“Cherie is great and dependable, she took good care of Kobe and sent cute pictures while we were away. I've booked her multiple times and she's always been responsive and responsible. Thank you Cherie!!”
“Lexus thank you so much for watching our pup gunner! We really appreciate all that you did. From the photos, to the sweet gift of a bandanna with a card . Along with the sweet paper that gave us all the updates we are very grateful! Truly recommend Lexus she was punctual, professional and just overall a 10.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience with Gabriela! This was our first time using Rover so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. She stayed at our house, sent regular pictures of our very happy dogs, and left the place spotless. 10/10 recommend.”
“Throughout my time away, Mya maintained excellent communication, providing regular updates and even sending adorable pictures and videos of my pup. It was incredibly reassuring to know that my pups were still not only well-cared for but also enjoying their time under the watchful eye of such a dedicated and responsible pet sitter.”
“Wow- Wendy is so kind and thorough that we were blown away. She kept us totally updated on our dogs, loved on them so much, and left the house absolutely perfect. By far the best sitter we have found through Rover. Cannot thank her enough!”
“Rachel was great. All of my animals had the best care. Great communication with me through out her stay. She handled all 5 of our animals with much care. From my special needs cats to 2 stubborn dogs. I would highly recommend Rachel and look forward to using her again.”
“Christian did an excellent job! This is the second time Christian watched Shirley and I am at ease when he watches her. Communication is great and consistent! Thanks Christian! 🐕🦺”
“Mariah communicated beautifully with me. Lots of pictures of Sadee and her day. She stayed with Sadee most of time besides only a few hours at most. I came home to a happy pup, thanks Mariah!”
“It was a smooth process and an awesome experience for my peanut. It was a last minute one too and she was able to accommodate it and make it work. 100% satisfied and highly recommended!”
“Emmanuel is amazing. We have a crazy 7 cat household and he was so loving & caring with every one of them. Each cat has different needs, so I was worried about leaving them for a week but Emmanuel took great care of them & followed all their specific instructions. He sent us lots of pictures & he was always responsive. Our cats were obsessed with him & loved him. They were so relaxed & happy when we returned. Even Bert, our feral rehabilitated cat who is extremely skittish, came out of hiding for Emmanuel. And our cat Boo literally gave him hugs. I have moderate anxiety & mild OCD, so I was nervous about having a stranger in our house with our cats but Emmanuel made me feel at ease & took great care of everything. He was flexible, accommodating, & very kind. I can’t recommend him enough. Thanks for everything, Emmanuel!! Boo sends you a big hug.”
About: Animals have always been a huge passion of mine, and I have 5 years of professional experience working in two dog kennels. Through my work, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, personalities, and energy levels while handling feeding, medications, potty breaks, cleaning, walks, and daily care routines. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping owners updated along the way. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently have open availability, which allows me to fully focus on your pet’s care and routine while you’re away. Because I do not have another job at the moment, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and consistency throughout the day. I’m flexible with scheduling and committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times. I currently offer care in clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I understand how important trust is when inviting someone into your home, and I always strive to provide respectful, dependable, and attentive care. I do have pets at home, but they are well cared for by my parents while I’m away caring for clients’ pets, allowing me to fully focus on the animals in my care. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, communication, and making sure every pet feels loved and comfortable while their owners are away.
“Yosmar saved our vacation on super short notice. She took care of our dog who was getting over a little illness with kindness and caring. She communicated and sent us pics every day and made us feel very secure and relieved that he was in good hands. Will absolutely book her again in the future instead of formal boarding. Thank you Yosmar!”
About: Reliable and outgoing, I love animals of all sizes and shapes. From volunteering at shelters, to helping friends walk their dogs or caring for cats. I currently have a full time job, although I am available during the week days after 6pm and all weekend to play and care for your loved pets! I follow instructions very well and am detailed oriented. I like to send picture updates for extended care, or even after a one time daily walk! I’d like to make the most comfortable, easy and fun experience for owners and their pets.
“Amelia did such a wonderful job watching Maui and my home while I was away, I couldn’t recommend her more! She kept me updated on their walks and play time which are really important for Mauis energy levels. Amelia is kind, trustworthy and I certainly hope she can watch Maui again in the future!”
