“Elizabeth was prompt with her visits and reports. She made me feel secure about being away from Tula. Everything was in order when we returned. I would trust her to check on her again if needed.”


“Amanda was a gem! She was so kind to extend her stay so we could go out to dinner. She is very sweet with our dog and we’’ll be sure to request her the next time we’re in NOLA!”


“Hannah took such wonderful care of our beloved kitty, Minou, over the holidays (including Christmas and New Year’s) for two full weeks. From the moment we booked, she was flexible, communicative, and totally committed to ensuring Minou had everything he needed—plus plenty of love and attention. Not only did we come home to an extremely happy and content kitty, but Hannah also went above and beyond by helping with a few little household things that popped up while we were away. Her frequent updates gave us peace of mind, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. We’re so glad we found her, and we’ll absolutely be booking Hannah again next time Minou needs a sitter!”


“Alaina is super conscientious and great at communicating while you’re away. She’s a pro in the sense that she gets it when you tell her one cat likes this, the other likes that. She’s been there and gets it straight away. It’s a real peace of mind to leave town confident your cats are in good hands. This was our first time using Rover/Alaina. We’ve had other sitters years ago who had a ton of extra rules and made things a little challenging. Not Alaina. Super flexible and on the ball. I loved her updates and when we got home both cats were calm and happy. It was kind of like they were expecting Alaina. Waiting on their perches for her regular visiting time which was when we got home. Then, surprised to see us but not needy and stressed out. So happy to have found a great cat sitter for our future trips. Thanks, Alaina! Cortado and Bonzie send their love.”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care Loren provided for my elderly cat during their drop-in visits. From the start, they showed genuine compassion and attention to detail, ensuring my senior kitty was comfortable, fed, and given gentle companionship. Thanks Loren!”


“We highly recommend Caitlin. She took care of our cat Dexter for 4 days over Thanksgiving. She provided detailed reports, adorable photos, and videos. Although we always worry about our little guy, Caitlin put us at ease. When we got back, Dexter seemed so happy and well-cared for. A true gem of a sitter.”


About: I have had dogs in my life since i was 11 years old (27 years). Last october i had to say goodbye to my companion of 11 years, Wanda. I am not ready for another dog of my own and want to be around your dogs as much as possible. I believe in reciprocal relational dynamics between humans and dogs are the best approach to training and trust, not dominance and control. I would like to care for your dog by building a relationship with them based on their personality and needs. Would love to meet you and your dog! I am currently a self-employed carpenter and bee keeper. My schedule is very flexible and i can work with you and your dogs schedule and needs. I live in a household with 3 other dogs who are my roommates', so I cannot board at my home, but am more than happy and available for caring for them at yours. I am good with all size and age of dogs.

“Sarah is a wonderful dog sitter! She did drop ins for my dog on short notice and followed all instructions perfectly. My dog is quite shy and easily startled. Sarah worked with him to make sure he was comfortable with her and even got him to walk a little further with her everyday. I definitely recommend her to take care of your pet!”


“Sarah was a great sitter, really communicative and attentive to my two kitties. She sent detailed updates and pictures with each visit so I knew my guys were well taken care of. Excellent service, would use again!”


“I booked Ms. Sarah on short notice. I’m so happy I did. She was amazing with both of my pups. If you’re undecided, she’s by far the best dog sitter.”


“Jamie completely changed my mind about using this app, and so grateful that we connected! She took amazing care of my cat while I was away, and she completely eased all the fears I had about leaving him. Her updates were great, she always took photos, and most importantly, I think my boy really enjoyed her visits! 10/10 would recommend and I’ll def be one of her repeat customers!”


“Nikki came over to check on my pups while I was away for work. My anxious dogs were well-taken care of and Nikki won them over by the end of the visit! I’m excited (and so are my dogs) for future visits from Nikki!”


“Chloe is wonderful! So kind and communicative. This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous, but she totally put me at ease. She agreed to a meet and greet beforehand and was so patient with my puppy. She also sent thoughtful updates with plenty of pictures and was respectful to my living space. Highly recommend, thanks, Chloe!”

“Skyler is a gem and I would have no hesitation about booking her again. (And will!) My fur- baby recently lost her sister dog and has been stressed.

About: Hello! I have been a pet owner, caretaker, and lover for the majority of my life, but really began my professional career as a Pet Sitter when I left home for college and didn't have any furry friends in my dorm room. I've worked with every type of dog, fromteacup Pomeranians all the way up to Great Pyrenees and I've never met a dog I didn't love. I have experience administering medications, helping dogs with handicaps, behavioral issues, and everything in between. I love to have an excuse to get outdoors and go on adventures, so I bet your fur baby will even miss you while you're away! I am happy to do overnights in your home or to host your pet at my place, where I have 2 dogs of my own who LOVE to have sleepovers with new friends. Let me know what I can help you with! I work a 9-5, but have a hybrid model, so I can work remotely while I watch your pets if needed! My schedule is very flexible and I can meet most requests, especially Wednesday - Sunday. I will always take care of your pet and your home like it is my own, if not even better! I always follow the golden rule and leave things better than I found them if possible.

Shelby R.
“Shelby took such excellent, loving care of my pets while I was out of town. I have an 80lb reactive dog who has a LOT of energy and strength, and it was obvious that this was not the first challenging dog she’s worked with and handled with ease. I’m not a person who feels like I need any photos while I’m out of town but Shelby sent them anyway, which was such a happy surprise each time. My pets were all happy upon my return, which meant a lot to me, as I’ve seen my cat stressed in the past under a different caretaker. I feel at such ease knowing I now have Shelby to trust with my babies :)”

“River is a wonderful human. They take the time to truly care for and love the pets that are in their life. I recommend 100%!”
