“Kelly was great with our dog Bear! She was communicative throughout the whole process and put our minds at ease while we were away by sending pictures and video. Her dog was an added bonus since Bear doesn’t get too much exposure to friends. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Our doggo had a great time and sierra was an amazing sitter. Our pomsky started to shed before her stay and sierra took the time to brush her out for us bless her heart. We couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind we get leaving our fur baby with such great people. We would re book with them for as long as they’ll let us!”
“I am new to Rover and was very anxious about leaving my dog with somebody. Crystal was amazing. She is super communicative and sent me pictures throughout the time my dog was with her. My dog had such a fin time with her and her family! Will 100% be booking Crystal again in the future. Thank you again!”
“Sarah is great! She was available on short notice and took excellent care of my dog Maizie. Her little fur baby was also very friendly and welcoming, so Maizie had a playmate for the day as a bonus!”
“Charlette was a dream come true!!! She was very communicative during the entirety of our dog’s stay. Our pups really enjoyed being with her and were very well taken care of. They went on walks and played a ton! We are looking forward to booking again.”
“Arlo, our weim has stayed with Joan and Tim multiple times now and they are absolutely amazing. Arlo is always so well cared for, happy, and relaxed when we get home. They’re reliable, communicative, and truly love what they do. We trust them completely and feel so lucky to have found them! Highly recommend!”
“I am so excited that I found someone who will luv and take care of my fur babies like I would. This was the first time I left my babies with a sitter. Katie assured me they would be ok and for me to go enjoy myself on my little getaway! I am happy that I did! I luv how Katie made communication during their stay. I could see that my fur babies were well taken care of and was enjoying their stay. The walks, playtime, and other activities. Thank you Katie! You Rock!!!!!”
“Jenn and Brian were fantastic! They made sure Millie was comfortable and got along with their dogs very well. She was all tuckered out after I picked her up. I would use their services again!”
“Mindy was truly amazing! Chichi clearly loved his few days at Mindy’s house while I was away and came home happy (unlike his previous stay at a kennel where he came home totally miserable!!) Mindy sent many pictures and kept me updated , she clearly is very knowledgeable about animals, and chichi was well taken care off - I will absolutely book with Mindy again!!”
“Michelle cared for my Louie and Louie and I were so grateful. She sent many pix throughout his stay and walked him when possible(weather permitting). Most appreciated was that Michelle was able to accommodate us when Delta canceled our flight home and Michelle kept Louie for an additional day. Would recommend her highly and will use her again”
“Denae and Mark were absolute angels! They are such nice people! I felt that my crazy, young pittie was in great hands! Zero felt right at home during the first meet and greet and that made leaving her there for a long weekend less anxiety-inducing for both me and her as she is a bit of an anxious dog. They made her feel so comfortable! I will definitely be booking with them again and would recommend them for anyone! Lots of pictures and great communication! Thank you Mark and Denae!”

“I booked Beverly because I thought she would take good care of my Lola while I was away. And she did. She messaged me almost every day I was away and sent pictures! Lola had a good time and got along well with Bev’s dog, Daisy. An added “perk” is the fenced in back yard where I knew Lola could do her “zoomies” safely. I didn’t worry about Lola getting good care while I was away. I highly recommend Beverly and would book with her again.”
“Anthony did a great job taking care of my pup. She can be shy and fearful in new situations and Anthony did a great job to keep her calm and comfortable. She enjoyed playing with his dogs, Yoki and Canelo. I enjoyed receiving updates and pictures of my pup while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Anthony is calm, reliable and welcoming. I plan to use his services again when I need them.”
“Nichole took such good care of our dog, Juniper! She was so well cared for and enjoyed playing with Nichole's dog. Nichole sent lots of pictures and updates and even went as far as to clean her ears when she saw they were irritated. We could not recommend her more!”

