“Kyle & Desiree took such great care of our two dogs! The dogs came back relaxed and happy and we thoroughly enjoyed the daily photos they sent us while we were away!”
“Our dog LOVES staying with Yi Ling! He doesn’t even tell us goodbye anymore. We have taken him to her several times. It’s such a comfort to know that we can enjoy our time away, while he is being loved by Yi Ling! ❤️”
“Tamara was amazing! She is a great communicator. Kept me updated throughout the stay. Sent pictures and details that helped me feel better about a new sitter! Very nice and relaxed environment. Chewbacca loved Banjo and spending time with Tamara’s son. 100% would recommend, we will be back!”
“Amazing sitter! I’m always leery about leaving Deacon with strangers. Jessica was my first Rover sitter that I have used and I’m proud to say she will be my only sitter that I will use. Her communication, concern, care, and overall sitter skills were absolutely amazing. I can’t thank her enough for providing an outstanding experience.”
“Laurel and her family took great care of our dog! We received daily pics and knew he was getting lots of love, attention and playtime with their dogs! We will definitely rebook with laurel for future needs!”
“Darcy was fantastic, allows last minute bookings and was very kind. She sent pictures which were very appreciated and let me know how Obi was doing. Also had him ready to go when we picked him up. Would recommend and book again.”
“We were very happy that we found Erin and Sebastian to take care of Taz while we were on a trip. From our first meeting it was obvious they care about animals. Erin sent several updates and pictures during the week to let us know Taz was in good hands and doing fine. Will not hesitate to use them again if needed. Thanks again for your care.”
“Amber was amazing! She took such great care of Melek and was even kind enough to keep him a little longer than planned, which we really appreciated. Thank you so much for your flexibility and care”
“I can’t say enough about Meagan and her family! Bentley loves to be with them and they are wonderful! She sends pictures during his stay and he just fits so well into their family. Could not ask for a better Pet sitter.”
“Jeremy is very communicative and easy to work with! He was always sending us pictures to give us peace of mind. Our pup enjoyed his time at Jeremy’s and we would definitely have him go back.”
“This is our second time using Kim and we just love her so much! She goes above and beyond taking care of our dog Gypsy and sends daily updates and photos. I know Gypsy has a wonderful time there and comes a very happy and content pup.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during such a difficult time. While we were laying my grandmother to rest, Misty gave us peace of mind and even a reason to smile. Her communication was excellent, lots of photos and videos that really helped ease my wife’s stress. When our flight got canceled, she graciously kept our dog an extra day without hesitation, which meant so much to us. Our dog clearly had an amazing time. She fell in love with her daughter and played tons of catch. We will absolutely be using her again. Only downside? When we got home, our dog was bored 😂 which tells you everything.”
“Delane was very flexible with working around my holiday plans to arrange drop off and pick up times for my pup. I got regular pictures of Walnut and when I picked her up, her tail was clearly wagging and she was happy in Delane's home. Would definitely ask her to dogsit again!”
“Haley and David took great care of our dog Ginger while we were gone for 6 nights. They kept us updated by text and photos which made us feel good that she was being well taken care of.”
“Heather was awesome and her attention to my dog makes me feel so comfortable leaving him in her care. You can really tell how much she loves animals and her flexibility and communication has been amazing.”

“Can't say enough about how great Christina was with Kit-Cat! This was the first time leaving her alone & we were hesitant... Christina's warmth & love of animals was apparent from our first meeting. Searching for a reliable cat sitter can be stressful, but she made the entire process seamless. She provided consistent updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Thank you Christina!!!”
About: I’ve always been trusted to take care of other’s pets while they’re away even before I was old enough to join Rover. I’ve owned all kinds of breeds, I’ve rescued and raised since kitten age. I’m comfortable with all kinds of cats, shy ones, frisky ones, lazy ones, etc. Trust me to keep your cat in safe hands! 🐾
“This was my first experience using Rover, and to be honest, I was initially worried. After asking a couple of pet sitters, I believe I made the best decision in choosing Amaya. I had the pleasure of having Amaya take care of my beloved cat, Baloo, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and dedication she provided. Throughout her visits, Amaya went above and beyond to ensure Baloo's well-being. She consistently updated me with detailed messages, keeping me informed about Baloo's meals, water refreshments, litter box cleaning, and even the extra effort to engage him in play and brushing. What truly stood out was Amaya's patience and understanding of Baloo's shy nature. She took the time to let him come out and get used to her presence on his own terms, resulting in heartwarming progress. The updates she provided, such as Baloo coming out for pets and brushing, truly reflect her commitment to creating a comfortable and trusting environment for him. Amaya demonstrated not only professionalism but also genuine care and affection towards Baloo. Her efforts to make each visit a positive experience for him were evident, and I'm grateful for the progress she achieved in getting him to warm up. I highly recommend Amaya for her exceptional pet sitting services. Baloo and I are fortunate to have found someone so dedicated and caring. Thank you, Amaya, for your outstanding service!”
