To anyone considering Sarah as a dog sitter, I would have no hesitation recommending her to care for your precious pet.”

I appreciated I could easily send and receive texts to her especially without downloading an app. We enjoyed receiving daily pictures and videos on how they were doing. I appreciated Ericka's willingness to have flexibility to accomodate their needs. We really had piece of mind with her and her family giving our fur babies attention, comfort and love!”

About: Hi! My name is Andrea, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with texperience caring for many different kinds of pets. I currently have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I’ve had pets throughout my entire life and have spent several years pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just hanging out, I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m experienced in administering different types of medications to cats and understand the patience and gentle approach it takes to make the process as stress-free as possible for our furry friends. I’m also happy to follow any specific care instructions to ensure your pet receives the attention they need. I’m currently a masters student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I know it can be super hard to be away from those we love and that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, so I’m committed to following your instructions carefully to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and have experience with pets of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve assisted with whelping litters, ensuring each puppy gained weight appropriately, met all nutritional requirements, and received attentive care during their earliest stages of life. I also helped with early potty training, socialization, and sensory enrichment to support healthy development. In addition, I have experience caring for elderly pets by providing gentle, patient care, administering medications when needed, monitoring their comfort, and adapting to their changing needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care. I am a stay at home dog and cat mom so I’m available any time and any day to look after your fur babies when needed. I am more comfortable with taking care of your fur babies from your home just because I do have a senior Great Dane who is not the friendliest toward other doggies.
“Janet was amazing. She did twice-daily drop-in visits and made sure my cat got her medication and supplements at the right times. More than that, though, she was great with with my cat, figured out her habits, and accommodated her whims. I was gone for ten days, and they developed their own routine. Janet sent lots of photos, so I knew my cat was doing well. I highly recommend her and will have her look after Tacy again in the future.”
“Thank you for watching our kitties! They seemed happy when we returned home. Rachel was very quick with responding and sending updates. She was very patient and understanding of all the kitties needs when we explained everything. Thank you again!”
“Savanna is a rock star ! She came through last minute and I am so grateful ! She also was very patient with Gatsby ans My other fur child Colby ! Thank you so much I will book again and with Savannah!!”
About: In 2020 I adopted my void kitty, Momo and have always lived with a minimum of one cat in my household ever since, whether they belonged to roomies or friends who couldn’t have pets. Every cat has his or her own personality and routine, and I understand the importance of having someone detail-oriented and understanding to care for pets.

