“Kayla took great care of my doggies when I was gone overnight. They were fed, watered and walked. Photo updates were provided as well which helped put me at ease that my dogs were in good hands. Kayla seems very kind.”
“Lydia is very reliable and took great care of my cats. She really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Communication was smooth and easy throughout. This job requires a lot of love, and luckily she has it. My lovely cats were calm and well when I got back, which really shows how well she cared for them. I hope Lydia will continue doing this work — I would definitely book her again in the future and highly recommend her!”
About: Hi there, My name is Natalie and I live with my partner Jesse, our 12 year old pug Bernie and our 4 year old Terrier mix, Lucy. We are huge dog lovers and often spend our weekends going for long walks and volunteering for a local animal rescue. We would treat your pet like our own while they are in our care. Every day we make sure our two dogs are cared for and happy. Our joy and purpose comes from seeing them living their best lives. Safety and lost dog prevention always comes first. It is so important that a dog is secure and never given the opportunity to be in harms way.
“The first day we met Sophia we new our home and our cat Tigger would be in good hands. Sophia's kind gentle nature had our usually anxious cat cuddling beside her within the 2nd visit. Remarkable! Her visit updates & photos showed a content and relaxed Tigger. With that it made our time away more relaxing. Sophia along with being great with animals is attentive, dependable and respectful. It would be without hesitation to have Sophia take care of cat again.”
About: I have had animals in my household all my life, I have had a dog since the age of 12! I have always been that person when friends and family who are in a pickle with animals to care for them! I am responsible yet caring and loving towards all animals. I work 5 days a week right now but they are part time hours so I have lots of time for your furbabies! Stormy and I are always down at the dog park everyday regardless of weather! I know that routine is very important to animals! I have a partially fenced back yard which is about 0.7 acres large! I have two friendly dogs who will keep your best friend company. My lab is nearly 11 and she doesn’t play as much as my husky mix who is just over a year and is very playful! If needed I do have an extra crate as well!

I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, and I always double check doors, leashes, and surroundings for safety. I also provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for! :)
“Jenn went above and beyond as a 5-star Rover sitter. We had to book her unexpectedly because of an emergency hospitalization, and she immediately came through for us. Her communication was excellent—regular updates, photos, and reassurance that our dogs were safe and happy. At a time when we had countless worries, knowing our pups were so well cared for meant everything. We couldn’t be more grateful.”
“Courtney was wonderful with my 3 dogs. I felt content with leaving them. She sent messages and pictures which was very nice and gave me piece if mind ! I’ll definitely have her come again!!”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve had them since I was young and have spent the last 12 years caring for others’ pets as well. I recently lost my beloved French Bulldog, who required a lot of dedicated care, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease. Because I’m completing my Master’s degree from home, I have a flexible and adaptable schedule. This allows me to be available during the day for walks, feedings, and ongoing supervision, ensuring pets receive consistent, attentive care rather than being left alone for long periods. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how important routine and a calm environment are, so I do my best to keep things consistent with what they’re used to—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just how they like to relax. I’m very mindful about safety in the home and always make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I also keep communication open so you always know how your pet is doing. These things were so important to me with my own dog.
“Laura is a life saver! I was stranded at work for almost 24 hours because of a snow storm. Within an hour of contacting her she dug out her car and went and took my doggo out for a walk and fed him. She even shoveled my steps!”

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
