About: I’ve been caring for and dog-sitting for family, neighbors, and friends for over 10 years, including paid pet-sitting. I have experience with both small and large dogs with different personalities and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and making sure they feel comfortable. I currently work as a private basketball coach, so I have plenty of availability during the day to hang out, play, and go for walks. I’m also available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting on weekends. I provide attentive, reliable, and personalized care in your pet’s home and during walks or drop-in visits. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while giving them plenty of one-on-one attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 10. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and give plenty of love to their pets. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and cats always treating them like part of my family. I love keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule, so I can spend plenty of time with pets each day. I’m available for dog walking, cat care, playtime, and more. I make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable in my care. I provide a calm, clean, and pet friendly environment, and I follow all instructions from owners closely.
“I generally am not comfortable having people in my home or leave my pets care to anyone. This is my first experience with Rover and I was comfortable with Isabella from the beginning. My cat can be temperamental and is very choosy about who she will allow near her. For instance, she loves one of my daughters and is not as friendly with the other. When I arrived home, Lexi was at ease and a very happy. I will recommend Isabella to everyone I know.”
“Skarlett was amazing! She took great care of our cat while we were away and sent tons of pictures and videos to show us how he was doing. I would recommend her services to anyone in a heartbeat.”
About: I've always had dogs in my life, primarily large breeds, and currently own three dogs and three cats. I helped raise a litter of seven puppies from birth to 12 weeks, giving me extensive experience with puppy care and development. I've also dog-sat for family friends many times and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so both you and your pet can feel at ease. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.

I also stream online and bartend one evening per week, but my schedule allows me to be available throughout the day and accommodate most pet care needs. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routines and making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Since I only offer care in clients' homes, my goal is to keep your pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in a familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication administration (if needed), playtime, and any special care requirements. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active play, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I make sure they receive the attention and care they need while you're away. I also respect and care for your home as if it were my own, keeping things clean, secure, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're gone.

Josh was a fantastic sitter, and we had a great experience with him. He did drop-in visit and then house sat for us and took excellent care of our cat. What really stood out was how quickly he bonded with our cat who is shy and usually hides from people. Josh was reliable, communicative, and clearly very comfortable around animals. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a house that was just as we left it. Overall, Josh did a wonderful job, and we would definitely hire him again in the future!
I had an absolutely wonderful experience with my cat sitter! I have three cats, and they all warmed up to her so quickly — which says a lot because they don’t always trust new people. She clearly has a natural way with animals and made them feel comfortable right away. She spent a lot of quality time with them during each visit, not just the basics. I could tell they were happy and relaxed in all the updates she sent. She was amazing about communication! I received regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Everything was spotless when I returned — litter boxes were cleaned, and everything was exactly as it should be. It’s such a relief knowing my cats were so well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter. I will absolutely be booking her again! 🐱💛
Sydney was awsome! She responded immediately to my inquiry on short notice. She was very accomodating with her schedule to meet our elderly kitty and get the information and special instructions she needed to take good care of him while we were away. Sydney sent us pictures and responded immediately to my text messages. I felt confidient he was well cared for. Will definintley contact Syndney again!

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
