About: I have had a dog of my own for nine years and think I would be a great fit to take care of your animal. I know what to do in different situations with dogs and cats because I have babysat dogs and cats before. I have a lot of free time to properly take care of your animals.

Whether it‘s walks or giving pets, being around animals brings me so much joy and I would love to keep dog-sitting while I build my career as a musician. As a gigging musician, I have a flexible schedule based around performances, lessons, and auditions. My schedule can vary week to week, but I am almost always squeeze in walks and drop-ins according to my daily availability. My experience with sitting has included home-stays, dropping in multiple times a day, and just going for walks; I am comfortable with all of these options and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs!

“This was the second time I've had Divya drop in on my cat and I would keep coming back! She is very prompt and communicative and clearly spends a lot of quality time with clients' pets.”


“Lauren did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She was on time each day and communicated well, sending us pictures of our kitty every day.”

“George does such a great job with my little dog and makes me very comfortable while I am at work that he is being taken very good care of. I never worry about my dog while I’m away because I know he is in good hands with George. George always sends me great pictures of my baby too.”

“Justin was great! He was very quick to communicate about booking and visits! He was on-time and flexible for drop-in visits, and he provided great updates and photos of his time with Callie! They went for plenty of walks, and Justin spent extra time throwing the ball for her, and just relaxing at home for extra company while I was away! I will book again with Justin for my next trip! He did a fantastic job with Callie!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I have two cats of my own and started Rover because I truly miss having a dog around and love spending time with animals. I work full-time, but picked up Rovering to make some extra cash and also fullfill a dog-sized whole in my heart from living with them my whole life. I am available anytime after 4pm on weekdays and all hours on weekends. Because I have two cats at home, I currently only offer care in my clients’ homes. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs and want them to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve had pets in my life as long as I have been alive. My family and friends have trusted me to care for their animals on several occasions. During the day, I am a teacher, so if I can be trusted with children, I can definitely be trusted with your animal-child! Over the summer I will be working full time as a camp counselor, so most of my services will have to take place in the afternoon and evenings! I will not be offering services out of my own home, due to the matter that the animals are not my own, therefore I do not feel comfortable bringing your furbabies over!

Tony has been a consistent high performer when it comes to the care of our dog. I appreciate how in tune he is with our dogs' needs. He not only provides basic care giving, but also love and affection for our pup in my family's absence. I highly recommend him.

Valerie did a wonderful job watching Archie! She kept me updated with regular texts and sent pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Archie was well cared for and happy the whole time. I would absolutely recommend Valerie and would gladly book with her again!
