About: I've had all kinds of pets my whole life, cats, dogs, rodents of all shapes and sizes! Picky eater? No problem! Frequent walks? I got you! Senior with meds? I can be sneaky! Is your baby clingy? So is mine! No matter the pet, I do my darndest to make them as feel as loved as I can while they're missing their parents!! I graduated in May 2025, and have been Unemployed this whole time, so I have all the time in the world for your babies, weekends are a little harder, and I'll need more time in advance to plan, but I can do it!! I sadly can't bring animals into my home (reactive cat), but I will gladly take care of your animals in their space in your home, whether that means an overnight stay while you're out of town, or a check in every few hours!!
“Great communication and care with our cat & dog while we were out of town. Pulled our reclusive cat right out of her shell, kept our dog busy and well played with!”
“Kayla, as always, took great care of our pups. They are always excited to see her and go on walks with her. I forgot to leave supplements out and Kayla checked in with me to see if they were still taking them.”
About: I love animals. Cats, Dogs, guinea pigs, and fish. You name it, I think they're cool. I am diligent, trustworthy, and interested in keeping your pet happy. I've had pets of all sorts my entire life. I can understand from an owner's standpoint how relaxing it is to know your pets are in good hands. There's a level of calm that comes from this that I want to provide for your family. I am an independent contractor working from home and running a budding business in small-business financial care. Right now, my schedule is open as I build my business and am between contracts. I can be available on short notice (2-3 weeks' notice for each care contract). My household includes 2 dogs and 2 cats, whom I watch weekly while their pet parents are at work or in class. We go on daily walks and play often.
“Sam house/pup sit our two dogs while we spent the weekend in the mountains. She was very communicative and made sure that our pups got plenty of play time so that they would nap hard. We were so happy to have found her because sometimes I feel like our pups can be a handful. We can tell she’s very experienced and truly loves caring for doggos.”
“Juanita is AWESOME! She is so communicative and kind and we felt so at ease knowing she was watching our dog and cat. She sends daily updates with pictures and I could tell she genuinely loves hanging out with them. So excited that we have managed to find such a great sitter and can’t wait to use her again in the future! 😊”
“April house-sat for me for a week and took great care of my two dogs—they clearly enjoyed having her around. She was also thoughtful and attentive with details around the house; I had an Eldorado water delivery scheduled while I was away, and she made sure the empty bottles were out in time for pickup (which is more than I can say for myself 😅). I would happily book April again.”
About: I have had an interest in animals since before I could walk. Growing up watching animal planet over cartoons, I have always been fascinated by creatures of all shapes and sizes. From studying veterinary science, to volunteering at an animal shelter, to working at pet stores, and even reading current veterinary magazines and articles, I strive to continue my passion and involvement with animals. I have experience with complex feeding routines, medication application, as well as behavioral knowledge that I can apply to animals I care for. I am flexible and willing to accommodate your preferences and your pet's needs. I am a freelance artist who builds and manages their own schedule, with a desire to use my love for animals and knowledge of their care to take opportunities to get out of the house and do something I enjoy--- Meeting you and helping to take care of your baby! My schedule is flexible, I am easily able to work around your needs, especially on a repeat schedule. I do travel, but I always have ample notice, and will be able to inform you a month or two in advance if there is a conflict-- and plan a visit for my return! Comfort and safety are my top priorities when I care for your pet. I would love to meet you and your pet beforehand so that we can become familiar comfortably, and you can tell me all about your routines, preferences, and needs. I love to learn about my clients and what makes them happy!

Sydney was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our dog and cat. She communicated super clearly, was on time, sent photos, and even checked in when our pup was scared during a thunderstorm. She gave our dog’s tail a little wash when she peed on it! She also left the house in even better shape and left CUSTOM STICKERS of both pets!! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel so confident she will take excellent care of them in the future. We can’t wait to book Sydney again!
Gabrielle took great care of our two border collies and house while we were away for several days. Our dogs immediately were comfortable with her, especially our older dog who can have some stranger anxiety. She sent daily updates and we will definitely book with her again!
Elisiya was great staying at my home with my pets while I was away on vacation! I had never used Rover before and was initially nervous about being away, but felt totally comfortable in my home and in charge of my two dogs- one of which is still a puppy with lots of energy and the other a Saint Bernard with some leash reactivity. She was very clean and respectful of my home and kept me updated with the pets. I would highly recommend her and absolutely would book with her again!!!
Kim was fantastic! She took great care of our home, 2 dogs, and our cat for a week while we traveled internationally. She communicated well and I felt peace of mind knowing our home and fur family were being taken care of while we were away. Would definitely book again!
Isabel was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our house for a week and took such great care of Anakin and Odin. She made sure all of their needs were met, took them on walks, gave them plenty of playtime, and followed our feeding instructions exactly — which we really appreciated since they can be picky eaters. She also sent us lots of pictures and updates, which made us feel completely at ease knowing they were being well cared for while we were away. We’ll definitely be using Isabel again and will be sharing her contact with our friends. Highly recommend!
When booking a new Rover stay, you HOPE to find someone as courteous and responsible as Taylor. This was our first booking with Taylor. She house sat our two bulldogs and was absolutely wonderful. She is timely, communicative and caring. She followed instructions, left our home clean, and took amazing care of our doggies! She made our trip home easy and worry free. Thank you so much!
Emma helped us out when my trip had to be rescheduled for an urgent family health issue. She stayed overnight and also made sure that Lucy wasn't left alone for long stretches of time during the day, which was extremely helpful and appreciated. She was flexible and worked with me on ensuring Lucy's schedule was kept as consistent as possible, including working around an existing dog walking schedule (with a separate company) that I wanted to keep. The house was clean and Lucy was happy and healthy when I returned home! I would recommend Emma!
Maribel was such an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of our dog and our home! She provided lots of updates and pictures throughout her stay, and before watching our puppy, she graciously offered a meet and greet as well to make sure we felt comfortable. We will absolutely be asking Maribel to dog sit again in the future and highly recommend her.
