“Megan is great with my guys. They look forward to their walks and are very content when I get home from work. She handles my goofy sheepdog really well, he sometimes plays games about getting his harness on. Ha! She communicates very well and goes above and beyond to give my guys water during the hot summer days during the walk. Thank you Megan. I highly recommend her!”



About: I have several years of experience pet and house sitting, including overnight and extended stays. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals—from playful puppies and senior pets with special needs to exotic pets like reptiles and birds, as well as farm animals such as goats and chickens. I’m confident handling feedings, medication, and basic training, especially for young dogs. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their home environment, and I treat every home with respect and care while owners are away. My career is very flexible allowing freedom to live a nomadic life. I travel for work, but my home is in the San Juan Mountains. My scheduling is usually pretty flexible. Please reach out to further discuss availability. As I offer in home services and dog walking only. I will give your pets love and care in the environments that they are comfortable in. I will listen to and honor any of the owner’s requests as to the care of their furry family members. Your home and pets will be taken care of as if they were my own.

About: I grew up on a small hobby farm where I learned to care for household pets and basic livestock. I've cared for anxious/medicated dogs before, raised baby goats who lost their mother, and cared for many senior animals making them as comfortable as possible in their old age. I currently do not have pets as I travel far too often, so Rover is also a fantastic outlet for me to get to experience the pleasantries of animals without the full-time commitment. I currently run my own business so I have the privilege of creating my own hours. My schedule is incredible flexible, and can easily cater to your needs. When staying in my clients homes, I always make sure to leave the place cleaner than when I found it. I'm always quick with my responses when clients check in with how things are going. I love the outdoors and your pup would accompany me on hiking excursions or long walks if desired! For all my feline friends, as much as I love to stay active, I also enjoy my down time where I can curl up with a good book. So whether it be a day of play, or maintaining your home while you're out of town, I got you covered! I live in a converted school bus, so days where I take your furry friends into my care will mostly consist of playing fetch at the park, long walks and hikes, and basically being out in the fresh air every minute we get! Thank you for considering my services, I can't wait to hear from you!

“Leah did an amazing job with our dog, Maple. You could tell how happy she was to go on a walk with her. If you're looking for someone that genuinely loves animals and knows how to care for them, look no further.”


About: Dogs that come visit usually have a blast being part of the pack and end up learning some desirable behaviors with my 2 service animals Bellie and Lola. I am a retired veteran so i am free to work with dogs all day everyday, its very rewarding and works great with my schedule. I have a couple of runners set up and shade structures. When it is hot I let the dogs inside. I take the dogs out to play with my pack often. We will go on walks, throw frizbee, play tag, practice tricks, etc. I like to take the dogs swimming too if thats permitted by the owners before hand ( I have doggy life jackets).

About: I have taken care of animals since I was young, and have always had an animal in my home! Count on me to be dependable and reliable while taking care of them with love! I am currently working from my home two days a week. My schedule is very flexible and I am available during the day to attend to your pets needs! We do not have any pets of our own at this time. We have a large fenced yard, and live right next to the walking path that cuts through town.

About: I’ve been taking care of homes and animals for nearly 3 years. Whether it’s 3 weeks or just for a weekend I’m happy to make sure your pets are happy and well taken care of. From dogs to goats. I cannot board animals in my home due to HOA restrictions I currently have a full time job and do this on the side. I do what is needed to keep you pets happy and healthy. Even if it means giving up a lunch break to take them on a walk. You can rest assured your home will be taken care of and your pets happy. You will never come back to an unclean home. I do what it takes to make your pets comfortable which includes a home visit with you and your pets to make you and them feel comfortable.

“Jennifer has been a life saver! Her love of animals is matched by her understanding of what they need. My German Shepherd can be a bit intimidating to people who don’t know her. Jennifer’s familiarity with big dogs made the transition easy for both me and my dog. My work hours changed and I was no longer able to take my dog out on hikes during the week. Jennifer has taken my dog out on a few hikes and my dog is much happier (and tired) when I come home from work. I love seeing the photos of their adventures and I highly recommend Jennifer’s services!”


“Sierra is amazing. Very reliable and friendly and great with animals. I would use her again and again ! I recommend her highly and you can have confidence knowing she is taking excellent care of your fur babies.”


