“Maria is the best! She house sat Christian while I was away on a trip for a week. She attended to him & his special needs while providing updates. Videos, and photos. Not only was Christian well taken care of but upon returning my home was nice & clean how I left it! Highly Highly Recommend”
“We couldn’t be happier with Emily's care for our Beagle, Winnie! She took care of her for five days and went above and beyond to make sure we felt at ease. Emily provided regular updates with photos, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure Winnie’s routine was followed perfectly. We also felt completely comfortable having Emily stay in our home—she was respectful, responsible, and left everything in great shape. Winnie clearly adored her, and we’ll definitely book Emily again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Perfect! Our sweet fur babies were cared for so wonderfully, Yi sent many updates and pictures of our 3 boys and they seemed to enjoy her company as well. This was our first time using rover and we were so glad with who we allowed in our home and around our fur babies!!”
About: I have a lifetime experience of taking care of many pets at home, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and reptiles. I am responsible, attentive, and committed to making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own ! I am currently working part-time, so I am very flexible and able to stop by or stay whenever! I can schedule my day around your pets needs! I prioritize every pet’s safety and comfort. I follow all care instructions carefully and ensure that I am providing enough attention at the same time. I will send pictures and updates as well for peace of mind.
“Aaliya was the BEST dog sitter. i was so nervous leaving my dogs over the holidays and they were just as comfortable with her as they were with me. would 1000 times over rebook with her! She sent me so many photos and videos to keep my mind at ease.”
“I had a very long day and night at work and I needed someone last minute to come to my house and stay with my puppy dachshund. She's amazing with communication and I already knew she was going to be a great fit. BELLA loved her and I felt so safe and comfortable leaving. I got picture updates often along with check ins. If Michella is available, I'll only use her to watch Bella at my place. Thanks again Michelle!! You're Great!!”
“Aubrey was so sweet and professional! She sent us plenty of pictures and videos of our baby, so we were kept up to date and it was easier to be away. She followed instructions very well and we will definitely be using her for future trips! 🥰”
“Daniel was great. Our fur babies were kept on their schedule and given lots of love. I also appreciated the pictures Daniel sent to show how they were doing. Would definitely ask Daniel to look after our dogs again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was little, including my own pit bull and shih tzu. Having experience with both high energy and low energy dogs has taught me how to adjust my care to fit each pup’s needs. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving attention to their pets. Whether your dog needs active playtime or a calm, cozy companion, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m available throughout the day and week. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care whenever they need it. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine the same so they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of walks or playtime, and always have fresh water. I’ll also give them lots of love and attention, and I’m happy to send photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Sara was fantastic with communication. I knew my dogs and home were in good hands with her because she is extremely responsible. She followed my instructions exactly and the dogs loved her. I also love that she was extremely neat and tidy with our home. I would definitely book Sara again. She was a pleasure to work with.”
About: I’ve always taken care and had animals since I was just a little girl, I love animals and I think they are absolutely amazing, although this will be my first time dog sitting professionally I have always taken care of my parents friends animals and I take care of my roommates dogs all the time, and I have cats of my own that I take care of. I currently work 4:15am-9:15am some days, and some days I also work 4:15-12:45 but my schedule is always open since I get home early I have the whole day to take care of any animals. I do prefer to go to your house to dog/cat sit, and or to walk your pets, I am moving into an apartment complex so taking care of them in my area would be harder
“Alexis was what I needed!!! She came on time! She did a great job communicating with me! She was very attentive to my fur son! She played with him, gave him attention, and was just there for him overall. She followed my schedule that I left for him, too! She returned my home to me the same way I’d left it for her, which was appreciated. She is truly a sweetheart and my son absolutely adored her! I’m grateful I took a chance, and will continue to use her services again as long as she’s on the platform.”
“We Loved having Kimmie take care of our fur baby! What a peace of mind knowing someone was there tending to all her needs! We will use her again next time we need someone to watch our girl! Thank you!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life — from family dogs to friends’ pets whenever they needed a reliable sitter. While I’m new to this app, I bring over 21 years of hands-on experience with animals. I’ve been dog sitting for my brother’s two pups for the past four years, as well as caring for my aunt’s dog and helping out friends when they travel. Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I’m excited to provide the same love, attention, and care for yours! I am a college student who has a weird schedule and hard to find flexible jobs. Pet care gives me the ability to make my own schedule, work, and be able to get my school work done. I care for pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I follow their normal routines with feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles to keep them happy and stress free. I’m also respectful of your home keeping things clean, tidy, and secure so you can return to both a happy pet and a cared-for space.
“Natalie did a great job! She was very attentive and helpful while we were gone. She sent cute photos and updates from all our babies. We will definitely be calling her again when we need a pet sitter. Thanks Natalie!”
“Cheyenne went above and beyond to make sure our babies were happy and comfortable. She kept in touch about what she was doing and sent lots of pictures. All of the animals were so relaxed when we came home, which tells us she did a great job keeping them entertained!”
“Eric took great care of my 4 babies while I was away for surgery. He made a stressful trip more manageable for me, knowing I had a reliable and experienced sitter who could stay in my home where my pets feel most safe. I've had situations in the past where my trips were disrupted due to my dogs anxious barking, but Eric won my babies over and had no issues at all with them. I'd highly recommend Eric.”
“I highly recommend Eric! As a pet sitter myself, it’s tough leaving your beloved animals with someone else, but Eric took wonderful care of our two rescue dogs and one rescue cat. He provided daily updates with pictures … and we came back to happy animals and a clean home😊 Do yourself a favor and book him!”

Allendale pet parents share their Rover experiences
We found Cheyenne on here last minute needing somebody to watch our fur babies while we went out of town. The dogs loved her and she kept us updated throughout the day on how they were doing. Highly recommend using Cheyenne if you need somebody great to take care of your dogs needs.
Words do not express how grateful I am for Temi. I was a first time Rover user, for an overnight stay for 5 days. I have two dogs that vary in temperament. We originally were simply going to board our dogs at a local pet “hotel”. These plans fell through, and we decided to give Rover a try. From the moment Temi decided to accept our overnight booking, she was VERY professional and personable. She asked all the right questions to understand how to best support our two fur babies while we were out of town. Her communication is TOP NOTCH, and she continued to update us via the APP. It felt good to get pictures and videos, which confirmed our first babies were happy and well cared for. Temi is amazing because she immediately caught on to helping our younger fur baby with improving her leash manners. In today’s society it’s not always you find someone who goes above and beyond. Temi did, and I am so appreciative that she accepted our booking. She will now be our go to for any out of town visits. Thank you 🙏🏾 so much Temi!!!
Abby is amazing! She provided consistent updates and pictures while house/cat sitting. I never once felt uneasy or uncomfortable being away from my cats because I knew she was taking such good care of them. Even though my cats were too grumpy to fully engage with Abby, she respected their space and let them work up the courage to approach her. She also left our home very clean and organized. We highly recommend her for some peace of mind. We’re looking forward to booking with her again.
I would give Allison a million stars if I could! She took our booking on a holiday weekend pretty last minute and we are so incredibly grateful for her. She sent daily updates, made sure she had all the information she needed to take care of our baby, and even gave him the cutest bandana! I can tell that she really loved our dog as if he was her own, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone!
