“The best thing about going on vacation is to know that your dogs might have a vacation as well! Angel took care of my 2 dogs in a caring and safe place. My dogs were welcomed at her house as their own. I loved the constant updates. I would like to book with her in a near future knowing that my dogs are happy at her place.”

One of our pets was recovering from an unexpected illness and needed medications and some very specific feeding instructions which was managed very diligently. We are very happy with the care our dogs received here.”

Chloe was so happy with Roberta that I was a little envious when I went to pick her up! I highly recommend Roberta and will be setting up another stay with her soon.”
“Our dog, Ailyn, had a great time with Jessica and her animals. Ailyn was fascinated with the cats and between them and Clara she had a blast and played hard during her stay.”
“Laurie was just great in every aspect of boarding our pooch Mikey. She was very accommodating to our schedule and was quick to respond to calls and text. But most importantly, Laurie was fantastic with Mikey. One could immediately tell she is at ease with dogs. I would certainly use Laurie on our next visit to Prescott and recommend her to our friends with dogs. John and Nancy F.”

About: Worked with professional dog trainers for the past 2 years. I can help set up the groundwork for tug-less walks for puppies, as well as provide redirection. I've raised my own German Shepard since he was a pup, and he was a nipper back then- with consistency and awareness he quickly outgrew it. Currently fostering a Aussie/Husky mix so I'm no stranger to bigger/ higher energy dogs. I typically walk my dogs everyday for about 2 miles in the midday/evenings , so this is a seamless transition to something I already work on. Currently in between jobs so I'm readily available! I only offer the best for my boys and I hope to impart that onto my clients pets as well. That includes keeping an eye out for your dogs overall health, temperament changes, discomforts, successes, and grooming.
“Cheyenne was great! My dog Theo was super happy and excited when we got home from our vaca! Got pictures throughout the weekend that allowed me to enjoy my time away. I will definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: ***Please be sure to fill out your pet's entire profile and please do not ask me to contact you on an external phone number until you have been established as a client ; All initial communication must be through the Rover app or website*** Hi I'm Lana! I am trained in animal care and I have been pet sitting (mostly dogs) for more than 10 years. I think dogs are really special beings and beautiful companions. I enjoy being able to give pet parents peace of mind that their loved ones are being looked after with the utmost care and compassion. I have cared for dogs of various sizes, temperaments and ages. My naturally calm and patient disposition works well with most, especially dogs that may need more time and attention, such as shy dogs or older dogs. I am available for drop-in visits, overnights and walks. For walks and drop-in visits, I still have space open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Mondays and Fridays are packed. If you have any questions about specific dates and times please feel free to send me a message here on Rover. I prefer to care for pets in their own home because it offers them a sense of security during a difficult emotional time while their humans are away. **PLEASE NOTE** I am only offering overnights to existing clients of 4-6 weeks or more, I feel it is important for me and your animal companions to get to know each other before their family goes away.

“Joshua was excellent, managed the strict diet of our growing kitten with IBS, gave us regular hilarious updates, and managed to get on the good side of our other cranky cat.”

About: Hi! I’m Mrs. K, and I’m a reliable, responsible, and caring pet sitter who understands how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your cat in someone else’s care. I’m a cat owner myself, and we have two cats in our home, so I’m very familiar with different cat personalities, routines, and needs. We also have a young daughter who has been taught to be gentle and respectful around animals. She understands that cats need their space and that we never chase, bother, or mistreat them. All interactions with pets are supervised. My main focus is reliable, attentive care. I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, attention, and anything else they need to stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates so you know how your cat is doing. I know your pets are family, and I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and respect I’d want someone to give my own cats. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and well being will always be my priority.
“Nicholas took great care of our two cats for a week. During every visit, he sent us photos as well as updates on events (such as having refilled the water fountain, changing the litter, etc.). He also sent us videos of the cats every few days. We found the cats happy when we came back. It was clear that Nicholas loved the cats and the cats loved him back. Would wholeheartedly recommend him!”
About: I have taken care of cats all my life. I owe 3 boy cats & have been a foster parent to cats through Feline and friends! Friends have relied on me to check in on their fur babies and I would like to be able to do the same.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years and have experience caring for both small and large breeds. I grew up with a dachshund and now have a Bernedoodle, so I’m comfortable with everything from little lap dogs to energetic, larger pups. I know that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

My home has a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. I've been a dog owner for over 10 years and have experience caring for both small and large breeds. I previously owned a Dachshund and currently have a friendly Bernedoodle, giving me firsthand experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care requirements.

