My mind was at ease because they are dog people! Knowledgeable, attentive and so kind to my senior dogs. Calvin and Cleo thought they found a new home 😁 I will book them every time! Thank you!!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and although I was hesitant I’m glad I went through with it. Christian is really gifted at what he does for your pets. He is attentive, extremely patient and will consistently keep you updated about your pet’s wellbeing. I would suggest Christian to look after your pet.”
“I cannot recommend Kyli highly enough! She recently cared for my two dogs and went above and beyond in every aspect of her service. She was incredibly accommodating to my last-minute schedule changes, which I truly appreciated. Kyli kept me updated throughout their stay with regular messages and photos, giving me complete peace of mind. Her communication was outstanding—she responded to every text message almost immediately, making it easy to stay connected and reassured. It was clear my dogs were well cared for and happy under her supervision. Kyli’s professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“This was our second time booking with Mason & Kassandra and once again they exceeded our expectations! Leaving our dog Hailey behind is never easy, but they make the entire experience completely stress-free. From the moment we dropped our dog off, we knew she was in great hands. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our dog was getting plenty of love, attention, and excellent care. When we picked our dog up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly felt right at home. That says everything about the kind of care they provide. We are so grateful to have found such a reliable, kind, and trustworthy sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family. Thank you for another wonderful stay!”
“Megan was amazing! It was my first time using Rover and she made it incredibly simple. Our cat, Ursa, has trouble using the litter box sometimes but Megan knew exactly how to handle it and gave us some tips on what we can do for her in our home. She will be our go-to when we go out and f town.”
“Joanne was great. I know my dogs loved her. She sent me videos of them and they just looked happy and she was petting them and loving on them so I felt really at ease. I was scared to leave them because 13 years I have never left them with anybody she’s the first one that they’ve ever been with without me and I felt really good about it when I picked them up. Thank you, Joann.”
“Annette was Wonderful ? to my baby boy Lil Monster. She was caring to his personality & helped him over come some "friendliness" issues.

Thanks Annette- Happy we all met ?”

Seeing our dogs so happy, comfortable, and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our trip. It’s clear, Vivian genuinely loves animals and treated our dogs like they were her own. We are incredibly grateful for the care, attention, and kindness she showed them.

