“First time hiring Keira and I will definitely hire her again. I was able to stop worrying and enjoy my trip knowing she was taking care of my cats while I was away. My kitties have complicated feeding and watering instructions that Keira followed perfectly. Even my very shy and scared kitty is relaxed and social with Keira which says everything.”

“Ava is absolutely amazing! I had flight changes and a small home renovation going on during her stay and she was nothing but understanding, accommodating and reassuring! I will 100% rebook with Ava! Thank you so much for everything!”

“Kelly is the absolute best! She eases all my worries while I’m away from my puppy. She’s very understanding of puppy behavior, and helps to enforce the things I’m teaching him. She goes above and beyond helping clean up accidents he’s left. She’s great at communicating with me. And my puppy is clearly very happy and tired out when she leaves!”

“I highly recommend hiring Cate for your next pet sitting needs! She not only provided great care for our 10 year old cat but also sent us frequent feedback on her visits, which was very important to us, since we were travelling abroad. It was a pleasure meeting Cate and knowing that our cat was in such good hands!”

“For our first time using Rover I’m so grateful and impressed by how easy Kennedy made everything! A true professional and confident especially given we had 5 dogs! I’d recommend Kennedy to anyone and will definitely be rebooking in the future! Thanks, Kennedy!”

About: I will treat your fur kids as my own. Family friends and neighbors have always asked me if I could help them out and I loved doing it. I work full-time with a schedule that is typically either 7:00 AM–2:00 PM or 1:00 PM–9:00 PM. This flexibility allows me to spend quality time with pets before and after work, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I carefully consider my schedule before accepting bookings to ensure I can meet each pet’s needs and maintain their regular routine. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I care for every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence, I’ll make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
“Andy was great. He's very personable and was always on time to take care of Gatsby, and was even able to adjust times for me on short notice for one of the days. The pictures he posted were good, too, and I can tell my dog was smiling in them.”

About: I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and gentle seniors, and I focus on creating a safe, loving environment. I’m reliable, flexible, and always go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I am currently taking courses in dog grooming and assistance dog training, which allows me to better understand each pet’s needs and provide even higher-quality care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, I love making time for walks, play, and cuddles every day. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily fit in drop-ins, walks, or overnight care to make sure pets get the attention and love they deserve. In my home, pets get a safe, cozy, and loving environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely feeding, exercise, and any special instructions, so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space. My goal is always to make them happy and stress-free while you’re away.
“Ollie absolutely loved Olivia! She gave him all the cuddles and was super sweet! She communicated quickly and answered any questions I had while I was out of town! I would definitely recommend booking with her!”


About: Growing up around dogs my whole life, I’m that girl who can handle even the wildest pups. From tiny terriers to big goofballs, I make walks fun and safe! My energy level sets me apart. I’m the walker who doesn’t just stroll, I turn every walk into an adventure with games, training tricks, and real playtime. Your dog won’t just get exercise, they’ll come home happy and tired! I just wrapped up a travel nursing contract, so my schedule’s wide open right now! I’m super flexible, available mornings, afternoons, and evenings most days of the week. Whether you need daily walks or last-minute help, I’m your girl! I’m fully background-checked through Rover, insured, and always treat homes with complete respect! You can trust me to keep your space and your dog safe while I’m around!

About: Extensive experience caring for both puppies and kittens as well as older pets. These animals have ranged from hyper energetic to very relaxed. My main focus is always to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I am currently available at anytime during the week, which allows me to provide consistent attention, exercise, and care to any pets who need it. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention to keep them comfortable and stress free.
About: I've lived with dogs and cats my whole life, and they’ve always been part of my home! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from puppies to giants! Whether it’s administering medications or going on walks, I always tailor my care to each dog. Cats hold a special place in my heart too. I know how important it is to give them space and time to adjust—especially during changes in environment or routine. I’m patient, observant, and always respectful of their boundaries. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m excited to offer reliable, loving care for your pets. Weekends I’m very much available at any time! Weekdays I can do Monday or Friday with few exceptions on Wednesdays. During the week, very early mornings or afternoon and evening visits work best. I currently will only work as a dog walker and cat sitter, and will be caring for your dog or cat in their own home or a park/neighborhood. Depending on the dog’s preferences and medical needs, I will tailor the experience directly for your pet. From cuddles to fast jogs, your pet will be in a safe and comfortable environment! Any extra details or accommodations will be greatly exercised. As per the cat, a gentle approach will always be used! My goal is to make the cat feel comfortable with a new person who can give medications, feed, clean litter pans, and cuddle up!

