“Mia did a great job taking care of our two cats. Her communication was great and she left our house just as we left it. We would love to use Mia again to watch our fur babies in the future!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while keeping their routines consistent. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet like my own. I m a full time employee as a school teacher so I am off by 2pm everyday and free for the entire weekend. I will be able to handle your pets care with consistency and dependability. I have a comfortable home with a fenced in yard. I have a dog that does very well with others and loves playing with new friends so your pet will have plenty of company. My home is my pets’ home , they are allowed on furniture and beds so that they can feel comfortable and at ease. I have trails nearby, so there is plenty of new places to explore!
“We had a great experience with Alexis! She took wonderful care of our cat and followed all of our instructions perfectly. We really appreciated the updates and photos, they gave us peace of mind while traveling. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to others!”
“I am so happy to have found Mason. Not only is he a lovely person, he truly made me feel so at ease. He went to extra mile sending us pictures when he checked in on our lil guy, including sending us hilarious updates.”
“Jennifer O was the best! It was great to be able to visit my daughter knowing my Willow was being well cared for! She even came over before I left so she would be a familiar face! The daily updates and pics really helped me feel not so far away. I immediately took to Jennifer’s friendly, trustworthy, & knowledgeable air and her gentle, caring nature. I can’t rave about her enough! Your pet will be in good hands with Jennifer O!”
“Linda is always so flexible with being able to walk my dog at the last minute. She is very communicative and makes me feel comfortable when I have a day of plans and cannot take my dog out ❤️”
“David help us out last minute after other sitter bailed on us the day before our vacation. David was very responsive. He took care of our 2 dogs without any issues. We will definitely book David again!”
“Jordyn went above and beyond during our time away and made our cats feel very comfortable. She offered to watch them out on the lanai which I’m sure they loved, brought in packages, and was extremely thorough with asking questions and following instructions. Will definitely rebook!”
“Lisa was amazing! She did everything to not only make our dog feel safe, but consistently informed us how safe she was. We will 100% contact Lisa in the future. Not only because she was amazing, because we know Stella (our pup) definitely misses her.”
“Aditi responded quickly, was communicative, and receptive to all my needs and requests. I needed help taking care of my kitties and bunny during a busy workweek and Aditi was a lifesaver! Thank you! :)”
“Jessica was amazing! This was our first experience using Rover. We are new to our area and needed to have someone that we could trust to come and take care of our sweet girl. Jessica came and spent a great deal of time with our Katy- spoiled her for sure :) I loved getting pictures of her during the day and knowing how she was eating and behaving. I would highly recommend Jessica and will definitely use her again when we have to go out of town.”
“So happy kitties came out to see Stephanie. Happy with the communication and feedback on the visit. So happy to have connected with her to take care of my kitties while I’m away.”
About: My first job, at age 12, was pet sitting/dog walking. I've had pets my entire life ranging from dogs and cats to rodents, fish, and reptiles. I currently have 4 cats. I have experience with older dogs and cats as well kittens and puppies. I've also spent years working in customer service so no request will be too much. I have plenty of time for walks and playtime. I can keep up whatever routine your pet is used to. I live near a dog park and can take your pup if they like to play with other dogs If your dog doesn't like cats, my cats can easily be kept separate in my room. They spend most of their day sleeping in there anyway
“Brian did so great with our Zoey and we will definitely be booking him again. He was super nice and communicative while I was gone. This was a last minute booking and he still took time to meet us abs Zoey before we left. Thank you so much Brian!!! People like you make it easy to travel and have to leave you fur child behind.”
“Jennifer was amazing! Our cats were loved and taken care of like we had never left. I honestly think they were a little disappointed when we came back because they got the royalty treatment while we were gone! 10/10 recommend, could not have had a better experience.”
