“Lindsay was such a great find, too good to be true! She walks my two leash- reactive dogs, fed them as asked, and let herself in and out carefully so they would not escape. So grateful we found her!”
“She was great with our cats and took the extra time to care for them. She followed all instructions for cat care and helped keep our cat’s food area clean (no easy feat since we have some messy eaters here haha). She was very attentive to detail with our pets. We were always kept up to date with how our cats were doing and felt comfortable working with her. Definitely would recommend this cat/dog sitter for your loved ones since she did a great job!! Thanks so much!”
“Another perfect getaway with Jennifer’s kind assistance. It’s such a relaxing experience to know our kitty is happy and cared for during our absence. It’s also wonderful to come home to a pristinely clean home. The professional-quality pics received are a bonus - one our whole family enjoys seeing during our time away. Thanks, Jennifer!!!”
“Meghan went above and beyond all my expectations! I was leaving for a trip, and our dog sitter called out sick. Meghan gladly accepted our Bubba at the last minute. She regularly checked in with us, showing where he had walked, how happy he was with his new companion, and, most importantly, that he always had company. She was very communicative and understanding of his needs as an old Bubba American Eskimo.I would highly recommend Meghan to anyone needing a care giver for their furry baby. Thank you so much Meghan you're truly the best!!”
“Christina was great! She was responsive and good and communicating her visit and how my cat was doing during her time watching her. She took great care of my cat while I was out of town.”
About: I have owned a dog for over 12 years, in addition to 3 cats, and have dog sit for friends and family many times. My dog is now elderly and requires additional care. I am comfortable cleaning up any messes that an animal leaves behind and have experience providing any additional care. I am currently doing an internship in the mornings, but I am free almost every afternoon/evening, with Thursday 4-5 being the exception. I am available on weekends as well. I ensure that not only their basic needs are met, but also that they are comfortable and happy. They receive lots of love and treats, with approval. I make sure that their spaces are clean and that they are as well.
“Thank you Kelsey! We appreciate your promptness and detailed notes from your visit with Teddy and Lola! Thank you for following our instructions! We will definitely contact you again !! Teddy and Lola were very happy in the photos! Thank you!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized, detail-oriented approach and years of hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve cared for everything from playful poodle mixes to large breeds like black labs, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy puppy or providing patient care for an older pet, I adapt to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their routine. Additionally, I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own—handling tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and managing trash day. Clients trust me not just because I care for their pets, but because I’m dependable, responsive, and go the extra mile to make sure everything is just right. I'm currently free majority of the time, weekdays and weekends. I do partake in tutoring services along with taking care of pets as well, but my schedule is flexible with all of those occurring. I will be a bit more busy when school starts up for me, but can still manage all responsibilites. I primarily care for pets in the comfort of their own home, as this helps them feel more relaxed and maintain their regular routines. While staying at a client’s home, I make sure to follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), walk times, and play routines. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and stimulation to keep them happy and calm while their owners are away. In addition to caring for pets, I keep the home tidy, bring in mail, water plants, and take out the trash as needed. My goal is to ensure both the pet and the home are well looked after, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I have a decade of experience caring for my bulldog who lived to be 13. After she passed I started looking after a neighbor’s Rottweiler and my sister-in-laws bulldog. I bring patience, reliability, and genuine empathy for dog parents. I know firsthand how hard it is to leave your pets behind, which is why I treat every dog as if they were my own-safe, loved, and cared for in the comfort of their own home. I can fit pet care seamlessly into my schedule, offering early morning and evenings walks or feedings. I’m also available on Friday, Saturday, and Sundays. I care for my pets by keeping them on a consistent schedule. Feeding and walking them at the same time each day to create stability and comfort. I avoid table scraps to maintain their health and always use pill pockets when giving medications, ensuring it’s an stress-free experience for them.
About: I love all animals! I want to be your pets favorite visitor. I am doing this side job because I, myself have my own fears of leaving my dog with a stranger who may not follow through with his routine or care for him as I would. I am super understanding of any behavioral issues and have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I am observant of animals and love to make them as comfortable and happy as possible. I have the utmost respect for animals and pet owners. I will always have integrity and follow through with what is asked of me. I promise to send lots of pictures and updates and I hope you will trust me with your fur babies <3 I have a flexible schedule, I am a college student and work a part time job. Usually I’m free 6 days out of the week sometime in the morning, noon and PM for a few hours. I have a fenced yard and two big boy dogs. One of them is an old man who lays around majority of the time and the other is my golden retriever 2 year old who will love to play and sleep.