I understand the importance of clear communication, consistency, and treating every pet like a member of the family. I work from home, which allows me to spend the majority of the day with the pets in my care. This means they'll receive frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, lots of attention, and very little time left alone.

“Kendall was fantastic! She did a great job of taking care of Fritz and was very communicative and provided helpful updates throughout Fritz’s time with her. She was so helpful last minute! Highly recommend!”
About: My husband and I have an Australian cattle dog and had a tabby cat who has crossed the rainbow road. I often care for my family members' dog when they are out of town. He requires special care, as he needs to take a few pills every day both day and night. This schedule is second nature to us. We enjoy being around our furry pals and will enjoy caring for yours too! They will be treated like our own pets and will benefit from being more socialized! I have a flexible schedule because I work from home and can easily adjust to your pets needs. I work a traditional schedule leaving my weekends especially open. I have a fenced in yard and our back door has a doggie door so your dog can go in and out as they please. We also have a large dog crate if your pet is kennel trained.

“Abby had a great time with Eliza and Alejandro and came home tuckered after plenty of walks and cuddles. I have them booked again for two different days next week also. I appreciated the photo updates. THANKS!!”
“Our dog had great fun playing with the dogs at the sitter 😁. Laurie took them on a hike one day and our dog had a great time and was nice and tired out for a calm evening 😊. Lily was very excited to go back for her second day! You should be forewarned that her house is down a dirt road with ups and downs. Would definitely recommend this sitter for a social and energetic dog”
“Chloe did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Zoey. They went on several walks, and Zoey came home happy and tired each day. Chloe had great communication throughout and was a huge help during our visit to Santa Fe. I highly recommend her!”

She was easy to communicate plans with and we felt totally safe leaving our dog with her. She has the perfect set up, works from home. He came back happy and tired!”

“We had such a good experience leaving our Weimaraner with Eva. Our dog has separation anxiety, but with Eva he actually relaxed and seemed to enjoy himself!

We can't say enough good things about our Rover experience with Eva. Would definitely recommend.”

