5. Ariel E.

“Ariel was on time, followed all instructions, and even stayed extra for my skittish dog. Not easy taking care of my crew but Ariel handled them all well - came home to happy pups. She also communicated with me and provided updates which is what I look for in a sitter. I can recommend Ariel”


6. Dawn G.
“Dawn is an amazing, caring, loving person. When she cared for my pup Mocha, I could see in their initial reaction with each other during our meet and greet, just how amazing, patient, and a true animal lover she is. Dawn puts the pups first, and made Mocha feel right at home. She always provided pictures and updates on how Mocha was doing, this of course gave me peace of mind knowing Mocha was having a good time. When Mocha came home she was happy and tired, I would absolutely without question be using Dawn again for my Mocha, and have already recommended her to everyone I know :) Thank you again for taking such good care of Mocha and also for taking the extra time making sure Mocha would eat, which is no easy task I know! lol”

About: I’ve have taken care of pets since I was a child. I have been with Rover since February 2023.I have a large yard and a little boy who loves animals. We spend a lot of time outdoors. If your pet likes that, they will be able to join us. I have a chain link kennel out in the yard and a lead where they have room to walk around and hang out outside of the kennel too. I work full time. I am available after 5:30 pm Mon-Fri. Weekends I’m free all day! We love animals and can’t wait to care of yours! :) I have a large open yard with an enclosed porch for your pet to lounge and take in the sunshine! I provide morning, evening and bedtime walks and outdoor time.

“Neomi was amazing! We needed a sitter last minute with our puppy, and she really helped us out. She was responsive and even switched up the timing of her visit for us. We highly recommend Neomi!”


9. Hanna M.
“Hanna is an excellent candidate for becoming a dog walker/sitter. She has a passion for caring for others and is extremely responsible. Hanna has watched our two dogs and one cat multiple times and has always done a great job feeding them, making sure they have water, walking them and giving them all the love and attention they need. She will not disappoint!”

12. Jeni H.
About: I've taken care of family and friends dogs and pets since I can remember. Whenever a family member is traveling or a neighbor needs help, they call me. I've had my cat Inca for about 13 years and she's my world. I'm currently working part-time until the season picks up. I'm usually scheduled on Fridays/Saturdays/Sunday. So I can care/walk your pet anytime during the week, and I can work out something if overnight is needed. I can easily crate animals. I can follow directions and have common knowledge on dogs and cats. I'm young and energetic so 'no job is too big and no pup is too small'


13. Amanda M.
About: I love playing with dogs and walking them. I've grown up around all types of dogs small and large. I'm very fun and outgoing as well as criminal justice trained ensuring your pets safety. I have taken care of our families dogs as well as watching other family friends pets. I have watched animals with allergies and medication needs. Dogs of all ages are welcome. I will meet any needs of the dog/dogs and ensure to have them back to you safe worn out and happy. I work part time so most of my day is running errands or cleaning the house. If they love car rides they are more than welcome to drive around with me. I will adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the dog or animal. Also absolutely love my kitties. Open to all animal requests just ask! Im a full time optician and part time cook. With plenty of notice I will take off my parttime job to care for your babies. Your pet will be loved as family. Your pet will be able to sleep with me and get full access of my apartment. Toilet bowl lids will always be closed


14. Ron L.
“Ron is one of the few people on a VERY SHORT LIST I allow to watch my senior french bulldog. He's amazing with her, knows all about her overheating problems. He's very patient with her, even when she's on a poop strike during the rain! His rates are lower than a lot of others in the area and he's always on time. I highly recommend him to all my friends and family :)”


15. Victoria C.
About: We have abundant experience in caring for animals whether they be ours or loved one's who we've cared for while they were away from their animals/house. This includes but is not limited to the following; large and small dogs (Greyhounds, Boxers, Husky, Pit bulls, mixed breeds, Maltese poodle, etc.), cats, large and small snakes (2ft - 9ft), small mammals (mice and rats, deques, rabbits, etc.), reptiles to (include scorpions, bearded dragons) .. just to name a few! Hello! I'm Victoria and I often travel with the best travel partner I've found yet, Rae. I travel frequently and am available for extended sits as needed. We often miss the love of animals while on the road. So, house and pet sitting is perfect for us! I take work with me and also additionally do gig work (i.e. grocery deliveries) if time permits while traveling. In time off from work, if not spending time with family or animals, we love to cook, find hidden gem restaurants/food trucks, explore in nature, long camping trips (we just took a 9000 mile, 2 month camping trip this year in April), projects on various older vehicles, attend concerts/festivals, or many other different events that a town/city may have to offer! We love to meet new people and pets and explore new areas... or frequent favorited locations! We often miss the love of animals while on the road. So, house and pet sitting is perfect! We still get to give our love to your animals while on the road! We come to you and follow your instructions and routines as to not disrupt your pets natural environment and daily schedule! Simply put, your preferences will be our preferences depending on your pets needs whatever it is that will make your pet most comfortable! Please note we do not smoke or vape and prefer to stay at a non smoking house. Please let us know if you smoke in your house!


16. Melanie D.
“Melanie has been dog sitting my shih tzu, Tater, for the past 2 years. I do not know what I would have done when I got stranded in Colorado for an extra 6 days last year due to COVIID if Melanie had not been my dog sitter. She was able to extend her stay, and because I knew Tater was in the best hands, I was able to rest instead of stressing about travelling back home. Tater can barely contain herself when she sees Melanie walking up to my condo! They have developed such an amazing bond that I do not hesitate to call Melanie when I have to travel for work, take an extended vacation, or even for a week or two of walks when my job gets too crazy. She is quick to respond to all of my texts, and is proactive about sending me updates. The personal touch means everything to me since I am a first-time dog owner (and thus have incredible anxiety when I leave my fur baby)! I cannot recommend Melanie enough if you are looking for a competent, honest person to entrust with your pup's well-being.”


17. Miriam H.

“Miriam is very sweet and was amazing with my cat and dog. She wasn’t afraid to reach out to reach out with any questions and took the cutest photos of my pup while on a walk and playing.”


18. Frederick J.
About: Mature animal friendly companion, to visit, feed and exercise with your family members. Gentle voice & manners help with your pet’s adjustment to a new visitor. I have always lived with my animals. Even during full time career. I am familiar with their behavior and routines. I’m reliable with their care. My animals are used to being inside the house. I have a large back yard, and quiet street, without traffic. Cabled run and leached walking preferred.




19. Jessica L.
About: I am an all natural animal lover! I love animals of all types. I find dogs especially to be therapeutic for me. I can promise if i dog sit for you, you won't regret it. They will be in great hands. I’m a SAHM who is looking to make extra income and I would love nothing more than to do that through my love of pets. Let me take care of your furbabies while on vacation with no worries! You won't regret it! I’m a SAHM who’s very flexible! I have a very long history of veterinary experience and pet sitting. Taking care of animals and loved ones holds a special place in my heart. I treat every pet like my own ❤️ each pet is different and some have special needs so I always try to accommodate and make sure each furbaby has what they need whether they are staying with me or in the comfort of their own home.


20. Cassidy F.
“Cassidy is a wonderful pet sitter! She takes great care of my dog and three cats (one of whom is elderly and takes medication daily). She lets me know if there are any problems, if any, and is great communicating in all aspects. I am VERY picky when it comes to someone caring for my babies, and she has helped ease that anxiety. 10/10 would recommend!”
