“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Zulma. From the moment I walked into her house she made me feel completely at ease about leaving my dogs in her care. She asked thoughtful questions about their routines and treated them as if they were her own. Throughout my time away, she provided regular photos and videos, that brought me so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy, well cared for and completely comfortable with her. I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing they were in capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and generally caring I will highly recommend Zulma. I’m so grateful to have found her.”
“Diego and Natalia are excellent sitters. They took such good care of our puppy while we were gone for a week, which was not an easy task since he’s so little and needs lots of attention. We were nervous to leave him for the first time but they instantly made us feel better from the first meet and greet. They sent continuous updates, photos and videos and he got lots of exercise in their back yard. We will definitely have them watch our pup again! We are so happy to have found them.”
“Kim cared for my pup as her own. She was very attentive to him and cared about his feelings. This was my pup’s first time with Kim so he was a little nervous. She cared for his every need and made sure he felt loved and comfortable in her care. Kim made sure that my pup had plenty of fresh air and had lots of attention, attention to the point where she slept near him so he would not feel lonesome. My pup was nice and calm when I picked him up which let me know Kim loved on him as I do. I will book again with Kim. Thank you Kim.”
“Spudsy once again had a wonderful stay with Mark and his family. He was so well taken care of, and had so much fun playing outside all day. He came home exhausted, which I know means he had a great time. Mark was once again a great and consistent communicator, and was flexible about pickup time which was very helpful for me coming home from the airport late. And the photos and videos were beautiful! So appreciate of Mark and his family for making Spud feel like part of the family when he's there!”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
“Joe was great—easy-going and accomodating. My dog had a great time with Joe and two other dogs! He messaged me updates and photos during the 7 days away from our dog, which was very reassuring. Joe even took my dog on a 5 mile run! Will definately book with Joe again. This was the first time using Rover.com, and I highly recommend. I also highly recommend your dog stay with JOE!”

They are super friendly loves dogs and I can’t even thank them enough how they have helped me in last minute dog sitting but just the care they show with my dog.

I can tell that my dog had a GREAT time will there, with Donna and her husband and with the other dogs. My dog is happy and healthy. Donna was a great communicator and very easy to work with. The next time I need a boarder, I know my dog will be in good hands. Thank you again for your great service.”

We super appreciated her and her attention to detail and how well our little old lady was cared for. We would absolutely book her again. Thank you Mikela!”

About: If anyone knows a cat it’s me. A year hasn’t gone by where I haven’t had my cats by my side To cleaning them, play time and potty training I have clear understanding of what they need and want. I love cats more than anything and only wish them the longest and happiest life they can imagine.
About: I have experience caring for both adult cats and kittens. I owned two cats and helped care for my female cat throughout her pregnancy, labor, and recovery while also raising her three kittens from birth until they were rehomed. This gave me hands-on experience with newborn kitten care, monitoring growth and development, feeding, cleaning, socialization, and creating a safe environment for both mother and babies. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level, whether they’re playful, independent, shy, or affectionate. I provide patient, attentive care and will treat your cat like one of my own while keeping you updated with photos and messages.
About: I’ve taken care of several pets since I was young. I had several dogs and cats (sometimes at the same time!). I love walking and playing with dogs, I’ve trained my puppy. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I have also taken care of kittens and adult cats. I have litter trained kittens and played with them often. I currently work full time, but am more than happy to watch your fur baby on my days off! I have days off where I have no plans and would love to spend it with more dogs or with your cat! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies (dogs) of my own who are friendly and can keep your fur baby company. I am use to watching other people’s fur babies in a 24 hour care setting.
About: I've always had a special connection with cats, as they tend to gravitate towards me even when they're shy. As someone who embodies black cat energy I understand trust is earned, not forced. I respect every cat's boundaries, letting them set the pace. My job is to provide a calm, low-stress environment where they can feel safe and cozy. Whether your cat wants to play, cuddle, or just lounge in the sun, I'm happy to meet them where they are.
About: I’ve taken care of pets personally since 2014 when I had my blue nose pitt! I love all animals and am excited to see what furry friends I make! I’m currently a junior in college, so I’m mostly available for breaks, holidays, and the summer! My availability is more flexible on weekends than weekdays and willing to watch and tend to your paw-some pet overnight in the home! I love having fun and making every furry friend feel comfortable and loved, from baths to letting out the zoomies! My favorite things to do are going on long walks, cuddles, and running around outside together!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has been caring for dogs since 2016. In addition to raising my own dogs, I spent two years providing dog walking and pet sitting services through another pet care app, caring for pups of all sizes and personalities.