About: I grew up on a farm just outside of hutch, so we had a large variety of animals, including but not limited to cats, dogs, and even a tortise at one point! I’d love to help meet all your needs and your animals needs in anyway possible! I recently moved to new mexico, but i am at home all day everyday! I am currently a travel nurse, but I am home a lot with my schedule, so my 5 cats and 1 dog, all are fully vaccinated get a lot of one on one time. But I love taking care of animals so that’s why I’m doing this. It fits really well into my ever changing routine. I currently live in a 56 foot Sanibel camper, but it is a pet friendly camper. My 5 cats Jezabell, Bogey, Penner, Don Julio, and Eve are very friendly and easy to get along with. They have free range food, as i tried to limit it and it just wasn’t working for them so Im trying this and it seems to work very well for them. They also have whatever they could ever want in water and toys, and I clean their litter boxes at least once a day to make them happier :) Ripley goes on walks morning and night, and is out of her kennel all day with me most days. But she is crate trained and very respectful but also playful!
About: I’ve gained hands on experience working with cats in a veterinary clinic, where I assist with handling, monitoring, and daily care. I regularly work with cats of all temperaments from friendly and social to shy or more sensitive cats that need a calm, patient approach. I also help care for boarding cats at the clinic, where I’m responsible for maintaining their routines, keeping their spaces clean, monitoring their behavior, and ensuring medications are administered accurately and on schedule. This has given me strong experience working with cats in both medical and boarding environments, especially those who may be stressed or away from home. Outside of the clinic, I focus on creating a comfortable, low-stress environment where cats can feel safe and stick to their normal routines.
About: Hi, I’m Desiree! I’m 29 years old, and my love for animals has been a part of who I am for as long as I can remember. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and throughout my life I’ve opened my heart and home to many pets in need. I had the privilege of fostering animals for two years, caring for pets from different backgrounds and with different personalities. While I eventually stepped away from fostering because saying goodbye became so difficult, my passion for helping animals never faded. That’s what inspired me to become a Rover sitter. I’m also the proud dog mom of three amazing dogs of all sizes, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. When your pet is in my care, they’ll be treated like family—with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own dogs. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. I offer weekday, evening, and weekend availability with advance notice. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my highest priority. I carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special care your pet may need. I provide a clean, secure environment, constant supervision, and plenty of affection to help your pet feel at ease. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing reliable, compassionate care and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member and give them a fun, safe, and loving home away from home! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I can accommodate weekday, evening, and weekend bookings with advance notice. I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and affection while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I maintain a clean, safe environment, provide constant supervision, and make sure pets feel relaxed and loved. I also have experience caring for my own dogs and understand the importance of patience and positive interactions.
About: I have 2 chihuahuas Pete & maple, I also have 2 cats Penelope and Athena. I believe we need to take care of animals at all costs because they are just so pure and gentle with us humans. I am working full time as a nanny, I am available to help with any pet care you need! Message me to work out availability. My current housing situation is complicated to take care of your fur babies at my home. If your dog fur baby is cat friendly then it is a possibility, if not it would be stressful for both my fur babies and yours and that’s a situation I would like to avoid.

“Bella had an amazing time! She is worn out from her walks and play. Kathryn is amazing, really cares about the pups she keeps and keeps you updated throughout the day with plenty photos and videos 🥹. 10/10 would definitely recommend.”
About: Hey pet owners! As someone who has never experienced life without a furry family member, I know just how much each and every one of you care for and love your pets. I grew up with a Dalmatian, he was in my life from birth until I was 11. During some of that time my family and I had seven cats - our two adoptive cats had 5 kittens - as well as an array of birds and fish. I now have my own pup and three cats so plenty of experience and would of course treat your pet as if it was my own. At the moment my schedule is very open. I do my best to adhere to my personal rule of not to leave the pets I care for for more than 4 hours at a time when in my care. If in my home, I do not leave the pets alone with mine until they have been supervised for a significant amount of time and have shown me that they get along. I also have two roommates, and I can almost guarantee that there will be someone home at nearly all times. In a clients home I try to make the environment and activities as normal for them as I can. But if you believe that when I’m with them it should be a treat for them I’m happy to take them on exciting new walks, check out new parks (for dogs) and spend time playing with them and giving them all of my attention.
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life, different breeds and sizes, I’ve helped with birth of puppies, nurture sick ones too. I am a dog adoption advocate. I am not working at the moment so my schedule is pretty open. I am currently looking for a job but not in a huge hurry. While waiting I will work at my dream job ☺️Dog sitting. I will provide for the needs and safety of your pets per client requirement with much love and kindness. Having a play time is also a must. 😊
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep respect, love, and attention I give every animal in my care. I truly believe animals show us how to love, live in the moment, and connect with the world around us. Because of that, I see caring for pets as more than a job — it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a relationship I genuinely value. My dedication to their care, comfort, and protection makes me a strong advocate for their joy and safety. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and emotional needs so they feel secure, understood, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including energetic young pets who need patience, consistency, and exercise, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentleness, extra monitoring, slower walks, medication support, and calm companionship. Whether a pet wants to play, cuddle, explore, or simply rest quietly nearby, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to create a peaceful, loving environment where pets are treated like family and owners feel complete peace of mind. Every day starts with pets first. The morning begins with fresh water, a snack if needed, and then straight outside to the fenced backyard for a potty break. For dogs, the next part of the routine is one of my favorites — a 3–4 mile walk to help them get exercise, stimulation, and a happy start to their day. After the walk, we settle in for breakfast if that’s part of their routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are never left without attention for long. While I’m cleaning, kitchen prepping, or working around the house, I take frequent breaks for cuddles, playtime, and backyard visits. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I make sure every pet gets regular affection, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I truly enjoy creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I care with attention, intention and detail. I check in often and spend time just sitting with and talking to. I give So much LOVE.

