“This is the third time we have enlisted and entrusted CJ to care for our Blue Heller, Banjo. She does an excellent job of providing great care, sending photos during her in-home visit, and communicating with us while we're away. Having CJ drop in to check on Banjo and keep him active gives us definite peace of mind when we have to leave our sweet boy home for a few days. Would highly recommend CJ's Rover services.”


“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!”


“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!”


“Highly recommend! During my trip, she provided regular updates and adorable photos. She went above and beyond by playing with my cats, keeping the litter box clean, and fed them appropriately. :)”


“Gabriella has taken care of our pups and cat two different times now and they're always well cared for. We get nice check-in notes and photos. Definitely would recommend. Thanks again, Gabriella!”


About: With 30+ years caring for my own pets and 15 years sitting for friends, I bring gentle, attentive care to cats and dogs alike. Belly rubs, cuddles, and kindness are always included. I prioritize comfort, routine, and emotional well-being—especially for shy, or sensitive pets. I’m currently in a relocation phase and not working full-time, so my schedule is wide open for pet care. I love spending time with animals—whether it’s drop-in cuddles, playtime, or checking in on their routines. I treat each visit like a little ritual of comfort and joy, tailored to their unique needs. I offer drop-in care only and do not host pets in my home. During visits, I create a calm, nurturing environment tailored to your pet’s routine and emotional needs. I focus on gentle engagement—playtime, cuddles, and reassurance—while also keeping an eye on food, water, litter, and any medications or requests. Each visit is customized with loving attention to detail.

About: I love all animals! There aren’t any that I can think of that I wouldn’t care for in a home. I’ve been taking care of animals since a child and currently have 2 dogs and 2 ducks and a fish. I can also care for rodents and reptiles. I have open availability for all jobs. I prefer to either drop in and out or board them at my house as needed due to my own animals. At home, we have a large fenced yard and I walk our dogs daily. I feed according to your specifications and am flexible to your pets needs. At your place, I like to go over your pet's favorite things to do there and see where the toys are kept!

“Vanessa visited with my girls while I was away, and took the best care of them. They were instantly comfortable with her and Vanessa took care in giving them the attention and play time they need before their dinner, keeping them happy during a lonely time :) thank you Vanessa!”


“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 is gonna set me aside from the rest is my patients and ability to actually work with all animals no matter size/sex or breed. Well, perfectly because I'm without employment so I am home with my 2 dogs all day anyways. One is senior and the other a puppy Well first my yard has 3 separate yards all fenced off from each other. Plenty of room to run and extra furniture for lazy times.

About: I have experience with taking care of small and medium sized dog’s of all kinds, plus I have experience with cat’s and even live stock experience! I charge for all animals being watched, if you add more animals you will have to pay for them I am currently available anytime, I don’t have anything going on right now my availability is open every day for drop in visits, dog walking etc! My cat loves attention and companionship from anyone, he love’s to play and be brushed as well as eat and take naps with me, he loves to sit and listen to me play guitar as well I am free all the time right now so please let me know! And I willl set up a meet and greet and then we will go from there! I always make sure everyone's fur babies are well cared for! I stop by and spend time with them, give them food and water as needed and I love playing with animals!

About: My hands-on experience with all kinds of pets means your pet gets personalized care tailored to their needs! I've spent the last five years learning each animal's unique needs and quirks. I am currently on break from school for the summer so I have all the time in the world to care and play with pets! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I follow their routines closely. I make sure to provide fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, and, of course, lots of love and attention! I also handle any necessary clean-up and make sure to leave the house just as I found it.

About: Hi! My name is Alyssa Rivera, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 4 years. From playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing a little extra TLC, I’ve had the joy of working with animals of all ages and personalities. I’ve provided daily walks, feeding, medication administration and plenty of playtime and cuddles. Whether it’s a weekend pet-sitting job or a regular walking schedule, I treat every pet as if they were my own—loving, patient, and always attentive to their unique needs. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and make sure their furry companions are happy, healthy, and safe. I am currently a stay-at-home parent with a highly flexible schedule, and I have reliable childcare in place to ensure I can give my full attention to caring for your dog or cat. I maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding according to schedule, ensuring fresh water is always available, providing daily exercise or playtime, administering medication if needed, and keeping the pet’s environment clean (like litter boxes or bedding). I also offer companionship to help reduce stress while their owner is away and provide regular updates to keep owners reassured.

“Erin was so communicative, and clearly so full of love for critters! I would absolutely recommend her if you’re looking for confidence in knowing your furry loved ones will be cared for like they are her own.”


About: I have always been around dogs my whole life, I currently have two fur babies of my own. I have a lot of love for dogs in general, and I would love to take care of your baby as well. I currently work in the mornings, I am available after 3 PM until 10 PM. I am also available all day on weekends if needed. I have experience with larger dogs making it easier to be able to restrain and crate a dog if needed. I am able to accommodate all sizes to offer a comfortable experience for any dog.

About: I've cared for pets since I was 8. Grew up with fish, cats, dogs, and some reptiles. I had a neighbor who had horses and a goose, and I'd help with them as well. I've cared for old and young animals, at the same time. I am not afraid of snakes or rats. I have a very limited sense of smell, so general animal odors aren't a problem for me. I work part time as of now, and have plenty of time to look after animals. My work shifts are on Wednesdays and Fridays and span from 8am-2pm, so I have plenty of availability. I will go to classes in the fall, and will update when I have that schedule. I have a fenced in yard that my two dogs love. There is a small pond, local birds love to play in it. Sometimes our neighbor's cats come over and sunbathe in the soil. I have plenty of toys for the dogs, and am very affectionate with animals, but if an animal is nervous because I'm new to them, not to worry, I will give them space and time to adjust. Strangers are scary, and they have every right to be skeptical.
