“Skyler did such a great job catsitting for our two kitties!! She was very communicative and sent pictures while we were gone. Skyler made sure she knew how to administer our cats medications before we left, and we felt confident in her with her past experience. I would definitely recommend Skyler to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter:)”

“Jessica was amazing! Every visit she spent quite a bit of time with Archer and sent 1-2 pictures each day, sometimes showing him eating and sometimes showing him getting cuddles. They clearly got along well, and he seemed happy and healthy when we returned. Jessica is quick to respond to texts, and even checked in with us on the last day to make sure we'd get back on time and Archer would be okay.”

About: For over 14 years, I cared for two deeply loved dogs - Charlie and Indiana - through every stage of their lives, including special diets, medications, and the realities of aging. I’ve handled everything from leash pulling to pet reactivity, separation anxiety to senior care, and understand how unique each animal’s needs can be. Since losing both of them, I’ve felt the pull to keep sharing that care. I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet - it brings peace when you’re away. I’ve been that person for family and friends for years, and I’d be honored to be that for you, too. In addition to providing a fun and safe environment, I have two goals when pet sitting: 1. Providing care that feels like home, even when you’re away 2. Becoming your pet’s second favorite person! I work remotely with a relatively flexible schedule. I will be home with your pet the entire workday, making walks, potty breaks and snuggles easy! I can typically cater the rest of my schedule to your pet’s needs as well. They’re the priority when I’m sitting ❤️ I know how important it is to give each pet the unique care they need. Following your care instructions and preferences is my guarantee. No matter your pet’s age, size or needs, they will be safe, snuggled and secure in the way that suits them best.

About: Loving pet parent, foster pet mom, and experienced pet sitter. I have run my own drop-in pet care service for pets of film workers for a year and I'm absolutely THRILLED to branch out and offer my services to pets in my immediate area on Rover! Pets of film workers need a little extra TLC because their moms and dads work such long hours (10-14 hours a day on average!), so the majority of my time has been spent honing my enrichment skills! I take great care to provide the best walks, play sessions, cuddles, etc to help dogs and kitties feel fulfilled while mom or dad are at work. Dog or cat, young or old, I would LOVE to welcome your fur babies to my roster and pack our sessions with enrichment! :) As a loving pet mom of 5 including 3 rescue dogs and 2 rescue cats, I specialize in multipet households and know just how important it is to give each pet their own specific attention. No 2 dogs or 2 cats are the same, and I make sure to take time to listen intuitively to each dog and each cat to match my care routine to their needs as well as the needs you, their loving and amazing parents, specifically request for them! Need a rigorous walk for your high energy dog? I've got you! Need a quiet sitter to spend time with your kitty while they eat? I'm on it! No matter what your request - you can rest assured that I will bring endless understanding, love, cuddles, and TLC to the table to make sure your babies feel safe, secure, entertained, and loved in our time together. I will respect every detail and make sure to handle every single pet with care. Special Needs and Senior Experience: My oldest baby is a 17-year-old special needs senior kitty named Catun. She requires daily medicated eye drops, a special diet, and a whole lot of TLC during mealtime due to neurological damage. We've nursed her back to health through some dire times, and despite all odds, she is the happiest, healthiest, and most amazing kitty! I absolutely ADORE caring for her and welcome any of your complex senior or special needs pets as a result. I wouldn't change a single quirk about Catun - she is perfect and taking care of her is the joy of my life. If you have any special needs pets - particularly seniors with special needs, you can trust me with their care and I'm so happy to help! I will listen to them and to you, and love them like my own. Nothing gives me more fulfillment than caring for animals. I can't wait to care for your pets! I'm an entrepreneur and maker- jewelry making and pet care are my full-time job! I am flexible and available outside of the care and needs of my own pack. I often times won't be available for vacation stays due to my husband's film industry schedule, but never hesitate to reach out with last minute needs - if I have capacity, I'm happy to help! I am available for drop-in visits in your home and neighborhood! I offer on-leash walks when it isn't too hot for dog paws and yard plays in your fenced yards or in your home anytime. I do not offer pet sitting in my own home at this time. I can always come to you!