“Allison is sweet and very kind. We felt comfortable with her and her communications. She followed our instructions for our dog (considerations for the heat, misting her down, checking her food and water, where to take her) and we know Gypsy was well taken care of. Recommend her and we'll book her again when we're back in the area.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals at every stage of life. I don’t just “watch” pets — I care for them as if they were my own. I understand that each animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I have experience working with both young and senior pets. With puppies and young dogs, I am patient and consistent with basic training reinforcement, including potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior habits. I know how important structure is during those early months, and I make sure to maintain the routine you’ve established. For senior pets, I provide gentle, attentive care and closely monitor mobility, medication schedules, and comfort needs. I understand that older animals often need extra patience, slower walks, and more frequent check-ins, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications if needed.
About: I’ve had numerous experiences with all kinds of animals. I’m a Retired RN and can give injections/meds to your sick/senior babies. I have lots of time to spend taking care of your babies. I retired this year and that allows me to be available 24/7. Also weekends and holidays are not a problem. Medical Care not an issue. I am available to stay overnight in your home if needed. I currently have 2 cats both Seniors and 2 dogs. I spoil them rotten as they should be.
About: I provide an safe haven for all my fury and non-fury friends. I provide an clean safe space and make sure all is provided for all my fury friends. One of my first job was house-sitting and taking care of necessities around the house as well as the owner's pets. I not only clean and help around the house but I also make sure the dogs are fed, getting in their exercise and etc. I also take them on walks and make sure they are comfortable with me first, because dogs can sense if people are actually decent and kind beings. I have always been around animals my entire life and would not mind getting a little dirty and fun with them. It's no fun when your always clean at least for a dog's point of view. Loll
About: I have watched a large pack of dogs (13) at one point. I have my own dog to take care of. I've also watched my neighbors blue heeler and my aunts dogs and cats while she was away. Dogs seem to naturally gravitate towards me. I work part time at a hotel and I just recently graduated college. My husband and I are fixing to move and I figured this would be a good way to make a little bit of side money to help cover this move. I have my own 3 year old dog. He is amazing but can be a little wild. I have also looked after my neighbors dog and took care of my family friends dogs.