About: Just an FYI we can only sit for dogs that are 30 lbs or smaller, due to HOA rules in our condo complex. I have had and cared for a dog most of my life. I have never been dog sitting on Rover for a couple of years now, and have enjoyed it immensely. I love having dogs around. I am a stay at home mom, who is home a majority of the day. Russell, my husband, would also be caring for your dog, and he's great with dogs. We would love to have your pup over for a visit, while you are out of town. If you have any question, please feel free to ask. I do have a 4 year old son. He is great with dogs/pets. He used to dogs being around.We had a dog for his whole life. Unfortunately, our Charlie dog passed away last May. He was 11/12 years old. I am a stay at home mom, with a bookkeeping freelance business, so I am home most of the day. When I do work, my husband is usually home, except on Tuesdays. I have a 4 year old also, so I do have to take him and pick him up from preschool. We live in an apartment. We go outside often, and have no problems take dogs out. Our apartment is clean and tidy. I am good at following directions that may be given to care for you pup.
About: In the past, I have taken care of dogs and cats for family members. Occasionally, I am also volunteering to walk my neighbor (schitsu) dog. I am available on the days when I am off work (usually Wed, Sat, Sun). I will know my work schedule a month in advance. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I can provide play time. I am not afraid of large breeds and physically capable of walking large dog.
About: I’m a lifelong animal caregiver with experience in wildlife rehabilitation, shelter volunteering, and years of caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I previously worked as a Rover sitter in Indiana and had regular long‑term clients, especially people with senior pets or busy work schedules who needed dependable drop‑in support. With a strong professional background and years of running my own small business, I bring reliability, clear communication, and a client‑focused mindset to every visit. My goal is to make your life easier and keep your pets comfortable, happy, and well‑cared‑for at home. Pet care is already part of my everyday rhythm. I start and end my days checking in on my own animals, so adding drop ins fits smoothly into my schedule. I’m steady, consistent, and able to stop by throughout the day for pets who need midday support or a little extra attention. I care for pets with a calm, patient approach shaped by years of wildlife rehab, shelter work, and regular Rover clients. I pay attention to each animal’s comfort level and adjust to what they need, whether that’s play, quiet company, or senior care. I keep their routine steady, their space tidy, and I always communicate clearly so you know how they’re doing.
“Getting care for my dogs is usually the most stressful and expensive part of my vacation, but with Lauren it was neither. My dogs love her and didn't tackle me with desperation when I returned. I feel like I get more than I pay for when I book Lauren to walk or watch them, which is so great that I might actually get out of town a little more often now. She's very friendly and personable to people, too! Most importantly, she's extremely reliable. She's very upfront about any potential scheduling conflicts. I get the impression she's the kind of person to under-promise and over-deliver so that there's little chance of miscommunication when it comes to four-legged family. We only had time to meet her once before I left town on a short trip, but I felt totally comfortable leaving her the keys to my home. AND she's a lifesaver. My flight home was delayed indefinitely and she responded asap from work to let me know she'd be able to add an additional walk that night. It was a priceless feeling to not have to worry about my dogs while I was trapped in an airport out of state. If you have the chance to book her before her schedule starts to fill up with regulars, do it!”
About: I’ve been taking care of big and small dogs for my friends and family for a long time. I have done everything for the dogs including feeding, bathing, walking and over night sitting for them. I currently only work Sun-Mon and Wednesday-Thursday so I am available for watching and taking care of your pets Tuesday, Friday and Saturday from the early morning to late afternoon. I have a fenced in backyard and two small dogs. I have two male shih- tzus. They will be here to keep your dogs company.
“Eliza was wonderful with our pets! She gave us daily updates and photos, and was very easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. She was even willing to stop before the booking began to make sure that she would be a good fit for us and my pup. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I will spend quality time with any and every animal that I watch. My brother and his girlfriend have me walk they're two dog's a few times a week while they're at work. They have a rotty and a german shepherd mix. I love doing it and my daughter loves them as well. I figured sense we love it so much I should see if I can get paid for it! I have been watching both dogs and cats for about 5 years now for both friend's and family whenever needed. I am not scared of pit bulls or any breed. I believe how you raise them is how they act. I am willing to deal with any kind of breed. I LOVE THEM ALL!
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals my entire life and have hands-on experience with dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and other small animals. Being around a variety of pets has taught me how to understand different personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means long walks, playtime, or simply giving them attention and comfort while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for! I am taking a gap year after college and will be doing lots of road tripping. I would love to explore new cities, and since I'm not working I will have all day to play with and care for your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and attention, and feel comfortable while their owners are away.
About: Upon having taken care of pets for quite some time now. I have learned that all animals need love and compassion like us. I have cared for a variety of animals from mice to snakes and cats to goats. All of the time learning what to do and not to do with every animal. I've always had animals in my life ever since I was a little girl and I loved to caring for them. I was a foster parent for cats a few years back but had to stop when we moved. I've own a few dogs and enjoy the company they have to give to us. I would be more than happy to take care of your babies and treat them as my own.
“Angel takes such great care of our pup! She’s quick to respond and flexible with our schedule. Can tell from the pictures she sends that our dog is happy and enjoys walks with Angel.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. Pets of friends, families and at doggy daycares. Pets of all ages, size and attentiveness to special needs. I am currently unemployed. I will have plenty of free time to take special care of your animals and their special needs. Completely open and willing. I have a fenced in yard, it’s private and not close to any roads. My neighbor is a friendly and kind man with a medium sized delightful husky.
About: I am an absolute cat person and I've been taken care of my in-law's cats and convinced my husband 3 years ago to adopt our own furr-babies. I will take care of your little ones as if they were mine. It is important that they are taken care of but it is also important that they don't feel lonely or left out. I will go the extra mile and spend time with them. Gaining their trust to get affection from them or play with them is key. I am happy to spend extra time with them with no extra charges. Cats affections are the reward! I am flexible in terms of hours and home office. If I know your schedule in advance I can work from home and take care of your cats at any time during the day. If your cats let me, I will play with them, cuddle them, and spend extra time with them. But the most important things are their feeding routine, making sure they're hydrated and to provide a clean cat litter box for their well-being.

