About: Here is $20 off your first booking!!! KYLIU82403 I have two dogs of my own and am looking forward to taking care of your best friend!! I have a fully fenced in yard with a dog pool and what feels like a million toys! I have had dogs and cats my whole life and really enjoy taking care of them. I will keep in contact with daily pictures and good communication. I am on a set schedule for work but also work 10 minutes from home and can go home if needed. There is a dog park in my community and I also have a backyard! Like I mentioned I have two of my own dogs so your dog will be treated like my own! I do not plan anything without the dogs in mind. I have two friendly dogs and one friendly cat at my house and there is a lot of playing happening 24/7. I check on them often throughout the day!
“Loved having her! Very communicative and reliable, will be using her again in the future. Cannot thank her enough for making our vacation perfect knowing our sweet kitty was in good hands. ❤️”
“Thanks to Car, we were able to enjoy our vacation without worries. She took care of our pets as if they were her own, sending us photos twice a day and telling us about our pets' day. We couldn't have found a better person than her. She's sure to be our pet sitter for a long time. Thank you so much, Car, for making our vacation worry-free.”
“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have had animals in my house all my life and have always loved taking care of them! I grew up with cats and when we finally got our first dog we were inseparable. I went off to college and got my own animals to take care of for a couple years but I recently moved across the country with my husband and we had to leave our little friends behind with our families. My late childhood dog had gotten older as I was going off to college and lost her hearing and sight, so I'm well prepared to take care of animals that need a little extra attention! I'm hoping to help people in the area out with their little family members! I love to walk dogs, play with cats, and just hangout with all types of animals. Im currently working from home and doing some online schooling. This allows me to be super flexibly for a job with Rover. I can tend to your pets needs 24/7. Because of my situation, your pet will almost never be left alone and will be well taken care of and loved! I do not have any pets of my own currently and will only be taking one family at a time. I have a huge yard outside my apartment unit and a fenced in dog park that is not too far of a walk away as well!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my genuine passion for their care. Growing up, I was surrounded by both cats and dogs, which taught me the importance of understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to dog-sit for family and friends, caring for pets of various breeds, ages, and temperaments. This hands-on experience has given me valuable skills, such as managing energetic puppies, providing extra attention to senior pets, and ensuring all pets feel loved and secure. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and I’m committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for them. I recently graduated from college and am currently awaiting my diploma to begin my career. In the meantime, I have the flexibility to dedicate my time to caring for pets daily, ensuring they receive the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment tailored to their specific needs. I ensure they have a designated space for rest, provide access to fresh water, and follow their feeding schedules precisely. I also supervise playtime to keep them active and engaged while ensuring their safety.
“Excellent!!! Mikayla did such an amazing job caring for our big boy Luke. She was on time and extremely professional. She sent us a detailed Rover card and great pictures. We’ll book her again next week and beyond!”
“Yan is an AMAZING cat sitter! She kept in daily communication in a professional and upbeat way; it's such a relief to find a sitter who sends a detailed report with plenty of adorable photos. She very smoothly handled some hiccups when my lively kitties got into some mischief. She seemed to care for them in a way that really put me at ease. Would definitely book again!”
“Tyler is an awesome pet caregiver! He has been doing drop in visits for our new puppy for the last few weeks and has been very helpful. He is trustworthy, has excellent communication, and goes above and beyond to make sure our pup is taken care of. He even gives our other dog love too while he’s there. He gives feedback after every visit and I can tell he is invested in our dogs happiness. Him and his wife, Sierra, are our first choice for a pet sitter due to each experience being great! I would highly recommend Tyler for any of your pet service needs!”

About: Hi my name is Rachelle! I’ve walked and watched most dogs since I was seventeen my love for dogs and animals are my passion. I’ve had animals such as goats, dogs, ducks you name it since I was little! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I have a year and a half German shepherd who has very high energy so we spend most of our time in the yard playing fetch and going on walks My German shepherd requires a lot of walks and running through out the day it makes for a very fun day especially to see her so happy! I make sure everything is ok while I am walking them, make sure I have plenty of water with me and it’s not too hot for them
About: I have had at least one dog my entire life, so over 20 years. I have experience with puppies who were just born, all the way to a pup who is 17 years old - almost as old as me! I have owned multiple dogs at a time, trained my own puppies, and have even had farm animals (cows, pigs, goats, chickens, you name it!) My family and friends have relied on me to care for their pups for years, and I have experience with over 20 breeds including (Shih Tzus, Yorkshire Terriers, Chihuahuas, English Bulldogs, Great Pyrenees, German Shepherds, Mountain Curs, Golden Doodles, Golden Retrievers, Doberman Pinchers, and many more!) I am a 23 year old newly married, dog loving girl! I have a 5 year old English bulldog of my own and her and I are the best buddies! I can assure you, your pup will be just as loved as if it was my own. I absolutely love walking dogs and taking them to the dog park (two of my faves) or simply just playing in the yard. Prior to taking care of your pup, I love for them to get familiar with me, so I will take the on a walk or play with them first. I do not offer overnight services in my personal home, but will visit your home so that your sweet pup (or cat!) feels safe and very familiar with its surroundings. I have found that relocating your pup to a place they have never been can make them very nervous, therefore I simply visit your home where your pup is at the times that you typically feed/water, and take out your pup on a normal basis!
