“Neige did a wonderful job checking in on my two cats while I was out of the country for a week. I appreciate her sending me pictures and making sure they were fed with their favorite food/treats which gave me peace of mind while being away. If I ever need a cat sitter again, I will definitely be using her services.”


“Could not have asked for a better first time Rover experience. Kassidy was able to make fast friends with our very nervous boy. She will be on our speed dial moving forward. I appreciate all of her daily updates and photos!”


About: With experience caring for pets of all ages, I bring patience, love, and reliability to every visit. Whether your dog is big or small, shy or social, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I genuinely love helping out in any way I can, whether it’s a long walk, feeding time, or a quick potty break. I treat every pet like family, and I’m here to make your life easier! I’m currently only working part time with lenient hours so I’m capable of making any potty or walk schedule work for me. Im home for the summer from college and wanted to make extra cash doing something I enjoyed. I closely follow any specific routines, feeding instructions, or medical needs you provide, and I always keep a watchful eye to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. In your home, I respect your space and keep everything clean and just the way you left it. I know how important trust is when someone’s caring for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously.

About: I've been around dogs and animals my entire life. My oldest dog has been with me since I was 17 so she's going on 13 years old. I have a 5 year old Great Dane and German Australian mix that I've had since puppies. I'm great at teaching puppies sit, lay down, and recalling. (I'm not a professional by no means) I raised an elder iguana for 6 years before she passed, I grew up with cats of all personalities, and rabbits. I'm not shy or jittery of reptiles, amphibians, spiders or other insects. I work a very flexible work from home job that allows me to step away any time that I need. I can guarantee that your pet will not be alone for more than 4 hours Mon to Fri and Saturday and Sunday I usually have open availability I'm calm, I know stress signals in dogs and cats, I will meet with your animals at their own pace. I will follow any care instructions you have left and I will clean up any found accidents (puppies and other non house broke animals or elderly) including if their crates need cleaned as long as the supplies are easily found without me needing to open cabinets (on a counter or table) I always avoid people and other animals on walks to minimize all risks. I'm very careful when opening door in case someone decides to run, and I don't mind getting during/slobbered on

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. We had pets of all kinds growing up. I have a dog (border collie + blue heeler mix) and a cat (Maine coon). I have been pet sitting for four years and have experience with complex diets, nervous and excited animals, and administering medications orally and through injections. I pet sit in my free time. I usually have to ask off work to take care of animals, so two weeks notice is best. My schedule will be more open in August. I always double check locks on all doors to ensure safety for the animals and belongings in the house. I always clean messes made by animals while I am there.

About: With a 7 year old golden of my own, I love dogs at all their stages of life! Taking care of pets is something I have always loved to do. I am currently working remote 3-4 days a week, so I have some flexibility! I am also available most weekends for what you and your pet may need. When visiting a client’s home, I will ensure that I take care of everything as if it were my own. I also have a dog of my own who loves routine, so doing everything I can to ensure that your pet is comfortable and has the best experience with me as well!

About: From the time I was a baby, there has never been a moment where my family did not have any animals in the home, and my love for animals I inherited from my grandpa. I knew when I had my own home, I would also have pets. After adopting my sweet fur babies, finding a reliable and trusting pet sitter was the most important thing, and having the assurance that they were being loved on and taking care of the same way that I do was the utmost importance. After some time and consideration, I thought I could offer my services as a pet sitter and the same love and caring for other animals that I have for mine, as well as offering the peace of mind pet parents need when trusting another to watch their beloved pets. I have personal experience with different breeds of dogs from big to small as well as cats, and have had animals from puppy/kitten stage to old age. My Fila girl completed 4 levels of training at Tri-State K9 University as her background was unknown when I fostered (and later adopted her), but though her behavior it was clear she had been through a rough time and suffered from fear and anxiety. With patience, love, and training she blossomed out of her shell and out came the sweet, playful girl I knew she truly was. I know some animals need extra care and handling in order to trust someone, which is why I know having the best pet sitter is so important and want to bring my love, experience, and patience to you and your beloved pets. I am mostly available early mornings and evening, but I am willing to work with you to find the best schedule to care for your animal(s). My sweet Fila can be picky with her canine friends, so I will not be able to provide services in my home but I am happy to take your dog on walks around your neighborhood, a nearby park, and play a game of fetch (or whatever your animal prefers) in your yard. I also have a wonderful fiance and stepchildren who would also love to help provide extra love and hugs to your animal(s) if allowed.

