“Hope did a wonderful job checking in on my Marca. Sent a bunch of pictures for me and communicated clearly what she did while at my place. Would book again!”
“Things fell through with my previous sitter (that wasn’t from Rover). I reached out to Kaity last minute, as I was scrambling to find someone to watch my chihuahua. She came within 1.5 hours of contacting her to do a meet and greet with Bailey since is weary of strangers from a traumatic past. She even moved around some her schedule to accommodate us. He was reserved at first, but quickly warmed up to Kaity. On day 2, he was already waiting at the door for her and greeting her with toys and kisses. I get cute pictures and a little summary of how their time together went. I would definitely recommend Kaity to anyone and I have her on weekly repeat visits. We are happy!”
“Heather was a Rock Star!! Smokey Bear developed a problem on the day we left on Vacation and after my son took him to our vet to diagnose the problem, she excelled at taking extra care of him - making sure he took his pills and everything else that was related to his problem. She has been his caregiver for several years and he's so fond of her that when we come back home he barely notices!! She's a wonder.”
About: I’m a neuroscience student who loves spending time outdoors and staying active. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I am very patient and can handle difficult situations very well under pressure which makes me a good candidate for any character of dog. I take am taking 2 chemistry courses over the summer so early morning walks or mid to late afternoon would fit perfectly into my schedule. I am fit to walk and tire out any energetic dog that may be causing trouble and I am willing to learn ways to combat bad behavior to make day to day life easier.
About: I've been hanging out with animals all my life; taking care of others' animal babies for close to a decade. No mess is too gnarly; I've popped pills and dispensed hairball meds. Love a long neighborhood walk or a long snuggle. Let me help take care of your fur babies! I do not have pets of my own; I much prefer being the fun pet aunt! I have siblings and close friends with dogs and cats, who I've spent a lot of time with and pet sit often. I'm flexible! Not having my own pets also means I have plenty of time and energy to spend with yours. I work full time M-F, but most weeks I work from home 3 days a week, and that can be your home with your fur baby. Whether I'm popping in for a walk or a potty break or spending several nights with your fur baby, they will be my priority. I love a long neighborhood walk, snuggles, and will take the time to play. Let me know if your pet has any special needs or routine, and I will be sure to keep things consistent. I'll work with you to be sure I understand your pupper or kitten's daily and weekly routine--feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any other necessities.
“Misty took wonderful care of our boy while we were gone! Lots of attention, pets and walks. Provided lots of pictures and updates. Very trustworthy, we knew our pup was in good hands. Hopefully she can take care of him again next time we are in need!”
“Katie took wonderful care of our two dogs, making sure they had ample breaks during the day, sticking to their schedule and going above and beyond to make sure the pups were comfortable while we were gone. A+ all around, thank you Katie!!!”
“Asa was wonderful. I received pictures and updates. She took time with each of my cats as they have to be kept separate. I came home to each of my cats being well taking care of, everything being tidy, and both of the kitties having attention. I am so happy with Asa’s care!”
“Mike and Beth are great. Have had several sitters in the past and he was the first sitter that was on top of everything and knew how to follow instructions. He gave awesome updates, which was highly appreciated . Was flexible when I had to make changes to reservation. Highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of young and old dogs for neighbors, friends, and family members since I was 16. I am always sure to take them on plenty of walks, tend to their nutritional needs, and spoil them with attention. Leave me an overview of expectations/directions and your home and furry friends will be in great hands! I work in Physical Therapy but my mornings and evenings are free and I will give your pets full care and attention before and after work, including overnight stays! If my Rover schedule is free, book me! Morning bathroom break Morning breakfast Evening walk depending on the weather Evening dinner Hangout and play at night -- I can accommodate most routines you may have your pets on throughout the day!
“Phoebe was available for a very last minute booking and took great care of our dog! She communicated frequently and sent pictures. We will definitely book Phoebe for drop in visits again!”
