“Nicole is wonderful! She is great at communicating and is so sweet to our puppy. We were a little worried about using rover for our first time but we are now so happy as she has exceeded our expectations :)”


About: What sets me apart is my active lifestyle and genuine love for animals. I run with my dog every morning, enjoy outdoor adventures, reinforce basic commands, and provide patient, attentive care. As a new sitter, I’m reliable, eager to learn, and committed to treating every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work only three days a week (Saturday, Sunday, and Monday), so I’m fully available and flexible Tuesday through Friday. I stay very active, enjoy daily exercise, and have plenty of time to give pets consistent attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the week. When caring for pets in my home, I provide close supervision and a safe environment. I have a small yard and always keep a close eye on dogs during potty breaks. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain their normal schedule, and make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times.
“Spencer has been doing daily dog walking for our two dogs for the past couple months and is reliable and responsive. He is great with our pups and would recommend him to anyone!”


“Karilou is probably the best dog walker Gus and I've had. He adores her. One day I stayed home from work and forgot to contact Karilou. Gus knew she was coming before I did. When she arrived a was so glad because I was too sick to walk Gus. I thought he was going to knock her over he was so happy to see her. Thanks Karilou! I know Gus is always happy to spend time with you!”

“Savannah was excellent! I appreciated how thorough she was and how she put so much care and intention into caring for my dog, Yuki! We scheduled a meet and greet beforehand so that we could go over some details and get acclimated with each other. On the day of the walk, she followed all of the instructions and sent some cute photos from the walk. Will definitely be working with Savannah again soon!”

“Tatum has been looking after my very stubborn golden retriever and is just the best. This is the first time I have left him and she has done such a great job. I would highly recommend her for any of your pets needs!! It’s also a plus when your baby loves them too! 💕”

About: I have experience with dogs, cats and exotic animals! I’m currently studying for my Vet Vetch certificate, and own exotic animals my own. My 2 lovely birds and snake are spoiled and thriving. I go to school 6-10 pm tuesdays and Thursday’s so I have all morning- afternoon! On sundays it may vary. Monday, Wednesday and Friday may depend on my work schedule (but mostly flexible throughout the day!) feel free to DM me or ask any questions! As any furry parent I can be very paranoid when it comes to my babies! All of them have baby monitors so I can check on them while we work/school. I make sure they get all their nutrient needed, both with supplements and food! Aaaand last but not least they get a vet checkup every 6 months!
About: I have taken care of my family's pets for a decade, including senior cats and puppies. For a few months now I have been caring for two birds. I have full availability, and open holidays too. I have a part-time job but last minute schedulings are welcome. Preferably 7 AM through 10 PM. I take pride in maintain a pet's feeding and walking schedules while caring for their enrichment and entertainment. I do my best to ensure pets have clean water and, in the case of cats, clean litter boxes.
About: I’m a veterinary assistant with 20+ years of experience. I would love to take care of your fur babies and have veterinary assistant medical experience. I take medical cases and non medical cases. Oral or Injectable Medications? No problem! Fluids for your Kitty? No problem! Senior pets? No Problem! Whatever your needs are… it’s no problem! Looking to move more into independent contractor hours and set my own schedule while working with yours!! I provide individualized care while you are traveling or at work! I have two friendly dogs at home and 3 cats that don’t mind dogs! I live in a gated community that has no fenced yard. It’s all common area but leashed walks are always available. Cats won’t be let outside (unless we are at your house and that is how you do it) and dogs will be walked on a leash. Fluffy is safe and I’m flexible on your requirements in your home. Of fluffy plays in your yard then that’s what we will do. Like I said… individualized care for your best fur baby.
“Jennifer is great and I plan on booking her again! My anxious doggo took right to her! She communicates well, leaves helpful reports and responds to questions promptly. She is conscientious and follows instructions well. Best of all she really seems to enjoy the animals she works with and treats them as individuals. 10/10 Highly recommended!”

About: I have taken care of dogs eight years of my life! I have also have dogs along the way as i’ve grown up as well as seeing dogs everyday at my old job at Dutch Bros Coffee. Neighbors and friends have trusted me with their animals. I have noticed dogs and cats often feel safe with me quickly and i feel that it’s due to their ability to sense a humans positive energy. My goal is to make your dog or cat feel safe and loved as their owner does and it’s a perk for me because I get to spend time with an animal!! I do school full time but that is fully online so I can be fully available for that. And depending on pay and your schedule, i would be working at another job and would adjust my hours accordingly to fit your needs. I know how scary it can be to trust your animal with a stranger let alone trust that they will be there enough to attend to the dogs/cats needs but that would be my priority and im flexible!!! The services will definitely depend on the owners wishes. I will live with other dogs in my home so it would be a better idea to take care of the animal in the owners home to prevent any conflict with different animals. Again, i’m flexible.
“Jessica was great with my puppy Theo! I booked her for a walk without meeting first and she had no problem getting him out for a 45 min walk, and he can be very stubborn. Thank you Jessica, we will definitely consider booking again!”
About: From hike, treats, play dates and long runs. Be prepared for your pup to be well stimulated and exercised while you’re away. Fair warning, they may have a better vacation than yours ;) What sets me apart from your normal sitter is not just my love for dogs, but also my experience and special skills. Growing up I had a wonderful dog named Rosco who brought so much joy to my family for his 12 years on this planet. Although he's no longer with us, his goofy spirit lives on in our hearts. I want to spread that love and take care of other beautiful dogs, just like I did with Rosco. I have a knack for training puppies and providing dedicated care for senior dogs. I'll make sure to give your furry friend all the attention, love, and fun they deserve. Can't wait to meet them! 🐶💕 ****Please due note at this time I cannot accommodate dogs with severe separation anxiety that are prone to any excessive howling or barking out of respect for my neighbors******** Well, as a dog sitter, pet care is a top priority for me!

I make sure to give them plenty of love and attention, just like they would receive from their own family. Whether it's in my home or theirs, I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾❤️

About: Hi! I’m Kate 😊 I’m a gentle and caring animal lover with about 6 years of pet care experience. I currently care for a cat and previously had a British Shorthair, so I’m familiar with different cat personalities and routines. I also have past experience caring for dogs, though I no longer have one due to moving and space limitations. I only take one pet at a time, follow each cat’s routine closely, and send regular photo updates. I’m home most of the time, so your pet will get plenty of attention. While I’m newer to Rover, I’m responsible, communicative, and truly enjoy caring for pets 🐾 I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and supervision. Your pet will rarely be left alone and will always be cared for in a calm, consistent routine. I provide a clean, quiet, and safe home environment. I only take one pet at a time, so your pet will never be around unfamiliar animals. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep doors and windows secure, and pay close attention to your pet’s comfort and safety at all times. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.

Jazmin did a great jobs with my pups especially on short notice. She took the time to come by to meet them in advance even though it was over a holiday. She was relaxed and confident with them and took good care of them. I would definitely book her again. Thank you!
