“Andrea is amazing, 100 percent recommend. She is responsive, flexible and sends great pictures. I loved knowing my cat was in such caring and capable hands.”

“Would I book Haley again? I already have! Haley is fantastic, she went above and beyond my expectations! Haley took AMAZING care of our three senior dogs, who have special needs. One of my dogs needs to have his bladder expressed due to a spinal injury, Haley went out of her way to learn how to express his bladder and ensure his comfort. Haley gave the dogs ample outdoor time, shared photos and detailed report cards throughout the day which gave us peace of mind. You can tell when your dogs had their basic needs met vs. when they also had enrichment (play time, cuddles, etc.), my dogs clearly had enrichment with Haley taking care of them. The dogs were happy and content when we returned home, they hardly missed us! Cannot recommend Haley highly enough.”

About: I am a kind and attentive pet sitter. Who is always happy to meet new furry friends. I can't wait to meet your loved ones I'm currently employed full time at a school as a teacher aide. I am available 6 pm to 8 pm on weekdays and full availability on weekends. I am willing to be flexible and follow any guidelines that pet owners may have for their pets. I will always allow pets a little time to get used to me before jumping into the task at hand.
About: I have cared for and owned many dogs since I was a child. Have cared for and boarded family members dog on many occasions in the last 6 years. I am very kind and patient with all animals. I work full time Monday to Friday. I can watch or board your pet fully on the weekends or after 4PM during the week. If its a pet that already uses crating during the work day I can also accommodate. I have a large fully fenced large yard, large home and will gladly walk your dog in the neighborhood. We have two kind children who love dogs and can help keep your dog company.
“Dejah was a new sitter when I booked her, and after requesting several sitters, she was the only one who both got back to me and could sit my cat in such a short turnaround time. It was a nervy experience being my first time on Rover letting a stranger take care of my cat for a week while I was out of the area, but she couldn’t have done a better job. She was super polite, prompt at responding, did everything that was asked of her (and more), took great photos, and went above and beyond the 30 minute bookings each and every time. My cat, who is typically shy of strangers, loved her the second she met her, and was very interactive with her in the brief moments we saw, which she only does with those who she feels safe around. As a new sitter and charging a fair rate, Dejah couldn’t have done any better job than one who had hundreds of 5 stars; the level of service and attention to detail makes it so that if I ever need a cat sitter again, I have one I will always contact first. Book her without hesitation!!!”

“Christina took very good care of our cat! She made our trip easy and worry-free. It was extremely easy to communicate with her, as she responded to our messages quickly. I can't wait to rebook the service with Christina!”

I currently have a part time schedule as a server. I have my own dog so my schedule works well around my dogs needs as well I understand that every dog has needs that are different and I make it a point to meet each dogs daily physical, medical, and emotional needs.
“Rebecca was amazing with our pups! She was so understanding about our 11 week old puppy and willing to deal with the challenges that come along with that. We can’t wait to have her back!”


About: Animals have been part of my family for most of my life, and I’ve been helping care for them since I was 14, when we brought home a puppy. My experience spans puppyhood and kittenhood through the senior years. Today, I share my home with my two senior ladies: Gandalf, an 18-year-old cat and Leeloo, a 14-year-old pit mix. I adopted my dog from the SPCA when she was two, and she’s been a beloved member of our family for 12 years. My cat has been with me since birth after I adopted her mother while she was pregnant. Living with two senior pets has taught me to pay attention to their individual needs and appreciate the comfort of familiar routines. My cat especially needs dedicated time for petting and brushing when we’re away. Companionship matters just as much as a full food bowl. I’ll bring that same patience and attention to your pets, following their routines and taking time to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re gone. I’m a parent of three and am available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., while my kids are at school. I offer drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, playtime, and companionship, as well as dog walks. I’ll work with you to find a visit time that fits your pet’s routine. I care for pets in their own homes, where they can enjoy familiar surroundings and routines. Before our first visit, I’ll learn about your pet’s needs, personality, and any feeding or walking instructions. I’ll be careful with doors and locks, keep dogs leashed on walks, and respect your home. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, brushing, or quiet company, I’ll give them patient attention and send photos and updates along the way.
About: I provide reliable, compassionate care for both cats and dogs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My responsibilities include feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications when needed, and giving pets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection.I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions closely to help pets stay comfortable and reduce stress. I am dependable, patient, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own while giving owners peace of mind that their companions are in caring hands. I work full time Monday through Friday from 7am to 3pm, but I’m available for pet care before work, after 3:30pm on weekdays, and any time throughout the weekends. I can provide evening walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and weekend boarding. I’ll always communicate with you, follow your pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and quality care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large fenced yard for dogs to enjoy, and the driveway entrance is securely blocked off whenever pets are outside. Cats are kept safely indoors in a calm environment. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs, and I always introduce pets carefully while supervising all interactions. I can keep pets separated if needed, follow your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you know they’re happy and well cared for.
About: I have taken care of my parents, family friends, and roommates animals since I was a teenager. I’ve house sit with cats and dogs. From hyper puppies to laid back kitty cats I am here to help. I’ll walk, feed, give lots of love, and attention to your beloved pet. ***I apologize, I will not be available all of August or the beginning of September 2023. I am in the process of moving. I will update my location soon. Thank you for your understanding.*** I do work full-time Saturday through Wednesday, it’s best for me to do check in’s and dog walks for a couple hours in the day. I also do house sitting with your pet, so they aren’t alone at night. I live with my roommates kitty named Nelly, I love her up and feed her whenever my roommate isn’t around. However, I cannot bring animals to my home, because I rent the property and other animals are not allowed. I would be happy to come into your home and provide care and love to your fur baby.
“We had a wonderful experience with Marideth. She was incredibly attentive and caring towards our little boy, ensuring he was well taken care of during our absence. We returned home to find everything just as we left it, a testament to her respect for our home. Additionally, her regular text updates and photos kept us informed and reassured about our pet’s well-being. We highly recommend her services.”
About: ✨ 8+ years experience | Medical care | Reliable & dog-savvy ✨ 🌞 6/1/2026: Please keep in mind that this is a busy time of year! Blocked spots on calendar indicate booked gigs outside of Rover. If you see any availability, please don’t hesitate to reach out! 🌞 Hi there! My name is Izzy! I have been working with dogs for a little over 8 years now, both in formal and personal settings. From managing a doggy daycare/salon to my own personal care sessions (which have been requested in state and international), I value all opportunities because it allows me to learn, grow and become more confident when caring for animals. I have worked with and taught commands to dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. I have also worked with animals who had behavioral issues, medical conditions such as seizures, liver problems and diabetes. I have administered medications and proper substances when needed. I believe that maintaining a routine is essential when watching animals because their world is a little different when they aren’t with their primary care taker. With this being said, if an animal has heath condition and/or specific needs, I would appreciate that they are disclosed before sessions. It is important that each animal is treated with care and is given lots of love. It is also necessary that the family feels comfortable with individual who cares for their pet and that they can trust them. I haven’t touched on all my experiences so if there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to share! Looking forward to connecting with you and your pets! Side note: I’m also comfortable caring for lizards and small pets, and can offer light home cleaning services during longer stays if requested. Additional fees may be required. I build my schedule around my pet care clients, so availability for drop-ins, walks, and sitting can be very flexible — including mornings, evenings, and weekends. If you’re unsure about timing, just message me! I’m happy to coordinate! I believe that monitoring activities like playing with toys and distributing treats should be supervised at all times. Having a routine is important so sticking to that routine essential when it comes to caring for a pet. I do not have a yard but dogs would be taken on walks everyday (rain or shine) if they were to stay with me.
“Jenna was a great choice for our first time trying Rover! She cared for our cat like it was her own. She communicated well and checked in often. Would definitely book again!”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my home since a kid. I’ve raised them since they were young and taken care of them when they are old. More specifically, I have experience in providing medicine to geriatric dogs. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and care for whatever they may need. They are part of the family after all and I will treat them like one of my own. I am available during normal working hours as I work the evening shift starting at 4pm. Any walks, feedings or check-ups needed during the day, I will be there. I’ll treat your furry friend as if they are my own. I will follow any rules or routines you have in place. I hope to make it as seamless as possible for them and you!

