“I’m so grateful for Sarah! She took such great care of my very shy cat, and coaxed him to open up to her. I had some out-there instructions based on my trip and pet car situation, but she handled everything perfectly. Very communicative and so sweet!”

“Sophia was awesome with my four little guinea pigs! She took great care of them and made sure they had everything they needed. They warmed up to her quick, which they don’t normally do, and started talking to her and walking around. I knew they were in good hands.”

“Adreanna was great with my dog Zoey. Zo warmed up to her immediately when she met her, which is not the norm as she is usually a bit shy when meeting new people. Adreanna was awesome at communicating and always responds quickly. She is also really flexible with the check ins. I did not worry about a thing knowing she was checking on Zoey. Highly recommend her if you're needing someone to watch your pet!”


About: Hi! I am a teacher with a passion for animals! I grew up with 3 cats and 1 dog. As a teenager, I helped my cousins raise a puppy for the seeing eye dog foundation. I have watched pets for family friends in their homes before. I have also cared for pets while I have nannied for families in the past! I look forward to taking care of your little one(s)!! I am currently an elementary school teacher. During the week, I am available for early morning walks (until 7am) and night time needs (after 5pm). During the weekend, I am available for drop ins, boarding, or staying in your home with your pets! My building has a little dog park, a dog cleaning station if necessary, and theres another dog park just up the road. I also love taking long walks, so your dog will have plenty of exercise! I am flexible and a quick learner with specific requests depending on your specific needs.
“This was our first time booking Paige and she did amazing! Great communication and sent the cutest photos of our cats. We knew the girls were well loved and taken care of. We highly recommend her!”

“Courtney was great! She took great care of my cat and was flexible when I added additional visits to her schedule. She made sure to update me on when she was visiting and sent plenty of pet photos during her visits. Would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”

About: What sets me aside from other sitters? I will love and care for your dog(s) like they are my own. I love taking photos/videos and showing how they’re doing and making sure you as an owner have nothing to worry about. I grew up with dog(s) all my life and have watched so many sweet pets since I was 13. I use to work at a vet hospital in Hawaii so I am familiar with medical care, dog training, giving medications and sticking to a routine. I’m currently a full time behavioral therapist with children with autism. My schedule is pretty much flexible. I can do mornings, afternoons, and evenings. And weekends. I live in an apartment that has two dog parks. I have a roommate with a dog that I take care of. We go to the park and the lake and we go on long runs.
“This is the third time that I’ve used Riley now and she has been great! Even let me know about an ant problem around my cat’s food and helped take care of it for me while I was gone for an extended period! Thanks Riley!”

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, snakes, and even a tarantula while growing up, but canine companionship has been a constant throughout my life. I have watched many pets for friends and family throughout high school, college, and into my adult years. I’ve used Rover and other sitters before and know what it’s like to search for the perfect person to entrust you fur-babies with. I’ve had both great and not-so-great experiences in the past with sitters watching my dog, which is why I decided to join Rover myself so I could give other pets and pet-parents the best experiences! I have one extremely friendly pup and I work from home with a lot of flexibility, so I am available for any and all of your pets needs and attention while they are with me. You can expect lots of pictures, videos, and lightning-fast replies! I work from home with a very flexible schedule that allows me to get up and take the dogs for a walk or play at anytime. I can accommodate any pet care routine needed. I have a fenced yard and a super friendly King Charles Cavalier boy, neutered. Pets are allowed on the couch and the bed in this home 😌
“Natalie was great! Super communicative the entire time, and sent so many pictures! Took the time to get to know my cats and was very patient with them! Overall an amazing experience, so glad to have found a reliable cat sitter!”


About: I have been petsitting and dog walking my neighborhood pets for several years and had the privilege to work as a research technician who helped in husbandry at UNC Chapel Hills Division of Comparative Medicine canine unit. I love making new furry friends and gaining experience to help my pre-veterinary journey as a college student! I am available every day of the week starting June 30th seeing that i am home for the summer from college. I am available during the hours of 8am-8pm and am interested in house sitting. I have a fenced yard for my dog to keep them from getting out and my cat is an inside cat who stay in the upstairs bedrooms
About: Generally, I’m a dog lover. I have a reactive dog who has taught me a lot of patience that I intend to extend if needed. Pet care IS my routine. I work an inconsistent schedule and outside of those work hours, my girl is walked, fed and loves to play frisbee any second she can. For your pet, I’m looking to fit in some part time care. My schedule is flexible with enough notice as well. In a client’s home, I follow the dog’s lead. I the dog needs space, I can give it. If they need to play, I am happy to play. Whatever their schedule, that is my new schedule. I am punctual and thorough.

“Diana was super friendly and professional. And she even won over my normally elusive Fluff! I travel a bit and it means a lot to me to know that my cat is so loved and cared for while I’m away. Highly recommend!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better pup sitter for my little Ellie. From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. Elias went above and beyond to make sure Ellie was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of during my time away. I especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how she was doing—it really reassured me that she was enjoying herself and getting lots of love and attention. When family retuned home, Ellie was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy trusting someone else with your pet, but Elias made the whole experience stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Elias to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

“Cannan was amazing, we had a literally last minute cancellation for an entire week of cat sitting over the holidays. She was super quick to respond to our booking request and hopped on a phone call since we were already out of state and couldn’t do a walk through. Our kitties warmed up to her and we are so happy she was able to take care of them. Would definitely book again!!”

“Lacey was the best! She took good care of my doggos and they had such a great time with her. I loved all the pictures and the extra attention she spent on them. She for sure went above and beyond to make them feel happy :)”

Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
Summer was such a wonderful pet sitter for my cat! They were prompt and helpful in their communication, and knew all of the questions to ask to make the experience as seamless as possible. I’ve been back for one day, and I think my cat misses them already! They provided thoughtful and helpful feedback with each visit, and the photos they sent made me feel like my cat was in good hands. I would highly recommended seeking out Summer for your pet care needs.
Mae was an amazing sitter! She was kind, communicative, and incredibly patient, my cat decided to cause some chaos while I was away, and she cleaned up without complaint. She also went above and beyond by handling a wrong address on my account with total understanding. Would absolutely book again!

Erica was wonderful! She was very kind, reliable, and took great care of my cat while I was away. I really appreciated her updates and the peace of mind she provided throughout the stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared, and I would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!

Katie is absolutely fabulous. She's been visiting my two pups daily for the past month or so due to a crazy busy period at work. She's unbelievably punctual and utterly reliable. I get pics with happy updates on the daily, and I have 100% confidence that she's taking phenomenal care of my precious pups. One of my pups is a ball playing fanatic -- he would play until he dropped -- and one of things I so appreciate about Katie is how mindful she is about when he's had enough as the days get warmer. There's no doubt she truly cares, and I could tell from our first meet and greet that she loves animals and has a very kind demeanor. I'm so glad I found Katie -- she's made a hard period at work a bit more bearable with one thing less to worry about. Thank you, Katie!!!

Courtney was great! She took great care of my cat and was flexible when I added additional visits to her schedule. She made sure to update me on when she was visiting and sent plenty of pet photos during her visits. Would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter!

Elias was an EXCEPTIONAL rover! He took care of all my cats and attended to all their needs. He made sure to update me on everything while I was on my trip and took very good care of my babies. Thanks to him I had zero worries while I was away and knew they were in the best hands possible. I will definitely be booking him again in the near future and could say I’m very content with his service. Thanks again!! :)
