“Serena and her boyfriend took such incredible care of Finnley while we were away. She sent frequent updates and tons of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind and honestly made my day every time they came through. It truly felt like he was in the very best hands.

“Michelle was fantastic! Very communicative and kept our super energetic puppy under control. I think our pup was more well behaved for her than for us! Would definitely trust her with any of our animals again.”
“Alli took incredible care of Brixton! From her intentionality with the meet and greet to make sure pups have a chance to get acclimated to where they’ll be staying, to the pictures and updates she sends consistently during her time caring for your dog, it’s obvious she takes seriously the comfort and happiness of your pet! Alli’s home boats a lovely fenced front yard where Brixton could enjoy sunbathing and hanging with their family dog Otto, and a great neighborhood where I received pics of Brixton loving his daily walks. It was great knowing Brixton got to be with Alli’s family as he got lots of love and pets from her husband and kiddos! Peace of mind when you’re out of town that your dog is in good hands is paramount— with Alli as your sitter you can be sure to have that!”

About: I have had cats since I was young, but 2 1/2 years ago I adopted a kitty of my own. Her name is Zelda and she is a very vocal calico tabby. She is not just my cat, she is my child and I love her dearly. She has asthma… so I am familiar with administering feline medication, and although cleaning the litter box is my least favorite task, cats deserve a clean space too so I’m happy to tend to them.
About: I’ve been taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old and raised my own kitten as recuse when mom a abandoned her I love animals and I have special connection with them. I’m available part-time I’m also a full time student so this extra money for me while I get threw school, but my schedule is flexible so I can work with you. I make sure I get all emergency contact, allergies list and everything know all the in and out before taken care of your pet, so a meet and greet is always necessary.
About: I currently work at Hope Advanced Veterinary Center as a veterinary technician/ assistant in the Emergency Department. I have happily worked in this field for 6 years and will continue to work in this field, starting with general practice (the adorable puppy visits) Veterinary science has given me the opputrunity to work with all domesticated canines and felines. The confident and less reactive pets and pets who are scared and tend to be skittish or may even bite sometimes. With my expericence I believe I can have a great time with your pet and make each other very comfortable with my walks and visits. Also if your pet need any kind of medical help I can help with that also. A bonding experience with a new pet is what I literally thrive for.Big dogs and attitude filled cats are my favorite to look after, but my heart is open for every animal big or small. My expertise in the veterinary medical field would make me a great candidate to be your pets bestfriend. As an ER vet nurse I work 13 hours shifts 3 days a week Sun-Tues. I have one canine and one feline at home and we typically spend our days off outside in the park enjoying the sun. 4 days out the week I am able to commute and walk dogs and also pay house visits. So that way I can have more than 3 days out the week to enjoy other animal companions. Unfortunately I do not have enough space in my home to provide boarding, also my cat is easily stressed and I would hate to make her uncomfortable in her home. She also can be a bit of a queen.
“Audrey made our vacation so much more enjoyable as we really had as they say, no worries. The daily update put any concerns we may have had at ease. She was extremely flexible up to the last minute. She’s game for caring for any kind of pet, be it birds, cat, tortoise, or bunny. So glad we found her here on Rover.”
“Jasmine was very professional and an excellent caretaker for Luna. She followed my exact care instructions and provided constant updates to make sure I knew Luna was comfortable. I highly recommend hiring Jasmine to watch your pet!”
About: I've had animals all my life from birds, to dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles and more. My favorite animal is a tiger but I know what it means to love something and have to let it go after a while. I work from home and can keep the pet company the same as it does me. I walk a lot to get inspiration for my writing and love to have furry companions along. If it's a cat we can both chill together and enjoy the presence of royalty. I don't have any other animals staying with me at the moment and plan to only ever have one over at a time when working. For cats, I live on the fourth floor of an apartment with a balcony that I use often, so I trust they are smart enough not to jump or have 1 life or more left if they decide to.
“Grace watched my two cats while I was away for a weekend and I felt very comfortable having them in her care! She was extremely responsive and gave me awesome reports/pictures about my cats which helped me relax while away from home. She went above and beyond. I will definitely book with her again next trip I take! Highly recommend!! Thank you Grace!!”

About: My parents owned a doggy daycare and boarding place for dogs - I would watch over 40 dogs and ensure dogs never got into fights. I also have pet sat my neighbor’s dogs and cats and did drop in visits. And back in NJ, I always visit and look after my parent’s dog Bailey who is a yellow lab! I am currently searching for a new job and am doing Rover in the meantime! I’m available all day. Side note: I live with a female roommate and my boyfriend likes to sleep over on weekends. Both of them are comfortable around dogs and cats. I would love to meet you and your pet beforehand to get to know you both and learn what needs to be done! In general, for client visits, I will always check in with your pet by giving them pets and/or scratches if they prefer. I’ll check to make sure they have enough food and water or feed your pet right away. After, I’ll go on a short or long walk for dogs. And of course, extra pets/scratches once your pet returns phone and double checking that the door/house is locked.

About: Hi! I’m Veronica. I split my time between Los Angeles and the Washington, DC area, and whenever I’m in town, I love spending time with animals. I’m a proud pet mom of both dogs and a cat, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, cozy routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🦴 ABOUT ME I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I am comfortable with: • Walks and exercise • Feeding schedules • Basic medications • Puppies and senior pets • Multi-pet households • Plenty of playtime, affection, and companionship I run my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. 🏡 STAYS & VISITS I work primarily from home and am rarely away for more than a few hours at a time. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. For boarding stays, I strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease in a new environment. 📸 UPDATES I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away from your pet. That’s why I provide regular updates, photos, and messages throughout each stay or visit. You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I love sharing their adventures, naps, playtime, and cute moments with you. ❤️ WHY I PET SIT As someone who travels frequently between DC and LA, I miss my own pets when I’m away from them. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with wonderful animals while helping fellow pet owners feel confident that their pets are in good hands. 🐾 MY PROMISE My goal is simple: to care for your pets the same way I care for my own. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! ❤️ I run my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to provide reliable pet care. When I have clients for my business, I’m normally not gone for more than four hours a day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week and can often accommodate last-minute requests. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and routine instructions while providing plenty of attention, affection, and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