Jenna really is the best, and she’s always my number 1 choice when I need a sitter! I never have to worry when I go out of town because I know my kitties are in good hands. She makes sure to send me updates during every check in along with pictures/videos, and I always come how to two happy cats after. Thanks Jenna!!

Zachary is totally awesome! Zach took the most amazing care of my baby girl Remy . Everyday sent me pictures and updates about Remy without even having to ask. Remy was extremely happy with Zach and that’s a humongous plus for me . I will definitely be booking again with Zach without a doubt. I totally recommend anyone looking for someone who is very prompt and really does care about our fur babies you should book with Zach.

Xava was fantastic! She was so attentive and genuinely caring toward my dog. She radiates confidence, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her next time!

Five stars for Alyssa! We recently traveled for a week and entrusted our cat, Tilly, to Alyssa, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We left a very detailed list of instructions, and Alyssa followed every one of them to the letter. She was punctual for every morning and evening visit, and we never had to wonder whether Tilly was okay. Alyssa checked in regularly with updates and wonderful photos that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Tilly loves spending time outdoors in her harness and leash, and that’s not something every sitter would be comfortable with. Alyssa happily accommodated this routine, and knowing Tilly was getting her usual outdoor time made us feel so much more at ease. It’s clear Alyssa is attentive and takes the time to care for a pet’s individual needs and personality. As a cat owner herself, Alyssa understands cats in a way that really shows. Tilly bonded with her quickly, and the photos she sent showed a happy, comfortable cat. Coming home to a content pet and a sitter who treated her like family was a huge relief. We can’t recommend Alyssa highly enough and will absolutely be booking her again. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter for your cat, look no further!

We couldn’t have been happier with Saraphina’s care of Luna! Luna is a timid dog who is usually very slow to warm up to people, so we were especially surprised and happy to see how quickly she became comfortable with Saraphina. She really took the time to understand Luna and knew exactly how to handle her little quirks and anxiety. Her updates were thoughtful and relevant, and we especially enjoyed the fun little anecdotes about their visits. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Luna was in such good hands while we were away. We would absolutely have Saraphina care for Luna again!

Deborah is my go-to sitter for my cat. She is kind, attentive, meticulous, punctual, and thorough. My cat is the center of my world, so it's no small thing for me to feel entirely comfortable with the person I have care for him when I have to be away. I am so grateful to have found Deborah and highly recommend her to others!

Jessica was amazing! She was consistent and I was confident my elderly cat was well cared for in my absence. She sent a note and/or pictures daily. Her notes were informative, concise and comforting. I would recommend Jessica without any hesitations for any pet owner who wants to make sure their pet has someone looking out for them.

Kara was great with my beagle! We set up a meet and greet that went well! She helped us out when our other pet sitter had a conflict. There was a small miscommunication about the 1st arrival time but was quickly corrected. She did 2 drop in visits on a Saturday and spent an hour each time. Wore my baby out on the short walks and my pup slept great. Kara is very responsive and loving. Would definitely use her again!

10 out of 10! Karen is the best! Our kitties were so well taken care of and loved! She thought of every detail, and was so considerate to our travel needs. Medication administration, food, playtime, and she sent the most adorable photos! I’ve never felt so secure going out of town- they were in great hands! Thank you Karen!