About: **About me** Hello pet friends! My name is Taylor and I currently live with my wife, son, two daughters, and one dog, Charlie! I work as a high school math teacher and my wife telecommutes from home. We love Charlie who is an intricate part of our family! Nothing is better than coming home and snuggling with the dog(s) on our couch! **About my home/services** We have a lovely 1800 sq. ft house with a dog that would love a companion for the day, night, or weekend! We keep our house clean except for the many dog toys which can be spread across the house while we play. We have a great outdoor area which is fully enclosed by fencing!! Great for playing fetch or just enjoying some sunshine! Between my wife and me, there will always be supervision of your pet. **About my neighborhood** We live in a culdesac which has very little traffic in a quiet neighborhood. Our backyard is our main method for dogs to use the restroom but we can always accomodate or walk dogs on leash through the neighborhood. **What to expect** Your dog can become part of our pack! We usually take our dog out to use the restroom every 3-4 hours. Charlie is a great snuggler and loves getting comfy on the couch. Additionally when feeling spunky we play fetch, tug of war, and run around the house! **Special rules or requests** Dogs must be friendly to our dog and be good with my son who is ten and my daughters who are 6 and 1 years old. If any of this sounds unsure, this might not be the fit for staying with us...Otherwise we can't wait! My wife is always home so we can accompany dogs 24/7. We have an enclosed backyard to accommodate many bathroom breaks. We make sure to keep close watch on all our visitors! We have one dog annd three kids and your dog will fit right into the pack! Whether your dog is active or like to snuggle on the couch we are ready!
“Lauren was amazing! We've lucked out and have been able to have family or friends come over to let our pups out when we have to be away for long periods of time, until now. We reached out to Lauren via Rover to come over and check on our pups. One was extremely worried about her presence and the other warmed up after a while. She is communicative and pleasent to talk with via the app. Her Rover Report Cards were detailed (with adorable pics) and helped put our minds at ease with a stranger caring for our pups. Thanks Lauren ?”

About: I have had a furry friend in my life in some form or another since I was very young. I have experience with both more reactive and friendly breeds and have no preference on the kinds I work with. I use patience and understanding to make them feel safe. I worked professionally as a dog walker and pet sitter for two years to multiple dogs and can bring love and affection to any animals in my care. I am responsible, punctual and a great communicator and can be an asset in caring for your dog or other animals while you are away or on a regular basis for walks. I work 4 nights a week from 3pm-11pm downtown. I am not opposed to early morning visits or late nights visits if required and am available for overnights. I do a walkthrough with owners of exact locations for all your pets, learn their quirks, the things they love and don’t like and what might come up during my stay with them. I answer all phone calls and texts from owners while they are away to ensure they feel safe and comfortable knowing their animals are properly cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish, ferrets) for over 10 years now! I have house sat, trained, walked, and more with these pets. I’m patient and compassionate for pets of all ages and sizes! I am also bilingual for any spanish speaking pet parents :) I’m currently working a full time job but I can do drop ins early morning (6-8 am) and after work (6-10pm). I have Sundays/Mondays off. I am willing to commute up to 25-30 minutes if needed. I am cautious of others space and would act the way a guest should be. I am aware of privacy and will be the utmost responsible of your home and pet! Being respectful of one’s fur baby is number one!

Makayla is the best! I left last moment for an out of town concert, and she was there to help by doing some drop-ins for my dog. She spent some time with him, bonded with him, and took him on a long walks. The next time I need a sitter, I’ll be reaching out for her again!
