“Alex is so awesome! My cat is skeptical of most humans and can be quite feisty, but Alex was SO good with her from the first time they met. She was responsive to my cat's needs and didn't make her nervous or overwhelmed. She was great at administering meds and I felt so much more comfortable leaving for a week when I knew Alex was dropping in every day and checking on my cat - and my house! She's a true animal lover and even sent me photo updates of the bird nests on my front and back porches! I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to everyone!”
“Single handedly made me a repeat user here on Rover. Super flexible, communicates consistently, and great with care. Our cats normally don’t leave the bedroom with new people but loved spending time with her. 10/10”
“Very pleased with the care that James gave my dog! He showed up on time, followed everything I asked, and made the whole experience stress-free. It really put me at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely use him again!”
“Frances took wonderful care of our pets! Despite my own lack of organization on day one, she still came by to make sure they were taken care of. I’m so thankful for her flexibility, reliability, and kindness. We truly appreciate her!”
About: Hi friends and family! My name is Gaby and I’m 20 years old. I devote my life to making your fur babies happy. I love all dogs and your fur baby will be treated like family ❤️. I’ll follow their routine, shower them with playtime, and send you daily updates & pics 🐾📸. Guaranteed to make you and your pup smile 😊. Dogs have always and will forever hold a special place in my heart. I was a mommy to my own 2 fur babies that I took in for a family member for 4 years. I have raised litters of puppies multiple times all by myself. Growing up I would take care of my friend’s fur babies at no cost because it meant I would get free cuddles and a best friend all in one. I’m a full time pet caregiver. I’m very flexible with time since I am home 24/7. I will accommodate my time to match your pets needs. Follow their routine (feeding, playtime, potty breaks) Give 'em love & attention 🐾❤️ Keep their space clean & comfy Watch for any health concerns (energy levels, appetite) Update clients regularly 📸 Be very attentive, responsive, and patient. 📍DISCLAIMER 📍 ***Please make sure all pets vaccinations are up to date and treated for tics/fleas. 🚫🪳***
“Felicia is the best! She took care of (& spoiled) our 3 kitties like they were her own. She sent lots of pictures & let me know how each one was doing daily. It took Felicia several visits to gain my scaredy cat's trust, but she did it. I'm so thankful we found her!”
About: As a certified cat care specialist, I take pride in understanding and catering to each feline's unique personality. I have experience fostering shy and anxious cats and know how to build trust with even the most timid ones. My time are tailored to your cat's needs, whether that's play, gentle brushing, or simply providing a calm, comforting presence. I am very detail-oriented and will follow your routine closely to ensure your cat feels safe and relaxed while you're away.
About: I have had dogs all of my life since I was 4 years old. I didnt start to take up the responsibility to take care of them until I was about 7 or 8 years old. I have had a range of dog breeds and sizes in my care from a golden retriever to a toy Aussie. I love take care, play and just hang out with animals. I currently work as a middle school teacher so my summers are pretty free! Whether it’s a one day check in or a vacation, I will happily spend my summer with your pups! During the school year, I am limited to weekends only but would still love to spend my weekends with your pets! I will follow whatever needs you have for your dog(s) whether I have to house sit, walk, or just hang out with your animal for the day. I want to make sure you are comfortable with the care I give them.
About: I’m a caring and attentive cat sitter who truly loves cats. I understand that every kitty has a unique personality, and I enjoy taking the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable. Whether it’s playtime, quiet companionship, or keeping things tidy and on schedule, I provide a calm, loving environment while you’re away. With reliable communication and genuine affection for cats, I’ll make sure your feline friend feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I've taken care of all breeds of animals for majority of my life. I love all animals and would love to get the chance to love and care for yours as i do my own! I currently work Monday-Saturday 3-5 hours daily. Im available to care for your furbaby at your place of residence & would love the chance to care for your baby while you enjoy time away! I have a big yard (unfenced) and playful Goldendoodles (1 year old & 2 years old) for your furbaby to enjoy! We love going on walks and fun-time at the dog park.
About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.
About: I love any animal and always welcome any fur baby, temporary or permanent you can trust that your pet is in good hands! I have many years experience taking care of kittens, puppies, cats, dogs, horses, goats, birds, even reptiles. I actually had a Russian Tortoise as a pet for over 17 years....the only pet I couldn't really tolerate would be a Tarantula...never been to fond of the spiders. Snakes are on a fine line as well, if necessary i will care for a snake but its not a personal favorite i guess you can say. I always wanted to become a Veterinarian growing up as a child but instead i started a family at the age of 20...I now am the proud mama of 3 boys, 4 dogs, 3 cats, 1 new kitten and a fish!!!!!!

If you’re uncertain about who to choose on Rover, look no further than this wonderful young woman! Her home was the perfect environment for my cat, both clean and cozy. She was quick to respond to my inquiries and texts, with a joy I could literally feel coming from her kind heart. Bless you Chloe”

“Anna was great taking care of our dog Mila, she informed us how it was going and even though it was Mila's first experience and she was nervous, Anna knew how to handle the situation. I definitely recommend Anna.”
“Madison was absolutely amazing with Ela! Ela is naturally nervous and shy at first, but Madison was so patient with her, and her sweet dog, Maggie, really helped Ela come out of her shell and make a new friend. It meant so much knowing Ela was comfortable and having fun while we were away. Madison kept us updated regularly with messages and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also accepted our reservation last minute, and we're incredibly grateful for how flexible and accommodating she was throughout the entire stay. She was so friendly, caring, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. I couldn't recommend Madison more, and we will absolutely be booking with her again”

About: I currently have four dogs: two seven-year-old Cane Corsos, a rescued American Bully (estimated 10+ years old), and an eight-year-old retired Catahoula who, since his retirement, is more interested in my wife and food than anything else. I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and I’ve also handled canines in professional and official capacities. I often find myself the go-to person for friends and family when they have dog care questions. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds, including cats. I will care for your pets like they are my own. As a former police officer and certified firefighter, I bring an added level of safety and attention to every stay. Your pet’s well-being is my priority, but I also ensure your home is secure and small details, such as things others might overlook, are taken care of 110 percent. I can administer medications, handle pets with special needs, and provide a level of care and service above what’s typical, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I can also handle deliveries that require signatures, escort service technicians or other personnel during appointments, and attend to anything else that may arise at your home while you’re away — providing a truly comprehensive level of service.

We highly recommend her and will using her again in the future.”
