21. Hannah H.

“Hannah is an awesome sitter! She came by and watched our dog and cats while we were away on vacation. We never had to worry about how they were doing and as happy as they were to see us come home, they definitely miss Hannah! Will definitely rebook again!”


22. John N.

“John went ABOVE and BEYOND each visit. I was traveling in Europe and this is the longest I’ve left my pets. John took such great care of them, which allowed me to fully enjoy my trip. He listened to instructions and made sure each pet got lovins each visit. I will absolutely book with John for any future trips! Thank you, John!!”




23. Bridgette C.

“Bridgette has been a great new addition for our Roonie! I'm all about communication, knowing when she arrives, leaves, and a picture are great! The score card helps me know her potty breaks for when I get home since she is still un that house training mode. Roo is our baby, and Bridgette treats her as such. I will be continuously using her going forward :)”


24. Lindsey D.

“Lindsey took SUCH great care of our boys! She sent lots of pics and was so kind during our meet and greet. We instantly felt comfortable with her and will definitely book again! Thank you Lindsey!”


25. Courtney K.

“Courtney is the absolute best sitter that I’ve ever worked with. She is super flexible and my sweet fur baby loves her!!! I highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a sitter that’s great with big dogs. For all of us who have bigger scarier “looking” dogs… Courtney has no fear of that (which is always a fear of “mine” when booking someone) and was totally great with my big baby. My fur baby was totally at ease with her. I could tell from the picture updates that I got at all check-ins. GREAT SITTER! Highly recommend!!!”


26. Leah B.

“Leah was so great with our cat and was a wonderful person! She sent so many pictures and did a great job of communicating! Would highly recommend her!”


27. Hannah L.
“Hannah was fantastic when she cared for our three dogs, including our elderly one. She gave them plenty of attention, made sure they got their walks, and took time to play with them each day. It was clear they were well cared for and happy. We’ll absolutely reach out to Hannah again the next time we need a sitter for our fur babies.”

About: I’m a dedicated pet lover with two dogs of my own, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to help! I’ve grown up with dogs and have years of experience caring for them, from playful puppies to senior companions. While I haven’t had cats in my own home, I’ve looked after many cats and kittens and understand how to care for their unique needs too. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog or cat I care for like part of the family. I’d love to meet your furry friend and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Feel free to message me with any questions — I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! I am a recent college graduate and have open availability. I will be starting a job in the near future but have no commitments as of now! When caring for pets during dog walks or drop-in visits, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and making sure your pet feels happy and loved while you’re away. For dog walks, I always make sure your pup is secure with a properly fitted harness or leash, and I tailor the walk to their energy level, age, and needs. Whether it’s a slow stroll for a senior dog or a more active walk for a younger pup, I’ll make sure they get fresh air, exercise, and plenty of encouragement along the way. I’ll also clean up after them and give them water if needed after the walk. For drop-in visits, I follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent. This includes feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care like administering medication or cleaning up accidents. I always take time to give your pet attention and affection so they feel calm and cared for, even when you’re not home. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in great hands!

“We loved having Jackie take care of our dog. Our dog was nervous without us and she took the best care of her. She was such a life saver for us!”


30. Charley P.
“I am delighted to recommend Charley for a position at Rover.com as a pet caregiver. Charley is an exceptionally responsible and loving individual who has a deep passion for animal care. Having grown up on a farm on the outskirts of Clayton, NC, Charley has extensive experience in taking care of a variety of animals, including cows, horses, donkeys, chickens, turkeys, dogs, and cats. Her upbringing has instilled in her a profound understanding of each animal’s unique needs and the importance of attentive care. Charley is primarily responsible for ensuring the health and well-being of the animals on the farm. She is meticulous in her approach, ensuring that each animal receives the appropriate care, nutrition, and attention they require. Her dedication to their well-being is evident in the thriving condition of the animals under her care. Charley’s compassionate nature and her ability to connect with animals make her an ideal candidate for a pet caregiver role. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that every animal feels loved and cared for. Her reliability and commitment to animal welfare are truly commendable. I am confident that Charley will be an outstanding addition to the Rover.com team, bringing her wealth of experience and her heartfelt dedication to the role.”


31. Maria V.

“We’ve used Maria a number of times and find her very reliable We have the satisfaction of going out of town and knowing our pet will be under good care.”


32. Alana J.
About: What makes me different from other sitters is the genuine love I have for animals and the individual attention I give to every pet I care for. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well-loved while in my care. I’ve worked with a variety of pets—from energetic puppies who need guidance and consistency, to senior dogs and cats who may require a gentler approach, medication, and a little extra patience. Beyond daily care, I’m experienced in giving oral and topical medications, supporting pets with special diets, and noticing early signs of stress or discomfort. I also keep pet parents in the loop with regular photo or video updates so they can relax knowing their pets are happy and cared for. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like family—with love, structure, and genuine care. I am currently going to Jcc for school and work full time at a daycare. Just let me know when you need me because my schedule is very easy but i will always make room for the fur babies In the Client’s Home when caring for pets in their own home, I follow their regular routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I handle feedings, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions just as the owner would. I also make sure the home stays clean and tidy and keep pet parents updated with daily messages and photos.


33. Hailey L.

“Hailey did very well taking care of everything that Bentley needed. Thank you so much!”


34. Ashley O.

“Ashley is a mature and caring person; she is easy going with people & pets, but sticks to her set schedule. She has learned our quirky dog's behavior and been able to take care of 4 of our pets at once without trouble. I'm a pet sitter, as well, and we have worked jobs together at alternating times and we have similar standards of care for the pets we care for, which I appreciate.”


35. Michelle L.

“She was fantastic!”


36. Mady J.

“Mady was great with my dogs! She even played in the floor with them. She went beyond what I even asked for her to do and I will definitely be getting her again soon to watch my dogs.”


37. Jessica B.

“Jessica was able to come over for drop-in visits for our dogs twice now. We did a Zoom meet and greet, and she followed all instructions. I like the reports and pictures she put through the app.”




38. Sandy R.

“We highly recommend Sandy! She’s helped us out with our 3 cats a few times now, and our experiences have been great every time. Sandy is very flexible & accommodating. She’s also professional, communicative and great at what does!”


39. Maureen A.

“Amazing!!! I would 100% recommend Maureen, my dogs were so loved and taken care of. Maureen confirmed that we were able to get home and I know that she would have been here to take care of our dogs. I would be more than happy to answer any questions. She will be our go to person when we travel.”
