“Chelsea and her boyfriend, Josh, really helped me out when I was in a tight spot. They are communicative, reliable, and were available on short notice. They took very good care of my dog and he came home happy and healthy. I think my dog really enjoyed playing with their two dogs. I would certainly use their services again.”
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! I have experience with everything from horses and livestock, to birds, reptiles and fish. I am currently working very part time (3 hours a day) at a Kennel. I am usually always home by 11 am and am only away from home for a very short time. I have a large fenced yard, but will crate or kennel pets while unsupervised for a very short amount of time. I spend a majority of my time at home with my own pets and hanging out in the yard.
“Kathy is amazing. I feel like she loves our dog as much as we do. We left Meli with her for a couple weeks while visiting family on the mainland. Kathy was great at sending us updates and we could tell Meli was having an awesome time. We can’t thank Kathy enough for the piece of mind she gave us while away.”
About: Aloha pet parents! Your pets won't just be watched, they'll be spoiled. I'm dependable, experienced with all animals, and genuinely to be around them. I'll keep them safe, loved, on their routine, and send plenty of updates so you can relax while you're away. With a nursing, and military background you can trust your pets in safe & dependable hands. I only work one weekend a month, and so I’m home plenty of the time. I study online and am working on an advanced degree in healthcare. I love to be outdoors and active, which is why I love being with animals so much. I live on an acre with one friendly Australian Shepherd who loves to make new friends. There’s plenty of safe space for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and any specific instructions from owners.
“This was my first experience using Rover and a pet sitter. Diane was incredible and took care of our Loki with such short notice. She and her husband, Jeff, we’re so kind, accommodating, and genuinely love animals. Diane kept me informed of Loki‘s daily activities and also sent pictures that assured us he was having a wonderful time. I would highly recommend her and her services to anyone in need of a sitter.”
About: I have had both cats and dogs since I was in Kindergarten. Friends and neighbors have trusted me with their pet care needs for years. I have been on Rover for over 3 years now and am a trusted and reliable sitter. I oftentimes watch senior dogs, some with medical needs. I am very attuned to what animals need and give them tons of love and attention. It is a reciprocal relationship where we both appreciate the company and cuddles. When boarding dogs, my mom also loves dogs and is able to provide them with much love and attention when I need to be at work. She lives in the house and enjoys helping out with our furry guests. Your pet will most likely not be alone for more than an hour. I am very active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I always adhere to the pup's acitivity level and age. I have also cared for a neglected pitbull terrier in my old neighborhood. The dog was chained all the time and not cared for. I asked the owners if I could walk him daily. I have removed ticks and groomed him in an effort to provide some much needed attention and TLC. I have sought out medical care for the dog and helped to build a better shelter. I have also worked to educate the family on what it means to be a dog owner and treat the pup like a family member. Dogs just yearn to protect and be close to thier pack (owners). I still walk him to this day even though I know longer live in the neighborhood. The dog can be aggressive with other people and animals but is always affectionate towards me. I had to train the dog how to walk on a leash as it had not been walked in years. At first, the dog was a bit wild and did not know what to do. Now, he can heel and listens to commands. He even sits for some treats! I know how to use caution and practice safety measures when walking the dog so that others and the aggressive dog are kept safe and unharmed. I have a bleeding heart for animals. I am great with animals of all ages, personalities, and fitness levels! I am a social worker and love to give pets as much attention as possible! I am sensitive to their needs and always make sure your pet is comfortable. I treat them as one of my own. I am available to dog-sit/ house-sit or board most dogs as long as they are house trained.
“An incredible experience for both myself and pow pow amazing daily updates lots of pictures and a very happy dog. Will definitely have pow pow stay again. I think he felt like he was on summer camp, and basically joined the family.”
About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, a German Shepherd, who has been with me since he was a puppy. I currently work afternoon shifts from 2 pm to 10 pm, which means I’m fully available in the mornings for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your dog. My days off are usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when I have full availability and flexibility. I’m reliable, organized, and always plan my schedule carefully to make sure every dog gets the attention they deserve. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication at all times. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding routines, feeding, walks, and house rules. I’m respectful in clients’ homes and always make sure dogs are secure, comfortable, and calm. I keep environments clean and controlled, and I treat every dog as if it were my own.

