Kyla is and was so amazing with my fur baby. For one, I was terrified because Eden has IVDD ( nerve condition that caused him to lose the functionality in his back legs) and I was like who is going to watch or even change a diaper on a dog. I have never seen anyone to attentive to my baby as if he were her baby. I’m so grateful to have found her and I will be a repeat client. Thank you again Kyla!!

Michelle was very professional despite my dog going through pretty heavy separation anxiety from me. Sadly I will not be using her again because I think my dog needs to be with more of a pack, but would recommend her to anyone who's looking for around the clock care of their precious furbaby. She was flexible, communicative and very polite.

It was our first time boarding Koda, so we were a little nervous about how he would handle it. Megan made the entire experience incredibly comforting and seamless. She kept us updated throughout the day, responded quickly, and truly put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend her to anyone.

Always a pleasure having Cary watch our babies. Communication is always quick and efficient. I needed to make a modification to drop off time this visit and Cary was easily accommodating. Drop off and pick up are always such a smooth transition where they meet us outside. We will continue to prefer Cary for all our dog sitting needs :)

Ann took such good care of our puppy! She sent daily updates, took her on walks, and I know her family all gave our pup attention. She was willing to give her eye drops when we found out an infection we thought would be cleared by the weekend wasn't, and was so generous in providing a crate and toys so we didn't need to cart our stuff back and forth. We'd love to use her again.

Kamiah and Casius were great sitters for Bailey. For me, it was a very last minute booking and Kamiah was incredibly accommodating to make it work. She was also very quick to contact us on the first day when Bailey wasn't eating (but everything was fine, as this is how Bailey always is at a new place), and Bailey looked very happy in the photos and videos we got each day. Also, Kamiah's pick-up and drop-off were prompt and efficient. I definitely plan to use them again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough wonderful things about my pet sitter! She stepped in very last minute on Christmas Day, and I am beyond grateful that she did. She was truly amazing from start to finish. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, letting me know exactly how my dog was doing. She showed up on time for feedings, spent quality time with him, and made sure he was relaxed and comfortable. Seeing how calm and happy he was gave me such peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and that means everything. I would 100% rebook her without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!

I’m absolutely thrilled with how my two cats were cared for! She checked in with photos and updates daily, offering such peace of mind while I was away. When I came home, both cats were calm, content, and incredibly affectionate. They were both relaxed and happy. It was obvious they had felt safe, cared for, and absolutely loved in my absence. I couldn’t have asked for better care, and I’ll definitely book her again next time I travel. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and cat-savvy sitter.

About: I have experience caring for cats of different ages, personalities, and care needs. My experience includes feeding according to specific schedules, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic medications when needed, and providing companionship through playtime and affection while respecting each cat's comfort level and boundaries. I understand that every cat is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and behaviors to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am attentive to signs of stress, illness, or changes in behavior and will communicate promptly with pet parents if I notice anything concerning. Whether caring for a playful kitten, an independent adult cat, or a senior cat with special needs, I strive to provide reliable, compassionate care and maintain a clean, calm environment. My goal is to ensure both cats and their owners have peace of mind throughout the booking.

I had such a great experience with my Lizbeth! She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. What really stood out was her flexibility—when my flight got canceled, she kindly agreed to take care of my cat an extra day. That meant so much to me and truly showed her dedication and professionalism. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

About: I’ve been working with animals professionally since I was 19 — I’m now 26. Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet assistant, a professional groomer, and at a pet store, gaining hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. These days, my main focus is boarding, walking, and house sitting — and it’s something I genuinely love doing. What sets my care apart is the family-style experience I offer. When your dog stays with me, they aren’t just being watched — they’re becoming part of our daily life. It’s usually me, my young son, and my partner Brian. We go on nature walks, play outside, and include your dog in everything like they’re part of the crew. This isn’t just pet sitting — it’s a second home. I’ve found that so many dogs (and their humans) are looking for that feeling of safety, love, and belonging — even if they haven’t put it into words yet. That’s exactly what I try to create here. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — including shy rescues, high-energy pups, and seniors. I’m trained in animal behavior, have my own vehicle, and can adapt to your dog’s specific needs and temperament. 🚗 Please note: For boarding in my home, dogs must be comfortable around kids and okay with cats, since we do have both. I want everyone (human and animal) to feel safe and relaxed. Whether your pup needs playtime, quiet time, cuddles, or space, I always meet them where they are — with patience, love, and respect. I work from home part time, so your fur baby will fit in perfectly with my schedule. I am looking for something to do that will occupy more of my time, and what better way than to spend it with a new furry friend to love?! I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat who is more like a dog. I can keep him separate if ever needed. My house is a little over 1,300 sq ft so there’s plenty of space. If you need your pet to be crated I am comfortable with that. As well as if any medication is needed to be given or frequent walks. I will always respect the home of the pet and owner. Just point me where I need to go with some guidance regarding you fue baby’s routine, you are in great hands!

