“Kaitlin is the best! I went away for an overnighter and my two pups were given so much love and attention at my home while I was away. They were relaxed, calm and happy when I returned. Kaitlin was so good at keeping me updated and sending sweet pictures of my fur babies. My two pups took to her right away. She’s so good with animals, genuine, trustworthy with a great work ethic. I highly recommend! I will absolutely be booking with them again! Thank you again, Kaitlin!”

“We couldn't be happier with the job Kelsey did watching our 1 1/2 year old puppy, Alfie. She is warm & loving and extremely responsible. Kelsey moved into our home for 3 weeks and not only did she do a fabulous job with Alfie, she was clean & respectful of our home. We received lots of texts, pictures & videos which really helped to ease our anxiety over leaving Alfie for so long. He loved Kelsey so much that although he was overjoyed to see us, he was also depressed that Kelsey was gone. We will definately use Kelsey again without hesitation!”

“Matt is a caring and wonderful pet sitter. He not only loves and cares for the pets like they are his own, but he cares for the home too. I can't recommend Matt enough and surely will continue to use him!”

“We greatly appreciated Livana staying with our Tank. He was so happy to go on walks and play with his toys while we were away. Livana took great care of him. She sent us updates and pictures the entire time and we couldn’t thank her enough.”

“Cara did a great job with three larger dogs. Two lap Labs and an old boxer mix. Our concern was how the old boxer would get along with her. Cola immediately warmed up and Cara gave us regular updates through photos. I'd recommend her.”

“This was our first time using Rover and what a great experience we, and especially our Libby, had with Stephanie. We had introductory meetings beforehand and Libby loved Stephanie right away. We received terrific pictures and lots of communication. Stephanie took great care of Libby and our home. It was truly a wonderful experience and we intend to reach out again when the next opportunity and need arises. Stephanie is a wonderful, caring, person and I highly recommend her.”

“Cindy was great with my Calvin! He was happy and well taken care of the couple days I was gone and I’ll definitely be using her again in the future when I leave town.”

About: Hi, I’m Tate a lifelong animal lover with experience as unique as the pets I care for! I grew up surrounded by animals—horses, dogs, geese, and barn cats—and I’ve been a trusted sitter for everything from puppies to parrots, bottle babies to bearded dragons. I have a special heart for pets with extra needs, including those with anxiety, reactivity, or medical concerns. I’m experienced with insulin administration, glucose monitoring, and special meal prep—your pet’s routine is safe with me. While my husband was serving in the Air Force, I spent four years caring for military families’ pets near Dyess AFB while completing my college degree. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, chickens, exotics—you name it, I’ve probably cuddled it! I genuinely feel like I speak their language. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or needs a little extra TLC, I’ll meet them where they’re at—with love, patience, and lots of care. Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my routine—it’s something my routine feels incomplete without. After earning my degree in graphic design and moving across the country, I had to say goodbye to the fur family I sat for in Texas. That shift made me realize just how much joy and purpose pet sitting brought to my everyday life. These days, I work from home on flexible, self-paced art and design projects, which means I have the freedom to take breaks, make visits, and give pets the attention they deserve—whether it’s a midday walk, medication, or just some much-needed love. Caring for animals brings balance and warmth to my day, and I genuinely look forward to every tail wag, meow, chirp, or cuddle. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, my top priority is maintaining their usual routine and environment to minimize stress and keep them feeling safe and secure. I take time to understand each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s playtime outside, quiet companionship, or extra TLC for pets who are shy or reactive. My approach is experience-focused—I’m not just there to check a box, but to make sure your pets are truly cared for and comforted while you’re away. I also believe in leaving your home as tidy (or better!) than you left it. I often vacuum or sweep, take out the trash, bring in mail, and keep up with litter boxes, enclosures, and yard clean-up. My goal is to provide total peace of mind—both for your pets and for you.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities for over 10 years. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I am patient, dependable, and make sure every pet feels loved and comfortable while their owner is away. I currently work full-time, but I am home by 4:00 pm during the week. I am available most weekends, so I can provide consistent drop-ins, walks, or playtime that fits your pet's routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience following detailed instructions and keeping pets on schedule with meals, walks, and medications if needed. In your home, I respect your space while making sure your pet feels secure and loved.
About: My goal is to ensure that you are able to relax knowing your fur baby is getting the care and love they deserve, I am diligent and a very caring person, and I will follow a list to the letter. I shall even send you updates so you can see how happy your darling pup is. I am currently free and able to take care of your animals for whenever you need me to, I just want to make sure that you don’t have to worry when you are away from them. I treat them as they are my own and give them all the care and treatment they need, I make sure they also are comfortable in my care.
“Cyndi was very trustworthy and reliable while watching our two dogs while we took a family trip. Usually our dogs stay with family while we travel, but I can tell Cyndi kept them comfortable and gave them all the snuggles they needed! She did a beautiful job cleaning our home too, which was completely unexpected! Cyndi is warm and welcoming and I'm confident she'd be an excellent care taker for anyone's pets and anyone's home.”

“Michelle was wonderful with my Bella. Michelle sent me photos and kept me up to date. I would definitely recommend her for house sitting with your precious pets ( family members!)”


“Samm is truly a great dog sitter and a wonderful,caring person. We had a last minute booking that turned into a family emergency and she worked through multiple extensions of time. She’s accommodated us and moved around her schedule to take the best care of our furry family too! I highly recommend Samm!”
About: I am a new pet sitter. However, I have experience with my own pets, who were all vastly different from each other. A dachshund, a parrot, and a tarantula. I love all pets, even the unconventional ones. I can handle loud animals, including large parrots, and I’m very patient. I can wash and brush a dog if needed; I would do so for my dachshund on a weekly basis, and his vet commented on how great his skin and coat looked! I am available any day of the week, at any hour. My only other job is DoorDash, and I will make petsitting my primary work, so there is nothing that takes up time in my schedule. You can trust that I’m well grounded and will not call or text to bother you 24/7, unless you want me to. I’m adaptable and can solve minor problems on my own. I’m very easygoing, so I have no problem staying late, coming early, or pet sitting for multiple days in a row.
“Bailey was fantastic. House was just as it was left and I’m very happy I used Rover to find her. I was much happier leaving him with her than putting in a dare care type place. Bailey was very kind and I could tell she cares for pets well.”

“Paige was an outstanding sitter for Princess, and a very separation anxiety, Panache. She made sure that his food was upstairs under my bed, so that he could access it. It does take her awhile to answer texts from me, but her care of my pets and home was excellent.”
