Erica is absolutely amazing. From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my cat in her care. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. She followed every instruction perfectly, kept me updated and sent the sweetest updates and photos that made being away so much easier. My cat warmed up to her right away. which says everything. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely caring, Erica is the one. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking her again!

Lila was absolutely perfect. I just moved to the area; this was my first experience with Rover. For all you pet lovers out there, your baby could not be in better, safer hands. The Rover App is straightforward to navigate; you can receive pictures in real-time. What more could you want?

I would highly recommend Jonathan, he was was extremely personable, considerate and flexible! My cat was very well taken care of with cuddles, treats and play time. I hope to have Jonathan watching Milo again in the future!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life of all sizes. I grew up with a great pyranees/ border collie and have a dog of my own who is a dachshund. I dog sat for my neighbor, friends, and relatives frequently. I also have experience in sitting for cats as well. I can also help your dog learn new tricks! I taught my dog how to sit, stay, lay down, paw, roll over, follow, and wait all within 6 months. I am currently a part-time employee and have a dog of my own, so I have plenty of time and experience in pet care to give your furbaby the care they deserve! I’m flexible to what they need. Whatever needs you have for your furbaby I can meet! My dog is very particular, so I am patient, willing and understanding to what your pet needs.

Danyelle is AMAZING!!! Took such great care of my boys over a holiday. Gave me daily updates and even put up with some of their eating "quirks", which isn't always easy. But she was super patient with them and gave them all the love they needed while I was gone. I was so super happy and relaxed to know they were in such great and caring hands. Heck, even just the trek to my trash can for litter box cleaning was an extra effort in and it's self. Can't recommend Danyelle enough!

Just used Elijah for the first time to visit and feed my kitty while I was away on an overnight trip. Great job! Elijah is EXTREMELY responsive via the Rover app when you have a question, need, etc. And Elijah left great report cards with lots of details and photos. And the house was in great shape when I got back, everything neat and in its place. I'll definitely use Elijah again!

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 5 years now. I’ve mainly taken care of small to medium sized dogs but I’m open to looking after larger dogs as well. I am very reliable and have a lot of energy to keep your dog entertained throughout the day. I love going for walks and and going to dog parks if allowed by the owner. I live in an apartment and it’s dog-friend and the apartment has a dog area where they can relieve themselves. I live in a studio apartment but there’s plenty of open space where your pup can lounge around. I’m very attentive of your dogs needs, so I stay on top of taking them out for walks and making sure their water bowl is kept full and following their feeding schedule. Also open to grooming and showering your dog, especially if they are staying overnight with me. If your pup is energetic and loves to play we will be a great match!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Theresa. A friend recommended her to me, and she watched my cat over a long weekend. Right from the initial meet-and-greet, I knew she was the perfect fit, she immediately got down on the floor to meet my cat on her level, which meant so much. While we were gone, her attention to cleanliness and detail was great. She cleaned the water bowls and soft food dishes daily and handled the litter box exactly as instructed. I absolutely loved the tons of photo updates she sent, you could see how safe and comfortable my cat felt around her. On top of everything, she was incredibly accommodating with a last-minute request. I am so grateful for her care and will definitely be booking her again!