“This was my first time using a cat sitter for our cat, so I didn't know how our cat would respond. We were so lucky with Mickey, who went above and beyond to play with her and spend time with her, and send videos so we could see how engaged and happy she was. We are so grateful to have found such a great caretaker and hope to use her services in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, lizards, and hamsters! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly adore pets of all kinds. Whether they’re energetic, shy, scaly, fluffy, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own best friend. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible morning schedule and the ability to create my own hours. I love spending as much time as possible with the animals, making sure they feel loved, stay active and engaged through play, and are always safe and well cared for. I live in an apartment complex, so I generally take my dog out every few hours so he can get his exercise, use the bathroom, and enjoy the outdoors. I do the same with those I’m sitting for!
“Elisabeth was a great sitter. We booked her for our two cats and also for some indoor and outdoor plant watering. She was timely, responsive, and took care of pets and home. We had a fluorescent light randomly break (or maybe not randomly considering cats lol) in the basement and she let us know immediately and also took the extra step to clean it up. Would recommend!”
“Katherine is the best cat sitter out there! She's extremely patient and amazing with my scaredy cat! She has watched my cat several times already and I request her every time I travel! :)”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Porterville
“This was our first experience leaving our 9 mo. old shihtzu pup for daycare. Mom was nervous - puppy had the best day ever! Katie took great care of our boy and he definitely loved every minute, living his best life! Thank you Katie!”
“We were just passing through on a road trip and landed tickets to see the Bills play so this was a last minute book. Sierra was wonderful with our Bella who has separation anxiety. She took it slow with Bella and soon Sierra had her eating (she has NEVER eaten a meal when we are not there with her), going for walks, and napping. I can tell Sierra was great with Bella because she was happy when we picked her up and went right to sleep when we got home.”
“Mary is absolutely fantastic. Beautiful home easy to get to. Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. My dog has been going to Mary every week. Safe environment I can’t recommend highly enough.”
About: Hi there! I'm Caitlin, and for the past 13 years, I have gained extensive education, training, and experience with all types of animals. I have been with Rover since 2014 and have had over 190 clients through the years. As a proud professional, the experience under my belt includes: - Solo management of a small, rural cat shelter - Behavioral and adoption staff at a large urban animal shelter - Dog and cat training - Fear free certification - Management staff for boarding and daycare - Professional bathing/grooming - Exotic animal handling - Bachelor's degree in Animal Behavior Besides my professional experience, I have been a pet owner my whole life - dogs, cats, and exotics included! Right now - I have four beloved cats. ** Currently, my preferred clients are cats, small dogs, seniors, and more relaxed pets. I am not suited to care for strong, energetic dogs who need extensive exercise. ** In-home boarding and dog daycare are services I vet very extensively and am particular about due to my cats. While I do offer the services, it is always better to choose a house sit/drop in visit with me instead - these I can be much more flexible about. Some other services I provide beyond the basics include: - Wedding pet care and assistance - Pet transportation - Travel pet care and assistance - and more! I am a *CONSTANT CARE SITTER!* That means, I am in your home for the vast majority of the day, due to my day job being completely remote. While some others may need to step out for a full work day, I commit my time to YOUR pet(s) and YOUR pet(s) only - which sets me apart from other sitters. You may see that my husband, Josh, is also on my profile. He will occasionally help me with some services, but I am the primary sitter. I will always let clients know if he is going to be present for any services. While I work remotely, there are times I am unable to step out for long periods. Please note that because of this, all drop ins requested must be flexible within timeframes: 7am-11am or 11am-5pm. Safety for pets and myself is and always has been my top priority. I am proudly fear free certified and have worked on extensive safety training measures in all of my professional working environments. I know how to use all types of equipment (leashes, collars, harnesses, e-collars, etc) with ease.

About: I have raised two dogs (one large bread and one small bread) both from puppy to 16 & 17yrs old. I have had three cats (one still residing with me). Currently I dog sit two fur babies since 2020. In a week I am losing one of my buddies due to his parents relocating. I am already missing him and am hoping to make some new walking and cuddling partners. I work part time on weekends but can sit with advanced notice. Monday til Wednesday I am available for anytime on shorter notice. When I have your furry sweetheart I do not leave them by themselves at all,so I like to schedule when there is nothing to conflict with the time I have them. When in my house they have no restrictions from me, only what the parent wants. I have an outside bathroom area on leash for quick bathroom trips. I like to go for at least one or two long walks per day, weather permitting and your dogs abilities. I live in a walkable neighborhood and close to parks. When at your house I will follow whatever routine your partner is used to.

