“I got very lucky choosing Riley. Riley and I arranged a meet up to meet with me and my 11 cats. We went over the feeding and litter instructions prior to my trip. She got it the first time around. I didn't have to repeat myself. We also went over safety issues regarding the keys and gate and keeping the pets safe. She is reliable, trustworthy, pleasant and sweet and it was a pleasure getting to know her, she truly loves and cares for animals. She also texted me when she checked in and out of the house. She also sent me pictures of my cats. When I got home, it was like I never left. She did an excellent job feeding and cleaning the litter boxes and making sure cats were fine. This is the first time I used her as a pet sitter on Rover, and it was so stress-free. She is someone I definitely will use again in the future to take care of my pets. ❤️”

About: I have had cats and dogs all my life that have and are living great long and fulfilling lives. I treat animals well with great care and respect and even had the opportunity to nurse a baby squirrel back to health I’m working part-time and will be visiting your little family member and be able to give them one on one attention give them walks feed them and an occasional treat and play. I understand what it’s like to have a hyper lazy or in between dog so I can handle any situation and treat them as I would my own with love care and respect. I like to set a very comfortable environment for an animal I’m working with to get them to understand that I’m a friend and someone who is here to care so I like to set those boundaries and understanding of what makes them comfortable and listen to their body language. I like to build trust in my relationships with positive enforcement and trust.

About: Hi! My name is Jessica, and I am a proud dog mama with a lifelong love for animals. I have been caring for dogs and cats for more than 20 years and understand that our pets are much more than animals—they are cherished members of the family. When you’re away, my goal is to provide the same love, attention, patience, and care that I would want for my own pets. Over the years, I have cared for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medications, overnight and extended house sitting, senior pet care, puppy care, and supporting pets that experience anxiety, separation stress, or need extra patience and reassurance. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime and belly rubs, or simply relaxing with a familiar companion, I am committed to providing attentive, reliable care tailored to their needs. I know how important communication is for pet parents, so I also provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away. As someone who genuinely loves animals, I strive to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, well-cared-for pet who feels loved and secure. I would be honored to care for your furry family members and look forward to meeting both you and your pets! 🐾❤️ I work full-time as an attorney during the week, which means I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and following detailed instructions. I am available for morning and evening drop-in visits, walks, feedings, playtime, and medication administration before and after work on weekdays. I also have greater flexibility on weekends and most holidays, making me a great option for weekend getaways, holiday travel, and regular pet care needs. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine and will always provide timely updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Safety, comfort, and consistency are my top priorities when caring for your pets. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions so they can remain comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies and kittens, senior pets, anxious pets, and animals that require medication or extra attention. My primary focus is providing care in your pet’s home, where they can remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. Whether that includes walks, feeding, administering medication, playtime, litter box care, or simply providing companionship, I am committed to treating your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own. As an attorney, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and attention to detail. You can count on me to follow instructions carefully, respect your home, and provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit. If boarding in my home is needed, I can accommodate pets on a case-by-case basis. I have dogs of my own, so visiting pets would be safely separated to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. My goal is always to provide a secure, loving, and low-stress experience for both pets and their owners.

About: After 19 years of living with large dogs, i've grown accustomed to their behaviors, living with German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Huskys, Great Pyrenees, and many others. I'm used to breeds that many people consider aggressive, though I'm also good with small dogs. Since I started pet sitting for neighbors I've been around chihuahuas, terriers, poodles, corgis and many more. I'd love the chance to meet your dogs regardless of how big or small they are! I work full time at a doctors office but I have a two hour break every day, from 12-2 so I've got time during work to hang out with you puppies! I get off at 12 of Fridays and don't work at all on the weekends, I would be available for your pets almost all day, available to stop by during breaks and spending evenings and early mornings with them! Due to my availability with work I am able to spend a lot of time at the house with the pets I'm watching. I spend several hours a day and home with the pets, spending time with them, playing outside and just hanging out together!

About: I am responsible and reliable when it comes to caring for fur babies! I love every size and breed. I have a 10 year old mixed lab named “Molly”. She is a rescue and loves to fetch the ball! I am patient, calm and willing to go the extra mile to ensure your pet is happy, safe and fed properly. I have a soft spot for rescue animals. They usually need special love and attention since they have usually been with more than one owner. I recognize the behavior animals display when they are afraid and want to feel safe. I am very detail oriented and have the ability to follow special directions. I can send you pics while you are away so that you know they are ok. I would love to take care of your pet so message me for a meet and greet.