“Belinda provided daily drop-ins for our family cat during an extended holiday vacation. She was responsive, flexible and reliable from start to finish. We knew our kitty was in great hands and we loved the daily pictures of him enjoying his treats. We took comfort knowing another animal lover was looking after him, including getting his daily medicine. We'd definitely use her services again!”
“I was nervous to leave my 2 cats for an extended trip. I found Sheryl here on Rover. Sheryl was FANTASTIC with them and has helped ease any nervousness I have about leaving them (especially if they're in her care). Sheryl was prompt and on-time with her visits. She communicated with me as needed and provided daily updates along with photos of my little guys. I'd recommend Sheryl as a pet sitter, hands down. I will absolutely book her again for future trips!”
About: I have always been around animals, never in my life have I not had a dog. Growing up I volunteered at the local animal shelter walking, training and taking care of the animals there. Once I got my own car I started sitting for friends and family. As a massage therapist I took animal massage courses in school, I am very comfortable handling animals. I love being outdoors and active, I am very excited about being a dog walker. In my home we are very relaxed, allowing our pets lots of room and freedoms to play inside and outside in the fenced yard as well as lounge on the couches and pet beds. We don't use crates or keep animals separated unless instructed by their people, we like for the dogs to be together and play with eachother! That being said, we do have spare rooms for pets that have social anxieties. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! When I work I am home by noon to give potty breaks and lots of love and attention! My back yard is a nice fenced yard for safe play time and potty breaks. I have 2 dogs to keep your furbaby company during their stay. Crates are available if preferred for alone time or night time.
About: Hi! I’m an experienced cat lover with a passion for providing top-notch care. I have two female cats, Tigerlily and Tanner, who I’ve raised since they were kittens, so I know how important it is to make sure your feline friends feel loved, safe, and comfortable when you're away. Whether your cat needs a bit of extra attention, playtime, or just a quiet companion, I’m here to make sure they feel right at home. I have experience with shy or unsocialized cats, so I’m great with cats who need a little patience and understanding. Since I work from home, my schedule is super flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate last-minute bookings or midday check ins. If you want peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands, I’d love to help! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to chat about your cat's unique needs. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby!
About: I’ve owned animals my whole life and take great pride in making sure they are well taken care of. I’ve often been told that my animals are spoiled, but I like knowing they are happy and safe. I’ve taken care of pets for friends and family many times, and treat them as if they are my own. I’m currently working part time in the morning/early afternoons so I am available in the afternoons/evenings and weekends for walking and caring for your pets, I let my personal pets in my house, and like to play with them outside when possible. I am willing to crate your pets if needed, and will play with your pets to let them burn off energy.
“Anna did a great job at helping our cats feel comfortable around her and ensure they got attention while we were out of town. They were happy to have her around, and get some time and attention while I was out of town.”
“Aj is absolutely wonderful with our two kitties and our home! Communication is quick, home visits are reliable, photos and thorough descriptions of the drop-ins are always provided, and most of all... both our cats (even our shy guy) are comfortable around Aj and get enough love/play that we get to come home to a happy house each time.”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Trixie has so much fun going to see Amelia and playing with her 2 dogs. I get pictures throughout the day, and Trixie is so happy and also worn out from playing when I pick her up. Great sitter!”
“Knew when I met them, I'd book the next. Now that the first one is over, I have no regrets! I booked Kyle and Desiree for daycare. It's my first time leaving my dog with strangers, and I was so nervous! They checked in during the day and took great pictures! Looking forwaed to the next sit, already!”
