“Alicia was an amazing pet sitter! She was on time every day and provided multiple pictures each day. I could tell she genuinely cared for my kitty. She even left me the most beautiful embroidery of my kitty. I will definitely be rebooking with Alicia in the future!”
“Desiré did a huge favor for my husband and I! We needed a dog sitter for our baby boy Kovu last minute and I can’t be more thankful that she was available! Even though it was last minute, she was on time for when Kovu needed to be fed and taken out. She showed him love while we were away and even put calming music for him so he didn’t feel too lonely while we were away. Will definitely hire her again 100%!!”
About: Hi! My name is Erika, and I have a dog of my own named Saint, who I’ve had the joy of having in my life for the past 3 years. Since I was a kid, I’ve always enjoyed spending time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, playing with their favorite toys, or relaxing together. I am experienced in pet sitting for 6 years. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and make sure they’re comfortable while you’re away. I’d love to get to know your pet and find out what they enjoy most! I’m currently a part-time college student but I have a pretty flexible schedule and lots of free time for pet care. Taking care of animals already fits naturally into my routine since I have a dog of my own, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and time throughout the day. I mainly offer care in my client’s home because I feel pets are happiest in a space they already know. I’m good at following routines and instructions, and I enjoy spending quality time with animals throughout the day, whether that’s going on walks, hanging out with them, or keeping them company while their owners are away.
“Angel was very nice and my cat seemed to like her. She took the time to introduce my cat to her cats. Which was awesome. I feel it was good experience for my cat. I would have liked more pictures though. I would definitely use her services again”
“Janelle was very responsive and took great care of my senior kitty. She followed instructions and provided detailed daily reports and photos which I appreciated. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Baoer and her daughter visited our home for a meet and greet before we confirmed the booking. While we were away, they took great care of Kea (our cat). Baoer followed all our feeding and cleaning instructions, and they played with him a lot too. We were relieved to know he’s being cared for and adored.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover, mom of two teenage daughters (13 and 16), and I work full-time from home, so your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day. My husband and I share our home with Finn, our 50-pound rescue pup, and two rescue cats who joined our family in 2020. Working from home means I'm rarely far from a wagging tail. Finn spends his days "working" right alongside me, supervising the neighborhood from his “executive office” (a cozy window overlooking the backyard) where he keeps the chipmunks, birds, and other critters in line. As a family, we've spent years traveling for our daughters' sports and around the world for family vacations. Because of that, we've relied on an incredible village of pet sitters and caregivers to love our pets while we were away. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members, and that's exactly the kind of care I strive to provide. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply having someone nearby while you’re away, I'll treat them like one of my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in caring hands. I work full-time from home, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your furry friends. I’ll follow their routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow their routine, keep them safe and comfortable, and give them the love and attention they deserve. I’m happy to provide extra care for special needs, including medications, as well as plenty of cuddles, brushing, and one-on-one attention.
About: Hello! My name is Donna and my experience with dogs started at a very young age. My family bred and trained show dogs and i was the primary care taker! I’m a HUGE CAT person but i do love dogs as well. I’m energetic and keep your fury babe intrigued and well taken care of while you go out and explore the world. I do have a dog of my own she is a beauty! Her name is Kuma and she gets along with EVERYTHING! She’s excited to meet some new friends and have plenty of sleepovers! My husband and I are both active duty military so that should put your worries at ease, we are good people, and we love to help when possible. I am currently a full time student. I commit about 20 hours a week to school but the remainder of that time I use to fulfill myself and spend some time looking for new hobbies and volunteering my time with planned pethood and (soon) will be looking forward to being a short term furry foster mom to injured or sick pets needing new homes. I live in an apartment, no yard. So all outside exercise will be leashed activities unless we go to the dog park (with parents permission). The winter/fall season is my hiking season so with permission some fortunate pups will be my hiking buddies.
