Leo had a great stay, and we would definitely trust Jennifer to take care of him again. Highly recommend!”

“Amanda is awesome. She kept me updated on Lola, sent videos and pictures throughout her stay, and took her on walks. My Lola is very high anxiety and Amanda went out of her way to make sure she was comfortable. She is very loving and patient and even extended Lola’s stay no problem when I last minute found out I’d be out of town an extra day. I will definitely be using Amanda again.

About: I’m one of those people who if I won the lottery I’d buy a giant property so I could extend my love for animals even more! Friends and family often choose me to take care of their fur babies because I treat them like my own with lots of love and care. I can care for any age and size pup, and I have a knack for the seniors and/or those requiring special medical care due to their age or certain circumstances. Don’t be surprised if I watch your fur baby and send you some fancy pics of them because I’m a nerd for photography too! Please note: For house sitting, I have my senior pup that would need to accompany me. If you’re open to that and your dog(s) get along with small dogs, then we can set up a meet and greet. I work from home and I’m a home body in general so having pups over work well as I can give them lots of attention and care. I have a fenced yard and a friendly lovable pup of my own to keep your fur baby company and play with. I let the pups come in and out of the home as much as they need to get potty breaks and sunshine. My home is very dog friendly with various toys to play with, I also have a dog stroller for small senior pups that may need fresh air but not strain their little bodies too much. I can also go on long walks for the pups that have extra energy too!

Have basic care and medical knowledge for dogs, cats, and most pets.

About: I love animals, but dogs just have my heart. I have had many pet dogs in my life. One whom was born sick; she had a sever type of mange and i had to give medication daily and bathe frequently. That was never a problem to me. I currently have two fur babies, one that i found on the street that someone had thrown and one that i adopted. My fur baby that was found on the street has a problem with his hips and I try my best to keep him comfortable. ALL animals are beautiful! Hello Fur Parents! Need someone to have a companion the whole time you’re gone ? I got it, i’m always home! I am a full time momma trying to make a little extra cash to help my husband. Before staying home, I was in the Medical Field as a CNA/Phlebotomist but left that behind to stay home with my newborn baby! My husband is off (Fri. - Sun.) so he helps me on weekends which are my busiest. We’re a team! I have a home that has a backyard that is securely fenced and is pretty specious for your babies to burn all that energy out. I also have two of my own fur babies who are the most loving and playful that have what feels like a million toys who are waiting to be shared with.
About: Hi! My name is Katia, I am new to the rover app:)caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for almost a decade. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 18, and now at 27, I have years of experience understanding the different personalities, routines, and needs that make every dog unique. I’m also a proud dog mom to Apollo, my German Shepherd who has been by my side since high school, and Sierra, my sweet mixed breed rescue. Rescuing Sierra has made me especially passionate about giving dogs a safe, patient, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care currently fits very easily into my daily and weekly routine because I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m currently between jobs, so I’m able to dedicate a significant amount of time and attention to caring for my clients’ pets. This allows me to be flexible with drop-ins, walks, house sitting, and different schedules depending on each pet’s needs. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, especially when they are in their own home. Since my dogs do not do well around unfamiliar animals, I will provide care exclusively in my client’s home, which also allows your pet to stay in the environment they already know and feel comfortable in. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and preferences so I can keep their care as consistent as possible. I’m very attentive to doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, medications if needed, and anything else that helps keep your pet safe.