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs and cats and horses and birds. I love animals and have trained many dogs throughout my life. I have a big fenced in yard and my 14 year old dog just passed away, crushing my soul. Until I ever feel ok again to get another dog, I thought I could love someone else’s dog while helping them out! I work from home and only leave the house for errands here and there. I spend the majority of my life on my property working and tinkering around. I have a big fenced in yard and no other dog currently on property. I do have a cat wandering around. I can continue to crate train and love on them all day.
About: Aloha! I'm Shanon, a naturopathic physician who loves to take care of pets in people's homes. I began caring for my neighbor's cat when I was 10 years old, graduating to dog care in my teens. Since then I have done pet sits in many states and countries, seeing some pets through their lifetimes. My clients have included dogs, cats, bunnies, tortoises, snails, fish and birds. I have also cared for chickens and horses and am willing to look after small farm animals such as goats and sheep. If requested, I take care of gardens/plants, mail/packages and any other issues that may arise while you are gone. Want local or distance references? There are many. Please ask for them! I look forward to hearing from you. Aloha, Shanon Much of my work is online so that I can spend the maximum amount of time with your furry, feathered and scaled friends - I aim to be at home 75% of the time. I treat all pets as my own so they get the attention, love and care they deserve. My services can also include administering medication (pills, subcutaneous injections for cats, insulin shots etc). I strive for your home to be in the same, if not better condition than when you left, and for your pets to be as well-tended to when you are away as when you are home.

