“I cannot recommend Meg enough! She took incredible care of my senior pup Cooper, treating them like family while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which really helped ease my mind. It was clear my pup was not only well cared for but truly happy—whether going on walks, getting bones and treat, or just snuggling up. Very grateful for all she did to keep my pup calm and comfortable.”
About: Pets have been around for my entire life! Ever since I could remember, i’ve been caring for all types of pets! Between my childhood dogs, my turtle, and my friends and families pets, it has become more than just a hobby, pet care is one of my genuine passions!!! I’m currently in between jobs so I will have all the time in the world to play with some puppers!!! I’m very mobile, so i’d be able to come on weekdays and weekends! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. At my home, I provide a clean and pet-friendly environment, fresh water, regular feeding on schedule, daily exercise, and plenty of playtime or snuggles depending on each pet’s personality. I also make sure they have a cozy space to rest and follow any special instructions such as medications or dietary needs. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. This may include feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water, and giving attention and affection. I’m also mindful of home security, like locking up properly and bringing in mail if requested. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free until their owner returns.
“Jaclyn was amazing and just what we were looking for in someone to watch our pups! We are new to the area and looking for a dog sitter has been tough, but Jaclyn was quick to respond, very experienced and super responsible with our dogs and house. We will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve taken care of all different kinds of dogs and cats since I was 13. I have 5 dogs and a cat of my own so I have experience of taking care of animals almost my whole life. I’m a volunteer at a cat shelter called Hissy Hut so I do have many experiences with cats and kittens. I always saw myself working with animals and I would absolutely love to do whatever i can to give the love and care that you and your pets need when you’re away from home! I’m currently working part-time for retail but will have lots of free time to take care of you and your pets. I’m available 3- 4 days a week! I have a large-fenced backyard so your pets will have lots of play time and potty breaks. I also have 4 small dogs that always have the energy to play and have fun, and 1 large senior dog that doesn’t really get along with only others dogs that she doesn’t know so we keep her crated when I dog-sit for your pets.
“Sierra was wonderful with both of our dogs and staying at our house to make sure the dogs were well cared for. She even helped us out preparing our house for an open house the weekend she was here and taking both dogs out for the couple hours the house was showing . Thank you so much Sierra for all of your help.”
“Adrianna did a wonderful job caring for my dog and two cats while I was away. She was communicative throughout the entire visit and kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear she was thorough and attentive to their routines and needs. When I returned, the house was in great order and all of my pets were happy and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her to watch them again in the future.”
“We had Allie cat sit for a week while away on vacation. She was great to have at our house. This was Allie's first time staying at our house, and we were a little nervous since you're essentially having a stranger in your house. Allie came to the house to meet us, and we felt good about having her stay there. She is easy to talk with, and you quickly feel comfortable having her watch your animals and your house. Every day Allie took pics of our cats and was a fantastic communicator. I only wish she had more availability so we could vacation more :) I highly recommend Allie! P.S. she even washed the sheets and towels and put everything back. Nothing like coming home to a clean house!”
“Whitney was so great! When my flight was delayed by 10 hours she was so kind and extremely helpful with staying longer with my dog. She’s the best!”

“Morgan was an amazing pet sitter and took great care of our cat while we were away. We are both vets and know that we can definitely be “extra” when it comes to being pet parents, but Morgan was very accommodating and made us feel very comfortable during the experience. She sent us update pictures and did well with communication over the whole trip. Henri seemed to really like Morgan too. He can sometimes be a little slow to warm up to people, but he appeared to warm up to Morgan quickly and liked to hang out with her. Since he is a cat with previous FLUTD signs (stress-related urinary issues), we were nervous about this experience, but Morgan did a great job being patient with Henri and making him comfortable and happy. We would definitely recommend Morgan to anyone needing a pet sitter and will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. My career goal is to become a veterinarian, and I have already spent the past few years working in both critical care and mixed-animal general practice. Through this experience, I’ve learned how to recognize subtle changes in an animal’s behavior or health and how to respond calmly and responsibly in a variety of situations. Beyond my professional experience, friends, family, and coworkers consistently trust me to care for their beloved four-legged family members—both big and small. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. My goal is to provide not only reliable pet sitting, but also peace of mind for pet owners who want someone experienced, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animal care. My current work schedule is Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. I’m great at keeping pets on their normal routine. Dogs get enriching walks, potty breaks, and lots of attention. Cats get feeding, litter box care, and playtime if they’re interested. I’ll follow whatever schedule keeps your pet happiest. Safety and trust are my top priorities in your home. I follow all of your security instructions and keep doors and windows locked when I’m out or sleeping. The only exception is a dog door if your pets need yard access, and I’ll confirm that’s okay with you first. After walks and yard time, I clean up all waste to keep your yard tidy. I also send photo updates, respect off-limit areas, and leave your home as I found it.
“First time using Rover for our 1yo shepherd. Natalie was a strong communicator, timely, and reliable for an overnight stay in our home. Jax was walked both days for over 1 mile along with playtime. Would definitely use Natalie again!”
About: Hi, my name is James and I am an active and energetic animal lover that has had dogs and cats my entire life. In addition to my own pets, my wife and I have fostered with local dog and cat rescues for the past 10 years. My love for animals doesn't stop there, I have worked in the zoological industry for the past 20 years. My first 15 years as a zookeeper and the last 5 as a zoo curator. If you have domestic farm animals or exotics of any kind, I am very comfortable caring for them. I have experience administering medications and specialized diets, as well as, giving injections as needed. If you are looking for someone with a wealth of experience in caring for animals, please reach out. I am working full time, but am still able to overnight, if needed. Otherwise, I am available for any morning and evening care that is wanted. I'd prefer not to take care of any pets in my home for the time being due to the fact that we have several fosters, as well as our own pets.
About: We are the epitome of an animal family and have had dogs and cats our whole lives! In addition to having our own fur baby's, we volunteer with a rescue at their events and foster and train puppies 1 week a month. Our children even want to be vets and have taken kids vet classes. The adults in the house work from home and provide plenty of walks and love all throughout the day. Our fur guests are always treated like family when they are here. Both adults in the house work from home and provide walks and outside play time at least every 2 hours (more if we have a puppy). We love to take our pups on daily walks throughout the whole development in additional to backyard play time. We have a very pet friendly development and will take your pups on walks and playtime in the backyard. We offer mimicking your home care so if you crate train, we will crate train. If your fur baby sleeps in your bed, your fur baby can sleep in our bed. We have dog beds and toys throughout the house and our own dogs for your pup to play with throughout the day. Your dogs will always be treated like our own while they are here and get plenty of love and attention.

Timbuctoo pet parents share their Rover experiences
What a great experience! Megan was absolutely amazing with our Tommy! He is a senior dog so we were a little apprehensive leaving him. We couldn’t be more happy Tommy was very comfortable and Megan took great care of him! Dog whisper for sure!! Felt comfortable having her stay at our home as well!!
Andrea was very kind and communicative throughout the visit. She arrived on time for the meet and greet and was gentle and patient with my puppy during an important adjustment period. I appreciated her professionalism, flexibility, and willingness to provide updates while I was away. Thank you again for your help and care with Dolly!
Leigha was terrific! She is mature, friendly and polite. She took excellent care of our home and our dogs while we were away. She communicated frequently and sent us pictures of our babies. I highly recommend Leigha. Your pets and home will be cared for responsibly. 😊