About: I grew up with cats and have always had a deep love and respect for them and their unique personalities. I understand that cats aren’t all the same and that some take time to warm up and build trust. I truly value those moments when a cat feels comfortable enough to choose connection and affection on their own terms :) I’m patient, calm, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to pet care. Whether your cat needs playtime, medication, a consistent feeding routine, litter box care, or simply a quiet and respectful presence while you’re away, I’m committed to following your instructions closely and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their environment. As a pet owner myself, I know how important peace of mind is when trusting someone with your animal. I’ll provide dependable care, regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication so you can feel confident your cat is being well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’m sure all sitters say this but I genuinely have a seat for being with animals. Sometimes I prefer them over people and treat them like they’re my own. I love all of their personalities and quirks. Anywhere I go I ask to pet someone’s dog and respect what the dog’s body language is telling me. I have a Siberian husky so I have had to learn how to read body language and potential environmental stressors very well. I invest a generous amount of time into learning about dog breeds and am always opening to learning more! Currently, I am home for the holidays with plenty of time to care for your pets while you’re away! I have access to a car and am eager to work. Extensive experience with dogs, slightly less with cats but always open to caring! I love giving them constant stimulation and walks. Pets and treats are always given. I treat all dogs like they’re my own. I have an eye on them almost at all times.

About: Ensure a safe and secure home for your furry friends! I have been pet sitting for a little over 5 years now, just moved into a new home with a large fenced yard for your furry friend to run and play. Will provide daily/hourly updates, if needed. Food, clean water and walks will be provided at scheduled time. Willing to cook for any special diet - willing to give medication as well. Will brush coat and clean teeth unless asked otherwise, a clean friend is a great friend! Provided house sitting duties include collected mail, newspaper and packages; watered plants; put garbage/recycling bins out on designated days. After a long day of fun play, a well deserved time of love and cuddles will be enjoyed! I'm currently on parental leave, so I stay home with my baby and am able to give pets lots of attention and care. I easily work feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, and playtime into my daily routine so furry friends feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their parents are away! I try to keep pets on the routine they’re used to so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I provide a calm, safe environment with regular feeding times, potty breaks or walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day since I’m home most of the time. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal schedule closely, making sure they’re fed, exercised, and given plenty of care and companionship while their owner is away.

This was our first experience. Chief had a great time and Barb was very understanding with his separation anxiety. Will definitely recommend and use her again.

Great experience with Ethel. We came in from out of town to watch a Red Stars game and she took care of our bernedoodle, Frankie. Ethel’s place is a very short way from SeatGeek Stadium and Frankie came back to us happy.

Mary was communicative, convenient and put my mind at ease as we were in the city for the weekend and our hotel couldn’t accommodate for a late check out to house our pup, Teddy. 🤍 Our niece had a soccer game at Seat Geek stadium in 90 degree October weather and Mary solved our quandary and was as warm and inviting as the unseasonable weather. Highly recommend!

Second time using Emily as a dog sitter for Sadie! We love Emily! She sends lots of updates and treats Sadie like her own! It’s just a really relieving feeling being somewhere else and knowing that your dog isn’t sitting in a crate miserable because you’re away. With Emily, we know that Sadie gets lots of attention, pets and even a big yard to run around in!! My husband and I are so thankful we found such a fantastic dog sitter! We will definitely be booking with Emily again!

About: I’ve had pets ever since I can remember, from dogs to birds! I’ve taken care of pups to senior dogs with so much care. They deserve all the love, all the cuddles and all the safety in the world. I can play with your pets all day long, they are supervised at all the times by two caregivers! They’d have lots of fun playing outside! I have a whole basement dedicated for pups and cats to have their own space, to play around in, and to sleep peacefully! I have a fenced yard where they can also be and run around in!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and genuinely love being around them. Most of my experience is with larger breeds, but I’ve also cared for small dogs and understand their different needs. Dogs tend to warm up to me quickly, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home most of the week, so your dog will have lots of company and care throughout the day. We'll take regular breaks for walks and playtime, and my big yard gives them plenty of space to run around and burn off energy. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. My home is a safe, welcoming space where dogs are treated like family. With a large, fully fenced yard and lots of supervision, I make sure every pup feels comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for.

