About: I grew up on a ranch caring for many animals, especially dogs and cats. I’ve owned and cared for breeds like German Shepherds, Chows, Yorkshire Terriers, and rescued strays. I’ve worked at a local animal shelter and veterinary center. I love staying active and going on walks with dogs. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and consistency throughout the day. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment with plenty of supervision and attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while in my home.
“Teresa was so patient with some of the hiccups of getting through property gate, and then door code not working… and, saved us by taking on helping us with a last minute request. We will definitely reach out to Teresa again in the future :)”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. My grandmother has trained golden retrievers year after year in things like search and rescue, and agility ever since I can remember. I've participated in the trainings as a kid, and that's when I first fell in love with animals. I can check in with your pet while you are away, and spend time with them in your absence. I can feed, exercise, and do whatever it takes to keep your pet happy while you are away. I've been using Rover for a decade now, and I love it. I'm an easy-going person who loves hiking and a good Netflix show when I'm not at work or working with Rover. I've lived in Arizona for over seven years, and I love exploring and making new animal friends. I love spending time with dogs, so caring for other's dogs fits into my routine perfectly! I currently Doordash in my free time and will be starting a full time job again soon. I provide a loving an nuturing environment for your pet while you are away. When your pet is in my care, they will feel comfortable, safe, and happy.
“Taylor was able to cover a few days of walks for me while my regular rover was out of town. She checked in with me and made sure I knew when she was on her way to take care of my dog, which I really appreciated. She was a great help.”


About: I’ve had pets my entire life. My family had a two high energy dogs growing up and even from a young age I would enjoy caring for the two of them. After they passed, I volunteered at my local humane society, working mainly with dogs. When I was about 17, I convinced my family to adopt a puppy. I taught him basic commands, potty training, and basic leash skills. I currently own a cat who is equal parts sweetheart and menace. Being tasked with raising a kitten turned out to have a massive learning curve, but he is absolutely spoiled with playtime, toys, and treats. He is currently being leash trained and we’re working on anxiety associated with his crate. I have a PRN position at a children’s hospital, so I have plenty of time to check in on your baby/babies. I work a short Monday shift from 12-4PM. I have a hybrid pharmacy schedule, so I am able to attend classes from wherever I am. I care for all pets with love and respect. The main goal is to establish trust with new pets by allowing them to approach me with interest on their own terms, even if it takes a while. Providing pets with playtime and attention is a priority after their daily basic needs are met. I believe in gentle correction or making an activity more interesting with treats or a favorite toy when a pet is acting up or disinterested.

About: Always had a passion for dogs and am certified in dog obedience. I’ve raised my own dog since he was a puppy—he’s now 8 years old. I treat every dog with the same love, care, and attention as if they were my own. Pet care fits really well into my daily life because I work remotely, which gives me flexibility and time to properly care for pets throughout the day. It also helps me break up my routine in a positive way by getting outside for walks, playtime, and check-ins. I enjoy being active and having structure in my day, and caring for animals naturally adds that balance. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so it never feels like a task—it feels rewarding and something I look forward to. I care for pets like they’re part of my own family—keeping their routine steady, making sure they’re happy, fed, and comfortable, and giving them plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I also respect your home and keep everything tidy.
About: I’ve had many pets growing up my entire life, however, I began being an animal caretaker since 2019. Originally I was a flying nanny so I was never home, but I was transporting dogs and cats all over the United States from state to state. I fell in love with my job until I could no longer travel anymore. Now that I work from home, I still want to be able to continue my journey with caring for animals. Many people do jobs because their parents did it or they do it for the money; but I genuinely do it because I love animals… you might be able to say more than humans. I currently work from home and work when I want in my daily life would really affect my availability to pet sit. I’m basically available every single day of the week unless I make plans. I live in an apartment that has a grass area for animals to handle their business and it is fenced all the way around the apartment. And I have a very sweet cat who was about three years old and she does very well with other animals if your baby needs company.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kristen was amazing with Sterling! She was kind, communicative, and totally in tune with his quirks. I loved getting photo updates, and it was clear she treated him like her own. He came back happy and relaxed. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!”

