About: My entire life has consisted of dogs and cats in the house and I love my furry pals. Currently co-parenting two senior dogs. Can teach sit, lay, stay and better walking habits. Also experience with animal home check-ups, feeding meds and little play dates. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I'm a stay-at-home artist with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily work in a few pet care clients throughout the week or weekend. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or extended stays, I can usually adapt my day to meet your pet’s needs. Let’s chat and see how I can help! I always aim to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible by sticking closely to their usual routine—feeding times, walks, play, medications, and all the little things that help them feel secure while their humans are away. When I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and thoughtful about your pet’s environment. I take the time to understand their personality, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Whether it's giving extra love to a senior pet, administering meds, or just keeping a shy cat company, I care for every animal like they’re my own. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands.
“Robin was excellent! She watched our dog and cat for 10 days and was very attentive to them and showed them love while we were away. We felt confident that they were in good hands with her. We would definitely love to have Robin watch them again in the future.”
“Michaela did a great job caring for my lab mix Danny during our week long vacation. She kept me informed and sent daily updates and a picture. Upon arrival home the house was all in order and in great shape. I will definitely book Michaela again for another trip!”
“Amanda was a great sitter for our 2 border collies. She kept us updated and all was great upon our return. Monsoons caused nervous dogs and a power outage, Amanda was a trooper through all of it. We would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. For the past 5 years, I’ve raised and cared for my own dog; providing daily walks, consistent training, and lots of love. Before that, I spent 4 years dog sitting for friends, neighbors, and family, gaining experience with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and needs. I’m confident handling everything from energetic puppies to older dogs with special routines. Safety, consistency, and affection are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I don’t start my new job until early November so I currently am very flexible with my time at the moment and can accommodate accordingly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or yours, I prioritize comfort and routine. I follow each pet’s individual care plan closely including feeding schedules, walk times, medication (if needed), and favorite activities. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and strive to maintain your dog’s normal routine to minimize stress. In my home, pets have a calm, clean environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and receive attention. I keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Ash is a dream sitter. I really appreciated how communicative she is and my pup adored her from the first minute they met. She also helped take care of my plants while I was gone for 2.5 weeks and was even able to stay an extra night when my flight was canceled. Thank you for taking such loving care of my baby!!”
About: I am a devoted animal lover and have spent my entire life living with and caring for pets. I have experience working at a veterinary clinic and a lot of experience caring for senior dogs. Taking care of animals nurtures me just as much as I nurture them. Friends and family have always trusted me to look after their pets whenever they are away. I provide regular photo and text updates to keep pet owners reassured. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet to see if we’re a good fit! Rover is my full-time job and I have a lot of free time! My day is always planned around pet care including dog walks, grooming and training. I love caring for pets and I have all day to spend with yours! I tailor my care to meet the specific needs of each pet individually. My priority is to make your pet as comfortable as possible. I always take special care to consider their specific feeding schedules, any special dietary needs, exercise routines/preferences and behavioral tendencies. I am always professional and compassionate regardless of where I am caring for pets.
“What a wonderful experience with Marnesha. She took care of Rowdy while I was on a mini-vacation. When I came back, Rowdy told me he felt like he was on vacation under Marnesha's care. He is an elder pup and Marnesha made sure he got all his required medicines and vitamins. You will not be disappointed with the care that her and her beautiful dog, Sebastian, will provide. Thank you Marnesha.”
“Thank you for watching Ollie and Sparky! Dylan is gentle and reliable. Sparky, who is generally skittish around men, warmed up to him quickly. Ollie and Sparky loved their morning and evening walks, outside play time, and indoor cuddles and lounging. We would recommend Dylan to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Karen and Brennan are super nice people and my 2 girls adored them! I would highly recommend them as they were very prompt with all messages and sent me many pics of them and the girls having a great time. They stayed at my home and were very clean and tidy. I can’t say enough good things about them. You will be happy using them as your dog sitter ?”

Monique L.
“My dog is a two year old mini poodle who has had a pretty rough beginning. I adopted him at our local animal control center in February. Monique (Mo) has such a wonderful patient way of working with Lucky, Mo's voice can be either playful or in teaching mode. She praise my dog constantly. Mo taught him to "sit" in a very short time, using some treats. I have followed up with Lucky on walks, but, in effect, without treats. He holds treats in his mouth so treats are given when we get home. I bought a set of boots for Lucky for protection on our terribly hot pavements and desert rocks and stickers. He took about 3 seconds to get them off when I fastened them. But with Mo, he was willing to keep them on in the house, Walking in that high legged, convulsive, floppy fashion, Mo took him for a walk in the neighborhood. They came back in half an hour with Lucky walking normally and seeming proud of it. Its a work in progress, I can get the boots on him and have him walk around the house, but I haven't tried a long walk yet. Mo has my complete confidence and trust in her abilities with dogs. Rose F”

Thunderbird Heights-Wilmot Desert pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cerise took excellent care of our two little dogs for a week. The oldest one needed to be evaluated on whether she needed an additional dose of a medication and Cerise had the expertise make that judgement. I feel she can be trusted to understand what our dogs need and provide the right amount of attention. The house was clean and the dogs were happy when we returned. She will be our first choice when we need a dog sitter again.