“Isabella did a great job taking care of our senior cat. She communicated right away when Punkin was too stressed and anxious to give her medicine. She suggested another way which worked well. The communication every day through Rover eased my mind about leaving Punkin by herself. We will definitely be using Isabella again.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have experience with all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, small animals, reptiles, and more. My husband and I currently have 6 cats and 2 dogs so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. ❤️ Safety is always my #1 priority. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, body language, and individual needs. Whether your pet is outgoing and wants to be my best friend immediately or needs a little extra time and patience to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I also know firsthand just how particular animals can be! If your pet will only eat in a certain room, needs their food prepared a specific way, prefers you to stand nearby while they eat, has a special feeding routine, or has any other little quirks I completely understand. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and keeping their routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. I have a Corgi if that helps confirm anything 😂 I’m happy to follow specific instructions for feeding, treats, walks, potty routines, medications, crates, sleeping arrangements, playtime, or anything else that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. No detail is “too much” when it comes to your animals, you know them best, and I want to care for them the way you would. Most importantly, I want you to be able to leave home without worrying about whether your pets are safe, comfortable, and being loved. I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and care I’d want someone to give my own. And yes, I’m absolutely the type of sitter who will happily send you plenty of pictures and updates so you can see how your babies are doing while you’re away! 🤍 My schedule is pretty flexible! My husband and I work from home so I have extra free time during the week and most weekends. I can work with your schedule. I am able to provide care inside and outside of my home. One of my dogs is reactive on walks however he is best friends with our other dog who is much smaller. He would be perfectly fine with a smaller dog in our house but I am not comfortable bringing a bigger dog into his space. We have a pretty decent size, fenced in back yard for them to run around.
“Shawnee was so great! We needed a last minute pet sitter when ours fell sick, and couldn’t be happier we found her! We have a cat that requires daily medication, and Shawnee was able to come over at a consistent time every day to administer the medication and give all 5 of our cats some love and attention, and provided us with detailed updates every day, and pictures. We would definitely recommend her, and would use her again!”
“Karla was amazing at taking care of our cat while we were out of town. She did everything we asked of her and I could tell my kitty loved her too! Very communicative and punctual”
“When Cinder and I met Ruth, we knew it’d be a great fit! I was out of the country for quite some time and Ruth had me feeling at ease knowing she was taking great care of Cinder. The report cards with photos were exactly what I needed to know he was perfectly fine. I would recommend Ruth to anyone that needs a sitter!!”
“Elizabeth is kind, attentive, and all around a pleasure to book with! She is great at providing individualized care for our two kitties with very different personalities: she is kind and gentle with our shy kitty and makes him feel safe. She also plays with her more rambunctious kitty and helps get her wiggles out. Excited to continue booking with her. 🫶”
About: I have about a year of experience caring for cats through cat sitting and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, giving attention and playtime, and following each owner’s specific instructions. I genuinely love cats and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Shannon is not only a pet sitter. She gets to know you and your pets before even starting!! She became a friend and made me feel so comfortable while I was away!! Thanks Shannon :)”
“This is the second time I have had this lovely couple babysit my cat while I was out of town! The attention to detail is outstanding and I will continue to re book. I feel extremely at ease leaving town when they are checking on my cat. Thank you again!”
About: * All dog Walks include basic skill work (sit, heel, stay, and to walk calmly next to you) Volunteered and worked with the SPCA as a dog trainer, walker, and pet supervisor to nursing home visits. I have been trained in positive reinforcement techniques as well as worked through dog obedience training. I love encouraging a happy and well-mannered dog through treats (toys or food), plenty of exercise and socialization. I am an extremely active person with three medium sized dogs myself. We enjoy daily runs and plenty of play time - I work part-time and do not have children, so most of my time is devoted to my pets. I am available to walk/run with your dog, watch them overnight (boarding at my house preferred), as well as make house visits. One of my favorite hobbies is taking portrait photos of your furry-pets! So rest assured you will receive cell phone pictures and usually a high quality professional camera photo of your fur baby as well! (See photos for examples) Please allow me the pleasure of loving on your pet while you are away 🐾💕 I am a wedding photographer and currently on my break as my busy season just ended. My daily schedule is free to devote to my clients and my own pets! I value safety and believe communication is extremely important, both between the client and I and between your pet and myself. Being aware of your pets needs, anxiety levels, and demeanor is helpful to build trust with your pet and establish a calm and productive training walk :) Please let me know if anything comes to mind in the message on additional safety steps your home or pet requires.
About: I've had a few cats growing up. I've always adopted cats and have experienced a range of cattitudes from stand-offish to super super snuggly. Currently, I have two cats and both of them are super playful and snuggly. Most days they follow me around the house and get lots of pets and cuddle time.
About: I am almost done with my CVA, which has given me hands on experience with animal care and a strong understanding of animal behavior, basic health needs, and how to recognize when a pet may be stressed, uncomfortable, or need extra attention. I’m very attentive to routines like feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific care instructions you have for your pet. I also volunteered at a horse rescue for 6 years, which has helped me become even more patient and comfortable working with animals that all have different personalities and needs. Whether your pet is a playful puppy who needs consistency and extra energy or an older pet who needs a gentler approach, I’m confident in providing calm, dependable care and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I currently attend CVA school and as of right now im doing the externship part, I will be done early October! Outside of school, I’m available the rest of the day and can realistically spend most, if not all, of my time with your pet. I also care for my own animals every day, including my dogs, cat, and reptiles—a snake, bearded dragon, turtle, and leopard gecko—so feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, cleaning cages, and keeping their spaces clean are all part of my normal routine. My entire day is basically centered around animals between school and caring for my own pets, so pet sitting fits very naturally into my life. I care for pets with a lot of attention, and fun! I usually feed my pets at the same time every day and follow a schedule, but I keep it flexible so it works for each pet’s needs. I give dry food and simple medications like NexGard but, I also have experience handling special diets and other medications. Playtime happens whenever pets seem bored or want to go outside. I have lots of toys, treats, and fun activities inside, and I enjoy running with dogs outside or taking them on car rides. I also do some basic training for fun, though I’m not a professional trainer. I keep spaces clean and comfortable, cages and tanks are cleaned regularly, puppy pads are replaced, and everything is wiped down with disinfectant as needed. Pets have their own quiet areas, toys, and treats to feel calm and safe. I’m very observant of their behavior, so I can notice when something feels off. Pets aren’t left alone for long, except when I’m at school for a few hours. I’m used to managing multiple pets at once by keeping a close eye on everyone and giving each animal their own space when needed. My home is very clean, and I constantly sweep, mop, and vacuum. Overall, I make sure pets are happy, safe, and comfortable, and I treat them as part of my family giving lots of love, attention, and care every day.

