“Zack was absolutely amazing with my two dogs while I was away for a few days. My German Shepherd mix isn’t the easiest dog to care for, but Zack went above and beyond to make sure both of my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. He’s responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Zack to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking him again in the future!”
“Heather did a last minute drop in visit for us today and we could not be more grateful! Our little Charlie Girl was so happy to see her for potty and food time. Thank you, Heather!”
About: I have a lifelong passion for animals and believe pets are family members deserving of dedicated, thoughtful care. Since the age of 12, I have had cats of my own and have regularly provided comfort and care for friends' and family's cats as well, giving me years of hands-on experience with feline behavior and needs. In 2020, I helped raise my family's golden retriever from puppyhood, managing crate training, obedience training, daily exercise, grooming, and all aspects of routine care. She turns 7 in January 2027, and I have supported her needs through every stage of life. I recently provided care for a 17-year-old small dog with heightened attention needs and separation anxiety, ensuring he stayed comfortable, calm, and well supported. I also share my home with two cats, ages 4 and 1, which has given me ongoing, daily experience with animals of varying ages, temperaments, and energy levels. When you entrust your pet to me, you can expect a consistent routine, attentive supervision, and regular photo updates so you always know how they are doing. Working part-time from home gives me the flexibility to build pet care into my everyday routine. I'm available Tuesday through Saturday for at-home care, both day and night, so I can be attentive to feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs throughout the whole day rather than just squeezing visits in around a fixed schedule. This flexibility also means I can respond quickly if a pet needs extra attention or company. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routine closely, including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and engaged, while providing attentive companionship, especially for anxious or senior pets.
“Great communication and care with our kitties. We received pictures and daily updates! The house was clean when we got home. We will definitely be booking with Debbie again!”
“I was so nervous to leave my 17 year old cat alone for the first time in his life but Brittany took the BEST care of him. She took so many pics and videos of him and I could tell how much he loved her. He would meow more greeting her than us even haha I couldn’t recommend Brittany enough she is amazing, reliable, and so trustworthy. She was so affectionate towards my cat and he needs his rubs and butt pats like he needs food. She even saved my mom’s car from being towed from a spot in our neighborhood which was above and beyond! I will definitely be booking with her anytime we need a sitter again in the future!”
About: I have had a pet dog or cat ever since I was born. I have had experience with pets at a variety of ages, including very young, and super seniors, such as 20. Depending on the times that you may need sitting, I am available to come early in the morning, feed to your specifications, and do a variety of other pet caring chores. If your pet requires lots of play to get energy out, that is something I more more than happy to do. I have helped care for a variety of age groups and energies. Theres a big difference in the work required for an active puppy, and an aging friend.
“Lara was a great sitter! She watched our cat over the holidays and sent lots of photos. She was communicative and quick to respond. We’d definitely have her watch our cat again!”
About: I’ve taken care of family and friend’s pets for a few years. I have worked with a trainer so I have some knowledge of positive reinforcement training. I am not working at this time so my schedule is very flexible. I can stay at your home the full time you are away or just do drop ins. Whatever you need. I do not offer care in my home but will be happy to stay with your pets at your home which puts your pets in a more comfortable environment.
“Amazing experience — our doggie loved Angela. She is super kind and caring and kept us in the loop throughout the drop in visit. I look forward to working with her again.”
About: The last two dogs I had were the best pets I've ever had, one in particular I took everywhere, hiking, running, swimming and even to play basketball. I feel like every dog owner should expose their dogs to many outside environments, something other than there backyard or house. As an owner I believe that dogs should be treated more than just a convenient stress reliever. Dogs can be your closest friend so they ought to be cared for and treated like a great one. What I bring to the table is a genuine love for all dogs and an understanding of their needs. I can be fairly flexible on weekdays for visits and walks, but am mostly available only in the afternoon. Weekends, I am pretty much always available. House sits I can do any day of the week. To start off, I always start off by caring for the pet as outlined by the owner (routines, feeding schedules, medications, things to avoid, walks). But in addition to that, I like to have some fun with the dogs that I sit. I will play with them a bit and in general just hang out with them.
About: Hello! 🐾 Working with animals has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs and cats, including experience in dog grooming, working in a veterinary clinic, and providing professional pet-sitting services. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and truly dedicated to providing the best care possible for every pet I look after. I love going the extra mile for my clients and making sure their fur babies feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re away. Whether that means taking the pups on fun little field trips and adventures or simply staying home, cuddling, and keeping them company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. 🐶💕 Your pets are family, and I treat them that way! 🐾🌸🩷 Feel free to send me a message so we can set up a meet-and-greet. I’d absolutely love the opportunity to meet you and your fur baby! ☺️🐶🐾💕 I have a very flexible schedule and am able to work around each client’s individual needs and routine. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules, whether that means daily visits, overnight stays, walks, or simply providing companionship and care while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. When caring for pets, I like to learn as much as possible about their individual routines and needs so I can provide the best care possible. I like to know their feeding schedule, any medications they may be taking, and whether there are any behavioral or special needs I should be aware of. I also take into consideration their age, whether they are a puppy, kitten, adult, or senior, as some pets may need a little extra attention, patience, or care. For every pet-sitting arrangement, I also appreciate having an emergency contact and the information for their regular veterinarian or a nearby emergency vet, just in case something unexpected happens. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for just as they would be at home.
About: Born and raised in southern California, I have always had a love of all animals. From dog sitting my neighbor's dog over the holidays, to caring for our many family pets over the years. I've been in the veterinary field for 21 years in both general and emergency practices. I have also spent several years in doggy daycare. I have a deep love all animals and enjoy caring for them. I can take care of most medical needs in both cats and dogs including oral, topical and injectable medications. I would love to care for your pet or pets so that you can focus on the things at hand or enjoy a holiday. Feel free to message me with any questions! Cheers! I'm currently working full-time at a veterinary hospital 5 days a week (M-F 8a-5p and Sat 8a-3p) and am available for care when not working. I don't do boarding in my home but in your home I would care for your pet as if they were my own loved one.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life from cats and dogs to bunnies and guinea pigs. My home was always privileged to have pets when I was growing up and now as an adult I’ve chosen to care for my own as well. I absolutely love animals and see them as more than just pets. These babies are family and I will always do my best to make sure your pet receives maximum comfort and care. I am skilled in caring for both young and old fur babies and I am able to follow any specific needs for whatever your baby requires.

My goal is to be available to come drop-in or have an extended stay over the course of the day or night with your fur babies. I am able to follow feeding and potty break schedules and I can also administer medication if needed. Your fur babies will always feel safe and loved while under my care. I would never do anything to compromise the safety or trust of my clients or their pets. I understand that these animals are mentally and emotionally intelligent and I will always treat your booking as I’d like a sitter to treat mine.

Super appreciate Brittany, she steps in to save the day when other sitters cancel last minute, she communicates every step of the way even when not hearing from me, sticks around to see that my avoidant cats get a little attention, and just really cares. Thanks again Brittany!
Kendall is absolutely awesome! From the amazing meet and greet to the special care he gave both of my ragdoll‘s Raja and Bleu while I was out of town was top-notch. I never had to worry his communication was thorough and I truly appreciated it. My girls were safe and I definitely will use Kendall for my next out of town trip. Thank you so much.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
