“Gabriella is incredibly caring and clearly passionate about animals! She took such great care with our dog and made sure that her dogs were slowly introduced to ours. She sends lots of photos and gives love to your pet as if it were her own!”
About: Taking walks around my pond, lots of cuddles, and play will be enjoyed at my home. Open to working with your feeding schedule preferences for your pet. Weekends, I will be home more to play and cuddle. I work outside of home during the week, but in the evenings I will have lots of time to play and have fun. If you have a crate, I would love for you to bring it for the dog. This way, if I am sitting with multiple pets while I'm gone, they are safe. Also, I will always have a leash in my complex.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have years of experience caring for pets of my own, as well as helping family and friends with theirs. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific routines for feeding, walks, medications, and individual pet needs. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. I have a flexible schedule and would love the opportunity to provide dependable care, playtime, and lots of affection for your furry family members! I currently work mainly remote, so I am able to have a flexible schedule to tend to your pets care and needs. I enjoy building pet care into my day! I love starting with walks, playtime, and attention to help pets feel comfortable and happy. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and routines. I’m responsible, attentive, and will treat your pet like my own while they’re in my care. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and cared for.
“It was a wonderful experience leaving Nelli with Cathy. She greeted us at the door and made Nelli feel at home. She was well taken care of and we will definitely use her services again. Received many pictures and videos throughout the day which made us feel very comfortable.”
“Andrea is a thoughtful, caring sitter who provides regular updates and photos . She responds quickly to messages. She has a nice, fenced backyard. We will be having her care for our dog again soon!”
“Marilyn was a fantastic dog sitter, and I'm so happy we've already got her booked for another upcoming weekend away! At our meet and greet, our Zephyr was comfortable with Marilyn right away, and she clearly settled in and made herself at home while we were gone. Marilyn sent us plenty of updates and photos, and I could tell our pup was having the best time ever! Marilyn cared for Zeph probably better than we do! At the risk of this review contributing to making Marilyn so popular that we won't be able to book her again, I'll she's easily one of the best dog sitters we've ever had, and I can't recommend her more highly!”
“I highly recommend Shawn And Joey. Bella warmed up to them right away. Dogs can tell these things. After initial meeting, we had no qualms about boarding. They updated us daily, with photos of walks, dog park, playing with other dogs. When we arrived to pick her up, she wasn't super excited to leave. Thank you for your outstanding care and keeping our minds at ease. We'll definitely bring Bella again when we need long term care.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for 29 years+ From my own to families and friends. Anyone can rely on me to check in on a pet, feed, take out and any other duties especially loving on them! I’m not one to just drop in and do the duty- I want to get all the snuggles and kisses and let them have some play time! Some friends and neighbors have been having me stay and take care of their pets or drop in care for 10+ years. There’s nothing I love more than caring for pets! They give me the happiness that my loved ones do because they are “my loved one too!” Some people say I’m a dog whisper. I live and breathe for my 2 dogs I currently have. Ages 10 and 12! I enjoy seeing them run, play, tail wag and smile! I’m home with them daily and talk to them as if they can understand ;) they are my Velcro babies and I wouldn’t have it any other way!! Let me know if u would like to meet up and we can get things rolling and I can be a help with whatever it is that u need to make sure ur pets are well cared for, happy, loved and having fun. It’s like a mini vacation for the pets! :) I’m available most of the day to play with, feed, take out, or just some extra snuggle time! Evenings also! Don’t hesitate to reach out even if it’s for one little helping! I take care of our 3 dogs we have now during the day! But I’m looking for extra snuggles and putting that smile on your pets face as much as mine!! I would love to play with, take out, feed and love on your pet for 5 minutes or 1 hour! Very happy to do so! I’d love for your pet to feel loved and safe in my home with my babies , my two black labs who love everyone!! They bring me soo much happiness and joy!! I’m home always to be with them and adore and enjoy them!! 🩷