About: I have had a dog for about 8 years now and I care for her actively! Love my dog and how cuddly and caring she is! Currently unemployed just looking to make some money while in college and I thought why not care for pets I love animals and love sharing that love! I specialize in high energy dogs mainly but I also love medium energy dogs as well! My aunts dog lucky is an high energy dog who loves being active and playing around!! I always feed my dog both dry food and human food since that was she was raised on. I love seeing her joyful and seeing how well cared she is. When I was younger from ages 12-present I would take my aunts dog Lucky out on walks 3 times daily and also feed him! Love me a detailed instruction feeding! Since then I have also walked 2 different neighbors dogs and also have many other people which I house sit for! Came onto Rover to lend an extra hand to those pup parents who need it! Cannot wait to meet all the fur babies.

About: If you have an anxious dog or if you’re an anxious dog parent, then I’m probably the sitter for you. I have a fur baby of my own, my 1 year old beagle Pete, and he is an extremely energetic, mischievous, stubborn, and anxious little guy. I’ve raised Pete since he was 11 weeks old, so I know all there is to know about puppies and take caring for them very seriously. As someone who follows a pretty structured routine for an anxious dog, I know how important it is to stick to schedules and make sure pets are getting enough walks, enrichment, playtime, love, and attention to help them feel safe and settled while their parent is away. I’ve personally paid people a lot of money to care for Pete because I ask for a lot (literally down to leaving instructions to keep Gilmore Girls on the TV because he likes it lol), so trust me when I say there is nothing “too much” or “too specific” that you can ask of me. I completely understand how important routines and comfort are for our pets because I’m the exact same way with my own dog. I also have experience administering medications and caring for dogs after neutering and medical issues. Pete has dealt with prostate issues, so I’m comfortable handling medication schedules and paying close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and routines. It’s also worth mentioning that Pete, being a beagle, eats EVERYTHING and keeps me on my toes at all times. Because of that, I’ve become incredibly diligent, patient, observant, and adaptable. Some dogs are calm and cuddly, while others need more play, structure, patience, or stimulation and I’m comfortable adapting to all kinds of personalities and needs. As a dog mom myself I know how reassuring it is to get updates while you’re away, so I’ll happily communicate as much as you’d like. Expect lots of updates, photos, videos, and honest communication. I’m also never afraid to ask questions if I need clarification because I’d rather do things correctly than make assumptions. Most importantly, I want people to know I’m dependable and trustworthy. If you tell me your dog needs a 30 minute walk, we’re doing a full 30 minute walk. If your dog eats from a snuffle mat, has a specific bedtime routine, or can’t be alone after dark, I’m going to follow those instructions exactly as asked. I know how hard it is to trust someone else with your baby, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Right now I’m focusing on walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays in clients’ homes rather than bringing additional pets into my own home environment. Pet care already plays a big role in my daily routine, so I’m very comfortable maintaining structured schedules, walks, feeding routines, potty breaks, enrichment, and consistent care. I’m available throughout the day and evening Thursday through Sunday, and I also offer weekday availability Monday through Wednesday during early mornings and evenings. I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I totally get how important trust and consistency is when someone is caring for your pet (I am that person that has given our dog sitter a 4 pager play by play of my puppy’s routine lol!). I’m very attentive to routines, safety, and following owner instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, crate routines, medication, walks, enrichment, or household rules. I always prioritize keeping pets calm, comfortable, and secure in their familiar environment and will communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am so diligent with my own fur baby when it comes to structure but also play time and potty time- so when I say I’m going to ensure your pet has all those things I mean it! At this time, I focus on care in clients’ homes and individualized attention rather than bringing additional pets into my own home environment (my fur baby is definitely an only child lol).

About: I’m sure all sitters say this but I genuinely have a seat for being with animals. Sometimes I prefer them over people and treat them like they’re my own. I love all of their personalities and quirks. Anywhere I go I ask to pet someone’s dog and respect what the dog’s body language is telling me. I have a Siberian husky so I have had to learn how to read body language and potential environmental stressors very well. I invest a generous amount of time into learning about dog breeds and am always opening to learning more! Currently, I am home for the holidays with plenty of time to care for your pets while you’re away! I have access to a car and am eager to work. Extensive experience with dogs, slightly less with cats but always open to caring! I love giving them constant stimulation and walks. Pets and treats are always given. I treat all dogs like they’re my own. I have an eye on them almost at all times.