“I brought my little senior to Denisha and I could not have been happier with the care she took with him. She has true caring for animals and she cared for my dog as well as she cared for her own dogs. They went on walks and when she noticed he was lagging, she picked up his ten pound self and carried him the rest of the way. She cues into behaviors to figure out dynamics and issues. She was just great. I loved that she took him on walks because no place I have taken him has ever put that effort into him. Please consider Denisha as a caretaker for your dog. I will definitely be going back to her.”

About: What sets me apart is the lifelong experience and genuine love I have for animals. I grew up with dogs for most of my life and had the opportunity to care for and dog-sit my own dog, Angel, who was a very special part of my family. Although Angel passed away last year and I haven’t had a dog of my own since, caring for her gave me years of firsthand experience understanding a dog’s needs, personality, routines, and the importance of patience and companionship. I’m also a proud cat mom to two cats, Daisy and Tulip, who I’ve cared for over the past three years. My experience with them has taught me just how different every animal can be and how important it is to respect their individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, cuddles, companionship, or simply someone patient and dependable while you’re away, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet as an individual and would give them the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own pets. I work from home, so I am able to walk dogs everyday when I am able to move from my computer after completing my task. My home is available to all furry animals. My apartment complex are pet friendly and has a dog park in the area where I am able to allow them to play and have fun!
“Kennedi came through for my baby at last minute. She has great communication skills, super nice and I know how adventurous and playful Lotus can be so I know she's patient! She's very attentive and I appreciate her for coming through. I will book again”

I only want to give them more than they need. I am available 5 days of the week to care for your pet, including the weekend if needed! After all, someone has to be there for them. No pet under my supervision has ever been in harms way. I have a big cage with food and water. Pet toys, cleaning supplies, and pet proof items to keep them safe.
About: I provide reliable, gentle care for pets of all personalities. I take time to understand each animal’s routine and comfort level, offering calm interaction, clean spaces, and consistent feeding. Whether playful, shy, or special-needs, I make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and understood—while keeping you updated along the way. I’m currently a full-time student attending school online so I’m open and available for all your pet care needs, at any time of day!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 6 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the years I’ve cared for multiple family dogs, including my own dog since 2019, my mom’s two dogs, and my husband’s dog. I also cared for my two cats and helped raise their three kittens from birth until they were rehomed. I’ve been an animal lover since my first dog at the age of 2. I’ve always been loving and playful with them and when they misbehaved i’d only cage them temporarily so they know what they did was wrong without popping the dog. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, maintaining routines, and providing companionship for pets ranging from young animals to seniors. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care is currently my primary focus, which allows me to provide flexible and reliable care for your pets. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medication reminders, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to follow their normal routines to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. Before care begins, I take time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions. During visits and walks, I remain attentive to their needs and surroundings, ensuring they receive proper care, exercise, fresh water, and plenty of affection. I respect both your pet and your home as if they were my own and believe in maintaining open communication through updates and photos. My goal is to create a positive, safe, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
About: Hello there! My name is Romon, you can also call me Griz. I suppose my friends see me as the momma or papa bear of the group haha. Anyway I've been taking care of my friend's, family's, and of course personal 'furry best friends'. I have a background in personal training and fitness. Never really ran into a dog that didn't like or respect me at least after the first couple treats or games I was able to play with them. Recently lost two friends one moved away the other, Sasha; a poodle mix of 12 years, passed away I was luckily able to spend more time with her during 2020 before she had to go. Her memories are still with me and I know many are back to work and wish they could spend more time with their newest pups. We can work together to make sure they're, well taken care of, and I just wanted to help out and lessen the load of watching over these wonderful epitomes of joy and energy. I've walked, sitted, played with, slept besides, and even cleaned up after all sorts of dogs from puppyhood to very senior dogs, 10lbs to 100+lbs believe it or not, can't seem to get a break from them, which I don't mind! Lastly I hope to get to know your fuzzy yet amazing family members on a professional and even better, personal level. Feel free to message for any questions I pay very close attention to any special instructions. I've recently found great streams of income im able to maintain at home while working on my online degree Fortunately my major for the 3rd semester in a row is online only. My schedule is pretty open and flexible so I wanted to make the most of my situation and again the main thing is to help out new or out of practice pet owners. Im free at all hours of day and night outside of a select few evenings where I train clients to achieve their fitness goals. Mostly online so feel free to reach out and schedule with me if youd like recurring services. We'll make it work. Im a capable and loving pet owner that doesn't mind breaking a sweat. I would love to keep your fur baby busy AND happy whether its a small walk with portable water bowls, at home self made doggy puzzles to keep their minds sharp and busy, even if I am tired, for those longer sessions. I have access and experience to great doggy parks equipped with fencing and great walking areas, and lots of car space for those longer trips or incase of an emergency where I have to safely transfer your fluffy children quickly. I have a lot of experience to share and rely on too much to list here but go ahead and quiz me at Fanaticallymotivated email on google for those of you new or unsure of my services with the Rover service provider. I hope to work with you both and take care of any worries.
“Tia is awesome with Ziggy. In just 1 week, Ziggy has gotten used to her coming through the door. And sits and waits for her. This has been a lifesaver for us. We will continue to have Tia around as long as she will have us.”

