“Elizabeth was amazing with Bella, she helped blow her energy and keep her company on a night we were out. Bella had an upset stomach and needed to be taken out in the middle of the night. Elizabeth was very accommodating and took away all worries we had as we were out for the evening. Great sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her for future visits!”

About: Since the age of six, I’ve been taking care of dogs with all kinds of personalities, from hyperactive and playful to shy and anxious. I’ve also looked after dogs who are reactive or aggressive with other pets, so I know how to keep them safe and calm. I treat every dog with respect, care, and understanding, making sure they feel secure while sticking to routines that work best for them. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare so I’ve seen dogs of all kinds and temperaments. All furry friends are welcome in my home🥰 Pet care is a core part of my daily life, not just something I fit in. My schedule revolves around the pets I care for. I’m flexible and happy to build my days around their routines, needs, and energy levels. I truly enjoy sharing life with animals and making the most of every moment we have together. Making your dog feel safe and comfortable is my top priority. I adjust my routine to match your pet’s needs and make sure they feel at ease when you're away. I give them my full attention and care for them like they’re my own, creating a peaceful, structured space where they can thrive.

“Ana was so so sweet! She did an amazing job taking care of our pup! She gave us frequent updates, asked in depth questions about him and his routine, and followed his schedule perfectly! She left him fulfilled and happy. Will for sure book with her again if I need a sitter for sure she was the best!!!”

“I can’t thank Sabrina enough for taking care of my dog while I was out of town! She did a fantastic job, providing daily updates and pictures that reassured me my furry friend was happy and safe. It was clear that my dog was well loved and cared for during my absence, which is top priority! Thanks to Sabrina’s excellent communication, I was able to relax and truly enjoy my time away. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“It was our first time using rover ever and we loved how well Joey took care of our two dogs and house! We have a reactive 2 years old Australian Shepard that doesnt warm up to others usually very well but he reacted very well with Joey. She kept us updated on how they were doing numerous times with pictures and great communication. We will definitely be using Joey again as a dog and house sitter! Our dogs loved her”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Our dog was so well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. Communication was excellent, we received regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. It’s clear how much love and attention went into caring for our dog. We would absolutely trust Monica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!”

About: I’ve spent the last 11+ years caring for a wide range of animals — from energetic puppies to senior cats, to birds, turtles, and even large-breed dogs. Growing up surrounded by animals and now caring for my own dog and cat, I’ve always had a natural connection with pets and a deep sense of responsibility for their wellbeing. Before joining Rover, I provided private pet sitting and walking for family friends, neighbors, and referrals for many years. I’ve worked with shy pets, playful pets, anxious pets, and pets with unique routines. I’m patient, gentle, attentive, and quick to recognize what an animal needs to feel safe and comfortable. I’m confident with different temperaments and sizes, and I genuinely love spending time with animals — ensuring they get affection, stimulation, consistency, and reliable care while their families are away. Whether it’s a long walk, a calm cuddle session, or maintaining a specific routine, I always tailor my care to each pet’s personality. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and I always keep communication clear and consistent so you feel fully at ease while you’re away. My pets mean the world to me, and I treat yours with that same degree of love. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life since I care for my own dog and cat daily. I work full-time on weekdays from roughly 8:30am–5pm, but I’m available for morning and evening walks, check-ins, and plenty of quality time before and after work. On weekends, I’m fully available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. For house sitting, I make sure pets get a consistent morning routine before I leave and lots of attention, walks, and playtime once I’m home in the evening. Many clients find that this schedule matches their own workday, creating a comfortable and predictable routine for their pets. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I build it naturally into my daily rhythm and keep communication open so you always know how your little one is doing. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my first priority. When I’m in your home, I follow your routines exactly as you outline them, from feeding schedules to walk routes to household boundaries. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, sensitivities, and comfort levels so I can make the experience as stress-free and familiar as possible. I’m very attentive to doors, gates, harnesses, and leashes, and I always double-check that your home is secure before I leave. I keep a calm, gentle presence so pets feel safe around me, and I’m mindful of their body language to make sure they’re comfortable with any interaction. Clean water, a tidy litter box, a clean feeding area, and a predictable routine are things I’m consistent about every visit. If I’m house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect and care I’d want for mine. I maintain a clean environment, follow all instructions closely, and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I handle unexpected situations calmly and communicate clearly so you feel confident and informed at all times. Overall, I prioritize trust, communication, and creating a peaceful, safe environment where your pet can relax and feel cared for — just like they would with you.
