About: I’ve had many pets since I was a child, from cats to chinchillas! Cared for puppies to senior doggos and love them all the same. I own a boba cafe that doesn’t require me to be there from day to day so I have time to look after your fur children. Plenty of love and attention for those that need it. If yours likes to do its own thing that’s no problem as well but will still show love!
“Ms. Patty was awesome! She took such great care of our kitties while we were away. She kept us up to date with pictures, and text and was very detailed oriented. We will definitely use her again next time. Thank you, Ms. Patty!”
About: I have experience caring for young cats and truly enjoy understanding their unique personalities and needs. I’m highly observant of behaviors that could affect their health or safety, allowing me to act early and keep them well. I pay close attention to their nutrition and can prepare balanced, home-cooked meals when needed. I’m also very organized, responsible, and committed to providing a calm, clean, and safe environment. Your cat will be cared for with patience, respect, and genuine affection.

About: I’ve had cats for over 11 years! I have had experience with cats of all ages, from kittens to older cats. From a young age I have always loved cats and was even the one feeding the strays around the neighborhood. I give the flee medicine to our cats every month and have assisted with cleaning the litter and, if necessary bathing the cats.
About: Hi everyone my name is Angie and I may be new to Rover but I am not new to loving and caring for precious pups. I currently don't have any dogs living with me but prior to July 2025 I had my own fur babies since 1992. I decided this would be a wonderful way for me to get some puppy love, bring peace of mind to traveling pet parents, and make some money while providing a loving service. I have taken care of many of my friends pups along the way. Saki, Sophie, Sushi, Bodhi, Lucy, and Honey. I also occasionally foster dogs to help my friend's rescue. I would love to meet and care for your babies. My home is a safe and loving space for pups to play and have their "stay-cation"!! I work from home and will be available to be with the pet pretty much all day. Consistent time outdoors will be provided weather permitting. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play or grab that nice patch of sunshine to nap in. I maintain a clean and calm environment.
About: I’ve only cat sat a mutual friend cat for a little over a year at this point but I’ve also worked in an animal shelter focusing with the kittens and feral cats! So I’ve dealt with cats with many different kinds of personalities and can assure you I can provide excellent care of you baby
“Ashley was able to take care of our 3 cats last minute. She was quick to respond and super nice. She made sure the cats had everything they needed for the weekend and sent updates with pictures. We’d definitely book with her again!”
“Jackie is really great with our cats. We have peace of mind when we’re on travel. We’ve been burned in the past by other sitters who didn’t put in the time and effort, and Jackie makes it so easy when we’re away. She’s trustworthy and provides attentive care for our cats, she’s the best!”
About: I have a senior dog of my own and treat her like my own child. I make sure to give the dogs I care for stimulating activities, essential exercise, time outside to ground themselves in the grass, frequent potty breaks, and a healthy and nutritious diet. Given their short lifetime and unconditional love, I believe they deserve to live a fulfilling life and provide that for any pet I take care of. I am able to accommodate requests, but please ask with reasonable notice preferably in advance. The weekends are most flexible and some holidays may vary. Maintaining the pet's regular schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime helps them feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Engaging pets in stimulating activities and providing a cozy space with their favorite toys ensures mental and physical well-being. Consistent updates to the client, including photos and messages, offer reassurance and peace of mind. Delivering attentive and affectionate care, along with respecting the client's home, creates a positive and loving experience for both the pet and the client.
About: I’ve had my cat for 3 years now. He’s given me the experience of cleaning cat litter boxes, bathing him, and learning what he prefers to eat. Before him I once took in 2 neighborhood kittens and syringe fed them milk and cared for them for about 2 months.