About: I’ve always had a strong connection with animals, they seem to know that I love and care for them immediately. I’ve had the most antisocial pets snuggling me within the first few minutes of knowing me. I’m not a magician but I will treat your beloved babies with same amount of care and love as I would with my own. I can be booked from anytime! This is my only obligation and it’s what I’m passionate about, I look forward to caring for your fur babies! Every pet is different and has their own routine they’re accustomed to. I try to know as much about their day to day as much as I can prior to, so I can provide the best and most comfortable experience for your babies! I’m very adaptable, so anything I haven’t done before I will learn quick. I will treat each and every client, (and their pets) with respect and honesty.

“Maria was amazing. We found her last minute and we’re so happy we did. She’s newer to Rover but definitely has experience with animals. We thought she was so professional and sent the most amazing updates!”

“Marissa took great care of our German Shepard and cat! It was a last minute request and she hadn’t even met us or our furbabies before we had to leave. She was punctual with every visit, kept in touch and updated me three times a day. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I recently lost my dog who was almost 16 years old. So I am used to caring for elderly dogs as well and the challenges that come with it like medications, helping them with stairs, etc. I really enjoy spending quality time with the dogs and keeping them company. It’s currently off season for my job so my days are pretty free. I am really flexible from May to Sept. I will do my best to be able to accommodate with your needs. I live in a home with a big fenced in back yard. I do not have any other pets at home so there’s no need to worry your pet does not get along with others.

About: I’ve taken care of almost all breeds of dogs, friends, family and neighbors. I’ve always loved dogs and taking care of them we how our own dog and love to have other dogs over they play all day and have fun and have company. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily life. I work full-time during the day, but I always make time for morning and afternoon walks. My husband is home most of the day, so there’s usually someone around to give love, playtime, and potty breaks even if he steps out for a few hours. We have a sweet 4-year-old pup of our own and a playful 3-year-old child, so our home is full of fun and energy. With a big fenced-in yard, there’s plenty of safe space for running, playing, and exploring. Caring for dogs is just part of our everyday routine, and we love it! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They get plenty of love, playtime, and attention throughout the day, along with safe outdoor time in our large fenced yard. I make sure they stay on their usual feeding and potty schedule, and they’re always included in our daily walks and play.

“The meet and greet went perfectly and our dogs love her.”

About: I started taking care of my neighbors' dogs at the beginning of adolescence and, since then, have owned at least 2 dogs. I worked at Petsmart as a dog bather and have participated in very basic training with dogs (mostly sit, stay, etc). I'm active duty, so my availability is mostly after 4 or 5 PM weekdays and open availability on the weekends pending any work that may fall outside those working day(s). I'm fairly open minded and will work with you on however you feel would make the environment and situation safe for your wonderful fur babies!

About: I have many years of experience dog sitting dogs of all ages, from senior dogs to young puppies. I’m very accommodating to high energy dogs who needs lots of activity and have experience with basic dog training from my days fostering dogs. I’ve fostered dogs with behavioral issues as well as separation anxiety, so I’m prepared for any situation. I adore all dogs and treat them like they’re my own (I have a 7 year-old German Shepherd). I will always leave your home clean and give your dogs lots of love! I’m currently working part time so I have very flexible availability and the ability to spend lots of time with your pets during the day! I’m an organized person and I like to keep things clean, so even though your pets will have lots of play time there won’t be any toys or messes left. I’m very respectful of a client’s space and treat it like I’d like someone to treat my home.

“Amanda was great, she was very responsive and bean loved her. Highly recommend.”

About: I have always been around dogs my entire life. I have always been in love with dogs and they are something I truly admire. I have been entrusted throughout my life of taking care of my friends and neighbors dogs. I have also worked with dogs from Yorkies all the way to Great Danes so size doesn’t bother me. During my experience I have worked with puppies all the way up to our senior pups making sure every dog is cared for and loved to the highest extent possible. I am currently a part time student, which means I can be around your pets most of the day due to my classes only taking at most 3 hours of my day so I can make sure your pets are loved and appreciated. Taking care of someone else’s pet is truly a privilege to be trusted enough to make sure someone’s baby is cared for and loved as much as you do. I will make sure to communicate and provide you with pictures and videos of your pets throughout and make sure to keep you updated with anything. I am a quick learner and will make to keep your stress levels low.

“Absolutely fantastic and is great with animals!! Highly recommend!!!”

About: I enjoy dog sitting on my off time. I have a pretty hectic work schedule that is all over the place. This makes it hard for me to have my own pup so I love on everyone else’s pups instead. I only take pets on the weeks that my schedule isn’t as crazy. This allows me to give my full attention and spend quality with the pet while I have them. I love cuddling up on the couch with pups. I also enjoy going to the dog park and long walks around the lake for some exercise