“Erin and Sebastian went above and beyond in caring for our pup Percy! We had a last-minute request, and they were incredibly accommodating, responsive, and kind. Throughout the day, they kept us updated with plenty of photos and made sure Percy was entertained and comfortable. With his medical needs, including medication administration, they were attentive and thorough—we could tell he was in great hands. It’s clear they genuinely love and care for the animals they look after. If you’re looking for trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate pet sitters on Rover, I can’t recommend Erin and Sebastian enough!”
“June was awesome! My little guy doesn't stay many other places but home and my friends. I moved away from my friends and needed the occasional sitter. She is very communicative and friendly. Dexter can be a timid pup but she made him feel at home for the day! Thanks again!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for a very long time. I’m an animal lover. I am dependable, reliable and trustworthy and looking forward to taking care of your fur babies. I am a stay at home mom for the last 13 years. My kids are in school and wanting to take care of pets full time. I have a doggy door that goes out to my fenced in yard and My whole family will give lots of love to your pet
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, but most of my pet care experience comes from my own dog, Tuna. I adopted Tuna in 2014, when he was a year old, and he lived with me for 12 wonderful years until he crossed the rainbow bridge in October 2025. I am becoming a Rover sitter to bring the companionship of a dog back into my life while offering other pet parents the highest level of dedicated care. Through caring for Tuna and my family's dogs over the years, I have extensive experience with all types of dogs, including highly active young adults and seniors requiring specialized care. As a former pet parent, I understand how stressful it is to leave your dog with someone else and trust they will be cared for as you would. I aim to ease that stress with loving, supportive, and dedicated care. I have included more detailed information on my experience below. Senior care: -Experienced in administering daily oral medications and supplements while managing strict dosing schedules. -Familiar with guiding dogs through physical therapy exercises, managing arthritis, and accommodating the slower pace of aging pets. -Experienced in managing complex nutritional needs, including transition care, dehydrated food, and preparing fresh meals from scratch. -Ability to manage specialized routines, including transporting pets to appointments such as veterinary acupuncture or maintaining routines for such appointments. Behavioral needs: -Experienced caring for a highly reactive dog with a history of abuse. -Familiar with reading dog body language, avoiding triggers during walks, and managing anxious or fearful dogs. -Skilled at establishing a calm, low-stress environment for dogs who need extra time to warm up to new people or spaces. Exercise needs: -Well-versed in safely handling dogs while hiking, camping, and swimming in the Colorado outdoors. -Accustomed to providing multiple structured walks a day, tailored to your dog's energy level. Hygiene needs: -Routine experience with monthly bathing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning. I work almost entirely from home Monday through Friday (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). While I keep regular work hours, my job offers excellent flexibility. This means your pup won't be left alone; I am readily available throughout the day for potty breaks, neighborhood walks, and dedicated playtime. If your pet requires a specific medication schedule, multiple feedings a day, or extra companionship while you are away, I can seamlessly integrate their routine into my workday. When your pet is with me, they are treated like family. I aim to provide a safe, structured, and deeply affectionate environment so you can have total peace of mind. If they are used to cuddling on the couch or sleeping in bed, they are more than welcome to do so. However, I am happy to enforce any house rules and boundaries you already have in place. Overall, I maintain a very clean, organized, and pet-proofed home. All trash cans have lids, plants are kept out of reach, and miscellaneous items are never left out where a dog can reach them. I live in a third-floor apartment with no elevator. My home is best suited for dogs who are fully mobile or small enough to be easily carried, as we will need to navigate two flights of stairs for every outing. My apartment complex features a private dog park and plenty of walking paths. I also have access to a community doggy bathing station, which is perfect if your dog requires bathing while in my care.
“George and Abigail are fantastic dog sitters. You can see they really love all dogs. Our dog Luna can be timid, but she gets so excited to go to their house. Her new besties are Mac and Gus, their dogs. She has a great time playing all day. I would highly recommend them for any type of Pet care !”
“Cooper loves Carrie! And she loves him. He’s tired when he comes home, so I’m so happy he gets to play with his friends. Thank you for all the photos during the day, so I can see my boy having fun with the others.”