About: I have cared for my elderly dog for 8 years and I absolutely love all animals! I also have job experience caring for children, making me a responsible and trustworthy sitter. I would be happy to discuss the best suitable time for us! This summer, my work schedule is Monday- Thursday at 10am-2pm (remote). As an Arizona State University student, I flexibly spend my time in Chandler and Tempe! :) I will make sure your pets remain safe and comfortable while you’re away. While sticking close to their routine, I will respect your space and keep everything tidy.

About: I LOVE animals, I have a dog and birds who I have been taking care of since I was a kid. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends, so I am very comfortable taking care of animals. I have always been the type of person who hangs out with the dog instead of people at parties, so spending time with animals makes me genuinely happy! I am looking for a way to make some extra money during the summer while I’m in nursing school, so I am available pretty much every day/ all day the next couple months :) When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I like to make sure they are comfortable, and that they are kept on a similar routine as they normally are. I’ll provide fresh food and water, let them outside, give them attention, and clean up as needed. I also pay attention to any extra instructions given by the owner.
About: Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. My dog Laila, who was truly my best friend, recently passed away, and home just hasn’t felt the same without her. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I treat every animal like they're my own. My sister is a Rover sitter, and spending time with the dogs she cares for has made me fall in love with this work even more. I love building trust and relationships with every pet I meet, making sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home, whether it's for a quick visit or an overnight stay. I have experience with dogs with all kinds of personalities, from playful to shy, and I’m always patient, loving, and full of energy to keep your pets happy and cared for! I’m currently home from college for the summer, staying with my parents. I have a part-time job as a cheer camp instructor, but outside of that, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for pets. During the school year, I cheer at ASU, but right now my schedule is super flexible, and I’m excited to spend that extra time giving your pets the love and attention they deserve. We have a spacious home and backyard where pets can play safely and comfortably. If your pet needs medication, I’m experienced and confident in administering it—having cared for my own dog through many health challenges. I make sure every pet gets plenty of playtime, love, and attention in a calm, secure environment where they can feel right at hom

I also live right next to ASU and often take the dogs out to walk around the campus for some exercise, plenty of safe walkable spaces. My apartment is fairly large, smoke-free, and has no children or other pets living in it. I do my best to help dogs feel comfortable whether at my place or yours and give owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands while their away.

University Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
My pups love Shanae! She is very responsive and easy to work with. She always checks in with me about any concerns which i really appreciate! She has also gone above and beyond, cleaning up after one of my dogs had an accident in the house when I was at work. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Shanae you’re the best!

Alan has been my regular dog walker for over a year now and I would recommend him to anyone. My dog loves him, and he gives detailed reports after every walk, which I appreciate so much. He has really good attention to detail and I trust him to make sure my dog is safe and happy during their evening walks.

Ashley arrived promptly and followed all instructions getting into the apartment for my 14 year old madam Biba … Biba would take Ashley for her walk and Ashley was lovely to be patient, Ashley also sent photos everyday of Biba loving her early morning walks. I highly recommend her and will be using her when we get back after the summer break.

Teresa has been absolutely wonderful with Stella, has walked her every day from 8 weeks to 6 months around lunch to help my husband and I with our work schedule. She provides clear communication and plenty of pictures and has been very flexible with our work schedules. My dog loves her! Would highly recommend her.

Yanssel goes above and beyond to ae sure my big dig is safe, loved and well taken care of. She always sends plenty if pictures and communicates very thoroughly if something seems off. Yanssel is very trustworthy around my pets and in my home alone. Would recommend 100%.

Hunter was very professional, compassionate, and understanding. He understood the needs of an older dog as well as my crazy work schedule. Most of all I feel I could trust him to come into my home when I was not there. I tried to hire students from ASU and Hunter proved himself to be reliable. I’ll definitely be hiring him again.

I got a very quick reply to my request, than a meet and greet that went very well (my kind of shy little dog took right to him), friendly service, and great communication! He let me know when he was arriving and departing for the dog walk visit, and sent me a photo. I will happily request Kaiser again if needed, and I would recommend him to others.
