We highly recommend Judith as a sitter. She sends daily pics and updates that keep you connected to your pet! Again, Judith is WONDERFUL, and you will be glad you chose her!”

“Brooke was AMAZING! This was our first time using Rover and we were very apprehensive. She immediately put me at ease!

Thanks Sarah!”

Thank you Kathryn and family for loving on our pup! We will be sure to book with Kathryn again!”
“Salene did an amazing job with our pup! This was her first time being away from home so we were a little nervous cause she can be a little crazy puppy!

Highly recommended and will be using her again in the future!”

Right off the bat, when I first met him, I got a great first impression and Sasuke took kindly to him (which is always a plus)….He was warm and friendly and was great with my pup. He made us both feel comfortable. During Sasuke’s stay, Juan sent me photos of my baby having fun, which was really nice. Definitely booking again.”

“Maria was amazing!! I was anxious about leaving my two kitties for the weekend because they’re 9month old crazy teenage kitties but Maria took such amazing care of them that after her first visit I knew they were in great hands. She was calm and loving to them and treated my house with extreme respect. I have already booked her again for another weekend and wish I could give her more than 5 stars.”
About: Since I was a child I’ve always been around animals, big dogs to be exact. I’ve grown to learn how to watch them, wait on them, and treat them. In my family we’ve always treated pets as if they were your own children. So to me, it’s important to pass on that same respect to animals as I would to any other human being. I’ve learned to bath them, especially tiny and big dogs, although not in a professional setting, I probably have more fun than I should doing so. I’ve learned what to do and what not to do in regards of different breeds, meeting different types of people and actually following the preferences told by owners I’ve encountered. I am not a professional dog whisperer, but I will be very sure to treat your fur babies as one of my own at any time, anywhere. Pets are fun, and I have a real soft spot for the ones who need special attention. I am very close to a family who has had three beautiful great pyrenees mixes, all who have passed away during my 23 years of life, and I have experienced the life process. I’ve seen the over hyperactive puppy, the whines, the potty issues, the illnesses, and the aging process. I’ve seen the vulnerability of old bones, the struggle to climb steps they use to dash up on and I’ve felt pain of a ended life brought joy. Dogs, cats, and all pets included are very smart animals, they are very emotionally intelligent and being around them gives me a good mental boost! You can trust that I will take care of your fur Family. I’m currently studying for my LSATs so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of pets! I honestly may need this more than you know. Animals lighten my mood, give me a sense of peace and get me active, and due to that I’m so available! I have a fenced yard, and I have a beautiful trail in my neighborhood, and there is a dog park also. I am super aware of the pavement to paw temperature just in case. I enjoy health as well, and will be serious of dietary needs for your pet. I have also fostered a cat and a bunny my sophomore and Junior year of college, so I’m very gentle, considerate and can deal with tantrums as well!
About: Trusted, caring, and experienced with over 20 years of caring for cats! I understand feline personalities and provide safe, loving, personalized care so your cat feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I treat every cat like family and provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Jane was absolutely wonderful! She treated our babies like they were her own. From coming out ahead of time to meet us and our babies, to sending us text and photo updates, we couldn't have been happier with her service. This was our first time to use a professional pet sitter and, of course, we were very nervous about it. Jane was very reassuring and kept in constant contact with us. We look forward to using her the next time we go out of town!”
“Robin was absolutely wonderful! Prompt in response prior to booking, came over that night to meet us and the kitties, and was 100% reliable and communicative! Great photographer too! Have a cute collection of photos of our little fur babies! Would 100% recommend and book Robin!!!!”
About: I have lived with cats for my whole life and absolutely adore taking care of them! I am highly experienced in taking care of cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities! As a recent high school graduate, I have plenty of free time to care for your kitties! Boarding at my home and housesitting at yours is available throughout the summer. Your kitties will stay in my cozy and relaxing bedroom! Because my family has a few cats of our own, your kitties will stay in my room to prevent any issues with the other cats.
“This was my first time booking with Gabbi and she was great with our pups. She was able to come check on my two very energetic dogs (Jack Russell Terrier and Lab). She did an excellent job of keeping us updated during the drop-in and provided photos. Very sweet and would definitely book with her again in the future.”
About: I have 2 cats that could not be more different. One is a Siamese that is basically my Velcro kitty! She’s almost always glued to me and is the definition of a scaredy cat. My other cat is a tuxedo and he has ENERGY - he makes our house a ton of fun! I’ve had them both since they were kittens. What’s funny is that before we got them, I didn’t think I liked cats. They scared me with how unpredictable they can be, but that’s because I had never been around them! Once I owned one, I realized that they just each have their own personality that you have to learn! Now, I want a houseful of cats!
“Christian went above and beyond of taking care of Bella while we were away. He sent us photos and videos of our baby girl. He updated us everyday. We can tell Bella was happy. Thank you Christian”
“Estefania was wonderful. This was my first time using a dog sitter service and it was a great experience. She was attentive to my dog’s needs and was very accommodating. I will definitely be requesting Estefania for future trips.”
About: I have always loved animals from feeding, trying to talk to strays, to having animals of my own! I have always been the person to take the responsibility of all care of dogs mainly but I have experience with cats and even bunnies ! Sadly I don't get my dogs any more due to the family dogs passing away I gifted my baby girl to my mom I would love to see and take care of yours! Truly missing all 3 of mine ! Currently my schedule is open I am trying to get more time home with my daughter would love for it to be a regular thing ! Tell me how you take care of yours and I'll do the same!