“Kelsey took amazing care of my two dogs and was very communicative and friendly! She came by to meet them before the first visit and I immediately knew they were going to be in great hands. Highly recommend her to love on your fur babies!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently have three of my own at home. My grandma breeds dogs, so I’ve had a lot of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I also pet sat for many families throughout high school and cared for different breeds and personalities. I truly love being around animals and treat every dog like my own. As a college student, I’m looking for a fun and reliable way to spend time with dogs while helping owners feel confident their pets are in great hands. I am currently just a full time college student so I have plenty of time to care and spend time with pets. I often only have classes 2 times a week so my other days are perfect for spending time caring for your pets needs! I have 3 pets at home that I feed, walk, and play with, so I am very used to spending lots of times with dogs!
About: Growing up with dogs—from my childhood Yellow Lab, Chili, to my German Shepherd, Jaylee—instilled in me a lifelong love and deep respect for pets. I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends for years, handling everything from daily walks to overnight care. As a college student, caring for dogs isn't just a side job for me; it’s something I truly enjoy. I take pride in providing a safe, attentive, and fun environment where your pup feels right at home. As a biochemistry major with a double minor in math and biology, I’m used to staying organized and focused. I intentionally manage my workload so I never take on pet care unless I can give your dog the full time and attention they deserve. My busiest day is Thursday during my lab, but because most of my coursework is online, I’m home study-buddy style with your pets during the week. Plus, I keep my Saturdays completely free for fun trips to the park or Starbucks pup cup runs! When caring for your pet in your home, trust and safety are my top priorities. I treat every home with respect and ensure your pet is kept supervised and out of harm’s way by keeping all hazardous items completely out of reach. I also believe that clear communication brings peace of mind, so I send frequent updates and photos throughout the visit to keep you connected with your pet every step of the way!
About: I’m a lifelong pet lover with hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities and needs. During college, I volunteered for four years at a cat sanctuary, where I helped with daily feeding routines, administering medications, monitoring health, and socializing them to prepare for adoption. Whether your pet needs playtime, meds, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. I’m currently spending most of my time studying for med school applications, so I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around feedings, check-ins, and quality time. I’m very used to sticking to routines and making sure pets get consistent, reliable care. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining a familiar environment by providing timely feedings, fresh water, medication as needed, litter box maintenance, and attentive observation of behavior or health changes. I also make sure pets receive appropriate playtime, enrichment, and calm companionship. My experience volunteering at a cat sanctuary has taught me to be patient, detail-oriented, and responsive to each pet’s individual needs.
About: I currently have a Masters degree and work from home full time. I am finishing up another Bachelors degree in Animal Science Pre Vet. I have raised four dogs from puppies over the last 15 years. My first two passed from cancer. I currently have two fur babies that are my everything. I have many years of experience in handling and caring for major medical issues with dogs and cats. I work remotely from home so my schedule is extremely flexible. I can accommodate others schedules pretty easily. My two dogs are with me all day, every day. They get all of the love and attention that they could possibly want and then some. 🙂 I have a large yard with a privacy fence for them to run and play in. I will stick to your desired schedule for your pets and all of their needs. I am able to accommodate whatever need or desire you have for your pet care. I am going to love and care for your fur babies just like I do my own.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I have owned all shapes and sizes. I currently have a whippit-pitbull mix who is my child. I know how precious pets are to a family and offer the same care I would offer to a person. I love going to shelters to play with the dogs and give them love. If I could adopt every dog in the world I would, until them I will give them love and care while their parents are away. I work full-time during the week, but I am 100% free to stop in on weekend and holidays and walk or love on the dog. My schedule is a little tight Monday through Friday as I have my own baby to get home, but I am happy to stop in after work. I do not offer services in my home as I live with roommates who also have a dog. I am more than willing to do stop in visits in the dogs home.

“Jordyn and her family watched my dog in their home while I went away for a wedding—I got lots of updates and photos and my dog had a great time! Would recommend to anyone who needed a dogsitter.”
“10/10 would do again. I was worried about leaving my Dane with a sitter but he quickly put me at ease and updated us everyday with photos and videos. Will be using Christian again!!!”
“I was nervous leaving my dog with a sitter because I had never left him with anybody before and wasn’t sure how his behavior would be. Shawna did a fantastic job keeping him for me. He was with her for four nights and she sent me photos and updates on how he was doing. I never had to worry about him because I knew he was safe and taken care of. I highly recommend Shawna and will be a repeat customer when needed!”
“Jillian is the BEST cat-sitter we’ve ever had. My cats love her, she sends me updates daily (sometimes multiple times a day, it can never be too much), and she takes care of them so well. The first time I used Jillian’s services, my girl cat was prescribed a big capsule that other sitters struggled with giving her, and one sitter wouldn’t even try to give it to her. Jillian did so well with giving her the big capsule, and she was able to give her the smaller pill she was prescribed later too. Jillian is very friendly and easy to communicate with and reach when needed. She’s also very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I used her services twice but wish I had found her earlier so she could’ve cat sat more. I highly recommend her! She will take great care of your pets.”
“I absolutely loved my experience. Not only was the communication constant,open but I also enjoyed the many pictures updates that I got of my baby the entire time. It was so nice knowing thaty girl was safe and spoiled the whole time! thank you so much.10/10 definitely would recommend”
