About: I have years of hands‑on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including shy pets, seniors, kittens, and pets with special routines. I currently have no pets in my home, which allows me to offer a calm, quiet environment that many cats prefer, especially anxious or sensitive ones. I’m detail‑oriented, gentle, and patient, and I follow feeding schedules, litter preferences, and medication instructions closely. I’m also comfortable with slow‑to‑warm‑up cats and pets who need extra reassurance. For cat boarding, I provide a peaceful, pet‑free home with cozy resting spots and a clean setup. Most owners bring their cat’s own litter box, litter, food, and carrier, but I also keep a clean backup litter box and extra litter available if needed. Whether I’m boarding cats or caring for pets in your home, I send consistent photo updates and follow your routines exactly so your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable.
About: I have experience caring for pets in my own home, particularly cats, and I'm comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning, playtime, and giving pets attention and companionship. My professional experience working with children has also taught me to be patient, responsible, attentive to routines, and dependable when caring for someone else's loved ones. I'm new to providing pet care through Rover, but I'm excited to build experience and provide reliable, attentive care for each pet and follow their owner's instructions carefully.
About: I have many years of experience caring for cats. I have my own cats and have cared for many others in our neighborhood. I am comfortable with all duties including: administering medication, caring for kittens/senior cats. I am happy to play with cats or snuggle on the couch - whatever your requirements may be.
“Danielle is truly one of a kind, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We are very selective about who we trust to care for our cats, and from the moment we met her, we knew they were in the best hands. She gave us complete peace of mind while we were away, which is something that’s priceless as pet parents. Her communication is exceptional. Every update was thoughtful, detailed, and reassuring, and it was so clear how much she genuinely cared about our cats. She didn’t just stop at feeding and checking on them—she spent quality time with them, paid attention to their individual personalities and needs, and went above and beyond to make sure they felt safe, loved, and comfortable. Danielle also took wonderful care of our home, paying attention to every little detail and treating everything with the same care and respect she showed our pets. It’s rare to find someone so dependable, attentive, and genuinely compassionate. We can honestly say Danielle will be our forever pet sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust her with any of our fur babies, and we recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone truly exceptional. She is an absolute gem, and we are beyond grateful to have found her. Thank you, Danielle, for taking such incredible care of our family. 🐾❤️”
About: 🐱Cats have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. My love for them started back in middle school, where I routinely cared for and fed neighborhood strays, and later spent time volunteering at a local cat rescue center. Through those early years, I learned to read feline body language, understand their subtle cues, and respect their unique boundaries. Over the years, my hands-on cat sitting experience expanded significantly: 🏠I lived with two resident cats during college who quickly became my close friends. I regularly pet-sat them during my roommate’s work trips and vacations. Since then, I’ve routinely provided short- and long-term care (ranging from single weeks up to a full month during the pandemic) for friends’ and family’s cats. 🫶I know that new environments can be overwhelming for cats. I specialize in slow, gentle introductions and proper isolation protocols to help new guests feel safe, calm, and secure at their own pace before exploring. 🏝️Our home is equipped with cat trees, cozy hideaways, and a variety of toys to keep them entertained and comfortable throughout their stay. Whether your cat is a high-energy player or a shy cuddler, I treat every feline guest with the patience, warmth, and individualized care they deserve!
About: I have been pet sitting since I was a kid. I have 20+ years of experience pet and house sitting. I worked at a kennel boarding dogs and cats, worked at a horse rescue, a pet store and I was a groomer. I can administer medication as well as deliver insulin. I have experience with senior cats as well as kittens. I love all animals and have taken care of many different kinds of pets including hedgehogs, lizards, snakes, rabbits and many more. I love to go above and beyond for my clients, I have even thrown a dog birthday party when the owner realized she was out of town on the day!
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats in my own home and for family members. I understand that cats need patience and a calm approach, and I always respect their space and routine. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and gentle attention so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I also enjoy playing with cats who like interacting with their toys and giving them attention based on their personality and comfort level.
About: I'm comfortable caring for cats with all kinds of personalities, from social and playful to shy and independent and have been caring for cats since I was 12. I understand cats often need patience and space to feel comfortable, so I follow their routine and let them warm up at their own pace. I'm happy to handle feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, brushing, medication instructions, and plenty of attention when they want it. My goal is to keep your cat feelings safe, relaxed and cared for while you're away.
About: I have been caring for cats my entire life, having grown up in a home where they were always part of my family. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of their behavior, health needs, and daily care routines.