At home, I provide a structured, loving, and safe environment for my pets, which includes two large-breed dogs—a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso—and two cats. I focus on consistent routines, daily exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. My pets are well-socialized, receive proper nutrition, and are always kept clean, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s going on long walks, engaging in playtime, or simply giving them the attention they need, I treat each animal with the respect and care they deserve. My experience with a variety of temperaments and needs allows me to confidently and responsibly care for others’ pets with the same level of dedication.
About: Luckily since I have grown up in a family who loved pets I have been around all sorts of animals since I was young. Currently I have taken care of many dogs and cats. From helping with the care of elder pets to training for younger ones I have experience that will make you and most importantly your pet comfortable and feel at home. Currently my schedule is mostly open on most days. I work from home so this allows me to be able to keep an eye on pets too. I provide attentive and personalized pet care in my clients' homes and on walks, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and well-cared for in their familiar environment. Whether it’s following their routine, providing playtime, administering medication, or giving extra affection, I tailor my care to their specific needs. On walks, I make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, exploration, and training reinforcement. I also take my own dog to the local dog park regularly, so I’m experienced in managing social interactions and creating safe, enjoyable experiences for dogs of all energy levels.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I just love their unique personalities and I am passionate about their behavior and why they do the things they do. I am skilled in giving oral medication and trimming nails. I am currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups and kitties! I am available after 2 PM on Monday, Tuesday and Sunday. I have more flexibility on Wednesday through Saturday. I have a fenced yard and room for your pet to run off their energy. I live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with great neighbors.

“Kelly was great with our dog Bear! She was communicative throughout the whole process and put our minds at ease while we were away by sending pictures and video. Her dog was an added bonus since Bear doesn’t get too much exposure to friends. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Our doggo had a great time and sierra was an amazing sitter. Our pomsky started to shed before her stay and sierra took the time to brush her out for us bless her heart. We couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind we get leaving our fur baby with such great people. We would re book with them for as long as they’ll let us!”
“I am new to Rover and was very anxious about leaving my dog with somebody. Crystal was amazing. She is super communicative and sent me pictures throughout the time my dog was with her. My dog had such a fin time with her and her family! Will 100% be booking Crystal again in the future. Thank you again!”
“Tona and Wanda (the Girls) spent a week with Alena. We enjoyed seeing the pictures and notes Alena sent. The Girls were in great shape when we took them home. And Alena went out of her way to help with getting the Girl's crate ready to travel. We highly recommend Alena when you need to board your pups.”
“Charlette was a dream come true!!! She was very communicative during the entirety of our dog’s stay. Our pups really enjoyed being with her and were very well taken care of. They went on walks and played a ton! We are looking forward to booking again.”

“Rizzo had a better vacation than we did staying with Lindsey! She had so much fun playing at the farm running around with Genny and getting lots of exercise! Lindsey provided daily updates with photo’s throughout the week showing how much fun they were having. Rizzo can’t wait for her next vacation with Lindsey and her family!”

Mindy sent many pictures and kept me updated , she clearly is very knowledgeable about animals, and chichi was well taken care off - I will absolutely book with Mindy again!!”
“Michelle cared for my Louie and Louie and I were so grateful. She sent many pix throughout his stay and walked him when possible(weather permitting). Most appreciated was that Michelle was able to accommodate us when Delta canceled our flight home and Michelle kept Louie for an additional day. Would recommend her highly and will use her again”
“Denae and Mark were absolute angels! They are such nice people! I felt that my crazy, young pittie was in great hands! Zero felt right at home during the first meet and greet and that made leaving her there for a long weekend less anxiety-inducing for both me and her as she is a bit of an anxious dog. They made her feel so comfortable! I will definitely be booking with them again and would recommend them for anyone! Lots of pictures and great communication! Thank you Mark and Denae!”
“Monica watched my dog Koda for the day. I got sent pictures and updates, and it was very obvious that Koda had a great time! 10 out of 10 would recommend her for pet sitting!”
“Raisa took wonderful care of our dog, Bonita! We could tell Bonita had a fun and comfortable stay, and she almost did not want to leave. Raisa went above and beyond by giving Bonita extra home-cooked dog food and comforting her during loud noises and thunderstorms. Bonita also loved spending time with her daughter and husband too. We are so thankful for the love and care Raisa and her family gave Bonita. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Jin was wonderful!! She took in both our girls. We have two Rottweilers, both over 100 lbs. they loved Jin, and made themselves right at home at her house. She sent daily pics, and updates on how they were doing. Will definitely be booking Jin again.”
“Leah was great and communicated very well. She did an awesome job wearing out my dog over the weekend. She was very accommodating even with such short notice. Would highly recommend.”
“Anthony did a great job taking care of my pup. She can be shy and fearful in new situations and Anthony did a great job to keep her calm and comfortable. She enjoyed playing with his dogs, Yoki and Canelo. I enjoyed receiving updates and pictures of my pup while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Anthony is calm, reliable and welcoming. I plan to use his services again when I need them.”
“Nichole took such good care of our dog, Juniper! She was so well cared for and enjoyed playing with Nichole's dog. Nichole sent lots of pictures and updates and even went as far as to clean her ears when she saw they were irritated. We could not recommend her more!”