About: Hi there, I’m Sarah! Thank you for stopping by my profile! I’m a proud U.S. Navy veteran who separated from the military in 2017. Growing up in a military family, I had the opportunity to live in 25 different states and 6 countries, which gave me a deep appreciation for people, cultures, and the incredible diversity of animals around the world. Those experiences helped shape my adaptable, compassionate personality and my love for caring for both people and animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for everything from dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, chickens, and goats to helping family members care for horses, cows, and other farm animals. Whether your pet has paws, feathers, or scales, I’m comfortable providing patient, attentive care tailored to their individual personality and needs. I currently have an older service dog named Basil and a senior cat named Dhara, so I understand firsthand how important it is to provide gentle care, consistency, and a calm environment—especially for older pets. If your pet stays with me, they’ll be welcomed into a peaceful home where they’ll receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision. One of the experiences I’m most proud of was spending two years training my service dog, Basil, through the ARF Pets for Vets program in Walnut Creek, California. That experience taught me a tremendous amount about canine behavior, positive reinforcement, communication, and building trust. It also strengthened my belief that every animal communicates in their own unique way, and I take the time to understand their body language so they feel safe, respected, and comfortable. Outside of pet care, I’m a freelance product designer and entrepreneur who enjoys creating new products, designing 3D models, and bringing ideas to life. I also love cooking, baking, traveling, exploring new places, and discovering local restaurants—I’m even an Elite Yelp reviewer, so you could say I enjoy finding the best hidden gems wherever I go! When caring for your pet, my goal is to make them feel like they’re part of the family. I know how difficult it can be to leave a beloved pet behind, so I strive to provide the same level of care, patience, and affection that I’d want for my own animals. What you can expect from me: • Personalized care based on your pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. • Experience caring for a wide variety of companion and farm animals. • Daily photo, video, and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing. • A meet-and-greet before booking to make sure we’re a great fit. • Basic training guidance and positive reinforcement tips when appropriate. • A clean, calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet’s health, comfort, and happiness always come first. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I truly appreciate that trust. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered or scaly!) family members and providing them with the same love and care I’d give my own. I work full-time Monday through Friday with every other Friday off. From 6 AM to 3 PM, but I can accommodate meet and greets throughout the week, including drop in visits on my lunch break. If I’m staying at a client’s home, I can easily plan my schedule around your pet’s needs, ensuring they receive consistent care and attention. I’m most available for extended services Friday through Sunday, so we can coordinate a schedule that works best to keep your furry, feathered, or scaly friend happy and comfortable. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In my home or a client’s home, I ensure the space is pet-proofed and free of hazards. I follow each pet’s routine to make them feel at ease, respecting their space and preferences. For new pets, I take the time to build trust through positive interactions and gentle introductions. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe space with designated areas for eating, sleeping, and play. I supervise all interactions, especially with other animals, to ensure everyone's safety. I also maintain cleanliness, making sure litter boxes are scooped daily (or more frequently depending on the pet), food and water bowls are clean, and any medication needs are carefully followed. When staying in a client’s home, I respect their environment by keeping their pet’s routine consistent, and I ensure they have a safe, familiar space. I communicate regularly with pet owners to update them on their pet’s well-being and to address any concerns. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and comfort in your home as I would in mine.
“Autumn was absolutely amazing! She took Hank on short notice and was able to accommodate him perfectly. She went above and beyond. She took Hank out with her often and let him hangout with her dog! I highly recommend her!”
“I had an amazing first experience using the Rover app with Melissa! Chopper seemed comfortable, happy, and well taken care of the entire time. Melissa communicated incredibly well and sent lots of updates and pictures, which gave me a peace of mind. She was also very sweet, flexible with her availability, and active with Chopper. Melissa took Chopper on several long walks, and it was clear he had a great time with her. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring, active, and reliable sitter. I look forward to booking with her again for Chopper in the future!”

About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life, aside from when I was in the dorms during college. I currently own 2 cats and have recent experience with nail clipping, tooth brushing, and medication delivery. I am definitely a cat person and will make an effort to spend time with your kitty how she/he likes it (play time, lap time, snack time, etc.)
“Summer took the time to stop by and meet us and our cats before we left for our trip. We enjoyed the daily updates and photos. She even got our shy cat to open up to her. We would gladly use her services again.”