About: Hi, I’m Val. I have one rescue dog, one rescue Guinea pig, two rescue kitty’s and a bearded dragon because I enjoy animals. I’ve cared for all different types of pets my whole life from squirrels to horses and of course dogs and cats in between. I love them all and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I understand the struggle to find trustworthy pet sitters as I use Rover myself. Knowing that my pets are in good hands gives me a peace of mind and I want to have that service for you. Get in touch with me and I hope to match with your schedule. Working with Rover, I can dedicate time to provide quality and fun pet care when you need as I have a flexible work schedule. I treat your pets as if they were mine. Give me directions as to how you usually care for your animals and I will do my best to meet that need. I understand it’s important for the pet to have love, exercise and play time to add to their schedule and to make them feel at home when you are gone.

Stay tuned! About Me: I've always had a passion for animals, and was raised with dogs, cats, horses, pigs, goats, cows, chickens, birds, fish, hamsters, etc... Through high-school I worked for a horse boarding facility cleaning stalls, exercising horses, and ensuring diet & blanketing protocols were followed with precise detail. After high-school, I spent four years wrangling for guest ranches in the summer, packing for outfitters in the fall, and house sitting during the off seasons! All this to say, I have met and cared for a huge variety of animals under various circumstances. I keep a watchful eye out for illness or injury, and feel confident in my responses to emergency situations. I'm not afraid to ask questions when I'm unsure, either! I take pride in following your routine precisely, sharing updates frequently, and giving you the greatest peace of mind that your pets, plants, & home are in good hands while you're away. Currently I'm studying for my Bachelor's degree, full-time via online courses. This means I will not leave your pets for extended periods while boarding, have flexibility to schedule visits that best suit your pet's needs, and can "work from your home" while housesitting if need be.

I will watch for physical injuries, monitor their "excrements" for signs of illness, and watch for conditions across ALL your pets / livestock including: ear infections, pink-eye, bloat, colic, abscesses, UTI's, etc... In addition to keeping an eye on pet health, I take watching for property issues like broken fences, leaking pipes, strange appliance noises, etc… seriously as well! I want to make sure your home is the way you left it, if not better! I’m fine with lengthy ranch routines morning and night. Again if questions arise or illness or injury is suspected in any of your animals --I will reach out with photos right away. I do have experience navigating small & large animal emergencies and react quickly to these situations!

About: i have experience raising everything from treefrogs to goats. ive been a dog and cat owner for over 30 years. whatever species of animal you need cared for, i can help you. have been pet sitting locally for a few years, just found out about this app. flexible self run business that allows consistent check-ins, whether at my place or yours. no early morning or late night work shifts, im always available. care in your home or mine will be discussed between us, and any instructions or special needs with be gone over in detail so we both know exactly what each others expectations are. no pets of my own in the home, so no concerns of compatibility with your pets.

About: I recently lost my dog of 11 years, a sweet, catahoula pit mix. I gained experience in puppy training, handling dog aggressive behavior and senior care. Please let me know your dogs needs so I can give you both the best experience and care! I work from home as a realtor and take a daily walk/hike for at least 2miles/an hour. Happy to schedule in lots of potty breaks in the fenced backyard and little trips to the treat store and parks too. I’m a lonely nester without my beloved bean dog! I have all the things a dog could want and need at my place- treats, beds, blankets, bowls and tons of love! I can’t wait to take your dog on tons of adventures outside and around the neighborhood.

About: At home, my husband, daughter and I share life with our senior dog, two cats, and a lively flock of chickens. Caring for animals is second nature to me, something I’ve done since I was a kid. My 4-year-old daughter has grown up the same way—gentle, respectful, and just as smitten with animals as I am, probably even more so! I meet every animal where they are. I know the little details matter—how they like to be greeted, what helps them feel safe, and when they just need quiet company. My goal is to make your pets feel as comfortable and cared for as they do with you. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home most of the day and only ever out for short errands—usually no more than a couple of hours. My husband also works from home, so there’s almost always someone here. That means your pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and care! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow your directions closely so their routine stays just the way you like it. In my home, I provide a calm, safe space where pets can settle in and feel comfortable. In your home, I make sure everything is done exactly as you’ve outlined, from feeding and walks to playtime and quiet time. My goal is always the same—happy, secure pets who feel cared for just like they do when you’re there.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years, both dogs and cats. I’ve also fostered many dogs, helped train them and found them loving homes. I’m a quick learner when given instructions and will always make sure to treat your pets with care! I have a degree in elementary education but have yet to start working and have a totally free schedule, so my availability is completely open! I am happy to follow any instructions you have regarding the care of your pets. I understand everyone has different rules and I will make sure to implement them while I’m with your pets!