“Great for house/ pet sitting. Used her while I was 3000 miles and an ocean away for over 10 days. Used her for Christmas drop in to feed. Check in on the cats when I took dogs an hour away for two nights over Christmas. Swell communication. The animals love her! So do I!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve personally cared for dogs, cats, and small animals throughout my life, and my experience extends well beyond pet ownership. I hold a degree in biology with coursework focused on animal behavior, physiology, and research. This background helps me better understand animal body language, behavior, and individual needs. I’ve worked with a wide variety of species, including exotic hoofstock and birds in a zoological setting, as well as pigs, goats, and birds through wildlife rescue and animal care work. In addition, I spent approximately three years working in an animal shelter environment, where I handled and photographed thousands of dogs to help them find loving homes. Through that experience, I learned how to safely interact with dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, a senior, or requires a little extra patience, I strive to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual personality and routine. I’m a small business owner and public school teacher, which gives me a structured but flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I currently have more availability during weekends, school holidays, and breaks (especially during the summer months), when I can offer extended and consistent care for pets and house sitting. During the school year on regular weekdays, I’m typically available in the mornings and evenings, with greater flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific dates and needs to see what works best for your pet’s routine. I care deeply about consistency and communication, so pets feel settled, safe, and well cared for, and owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine in the environment where they feel most comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines are completed on time and as directed. I treat every home with a high level of respect and care, keeping spaces clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. I’m mindful of both the pet’s needs and the owner’s home, and I prioritize reliability, safety, and consistency in every visit or stay. I also believe clear communication is essential, so I provide updates as needed to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.
“Alexis is awesome. My boy cat, Milo is usually very shy with strangers, but he warmed up to her rather quickly. She also made sure to take pics every day she visited. I will definitely book her again!”
“Have 2 cats, one won't come to new people for at least 3 days, he came to Amanda on the first day. They both loved her, that is for sure. They were laid back and happy when I got home. Amanda really has a sweet touch with animals.”
“Kaylee is amazing!! Loving, caring, responsible and responsive, kind. She took such good care of our two kitties, gecko and our home for two weeks and is an absolute joy to work with.”
“Bri comes highly recommended! She made friends with our kitties day one, and us as well. Her years of experiance really shows. :) If you are looking for someone that you can trust to handle any situation, I would highly recommend Bri.”
About: I've been around cats since I was young, my first pet when I was a child was our family cat, Lacey. She was with our family well into my late teens and was a loved part of my childhood! I have 15+ years experience working with animal shelters and rescues, often working with cats. I have also worked in veterinary offices, and have lots of hands on experience with cats. I am comfortable with giving medications and anything your cat needs, even some fun enrichment time!
About: My experience assisting in training a future service dog through CCI allowed me to understand canine behavior and provide thoughtful care tailored to each dog. Pet care is a joyful part of my weekly routine! I’m available all day on weekends and weekdays after 3 pm, which gives me plenty of time to focus on your pets and give them the attention, play, and care they deserve. I treat every home and pet with respect, care, and attention. I follow your instructions closely, maintain routines, provide meals, playtime, walks, and lots of love. I’ll always keep your home tidy and secure, giving you peace of mind knowing both your pets and space are well cared for.
About: Cats have always been my soft spot. I’ve fostered cats from bottle babies to seniors, so I’m comfortable with all ages, personalities, and care needs. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at their own pace. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, medications if needed, enrichment/playtime, and creating a calm, clean environment. I also know how important patience and trust are with cats. Expect lots of updates, photos, and a sitter who will genuinely treat your cat like family. 🐾
“Molly came highly recommended from our usual sitter who was not available during our wedding weekend. Molly had excellent communication leading up to the meet and greet. She truly loves animals and we bonded over our compassion for senior rescues. She took wonderful care of our senior cat while we were away. It was such a relief to know she was in such great hands during a high stress (but exciting!) time in our lives. We will definitely be using Molly again the future!”
“I could not recommend Bailey more, she did an absolutely awesome job taking care of our kitty! Super communicative and went out of her way to make sure he was well taken care of. ☺️ Will definitely book again.”
“Lauren was wonderful!!! We have used her twice (one was so last minute) and she really helped us out. Very prompt on her visits and took the best care of our dog. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
About: I genuinely have the greatest passion for animals and love being around them and caring for them. I own a house near town with a large backyard and tons of dog toys and beds. I don’t own any pets myself, and work remote as a with my partner. However, my true passion has always been for animals. I have volunteered at local humane societies since I was 12, and even an elephant sanctuary! I was on the board of the largest animal shelter in Chicago (PAWS), and have received formal training in dog behavior and handling. I have experience caring for and walking numerous dogs of every size and breed. I know of some good local parks around here and am willing to take energetic dogs on runs with me! I go on runs everyday, so having a furry friend to accompany me on them would be ideal. I can watch your pet attentively and give them lots of attention throughout the day due to my flexible work schedule. My partner and I both work remote and can provide care for your animal(s) around the clock and can be home with them all day. I treat your animal as if it’s my own, simple as that. They will get ample attention throughout the day, as well as a minimum of 3 walks and lots of play time. I prepare frozen fruits and vegetables that are especially healthy for dogs before I welcome pets into my home so I have healthy treats available at all times. I have also purchased my own dog toys and beds that I have around my home to ensure your animal is always comfortable and entertained.
“Lyrics is absolutely wonderful with our young, high energy cats! He takes care of everything needed at the house, while giving our boys lots of love and playtime. They love him too. Will definitely hire Lyrics again!”

“Saffy was amazing! She rescued us with a last-minute booking and was also able to pick-up and drop-off which helped tremendously! Sodapop came home happy and exhausted after a fun day and long walks with Saffy, We would definitely use her again!”
“Richelle is great with our puppy who is sometimes too rambunctious with her more calm dogs. She instinctively knows when it’s best to separate them. Our Sophie loves going to her house!”
About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, my love for pets is a lifelong devotion. I’ve shared my home and heart with dogs and cats throughout my life, and I’ve been a trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience with animals of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—including senior pets and those needing extra tenderness or special care. In addition to hands-on experience, I bring a calm, grounded presence and a deep sensitivity to the emotional needs of animals.

“Kathy was a wonderful dog sitter to our puppy! He had so much fun with the other pups and he came home very happy. We highly recommend Kathy and will book with her again soon”
“Margo was an incredible find! She was so caring and attentive to our little girl from the first second they met. I thought I would be so anxious leaving her with someone I didn’t know, but Margo kept me updated & sent multiple pictures throughout the day. Charlotte came home happy and healthy and sleepy from all their playtime and walks. I honestly wish we’d found her earlier in the trip. 15/10 recommend”
“Maddie arose had the most fabulous time. The kindness shown made her feel right and home. Your patience and gentle nature was so loving. She settled in very quickly. Thank you so much she is an old girl who needs that special care which she received in spades. ❤️🌺”

I grew up around animals, have volunteered with local shelters, and have years of hands-on experience with everything from daily walks to administering medication and helping with special needs pets. I always focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own space and maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule for check-ins, walks, and in-home sitting. Friends and clients describe me as reliable, communicative, and incredibly patient.

