“Super thankful Tara was able to help out kind of last minute! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing help looking after their pets. Great communication and she send pictures during her visit. Will definetly book Tara again.”

“Rebecca was so accommodating with my Akita Bruce. She scheduled a meet and greet, in which Bruce warmed up to her right away. She asked about all his needs and was willing to go above and beyond with my difficult work schedule. Will definitely be requesting her to check on Bruce again.”

“This is the first time that we decided to try Rover. We needed to be out of town for two weeks and one of our dogs just had surgery requiring extra care. Edmy and her husband were amazing at helping us out. We had them come two times per day for two weeks. They showed up every time we scheduled and were so good with both our dogs. They were able to handle the care of our dog that required more attention. They took both dogs outside and stayed outside for long periods of time. Each time they checked the food and changed the water for dogs. Kept their cage clean and comfortable. We were sent pictures, informative notes, and communication was very reliable. We will definitely be using their services again and highly recommend them. Our doggies are going to miss them!”

Seriously let go of any worry, I’ll handle the pet sitting! I began caring for animals as a Rover sitter in 2020 but I have been providing pet care for over 15 years! I have also been a volunteer foster for dogs working with Wags and Wiggles rescue. Currently I spend most of my time working from home and as a full time pet sitter and parent!

“Tracy is the BEST! He’s punctual, he puts in plenty of time with my sick pet, he even notified us when it was obvious someone had been in our house (our roofer). Book with Tracy!”
About: I have been a fur mom and caring for animals since I got my first kitten Buster at age 5 (fun fact my only tattoo is a portrait of him!). I trained my first puppy in 2020 and dug in doing research and taking classes to raise an angel named Daisy (who now lives with her daddy my ex who loves her very much). My beloved blind Shih tzu Conner passed away at 15 and had several medical conditions so I have lots of experience with senior, disabled, and high needs dogs (I’ve learned lots of ways to trick dogs into taking pills lol). I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager and also have experience caring for birds, turtles, lizards, hedgehogs, hamsters, and rabbits. Animals are my love and passion and I will treat your babies as my own. I am a vegetarian because I love all animals too much to ever want to cause harm to them. I value and treat all animals as equals to myself. I have a very flexible and ever hanging schedule. I typically walk dogs/make drop in visits for 3-6 hours a day (from 10-3 usually although I do occasionally do evening visits as well), 2-3 hours a day with family, and the remaining 16+ hours with my overnight care clients. All services will be provided at your home. I have a dog hammock and cat carrier to transport animals if/as needed. I used to clean houses and assure you your home will be equally clean if not cleaner when you return.
“We love Hannah! She is reliable, consistent, and prioritizes availability. She is also an excellent communicator, and our dog, Bella, loves her!! We are SO grateful for Hannah and know Bella will be well taken care of with her!”

“Very happy with the service Bree provided for my puppy. Bree has great communication skills and sent updates and photos throughout her visit with Sadie. I will be using her again and highly recommend!”

About: We are new to Rover, and ready to meet your furry family member! I’ve spent my life around dogs and had the privilege of raising my own from puppyhood to his senior years — 14 amazing years together. While I’m not looking to bring a new dog into my home full-time right now, I still genuinely enjoy being around them. I tailor care to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to match their rhythm — from active walks to quiet downtime. My husband and I work full-time, and we work together to care for your dog during early afternoons through the evenings on weekdays, as well as full days on weekends. We team up to provide consistent, loving attention for your dog. Safety and trust mean a lot to us. Our girls have grown up around dogs and always show so much love and care — they’ll stop every dog we see just to say hi, give hugs, and plenty of belly rubs. We have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and no other dogs in our home, so your pup will have plenty of space and attention. We always follow the owner’s instructions to keep up with their usual routine — activity, meals, naps, and all — to make sure your dog feels comfortable and at home. We know dogs need both chill time and playtime, so we make sure there’s plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable, plus lots of chances to get active and use their energy. As a family, we work together to give your dog the best care possible, treating them like one of our own.
“Melinda was good with the drop-in visits! Super kind and made sure my pet was well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and pictures after each visit—it gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet seemed comfortable and happy when I got home. I’d book with Melinda again and feel good knowing my pet is in good hands.”

“Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure Odie had the best time while I was away at work for a week. She was flexible and accommodated last minute changes, she cleaned up after his messes and just did an amazing job. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for Odie and I!”

About: I provide dependable dog sitting, walking, and drop‑in visits with a calm, attentive approach, and I also offer grooming services at Pet Smart, using my experience with safe handling, brushing, deshedding, sanitary clean‑ups, and nail maintenance to help dogs stay comfortable and well‑kept. I focus on patience, clear communication, and making every dog feel secure and understood. I’m a full‑time dog groomer, so I work hands‑on with dogs every day and continually build skills in safe handling, bathing, grooming, and understanding canine body language, which helps me connect with dogs of all ages and temperaments; outside my grooming hours of 9am–6pm, I’m available for overnight stays, drop‑in visits, and walks, and I bring the same patience, structure, and genuine care to pet sitting as I do in the grooming salon. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home I enter by keeping the environment clean, removing anything unsafe for pets to access, following each dog’s normal routine, and giving them plenty of bathroom breaks, supervision, and reassurance; I’m attentive to their body language, I pick up after them immediately, and I make sure they have a calm, structured space where they can relax, explore safely, and feel cared for while their owners are away.
“Breana was HANDS DOWN the best pet sitter we have EVER had, including when friends and family have helped in the past. I would absolutely hire her again. She was thorough and attentive, and gave us peace of mind while we were gone for over a week.”

“Paris has been an amazing help with our new kitten. Bill was too young to be left alone, but with our jobs we were unable to be as present for him as he needed. Paris not only has shown a great deal of care for him and our dog, but she has given us advice when we have asked for it or otherwise needed it, and genuinely cares about our pets. She is also very communicative and has been a pleasure to work with and we are sure she will continue to be as we continue having her care for our pets.”

About: I have 2 dogs! Goldendoodle (6 months) and Coton De Tulear (10 years). I love dogs and I work well with all types of dogs! I am currently a student, I have classes Monday- Thursday. Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30p-5p. Tuesdays- Thursdays from 9:30a-12p. Please let me know if you have any questions! I always make sure they have gone to the bathroom before I leave, I pay close attention to how the owners feed their pets and I can crate the dog if needed.
“Brittany was great with our cat and very responsive to any of our questions and messages while we were gone. We got lots of pictures from every visit. We will absolutely want to have her back!”

“Wes has done a fantastic job with drop-in visits for my goldendoodle. She's still in her puppy phase, and he makes time for walks and playing in the backyard. He has always been on-time and communicates well after each visit. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog care!”

Blackhawk Forest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bree did an outstanding job keeping care of our beloved dogs while we were on a trip! She is very professional and she spend a lot of time keeping us properly updated with how our dogs were doing, and she also took incredible pictures to show how much fun they were having! She helped us with puppy training for one of our dogs and she also spend a lot of time playing with both of them on her visits. Definitely a perfect option for dog care and we for sure will be keeping in touch with Bree!
