“Elvira is wonderful - she made time to come meet me and my pup before the visits started so everyone would feel comfortable. She was prompt, locked everything up when she left, sent me lots of pictures and communication, and carries treats in her bag :) 10/10!”


“Ana went above and beyond to ensure our dog was taken care of while we were away! She made sure to give our little one all the attention she needs & asked all the right questions to ensure she was taken care of properly.”


“Willow was absolutely fantastic! She was amazing with our puppy and went above and beyond to take care of him. She was always on time and sent the cutest pictures:) We would absolutely recommend her to any pet parent!”


“Felicia was very kind and patient with Charlie, as he's very shy and sometimes stubborn. She was also very considerate about not exposing him to the heat and keeping him entertained inside the house. Felicia was also punctual and always available to give me a report on Charlie.”


“Michael did a great job with a drop in visit this time. The pups were ecstatic to see him. He he took them out and also played ball with them for a while in the backyard. I can always be confident that during my longer business days that our dogs are happy and well cared for.”


“Alyssa was great! Felt very comfortable the whole time I was gone knowing she was taking care of my cat, and her communication is amazing! Everything we had talked about was taken care of, would definitely recommend/rebook!”


“Michelle has again been amazing. We have used her numerous times over the past few years to watch our 3 cats while we away. She is consistently on time and great with our shy cats.”


“Kayla did an amazing job on a few check ins while we were out of town. Our cat Desi has really taken a liking to her, probably because Kayla will brush her out when she stops by. Kayla also went above and beyond and helped revive our plants. Will continue to hire her”


About: I've been around dogs since the day I was born—literally! I’ve grown up with dogs and have experience caring for all kinds of pups, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I’ve owned both a fox red Labrador and a black Lab, so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds, their needs, and their personalities. Over the years, I’ve dog-sat for many families, and I treat every pup like my own. Whether it’s giving senior dogs their meds and moving at their pace, or keeping up with playful pups who need lots of activity, I know how to make dogs feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Plus, I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy forming bonds with every dog I meet! Caring for pets is something I naturally make time for because it’s something I truly enjoy. Whether it’s part of my daily schedule or weekend routine, I love being active and spending time with animals—it never feels like a chore. I make sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need, whether that means morning walks, playtime throughout the day, or relaxed evenings with some extra snuggles. I’m also great at sticking to feeding schedules, medication routines, and any specific instructions a pup might need. Dogs aren’t just a part of my routine—they’re a big part of my life. Whether I’m watching your pet in my home or coming to yours, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and relax. I keep a close eye on routines like feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any special care needs—just like I would for my own pups. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I make it a priority to follow your instructions closely so your dog can stick to their usual routine in a familiar environment. I treat your space with respect, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or just companionship, I’m all about keeping tails wagging and owners worry-free!

“Emily filled in for walks on short notice and did wonderful. Her communication and attention to detail was well above expectations. She took detailed notes on the routine and my pup loved her! Highly recommend for anyone needing a their pup walked”


About: I have 20+ years of pet care experience from working at a Veterinary Clinic as a kennel attendant to becoming a dog and cat groomer for nearly 8 years. I have pet sat, house sat, fostered, been a dog walker, administered insulin, and made grooming house calls. I currently work full time as a Life Enrichment Director at a senior living community. My job provides me with great fulfillment and purpose but I have always had a passion for taking care of animals. I do have a lot of flexibility with my work and because I create my own schedule, I am able to accommodate your needs to the best of my ability. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust and rely on and I appreciate the opportunity to build that relationship with you. I have a very sweet, loving husky who is great with pets, people, and is extremely playful and submissive. I also have two cats in my household as well. I live in an apartment building where a large fenced dog park is right out my front door and an extra furnished (unoccupied) bedroom can be used to keep your furry friend cozy. As far as your own home, I would be extremely respectful, clean, quiet, and only do what is asked of me. I have my own life, which I love, so would never hang around, unless that is something you need or wanted.