About: Over the years I have owned and cared for various breeds of dogs which has thus created skills that I utilize during my car of your pet. My number one principal is to create a peaceful, loving environment for your animal while under my care. I am a very flexible sitter and I’m willing to accommodate to any requests you may have. Thank you for your consideration. All of my work is based out of my home office. I spend a lot of one on one time with my clients pets which I believe brings a much better experience for both me and your pet. Boarding services are my favorite services because I get to spend more one on one time with the animals. Doggy Daycare is my home daycare service, taking the clients out for most of the day, playing and relaxing instead of waiting alone for their owners to return home for the day. Drop Ins and Walks are services provided at the clients residence. I want all of my clients to feel loved and safe while in my care and I would like their owners to know they are in good hands.

Great communication, arrived on time and sent photos of their walks together. We so appreciate her help…makes it easier to go away when we are confident in who is watching our pet.”

About: I have had many special bonds with many kinds of animals & I’ve always given them the love & kindness ALL animals deserve. I love training puppies to become the best doggie they can be! When my Jude was a puppy, I used “tricks-for-treats” method using hand signals & now that Jude lost her hearing she knows her commands only by my hand signals! I have taken care of a handful of elderly dogs and cats whom I know felt very safe and loved my company so much. Whenever I’m with any animal I always feel like I’m making an impact in their life and I shine my light on their beautiful hearts every time. They are my world 🌎 ❤️❤️❤️ Currently, I am open available anytime, day or night, rain or shine! Even last minute I will be available. My doggie approved house is filled with dog beds of all sizes, and dog crates if that’s what they like, & hardwood floor for cooling off. My yard is fenced in and surrounded by a forest of trees. Plenty of play toys and green grass for sunbaths! This is my passion…… I eat, sleep, & take care for animals. I’m very grateful for any furry friend to come into my life. Even if it’s just for a day ❤️ When I’m not busy with pets, I am the voice for the voiceless...I am a very active animal rights activist, I am a member of the Dominion action movement, I am very very passionate about all animals. My dream is to have my own animal sanctuary where every animal will love their life free just as our pets do. I will also find homes for homeless/abused/abandoned animals. My house is dog approved. I have a lot of toys and doggy beds & In my breezeway I have a dog ramp for elderly or injured dogs to use to get into my house.
About: From having a pet dog, to dogsitting and catsitting countless times throughout my life, I’ve learned how to meet the needs of each animal- from puppies & kittens to the elderly of all different shapes and sizes! It’s important to me to make sure they’re getting enough love and care throughout the day. I believe taking care of a pet’s emotional needs is just as important as meeting them physically, so I do my best to make sure they’re staying happy and comfortable while they await the arrival of their parents later on :) My week availability is very open as I’m in between jobs, so I have a lot of free time to dedicate to pet lovin’ on Mondays-Fridays, especially between 9 am to 7 pm. I respect the space and property of others, so I do my best to take care of your pet in whatever way you see best fit, and in a way that respects the home I’m coming into.
About: My name is Lyrics. I grew up with a family dog which we had 17 years, it was amazing then I had a service lab for 12 years that was my puppy, R.I.P. she had breast cancer and sadly left me in 2015. I now have one rescue pup and he's very well trained from private lessons and from myself. He eats Hills plus some snacks. He always goes to work with me, non barker. Before work we go to the dog beach for an hour and a half then another hour walk before bed. On the days off, we hike and go boarding, he has great balance on the paddle board. I love to train him in sign and spend time with him, I'm hoping my pup gets to be friends with your pups. I'm available everyday for walks before 930a and after 830p for cooler ground and drop ins everyday before 9a, between 2-5, and after 8p. My pups are always in Positive reinforcement training vs obedience school, I think positivity helps them grow. We praise the good acts vs punishing the bad acts.