About: I’ve been pet-sitting for friends and family over the past few years, and it’s become something I truly enjoy. Most pets warm up to me pretty quickly, and I enjoy giving them the attention, care, and love they deserve. I like to get dogs out for plenty of walks. I’ve found that regular exercise is one of the best ways to keep them calm, especially if they are anxious while you’re gone. Cats will get lots of petting and playtime as well. I know that leaving your pet in the care of someone new can be a leap of faith, so I’m happy to send plenty of pictures and updates. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like they’re my own and want you to feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away. My routine is flexible and centered around each cat’s needs. I typically start the day by feeding them, giving any medications if needed, and spending a few minutes offering attention and affection if they’re in the mood. I know every cat has a different personality and routine, so I’m happy to follow whatever schedule they’re used to. Some cats love company and plenty of petting, while others prefer a quiet day and their own space. I’m comfortable with both and let each cat set the pace while making sure they’re well cared for and comfortable. I know that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I make it a priority to follow your instructions closely (a written list is extremely helpful), keep your cat’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they always have fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. I’m attentive to any changes in behavior and will communicate with you promptly if I notice anything concerning. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your cat is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and always leave it just as I found it.
“From start to finish I was absolutely amazed by the kindness and professionalism that I was shown! I always appreciate when my pup can do a meet and greet so I can have the peace of mind knowing he is comfortable in the environment I am leaving him in. During the stay I got pictures of how well my baby was doing. And when I had an unexpected trip to urgent care for my family member they were able to keep my pup happy for a bit longer than what was planned. He came home and crashed because he was so tired from his big play date! 10/10 would recommend!!”
About: Hi! I’m Brandt, a reliable and attentive pet sitter who adores spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I treat every pet like they’re my own. I provide: • Safe, structured, and engaging walks • Attention to your dog’s pace, personality, and needs • Consistent routines to keep pets comfortable and stress free • Plenty of attention, playtime, and positive interaction My primary focus right now is to meet new people to help and new pets to include into my caregiving routine. My overall schedule is very flexible, and am willing to meet at any hours of the day. I have a fenced yard and one extremely goofy and lovable small dog named Colt. For every client, I will take thorough notes to ensure complete confidence, whether it's specific attention needs, medication needs, or general requests.
“Ben took the best care of my 4 month old puppy. My pup came back so happy and tired from all the playing that he did. Ben is very professional and responds immediately. He is incredibly good with all dogs, we are so glad that we found him.”
“Andrea and Pumpkin were great! We were able to do a meet and greet with them a few days before my dogs dog day care stay, which was very much appreciated! Andrea provided updates and pictures throughout the day and was very accommodating for my dog. Thank you again Andrea!”
About: Hello there! My name is Danielle and I would love to spend some time with your fur babies! I grew up with a bunch of pups running around (although I do not have any of my own now) and I have been sitting through Rover for almost 10 years, so I have a lot of experience to bring to the table :) Most of my experience is with rescue pups (including any quirks that they may have because of this) but over the years I've stayed with a bunch of elderly pets who require extra attention, meds, specialized care, etc. But I love to take care of all types of animals - I've been tasked to care for dogs and cats but other animals as well including lizards/bearded dragons, a few different types of large birds and even donkeys! I'm happy to work with you to provide the best care to your fur babies while I am watching them. I know different dogs and even different breeds can have wildly different needs and my goal is to keep them as calm and happy as possible while you are away. All my services are in your home only, including day care. Drop ins are for visits less than 1 hour (sometimes multiples per day), Day Care is longer visits (usually between 4-8 hours per day) but no overnights and housesitting is full time, 24 hour care including overnights. ***Rover has taken away full autonomy of our calendars. The Rover calendar only shows approx 80% of my housesitting availability. To see all available days (I update frequently), please look under "Availability" I freelance so I can work from home (aka right from your couch or home office.) As long as you can share your wifi password, I can be with them as needed. I can easily make sure I'm there to check in on them/work around their schedule. I'll most likely be with them more often than not during the day, and can stay with them all night as well. **Rover's housesitting calender only shows about 80% of my availability, below lists my full availability. I'll update regularly. If you're looking for something farther out/not listed, I'd love to hear from you! Available Housesitting Dates 2026 Oct 10-15th Nov 22-27th I will treat your pets and your home like it's my own. I will try my best to keep your fur babies on their normal, daily schedule. The only difference is that I would be the human doing the feeding, walking, snuggling, etc instead of the pet parent(s). I find this works best for most pets, and their parents, especially if there is any separation anxiety. During our meet and greet, I'll ask all about their daily schedule so I know how to best care for your fur babies during my stay. I work from home (aka right from your couch or home office), so I can be there with them most of the day and cater to their normal daily schedule :) Please be aware - during extreme temperature months, outside time (walks, etc) may be modified for everyone's health and safety. For example, in the winter/cold months, walks will primarily be done around mid day when it is warmest and during summer, walks would be done early or late to avoid the hottest times of the day. I am happy to discuss this with you during our meet and greet to come to an arrangement that works for everyone