About: While I am relatively new to formal pet sitting, I absolutely love cats and respect their unique personalities. I understand that some kitties love to play and snuggle, while others just want their own space.I am highly reliable and will strictly follow all your instructions for feeding, refreshing their water, and keeping the litter box perfectly clean. I have a very flexible schedule, meaning I will never rush through a visit. I promise to give your cat plenty of dedicated attention, quiet companionship, and send you cute photo updates so you know they are safe and happy!
“Debora was here today for her first drop-in visit. She was prompt and sent a couple pics as requested. She also left a note for me on how the visit went. My pup and her hit it off great at the meet and greet.”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and truly love caring for them. Growing up, my family had dogs, chickens, rabbits, a green-winged macaw, fish, and other pets, so I became comfortable with animals of all kinds from a young age. Over the years, I've also dog and cat sat for many friends and family members, caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and routines. While I don't currently have a dog of my own, I'm a proud cat owner and know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just enjoys extra cuddles and company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I work full time during the week, but I'm available before and after work for walks and drop in visits. I'm committed to providing reliable, consistent care and will make sure your pets get the attention and love they deserve while you're away. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I do my best to stick to the schedule they're most comfortable with. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for a visit, I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise or playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of love and attention. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions, including administering medication (if needed), maintaining feeding schedules, or reinforcing routines you've already established. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals, growing up caring for dogs, fish, and even a parrot. That early experience turned into a true passion, and as an adult I’ve continued to care for pets of my own. I’ve also been a trusted pet sitter for friends, providing attentive, reliable care for their pets while they’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for at all times I am available to care for your pet after work on the week days and then full or partial time if needed on the weekends. I will provide the care and love they need. They will be feed, given fresh water, taken outside for potty breaks, taken for walks, and cleaned up after as needed too.
About: I have been taking care and watching over cats for the last couple of year. I have two younger cats. I feed them morning and nights, clean their litter boxes and play thoughtout the day with then. I am familiar with giving medication to them.

About: My mother Michele has retired from Rover and has handed me the reins so to speak. My name is Nikki, i grew up with all different kinds of animals and have volunteered with the humane society for many years. I specialize with helping feral/aggressive animals when i can find the time. My mother calls me the animal whisperer 😊 My husband Ben and i will take jobs together so we have some more flexibility. He also grew up with animals, he has specialized with training huskies in the past. We have an 11 year old daughter that loves to help play with animals. Even in youth she has had a lot of experience with animals and is very respectful and patient. One of her favorite activities is to exercise with animals, so occasionally if I am watching an animal that is good with kids and requires exercise, I will bring her along to join in the fun! (With your permission of course) We have have 3 fur babies of our own, Gypsy, Mila and Blu 😊 My husband and I work 8AM-4:30 Monday-Friday and have weekends off. We will need to schedule around our work during the week, but our weekends are usually open! I give all animals the amount of affection and time they need. An animal will tell you how much or little attention they would like, you can hear it through their reaction to you. Patience is always a must. I have taught my daughter this as well. You cannot properly care for an animal unless you understand their personality.
“Sarah is amazing. Lily is all puppy and has all the puppy energy. Sarah kept us up to date on the adventures of their day. Her professionalism is top notch. Sarah gave us helpful suggestions on training and recommended a couple toys Lily would benefit from. Lily had a great day.”
“Becky is everything you could hope for from a pet sitter. We were in her area for a funeral and left our dog with her for the day. The experience was great. Her communication was excellent, she has a gorgeous dog-friendly neighborhood and home, and she took excellent care of our dog. She and her kids returned him to us happy and tired, which is no small feat. I would go far out of my way to leave our dog with Becky again. Thanks so much!”