“Liz did an excellent job following my litany of instructions for a week long house sitting. She had a 100% success rate with insulin injections on my diabetic cat. Very happy and will book her again for another vacation”
“We really appreciated Melisa’s help while we left our cat home during a trip. She sent us lots of pics and videos and we felt at ease knowing our kitty was being well taken care of :)”
“"I can’t recommend Leiah enough! She is professional, down-to-earth, friendly, and an excellent communicator. From our meet and greet, it was clear she truly loves dogs and knows how to engage with them. She is punctual and provides great updates (and awesome photos!) which gives me total peace of mind while I’m away. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like her own, Leiah’s the needle in the haystack you are looking for!"”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“This was his very first time at an all-day daycare, and I was honestly pretty nervous leaving him. From the start, Shardae made everything feel so easy and reassuring. She sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the day, and every single one showed a happy, relaxed pup who was clearly being cared for and loved. Seeing him playing and comfortable truly put my mind at ease. All I ever want is for my dog to feel safe, happy, and loved, and that is exactly what Shardae provided. Total success. I would absolutely trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking.”
“B’ha was cared for while meeting new furry friends. I received (and adored) pictures of her walking and playing through all her stages of arrival, hesitation, acceptance and play. I recommend Alice as a loving doggy person.”
“Our fur baby Rosie loves visiting Beverly’s place! She gets to run around their large yard all day and play with her friends. Beverly makes sure all the dogs play well with each other. Highly recommend!”
“So grateful for John and his girlfriend for taking in my pup super last minute, literally within a 30-45min notice! Appreciate John's attentiveness and willingness to watch my dog. He even said not to rush back to pick Bucky up, because they were having a great time with him, which I appreciated and was thrilled to hear that my dog was in great hands! :) Thank you John, we definitely will be using her services in the near future!”
About: I was a dog owner for 15 years; she passed away about 3 years ago. Her beds are so big and comfy I didn't want to throw them away. I had proclaimed this to be a forever dog home! Since then, I began dog sitting for friends from my church. I knew if a dog came over, I would want it to be comfortable. I enjoy learning each dog's personality and needs because all dogs are different. My friend's dog doesn't like to be pet but loves to sit next to me. I learned that different dogs have different needs and wants. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs through walks, companionship, and learning each dog's unique personality and needs. Some dogs love affection while others prefer quiet company, and I respect and adjust to what makes each dog most comfortable. Dog sitting allows me to provide attentive, loving care while giving dogs a calm and supportive environment. I am working but I make my own schedule. I would take care of your baby just like my own, We would go for a walk at least twice a day. Ill feed once or twice a day, depending on instructions. My mom {Frances} lives right next door, and she is my emergency contact. She loves dogs too. She is a great help if I need to step out for a minute. I do enjoy seeing the dog happy and comfortable, the rest of the day will consist of making that happen. Your pet will get a one on one experience. I will care your pet just like I would do my own. Again, a home away from home. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is take my fur buddy outside. Next is breakfast and play time if it's preferred. I look for direction from the owner on specific things to know and look for to make my fur buddy comfortable. Safety is #1. Every decision is made with safety first in mind. Second is satisfaction for the pet and the owner.

I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know each pet and provide individualized care. Because there is almost always someone home, dogs receive plenty of supervision, companionship, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks, playing fetch, and helping pets feel relaxed and at home while their families are away. My goal is simple: to treat every dog like they’re part of the family and give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry friend is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hi there! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From a young age, I felt a special connection with them, and that passion eventually grew into a career dedicated to their health, safety, and well-being. I currently work remotely, full-time, for a nonprofit animal protection organization and have more than eight years of professional veterinary experience. I’ve worked in both a family-owned general practice and a specialty emergency animal hospital. As a companion animal owner myself, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your companion. Whether we’re going for a walk, enjoying playtime, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure your companion receives the attention, safety, structure, and affection they deserve. ❤️ Because I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Outside of occasional errands, travel, or personal commitments, I am generally available for afternoon and evening drop-in visits throughout the week. I am also available for in-home pet sitting, which allows your companion animal(s) to remain in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. PLEASE NOTE, for in-home pet sitting that falls on weekdays (Mon–Fri): As mentioned above, I work remotely and will need WiFi access throughout the day while caring for your companion animal(s). To help protect your network security, I recommend providing me with a temporary or guest password. Whether you’re out of town overnight or away for a few weeks, I am available to provide house and pet sitting in the comfort of your home. I believe it’s often best for companion animals to remain in their familiar environment, where they can maintain their normal routines and feel safe, secure, and comfortable. While you’re away, I will provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, enrichment, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection. I understand that trusting someone with both your companion animal(s) and your home is a big decision. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your companion is safe and well cared for while you’re away.

Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and they always seem to feel comfortable and happy around me. I welcome every new dog with patience, kindness, and a calm presence. I have three dogs of my own, and caring for them has taught me how to understand different dog personalities and needs. I make time to play with them, keep them active, and make sure they feel safe and loved. I enjoy long walks and I can keep up with dogs who walk fast. It is great exercise for both of us and a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoors. I recently moved into a new apartment and started a new job, and I hope that dog walking will help me earn a little extra while doing something I truly enjoy. I miss my dogs when I am away from them, so meeting new dogs or walking the same dog each week sounds like a lot of fun to me. Your dog will always be treated with care, attention, and respect. I look forward to spending time with your pup and making each walk a positive and happy experience. Pet care is part of my daily routine: feeding, walking, and playing with pets morning and evening, plus taking them to dog parks in the mornings when the weather is nice I care for pets by feeding, walking, playing with them daily, and ensuring they’re comfortable and safe at home or my client’s home. I also make sure to watch them and never leave them unattended
About: In 2012 I got my little Yorkie Paisley from a place called Puppy Town. Over the years me and Paisley has grown close and she has become my best friend. Within a few days, I had housebroken her, at first she didn’t know how to walk on a leash, but was practice and patience, she became a master of walking on a leash to the point that she enjoys walking. Although Paisley does not enjoy baths, I do give baths and it brings me joy to see her fresh and clean I have to brush her every day to maintain that beautiful golden coat. I’m afraid to clip her nails so I will take her to Banfield hospital to get her nails clipped. Over the years Paisley became older, and her eye sight has declined, so every morning I have to take the time to take her to her food. She knows where the bathroom is at, but sometimes she’ll have accidents and I have to be patient with her and I have to clean up her accidents and I have to keep an eye on her at all times to make sure she doesn’t hurt herself. Her food and water is still in the same place however, I had to rearrange some furniture and things to make it easier for her to get around… Every summer, I will purchase flea and tick protection, cause I can’t have no pests bothering my baby! Paisley is my best friend and even though she can’t see me anymore, she can sense when I’m there and still wants to cuddle up under me. I’m a landscape photographer, so I do do work in the golden hours however, I’ll be available to watch your best friend Monday through Friday in the early mornings 6am -5pm and also I can watch your furry friend in the evenings 7pm - 12am Weekends 6am - 5pm. Was Paisley I get up sometimes she sleeps but if she is up, she will automatically go to the bathroom when she’s done in the bathroom. I will take her to her bowls. I will feed her while she’s eating. I will clean up what it’s called a wee wee pad I live in an apartment and my room is pet friendly so your fur baby will have toys and also they will have water as well, in the kitchen is where I have their food so they will have access to food and water in the kitchen. Also, I live by a local park so your fur baby will never have to worry about being bored because I will take on walks to the park. Your fur baby will never be bored with me. We will go to the park, play with toys ,and I believe fur babies should always be indoors with a watchful eye.
“Tiara was a very reliable dog walker. She came everyday to walk my pup at lunch for a couple weeks. She sent updates and communicated when needed. Would recommend Tiara for dog walking!”
About: I’ve been working with animals for over 25 years, including 10 years as a veterinary technician and as a behavioral dog trainer. As a former vet tech, I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, topical, injectable), monitoring special-needs pets, and caring for both senior dogs and tiny puppies who need a little extra attention. My background in animal behavior allows me to read a dog’s body language, support anxious or high-energy pups, and create a calm, positive experience on every walk. Whether your dog needs structure, gentle reinforcement, behavior training, or just a patient friend, I’m confident, capable, and committed to their safety and comfort. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m currently not working a traditional job, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walking, caring for, and spending quality time with your fur baby. My schedule is very flexible — mornings, afternoons, evenings, and last-minute bookings all work for me. I love being outdoors, staying active, and making every walk a positive, enriching experience for the dogs I care for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize comfort, consistency, and following your routine exactly as you outline it. I’m a detail-oriented and caring individual, so whether your pet needs medication, a specific feeding schedule, gentle reassurance, or extra playtime, I make sure everything is done just the way you prefer. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
About: My experiences with animals have ranged from puppies to horses growing up. And I have previously dog sat for family friends over the last few years. I’m currently enrolled in college online. So I am available most of the week while working early mornings typically. Mornings, afternoons, nights. You name it. I like to keep a regular schedule for the pets, and I always make sure I’m there for the pet parents and their furry friends.

