“Dana is wonderful. She cared for Otis, who is nervous and can be reactive. She had an immediate rapport with him. I feel very comfortable with Dana highly recommend her!”
“OMG I absolutely LOVED Allison so much!! She was so professional and sweet! She checked in with me about everything my fur baby needed prior to her visits with him to make sure she had all the information necessary. She also provided me with a report card after every walk including lots of pictures of my boy having the time of his life! He looked so happy when she walked him. I will 100% be using her again! We love Allison!! 🥰❤️”
“VERY friendly, AND responsable!! I was out for three weeks and Dakota came and walked Chelita twice a week. I would 100% recommend Dakota to anyone, and if you need to add details, she's flexible enough to follow them accordingly👌”
“Ryana and Safiyyah are the best! They are so sweet and patient with my nervous puppy and have been lifesavers taking him for a walk when I’m at work. Will absolutely keep hiring them!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with a wide variety of animals, both big and small! I treat every pet as if they were my own, with their safety and well being as my top priority. I'm happy to take your pets on walks, play with them, provide updates with photos and videos, and handle any other care they need. All I ask is that you share a detailed, step by step routine for your pet so I can follow it exactly, whether that means an 8 a.m. walk, a specific feeding schedule, or special instructions. I’m here to make your life easier and keep your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companions! I’m looking for a part time position while I’m in school! I am mostly free throughout the week and so if you need someone to watch your furry friend for multiple days I am available! Depending on your pets personality depends on my care! If you have an energetic dog or cat who loves to play, or enjoys a walk then I can proved that. If you have a older pet who prefers to lounge around and eat snacks, that’s perfect as well! Either way your pet will be taken care of to the fullest of my ability!
“I recently had surgery and cannot bring Lexi for a walk. It was great to find a trustworthy person to help out. Makena was on time. She was enthusiastic about caring for Lexi and taking her for a nice walk. She stuck to the allotted time and returned a happy doggo back to me. I appreciate that she kept track of doing her business and was able to give feedback as to how well Lexi did in attending to walk commands as we have been working on getting her to be less distracted by squirrels and other smells. I also liked seeing a picture of Lexi when they were on their walk. We would be happy to have Makena take care of Lexi in the future.”
About: Growing up, I was responsible for taking care of our family dog as well as many of the neighborhood dogs. I currently pet sit for neighbors in my apartment complex as well. Punctuality is my strong suit and I will always be on time. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! I work 24 hours on and 72 hours off, so I can be available to care for your pet in three day periods. I have lots of free time, and I’d be happy to spend it taking care of your pet! I work as an EMT, so I understand how essential it is to respecting people’s homes and personal belongings. Creating a safe and loving environment for pets is paramount to me!
“Cynthia is a true gem! I mistakenly drove three hours out of town with my dogs harness and leash in my car! I reached out to Cynthia and she was so kind and was able to locate a leash very last minute for my girl. I cannot thank you enough! You are amazing!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats and dogs with a variety of needs, especially elderly and those on medications. I used to manage a horse farm, and have been a lifelong equestrian. I have a service pup of my own, as well as a lovely ragdoll cat, and previously owned a rescue pittie! I am emergency first aid certified for small animals and was an ICU vet tech. Comfortable with all breeds. I am able to fit in morning and evening care during the week and am flexible on the weekends. Wednesday afternoons are also open at this time! I am responsible and respectful of your space. I live an apartment so can not host at the moment. I will always send pictures and leave things as is!
About: I have been around animals my entire life, especially dogs and cats, and I have experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. In addition to growing up around pets, I have pet sat for friends and family on numerous occasions, including caring for a bunny. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing daily care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Whether this is your first time using Rover or you’ve used pet sitters before, you can trust that your pet will be treated like family and receive the best care possible. I currently work part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule. I do my best to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible and will communicate clearly about my availability. My goal is to make the pet-sitting experience as stress-free and positive as possible for both you and your pet. Please tell me as much as possible about your pet ahead of time. I want to provide the best care possible, so it is helpful to know about their routine, personality, favorite activities, medications, dietary restrictions, health concerns, behavioral quirks, and any specific instructions or “no-no’s.” The more I know, the better I can keep their routine consistent and ensure they feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Jeannie is amazing! Our puppy isn’t used to being alone all day so we were worried that she wouldn’t adjust well to our new work schedule - it’s clear that having Jeannie stop by has eased the transition for our dog & now she looks forward to it! Our dog is so much more calm when we get home. Jeannie is super reliable and communicative. We feel lucky to have her as our Rover :)”

“Jordan was wonderful!!! Tango got a great workout, and when Jordan was dropping him back off, I could tell Tango didn't want him to leave!!!! That's always a great sign. I will absolutely be using Jordan's services again, and can highly recommend him to any and everyone!!!”

Blands dog parents share their Rover experiences
Dakota went above and beyond in caring for my baby boy. She was attentive to all of his needs and handled every situation with patience, professionalism, and grace. She struck the perfect balance between being loving and caring while also providing the structure and firmness needed to keep him on track. I especially appreciated that she came to my home for dog-walking services, which made the experience even more convenient. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being and treated him as if he were her own. I highly recommend Dakota for any of your dog-care needs. She is reliable and compassionate.
OMG I absolutely LOVED Allison so much!! She was so professional and sweet! She checked in with me about everything my fur baby needed prior to her visits with him to make sure she had all the information necessary. She also provided me with a report card after every walk including lots of pictures of my boy having the time of his life! He looked so happy when she walked him. I will 100% be using her again! We love Allison!! 🥰❤️
Tyler was incredibly patient with my anxious pup! She warmed up quickly to him & it’s no surprise to me given the great care he provided her. He even spent extra time with her during thunderstorms when she was scared & needed comfort. Additionally, Tyler agreed to two extra visits that I completely forgot to schedule at the last minute. I wouldn’t hesitate to have him watch my pup again!