“Being our first time little our little pups for the first time, we were quite nervous and worried about leaving them for the day in a new environment. We were very quickly put as easy with Karla's amazing, calm and caring nature and obvious genuine love of animals. Our dogs took to her straight away and not only were ok for the day, but had an associate blast with Karla and her little Coco. She sent us updates, photos and videos that made us feel beyond at ease, but so happy that our little ones were having a great time! ☺️ We are delighted to have Karla as an amazing person to look after our pooches at times we need to be away in the future as we know they will have the best care and it actually be an enjoyable, fun adventure for them! Cannot recommend and thank Karla enough for her brilliant care and genuine love and gift she has for animals ☺️?”
“Megan was more than accommodating! She agreed to meet with me prior to Zoey’s day of daycare, and I was immediately out at ease. I knew Zoey would be in the best hands, and she absolutely was! Megan has a big yard for Zoey to run around and play, and Megan was great about sending pictures throughout the day. I would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a home away from home for their fur baby. I will absolutely be booking with Megan again!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and can’t imagine a home without them. Caring for dogs—whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship—comes naturally to me. I’ve worked with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and care.

I’m reliable, safety-focused, and affectionate, and I always keep pet parents updated with check-ins and photos daily. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priority.

“Bradley is a gem! He accepted my request at the last minute after two other walkers cancelled. Juliet loves him. She comes home tired and happy. He even managed to get my other dog out the door for a potty (Owen is a mama's boy and only goes out for me). Super pleased and very grateful for the professionalism.”

About: I’ve been the designated pet babysitter for my extended family for years. I often house sit or drop-in visit and have taken care of dogs at all life stages, from rowdy puppies to seniors with a laundry list of pills to take. I’ve got free time in my schedule so I am open to watching weekends and most weekdays. I am open to watching them for a long weekend so you can get away knowing your furry friends are taken care of! The most important part of watching pets in the home is keeping to their established routine. I’ve found that dogs are always more comfortable when disruption is kept to a minimum.

I genuinely love animals and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I currently care for a cat who has been staying with me, and Monday through Friday I care for two of my neighbors’ dogs by letting them out, feeding and watering them, and spending time playing with them. I enjoy caring for animals and making sure they receive the attention and care they need. In my home, I care for our dogs and cats by feeding and watering them, grooming and bathing them, playing with them, and working on basic training. I make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and get plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I would follow their specific instructions and routines to make sure their pets receive the same level of care and attention they are used to.

