“My two kitties loved their time with Katurah while I was away. The pictures and report card were so cute! Katurah was super responsive and kept me updated my whole trip. I really appreciate her communication, and reliability. Will use again for sure for peace of mind :)”
About: I love dogs and cats, I am a big animal fan and have always been. i enjoy going on walks and being super active.I am saving up for my dream dog a shiba inu for the future when I get my own place to call home. id love to enjoy having the experience of lightening up you and your furry friends day! I am currently working on a school so through out the day I would like some outside time to enjoy the weather or just help get energy out. I have 2 cats i love dearly and i am a very visual person. I can sometimes pickup when something is wrong or notice specific signs.
About: I have taken care of dogs from all sizes and breeds. I enjoy taking them for walks, playing fetch or giving them all the belly rubs they want! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have helped take care of my friends and families dogs while they are away. Depends on day and time, I can do 3 times a day if needed. I work full time but am available before work and after work Monday through Friday. I am also free Saturdays and Sundays whenever needed. I will always make time for your pets as you are trusting me to watch your loved ones while away. I would always make sure your pets are cared for by feeding them, giving them water and while out for a walk making sure their safety is my top priority. Playing with them with their favorite toys or giving them belly rubs before leaving to get as much energy out as possible!
“This was my first time using Rover and Jo made it an excellent experience. Jo’s reports were thorough and comforting so I felt good about how my cats were doing during my trip - even my elderly and needy ones!”
About: For the past four years, I’ve been actively involved in running a busy in-home dog boarding and daycare business through Rover. While my former partner handled most of the client communication and scheduling, I was heavily involved in the day-to-day care of the dogs and was responsible for making sure they were safe, happy, exercised, and well cared for throughout their stay. I regularly cared for multiple dogs at a time, including dogs staying with us 24/7. My responsibilities included taking dogs outside every 1–2 hours, supervising playtime and group interactions, providing exercise and enrichment, cleaning up after them, and paying close attention to their individual personalities and behaviors. Over the years, I’ve learned a great deal about dog behavior and how to safely manage different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. I became comfortable introducing dogs to one another, supervising group play, recognizing when dogs needed space or a break, and making sure every dog was comfortable in the environment. I also handled a large part of the cleaning and daily upkeep, including cleaning crates, deep-cleaning the dog areas, washing food and water bowls, maintaining a clean environment, and making sure the dogs always had a safe and comfortable place to stay. One of my favorite parts of caring for dogs is making sure they have a great experience while their owners are away. I love playing with them, giving them attention, taking them outside, and getting great pictures and updates for their owners so they can see how much fun their dog is having. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and after four years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare environment, I’m excited to continue doing what I love and provide that same level of care to Rover clients and their pets. This is what I do and have done for a living for the last 4 years, prior to this I was working with my former partner under her rover account, plenty of play time for your pups! I create a safe environment for the dogs in my care by using crates, if your dog is good with other dogs then I do small play groups that last anywhere between 30-45 minutes, if your dog is reactive to other dogs I keep them in separate areas of the house, and let them out 1 on 1 with me.
“Thank you Archna for taking such wonderful care of our dog Astro once again! Archna is the best pet sitter you can find and we know Astro will be well taken care of by her.”
About: I have a great deal of patience and love to give your pet. I have grown up with pets and come with over 15 years of experience caring for my own special needs dog which included administering medication twice a day and caring for her during and after seizures. I have taken the last several years off to focus my efforts on the stray cat community. Over the last several years I have rescued, rehabilitated and placed over 20 cats. I am always on time and I truly love animals of any kind. I have experience caring for small farm animals such as chickens and ducks. I can’t wait to meet your fury friend and help break up there day while you are away:) My schedule varies week to week but generally I am flexible and open any time Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I am available Tuesday-Thursday 4pm and on. I am flexible and like to know about the pets schedule and routine. I have a fenced in yard and access to lots of park areas.
About: Recently left my quality management role at Amazon and now pursuing a career in what feeds my spirit - animals. My pets have changed my life for the better, I believe everyone should have the ability to experience what I have! Since I was in kindergarten I have had a unique connection with animals, and starting this new chapter in my life is terrifying yet amazing. So if you decide to book with me or only will you be supporting local (so thank you), but you will feel completely at peace knowing your pet is not just another checkbox on my list…. But a new friend I am happy to have made. I exercise my pets everyday and ensure they are training consistently. I currently have a flexible schedule so we can work on your needs and scheduling. My home is puppy proof, along with a gate I use to separate the upstairs from downstairs so my cat can have some peace and quiet lol
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 2 years! Walking, feeding, and playing with family members dogs! I really enjoy spending time with all pets! I have a flexible weekly schedule in the summer. And when I’m back at school, I can do weekends only! Just depends when I’m home from school! I will walk, feed, and play with my client’s pets. If medicine is needed to be given, I can do that as well. Along with anything else that is necessary!
“Emily is so caring and reliable. Completely took away all stress and worry for someone to take care of our fur nugget! She treats and cares for our boy like her own!! Highly recommend to everyone”
“Lisa has been fantastic with my dog. He was apprehensive and standoffish about a stranger coming into the house, but she’s been so kind and patient with him while he gets to know her. Thank you so much!!!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and James made the entire process incredibly easy. Before I even booked, he took the time to explain how everything worked and answered all my questions, which helped me feel comfortable right away. During the first week of appointments, he continued to check in, guide me through the app, and make sure I knew what to expect. He visits three days a week to help socialize my very grumpy, very particular cat, and he’s been so patient with her. He gives her space when she needs it, tries gently to engage when she’s willing, and always makes sure she’s fed and cared for. He’s flexible, kind, and clearly committed to helping her warm up at her own pace. The photos he takes are great. They always capture her personality and the fun notes he leaves on each report card make the updates something I look forward to. His consistency and care have made a real difference, and I’m grateful to have found someone I trust.”
“Tyler is a a great gift as my dog sitter. He has helped out tremendously when I was in need of someone to watch my dog Horus. Tyler is one of three people I trust with my dog.”

Gracie is amazing! We will definitely be booking her drop-in services again for our 3 dogs. She came over before our trip to meet our pups and get a run down of their routine. Then at each drop-in visit, we got an update and great photos! Gracie is reliable, trustworthy, and there's no doubt she loves dogs! Five stars! Highly recommend!
It quickly became clear to me that Nicole is a true animal lover at heart, which gave me so much peace of mind while she cared for my fur babies. She kept me updated, shared wonderful photos, and spent genuine quality time with my two cats. I could tell they were well cared for and loved while I was away. So grateful. Thank you, Nicole :)

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