About: Hi, Ive had the pleasure of taking care of dogs since the age of 13 yrs old. I'm a mom of 2 children and 2 fur babies who are highly loved within our home. We hope to see your fur baby around! I've worked with dogs from my childhood and have experience caring for new puppies, adults, and senior dogs. I also have experience training and administering medications as needed. I am available weekdays, weekends and holidays. If you need me, I am available to help. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of grass for potty breaks and playtime. I have a friendly Yorkiepoo and Toy Maltipoo who really enjoy playing with other dogs. If your dog loves to play, our pups will be happy to oblige, or they can take it easy on a comfy doggy bed or sofa. We take daily walks and weekends we go to the nearby dog parks to socialize. We have a large crate that is available for use if needed, so you don't have to worry about bringing it if your dog needs one. My children and I have teamed up to give your pup the best experience while staying with us weather it be day play or boarding. If you book with us and provide your phone number we can provide photo/text updates as will as short videos of playtime.

About: As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get their energy out. My family lives in a beautiful community with parks and walking paths that are perfect for additional exercise and outdoor adventures. My children are gentle, respectful, and love animals, creating a warm and welcoming environment for pets. While we don’t currently have pets of our own, I would love the opportunity to care for yours as if they were part of our family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, loved, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am home throughout the day, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy making sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, as well as a pet-friendly home with plenty of space to relax. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special instructions. My children are gentle and respectful around animals, creating a warm family environment where pets receive lots of attention and love. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have previous experience working at an animal lodging facility, experience caring for senior dogs, and experience administering medications when needed. As a former dog owner and current cat owner, I understand how important routines, patience, and personalized care are for pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am a stay at home mom of two girls on summer break. So I am looking to fill my extra time loving on your dogs. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. Whether your dog loves active play, long walks, backyard time, or just relaxing and cuddling, I adjust my care to make them feel comfortable and secure. I provide supervised outdoor time, neighborhood walks, play sessions, feeding according to your schedule, medication if needed, and lots of attention throughout the day.
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.
About: Animals have always been a part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally. Over the past 8 years, I’ve worked with pets of all kinds—playful pups, independent cats, curious bunnies, and even the occasional lizard. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a remote worker, I have the flexibility to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule allows me to plan visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. This means I can provide consistent, timely care and adjust to each pet’s specific needs—whether that’s a morning walk, a midday visit, or evening playtime. Being remote also allows me to stay nearby in case any last-minute needs come up. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, clean, and low-stress environment. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide—so they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar space. I make sure your home is respected and left just as I found it. If pets are staying in my home, they’ll have a cozy, quiet space with plenty of attention, play, and supervised care throughout the day. In both cases, I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve always grown up with animals in my home. My husband and I have been dog sitting through Rover since Covid and have loved every part of it.

We also love to play fetch in the yard and have lots of toys for pups to play with. To our returning families, welcome back! 💕 We took some time away after looking our baby boy, Jules, to a seizure. We miss him dearly, but Leo is ready to have fun with his friends again. Our house is not a home without paw prints. 🐾 We have no kids and we treat our dogs like our kids. Our house has a fenced in yard where we have pest control come out every 2 weeks to kill bugs like fleas and tics to keep our babies safe.

About: I have been a professional full time dog trainer for over 20 years. I opened my home to in-home boarding and day care a few years ago and absolutely love it. We treat all the animals that stay with us like they are part of our family until their loved ones come back! I send multiple updates a day, pictures and videos as well. I have many references I can offer you as well! It’s very rare that someone is not home with the animals. We spend our days going outside to play (weather permitting), and playing inside as well. The dogs are allowed to veg on the couch (if that’s allowed at their home!), and enjoy spending time with us! We have a 5 acre fenced yard. The dogs love it very much for running and playing. They are never outside unsupervised for any amount of time!