It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!”
“Marilyn is so professional and reliable, we are so happy to have found her. She took our dogs last minute and we have definitely found our fit! She has a very large yard which includes a huge portion of it dedicated for dogs which is separated by a fence, just what our furry friends needed, not to mention the care and individual attention that she provided. I would definitely recommend her, and I am sure we will be back. Thanks much Marilyn!!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our furbaby Rambo! He stayed over for 3 weeks and all the vidoes and photos showed us how comfortable and at home he felt! I am so happy we found Stephanie and will be using her services again! Thank you so much. He really enjoyed his time with Bailey too 😊”
“Artem was incredible! Our other Rover sitter fell through at the last minute, and he willingly took in our pup that same day, so we could catch our flight on time! He was very responsive, and it was clear that he kept a safe and structured environment for the dogs. I would highly recommend him and will definitely call on him the next time we need our dog boarded. Thank you again, Artem!”

“Very sweet, very communicative. Took a lot of interest in getting to know his likes/dislikes/routine to make sure he would be comfortable, and took great care of my Ash. Have already scheduled her for two more trips”
“Wyatt was absolutely fantastic with our Labrador Retriever while we were away for over two weeks. From the moment they met, my dog was instantly comfortable with him, which gave us a lot of confidence. Throughout our trip, Wyatt sent regular updates with photos, which was incredibly reassuring. It was obvious our dog was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. Wyatt took him on walks, gave him plenty of attention, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with him. It’s clear that Wyatt truly loves dogs, and that showed in the care he provided. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely trust Wyatt with our dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”
“Ashley was amazing. My dog, Nipsey, had a great time at her house. After the initial meet and greet, my worries all left as I could tell she would be the perfect person for the job. She was super attentive and followed all directions. She provided medications as needed but most importantly she gave him tons of love. I highly recommend Ashley if you're looking for a trustworthy person with a great heart and love for animals.”
“Sylwia is AMAZING. My dog absolutely loved her. She kept me posted the entire time she had my baby girl, and sent me pictures and videos of all the fun stuff they were doing together. She kept Hera’s routines, made sure she had enough exercises, etc. I can’t say enough good things about her, honestly! :)”
“Tyler & Patricia were amazing! I got daily updates and photos of my dog (adorable ones too!) and they were so kind and accommodating. I have already planned to book with them in the future. Sushi seemed to really love staying with them too :)”
“I am so thankful and grateful to have chosen Elaine to take care of our dog Jack. Those pictures sent to me were precious and we knew that Jack was taken cared of the way I expected. He was happy playing with the other dogs around him. Leaving Jack to a stranger was difficult but not to Elaine when I first talked to her at the meet and greet day. Thank again Elaine🤝😊❤️”
“Xenia was really great with my dog and I trust her as a loyal customer after my travel. She provided many updates and photos, kept a great walking/play routine, Gave his medication and and made me feel assured that my dog was having an excellent stay.”
“I didn’t have anyone to watch my dog when I went to the hospital to deliver my baby. Then I found Harley! She was very accommodating with the date because I wasn’t sure exactly when I was going to deliver and also I was very nervous about leaving my dog but Harley would send me pictures and keep me posted and reply to my text messages right away. The second time I left my dog with Harley, my dog had diarrhea and Harley took very good care of her and even gave her dog (Dixie’s) medication for diarrhea, of course with my permision. She’s the best!!!!”

We will definitely use Shane again in the future!”
