the same care and attention you would, Chesnee is the perfect choice!”