“Chelsea and her boyfriend, Josh, really helped me out when I was in a tight spot. They are communicative, reliable, and were available on short notice. They took very good care of my dog and he came home happy and healthy. I think my dog really enjoyed playing with their two dogs. I would certainly use their services again.”
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! I have experience with everything from horses and livestock, to birds, reptiles and fish. I am currently working very part time (3 hours a day) at a Kennel. I am usually always home by 11 am and am only away from home for a very short time. I have a large fenced yard, but will crate or kennel pets while unsupervised for a very short amount of time. I spend a majority of my time at home with my own pets and hanging out in the yard.
“Kathy is amazing. I feel like she loves our dog as much as we do. We left Meli with her for a couple weeks while visiting family on the mainland. Kathy was great at sending us updates and we could tell Meli was having an awesome time. We can’t thank Kathy enough for the piece of mind she gave us while away.”
About: Aloha pet parents! Your pets won't just be watched, they'll be spoiled. I'm dependable, experienced with all animals, and genuinely to be around them. I'll keep them safe, loved, on their routine, and send plenty of updates so you can relax while you're away. With a nursing, and military background you can trust your pets in safe & dependable hands. I only work one weekend a month, and so I’m home plenty of the time. I study online and am working on an advanced degree in healthcare. I love to be outdoors and active, which is why I love being with animals so much. I live on an acre with one friendly Australian Shepherd who loves to make new friends. There’s plenty of safe space for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and any specific instructions from owners.
“This was my first experience using Rover and a pet sitter. Diane was incredible and took care of our Loki with such short notice. She and her husband, Jeff, we’re so kind, accommodating, and genuinely love animals. Diane kept me informed of Loki‘s daily activities and also sent pictures that assured us he was having a wonderful time. I would highly recommend her and her services to anyone in need of a sitter.”
About: I have had both cats and dogs since I was in Kindergarten. Friends and neighbors have trusted me with their pet care needs for years. I have been on Rover for over 3 years now and am a trusted and reliable sitter. I oftentimes watch senior dogs, some with medical needs. I am very attuned to what animals need and give them tons of love and attention. It is a reciprocal relationship where we both appreciate the company and cuddles. When boarding dogs, my mom also loves dogs and is able to provide them with much love and attention when I need to be at work. She lives in the house and enjoys helping out with our furry guests. Your pet will most likely not be alone for more than an hour. I am very active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I always adhere to the pup's acitivity level and age. I have also cared for a neglected pitbull terrier in my old neighborhood. The dog was chained all the time and not cared for. I asked the owners if I could walk him daily. I have removed ticks and groomed him in an effort to provide some much needed attention and TLC. I have sought out medical care for the dog and helped to build a better shelter. I have also worked to educate the family on what it means to be a dog owner and treat the pup like a family member. Dogs just yearn to protect and be close to thier pack (owners). I still walk him to this day even though I know longer live in the neighborhood. The dog can be aggressive with other people and animals but is always affectionate towards me. I had to train the dog how to walk on a leash as it had not been walked in years. At first, the dog was a bit wild and did not know what to do. Now, he can heel and listens to commands. He even sits for some treats! I know how to use caution and practice safety measures when walking the dog so that others and the aggressive dog are kept safe and unharmed. I have a bleeding heart for animals. I am great with animals of all ages, personalities, and fitness levels! I am a social worker and love to give pets as much attention as possible! I am sensitive to their needs and always make sure your pet is comfortable. I treat them as one of my own. I am available to dog-sit/ house-sit or board most dogs as long as they are house trained.
“An incredible experience for both myself and pow pow amazing daily updates lots of pictures and a very happy dog. Will definitely have pow pow stay again. I think he felt like he was on summer camp, and basically joined the family.”

My days off are usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when I have full availability and flexibility.

I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding routines, feeding, walks, and house rules. I’m respectful in clients’ homes and always make sure dogs are secure, comfortable, and calm. I keep environments clean and controlled, and I treat every dog as if it were my own.
About: I grew up on a farm with dogs and cats and horses and birds. I love animals and have trained many dogs throughout my life. I have a big fenced in yard and my 14 year old dog just passed away, crushing my soul. Until I ever feel ok again to get another dog, I thought I could love someone else’s dog while helping them out! I work from home and only leave the house for errands here and there. I spend the majority of my life on my property working and tinkering around. I have a big fenced in yard and no other dog currently on property. I do have a cat wandering around. I can continue to crate train and love on them all day.