About: For over 20 years, I've had the pleasure of caring for many wonderful dogs. To me, pets are family, and I believe they should be treated with love and respect. Some of my pet care experience includes feeding, walking, nail trimming, cleaning kennels, bathing, and exercising with dogs (as well as caring for cats, fish, and amphibians). I have taken pets to get veterinary services if needed and tended to their medical needs such as giving medication. Whether it's sticking to routines, getting exercise, or simply having a potty break, your fur child's comfort, happiness and safety is my top priority! My pet care services include walking and sitting for pets in their home, or drop-in visits. Since I live in a pet-free residence, I am not offering boarding services at this time. I currently work remotely, so I can be very flexible with my schedule. Safety is incredibly important to me. I will care for pets as owners see fit, and can follow guidelines for their care and your home. I value the wishes of pet owners and aim to build and maintain trust through good communication. I am comfortable handling small to big dogs, kittens and cats, and fish friends. I can provide in-home care at your residence, including using crates if needed. I can provide pet updates by sending pictures and videos through text/email, or through the app.
“Felt very comfortable after meeting with Elizabeth. She well cared for my dog. She sent pictures and updates twice a day. Took dog for walks. Could not have asked for a better sitter. Will definitely use Elizabeth again....”
“We were so grateful to have Jennylyn take care of our cat while we were out of town. She responded to our messages promptly and kept us updated with regular photos and reports. Our cat can be quite sassy, mischievous, and not always friendliest, but Jennylyn was very patient and handled things wonderfully. We felt at easy knowing our cat was in great hands. We'd definitely book with Jennylyn again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“Kiki is great. She was excellent with our dog and went the extra mile during her drop in visit. We will be asking Kiki back for more visits and you should feel confident in hiring her.”
About: Taken care of animals since I can remember (bunnies, dogs, cats). Volunteered with shelters and adoption events too. Neighbors, friends and family rely on me to care for their pets day or night- I absolutely LOVE spending time with animals and giving them all the attention they deserve. Currently have a senior German shepherd/lab breed named YOLO!! I am a full time college student who’s semester just ended so I have my schedule wide open to take care of your pups any day any time!! Since I will be caring for pets in your homes I will abide by any instructions provided. If they can be let loose and roam around we can do that! Need them in the crate? That can be done too. Anything you need from me can and will be done :)
About: I am looking so forward to providing walks, visits, and enrichment to your pets. My experience with dogs comes from a variety of sources, including raising puppies for a non-profit Service Dog organization; being half of a registered Therapy Team with my big black Lab, Checkers; and loving and caring for my own beloved dogs for the last 17 years. I have worked as a canine enrichment tech at a pet resort, providing walks and other forms of enrichment, such as bubbles, puzzles, interactive toys, and revisiting basic commands, for dogs that needed more frequent or individualized attention than the standard board and care and playgroups could provide. I'm happy to bring this to your dogs, too. I am a Fear Free-Certified Pet Professional, and a Certified Dog Trainer-Comprehension, as well. I am able to work early mornings through noon on most days. And when I say early, I mean even earlier than you're probably even imagining. I have a fenced yard and a split-level home, and can easily crate your dog, or give them a separate, cozy space of their own.
“Kallie and Adam were wonderful. They took the time to get to know our dogs and left perfect notes on their visit. This was our first time using them and not the last.”
About: I am a proud pet owner of 4 and me and my family love them so much. I have been the one in the house to train them, walk them, feed them, and play with them. Giving them a space they love and feels safe means everything to me and I hope I can carry that into every home and animal I meet. Please feel free to leave a review after my services. ☺️☺️ Thank you!! I am currently a part- time worker at Coldstone Creamery and I am not a current student. My time only juggles between home and work so whenever I am home, I care for and enjoy time with my pets. When I am not home, my other family members are always there for them. All of my animals are mainly in door pets. I walk my dogs every day but for the cats, we stay in and play with all their toys. My dogs love going on picnic dates or coming with me to get my coffee and bagel down the street. I love teaching them tricks and showing them off to people outside.