“Alannah did an AMAZING job watching our sweet old lady Chloe! We traveled out of state for a wedding and were nervous leaving our older dog behind - Alannah gave us such peace of mind while we were away, giving us updates daily and loving on our sweet girl. We 10/10 would recommend her for your pet!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my well-rounded experience and genuine attention to each pet’s individual needs. I have over 10 years of hands-on experience, including running my own pet walking and sitting business, so I’m very comfortable handling pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have specific experience with both young pets and seniors—whether that means helping reinforce basic training and routines for puppies, or providing gentle, patient care for older pets who may need medications, slower walks, or extra comfort. I’m also very detail-oriented, so I follow feeding schedules, instructions, and any special care needs exactly as requested. On top of that, I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine easily because I’m already used to being consistent, organized, and responsible with animal care. I’m able to plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, litter care, playtime, and any special instructions so pets stay on their normal routine. I make time daily for check-ins, attention, and monitoring their well-being, and I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule as needed to make sure each pet gets proper care and attention. In a client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I stick to feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty routines, exercise or playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I also make sure to keep the space clean, respect the home, and give pets attention and companionship so they don’t feel stressed or alone. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment where they have access to food, water, safe resting spaces, and regular playtime. I closely monitor their behavior and needs to make sure they are comfortable, secure, and well cared for throughout their stay.
About: I'm great with senior dogs and administer medication if needed. I walk, toilet, and spend time with the dogs under my care. I love dogs! :) I have always had a dog growing up in our family. I, myself, do not own a dog. But having one growing up made me familiar with including the pet in my daily schedule. Letting the dog out to use the bathroom, feeding, walking, and play time! I follow the dogs normal routine best as I can. I am there for the pets and I provide the best care possible for them.
Alafaya pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mya was so great with our two pups while we were gone for 9 days! She was very patient with our dog who is slower to warm up to people and sent us lots of updates, pictures and videos. We came back to the house with everything perfect and the dogs happy and cared for!
We had Cherie care for our dog Sophie overnight in our home. She is a great pet sitter and bonded easily with Sophie. It is really nice having someone we trust! She also takes Sophie to her house to give her some outside stimulation and brings her home so she can sleep in our home. Thanks Cherie!
Emmanuel was great, I had no worries while we were gone. He stayed at our house with our dog and cat. We received updates and pictures. The house was kept clean, the mail brought in. Very pleasant to deal with and very understanding. Would definitely recommend and will use again
Lani did a fantastic job sitting for our dog and 2 cats! She is extremely trustworthy and we’ll definitely have her come back for all future sittings! She is very detailed oriented, communicates while sitting with updates, pictures and any questions she may have. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!
Gabriella was absolutely amazing, and we feel so lucky to have found her! From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative and thoughtful. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand, which made us feel so comfortable, and both Jeremy and Milly loved her right away. While we were away for a wedding in Miami, Gabriella went above and beyond. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she really stuck to their routines and schedules. Jeremy and Milly are used to having someone around most of the time since my husband works from home, and Gabriella made sure they had that same level of attention and care. She stayed with them 24/7, took Jeremy on daily walks, and spent time outside with him while he sunbathed. It was so clear that they were both spoiled, loved, and incredibly well taken care of. She took care of them like they were her own. She also took great care of our home while we were away. We came back to everything clean, organized, and just as we left it, which made returning home even more stress-free. Gabriella was incredibly considerate and even stayed with them until she knew we were safely back home, which meant so much to us. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, communicative, and will treat your pets (and your home!) like her own, Gabriella is it. We will absolutely be booking with her again! 🐾💛
Morgan was an excellent pet sitter for Domino always attentive to make sure his needs were met including walking, feeding and playing wih him. She went above and beyond with making sure the house was clean and everything was organized before she left. Would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.
Makayla went above and beyond for us as a sitter. She accepted a rush booking and took the time to do a meet and greet before we left. We ended up with cancelled flights and she was kind enough to stay with our pets a few extra days. She sent pictures every day, kept us updated, and was very kind and professional in her communication. She took excellent care of our two dogs and two cats as well as our house while we were away. I can’t thank her enough for coming through for us and I highly recommend her as a pet sitter. -Anna