About: Every pet is unique, and I love discovering what makes yours happiest — whether it’s long walks, gentle play, or quiet cuddle time. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and treat every animal like family. Clients appreciate my reliable updates, flexibility, and the genuine bond I build with their pets. Your furry friend’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. Your fluffy friend will the center of my attention for their stay, whether it's just for a walk or sleepover they will be loved and taken care of. I live in an apartment, but their are two parks within walking distance so they will definitely have as much outside time as they want.
“Cassie, thank you so much for taking such great care of our kitties! After our horrible experience with our last Rover sitter, we really appreciate the wonderful job you did. You have restored our faith in using Rover.com again! We look forward to booking you again next time we need a cat sitter! Thanks again!”
“This was my first time leaving my cat home alone for so long as well as using Rover so I was a little nervous, but Deedra was awesome! She sent me detailed messages along with pictures every time she dropped in to check on my cat. Communication was also very easy. She definitely eased my worries since I knew my cat was in good hands. Thanks for everything, Deedra!”
Alcove pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kristin took care of our kitties Poody and Ozzy while we were on a European cruise and we couldn’t have asked for anyone more dependable and compassionate! She sent detailed updates, great photos every day, brought in our mail and watered our new container gardens. We were at such ease knowing both kitties were being loved and our home was being checked on daily, while we were out of the country. Kristin loves animals and we will definitely use her again soon! 🩵
Mia was amazing with my dog and sent me pictures everyday along with little notes. 😊 She took on the job somewhat last minute and I felt comfortable and confident that my dog would be well cared for while I was out of town. I will definitely use her again!! 😊
Rachel was great with my three cats. She was attentive to each of their individual needs and personalities and I was extremely comfortable leaving them in her care. I would definitely use her again and I recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring person to look after their pets.
First time using rover and so impressed with the person I chose to watch my girl Tesa. Emily made it easy for me not to worry one bit! She provided clear communication, provided update pictures, and documented all the details to make me feel so at ease. Only a few people I can trust with my dog, Emily is trustworthy and my girl’s new dog-sitter anytime I’m gone!
Jessica was OUTSTANDING! We went on a three week vacation and this was my first time using Rover app. Admittedly, I was nervous using the app, but once I met Jessica and went over her reviews I felt confident she would be a good fit. She spent generous time with our kitties so they wouldn’t feel lonely while we were gone. And she sent videos and pics almost every day which put our minds at ease. Then she just went above and beyond: We have a litter robot that malfunctioned while we’re were gone and when she realized she went out and picked up a regular box and litter so the girls wouldn’t make a mess. We didn’t even need to ask, she just did it. Then a few days before the end of the trip, we ran out treats we use for giving meds, she offered to buy more. (After she spent her own money on the litter box we made sure to have amazon deliver some the next day). And finally, she swept and mopped our main living areas and washed the kitty bowls so we could walk into a clean home. ❤️ That was so refreshing after a long trip (and horrible flight back)! She is AMAZING, and we will definitely be using her and referring her services to anyone in need in the future. You rock Jessica!
I’ve had the pleasure of booking her every single time I need someone to take care of my two fur babies. She does an amazing job every time. She consistently follows directions, is always punctual, and communicates exceptionally well. If for any reason she can’t make it at the scheduled time, she always reaches out ahead of time to explain the situation and check whether the adjustment works for me. I truly appreciate the communication more than anything else. I especially appreciate how accommodating she is when last-minute situations come up. She’s always willing to work around changes to make sure my pets are still cared for. Even when I give her plenty of notice in advance, she keeps it in mind and is always happy to help. I’ve continuously booked with her because she’s the first person I think of whenever I need someone reliable to care for my pets, and I fully plan to keep booking with her going forward.
Jordyn went above and beyond during our time away and made our cats feel very comfortable. She offered to watch them out on the lanai which I’m sure they loved, brought in packages, and was extremely thorough with asking questions and following instructions. Will definitely rebook!
Brooke did a wonderful job getting to know our little doggy… She was responsible, reliable, and professional. We received lots of pictures and lots of updates about how our doggie was doing in our absence. This made us feel more comfortable about leaving him. Highly recommended!