Amy W.
“Amy and I have worked together on many occasions related to pets and house sitting. She gets all tasks done efficently, and consistently goes above and beyond and leaves a lasting impression with whomever she cares for. Her reliability makes her the perfect person to trust with your home and pet. I confidently recommend her for any home/pet caring needs.”
Edith E.
“Edith has been such a positive influence on me, especially when it comes to caring for dogs. She’s incredibly kind and playful, but what really stands out is how attentive and intuitive she is with animals—especially English Bulldogs, who require special care. Edith just knows the little signs—when a dog is thirsty, too hot, or needs a break—and adjusts things to keep them comfortable and safe. Watching her is how I learned to care for my own dog. When she pet-sat Bella, it was like sending her to a second home. Edith always had her water bowl ready, treats on hand, pads in place—everything Bella needed. Bella absolutely loved her and would light up the moment she saw Edith at the door. Knowing she was with someone who truly cared made all the difference.”
Emmilene G.
“Emmilene gavin and i have been bestfriends for as long as i can remember. She’s a gentle woman with a huge passion for caring for animals. And loves them! She has a dog herself and i truly believe she is the best dog mom ive ever encountered. Shes very active and loves to get her steps in so i think dog walking would be very beneficial. Her dog was in an accident and she spent so much time and energy nursing him into the good boy he is today, I dont question at all whether she would be a good caregiver to these pets!”
Brionna D.
“Always amazing, the best!!”
Nicole L.
“I have know Nicole for nearly 10 years now and I've never met someone as passionate about dogs and animals. From the time we met she happily offered to take care of and spend time with my two older dogs, Shadow and Bob that had been with me since childhood. She was so considerate with both Bob and Shadow and took extra care to make them comfortable in their old age. Then when I moved out and my parents got a new puppy that grew bigger than they expected, Nicole happily took care of a rambunctious Oliver as well. At first, my parents were impressed that Nicole would offer to give Oliver baths as well as walk him. Then their hearts melted watching how good she was with him and that Oliver looked forward to getting baths from Nicole because she made it a spa service for a dog instead of something scary that he used to dread. She has also shown great care taking care of my cousins older dog Joe until he passed away. Then when my cousin adopted a new dog, Delilah, Nicole did a great job taking care of Delilah even though she had separation anxiety with her new owner. Between all of these dogs that I've seen Nicole get to know over the years, she also spent time volunteering to get cats adopted by taking care of them in a multitude of ways in the shelter and setting them up for success beyond the shelter in their new homes”

Regina H.
“Regina is an absolutely phenomenal dog walker and caregiver! Her dedication to our furry friends is unmatched—she treats every dog with the love, attention, and care they deserve. Regina is always punctual, reliable, and goes above and beyond to ensure our pups are happy and healthy. Whether it’s a brisk walk, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, she tailors her approach to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Her communication is fantastic, providing updates and adorable photos that brighten our day. Regina’s deep understanding of canine behavior and genuine passion for animals make her a true gem. Our dog's adores her, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind she brings. Highly recommend Regina to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving caregiver for their pet!”

Kate C.
“I met kate through work a few years ago and she offered to watch my two dogs and two cats while my family took a trip. We came back to our perfectly happy, healthy babies and Kate even sent pics whenever we were missing them. Even now, 2 years later, my family and I rely on her to watch over our 2 cats when we are out of the house. Knowing that Kate has dogs and cats of her own that she loves and cherishes puts me at ease when I leave her to pet sit.”
The Plaza pet parents share their Rover experiences
I'll start with a big WOWZA! My little Lemon tend to be pretty shy, but she immediately took to Morgan in a way that I seldom see her interact with people she's just met! I was out of town for five days, but I did not worry about my babe once. Morgan sent photos and videos every time she visited Lemon, and I could feel her warm heart radiating through each message. I love my girl, but it's always so heartwarming to see someone else love and care for my girl. I will definitely return to Morgan the next time I am going out of town. Lemon demands it because she just LOVES HER!!!! 10/10 A++++!!!
Kennedy was such a great sitter! I needed a last minute sitter and he was able to help me check in on my 13 year old pug all week. He gave her lots of love and provided updates. As a pet sitter myself, I 100% recommend Kennedy and his services. Reliable, friendly, and a true pet lover!