“The best thing about going on vacation is to know that your dogs might have a vacation as well! Angel took care of my 2 dogs in a caring and safe place. My dogs were welcomed at her house as their own. I loved the constant updates. I would like to book with her in a near future knowing that my dogs are happy at her place.”
“Stephanie has a wonderfully large space for dogs to play outdoors and get plenty of exercise. One of our pets was recovering from an unexpected illness and needed medications and some very specific feeding instructions which was managed very diligently. We are very happy with the care our dogs received here.”
“Tami was great with our dog, Rosie! She took the time to learn her routines and in every pic she sent Rosie looked super comfortable and happy. We’ll definitely try to have Rosie stay with Tami again :)”
“Ian took great care of our giant puppy for a week over Christmas so we could be with family on the East Coast. We appreciated his willingness to do so over the holiday.”
“Eliza and family did an excellent job watching our pup over the weekend. He felt right at home playing in their big backyard and running around with the kids. Eliza kept us up to date and it was great knowing he was in such good hands.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years and have experience caring for both small and large breeds. I grew up with a dachshund and now have a Bernedoodle, so I’m comfortable with everything from little lap dogs to energetic, larger pups. I know that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just hanging out on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll care for your pet like they’re one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way! I provide attentive, reliable pet care tailored to each dog's individual needs. Services include walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, administering basic medications if needed, potty breaks, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I enjoy keeping dogs active through outdoor play, neighborhood walks, and enrichment activities while also respecting the routines and preferences that help them feel comfortable. My home has a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. I've been a dog owner for over 10 years and have experience caring for both small and large breeds. I previously owned a Dachshund and currently have a friendly Bernedoodle, giving me firsthand experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care requirements. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I've spent years looking after pets for family and friends, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand the importance of clear communication, consistency, and treating every pet like a member of the family. I work from home, which allows me to spend the majority of the day with the pets in my care. This means they'll receive frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, lots of attention, and very little time left alone. My flexible schedule allows me to stick to your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, helping them feel comfortable, secure, and happy while you're away. I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, and dependable care, and I strive to make them feel like part of my own family from the moment they arrive. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. Whether we’re playing, walking, or relaxing at home, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you’re away.
“Dawn once again took great care of our dog, Sevi, while we were visiting Santa Fe a second time. Sevi is a sensitive shepherd mix, and she gave Dawn a thumbs up! Dawn was communicative and responsible.”
“Christina did a great job with our pup. She was extremely communicative and allowed my girlfriend and I to enjoy a day trip to the caverns/Guadalupe mountains with ease of mind.”
“Amanda was amazing with my dog Coco! She was caring, reliable, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. Coco was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when I got back. I would absolutely trust Amanda to watch Coco again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.”
“Our dog, Ailyn, had a great time with Jessica and her animals. Ailyn was fascinated with the cats and between them and Clara she had a blast and played hard during her stay.”
“Patricia was very easy to work with and was great communicating. My dog loved being at her house and getting to play with Gila and Cedar. I loved that my dog was able to have a lot of outdoor time to soak up the sunshine.”
About: I offer thoughtful, detail oriented pet care with a strong focus on consistency, safety, and communication. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, managing routines, and providing a calm presence for animals that may be anxious or sensitive to change. I am also comfortable with medication management. I take the responsibility of being in someone’s home seriously and aim to create a seamless experience both for pets and their owners. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and a high level of respect for your space. My dog, Tessie, is so important to me so I treat your pets with as much love and care that I would want her to have. My work experience includes firefighter/paramedic, ER nurse, clinic work, and am certified in Pet First Aid. I am the Clinical Director at a local free clinic. This allows me to have flexible but predictable hours each week. Because of this I can provide consistent, punctual visits with compassionate care for your pets. For house sitting I can make mid day visits so that your pets are not alone for longer than needed. I cater each experience to the needs of you and your pet. I prefer to have clear communication of your preferences so that I can ensure that you are as happy with the visit as your pets are. For house sitting, I stay in the home so pets can remain in their familiar space with minimal disruption. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and medication schedules, provide companionship throughout the day and evening, and ensure the home is cared for as well (lights, plants, mail, basic tidiness). My goal is to maintain a calm, consistent presence so pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. For in home drop-ins, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box or yard clean up, medications if needed, and quality time with each pet. I tailor each visit to the pet’s energy level and personality including playtime, short walks, or quiet companionship. I also provide updates after each visit so owners feel connected and reassured. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s pace and needs. I prioritize leash safety, positive reinforcement, and a calm walking experience. Walks can include neighborhood routes or familiar areas your dog enjoys, or local dog parks, and I always ensure they return home settled, hydrated, and comfortable.
“We had to find a last minute sitter and Mel was there to rescue. Hatty loved staying with Mel. Very easy to communicate. We highly recommend Mel and Hatty is definitely looking forward to staying with Mel again.”
“Brooke was phenomenal. I feel lucky to have found her and think she's an absolute gem on this app. I will definitely be using her again to take care of Luna, would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! It was a huge relief to know that Luna was being so well attended to. She seemed really happy and like she settled in with Brooke right away and Brooke's communication was amazing. I received lots of updates and photos.”
“Leahlani Was fantastic. She took great care of my pup and was very responsive with communication. Sam had a ton of fun during his visit, and I picked him up happy and very tired from all the playing he got to do.”