About: Animals have always been part of my life. I grew up with barn cats and have cared for dogs since childhood, giving me real experience and a natural, loving approach to pet care. I work Monday through Wednesday. I can also work Friday and Saturday if needed, and prefer to have Sundays off to maintain a balanced schedule. Currently living in a townhouse with a small fenced yard. Living with three dogs, we have 2 crates we use when all occupants are out of the house.
About: I just love animals just like everyone else and am looking to help out. I’ve cared for animals the majority of my life as my parents had that responsibility put on me, I’ve house sit animals plenty times before. I’m available pretty much always, I’m taking the summer to rest as I am a very busy college student but I need something to keep me busy. I don’t have the most optimal space to care for a pet at my place but at your place I am very flexible and willing to accommodate as needed.
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life, different breeds and sizes, I’ve helped with birth of puppies, nurture sick ones too. I am a dog adoption advocate. I am not working at the moment so my schedule is pretty open. I am currently looking for a job but not in a huge hurry. While waiting I will work at my dream job ☺️Dog sitting. I will provide for the needs and safety of your pets per client requirement with much love and kindness. Having a play time is also a must. 😊
About: I have a lot of experience with large dogs and cats as I have 7 dogs and 2 cats myself. I also have experience with farm animals if needed! Back home, I would take out my dogs in the morning and let them play for atleast an hour. By midday, I would take them outside again and then bring them inside to play or sleep. By 6pm, everyone’s fed and playing until 8, which is bedtime. If needed, they get showers if they are dirty every other week, Safety-wise, I make sure their backyard is secure whil outside. Inside, I make sure they atleast have a crate our are in a clean area. I trust all my animals as I would a sibling such as animals are family members as much as pets.
About: Hi, my name's Betsy. I love animals of all kinds, and have shared in their love and care all of my life.. I ensure they get the best care and have also volunteered at an animal shelter where I assisted in taking care of dogs and cats. A long term cat owner, I currently am owned by a lovely senior boy cat. My goal is to ensure that all of the pets in my care get everything they need to be their best selves. I am cool, calm, and collected in emergency situations. You can count on me to get your pet(s) any care that they may need. I can also handle most medications and love to hang out with seniors. Daytime visits work best for me (I’m flexible on time) and can do some evening care if necessary. I appreciate your consideration I have a part time job so this is a great opportunity to give pets the care they need. I really love meeting new pets and making friends with them. I know pets needs and can make sure all are met I love to ensure that pets get everything they need to be their best selves, from basic care to assisting with training. I've been a pet owner all my life, and can do anything from long walks to play to administering medicine of all kinds.
About: I grew up on a farm just outside of hutch, so we had a large variety of animals, including but not limited to cats, dogs, and even a tortise at one point! I’d love to help meet all your needs and your animals needs in anyway possible! I recently moved to new mexico, but i am at home all day everyday! I am currently a travel nurse, but I am home a lot with my schedule, so my 5 cats and 1 dog, all are fully vaccinated get a lot of one on one time. But I love taking care of animals so that’s why I’m doing this. It fits really well into my ever changing routine. I currently live in a 56 foot Sanibel camper, but it is a pet friendly camper. My 5 cats Jezabell, Bogey, Penner, Don Julio, and Eve are very friendly and easy to get along with. They have free range food, as i tried to limit it and it just wasn’t working for them so Im trying this and it seems to work very well for them. They also have whatever they could ever want in water and toys, and I clean their litter boxes at least once a day to make them happier :) Ripley goes on walks morning and night, and is out of her kennel all day with me most days. But she is crate trained and very respectful but also playful!
About: I’ve had over 100 animals since I was a kid my mom ran an animal rescue so I’ve been around animals my entire life.

Night or Day I’d love to assist with any pet care assistance! (I also do holidays) I’m currently enrolled in the Bachelors program at NMSU so I will work around my class/club/volunteer schedule. I prefer to work runs and hikes into my schedule anyway might as well have some sweeties to accompany me I’ve stayed at about a dozen homes and each client has put their trust in me not only to care for their pets but also their homes. Each have expressed great satisfaction and a job well done. Most clients requested continuous services after. (Will do holidays ex. Christmas , 4th of July, New Years, vacations.

I appreciated I could easily send and receive texts to her especially without downloading an app. We enjoyed receiving daily pictures and videos on how they were doing. I appreciated Ericka's willingness to have flexibility to accomodate their needs. We really had piece of mind with her and her family giving our fur babies attention, comfort and love!”

“I appreciate that Alejandra was available and willing to take care of my baby for a whole week with just a one week notice. She is personable and flexible, making the intro visit a breeze. She knows how to handle meds, which is a big deal for me since my baby needs different meds twice daily. She seems to love and pamper doggies- my baby was barking at me from Alejandra's bed when I went to pick her up.... TRAICIONERA! I would definitely use Alejandra again if available.”

“I had an excellent experience with Vanessa from start to finish. The meet-and-greet at her house went very well and I was so thankful to have a home boarding option for my very social dog Mugs (senior GSD-pittie-cattle dog mix) over the Christmas holidays. She sent regular photo and video updates and was transparent and proactive with any questions or issues as they arose. The option to pick him up and drop him off was an absolute lifesaver as well, since I was flying across the country to visit family and I could not guarantee that my booked return flight would return at the scheduled time. Mugs had a fantastic time and I would recommend her to anyone.”
