“Ashlyn was a life saver for me and my kitties when I had to go out of town. She did everything asked of her plus some. I will definitely reach out to her again when I need my kitties taken care of.”
“Marya’s second time watching our cat and we were so lucky we got her again! She goes above and beyond with pictures and videos. She had the time and desire to even stay over the committed time with him and brought him a toy, that he LOVED! Literally the best animal caretaker ever :)”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years, starting with my own and extending to family, friends, and neighbors who trusted me with theirs. For 7.5 years, I worked professionally as a kennel tech in an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs and cats of every size, breed, and temperament. I've also fostered both dogs and kittens, giving me experience with everything from playful puppies to bottle babies, I'm skilled at administering medications, caring for senior pets, and making sure each animal's unique needs are met. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or needs extra attention, I'm confident and comfortable providing the right kind of care. My schedule is fully flexible, so I can work around what your pet needs-not the other way around. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide care whenever your pets need it! Whether that be mornings, evenings, weekends, or overnights. I make pet care a priority in my daily routine, so I can adapt to your pet’s specific needs and keep them comfortable on their usual schedule. I provide care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m available for overnights, daily check-ins, or multiple visits throughout the day. With 7+ years of kennel tech experience, I’m used to following detailed routines and handling dogs of every size, breed, and temperament. I can administer medications, stick closely to feeding/walking schedules, and ensure your pets feel safe, calm, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I am a pet lover myself. I have had experience with many family/friends’ pets in the past including feeding and walking while they’re absent. My main experience begins with my golden doodle/blue heeler mix. I am equipped with experience dealing with high-energy dogs that hate to be on a leash and are in need of a big area for play time . Second comes my black Labrador retriever. He is a timid, large-for-his-age dog that is afraid of almost of everything. In which case, I carry him to quiet areas for walks. To me, pet care is by far the most rewarding and stress-reliever anyone could have. It provides time to enjoy the environment without feeling pressured. A fluffy partner always makes walks/caring better as well. From my experience, the best way is to always give them an area where they are free to play around! And also taking time to provide them company as well
“This was my first time using a pet sitter. Matthew was great! He came to my house twice a day, took excellent care of my pet fur buddies, even holding them on his lap. 😊. He sent pictures and an update on every visit. I hope he would be willing to help me out again!”
“This is my first time booking with Tayla and I would book her 1000 times again! She took wonderful care of Rubí while I was out of town and she was really calm when I came home rather than being anxious like when I’ve left her with people in the past. Highly recommend, she did a meet and greet with me and Rubí a week beforehand, communicated really well, sent lots of pics, which I loved, and even bought her extra snacks! Definitely recommend! I only booked her for my cat but I would absolutely book her for my dog as well.”
About: 🐾 Growing up in Mississippi, animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and currently have 5 fur babies of my own. I was raised around German Shepherds and have extensive experience with large, intelligent breeds that require consistency, patience, and confidence. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. In addition to my love for animals, I’m currently a nursing student, which has strengthened my attention to detail, responsibility, and commitment to providing quality care. I understand how important it is to follow routines, monitor, and communicate clearly with pet parents. I know leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, and I don’t take that trust lightly. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and treat every pet like one of my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m used to staying organized and managing responsibilities, which helps me ensure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. Since pet care is already a regular part of my life, adding your furry family member to my routine feels natural and enjoyable. Safety is always my top priority. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, and any special needs before care begins. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise requirements, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and closely supervise pets during walks, playtime, and outdoor activities. As a nursing student, I’m detail-oriented and comfortable monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Jonatan has house sit for us and done drop-ins. He's made friends with all of our animals (cats included!) and kept us updated at all times. Highly recommended and we'll be using him again for sure!”
About: I’ve taken care of my families and my own dog for 5 years now. I mostly deal with larger breed dogs but I’m also open to smaller breeds as well. I often take care of my sisters 3 dogs while she’s out of town as well as my own dog that I care for full time! I’m fairly flexible when it comes to caring for your fur babies. Just let me know what time and I’ll see what I can work out for you! I’m also open to overnights on the weekends if needed! I have a large years with a line I can attach to the collar so your pup can freely roam while still staying in the yard and away from the street. I have a dog that can keep yours some company as well as a few cats that aren’t too afraid of dogs.

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 .