About: Animal lover and experienced dog owner with a fenced backyard for safe play and exercise. I care for every pet as if they were my own and provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection. Happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. 😊 I work from home, so I’m around most of the day. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I already plan my day around my own dog. Your pet would get lots of attention, care, and a consistent routine while they’re with me. At my home, pets have a calm, safe space with a fenced yard for play and plenty of room inside, including extra space if they need a quiet area. I’m home most of the day, so they get lots of attention and care.I also have a friendly dog, and I always make sure introductions are done slowly and comfortably. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s routine and make sure they feel as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for six years, helping families with feeding, playtime, walks, and whatever their pets need. I truly enjoy caring for animals and spending time with both dogs and cats! I am currently working as an assistant teacher which means early mornings but I get off early in the afternoon so the rest of my day is dedicated to taking care and having fun with dogs and cats I usually lets pets roam around while I am gone then throughout the rest of the day we go to parks to run around and if crate time is needed I can do that as well
“Lillie was a great caretaker for my kitty while I was on vacation. I was worried about leaving him for so many days, but knowing that Lillie has extensive experience caring for animals was reassuring. She was very dependable & made sure my kitty was loved and cared for. Thank you Lillie!”
“We are so happy we booked with Kaley. This was our first time needing a pet sitter, and her communication from start to finish put us at ease. She clearly has a natural love for animals and approaches them with care and understanding. We were updated during our trip with how they were doing, along with photos. We will definitely utilize her services again in the future. Highly Recommend.”
“Lyndsey was awesome! It was obvious that she loves animals and she provided outstanding care for my fur babies, in very short notice. She arrived on time to let them out early in the morning, midday and in the evening before getting them settled for the night. I definitely will use her again and recommend her to anyone needing care for your pets.”
About: I’ve cared for many family cats and dogs throughout my life and am currently a full-time solo mommy to my best boy Kai. I’ve trained and nurtured him since he was a 12 week puppy so I have experience with both puppies and dogs. I committed so much of my time to helping him grow to be the 4 year old happy pup he is today that I consider myself a doggy veteran. He is anxious and reactive in nature, so I also know how to handle dogs who may be a bit more fearful of the world around them. Your fur babies will be in good, experienced hands. :) I’m currently working part-time as a teacher and am available most weekday mornings, Friday evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to help assist you and your life schedule! I not only have experience with dogs and cats, but I also work with / teach children, so the natural instinct to nurture, protect, and care is one of my greater strengths! I’d ensure that your treasured fur baby is taken care of to the utmost best ability. I know a pet owner’s heart better than anyone and would do all I can to ensure yours is happy and well cared for.
About: Ive always loved animals since I was a kid. I used to volunteer at animal shelters and that transferred to me working at doggy daycares, which finally landed me with pet grooming. Pet safety and care has always been my top priority. If a pet doesn't feel safe and comfortable, I try my absolute best to accommodate their needs and wants. I can do basic training, so unfortunately I can't teach your fur baby to cook and clean. I'm currently working part time, but my hrs are flexible. Im often available after 3pm Mondays and Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursday are my frees days, Friday is my busiest day! I do work every 4th Saturday of the month and I leave Sundays open. I always start with getting to know your precious pet. Some only need 2secs, while other take an 1 or more. Making sure they know im safe and not a threat, is the key to making sure your baby and I stay safe! Im used to "mean" dogs, so a bit of growling does not scare me. I dont offer my home at the moment, however, I will treat yours like royalty. I take pride in cleaning up after your fur baby and myself.
About: I treat every dog like my own with love, patience, and plenty of playtime. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from tiny toy breeds to large, energetic pups. I’ve also worked with dogs who have special needs, including those requiring medication, mobility support, or extra reassurance. Whether it’s training playful puppies or providing gentle care for seniors, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique personality and routine. You can trust that your pup will feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Working at a pet daycare and owning several pets of different species Im always around animals. Whether it’s for daycare, grooming, training, or even just giving them love. Ive worked with them for a while and have seen and gone throw every situation you could think of so Im not backing down from a challenge. I’ll love these animals like they are my own! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, cozy, and fun environment with plenty of love and attention. I stick closely to their usual routines feeding times, walks, play, and rest to help them feel comfortable and secure. If I’m caring for pets in their own home, I treat your space and your pet’s routine with the same respect and care you would. I keep everything clean, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure your pet gets the companionship, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle, or quiet company, I’m there to make them feel happy and at ease.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Allendale
Sydney and Yoonho are the best! They take such great care of our babies and are always super responsive, which really puts us at ease whenever we have to leave them. Our cat Mabel is usually shy and nervous around strangers, but she actually comes out to see them. ❤️
Johanna was an amazing sitter for our sweet cat. He was taken care of so well and it was so nice being able to not worry while being out of town. She sent pictures every day and updated us with everything we needed to know. She was punctual and always came at the same time everyday and was always available to chat if I had a question. 10/10 would recommend and will be using her again this next weekend!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
