“Erica was fantastic! I trust her so much with my cat, Smudge who was happy and well cared for when I returned from my trip. Erica was communicative and understanding.”
“Wonderful! Thank you, Monica for watching after our cats while we were away. Great communication and updates after each visit with pics of the cats!! Perfect.”
“Lucy is our go-to to ensure our pups are taken care of when we’re away for an extended period. She takes great care of the dogs and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with our high maintenance geriatric dogs.”
“Christie took great care of our furbabies (one dog, one cat), and they loved seeing her when she came for her drop-in visits. She identified a problem with our garden irrigation and communicated well with us to mitigate the problem until we could return. She was responsive and flexible when our travel plans were disrupted by out-of-state weather. Thank you Christie!”
“I am truly so grateful to have Valarie to help take care of my dogs when I’m away at work. She has been a perfect fit. She has not only been amazing with my fur babies, but to me as well. She has been communicative, more than accommodating with my changing schedule as a healthcare provider, trustworthy, and reliable. She has made me feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend her!”
“We are so appreciate of Mindy’s great care while we were gone. Her experience and knowledge gave us true peace of mind and her communication about the visits was a wonderful bonus. We traveled home knowing everything was well - we found happy pets and a cleaner-than-necessary home! We will certainly use Mindy’s services again.”
“Rachel took great care of our three cats while we were away for 10 days. She communicated well, and got pictures of cats at each day she visited (except for our known shy guy). I have no hesitation booking with her again. Thank you.”
“Jesus was super friendly and our pups took to him right away. I received pictures daily and came back to 2 happy and safe dogs! Thank you Jesus will definitely see you again soon!”
“Had Melissa watch my two cats for a second time, she did great! Both were relaxed and happy to see me when I got home. She followed my instructions and sent lots of photos. Will definitely book Melissa again!”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent, caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys. I currently share my home with two lovable pups, and I’m also a proud grandparent to three grand-doggies and one grand-kitten—yes, it's a full and furry family! With years of personal experience and a genuine passion for animals, I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every walk and pet check-in. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, including senior dogs needing a little extra love—whether it’s administering medications, helping with mobility, or just providing that gentle, loving presence they deserve. Before diving into pet care full-time, I was an elementary school teacher, which means patience, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own—with kindness, care, and lots of tail wags! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently, I am available for drop ins and walks two times per day. This summer, my schedule is far more open and could easily fit additional times, as needed. I would follow whatever directions/guidelines are provided for me so that your pet(s) routines are kept as close to what they are used to as possible.
“wonderful job once again. Second time I’ve used Alyssa and my cat Max has already started accepting her. He is normallyquite picky and usually afraid of everyone.”
“Mariah was amazing!!!! She used the app to its fullest potential and kept me informed of my dogs food breaks, potty breaks, walks, etc. I knew exactly when the dogs were being cared for and she was very communicative. I know my pups would be happy to see her again! I highly recommend Mariah”
About: My whole life I have worked with animals from experience with my own pets, to working at shelters and animal sanctuaries, pet daycare and boarding with Animal Humane, and fostering pets with medical needs or are too young to be adopted. I work M-F 7am-3:30pm. I typically go home at lunch time so I can let your pet out for a mid-day potty break if needed. I live in a pet friendly apartment with hardwood floors just in case there’s any accidents. The neighborhood I live in is safe with nearby walking trails. I keep plenty of treats on hand and can work with your pets specific needs.
“We officially hired David on rover and as always everything was great. The cats love him and were all so happy. Everything was taken care of properly and as asked. Can’t recommend enough. I also appreciate that there is no extra charge for having more than one cat. It’s never made sense to me that I have to pay someone coming into my home for the same half hour block of time more just because we have more than one pet. Thanks so much!”
About: Dogs are my PASSION! I have been raised around dogs the majority of my life, and involved in non-profit rescue work for over 12 years. Rescues and adopted family members fill my heart with soo much joy! I am experienced with large packs, bully breeds, behavior needs, elder care, medicine management, and special needs. I am certified through ABI-Animal Behavior Institute- and completed my training programs for CACTP (Certified Advanced Canaine Training Professional) and CCTBS (Certified Canine Training Behavior Specialist) and currently focusing on field work hours to attain my CPDT certification in Fall 2025 (Certified Professional Dog Trainer). I work with Behavior Modification dogs at Animal Humane New Mexico alongside my mentor who is also CPDT accredited. My love of animals has been a large part of my life for my entire life. The love and connection that we share with animals, and the beautiful lessons that they have to teach us in this life are worth taking the time to stop and listen to and learn from. Every dog I meet has important works to share with me. Your pets will be like an extension of my own family. I have been a dog mom for over 20 years now, but shared much of my childhood with our family dogs who always brought so much love, joy, and understanding to my life. I knew as an adult that my family would not be complete without dogs, and now my pack completes my family! I have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted to accomodate the needs of most stays and care needs. I can plan around the needs of your beloved family members needs while balancing my own with in and out ability during day and overnight stay needs. When I am in someone elses home, I take much care and respect of the space that I am in. I will be respectful of house rules and needs. I am even able to do minor care including watering plants, feeding fish, opening blinds, etc.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life — from playful puppies to older dogs who need extra patience and care. I’m confident handling big breeds, and I know how to read animal body language to keep them safe, happy, and relaxed. What sets me apart is how much I truly pay attention to each pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, a slow walk, or just some quiet cuddle time, I adjust to them. I also make sure to keep you updated with regular pics and messages so you know your pet is in good hands. If your pup has special needs, anxiety, or is still learning — I’ve got you. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I work part-time Thursday through Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. My schedule allows me to give pets lots of attention before and after work, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect I’d want for mine. I follow your pet’s routine closely — from feeding and walks to crate time or medications if needed. I always keep a close eye on pets, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I also send regular updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. If your dog is staying with me, they’ll be in a calm, clean, and loving environment with plenty of space to relax and feel at home. Safety is always my top priority.
“Celine was great! She did everything we talked about in our meet and greet and maintained excellent communication. I was able to relax on my trip and not have to worry how my cat was doing at home”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was a kid. Friends and family have always asked me to watch them. I never had any issues. I am currently working part time so I am available a lot of the time. Evenings would be best for me, can do weekends also. I always watch the animals and don't leave them unsupervised. I will always go with what the animal wants to do. I won't push them.

Alban Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Andrea is the best. She is so caring and took wonderful care of my senior dog Gus. He has special needs and Andrea is very mindful of them. She is very organized and communicative. She provides pictures and updates. If you need a great Housesitter look no further!
Ceara unfortunately stepped into a lousy situation when she agreed to sit for our 3 cats. We had just had one die from illness and another was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. While the cat had antibiotics on board, she was still not urinating like a healthy cat. The cat is also afraid and anxious, so it was difficult to find her for a picture. We were worried sick, so Ceara asked if she should go back until she found the cat. It was late, so we told her to go next day. She did track down the cat who was obviously alive and scared, but we could at least relax for the duration of our stay away.
Catherine was fantastic. My cat Alien loved the attention and daily brushing. Catherine also changed out litter box and vacuumed when it needed it. She also watered my plants. We were gone for almost 3 weeks and I never felt like I had to worry. She also sent photos and videos regularly which I really appreciated. Catherine was very good. I highly recommend her for your house sitting or pet sitting needs,
I am beyond impressed with Patrick and calm demeanor. He did amazing with our pack and they took to him very quickly and we have a pack 4 pups and our chicken's We received notification from him getting to our home and at the end of the visit as well, received pictures of everyone. We all want an amazing sitter I believe we found that in Patrick. I will definitely be a repeat.