Walking, feeding, medicine, baths, etc. My parents recently got puppies that I helped raise from a month old! 💙 I work from home as a video marketer & work part time door dashing, which allows my schedule to be insanely flexible to help out with play time, walks, & drop by visits. 😎 I often help my elderly people bring their groceries all the way to the kitchen.

About: I am known as a dog whisper, I have been able to calm angry simply through a gentle hand. My chickens follow me around like the Pied Piper. I am retired, so their routine is my routine. I generally rise between 6am - 7am and begin dog walking. After they have been fed, I take care of the other pets. At this time I do not plan to offer boarding on my eight acre hobby farm. If I do, then dogs, horses, cattle, sheep, and goats will be accomodated.

As a former teacher and current reptile rescue board member, safety and organization are second nature to me. My daily life is a masterclass in routine, seamlessly managing my three happy-go-lucky dogs, a diverse personal reptile collection (from diurnal geckos to nocturnal snakes and tortoises), and a rotating cast of foster animals. Why this means peace of mind for your family: Meticulous Attention to Detail: Constantly adapting to the unique needs of foster animals has trained me to recognize subtle behavioral cues, respect boundaries, and strictly follow specific dietary or medication instructions. Species-Specific Routines: Whether it is maintaining precise temperature and lighting schedules for a sensitive reptile, providing relief to your kitty cat’s needs, or keeping a high-energy dog on a structured schedule, I understand that different species require different care rhythms. Safety First: From double-checking tank latches to managing dog interactions safely, I prioritize a secure, predictable environment. I bring this blend of structured efficiency, complex care routines, and loving interaction into your home so you can rest easy knowing your pets are thriving.
About: I've loved animals from a young age. It all started with black labs for duck hunting. I was a vet assistant and horseshoer for many years. I've had dozens of personal pets throughout my life, and am now looking to love on and help care for other people's furry friends. I am recently retired and need something to occupy my time and give me purpose. When thinking about what I'm passionate about, animals is what is first to come to mind. I am up early and start my day with a walk. I am home most everyday and have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your pets needs. I have a fenced, clean yard with a covered patio. Plenty of space to roam and run. There is a water hose for plenty of water available. I have a glass back door looking outside. I can bring them inside the house as needed.

About: Hello. I would love to have the opportunity to care for your fur baby. I myself have had animals all my life and have taken care of others since I was 12. I have always considered my pets an extension of my family so I know how important they are to you as well and you want to know they are well taken care of. They need love and affection just as we do. Would enjoy walking or just playing with them. I have many years taking care of others dogs, cats as well as other animals. I am an RN , when school goes back in session I wil be avail, all day til 3 and after 9pm. So let's get walking and playing.
About: Animals have always been a part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally. Over the past 8 years, I’ve worked with pets of all kinds—playful pups, independent cats, curious bunnies, and even the occasional lizard. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a remote worker, I have the flexibility to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule allows me to plan visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. This means I can provide consistent, timely care and adjust to each pet’s specific needs—whether that’s a morning walk, a midday visit, or evening playtime. Being remote also allows me to stay nearby in case any last-minute needs come up. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, clean, and low-stress environment. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide—so they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar space. I make sure your home is respected and left just as I found it. If pets are staying in my home, they’ll have a cozy, quiet space with plenty of attention, play, and supervised care throughout the day. In both cases, I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve had a chihuahua since I was a teenager. She’s just passed away in 2025 at the age of 18! She was truly my soul dog! Now, I have 2 cats, Clover (a Siamese) and Ash (a tuxedo). I love being their mom! I’m a careful pet owner (AKA I worry a LOT), so I will care for your babies the same that I do for my own! I’m currently looking for my next corporate role, so I’m available as often as you need me to check on your babies while you’re away! I have a fenced yard! I also am over-protective, so you can bet I will be overly cautious with your babies! I will treat them as if they were my own!
About: I love dogs! I have three of my own—if I could, I would have 300. I’ve been walking dogs and caring for animals for over 30 years, and my experience spans all ages, temperaments, and needs. I’ve done everything from bottle feeding puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, including administering medications and following special routines. I’m comfortable handling rambunctious, high-energy dogs who need structure, exercise, and patience, as well as shy or anxious pets who benefit from a calm, reassuring presence. My animal experience isn’t limited to dogs. I’ve also cared for horses and rabbits, so I understand the importance of species-specific care, safety, and attention to detail. I treat every animal as if they were my own, focusing on their comfort, routine, and well-being. Whether your pet needs lots of activity, extra medical attention, or quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to providing reliable, loving care you can trust. I’m a teacher, which means I have reliable availability in the evenings on weekdays. I’m also fully available during school holidays, long breaks, and throughout summer vacation. During those times, I have flexible daytime and extended availability to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. If you have a pet who needs consistent evening care during the school year or more frequent attention during breaks and summer, I’m happy to help and keep their routine as smooth as possible. When pets stay in my home, I focus on keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care needs. Dogs receive regular walks, playtime, and quiet rest, and I always prioritize comfort, especially for senior dogs or those with medical needs. I take introductions slowly when needed and make sure every pet feels secure and respected. My goal is for your pet to feel like part of the family while you’re away. Caring for Pets in Your Home When caring for pets in their own home, I respect both your space and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and household guidelines. I understand how important consistency is, especially for anxious pets, seniors, and medical cases. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I leave your home clean and cared for, and your pet happy, comfortable, and safe.