“Amazing! So glad I found him! He came thru last minutes. Some how he was able to get a long with me grouchy Benji and overly excited Nala. I’m sure my dogs will miss him. I would definitely recommend and use his service again.”
About: Hello there! *waves* My name is Ashley. I am an energetic animal enthusiast, with lots of experience in the pet industry. I have managed two pet boarding/daycare facilities, as well as have 9 years of vet tech experience (preventative care and emergency). Because of my skill set, I am able to administer medications (oral and inject-able) and tend to special needs, as well as the basic duties required for pet sitting, should your furry family member need it. Due to my passion for pets, I'm able to provide loving care, when you can't be there. I will treat your pets as if they were my own. Please feel free to contact me if you think I would make a good fit for you and your furkid(s)! (PS - I am feline friendly as well)
About: I’ve taken care of pets personally since 2014 when I had my blue nose pitt! I love all animals and am excited to see what furry friends I make! I’m currently a junior in college, so I’m mostly available for breaks, holidays, and the summer! My availability is more flexible on weekends than weekdays and willing to watch and tend to your paw-some pet overnight in the home! I love having fun and making every furry friend feel comfortable and loved, from baths to letting out the zoomies! My favorite things to do are going on long walks, cuddles, and running around outside together!

“Kim cared for my pup as her own. She was very attentive to him and cared about his feelings. This was my pup’s first time with Kim so he was a little nervous. She cared for his every need and made sure he felt loved and comfortable in her care. Kim made sure that my pup had plenty of fresh air and had lots of attention, attention to the point where she slept near him so he would not feel lonesome. My pup was nice and calm when I picked him up which let me know Kim loved on him as I do. I will book again with Kim. Thank you Kim.”
“Spudsy once again had a wonderful stay with Mark and his family. He was so well taken care of, and had so much fun playing outside all day. He came home exhausted, which I know means he had a great time. Mark was once again a great and consistent communicator, and was flexible about pickup time which was very helpful for me coming home from the airport late. And the photos and videos were beautiful! So appreciate of Mark and his family for making Spud feel like part of the family when he's there!”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
“Joe was great—easy-going and accomodating. My dog had a great time with Joe and two other dogs! He messaged me updates and photos during the 7 days away from our dog, which was very reassuring. Joe even took my dog on a 5 mile run! Will definately book with Joe again. This was the first time using Rover.com, and I highly recommend. I also highly recommend your dog stay with JOE!”

They are super friendly loves dogs and I can’t even thank them enough how they have helped me in last minute dog sitting but just the care they show with my dog.

“This was my first time using Donna and it will not be my last. She kept our 4 year old Yorkie for a week and sent photos and/or video regularly. I can tell that my dog had a GREAT time will there, with Donna and her husband and with the other dogs. My dog is happy and healthy. Donna was a great communicator and very easy to work with. The next time I need a boarder, I know my dog will be in good hands. Thank you again for your great service.”
“Branden was extremely pleasant to work with. I was anxious to leave my energetic puppy with him because my Biscotti can be a handful. I was reassured at every turn and I’m so grateful. Biscotti didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend Branden.”
“Clouseau had a wonderful time with Lillian! I was so appreciative for the updates and photos, and was so glad Clouseau got to play around at the dog park and with other dogs at Lillian's home. We'll see Lillian again soon!”

About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.
“Krista took excellent care of my dog and provided 2x daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable having Pippin stay with her, and would definitely do so again.”