About: The three of us would like to welcome your dog(s) as our guests! I (Jacky) was a professional pet sitter for 16 years, then left the business while we prepared to be parents. Our son is now 8 years old and he is sweet and gentle to animals. We had two dogs and lost them a couple of years ago. We were all heartbroken! Then, we started pet sitting trying to fill the holes in our hearts. Then the owner of one of our frequent guests let us know that she had to rehome one of her dogs. The pets we watch are truly like temporary parts of our family... so he became ours! We are thrilled to now have a new family member! King is a sweetheart but we believe in proper dog introductions - meeting in a neutral place first, going for a walk together, then inviting your dog(s) into our home. No aggressive dogs or dogs that aren't good with kids, please. Thank you! I work part-time but am trying to work as little as possible so I can be as much of a full-time mom as I can. I will be your dog's mom too while you are away! My husband also adores dogs and works full-time from home. Your dog is allowed on our furniture and has free range of our home. We don't have a doggy door but we have a wonderful big backyard and we are home a lot to let your dog(s) out. We love to walk! We can give medicine, brush your dog, respect your wishes and dog's dietary needs to share food or not, and otherwise just make him/her a part of our family while in our care! Alex and I are available much of the day between the two of us. We both work mostly from home, although I do some personal training for clients in their homes on the side. I work away from home maybe 15 hours a week, and almost never more than 4 hours away at a time. My husband is home more than I am and he enjoys pet care, too! Pets are not just pets to us, they are family. We want your dog(s) to be good friends with our dog! We will take your dog(s) for walks, feed them on your schedule, give as much petting as possible, encourage play with toys, and snuggle as much as your dog(s) enjoy.

“I felt so care free on my trip knowing that Madison was there to take care of my kitty! She was on top of everything: she fully updated me on how Gussie was doing every visit (with plenty of pics), made sure she was well fed (of course), kept her litter box and outside area clean everyday, spent quality time cuddling and playing with Gussie, and even picked up the mess Gussie made from dropping my plants!! It was so nice to know Madison was taking great care of my baby so I could enjoy my time away and not stress about how my cat is doing. I’ve heard some mixed reviews about trusting strangers on Rover for petsitting, but Madison has my full trust and I was so grateful to have her as a responsible pet sitter <3”


About: I grew up in a household with cats and freshwater fish, I currently have one cat, and many freshwater fish and shrimp. One of my first "gigs" from a young was stopping in on neighborhood pets, letting them in or out, taking care of cat boxes, and putting out fresh food and water. I have some experience with aging pets. My cat, who I adopted three years ago, isalmost 17, and while still very active, requires special care for kidney disease. I love dogs too, and while I do not have any in my home currently, I am experienced or familiar with different types of training and walking. I can do water changes on freshwater aquariums, even for sensitive fish, and as long as you can provide care instructions, I can at a minimum feed your saltwater friends, and top off evaporation so the water does over salinated. I am currently self employed an set my own hours, as long as I am not booked for specific times with another pet, I can visit on your schedule. For pets staying in my home, they'll be given space and opportunities to interact with me and my cat. If necessary or requested, I do have a very large spare room that pets can be sequestered in with their own food, water, queen size bed, and litter box. At present, I'm not sure how my cat behaves with other animals, however to ensure your pet's visit is a safe and comfortable one, my cat will remain separate from visiting pets for at least the first 24 hours. I do have a side yard that is fully paved/gravel, and the gate does not always latch, as such any dogs staying with me will be indoors most of the time, with frequent "comfort" breaks/walks to avoid messes. I do allow pets on furniture/beds. Bedrooms will be closed during the day, but my room will usually be open at night. If doing drop in/walking checks: Each visit is largely up to the pet, of course dogs need to be let out to do their business, or in to shelter from our weather. If your fur baby wants to cuddle or play that's what we'll do, absent any special instructions (i.e. a dog with a medical condition that requires them to limit their running, or a cat that needs to be woken up for play time/exercise during the day). Even fish like to interact with their humans, and a change in routine or the arrival of a stranger can be stressful. At a minimum, your pet will get fresh food and water, be cleaned up after if needed, and for dogs ample outside time.

Kelly B.
“The thing I appreciated most about Kelly and the service she provided was the complete ease it put me in about the care for my pets. I have a young, high energy dog and two cats. Not only were they well cared for and very happy under Kelly's care it was clear that they had been more than just engaged during her visits but had truly been loved for. My pets tend to be destructive if they are neglected for any longer length of time. It was always a relief to find that not only was there never any damage done by my pets under Kelly's care but in fact it appeared that things were maybe even more organized (in matters pet related, only) than I had left them. I can't imagine leaving my pet's care to anyone else; thank heavens for Kelly and her assistance.”

Sunburst Farms pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jordan was fantastic! I was apprehensive because I have never used a sitter outside of friends and family before. She was phenomenal! I was completely at ease with her taking care of our cat. She sent updates throughout the day. Even more phenomenal, there was an issue with a key to our home where the key broke inside the lock. Jordan went to the hardware store and got the key replaced without our asking her to. She was fantastic and we will definitely utilize her services in the future! I can’t speak highly enough of her.

Shelby is amazing! Our dog is a sweet boy but very reactive when he first meets people, and Shelby works with dogs enough that she knew how to handle him! Her report cards and photos were the highlight of my day while we were away from our boy! I personally would definitely use Shelby again as our sitter :)