About: I’m Breanna, and I’ve been a lifelong dog lover with over two decades of hands-on experience. My home is a hub for happy pups—not only do I have years of personal experience, but I also regularly pet-sit for family and have assisted professional sitters on their weekly routes. Our sweet girl, Nova is a great companion for dogs who prefer their own space. She isn't an 'in-your-face' player; instead, she’s a calm observer who tolerates guest pups well. She takes a few minutes to warm up to new friends, so we prioritize slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone feels relaxed. She’s the perfect match for a guest dog who just wants a quiet place to hang out. Safety is my top priority—not just for your pups, but for my household too. For that reason, my husband, Isaac, will sometimes join me for off-site visits and walks. We’ve found that this team-based approach works wonders for staying organized and keeping the dogs happy and supervised at all times! I’m comfortable with all types of schedules and am happy to provide the same level of care and attention I give my own pets. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! Full-Time Care at Home: Both my husband and I work from home during the week with very flexible schedules, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. We are able to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout the work week. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or just a quiet place to nap near us while we work, we can easily accommodate their routine. Weekend & Personal Schedule: We are available for care seven days a week, with a few set windows for our religious services: • Saturday Mornings: We participate in our ministry work, but are available for the rest of the day and evening. • Sundays: We attend our Christian meetings, but we are fully free outside of those service times to provide care and attention. During these short windows, dogs are safely secured in our home, and we are back quickly to resume our normal routine of play and supervision. Safety & Trust: With over 20 years of dog ownership and experience assisting a professional pet sitter, safety is my primary focus. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs a structured environment to feel secure. • Supervised Introductions: Because my dog, Nova, is polite but independent, I always conduct slow, leashed introductions in a neutral area to ensure all pets feel respected and safe. • Constant Supervision: Since my husband and I both work from home, guest dogs are never left unattended for long periods. • Double-Team Care: Having two adults in the home means there is always a 'backup' to help with leashing, feeding, or managing different energy levels between dogs. Our Environment: We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood in Anna. Our home is set up to be a peaceful retreat for your pet. • Fenced Yard: We have a secure, fenced-in backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. • Pet-Friendly Layout: Dogs are welcome in our main living areas. We have plenty of space for crates if your dog prefers their own 'den' for sleeping, or cozy spots for them to lounge near us while we work. • Clean & Secure: We maintain a tidy home (no small objects or hazards left out) and prioritize a calm atmosphere, which is ideal for dogs who might be nervous in a new environment.

I live in a cozy townhome with a fully fenced yard, perfect for safe playtime and fresh air. It’s a calm, pet-friendly space where dogs feel at home.

“Damon and Danyale were amazing when I needed a last minute day sitter when our original sitter was not available. I’ve been needed to find a back up one close to home and definitely will be using again when needed. Damon sent many photos throughout the 2 days he was there. Highly recommend.”
“Took great care of my girl! I was attending my sons college graduation and she started having stomach issues, Syncere was so patient with her and took care of her like she was his own.”
“I was very nervous. We have never used this site before nor have we ever left Daisy in someone else’s care. After the doggy daycare and speaking with Tiffany, I felt better. Tiffany, took care of Daisy as if she was hers. Thank you Tiffany. See you soon”
“Our pets are everything to us and I am delighted to say that my darling puppy has found the best dog sitter. Shalini and her family love her as much as I do. She is safe and pampered at their home. I am so happy that I can trust them with her without any worry. They are THE BEST!”
About: I have 2 dogs, 2 cats. And several fosters through the year. So I run a small pack here. I am very experienced with managing multiple pets at a time. I work from home. A cat sleeps on my desk. And one or two dogs will sleep under it. I work from home. I begin the day by feeding the pack. Followed by vacuuming the mountains of fur. Followed by some morning calls. Then a walk if the weather is nice. And another one in the evening. Then move on to dinner, and bed time. Dogs usually sleep on or near the bed depending on the dog. The cats will do their cat thing. When a new pet comes into the home for boarding, I keep a close eye on things. I make sure to give them some time to decompress alone if needed. And then I introduce them to the pack. I keep a close eye on food and toys as they can sometimes lead to arguments. If I step out I may lock them up. Until I am comfortable that they will be ok unsupervised.
“Joan and her family are really great. They have taken care of Caesar our 7 Months old Puppy in an awesome way. Joan, her husband Scott, and their son have been super cool and flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. They are our goto team Hands Down!”
About: My experience comes from caring for the sweetest Pekingese for 15 years. I had her since she was 9 weeks old. She unfortunately has recently passed but it was my greatest honor to care for her. As of March 2026 and Oct 2026, I now have 2 new puppies that I have opened my heart to. I have also had the privilege to help watch several family member and friend's dogs over the years. My fiancé and I both work from home so we will be in the house all day during the work week to have a good eye on your pet. Since we have the privilege to work from home full time, your pup will always have someone here to watch them and give them all the love they deserve. We do have a fenced in yard as well.
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, so it's safe to say pets have been part of my life for almost as long as I can remember. Over the years I've taken care of up to 4 dogs at once, which taught me how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and needs all at the same time, from feeding schedules to playtime to just making sure everyone gets along. I'm comfortable with dogs of any size, breed, or temperament, whether that's a high-energy puppy who needs constant engagement, or a laid-back senior who just wants company on the couch. I treat every dog like it's my own: plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, and I'd love to bring that same care to your pup! I'm currently a College Student with a part time job at the college. But I can be flexible if given notice ahead of time Your dog's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I make sure to dog-proof the space beforehand, making that anything that could be a choking hazard is removed, keeping food and trash out of reach, and double checking that gates, doors, and yard fencing are secure before any off-leash time. I never leave dogs unsupervised in unfamiliar situations, and I always ask owners about specific triggers, allergies, or routines beforehand so I can keep things as close to normal as possible. I'm attentive to body language and know when a dog needs space, a break, or just some quiet time. I'm comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication routines, or house rules exactly as instructed, and I always communicate with updates and photos so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. In my home we’ve never had less than 2 dogs at any given time. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 first starting with my neighbors and then family friends. In recent years I’ve trained my dog Izadora since she was a puppy. I love playing with dogs big or small rough or calm I love dogs. As a student my availability is often more open on weekends but quite flexible during the week. I have classes during the morning but have multiple gaps within the day. During the summer and during winter breaks my availability is almost entirely open. In my home our dogs are very integrated into our lives, we allow dogs on the couch and beds but we have clear drawn boundaries. They know not to jump or beg for food but will always come to the sound of a crinkle just in case. They respect us and our personal space as well and when they are either too rough or too loving we redirect their energy to a toy or another dog.