About: Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet mom with a home full of personalities - including 4 dogs (Great Dane puppy mixes, a Great Pyr mix, and a senior pittie who keeps things interesting) and 3 cats. Because of that, I am super comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and temperaments - from giant, high energy dogs, to tiny sensitive guys who need a little extra love, and even the occasional grumpy senior. I truly understand how important it is to keep pets in their normal routine while you're away and I have experience with training, medicine administration, and specialized diets as well as feeding schedules. My goal during every interaction with your babies is to make them as comfy as possible while maintaining their routine, and make them feel loved while their people are away. I am especially patient with shy, anxious, or older pets and always adjust my approach based on what they need. I also know how important communication is, so you will get updates and photos regularly! As a pet mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your babies with someone, so I make sure to treat every pet like they're my own! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate most drop-in visits, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and pet care routines throughout the day. Since caring for my own pets is already a part of my daily routine, providing reliable and consistent care for other pets fits very naturally into my schedule. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. I am used to managing multiple pets with different personalities, feeding schedules, diets, and energy levels. Safety, consistency and comfort are always my priority. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, fresh food & water, meds if needed, and love! I am happy to follow specific instructions closely. I am also open to pet sitting in my home for animals who are dog, cat and kid friendly. My home is very pet-centered, and I understand how important it is for animals to feel safe and cared for.
“Tamara has been a tremendous help for us including squeezing in last minute requests. She has been reliable and attentive to our dog’s needs and takes extra care to spend time with him. She truly cares our dog’s well-being and I would not hesitate to recommend her.”
“Wyatt absolutely loves this time with Sheryl and looks forward to her knocking on the door! Very thankful and grateful for her time and help! She is courteous to my at home office hours and is always wonderful at picking Wyatt up and dropping him off without interrupting my day. She’s amazing!”
“Brooklyn is excellent with Eira, I always know I can trust her to treat her with all the love and care that we would! It is always a relief to have someone so reliable and trustworthy to help keep Eira happy and occupied when we are working!”
About: I currently own 2 cats but I've taken care of a variety of dog breeds since I was young as I grew up with dogs. From Saint Bernard's and Chows, to pomeranians and chihuahuas.

I also have taken care of other animals such as, chickens, horses, turtles, lizards, and even a snake! Im happy to take care of anything around the house that is needed as well! I'm using Rover as a way to pay off student loans! I have a flexible day job during the week, perfect for drop in visits as I run around to various locations! Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, my days are wide open so I'm able to be eith your pets as much as needed. I will do everything I can to make sure any routine for your furry friend is kept in place while you're away. No food routine or ritual is too complex. More than willing to walk dogs and make sure they stretch their legs. Will always make sure the house is safe and untouched when I leave.
“Hershey is so lucky to have Keandra look after him. She is very reliable. He always seems to be in great spirits when I return. Thank you for doing suck a great job!”

About: I've house and pet sit for friends & family for years, due to my size I can walk more than one big dog at a time. I'm a Lyft driver so pets and home can come first during my work week without any worries because I set my own schedule at Lyft. I will provide the exact rules that you leave for your home and pets and act as if I could be you the parents as much as I able while you're gone.
“Eric is way more than I expected. I haven't used others to walk my dog, but I just had major surgery and had no alternative. Callie anxiously awaits Eric's arrival and is so excited to go with him. It makes my heart sing. He clearly understands dogs.”
About: With over 25 years of hands-on pet care experience, I treat every dog like they’re my own family. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies learning the world to senior pups who need a gentler touch. My approach is focused on safety, patience, and creating a calm, positive environment that helps every dog feel secure and understood. Work full-time and wanting to assist others by taking care of their dogs on my weekend. Very flexible and can assist as much as I’m needed. I’ve had dogs growing up my entire life. When someone welcomes me into their home I will treat their dogs like I would my own.