We can’t say enough great things about Sonya! She sent us twice-daily pictures and updates about our dogs and they were clearly loving all the attention! Sonya asked us if we wanted additional details and about our communication preferences. When our flights delayed our return, she didn’t hesitate to help us by staying over which was a huge relief! Our home was very well- cared for. We would definitely rebook with Sonya and highly recommend her cate. Our two Golden’s clearly loved her!
Dee did a fantastic job taking care of my dog and two cats in my home for 10 days. The animals were happy and content, as the daily photos showed, and my house plants did well, too. I will definitely use him again when I have to leave my pet family at home and feel confident that everything will be well cared for.
Mary was amazing! She stayed with my dog while I was out of town and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was warm, responsible, and incredibly communicative—especially when a minor health issue came up. She kept me updated, handled everything with care, and made it so easy for me to relax and enjoy my trip without worrying. She also sent the sweetest photo updates that showed just how happy and comfortable my pup was. I’d absolutely trust Mary to care for my dog again and Nori (my dog) would be thrilled to have her back!
Thank you for watching Ollie and Sparky! Dylan is gentle and reliable. Sparky, who is generally skittish around men, warmed up to him quickly. Ollie and Sparky loved their morning and evening walks, outside play time, and indoor cuddles and lounging. We would recommend Dylan to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
We used Kayla as an in-home dog sitter for our dog while we away on vacation. Kayla was absolutely fantastic with our rescue pup, who can be reactive and fearful of new people. Kayla was very patient with our dog when first meeting her and demonstrated a great understanding of our dog's nonverbal cues, and our dog warmed up to and felt comfortable with Kayla very quickly. We appreciated Kayla's pics and updates. We have been searching for a long time for a new dog to sitter to be in home with our dog when we travel, and we have found a wonderful fit. Our dog. and home were very well taken care of. We have already booked Kayla to stay with our pup again.
10/10! Julia took such great care of our 2 dogs while house sitting for us. Would absolutely recommend to anyone with a senior dog that requires extra attention. Great at communication & sending updates! Very trustworthy & just a genuinely nice person. Will 100% book again!
Elly was the absolute best! She took amazing care of both my dog and cat, she was very thorough with the instructions given. She also cleaned up and made the house look nicer than we left it! My pets were super happy, fed and hydrated. Overall amazing pet/ house sitter!
Shantell is wonderful. She looked after our two dogs, and house, for five days, and went above and beyond in all respects. The dogs had never been left before and we were worried about it, but from first meeting, Shantell inspired confidence. She has a calm and warm energy that our nervous chihuahua (who is usually afraid of people) responded to immediately. She even found music he likes and made him a calming playlist ❤️ We are neurotic dog owners with a long list of detailed instructions which Shantell took on, including very early morning walks to beat the heat, and a three-meals a day schedule. Shantell kept us updated with regular photos, videos and messages. We can’t recommend Shantell highly enough. Thank you for making our trip an unexpectedly worry-free experience! Marcus and Princess will miss you!
We couldn’t be happier with our experience! As self-admitted helicopter dog parents, we’re pretty particular when it comes to our pups—but Jayden followed all of our instructions to a T and made us feel completely at ease. She was also incredibly flexible, stepping in on fairly short notice, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, our dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we got home—always the best sign! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Marie is a miracle worker! She went above and beyond to care for my pups! My very hesitant deaf dog welcomes her with joy! Thanks so much Marie! You jumped in last minute, communicated incredibly, and felt like a true support while I was across the world more than once! Those who read this - PLEASE MEET MARIE!
The absolute best sitter for my fur babies! He was super attentive and caring towards my dogs and sent me updates to put me at ease throughout my trip. Followed my instructions with their medications, eating/sleeping schedules, potty breaks, you name it! I always have a hard time being away from my girls but I know now I can trust him to take care of them anytime I book him!
Jasmine did a fantastic job taking care of our dog, Kaylee, and our freshwater and saltwater aquariums. She kept us up to date throughout our trip, and we had great peace of mind as a result. We would highly recommend her to anyone considering her petsitting services.