About: UPDATE JULY 2024, PLEASE READ: If you see that my reply time is incredibly slow, it's because my account was inactive for a while due to my dad being hospitalized. I had to help care for him for a long period of time and I was unable to reply to any messages on Rover. My dad is okay now and I am available for walks and sitting again. I was a dog groomer for almost 2 years. I'm well-trained in animal safety. I care deeply about all animals, so I'll form a bond with your animals. I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have loads of time to provide love for your animals of any kind! Just let me know what you need/what you're looking for! I understand the basics of taking care of dogs, cats and other animals just like most pet sitters. But I also provide what some sitters don't: love! I'm very sweet and I can give your animals great love and care. Plus, I'll provide some pretty amazing photos of them. If anything out of the ordinary does happen, I will do my best to help and I will contact you immediately.

About: I have loved pets since I was a kid. I was obsessed with learning about them. After my first pet died, I was very motivated on learning about how to offer pets the very best life, and this comes through research! I have worked with a variety of animals. Working at PetSmart allowed me to get a better hands on experience as it opened a door to working with cats, sick animals who needed medication, and working with large numbers of pets. This also helped me see what methods worked and what methods to avoid when taking care of our beloved pets. I have a very flexible schedule and will be available for you and your pets. I don’t have a set schedule yet due to work and school. Safety is my top priority. You know your pet best, I will work with what I have and incorporate new techniques and ideas once your pet trusts me. I have a porch that is safe meanwhile my garage is being built at the moment.

About: I’ve lived around animals since I was a little girl and have owned a diverse range of pets myself. I grew up caring for my Hungarian Vizsla into college as well, even while he got sick and eventually had to be put down. I have experience owning rabbits, gerbils, dogs, cats. I live with two sweet cats now with my boyfriend and his mother, I’m home most of the time taking care of them. I love animals and have always felt more comfortable with them than humans sometimes. I believe every pet should be taken care of with compassion and a watchful eye. I understand animal body language and always respect what the animal needs or wants for their own sake and for my safety. I’d be honored to help any family with their furry babies! Since I am a university student online my schedule is very open and flexible. I expect most pet sitting jobs to require seeing the animals at least 3 times a day, every day needed. I am looking for another part time job but would allow me to leave work in cases where animals need care in the afternoon as well. Our cats are kept inside most of the time but we do have a yard with a fence that allows them to be outside supervised. If the weather allows for it, we let them out to get exercise in and just have some stimulation. We have to feed them separately as one cat likes to try to steal food from the other. They’re both on their diets to lose some weight so feeding times are in order now for them.

About: Ensure a safe and secure home for your furry friends! I have been pet sitting for a little over 5 years now, just moved into a new home with a large fenced yard for your furry friend to run and play. Will provide daily/hourly updates, if needed. Food, clean water and walks will be provided at scheduled time. Willing to cook for any special diet - willing to give medication as well. Will brush coat and clean teeth unless asked otherwise, a clean friend is a great friend! Provided house sitting duties include collected mail, newspaper and packages; watered plants; put garbage/recycling bins out on designated days. After a long day of fun play, a well deserved time of love and cuddles will be enjoyed! I'm currently on parental leave, so I stay home with my baby and am able to give pets lots of attention and care. I easily work feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, and playtime into my daily routine so furry friends feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their parents are away! I try to keep pets on the routine they’re used to so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I provide a calm, safe environment with regular feeding times, potty breaks or walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day since I’m home most of the time. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal schedule closely, making sure they’re fed, exercised, and given plenty of care and companionship while their owner is away.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and pet caretaker, with tons of experience with dogs of all sizes, multiple breeds, puppies, and senior dogs! I was born and raised in Illinois, where I grew up as a caretaker for multiple cats and a German Shepard/Newfoundland mix named Henry, who I helped take care of with my family. I took care of my family’s chihuahua and acclimated him to a new environment. I have taken care of dogs and cats with plenty of unique situations who needed extra love! I moved to Las Vegas in 2016, and I am currently the co owner of 3 rescue pups, who require plenty of love, walks, and playtime. I adopted my dog Zeyda when she was 12 weeks old, and I worked with her a lot using positive reinforcement and attended training with her to help her gain confidence, learn basic life skills and tricks, and walk on a loose leash. I love helping pets and making them happy, giving each one the unique love and care that it needs. I am off during the summer (until August 1st) so I have very open availability! During the rest of the year I work full time, so I am typically available on weekends as well as evenings during the week. I may be available during the week around holidays as well. I have a 2 story house with a fenced yard, and a dog run across the street. My gated neighborhood is dog friendly and perfect for walks. My 2 roommates and I take care of 3 dogs, and they are friendly and loving.

