“Madison is wonderful, my dogs love her. I feel confident leaving them in her care when needed. She’s reliable and keeps me well informed of my girls activities when I’m away.”
“Shea is absolutely amazing! She took such good care of my Thena while I was away. Athena took such a liking to her, she was cuddling and showing all her tricks to her. She made Athena comfortable, she made me feel assured. She completes all the check lists, communicates well, clean, super sweet and loving! The perfect cat sitter! Will definitely reach out in the future!”
“Susi was AMAZING! Our little Scarlett is a rescue and can be apprehensive with new people. You could immediately see Susi’s experience and knowledge during the meet and greet. Susi’s communication and updates were so helpful and sweet. The family loved the photo updates! Cannot recommend or thank Susi enough.”
“Kaleigh was great! I requested time last minute and she was so nice and able to accommodate my last minute reservation. Very easy to communicate with and put up with my grumpy cat. Would definitely book with her again”
“Fantastic pet sitter! Lance was friendly with cats. Our youngest is very shy, but he warmed up to Lance. :) He was respectful with us and our home. I highly recommend Lance for pet sitting.”
About: Over the past decade, I’ve spent much of my time caring for both dogs and cats for friends and family, and now for pets of my own. This care includes feeding, walking, play-time, and general quality time, all of which I love providing daily for my 2 year old golden retriever George 🦮. I’m a teacher looking for a fun and productive way to spend my summer break. I’d love to spend some of that time hanging out with your lovely pets! I’m currently a teacher with completely open availability for the upcoming summer break. Besides daily chores, I will not have much to do and so have completely open availability to care for your pets day and night. I have a large fenced yard with dog door access and a friendly 2-year old golden retriever to keep your dogs company. Crate access is also available if needed, I currently use a massive crate graded for dogs up to 140 lbs. I have one cat as well who prefers to hang out in my bedroom, so he can be easily separated to give your dog space if necessary. Cat litter and food are kept seperate and out of reach from any dogs should they be interested.
“Aleana is punctual, communicative and my cats new best friend! I will be setting up many more visits with her. Any worries I had about leaving my cat alone are completely gone and I can actually enjoy my time away knowing Bruce is in great hands. :)”
“Fiona was THE BEST and took great care of our babies! We had a last minute issue and had no one to watch them, she came in and made it work no problem. It was so comforting knowing they were taken care of while we were away. Huge thank you!! 🤍”
“Jessica was wonderful! She kept me updated, took great pictures, was patient with my potty-training puppies, was able to accommodate schedule changes and my girls absolutely loved her. I will be using her again and would highly recommend her!”
“Lilly took fantastic care of our cat Waffles. She was very communicative and kept us updated the whole time we were away, and we could tell Waffles was in great hands. Waffles can be shy and Lilly was wonderful at knowing when she wanted attention and when she needed space. She also went above and beyond by starting four days early on very short notice when we had a family emergency. Highly recommend!”
“Carlie is amazing! She was so kind and thoughtful to my babies. They both loved her! I recently moved and had to find a new rover sitter - she will be my one foreva!!!! Thank you so much Carlie for being so great!”
“Courtney has provided excellent care for Sonic over the past few months. She is attentive, caring, punctual, friendly, and reliable. The first time she ever cared for Sonic, she had to do wound care for his leg injury. She followed all the directions to a "T" and provided detailed updates. This was just one example of Courtney's excellent and professional care. Sonic is an anxious dog but he seems to adore her every time she's here! We enjoy working with Courtney and can't recommend her enough!”
About: I am a dog parent of 2 very friendly poodle mixes. I decided to join this app because I know how stressful it is to leave your fur babies with a complete stranger. I want this experience to be as stress free as possible for the owner as I have 5 years of experience taking care of my own very pampered doodles. I have a 3,000 sqft back yard, giving your dog plenty of room to get their zoomies out. There will be no shortage of belly rubs and treats staying here! I am also a certified pet nutritionist so keep me in mind for your pets dietary needs! I also make homemade treats/toppers for lick mats if you would like to purchase any during your pets stay 🙂 I also have experience caring for hamsters, rabbits, cats, chinchillas, horses, and ferrets! I am only gone up to 4-5 hours for work at a time, but my boyfriend has 5 days off a week and is usually able to be home with the pups! I have 2 very friendly doodles to keep your pet company, but can also crate or gate off your dog if needed during feeding or bed time.

I look at my career as a passion and not JUST a career! I love and enjoy my job more than anything. I am currently not working, so there will always be someone around to watch your babies. I have three dogs and a horse of my own. My talents/knowledge go beyond small animals. I have experience with critters (exotic), small animals and large animals. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate any need. Please feel free to message me with any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I don’t work right now giving me more time to spend with your fur babies. Giving them the love and attention deserved while you are away, making them not skip a beat of having a human there for them. I follow instructions carefully and helping your fur baby feel like they aren’t missing a beat in their routine. Giving them the love and care you as pet parents would give.

About: Having pets have been one of our greatest joys since childhood. Along with caring for our own, we’ve taken care of neighbors’s pets ever since teenager years, and took naturally to it since we’re animal lovers! It would be such a pleasure to meet and serve and grow to love more furry friends. 😊 I (Sheridan) am a stay at home mom with lots of time on my hands this summer, so I have plenty of availability. My husband, Adam, has a pretty flexible hybrid work schedule as well. We’ll be following all guidelines and preferences expressed by the owner, so we can know how best to serve your pet/your family in your own home. Willing to do tasks such as: feeding, walking, playing, crating, etc.
Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
Madison is absolutely fantastic! I go on multiple trips a year and trying to figure out what to do with the cats is always a huge worry, but I decided to give rover a try and Madison was who I went with. Best decision I’ve ever made, 2 check ins a day, she fed them, made sure they had water, played with them, made sure their litter was clean, and even gave them some treats! After every visit she sends multiple pictures, and leaves a detailed note of what she did that day with them and anything to know. After the visit we got a hand written note thanking us for trusting her with the boys and how much she loved them! I will not even hesitate next time I go on a trip, that’s how professional and loving she was to our animals and communication.
Kristy was great! We booked her to watch our dog for a week over Christmas and had a great experience. She was very quick to respond and communicated clearly the entire time we were away. Our initial meet and greet was easy and comfortable, and we really appreciated that she asked ahead of time what kinds of treats our dog liked. She definitely spoiled him, and he was immediately comfortable with her. While we were gone, she stopped by multiple times a day and sent pictures every visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future
I felt confident in Clarissa watching my babies upon the meet & greet. She exceeded my expectations during the visits while I was away! The pictures I received were all I needed to know they were enjoying every second of her company! Thank you very much for a job well done :)
As long as I live in this area, I will never have another dog sitter. Mikayla was nothing but kind, compassionate, and helpful even when my dog had lots of accidents. She never once complained and was extremely thorough when sending photos and summaries of each visit and walk! Exceptional doesn’t really cut it when explaining her attitude. I totally trust her and am so happy I chose her to watch my dog while I was out of town! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
