“Brooklynn was so sweet and great to work with. She responded quickly and sent frequent updates while I was away. I felt comfortable knowing Blue was in good hands and would definitely book with her again!”
“Unfortunately I had to cancel with Alyssa last minute, but she was extremely nice and understanding. She even came the day before to meet my dog and get the layout and schedule for my dog. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her!”
“Allison is awesome! This was our first time using Rover, and from start to finish, it was a great experience, in no small part, due to her patience and kindness. She is very responsive, and communicated early and often - before, during and after her stay. She was wonderful with our two pups, and they were happy and content when we got home from our trip. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello, my name is Alex! Animals have always been an interest of mine (fun fact: my favorite animal is the grizzly bear) and I love caring for them! I've been taking care of my family dogs for the last 5 years and recently adopted my kitty a little over a year ago. Outside of that, I volunteer at my local shelter and have been hired to walk dogs by neighbors as well as dog/ house sit from time to time. I may be new to Rover but I am not new to being dependable and responsible! I am currently a Junior in college and do not work a job during the academic year. My main constraint is classes when school is in session, but other than that I will work diligently to fit into whatever schedule is needed of me! I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your pet. This is why I do my absolute best to make sure each fur baby is treated with the same love and care that I would want for my own. My goal is to give them - and you - the absolute best experience possible.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life—since I was 5 years old. My mom is a dog groomer, and I worked with her for years, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I currently have three of my own, ranging from 40 to 190 lbs, so I’m very comfortable handling large breeds and high-energy pups. I’m confident with everything from basic care to reading dog body language and managing senior or anxious dogs with patience and calm energy. I work from home, so I’m home all day and able to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. My flexible schedule means I can easily stick to your dog’s routine and be available for walks, feedings, and cuddle time throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or quirks. I follow instructions closely, keep a clean and calm environment, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also give regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure they feel secure, happy, and at home—wherever they are.
“Jordan was amazing! She was able to watch our two dogs on short notice when we had to leave town. She sent tons of photos and kept us updated on when she was at the house, when the dogs were fed, and what they were up to. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I have extensive experience taking care of dogs. I have had 2 family dogs and have taken care of them ever since I was 12 years old. I’ve potty trained, walked, fed, and bathed them. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m available on the weekends any time throughout the day. I am busy throughout the weekdays but I can also do evenings on Friday after 5 pm. I care for every dog like they’re my own—whether I’m stopping by your home or taking them out for a walk. I make sure each visit is filled with love, play, and attention to their routine. From potty breaks and water refills to belly rubs and tug-of-war, I tailor my care to fit your pup’s energy and needs. You’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I love watching animals more than anything!

“Chy was great with my girls, H and M! She took great care of my dogs and my home while I was away. She is an excellent communicator and sent me photos every day I was gone. I will definitely be asking her to house/dog sot for me again the future.”
About: I have a dog and 2 cats if my own so I consider myself experienced in pet care. I have dog sat for many years now for both neighbors and family. I don’t mind cleaning up after pets and I can give medicine to unwilling pets. I don’t currently have a job so I am free whenever! I am simply looking to make some money to help with college in the fall. I have a fenced backyard and my pets are friendly. I can easily crate your pet if that’s what they’re used to. I can also come to your house to take them out and give them plenty of love.
About: I have been training and taking care of dogs and cats since I was little. I love playing and caring for all types of my four legged friends.

I have a big yard with two friendly outdoor labs. I also live on the lake if your dog likes to swim. Indoors, I have two cats that do not mind dogs or other cats.
About: I have taken care of and loved animals since early childhood, getting my first dog at 6 years old. My father goes on work trips several times a month and I am able to balance taking care of my dog with my college and work schedule. I take Abby, my current labrador, to the park and lake often, prioritizing her health and love for the outdoors. I am a college student, but have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am free in the evenings on weekdays and on weekends. In my client's home, I will treat their pets and space with respect. On top of basic needs such as feeding them and giving them water, I will play with them outside ( if there is an area for that) and shower them with attention
“Last minute booking and was happy to have found Fiona. Now, ecstatic that I did !!!! She did a meet a greet for about an hour a few days before we left to meet us and the pups. Showed up on time on the start date, stayed in touch to make sure we were comfortable and was waiting at our home on our return date. Pups were excited to see us, but we could tell they had been just fine without us. Our home was clean and in order. Fiona....Thank You, Connie and I truly appreciate it.”

Our dogs have prescription food, need special care, and medicine, so those things are not unfamiliar to us!

Alexander W.
“Alex had helped to take care of our fur babies on numerous occasions. He ensures that they are walked, have water, and fed as needed. He’s also very good about staying to visit with the girls if they have been alone in the home for an extended period. He has taken our pups to the vet when it was needed and reported back anything the vet had to say. He is a loving pet parent to his own cat, Zola, and takes excellent care of her. I give Alex my highest recommendation for whatever role he may play.”

Whether it's providing a balanced diet, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, or simply showering them with affection, Anna's dedication shines through. What sets Anna apart is her attention to detail. She notices even the slightest changes in their behavior or health, promptly addressing any concerns with a vet. Her home is always clean and safe, creating a comfortable environment for her furry friends. It's clear that she considers her pets as family members, and they, in turn, adore her. I wholeheartedly recommend Anna to anyone seeking a responsible and loving pet caregiver.

Hannah E.
“Hannah came recommended to me through a close friend. I was desperate to find someone to housesit for me while I spent several weeks in Pensacola while my daughter gave birth to my first grandchild. I have two dogs and a cat that are my life and I needed someone to live in my home while I was away. I have an Aussie Doodle full of energy, a senior dog with back issues, and a lazy cat. I had specific routines and feeding rules for the dogs and I needed someone that I could trust to continue my routines when I was gone. Hannah came to my home 3 separate times to meet and hang out with me and my fur babies. She is personable, dependable, communicative, and most of all, she is an animal lover. She gave me the peace of mind I needed to leave town, with my home and my animals in her care, to be with my daughter. during this special occasion. Hannah was very responsive to texts and phone calls and always kept me up to date with what my babies were doing each day. She sent pics and videos too. Even ran to the store to grab extra food when it ran out. I would highly recommend Hannah for any and all of your house or pet sitting needs. She has become a wonderful friend to me and my fur babies and I will def use her in the future!!”