About: I have two fur babies of my own that are Golden mixes and siblings. Elvis is the more active scaredy cat if you will while Priscilla loves to swim but is a huge couch potato otherwise. I also have grown up around dogs and collectively within my immediate family we own 11 dogs total of all shapes and sizes! Don't worry, they don't all live together, but they do go on play dates. That being said, I am comfortable with feeding, walking, and playtime as well as delivering medicine your pup may need. In addition, I am comfortable with watching a dog who may have separation anxiety and need full time supervision. Other animals I have taken care of are rabbits, hamsters, and fish. Being a fur mama myself, I know it can be nerve-wracking trusting someone with your baby, however, I will love your fur baby like my own! No need to ask about cuddles, belly rubs, and playtime, those are complimentary! I currently have a semi-flexible schedule to meet your pet's needs! I teach during the day (8-3:20) but am available before or after work on weekdays. I am usually free on the weekends though and update my calendar often. Your pets are my priority so I will make sure to be communicative about my schedule in advance. I like to make sure I follow the pet's routine and I make sure to give them extra love as I am sure they miss their parents! For dog walking, I will ask you about your pet's favorite walking path or generally what they like to do on walks. For dog sitting, lots of playtime will occur!

Jessica is wonderful! She has been very patient with our young, energetic (and sometimes poorly behaved) pit bull. She also has been patient with me, my husband, and our frequently changing schedule. Thank you for being so great and dependable!

Great Care! Manuel was professional and caring. He communicated throughout the day, sending updates and pictures. He went above and beyond caring for Levi. She was extremely happy and tired when I picked he up. I would highly recommend Manuel to take care of your Furbaby!

Tabitha was so amazing and took such great care of Taco! I really appreciated all of the pictures she sent me as well. It was really great as well that Taco had other dog friends to play with while I was gone! Next time I go out of town, I would definitely book again!

It was our first time boarding Koda, so we were a little nervous about how he would handle it. Megan made the entire experience incredibly comforting and seamless. She kept us updated throughout the day, responded quickly, and truly put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend her to anyone.

Always a pleasure having Cary watch our babies. Communication is always quick and efficient. I needed to make a modification to drop off time this visit and Cary was easily accommodating. Drop off and pick up are always such a smooth transition where they meet us outside. We will continue to prefer Cary for all our dog sitting needs :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough wonderful things about my pet sitter! She stepped in very last minute on Christmas Day, and I am beyond grateful that she did. She was truly amazing from start to finish. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, letting me know exactly how my dog was doing. She showed up on time for feedings, spent quality time with him, and made sure he was relaxed and comfortable. Seeing how calm and happy he was gave me such peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and that means everything. I would 100% rebook her without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!

Katherine and her family were great to Lily during her stay. The weather was definitely not in our favor during her stay but Katie didn’t shy away from getting outside still, taking her to the dog park and bathing her as necessary due to the muddy weather. She also worked through some doggy anxiety and was great with sending photos and updates. It was great to know she was in good hands.

We are so grateful to have found a trusted caregiver for Wiggles! Tamara is so incredibly nice and flexible when we had an unforeseen circumstance change our plans. Wiggles had such a good time playing with her friends, we were worried she was disappointed to come home! Thank you Tamara, Maggie, and Paulie!

Susseth was great. She was very responsive, contacting me right away. We set up a meet and greet. Our dogs got along fine so we booked a week long stay. She took great care of Bella, sending daily pictures. Bella was excited to come home and slept for a whole day. So I’m guessing Susseth’s dogs and Bella had some fun playtimes together. Thanks for a worry free week.?

My baby was having so much fun I was worried he might not want to come home with me! He even got my little stinker to play fetch- something that me, my parents, and a boyfriend haven’t been able to convince him to do since I got him. So glad to have found a place Chance likes to take him when I am not able to take him with me.

Our daycare we normally go to had a bordatella outbreak so we couldn’t use them for the weekend we were celebrating our anniversary. We’re so glad we found Ruben! He was very quick to reply and sent plenty of pictures — which we love. Our dog also requires taking medicine which he was able to do with ease and texted a confirmation with us when he gave it to our dog. He was a great substitute and we’re hoping to have our dog stay with him again soon!