I offer in-home house sitting as well as dog walking, and I’m committed to keeping your routine consistent so your pets stay comfortable while you’re away. I believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and total peace of mind while your pets are in my care. While I do have a full-time job, I make sure my schedule is planned so that your pets always get the attention, exercise, and affection they need. If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d love to help take care of your furry family members! I currently work part time as a nanny. I have a very open schedule. If you give me plenty of time in advance, i can make almost any schedule fit. I have a fenced yard but I prefer walking dogs to give them some exercise. I allow pets on furniture and follow diet requirements as recommended.

“Andrew and his family were incredible. Duke had such a blast staying with them. We were in a pinch to find a place for Duke for a week and Andrew and his family delivered. They were great at communicating, providing photos of Duke during his stay, and providing him a fun experience while away from home. We will definitely be using Andrew again.”
“Christian went above and beyond of taking care of Bella while we were away. He sent us photos and videos of our baby girl. He updated us everyday. We can tell Bella was happy. Thank you Christian”

We highly recommend Judith as a sitter. She sends daily pics and updates that keep you connected to your pet! Again, Judith is WONDERFUL, and you will be glad you chose her!”
“Brooke was AMAZING! This was our first time using Rover and we were very apprehensive. She immediately put me at ease! She was so kind, sent updates/pictures/videos multiple times through the days, and loved my babies like they were her own. We will definitely be requesting her to puppysit for us again. 12 out of 10!!”
“Maple loved her stay with Kathryn! As a first time Rover client I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Kathryn made the booking process easy and put my mind at easy. During our time away Kathryn sent many pictures of our sweet pup having a great time with her and her family! This really helped my small children feel comfortable leaving their fur baby behind! Thank you Kathryn and family for loving on our pup! We will be sure to book with Kathryn again!”
“Lisa and David always take great care of Sadie! They are always on top of giving updates and Sadie loves spending time with them. I could not recommend them more!”
“Juan and his family were wonderful! They took excellent care of Sasuke. Right off the bat, when I first met him, I got a great first impression and Sasuke took kindly to him (which is always a plus)….He was warm and friendly and was great with my pup. He made us both feel comfortable. During Sasuke’s stay, Juan sent me photos of my baby having fun, which was really nice. Definitely booking again.”
“Chloe was wonderful! She was able to accommodate our last-minute request and made the whole process easy and stress-free. We really appreciated her flexibility and responsiveness. We would absolutely book with her again the next time we’re out of town.”
“Sir Charles really enjoyed himself! I appreciate Andrea sending me pictures of my pup while I was out of town. I can tell that he was played with and cuddled just like we do at home. She even reached out about a potential alternate feeding schedule based on her observations with him. I will definitely leave Sir Charles with her 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!”
“My pups stay with Chelsea was fantastic. I'm always a little apprehensive when leaving my dogs somewhere new but they came back happy, healthy, and tired and it showed they truly were on vacation too! Chelsea updated me daily with plenty of photos and texts of how they were doing so the entire time we were away we knew they were in good hands. I would happily recommend her to everyone.”
“We highly recommend Traci. She took such excellent care of our Zoe. She would send us videos and pics to update us on Zoe. Our dog enjoyed her stay there with Traci. We will definitely get her service again in the future. Traci, thank you again for watching our Zoe.”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our dog with Julie and Natalie! They accommodated us on a last minute request. Do not hesitate to book your pet here, we hope to leave our pet with them again!”