About: My pet care experience includes not only caretaking for my own dog and family friend's dogs over the years, but I also worked for a pet boarding and daycare facility for 2 years. This exposed me to knowledge about dog behavior, caretaking, playtime, and important details like specific needs of medicine and feeding methods for each dog in the facility of roughly 130 dogs. Additionally, my pup Bella has had a lifelong experience of many diagnoses such as mega-esophagus, acid reflux, and environmental allergies which have all required very specific feedings and medicines for her. Safe to say after all of these formative experiences, I'm very attentive to all specifics that your pup needs while you are away and happy to do it!! I'm a lifelong animal lover and I love to treat my pup like royalty (as shown in my pictures), because she is one of the most important things in my life. I will treat your pup with the same love and care as my own because they deserve it <3 I'm currently job searching for an additional part-time role to do with Rover, so my availability is pretty open right now for dog walking, dog sitting, etc. Before I do any caretaking for your dog, I do require meeting the dog(s) with the owner present on a separate day to make sure the dog is familiar and comfortable with me before I come over to take care of the dog(s). When I come over to your house to either walk or dog sit, I will first make sure I read all instructions carefully for what the pet owner wants & needs for their pup. Then, I will walk/dog-sit with them and send you some pictures of your pet to give you updates on how they are doing. I love it when people send me pictures/updates while I'm away from my dog, because it makes me feel secure knowing they are living well. Please let me know if you would like this or prefer not. Lastly, I will give them some pets and cuddles as desired and some play time so they have some enrichment time while I'm over. And of course, will make sure to lock up the house as instructed by the pet owner.
“Kelly looked after our two kitties again and did a great job! She was very communicative, spent a lot of time playing with them to make them feel comfortable, and sent a lot of really good pictures to keep us updated. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve been up around animals my whole life and have experience with all different types. I’m comfortable with pets at every stage, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m reliable when it comes to sticking to routines, whether that’s specific feeding times, multiple daily walks, or just giving your pet the attention they’re used to. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will treat your pet like my own while you’re away. I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime. I also go on several walks throughout the day for dogs that need extra exercise or energy release. I’m available for boarding in my home, as well as drop-in visits and check-ins throughout the day depending on your pet’s needs and routine. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run around and explore, and I always make sure pets are supervised and comfortable while in my care. I’m happy to follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, crate routines, or special requests to help your pet feel at home. I can care for pets at my house or make visits to your home throughout the day to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.
“Mikayla took great care of my kitties while I was out of the country. My younger cat is especially wary of new people, but even she was snuggling up to Mikayla.”

Nicole did a fabulous dog with our 2 pugs. She is meticulous and shows up on time, every time. Our one pug can be very finicky and does not like to walk. But Nicole is patient and gentle. She always follows my instructions. The dogs love her. I would highly recommend her. She did drop in visits to let the dogs out of their crates, when I was gone from home 8 hours. She also sat outside, under their favorite tree, and let them observe their world.
This was my first time using Rover and I’m so happy I chose Corrine to help with my fur buddies. She is super bubbly and outgoing. She communicated with me every time she stopped over to let them out and sent photos so I could see them in the yard. She asked great questions and covered everything they needed. I highly recommended her to help with your fur buddies. She took excellent care of mine. I will being using her again!
This was my first time using Rover to have someone check on my dogs. I was a bit nervous of how it would go since my dogs get scared easily of new people, but Karen was very patient and attentive with them and overall did a fantastic job! She provided updates during each of the check ins and bonded with the dogs as the days went by. I would 100% recommend Karen as a dog sitter and if I need someone to watch my dogs again using Rover, Karen would be my first choice!
Rachelle helped take care of my 4 pets (2 cats, 2 dogs) almost daily for the past couple of months while I was at work. The pets all love her so much. She kept me updated about any abnormalities with my pets (scared of thunder, not wanting to eat, etc.) which was very helpful & kind of her to do. I will be a repeat client forever!
Anne was absolutely wonderful with our four month old puppy. He loves meeting new people, but is still very energetic (and teething). She was very patient with him and added in lots of playtime to tire him out. We will be highly recommending her to friends and family in the area!
Carolyn is an amazing pet sitter/walker. I have a difficult pup with a lot of anxiety. Carolyn is so patient with her and does such a great job reading her body language and mood. Carolyn knows exactly how to interact with my pup to give her time to potty and as much attention as she’s willing to take. Treats definitely help. Carolyn is also reliable and communicative, which I really appreciate. The photos, videos, and other updates give me peace of mind while I’m at work. Highly recommend Carolyn if you’re looking for a pet sitter.
Diane went above and beyond to make certain my Sheltie and Ragdoll cat were well taken care of, loved and happy. I especially enjoyed the pics of Charlie she would send twice a day. I know now who to request when I need someone to care for them again. Thanks Diane!
Emily was fantastic! We have 1 very reactive dog so it is a bit of a challenge to get her acclimated to new people. Emily had such a calming presence and was so patient with our dog. She communicated very well and followed all instructions. We have already booked Emily for more trips and visits.
Basia is awesome!! She dropped in to walk our dogs for a couple of days, plus a couple of days full time care. She sent pictures and communication during those times. I felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care! We will hire her again and highly recommend her!!
