“Margaret was amazing! My dog absolutely loved her, and I could tell she was in great hands the whole time. She sent regular updates and photos that made me feel so comfortable while I was away.”

“Madison was great with our older dog Ruby. She made it a point to share an update with us during each visit and provided pictures of Ruby as well throughout the week. We really appreciate Madison’s help while we went on vacation for the week and would trust her to checkin on Ruby again :)”

“Hilary was amazing!! She was very attentive to my fur baby and sent lots of photos and details! I am so happy I had her help when I was away. Would recommend her to anyone i know! I felt relived and knew my dog was in great hands! 10/10!”
“Literally look no further than Andrea! This was my first time using Rover and it was so simple! She sent photos of each of my cats which was reassuring and also impressive since the grey one likes to hide. She also showed them playing and petting them which just put me at ease. Pretty sure she cleaned up a hairball or two which is above and beyond really. Boxes were clean and trash was even taken out. Andrea is my new go to for anytime I’m out of town! Thank you 🩷”

“Thomas went above and beyond with our girls! He spent lots of time playing/petting, sent great pictures and gave thorough reports. All of this gave us peace of mind that they were in good hands while we were out of the country. I’d highly recommend him!”

“Jennifer was very responsive and great to work with. We loved how much she loves cats and felt like our cat was in very good hands with Jennifer checking in on her while we were away!”

“Nicole is a wonderful dog walker. You can tell she really cares about your pet. She is also very reliable - always shows up and is very communicative via the app. Shelby enjoyed her walks/runs with Nicole!”

“Susan has been kind, considerate, and a great help with Beans! I feel comfortable trusting her with my pups. We will definitely be using her services again :)”

“Elysse was wonderful keeping an eye on our cats during a weekend trip! Each update in the app kept us feeling confident that everything was taken care of and all cats were happy. Would definitely book again with Elysse!!”

About: New to Rover but experienced dog sitter 😊 My lab passed 5 years ago and seeing other kind-hearted dogs remind me of her but in a good way. I will take care of your dog with utmost care and love as I did for my baby. 😊 I am working part-time, so I can be flexible with scheduling. I would appreciate a day advance notice to make sure we can coordinate to best fit your schedule! Safety comes first and I will make sure to adhere to your house rules for your fur baby. I will ensure your dog stays calm and happy during our time together. If there is anything I should be aware, please kindly communicate any guidelines for me to best care for your little one 🐶
“Jessica was WONDERFUL! I knew Jessica was going to take great care of my cat, Rogue, but I was not expecting Rogue to take such a liking to Jessica right away. Pleasantly surprised is an understatement. Jessica was also amazing about sending pictures and detailed notes after each drop-in visit. Thank you, Jessica ?❤️”

“Hera was an excellent cat sitter for Hunter! She was communicative and responsive and I knew my little guy was in good hands with her. Also was wonderful to get the photos and updates while I was away!”

“Al consistently provides amazing service. He has cared for my dog and cat now 3 separate times and always has been great at communicating and extremely honest and professional.”

About: A dog owner my entire life, I have experience in both puppy and senior care. For those that board with me, my 10-year-old pug/boston terrier mix, Georgia, and my 1-year-old Chihuahua mix, Olive, get along well with other dogs of all ages and will be well-behaved playmates for your furry best friend! I am currently a graduate student, and I have a hybrid schedule. This allows me to work flexibly and appropriately accommodate your pup’s normal routine! When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they’re treated like part of the family. I follow their usual routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or special care instructions, to help them feel at ease and reduce stress while away from their owners. I ensure plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles, and I always supervise outdoor time in a secure area. When house sitting, I aim to maintain your pet’s normal routine in the comfort of their own home, including overnight stays to help them feel secure and well cared for. I take care of feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and provide plenty of companionship and love. Please note that I may need to step out of your home from time to time for work or personal commitments, but I will ensure your pup’s schedule is maintained and their needs are fully met. I also keep the home clean, water plants if requested, and ensure everything stays safe and secure. You’ll receive regular updates and photos while you're away so you can relax knowing your pups are in good hands!
“Luci was a dream dog-sitter! I knew exactly when she got to my house and when she left. She sent a detailed report of her visit with my puppy -- where they played, what they did, potty notes, and even that they did some training practice to match what we were working on. To top it off, I got to see tons of pictures of my little guy! We will definitely be using her again! Thank you, Luci :)”
“Juli did a great job with drop-in visits for my GSD. It was raining one time and hot another but she made sure he got a break, some attention, and his treats so he was very happy. She responds quickly and made sure Auggie was all set.”


“I've now used Robert a couple times to cat sit my elderly cat. He is always super communicative and takes great photos. Will definitely use him again in the future :)”

About: I am a lifelong lover of dogs, and currently own an almost 2-year-old mini bernedoodle. I have current experience with walking and caring for dogs during typical work hours (9-5). I take time to build trust not only with your pet, but also with you. I take the time to learn your pup’s unique personality and needs. I’m looking forward to caring for your pup! I currently work part-time and work in the late afternoons/evenings. This allows for plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet’s needs! I’m available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I treat your pet like my own, treating them like family and ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, and provide plenty of time for exercise, playtime, and cuddles! Your space will remain tidy and secure under my care. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities!