“Emma has been a big help taking care of our dog. She is prompt, attentive, and easy to work with! And most importantly she is good to our beloved critter. Thanks Emma!”
About: I have always had a dog since I was in high school. I currently have 2 of the cutest dogs that have gone through training. I have a flexible schedule and understand that your pets are like your family so if you need someone last minute I am happy to accommodate! I work remotely with a flexible schedule. I understand that things come up and I’m more than happy to be that last minute option for you! I am in a central location where everything is about 15 mins away I can check in on pets and take them for walks. I can also do enrichment activities and keep consistency with any training that you are working on with your pets for extended check ins (not a trainer-just attended many sessions with my dogs).
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life. I've loved and cared for cat and dog breeds of all ages and sizes, going back to age 12 when my piano teacher hired me to provide drop in visits to her two Bernese Mountain dogs and two senior cats. I'm experienced in bathing & nail trimming and have no problem sitting on the floor patiently brushing out cockleburs for an hour. I've had long and short hair cats, and have experience providing specific meal requirements and special accommodations, as well as administering medicine and insulin shots. I believe pets are an extension of the family and should be treated just as warmly <3 Pet safety is super important to me - I will fully respect and honor a client's wishes for whatever they need in terms of crate use, off limit areas, dietary restrictions, human and other animal interactions, etc. I'm always trying to learn more about specific breeds and their traits so I can provide the best love and attention possible. I'm also happy to help with whatever you need while you're away - bringing the mail in, watering plants, taking the garbage out - just let me know! I have an almost 8 year old son who absolutely adores animals, so if the pets and their pet parents are comfortable with it, he comes along and provides even extra attention, playtime, and snuggles. I work remotely so my schedule is generally very flexible! Mornings, midday, and evenings during the work week, and anytime Saturday-Sunday. Just reach out and I'm sure we can make it work! I don't currently offer boarding at my home, but when I do, my pets are all very friendly! When in the client's home, I'm very aware and conscious of keeping the surroundings as they were, and using only the rooms necessary to care for your pets. I always make sure doors/windows are closed and/or locked.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was an infant, including my own dog! I love giving my own pup a walk and would love to meet some other dogs and cats. I have plenty of time to visit with dogs or cats and make sure they have everything they need! I’ll make sure they are entertained I am very attentive to client detail. I will make sure to follow instructions that are given by you to make sure your pet is as safe and comfortable as possible.
“Brittany was highly professional and so excited to walk my dog. Duchess was so tuckered out after she promptly laid down for a nap! 10/10 would highly recommend. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, hamsters, chickens, and even a donkey! With two cats of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’m patient, experienced, and happy to help teach basics to puppies and kittens or even adult pets if needed. As a housewife with flexible availability, I can provide attentive, loving care tailored to your pet’s needs. As a housewife with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to spend with my own cats and any pets I’m caring for. While I occasionally work from home part-time, pet care always fits perfectly into my daily routine. I’m committed to providing your pet with the attention and love they need, whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just relaxing together. Let me know if you need any adjustments! I have a spacious yard where dogs can enjoy their own private space. My two cats are very friendly with other animals, but if there’s ever a dog or cat that doesn’t get along with them, I have separate areas to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. I provide plenty of love, attention, and flexibility to accommodate each pet’s needs, making sure they feel right at home.
“Summer did a great job watching Milo for us! She communicated well with us through the whole process! She met with us prior to our trip and showed up on time each time. Very reliable, I would definitely hire her again! Thank you Summer!”
About: I have a genuine love for animals. I grew up on a farm, surrounded by dogs and all sorts of farm animals. You can count on me to give your pet the affection, comfort, and attentive care they need while you're away.

About: I've grown up surrounded by animals from dogs & cats, to cattle & horses. For dogs, I've had labradors trained as family dogs, and as bird hunting dogs. I've had several house cats with varying personalities. I have been caring for my own pets for 8 years, and have been house and pet sitting for others for 3. I've administered oral medications, worked with high energy dogs, elderly dogs, and handicapped cats. I have worked with foster dogs, and trained working dogs. If you are interested in my services surrounding animals besides dogs & cats, let's talk! I am currently a college student and involved in a couple clubs on campus. I'm free most evenings for overnights, and typically have frequent breaks in my day that allow me to let dogs out or walk them. I am comfortable with a variety of training/pet ownership styles, ranging from kenneled dogs following strict rules, to those used to having rule of the house. I work to respect the current training styles as to not disrupt predetermined expectations for animals. I have worked with a wide range of pet ownership styles and can adapt to meet the routines of the animals, from feeding and walking, to rules surrounding furniture and socialization. I work to keep your animals as comfortable and happy as possible.

About: I have always had pets in my life. From rescued dogs I would fine abandoned on the side of the road to horses who were about to be euthanized by our local rancher. Cats, kittens, puppies and adult senior dogs always have a place in my heart and home. I am an adopter and rescuer. I would love to help you with potty breaks to walks. Feeding to medication administration. Let me know what you need help with and I’ll be there. I’m currently looking to help pet owners as I have been in situations where I needed help with drop ins for potty breaks to needing someone to walk my dog while I was at work. I’m familiar and comfortable with doing all of the above along with giving oral or topical medication. I’m recently retired and would love to spend time helping out. I am very familiar with dogs and cats and all that goes along with making sure they’re comfortable and well taken care of care of.