“Rhiannon watched our cats during our Christmas vacation and we knew they were in great hands. She was very sweet with them, and we were so grateful to have her as our sitter. We definitely recommend Rhiannon, and will go to her first if we need pet sitting services in the future. Thanks again Rhiannon! -Aaron and Emily”

“Leslie was so wonderful to my babies. I cannot praise her enough! She helped me when I was in a bind which will not be forgotten. She took pictures of her playing with them with frequent updates, as well. She is definitely worth 5 stars. If there was 6 stars, she would get them!”

Rachel M.

“Greg is amazing! He was able to help us out last minute and our Kenzie loved him. He spent time with both my cat and dog and gave them cuddles and attention when we were away. Highly recommend him!”

Samantha M.

“Monique took excellent care of my dog while I was away! Shoelace took to her immediately and seemed very happy in all of the pictures Monique sent. It was so great to come home to a happy, relaxed pup and know she was well looked after. I will definitely hire Monique again in the future! Thanks, Monique :)”

About: I have had dogs for the last 10 years. Big and small I love to play and make sure all their needs are accommodated so they are happy tail waggers at the end of the day. I work full time however have plenty of time in the after noon to be able to care for your pets after 630pm. I also am free on Tuesdays and Sundays and Saturdays before 2 and after 630pm. I have a fenced yard giving your pet the room to run in and I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I do have a fur baby myself who loves to meet new friends so they can be buds.

“Danielle was very compassion and caring with my little pup! She follows instructions very well and is easy to communicate with! Will be reaching out again to have her visit my pup! Thank you!”

About: Since I started providing pet care through Rover, I have gained experience caring for older dogs, puppies, dogs with special hearing needs, and dogs and cats with strict allergies or dietary restrictions. I have grown up taking care of my family's dogs and cats and am experienced with large, medium, and small dogs, old and young dogs and cats, and pets with a variety of backgrounds and stories. I've been dog-walking and pet-sitting for neighbors and family friends intermittently since I was 11. I have also helped friends pet-sit on Rover before and I love getting to know new dogs and cats because each pet is so unique. I work Monday-Thursday from 8am-4:30pm, which is why I list myself as fully available Thursday evenings-Sundays. I am passionate about spending time with and caring for animals, but my current home does not allow pets. Walking and being active outside is very important to my daily routine already and I'd love to help make walking and being outside part of your pet's routine as well! Having grown up with a range of dog personalities, I understand that unpredictable scenarios and reactions can happen and that it's important to be very alert and focused when taking care of pets - especially when they are around new people.

“Our cat really seem to enjoy having someone stop in and visit with him while we were out of town with family. Julie was very respectful of our home, always made sure our house was locked/alarmed when she left after the visit and treated our fur baby really well. She's very nice, a good communicator and was accommodating, not that we asked for a lot. She also agreed to water my plants on one of the visits during the week that we were gone. We even got adorable pictures of our cat on our Rover cards during her visits. We had a really reassuring experience having her as our pet sitter. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be contacting her for our next trip out of town.”

About: What can I say, but that I LOVE dogs, cats, and all animals in general! I grew up with a mutt--Yogi--my best friend for the 13 formative years of my life. I still dream of him sometimes. Since then, I have owned two more mutts and multiple cats....but no personal pets at this moment, owing to my present living situation. So...I get my animal fix by house and animal sitting. I have stellar references for my services that I am more than happy to provide for you. I am a semi-retired teacher, though still teach English online, part-time. Prior to this, I taught elementary school for many years. Currently, I also spend more time care-giving pets, as it affords me the perfect opportunity to still work online, and at the same time be with the creatures that I adore! I greatly look forward to becoming part of your extended family by lovingly and wholeheartedly caring for your pet when such help is needed by you. I look forward to meeting you soon! As an English teacher working online part time, I have PLENTY of time to care for, walk and play (and generally spend quality time) with your pets. I only care for animals in my clients' homes. As a trustworthy, diligent and meticulously clean woman, I can guarantee that you will be happy with how I treat both your home and your precious pets.
