“Both our yorkies are on meds and one is on a special diet. Brigit did great with the meds and feeding. I feel the dogs were well cared for the week we were away.”
“Monica took amazing care of our cat. We came home to a happy and content kitty. We loved getting daily photos to be able to see him while we were away.”
“Lucy was awesome with Lola. It was very comforting to me to know that she was home being taken care of while I had to be away. I’ll never use a kennel again after our experience with Lucy! She’s a wonderful young lady, and will definitely contact her again in the future.”
“My cat adored Ali. They played and cuddled, and of course Ali fed her well and groomed her and took good care of her and the house. She reliably kept her appointments for two weeks and sent me great photos and messages twice a day. I will absolutely use Ali's services again!”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent, caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys. I currently share my home with two lovable pups, and I’m also a proud grandparent to three grand-doggies and one grand-kitten—yes, it's a full and furry family! With years of personal experience and a genuine passion for animals, I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every walk and pet check-in. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, including senior dogs needing a little extra love—whether it’s administering medications, helping with mobility, or just providing that gentle, loving presence they deserve. Before diving into pet care full-time, I was an elementary school teacher, which means patience, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own—with kindness, care, and lots of tail wags! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently, I am available for drop ins and walks two times per day. This summer, my schedule is far more open and could easily fit additional times, as needed. I would follow whatever directions/guidelines are provided for me so that your pet(s) routines are kept as close to what they are used to as possible.
“Christie was absolutely amazing with Kitty. She brushed her and gave her lots of attention. Kitty really enjoyed Christie’s company. I would definitely have her come in and watch kitty and my dogs. She gave me peace of mind leaving Kitty for 9 days. Thank you Christie.”
“I am truly so grateful to have Valarie to help take care of my dogs when I’m away at work. She has been a perfect fit. She has not only been amazing with my fur babies, but to me as well. She has been communicative, more than accommodating with my changing schedule as a healthcare provider, trustworthy, and reliable. She has made me feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend her!”
“Rachel was fantastic! She kept all our kitties happy and healthy while we left town for 3 days. Wonderfule to get pictures of her visits so we could see their cute faces and that they were good.🤍thank you Rachel”
“wonderful job once again. Second time I’ve used Alyssa and my cat Max has already started accepting her. He is normallyquite picky and usually afraid of everyone.”
“Melissa did a wonderful job watching our cats while we were out of town. She played with them, fed them, brought in my packages and watered my plants 😀 so very grateful!”
“We officially hired David on rover and as always everything was great. The cats love him and were all so happy. Everything was taken care of properly and as asked. Can’t recommend enough. I also appreciate that there is no extra charge for having more than one cat. It’s never made sense to me that I have to pay someone coming into my home for the same half hour block of time more just because we have more than one pet. Thanks so much!”
“Celine did everything i asked, and my cat was well cared for. Celine was able to come at the same time every day to help keep everyone in schedule. We'll be happy to have Celine help us again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life — from playful puppies to older dogs who need extra patience and care. I’m confident handling big breeds, and I know how to read animal body language to keep them safe, happy, and relaxed. What sets me apart is how much I truly pay attention to each pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, a slow walk, or just some quiet cuddle time, I adjust to them. I also make sure to keep you updated with regular pics and messages so you know your pet is in good hands. If your pup has special needs, anxiety, or is still learning — I’ve got you. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I work part-time Thursday through Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. My schedule allows me to give pets lots of attention before and after work, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect I’d want for mine. I follow your pet’s routine closely — from feeding and walks to crate time or medications if needed. I always keep a close eye on pets, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I also send regular updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. If your dog is staying with me, they’ll be in a calm, clean, and loving environment with plenty of space to relax and feel at home. Safety is always my top priority.
“Joel was great with our cats. He even got our shy one to stick around and not hide in the bathroom. And he gave us a heads up about an exterior leak after it rained.”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was a kid. Friends and family have always asked me to watch them. I never had any issues. I am currently working part time so I am available a lot of the time. Evenings would be best for me, can do weekends also. I always watch the animals and don't leave them unsupervised. I will always go with what the animal wants to do. I won't push them.
About: My name is Kevin, I have been a dog lover since before I could speak. I am 24 and grew up in Taylor Ranch where I rescued more dogs than I could count. I am new to this specific site but not new to pet sitting. I have multiple locations, with or without other dogs. I am very excited to be able to take care of /play with/ and train dogs part time. Happy to answer any questions!

Taylor Ranch pet parents share their Rover experiences
Andrea is the best. She is so caring and took wonderful care of my senior dog Gus. He has special needs and Andrea is very mindful of them. She is very organized and communicative. She provides pictures and updates. If you need a great Housesitter look no further!
I hired Melissa recently and was very happy with her work. She sent me tons of pictures of my kitties while I was away and even my shy kitty warmed up to her quickly. It was very nice knowing my cats were in such good hands while I was away. 10/10 would hire again.
Ceara unfortunately stepped into a lousy situation when she agreed to sit for our 3 cats. We had just had one die from illness and another was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. While the cat had antibiotics on board, she was still not urinating like a healthy cat. The cat is also afraid and anxious, so it was difficult to find her for a picture. We were worried sick, so Ceara asked if she should go back until she found the cat. It was late, so we told her to go next day. She did track down the cat who was obviously alive and scared, but we could at least relax for the duration of our stay away.
Highly recommend. Margaret was great with both my high energy pittie and my super skittish boxer mix. She kept me updated and sent lots of cute pictures. She even went above and beyond by noticing that it was trash day and taking the trash out for me. It’s always stressful leaving my dogs behind while I travel, but Margaret eased my concerns. I would definitely use her again!
Jody is so lovely and sweet! They took the time to learn about Rudy and his quirks and separation anxiety, and then ask how they could help with the process. They took amazing notes and provided me with a lot of feed back. It’s always a pleasure to work with Jody and I’m glad to have someone who can help me when I need a doggy babysitter! Much appreciated!
I am beyond impressed with Patrick and calm demeanor. He did amazing with our pack and they took to him very quickly and we have a pack 4 pups and our chicken's We received notification from him getting to our home and at the end of the visit as well, received pictures of everyone. We all want an amazing sitter I believe we found that in Patrick. I will definitely be a repeat.
