“This is the first time we have ever had anyone come to our home to look in and take care of our dogs and Teresa made us feel very much at ease to do so!! Our fur babies loved her and it showed when we got back home! Thank you so much!! I would highly recommend Teresa anytime!!!”
“Jadon did an amazing job caring for my two cats while I was away. He consistently sent photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like I could truly trust him with my pets and my home. What stood out the most was seeing how comfortable my cats were with him in the pictures. They're usually selective about people, and it was obvious that they trusted him and felt safe in his care. I would absolutely recommend Jadon to anyone. He’s truly reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy.”
“Tabbitha took excellent care of my kitties and promptly sent me visit cards with photos each time, which I really appreciated. She is quick to respond to messages and I felt relieved to have someone so caring and conscientious looking after my kids while I was away.”
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.
About: Hello!! My name is Emily and I am a lifetime lover of dogs! I’ve had dogs throughout my whole life and found a passion for providing them with a safe and loving home 🥰. I specialize in high-energy dogs, along with dogs with medical needs. Whether your pup needs a walk, day care, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I would be thrilled to be that safe person for them while you’re away. I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I am able to give your pup my undivided attention. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priority. Dogs will have separate meal times to relieve any meal-time stress. They are also welcome on the furniture for relaxing time and/or snuggle time ☺️. I live in an apartment with multiple spacious, fenced-in grass areas for pups! My apartment is very dog friendly and they provide many different dog spaces for pups to enjoy and socialize if wanted. For dogs staying in our home, I also have a 7 month old pup! Her name is Isla and she is the sweetest pup. She LOVES snuggle time, but also loves to play! She has already traveled a lot at an early age as a service dog, so she is a very well trained pup. I’m excited for her to create a bond with your dog and become life-long buddies! 🐾 I’m excited to meet and discuss how I can create a safe space for your dog! I’m thrilled become a reliable companion for your pup! I work from home with a very flexible schedule! I work on my own time, so I can help with your pup whenever you need ☺️ In my home I have a safe and open apartment space. My complex also has an outdoor yard space for pets along with many walking spots near by! There are gated outdoor areas as well for the pups!
“Diana was an amazing sitter for our little choco. During her time with him, our pup not only avoided picking up any negative behaviors but also successfully practiced all of his tricks with her. We are grateful for Diana's cleanliness and the guidance she provided to ensure our pup stayed clean. Also forgot to mention that she took phenomenal pictures of our pup during her visit. Definitely would book again(:”
About: Hey there! My name is Khayla. I’m a student at Arizona State University. I love dogs and have a little over 3 years of experience petsitting. I love having fun, getting active, and giving your pup some love. I am very flexible and available anytime. I promise to care for your canine pal as one of my own. It is important to me to create a trust-filled relationship and paw-sitive experience for each dog that I care for. I understand that pet owners have busy schedules too and would love to help make your daily life easier and give you peace of mind that your dog is in caring and responsible hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I'm currently working part-time in the mornings so I'll be able to give your pup plenty of love. I'm available for boarding weekends and weekdays after 2 pm. I live in a pet-friendly apartment building with a fenced dog park and even a dog wash! 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.
“Savannah was wonderful, very responsive, timely, and attentive! She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was safe and happy, and I will definitely book her again. Would recommend for your cat sitting needs!!”
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.
“Marie was such a pleasure to work with! She came over for a meet and greet and took detailed notes on our kitty’s routine. I felt comfortable right away based on the thoroughness of her questions. We received detailed reports after each drop-in and the sweetest photos. It looks like they had a great time together! Would highly recommend”
About: In July 2017, I did drop in visits for my neighbor Katie while she was on vacation for her senior cat Amber. I would visit Amber ( in the pics above) in the am/pm hours to feed her, socialize with her, provide fresh water, remove & throw away the cat litter. She loves to purr & walk between my legs & rubs on head on my legs! She doesn't like to be held so it was a miracle she allowed me to hold in the pics above (smile)! I've had pets (dogs, cats, fish & turtle)throughout my life and loved their companionship. I've volunteered at the Humane Society walking, socializing with the dogs & educated potential human companions on a weekly basis about the the types of the pets that may be the best for them, what and how lifestyle dictates the best companionship for both animals and humans, is the human active on a daily/weekly basis, then I might suggest adopting a young Jack Russell Terrier, they definitely need a twice a day walk or it's a senior who wants companionship, then maybe a basset hound whose 5+ years old may be a good fit for both. Cats can be good choices for companionship. In some situations may be easier, they don't require any walking as you would with a dog. They will use their litter box. I work remote and virtual so I can provide and give the attention, care and love to your fur babies in your home, plus, walking the dogs. Currently my housing situation does not allow me to board animals. So I'm not able to offer those services. I desire to house and pet sit in the customers home.
