“I’ve booked with them multiple times now, and they’re always amazing. Incredibly caring with my cat and follow all of my instructions perfectly, which gives me so much peace of mind. They’re also very thoughtful and kind with Miko, and it really shows -he genuinely enjoys their visits. I also love the pictures I receive, they make me feel so connected while I’m away. Thank you for keeping him happy!”

“Shayley did a great job caring for our dog. She stopped by to meet her first and I could tell immediately that she genuinely loves dogs. She fed and walked out dog for a long weekend. She sent some pictures that put our minds at ease. I was hoping our dog would feel more comfortable in her usual surroundings rather than boarding her like we've done before. This was our first experience with Rover and Shayley made it go so smoothly!”

About: Hi there! I’m Alexis — a lifelong animal lover, full-time college student at Weber State University studying Criminal Justice, and proud mom to a sweet baby boy (born May 2025). I share my home with two healthy cats and two big, lovable dogs — a Doberman and a Leonberger — so I’m very comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and personalities! Animals have always trusted me, and I take pride in earning that trust. My Doberman once went through a major surgery after swallowing a corn cob, and I personally nursed her back to health — giving medication, managing her diet, and keeping her comfortable for weeks. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of proactive care. I love spending my days walking, training, or playing fetch with my dogs. I’m also experienced with basic training, reading body language, and keeping pets calm in new environments. Whether your dog needs a walk, cuddle time, or structured play, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for — just like my own. I’m a full time college student at Weber state studying criminal justice. I have no employment right now just picking up side gigs here and there. I’m really focusing on my college career and being a new mom and living life as best I can in my 20s. My home is pet-friendly, clean, and safe. I have a separate room for my cats if needed, and I crate dogs when unsupervised to prevent injuries or accidents (and to protect your pup — vet bills are no joke!). I feed on a consistent schedule, ensure pets always have fresh water, and make sure collars, tags, and microchips are up to date. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities — I treat every animal as if they’re part of my family. ❤️
About: I really like animals, I am very patient and I have experience taking care of pets of my family, friends and now Rover!! , I have a very flexible schedule, I can do anything the pet owner needs for them. And I have a lot available days, if I am not at home because I work part time as a CNA now , my husband will be there and watch them! We have different schedules and and I am pretty much at home studying online!! Your dogs never would be alone 😊 I can work walking your pets, taking care of them in the client's home, buying and leaving things that the pet needs and any other different service you need we could talk about it.
“Perfect sitter. Very patient and understanding. We had a location that was hard to access abd she was amazing. Always asked questions and kept is in the loop during our family emergency. It gives us peace of mind while we are away”

About: Pets have been a big part of my life since I was small, I understand that they are part of the family and will do my best to treat them as such. i am currently a full time student that does have a part time job and would like to do something that i actually enjoy for once. Pets are our family members and should be treated with love and respect. Safety is also very important and so I will do what I can to keep them safe and have the love and comfort that they require while you are away.

About: I’ve had many animal friends my whole life. Dogs and cats have always been my favorite. I have experience with young and elderly pets. I believe all animals deserve all the love you can give.

I make sure to give them proper care with feeding, potty breaks when needed, quality time like playing, walking, cuddles. I just wanna make sure your pet gets the best care I can give. So if your pet has specific needs or routines please let me know:)

About: I truly treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, attention, and lots of love. I genuinely love any animal under the sun. And I’ll match every dog’s energy. From couch potato to zoomies expert! I’m currently working part time at a restaurant near me in Ogden UT. So I’m not constantly working, leaving plenty time to give your dogs affection and proper care. I’m also willing to move my schedule around and take days off it’s needed! I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel both physically safe and emotionally. My home does have a fenced yard with plenty of space to run around. I pride in leaving both your pets happy and your home clean and well maintained before your return!
“Dawn was so friendly, went above and beyond, came and met our cat before the sit, and brought great experience. She noticed he would like a laser and brought that to play with him, brushed him, and went the extra mile. Such an excellent experience and couldn’t be more at ease on our vacation knowing Dawn was coming to check on our little buddy at home! Great updates and photos as well. Thanks Dawn!!! 🩷🙏”

“Kacey took care of our cats while we were away. We appreciated that she felt comfortable administering eye drops to our cat daily. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that Kacey was looking after our pets.”