About: Hi, I’m Anna, 19 years of age. I’m looking to fulfill my free time with dogs. I have previous dog sitting experience and if relevant I’ve been babysitting for the past four years and withhold caretaking traits, and understand the responsibilities that come with caring for another. I have a deep passion for all animals. I’m adaptive to knowing body language and catch signs of any disproportional behavior. Thank you! I’m currently available 24/7, which means I can easily accommodate same-day requests. I’m also more than happy to stop by as many times as needed throughout the day to make sure your pets are well taken care of. As previously mentioned I have an understanding of canine behavior and body language so I’m aware of their boundaries and trusts. I also have experience of dog sitting; the pup is still thriving today so that’s a good point :).

About: I've been working in this field since 2013 and love caring for all animals! I graduated vet school in 2022 and with my Masters in Public Health in 2023. I travel a lot for work (mostly in the winter) but I work from home when I'm not traveling and am hoping to get out of the house more! I live in an apartment so I typically will not be able to bring other's pets there. I have years of experience pet sitting in my client's homes where most pets are happiest and most comfortable.

About: I've had pets of all kinds, the basic, cat or dog, and even fish. Also have had more exotic pets; rabbits, ducks, birds, ferret, etc! I've done years of research on pets and I'm very reliable when it comes to caring for pets, caring for your pet, I will consider and treat it as if it was my own! I adore animals with all my heart! I'm currently completely available until I get a second job, probably part time so I can help & keep your pets needs met & provide the care for your furry family member whenever it's needed! I do not live on my own currently so that’s something I can possibly offer in the future! However, I have 4 cats & a sweet little mutt dog aswell :) any pet will be cared & treated as my own!


About: Hey there! I am Kristin and after an extended time away from Rover I am back and ready to do the job I have always loved doing... taking care of animals! Just a little backstory on me: It has always been my dream to be able to love on animals so I made that happen. I worked at the Towne Square Pet Resort, which is a boarding facility for dogs and cats. I gained lots of experience caring for fur babies during my time there. After going off to college, I worked at the Western Kentucky University Horse Barn caring for quarter horses while pursuing my degree, a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture with an emphasis in Animal Science. I have since graduated, and started my own family and hobby farm. We have had dogs, sheep, goats, turkeys, ducks, guineas and LOTS of chickens. When I say I love taking care of animals, I absolutely mean it! I have volunteered my time with several pet rescues in the area and did job shadows at local vet clinics. Animals are my passion in life, they always have been! I previously was a dog sitter offering boarding in my home and had lots of great reviews. I am looking to do mostly drop ins right now but will consider boarding on a case by case basis. I do work full time so I am hoping to be available to drop in/walk on my lunch or right after work. I know this will limit me but I have hopes that this can work for some so please don't hesitate to reach out to me and see if we can make a plan work! I work full time but do have plenty of time off. I am hoping to drop in on my lunch or after work. On my days off/weekends I am much more flexible. I know animals can struggle being away from the people they love so when I drop in I will play/walk/feed your pet and give lots of lovings and reassurance until their owner can be with them.

“Perfect sitters. First time using this app and they done perfect. Well beyond the expectation and the animals loved being able to stay home. Definitely recommend using their services. I will request them before I go anywhere else.”

About: I’m a middle school teacher first, but I’ve had dogs all my life and have been dogsitting for the past five years through word of mouth and friend recommendations. I started then and loved it, so thought I would expand by joining Rover! We are a pet-loving family who loves having animals as “extra family” in our homes to give their own family peace of mind while they are at work or traveling. During the summer break, I’m available during the day, nights, and weekends. During the school year I am only available for overnight and weekend sitting. We have a large fenced in yard and a friend-loving golden retriever and a really big 2 year old helper. Pets kept in our home are treated just like our pets. Some of our clients even pile up in our bed! We want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible with us as it can already be stressful being separated from family.

About: I have taken care of pets all my life! I have an enjoyment in caring for animals. It relieves a lot of anxiety and stress! I own my own pet sitting business called Fur Ever Sitters, I am licensed and Insured! My business is based around me setting up a meet and greet to know you and your Fur Babies! I then go 3 times a day (standard) to feed and water, let outside, walks, playtime. If you need less per day, I can do that as well. Pet Sitting is just something I love. I can pet sit on any of the days I am off work at my current job which is every other 7 days. I offer letting pets outside to potty, playtime, walk them, feed them, or any needs necessary. I have crates if your pet needs one. I have super friendly dogs myself. I rescued one from a puppy mill. My kids are also animal lovers like me. I have taught them all how to approach animals, how to be nice, not to be rough around them. I have a tie out, outside if needed as well!