“Jennifer is FANTASTIC with my dog, Cheeto! It is like a vacation for Cheeto when he goes over to her house. Jennifer is wonderful to work with too --very accommodating to my schedule and sends updates, pictures,and videos. I highly would recommend her.”
“Gabriella is incredibly caring and clearly passionate about animals! She took such great care with our dog and made sure that her dogs were slowly introduced to ours. She sends lots of photos and gives love to your pet as if it were her own!”
About: Taking walks around my pond, lots of cuddles, and play will be enjoyed at my home. Open to working with your feeding schedule preferences for your pet. Weekends, I will be home more to play and cuddle. I work outside of home during the week, but in the evenings I will have lots of time to play and have fun. If you have a crate, I would love for you to bring it for the dog. This way, if I am sitting with multiple pets while I'm gone, they are safe. Also, I will always have a leash in my complex.

“It was a wonderful experience leaving Nelli with Cathy. She greeted us at the door and made Nelli feel at home. She was well taken care of and we will definitely use her services again. Received many pictures and videos throughout the day which made us feel very comfortable.”
“Marilyn was a fantastic dog sitter, and I'm so happy we've already got her booked for another upcoming weekend away! At our meet and greet, our Zephyr was comfortable with Marilyn right away, and she clearly settled in and made herself at home while we were gone. Marilyn sent us plenty of updates and photos, and I could tell our pup was having the best time ever! Marilyn cared for Zeph probably better than we do! At the risk of this review contributing to making Marilyn so popular that we won't be able to book her again, I'll she's easily one of the best dog sitters we've ever had, and I can't recommend her more highly!”
“I highly recommend Shawn And Joey. Bella warmed up to them right away. Dogs can tell these things. After initial meeting, we had no qualms about boarding. They updated us daily, with photos of walks, dog park, playing with other dogs. When we arrived to pick her up, she wasn't super excited to leave. Thank you for your outstanding care and keeping our minds at ease. We'll definitely bring Bella again when we need long term care.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for 29 years+ From my own to families and friends. Anyone can rely on me to check in on a pet, feed, take out and any other duties especially loving on them! I’m not one to just drop in and do the duty- I want to get all the snuggles and kisses and let them have some play time! Some friends and neighbors have been having me stay and take care of their pets or drop in care for 10+ years. There’s nothing I love more than caring for pets! They give me the happiness that my loved ones do because they are “my loved one too!” Some people say I’m a dog whisper. I live and breathe for my 2 dogs I currently have. Ages 10 and 12! I enjoy seeing them run, play, tail wag and smile! I’m home with them daily and talk to them as if they can understand ;) they are my Velcro babies and I wouldn’t have it any other way!! Let me know if u would like to meet up and we can get things rolling and I can be a help with whatever it is that u need to make sure ur pets are well cared for, happy, loved and having fun. It’s like a mini vacation for the pets! :) I’m available most of the day to play with, feed, take out, or just some extra snuggle time! Evenings also! Don’t hesitate to reach out even if it’s for one little helping! I take care of our 3 dogs we have now during the day! But I’m looking for extra snuggles and putting that smile on your pets face as much as mine!! I would love to play with, take out, feed and love on your pet for 5 minutes or 1 hour! Very happy to do so! I’d love for your pet to feel loved and safe in my home with my babies , my two black labs who love everyone!! They bring me soo much happiness and joy!! I’m home always to be with them and adore and enjoy them!! 🩷

“Autumn was absolutely amazing! She took Hank on short notice and was able to accommodate him perfectly. She went above and beyond. She took Hank out with her often and let him hangout with her dog! I highly recommend her!”
“I had an amazing first experience using the Rover app with Melissa! Chopper seemed comfortable, happy, and well taken care of the entire time. Melissa communicated incredibly well and sent lots of updates and pictures, which gave me a peace of mind. She was also very sweet, flexible with her availability, and active with Chopper. Melissa took Chopper on several long walks, and it was clear he had a great time with her. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring, active, and reliable sitter. I look forward to booking with her again for Chopper in the future!”