“Maria is amazing as always! She took great care of my cat for a week and followed all instructions, as well as sent cute updates after each visit. We are lucky to have her :)”
“Veronika was quick to respond to my initial request. This was for a short, but important trip. Veronika reassured me that my baby, Stache was in good hands, & I got the Rover cards with each visit. If she is available, I will definitely request Veronika again!”
“Crystal is awesome. She came over to meet my cat Monkey before her visits to make him comfortable and did such a great job keeping him company and her communication is great. I really appreciate her visits.”
About: I love animals and have been caring for them for as long as I can remember! I’ll make your experience as smooth and worry-free as possible by paying attention to your pet’s unique needs. I have experience with many different breeds and temperaments. I have worked with senior dogs who need medications or just some extra attention. I also know how to handle puppies as I have raised one myself. My weekdays are wide open! I work as a server at a bar which gives me lots of free time. I have some slots on the weekends as well (before 1pm). I appreciate your trust with your pet because I know they are family to us! I’ll do everything I can to keep your pet entertained, safe happy.
About: I have experience caring for my own dogs back home, which has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. As a dog lover, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your furry friend receives the care and attention they need while you’re away. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of free time to give your pup the attention, care, and playtime they deserve. I’m available on Wednesdays and weekends, and I love spending time with dogs, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. Your furry friend will be treated with the same love and care I give my own dogs. I currently live in an apartment, so I don’t have a yard. However, that doesn’t stop us from having fun! We can go on walks around the neighborhood or enjoy a stroll at Tempe Town Lake. If your pup prefers a quieter day, I’m also happy to spend time cuddling, playing indoors, and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home.

University Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
⭐️⭐️ROYAL ROVER STATUS⭐️⭐️ The Princesses Penny and Poppy would like it formally entered into the royal record that Anthony was an absolute treasure. When I had to leave on a last-minute work trip, Anthony came to attend to them whisker and paw **three whole times in less than 24 hours! As my little sister said **. He was reliable, kind, communicative, and incredibly attentive to their needs. Most impressively, Anthony accomplished what is not easily achieved with my rescue kittens: he got the girls to willingly come to him and even received physical affection. Photographic proof exists, so this was not a rumor, bribery, or wishful thinking. That level of trust says everything. He respected their personalities, made sure they were safe and cared for, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Knowing they were in such good hands made a stressful last-minute trip feel so much easier. Princess’s Poppy and Penny would like it known that Sir Anthony has officially earned the Princesses’ approval and has been promoted to trusted royal caretaker. We will absolutely book him again.
I highly recommend booking with Grace! She was very kind, quick to respond to any messages, and most importantly took great care of our dogs. It’s very evident that Grace loves animals and has a passion for being around them. The biggest ringing endorsement I can give is that one of our dogs does not like most people, but she immediately LOVED and trusted Grace.
Jadon did an amazing job caring for my two cats while I was away. He consistently sent photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like I could truly trust him with my pets and my home. What stood out the most was seeing how comfortable my cats were with him in the pictures. They're usually selective about people, and it was obvious that they trusted him and felt safe in his care. I would absolutely recommend Jadon to anyone. He’s truly reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy.
I’m reviewing again after a month of her watching my dog 2-3 days a week because Christal deserves ALL the praise. I genuinely couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my dog when I’m at work. She plays with him, gets him to go potty, feeds him by hand which is so funny, she responds insanely quick, suggests things I should get for my dog, sends me TONS of photos from every visit…in short she does a FANTASTIC job. If you need someone to watch your fur baby while you’re away Christal is the person to ask.
Estefany is amazing with my cat Wymack and even more amazing with communication and last minute accommodation! She went above and beyond watching my baby and fit in pet sitting him super last minute! I recommend her to anyone that needs some peace of mind when they are out of town!
Veronika was a great sport about a somewhat irregular cat sitting gig of looking after a semi-stray cat I have been feeding for several months. She sounded honestly happy and pleased the one time she saw the cat in the yard. Very reliable and easy to work with.
Marie was such a pleasure to work with! She came over for a meet and greet and took detailed notes on our kitty’s routine. I felt comfortable right away based on the thoroughness of her questions. We received detailed reports after each drop-in and the sweetest photos. It looks like they had a great time together! Would highly recommend
So lucky to have found Amanda last minute. My cat is absolutely in love with Amanda and I rebooked with her before her first job was even up. I am so glad to have found her and definitely plan on booking with her in the future. Great communication and lots of pictures! Everything I could have asked for!
June did absolutely amazing caring for my little one. Athena was super comfortable with her and was all over her. She consistently cleaned her litter box and also swept/vacuumed around. Athena enjoyed her company and I had a piece of mind as I was traveling!