About: I've taken care of many different kinds of puppies. I have 2 puppies and can do basic training. Really good with senior dogs and keeping them safe and healthy. Can give medications or any kind. I am currently in school so it will be after school times. I can come out earlier depending on the day. I would love to work with you and your schedules as well! At your house I will follow your rules and try to take care of your pets as close to the way you do as possible. In my house animals are well taken care of and loved any time we are home and spoiled while they are out with us on adventures.

About: I will provide your best friend a good time going on walks and getting some exercise done. I’m responsible, I will care and love your best buddy as if they were my own family’s. I don’t own dogs myself but I have been caring for my cats for about 3 years now and I love dogs since I was little, there has always been dogs in my family and I have always loved and care for them as they were my own. I will make sure all your buddy’s individual needs are meet and taken care of while they are with me, I’m really attentive and patient too, I have experience with young pups and I’m not afraid of large dogs. I’m currently working part-time as a paraprofessional from Mon-fri and assisting college classes part-time as well only on Monday’s and Tuesday’s nights, so I can take care or your fur babies on Wed -Fri from 5 to 8pm and weekends during the mornings only from 8-11am. I will love to take care of your fur babies at their own home where they feel the most comfortable and safe in their own environment. I don’t want them feel more anxious or stressed out since they will be missing their parents already. I’m flexible so I can adapt pretty well to their daily routines and provide all the attention they need. My goal is to keep them as happy as possible during this time to make them feel safe and comfortable as they are with you since this is the most important thing for them.
About: I grew up with animals always in our house! My family had dogs (from border collies to dachshunds), cats, rats, and fish. I have also frequently done pet sitting for my extended family members. These family member have asked me to care for dogs (from great danes to boston terriers), kittens, lizards, and guinea pigs. I love to spend time with animals, whether it is by hanging out on the couch or going on walks. I especially enjoying spending time with older pets, I enjoy supporting them when they start to slow down and always make sure they’re comfortable. I am currently working part time at a school for adults with disabilities, some of the students I also provide care for at their homes when needed. I am looking for some opportunities to spend time with animals, as I miss having them around since I can’t keep one in my apartment. When caring for pets, I am always willing to come to their home and support them in anyway I can. I enjoy taking them on walks if needed, or even just hanging out at the home so they aren’t alone. I love any details given and only appreciate when people want the best care for their pets. I want to be someone who clients feel will take excellent care of their pets.
“This sitter did fantastic with my pets. I received pictures and they looked happy and well looked after. He had strong communication, detail oriented, and was very compassionate to my pets. 10/10”

West Haven dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a wonderful experience! She was always on time, incredibly loving and attentive with our dog, and her communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated with the sweetest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our dogs were well cared for and happy. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Amazing and responsive sitter, truly above and beyond. My dog had an emergency (stressed induced diarrhea) and Emma was able to bring him to the vet and take care of him while I was gone, she cleaned up after him and kept me updated the whole time. I’ve never had such a compassionate and quick to respond sitter before, you are truly getting an absolute saint if you book her! Thank you so much Emma
This was our first time using Rover and we are very happy with the experience and with Becca. We could see that she genuinely cared for our girls, which eased our fears about leaving them at home and gave us peace of mind. We will definitely use Becca again for future care of our precious fur babies.

I have never used a pet sitter so I did this with some apprehension. I instantly liked Candace and I could see she would be a perfect fit for my Izzy. When I returned a week later, Izzy was in great spirits and bonded with Candace. Candace was the best choice and I am a forever client!

Danii is a rockstar! She did drop in visits on my 2 pups while we were on vacation. She was absolutely amazing and we will for sure use her for all future needs. I loved that she communicated well and took lots of pictures. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pups as well!
