Brianne was great! She provided great care for my pet, made sure he received all the attention he craved, and sent me detailed report cards. I highly recommend Brianne for sitting care and I will book with her again!!

Just like the last time Catherine cared for my cat, when I got home, the cat was fast asleep—when I come home on normal days, she’s up and waiting for me. But Catherine has won my cat over so well that she feels safe hearing the door open thinking that Catherine is coming to care for her!

About: While I don't own a dog, I have been around them all my life, and have never know i dog I didn't love, or didn't love me. Rover has opened doors for me to meet and relate to new people and pets. I am a supervisor at my job and i also am in school as a grad student, so i take responsibility very seriously. As a dog sitter, I view this as an oppurtunity to connect with different people and of course animals. Also, forcing me to get outside and be more active! I would like to be able to walk your dog, complete check ins, and house sit. Unfortunatley, as much as I would like to, I cannot dog board with my current living status. My schedule is very tight, so I do have to limit myself to the number of clients I take on. The more time advance a booking is offered, the more I will be able to adjust my schedule to meet those requirements. I care to the standards of the pet owners, and frequently send pics an updates as well as I ask questions when necessary. I also do my best to go above and beyond when i can!

Andrew was great! This way my first time using Rover and I was so nervous about leaving my cat. He made me feel comfortable leaving her in his hands and she loved him (she typically hides when she isn’t sure of someone).

About: Hi, I’m Nathan! Animal care isn't just a hobby for me—it’s a central part of my life. I have years of hands-on experience looking after a diverse family of pets, ranging from high-energy working dogs to delicate toy breeds, independent felines, and backyard poultry. Whether your pet has four legs or two wings, I provide the specialized, attentive care they deserve. I understand that no two dogs are the same, and I adapt my approach to fit your pup’s unique size, breed personality, and energy level. Because I am currently on summer break, I have completely open, flexible availability! My schedule is wide open, which means pet care is my absolute top priority right now. Whether you need last-minute coverage, daily recurring walks, or extended house sitting over the summer months, I am available and ready to help! When I am house sitting or drop-in visiting, your home and your pets are treated with the utmost respect. I pride myself on clear communication, punctuality, and sending you regular photo updates so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away. I can’t wait to meet your unique pet family! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. I’ve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and I’ve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!

Don inspired immediate trust with his excellent level of communication and gentle approach with our cats. We have two ancient Bengals, one who requires meds, and because of his previous experience, I could relax and know she would get her meds. He sent us pics each day and we came home to happy cats and a clean house. We will definitely be using Don again when we go away!

About: Our family has cared for pets for more than 10 years, including three dogs and one cat. I have personally helped care for our oldest dog, Luna, throughout the years, including feeding, walks, companionship, and keeping her comfortable as she has gotten older. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. I am patient, calm, attentive, and careful with instructions from pet parents. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, feeding, medication reminders, or simply quiet companionship, I will treat them with respect and care. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy being around animals and take responsibility seriously. I know pets are family, and I would want every owner to feel confident that their dog or cat is safe, cared for, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already spend time caring for my own pets and helping with pets belonging to family and friends. I am available during evenings, some weekdays, and weekends, and I can plan walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship around each pet’s normal routine. I am dependable with schedules and understand that pets feel safer when their care is consistent. I care for pets with patience, attention, and respect for the owner’s instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh water, food if needed, potty breaks, safe walks, and companionship. I pay attention to doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and each pet’s comfort level. I also understand that some pets are shy or nervous at first, so I give them space, move calmly, and let them feel comfortable at their own pace.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for years through friends, family, and pets I've had the opportunity to care for along the way. Those experiences taught me that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. Today, I'm the proud owner of a Cavapoo puppy, Oreo, which has given me daily hands-on experience with puppy care, exercise, feeding routines, enrichment activities, and positive reinforcement. Caring for my own dog has strengthened my understanding of the patience, consistency, and attention that great pet care requires. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That's why I prioritize communication, reliability, and regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is receiving the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to help them feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. Because I work from home, I'm able to maintain a flexible schedule and be present for the pets in my care throughout the day. This allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping pets comfortable and on their usual routine. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Because I work from home, I'm able to maintain a flexible schedule and be present for the pets in my care throughout the day. This allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while helping pets stay comfortable and on their usual routine. I also have a friendly Cavapoo puppy, Oreo, who loves companionship and can be a great playmate for dogs who enjoy being around other pets. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while their owners are away.

Kate accepted our last minute request to drop by to check on our cat while we were out. Our cat is elderly, shy and not very friendly, but Kate managed to get her out of her shell and play/pet her. She sent many pictures and details about how she was doing and it was great peace of mind. We came home to a happy, well fed and well taken care of kitty. Thanks Kate! Happy to recommend if you need her to take care of your kitty.