About: Hi everyone! My name is Hailey and I have been pet sitting for around 15 years, and I can’t wait to continue that journey. I offer dog walking and drop in visits. I have experience with a very diverse group of dogs from all sizes, breeds, and ages. I also have experience with cats, rodents, and reptiles. I have many references that can confirm I have a great work ethic and will take great care of your precious animals. I also have a German Shepherd of my own named Caya. I absolutely adore animals and my time spent watching your babies is more of a hobby than work for me. Please contact me if my services interest you! I am currently on a break from work while I am being credentialed at my new clinic. I have lots of free time and availability throughout the week. Your home is your safe space and I will make sure to always respect your space during drop in visits. I’m there to take care of your pets and and make sure they are fed and comfortable!

About: I moved to Johnstown Farms last February and have absolutely fallen in love with the community here. I bring many years of experience caring for both cats and dogs—including my own—so I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets while you’re away. My two cats, Tigerlily (13) and Tanner (10), are a big part of my life and have been with me since they were young. Tigerlily was rescued from a college parking lot and is a total princess who loves sunbathing and will absolutely let you know when she wants treats or the blinds opened so she can soak up the sun. Tanner is my “foster fail,” adopted after I took in her and her siblings from a difficult situation involving stray cats being poisoned in the neighborhood. She is very playful and rambunctious, but also one of the best cuddle buddies. I grew up with dogs and still have a beloved family dog who lives with my parents. I’m very active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks and making sure they get both exercise and enrichment. I also have experience with feral and unsocialized cats, so I’m comfortable working with a wide range of temperaments, routines, and needs. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate midday check-ins and sometimes last-minute bookings. I’m always happy to tailor my visits to your pet’s personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to connect and meet you and your furry family members! Not only do I work from home so my schedule is quite flexible but I am also a morning person, so my day starts at 6am in the morning and typically includes 2 miles walk that I would be happy to share with a pup. I think its important not to leave pets unattended while playing in the yard (dogs) or to make sure they are supervised when playing with certain toys (cats).
About: Hello, my name is May, and I use any pronouns. I grew up taking care of animals, and I have wanted to care, protect, treat, and defend them since I could breathe. I am a certified dog trainer and I have multiple years of professional animal care experience outside of Rover. My interests are medicine, welfare, conservation, education, and ecology. My skills are grooming, lodging, daycare, training, education, and medical care. I have even worked with dogs from k9 and search & rescue teams. I have experience caring for dog, cat, fish, turtle, chicken, guinea pig, lizard, and bird. I am a cat mother and fingers crossed a dog mom someday soon as well. I can take care of your pets/companion animals from any age, breed, or size. You name it, and I will be there for them. Common questions: What if my companion animal has a medical condition? You let me know what they need, and I can accommodate them, even if they have behavioral struggles. I am patient, understanding, and gentle. What if they need medications? No need to worry. I can administer medications via subcutaneous, transdermal, oral pills or liquids, or even instramuscular per perscription instructions. What if they are high energy? High energy animals have high activity levels, which means they require frequent exercise and attention. To accomodate these needs, I can be available for multiple daily visits, walk them, and even curate a training plan for them. Your animal family members deserve the best. They deserve a professional. Not just someone who loves them, but one who you can trust to care for them in every capacity while you're away in safe hands. My skills: ✨️ Administering medications (via any route; Oral liquid or pill, IM, SQ, Transdermal) ✨️ Grooming/Bathing ✨️ Nail Trims ✨️ Meal Prep & Feeding ✨️ Animal Behavior ✨️ Training ✨️ Medical Care Rover is something I fit into my life whenever I can while I work & continue education. Some seasons are busier than others, and that's normal. Companion Care is already a part of my daily life, so these requests come as a breeze for me. I try to update my calender monthly, but if things don't look right, if your other sitter isn't available, or if you just need someone ASAP, you are always free to message me any time in the app. I try to reply as soon as possible, but sometimes I don't recieve notifications, so it may take me a few hours to reply in some instances. My calender should reflect my un-availability at minimum. If you have any questions, please message me as I am flexible and will accommodate where possible. Keeping things fear-free as much as possible is a priority for me. I like to keep things calm, relaxing, and easy or neutral. When I meet them for the first time during the meet & greet, I wait for them to come up to me. It's what they are comfortable with. This helps everyone establish trust and familiarity. My hope is that I can be your go to whenever you need companion care. Sometimes, I use miracle tones to help with fear, it is soothing and calming for all. Wildlife or "Pet" TV is a great option to add to their environment while you are away as it helps them feel less alone and gives them something to interact with. I like to stick to a rhythm or routine. As I enter their palace, I introduce myself gently by using a high pitched soft tone and a treat. Then, I let them sniff me out before they welcome me through. Any grievances? No siree! Next, I like to start feedings and medications after activities. But, I take it at their pace. Afterwards, I will take care of cleaning & notes before my departure from their palace. What I value during my bookings: 💖Trust/Familiarity (Completing the Meet&Greet & sticking to a rhythm or routine) 💖Safety (Keeping doors locked) 💖Compassion (Always stay kind, patient & considerate) 💖Comfort (Temperature in the home, toys, beds) 💖Respect (Their boundaries and space) 💖Quality care/Ensuring all goals are met (Fulfilling all visit requirements) I will not force anything.