About: Proud dog mom & experienced pet sitter! 🐾 I’m a proud dog mom to an amazing 4-year-old rescue who I’ve had since she was just 3 months old, so I know the ins and outs of both puppies and adult dogs! I also help care for my family’s German Shepherd whenever I’m back home in Indiana. I work from home and travel for work, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust to care for your pets when life gets busy. I’m attentive, reliable, and will treat your pets like they’re my own — whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company. I’d love to meet your pup and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I work remote 4 out of the 5 days of the week, so I have free time within the day to run out of the house and help others out! I know how dogs can be, so I always make sure fences/gates/doors are closed and your pets have a safe space to go out or walk!

“Melissa was great with our dog- Rio during the week he stayed with her and her family. She gave daily updates and sent us pictures of Rio. Highly recommend her for your furry friend!”
“Great sitter! He and his wife took great care of our large crazy dog. We got multiple updates with pictures, and she got to play in their large backyard. Will definitely use again next time we are in the area.”
“We left our fur baby, Tobey, with Deepa for a few days, and her entire family took incredible care of him. From the moment we met them, I felt completely at ease leaving him behind. Their home is incredibly welcoming and perfectly equipped for a safe stay, complete with a great fenced backyard. Deepa was thorough, she asked all about Tobey's routine and preferences, and tried to replicate his feeding schedule, potty breaks, and walks to give him that comforting, home like environment. She also kept my anxiety at bay by sending regular updates, photos, and videos throughout his stay. Deepa is professional, highly responsive, and a genuinely loving caregiver. Tobey came home happy and completely relaxed. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend Deepa to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!”

I loved getting regular updates with photos from Sara every morning. Sara is very kind, sweet, and was fast-communicating. I will definitely use Sara’s services again.”
“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we were quite apprehensive about leaving our sweet dog Anu with strangers. However, the moment we met Keyuana, we knew she would be the perfect choice for us. She welcomed us into her lovely home, asked all the right questions regarding our dog, patiently listened to our long list of questions, and understood all our concerns. Anu stayed with Keyuana for 3 weeks while we were traveling. During this time, we received daily updates from her regarding Anu’s routine, as well as some adorable pictures of Anu looking right at home. Needless to say, Keyuana will be our go-to person if we ever need to board Anu again in the future!”
“Erin & Gary are amazing. They took Sasuke in last minute and they took great care of him. I loved receiving all the pictures from his stay. He looked so comfortable, happy and well loved. That’s important to me. I’ll definitely book with them again.”

“Christopher took great care of our dog, Fable, and kept us updated with messages and videos. Fable came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We would gladly book with Christopher again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Manny had such an amazing time - he was clearly very welcomed and treated like family. Chris, Linda and their son were so enthusiastic to have Manny in the home and let him into bed, let him play by the pool, wade in the water, and even gave Manny his favorite activity: chasing hose water. Their pup is clearly very easy-going because he and Manny became fast friends. This is one of the few times we felt completely at ease while out of town knowing Manny was in their care.”

“**Rachel and her family took amazing care of our puppy and treated her like she was part of their family. They even took the time to work with her on leash walking, which we really appreciated. We received updates throughout her stay, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Thank you again for everything! We would 100% book with Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.**”

And with her dog Turk, she helped him come out of his shell. He is completely relaxed at her place. This is amazing. He rarely get relaxed anywhere but home. We will always use Nikki”

Alpana also has a very sweet dog, weWe didn't bring enough food, Alpana bought dog food for Nikki. All Alpana has done more than our expectation, we are so grateful and thankful to have Alpana watching Nikki, and will bring Nikki back to Alpana's watch again!”
