“Oh my gosh Sean is amazing! He’s been caring for my baby for months and Oliver ADORES him. He’s punctual, thorough, communicative and very accommodating to my crazy schedule! I’m honestly a little upset he’s starting his rover adventure because we can’t have our VIP treatment anymore BUT I’m so grateful others will get to experience such great care form this gentle giant! 5 stars and highly recommend!!! Thank you so much for everything Sean!!!”

“Emily is an amazing pet care giver. She reliably walked and/ or played with my dog for two weeks. She was very patient with him in the beginning as they got to know one another and now they are best buds. She updated me daily on his care and habits. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her services.”

About: I grew up with dogs (mostly German shepherds with the golden retriever or terrier thrown in there). My husband is not a dog person, but I love them so I'm hoping to be able to get my dog fix by helping people who find themselves away from their fur babies for extended periods. I will play with and love on your dog while they enjoy the comfort of being in a familiar environment. I will give your dog the same level of care that I would expect for my own child. My kids are getting more independent, leaving me with lots of time during the day to play with your pups! I am an avid runner and would love to give your fur babies lots of love and exercise. I am comfortable following the instructions you leave to the letter. I am calm and friendly, letting animals decide how they feel about me in their own time. One of my highest goals is to build trust with your dog and you.

“Malcolm has gone above and beyond! He genuinely loves dogs, and is very patient and great with Willie! So thankful for taking care of my boy.”

“Patricia is the best! She is so sweet and caring for our girl, Penny, and is willing to adapt and shift her schedule to help us with all of our last-minute work schedule changes. She is a life saver in helping us care for Penny!”

About: I have past experience in administering medicine including insulin and pills, as well as cleaning litter boxes, picking up dog poop, and feeding bearded dragons. I'm a college student working at a restaurant, but I am available throughout the day between school and work, and at nights. Overall pet sitting fits into my schedule just as well as any average person. I have a cat in my home who is vaccinated and well cared for, so if a pet is coming to my home it must be OK around cats, my cat is also used to dogs and other animals, although I would prefer to watch animals at their house. I care for them by feeding them according to their schedule, always providing fresh water, and taking them on any necessary walks, or runs, and of course cleaning up the poop or puke that occurs.

“Rose helped me out in a pinch with my puppy Chase. Rose responded promptly to the request, came to meet us and receive instructions. Rose was very kind, calm and loving with Chase. He loved her and I would absolutely use her again! Thanks!”

“So great and kind. I had a unique situation where he came to my hotel and sat with my pup while I was at an appointment at John’s Hopkins until my sister could come get my pup for me. Highly recommend.”

“Adrienne is awesome! She genuinely cares for your dog as if it’s her own. I have been using her for the last month and will continue to do so! Thanks for everything:)”

“Michelle was a great dog walker! She showed up on time, communicated well, and rolled with changes in the weather. Most important, our dog loved her!”

About: Hi there, my name is Mercedes. I've had family dogs for my whole life and absolutely can't get enough of them - I've had experience with multiple breeds and sizes as well as ages. Right now in this stage of life, I work full time and try to be as open/flexible as possible. I am also pregnant so caring for larger dogs is a little more difficult. I can work around your schedule so send me a message to work out the details. I’ve had such a great experience on Rover and really love all the dogs I’ve gotten to look after so far. Please let me know about your dogs exercise needs and how to best care for them! I currently have a cat who is not the biggest fan of dogs, so it’s fun to care for dogs on Rover when they’re parents are at work or out of town :) I currently work full time, but I work fully remote so I am flexible around your pets routine. Please let me know details when you book! I do not offer services in my own home, but will follow all of your home rules when it comes to safety and boarding. Please let me know details when you book.

“If you need assistance with your animal, Heaven is an awesome choice. My dog actually miss her when he thinks she should be there to take him for his walk. I believe it is wonderful the way she bonds with her human and animal clientele.”

“Delena is great with Koda and Colson. They had an instant connection. She puts on their leash and is off on their walk. They already know that she is there to take them out. Will continue to work with her.”

About: Since the age of 6 I have taken care of many animals such as dogs, cats, ferrets, chickens, and goats. I also enjoy hiking and tons of exercise. I joined the app in hopes of gaining a friend to enjoy the scenery with. Due to having many different classes at different times of the day I get many breaks. Within these breaks I usually take walks on my own to decompress from school. A friend told me she used Rover as well and I thought might as well have a furry friend join me on my walks and enjoy the sunshine too. I have pet sat for neighbors and friends for many years and feel I am very respectful of their homes. While working at a clients home I feel communication is key to build trust and that their house should be the same when I leave as when I entered prior to sitting.

“Valerie was a great sitter for my dog and it was easy leaving knowing he was in good hands! I received plenty of messages and pictures after walks so I knew what they were up to every day. I can't recommend Valerie highly enough!”

Claire J.

“Makana always does a great job and is super flexible - which has been a life saver for my boyfriend and I who’s schedules change a lot! So happy we found her to help us out with our pup!”

About: I’ve taken care of my senior dog for four years before she passed away. This includes feeding, bathing, brushing, meeting her potty needs and walking. I also pet sit for two dogs when their owner is out of town. I work for a restaurant during the morning or afternoon shift for roughly 6 hours. I can work in between those times and I only have one shift a day. (Some days are completely open!) I am very good about respecting spaces and following directions. I usually walk dogs twice a day around the neighborhood; however, I will follow whatever directions are given. I love giving attention to pets, especially dogs that need some extra care. Adopting my dog as a senior gave me a special love for all senior dogs!

“Becca is wonderful! I have a VERY timid dog and we just moved to the area. Becca was able to put my dog at ease and make his experiences with her positive ones. I feel so much better about going into the office every day knowing Becca is coming to care for my fur baby.”