About: 30 + years experience with dogs. I've owned or cared for other people's dogs since childhood. I have a large fenced in backyard for your pup to play! I love dogs and want to spoil and snuggle yours because I currently do not have a dog. I work part-time/variable schedule and my roommate works full-time from home so there is almost always someone home. I have a very flexible schedule so I am available most days of the week consistently for caring for your pet. I have a large fenced in back yard for your pup to play. My neighborhood also has a dog park area if you are comfortable with your dog in that setting. There are two chill, snuggly cats in my home.
About: I’ve had a fascination with dogs since I was 8 and today I love taking my care of them to see each dogs personality and to be able to give them love and care. I would treat them like a child of mine I wake up Every day and take care of my baby outside of that I don’t have any hobbies besides taking care of my dog as well, so taking care of your animal will ensure I’m on my feet and happy I make sure water is ensured at all times, when they have to use the bathroom the backyard is always assessable for bathroom time and they are walked and played with whenever need be
“Aaron and Bethany were great. I naturally worried because I’ve never had to leave them before with someone I didn’t know but I worried for nothing. I would definitely choose them again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, including family pets and those of friends, for the last 10 years. I now have two pups of my own! :) Family and friends have trusted me to feed, walk, bathe, administer medication to, and otherwise care for their dogs for many years. I love spending time with all the fluffy friends! I work from home and am generally flexible with my schedule! Just let me know, and we can find something that works for all of us. I have a fenced yard and my friendly own dogs can keep your fur babies company. We can also separate them completely if you prefer. We have two sides of the house with separate entrances to the backyard.
About: I have been a dedicated pet owner and animal lover my entire life, caring for both dogs and cats from childhood through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of raising and caring for multiple pets, including those adopted, rescued, or entrusted to me by others. At one point, I lovingly managed a household of five pets, ensuring each received attentive, compassionate care. My experience also includes caring for a beloved dog left to me by a close friend, honoring his wish that I provide a safe and loving home. Today, I continue that same level of care by helping my son and his wife with their dogs whenever they travel—my “granddogs,” who I adore. With a lifetime of hands-on experience, I understand the importance of trust, consistency, and genuine affection when it comes to pet care. I am now excited to extend that care to others in my community, offering reliable, attentive support for pet owners who need assistance while traveling or during busy workdays. Thank you for the opportunity to care for your pets—they will be treated like family. I'm currently retired I retired from the federal government working for the NOAA Hurricane Hunters after 33 years of service. I've been enjoying travel and visiting with family and friends and when I'm home I thought I could do some things that I enjoy and help other people that may need or want to travel or just need help with their fur babies 🐕🐾🐈⬛️🐈 I currently do this for my son and his wife when they want to travel the world or have business trips with my granddogs 👑🐾😆🐕 For clients that need assistance with pet sitting, I usually love to have an outline of what you prefer so that I can honor the type care that you also provide your pets. I follow an outline when I care for my family's pets when they travel and they provide the list of the vitamins or any quarks or anything that I need to know a timeline and I just try to honor whoever needs care by how they would like the care handled while they are away. The main thing is that I don't want anybody to worry when I'm caring for their pets. You should be able to travel and handle business trips or vacations without worrying if you're not able to take your pet with you that they're safe and well cared for. I also like to make notes daily,if I'm giving vitamins or supplements or anything occurs I want to share. I like to keep track of it and leave that sheet for you when you return.
About: I’m a 23-year-old registered pediatric nurse with a lifelong love for animals! Becoming a veterinarian was actually my second career choice because of how much I’ve always enjoyed caring for animals. I grew up with dogs and have experience with a variety of breeds and sizes. My family had Boxers and Pit Bulls throughout my childhood, and we also rescued several different breeds as I got older. I’ve cared for my own childhood dogs, as well as family and friends’ dogs, since I was a teenager. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. We recently lost our beloved 15-year-old Shih Tzu-Bichon mix, who was a very special part of our family. Caring for him throughout his senior years taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, gentle care, and understanding that older dogs may have different routines and needs. My husband and I currently have a one-year-old Pit Bull whom we rescued from the SPCA when he was just two months old. Caring for him has given me even more experience with puppies, high energy dogs, training, patience, and understanding each dog’s individual personality and needs. As a pediatric nurse, I’m naturally patient, attentive, responsible, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I understand how important it is to treat every pet as an individual and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior who needs a little extra patience and care, I would love the opportunity to treat them like family while you’re away. I work three days a week, including every Saturday and Sunday, with my third workday varying. My schedule gives me plenty of time on my days off to dedicate to caring for pets. I’ll consistently update my Rover calendar so my availability is accurate. I am married so my household consists of my husband and I and our 1 year old pit bull. However, I will be handling all of the care involving your pet when you book with me ! My priority is making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, follow their care instructions, and make sure they receive plenty of attention. For stays in my home, I’ll also make sure your pet and my dog are a good fit and are introduced safely.
“Ruth does an excellent job caring for my puppies! She is prompt in response to any communication about their visits or changes in my work schedule, adjusts her schedule when possible to take them out earlier or later, and is easy to communicate with. She’s been overly helpful today especially when I forgot to put the lock box on my door on the way out and had a full schedule at work, she even stopped by to get the key where otherwise my puppies would have been stuck with no potty or exercise breaks for hours. These two are full of energy so I know they appreciated the extra play time they got together today also! We are very grateful for Ruth and her excellent dog walking services.”
About: I adore pets of every kind, and love the chance to meet and take care of them. Most of my life I’ve taken care of friends and families pets, so I’m more than accustomed to giving them the love and attention they deserve. I’m preparing for a big move in about a month’s time, so I’m filling my time before then with as much as I can, my schedules pretty open! I can follow directions clear and to the letter, and know every pet has their own rituals and fine print. Just let me know ow what needs done, and it’ll happen.

He is attentive, extremely patient and will consistently keep you updated about your pet’s wellbeing. I would suggest Christian to look after your pet.”
“I cannot recommend Kyli highly enough! She recently cared for my two dogs and went above and beyond in every aspect of her service. She was incredibly accommodating to my last-minute schedule changes, which I truly appreciated. Kyli kept me updated throughout their stay with regular messages and photos, giving me complete peace of mind. Her communication was outstanding—she responded to every text message almost immediately, making it easy to stay connected and reassured. It was clear my dogs were well cared for and happy under her supervision. Kyli’s professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“This was our second time booking with Mason & Kassandra and once again they exceeded our expectations! Leaving our dog Hailey behind is never easy, but they make the entire experience completely stress-free. From the moment we dropped our dog off, we knew she was in great hands. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our dog was getting plenty of love, attention, and excellent care. When we picked our dog up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly felt right at home. That says everything about the kind of care they provide. We are so grateful to have found such a reliable, kind, and trustworthy sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family. Thank you for another wonderful stay!”
“Megan was amazing! It was my first time using Rover and she made it incredibly simple. Our cat, Ursa, has trouble using the litter box sometimes but Megan knew exactly how to handle it and gave us some tips on what we can do for her in our home. She will be our go-to when we go out and f town.”

It’s clear, Vivian genuinely loves animals and treated our dogs like they were her own. We are incredibly grateful for the care, attention, and kindness she showed them. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pets. Thank you so much!”