“Kyle & Desiree took such great care of our two dogs! The dogs came back relaxed and happy and we thoroughly enjoyed the daily photos they sent us while we were away!”
“Our dog LOVES staying with Yi Ling! He doesn’t even tell us goodbye anymore. We have taken him to her several times. It’s such a comfort to know that we can enjoy our time away, while he is being loved by Yi Ling! ❤️”
“Amazing sitter! I’m always leery about leaving Deacon with strangers. Jessica was my first Rover sitter that I have used and I’m proud to say she will be my only sitter that I will use. Her communication, concern, care, and overall sitter skills were absolutely amazing. I can’t thank her enough for providing an outstanding experience.”
“Darcy was fantastic, allows last minute bookings and was very kind. She sent pictures which were very appreciated and let me know how Obi was doing. Also had him ready to go when we picked him up. Would recommend and book again.”
“Amber was amazing! She took such great care of Melek and was even kind enough to keep him a little longer than planned, which we really appreciated. Thank you so much for your flexibility and care”
“I can’t say enough about Meagan and her family! Bentley loves to be with them and they are wonderful! She sends pictures during his stay and he just fits so well into their family. Could not ask for a better Pet sitter.”
“Jeremy is very communicative and easy to work with! He was always sending us pictures to give us peace of mind. Our pup enjoyed his time at Jeremy’s and we would definitely have him go back.”
“This is our second time using Kim and we just love her so much! She goes above and beyond taking care of our dog Gypsy and sends daily updates and photos. I know Gypsy has a wonderful time there and comes a very happy and content pup.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during such a difficult time. While we were laying my grandmother to rest, Misty gave us peace of mind and even a reason to smile. Her communication was excellent, lots of photos and videos that really helped ease my wife’s stress. When our flight got canceled, she graciously kept our dog an extra day without hesitation, which meant so much to us. Our dog clearly had an amazing time. She fell in love with her daughter and played tons of catch. We will absolutely be using her again. Only downside? When we got home, our dog was bored 😂 which tells you everything.”
“Haley and David took great care of our dog Ginger while we were gone for 6 nights. They kept us updated by text and photos which made us feel good that she was being well taken care of.”
“Heather was awesome and her attention to my dog makes me feel so comfortable leaving him in her care. You can really tell how much she loves animals and her flexibility and communication has been amazing.”
“We had a great experience with Alex. He is very kind and is a dog lover. He was great with communication and drop off pickup and being flexible with our times. He let us enjoy our trip but sent a few messages and took amazing photos of our dog Chip. He was thoughtful and gave us some prints and a magnet of his photography of our cutie pup Chip. We will definitely be using Alex again. Thank you!”
“Shyla was great!! She offered the time for a meet and greet ahead of time. During our dogs’ stay, she sent many updates and pics/ videos to let us know how things were going. We will plan to book her again!”
“Dalia and Dainius are great! I was able to do a meet and greet prior to the booking- they were very detailed and kind. They took excellent care of my dog during her stay, updated with pictures, and went on a lovely walk. Thank you again for watching Ethel!”
“We honestly can't thank Jen enough for the love and care she gave Hobbes while we were away. Leaving him is never easy, but we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable, compassionate hands. Jen didn't just check the boxes-she truly cared for Hobbes like he was her own. I got thoughtful updates and sweet photos that made us smile and reassured us he was happy, safe, and well cared for. Hobbes came home calm, content, and clearly well-loved. That kind of peace of mind is priceless, and we are so grateful we found someone we can trust so deeply. If you're looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond, We can't recommend Jen enough. We'll absolutely be booking her again.”
