“Ashleigh did a fantastic job of house sitting, taking care of my dogs and plants, communicating, and sending pictures while I'm was away at work for a week! Highly recommend, would definitely have her take care of things while I'm away in the future!”

“Angelee house sat for us and she went above and beyond taking care of Penny. She also sent us updates with pictures and videos throughout the day. We are very impressed.”

“We had to quickly find someone to help us with an overnight after our dog was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and couldn’t go to his normal place. We ended up finding Emelyn who was willing to take care of the other two dogs plus our sick pup who needed meds. She was communicative, kind and took great care of our pack. The dogs seemed to be way more at ease in their home plus I got pictures which made us know they were being well taken care of.”

About: I’ve had my cat, Hank (or my son, as I like to call him), for almost 6 years now. I grew up with both dogs and cats, and from a young age I was trusted with walking, feeding, and even administering medication to our senior dog. I’ve also cared for bunnies and other exotic animals—so if you have any special friends at home who need some extra love, I’m happy to help! I’m currently a student at UK and working a remote part-time internship on a campaign. I’m available Mondays and Tuesdays after 12pm, Wednesdays through Fridays before 3pm and after 5pm, and I’m very flexible on weekends. Let me know your pet’s routines or any special needs and I’m happy to adjust! This includes things like medications, reactivity on walks/with strangers, or anything else you think is important. I know how stressful it can be to be away from your pet, so I will be sure to treat your pet as if they’re my own! :)
“Brooke was amazing! She took care of our 19 year old tabby cat while we were camping. She communicated with us throughout our trip and sent us pictures. She was able to give our cat her medicine and had no issues. We felt that Daisy was very well cared for while we were gone. We will definitely be using Brooke again!”

“Ashtin and Jenison did an amazing job dog and cat sitting. They made sure to communicate and send photos the entire time to ensure we would have a great time on vacation and not worry about Millie and Pierogi. We will definitely be booking with them again!”

“Megan was great, she took wonderful care of my home, dog and cat while I was away! She sent photo updates and everyone was happy when I got home! She even flexed a bit on the last day when my flight got delayed to take care of my furry family! Would definitely book her again!”
“Lauren was great! She took really good care of Kylo and accommodated all of his needs and was sure to send me plenty of updates as well! Lauren also took great care of my home which was very much appreciated!”

“Addie was so incredible watching our Vizsla for a few days while out of town. She consistently checked in and sent tons of photos & videos. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone who is kind & gentle with your furry family member.”

“Dina was great! Very responsive, send pictures, and updates. Never would have know she was at the house, took great care of everything. Dogs loved her and were happy and healthy when we returned. Such a relief to have her so we could take a weekend off. Highly recommend!”

“Hannah was so great with Daisy! She followed all of the instructions we left and made sure to bond and make Daisy feel comfortable while my husband and I were gone all week on vacation. She provided us daily updates with pictures and was very communicative, which made it so much easier to be away from Daisy for a whole week. I would definitely recommend Hannah to anyone needing a gentle and attentive dog sitter!”

Central Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Megan took great care of our pups while we were on vacation. She sent us pics and updates every day. We have a very senior dog (almost 16 yrs) and a very timid dog (rescued from a horrible situation) so we were a little nervous leaving them, but we didn't need to be! Megan was awesome with them! She's the best! 🤗

I'm hesitant to write this review for Jolie because she was so wonderful and I'm afraid everyone will want her. What a bright, personable, responsible and delightful young woman. She stayed at my house with my three cats for three days and the house was spotless when I returned. The instructions I left for their care was a little complex but she followed my notes to the letter. Clearly she loves what she does and she's very good at it.
Mikayla did an amazing job with our boys! She was great at keeping us updated with everything the boys were doing. She also was sure to stay with them and give them constant attention. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely be using her again in the future!
