“Allison was great! I booked her very last minute, and she still made time to come over to do a greet and meet. She’s clearly a dog lover, and our pups instantly fell in love with her. And very affordable rates! 10/10 would rebook in the future!”
“I can’t thank michael enough. He provided house sitting for my two cats over a holiday and ensured every single one of my instructions were carried out precisely. My babies were both lookin good and feelin great when I returned and I’m so thankful to have been partnered with Michael. Will definitely utilize him again.”
“Thank you so much for looking out for our sweet girl. We loved the bandana and the photo op you did for her as well lol. You truly went above and beyond for Iv and us. We will definitely be contacting you again the next time we need a stop by. Thank you again!!”
“Ignacio did an amazing job! I have 6 pugs with very different personalities and they all loved him! He did a check in with them at my home while we were away and everything went great! He was attentive and paid close attention to detail. This was my first time using rover and I’m glad we got him to look over our beans. I will definitely be booking with him again”
“He was so great. We had to find someone last minute and he fit us in! He sends lists of updates, pictures, answers questions, and cared so well for our boys! He took well to our boys and our boys loved getting the attention while we were gone. Thank you!”
“Sean was amazing with Moo! She can be very shy but she warmed up to him very quickly! He made sure to bring snacks that were meant for her sensitive tummy and was asked tons of questions about her needs and care”
“Charlotte dropped by our place to take care of our kittens while we were away and was wonderful with feeding, taking care of litter, and making sure the kitties were happy!”
“Mel did such a great job at making sure my fur baby was taken care of while I was away! With the few instructions I gave him, my kitty was all set and looked after and I felt at ease the entire time I was away! Especially with all the pictures!!! Thanks so much Mel !!”
“Lexi was such a joy to have as a cat sitter! Not only was so responsive and attentive, but she built a relationship with my kitties and documented all of their cute moments to send to me. She even went through trouble-shooting issues for my few automatic appliances! Would recommend to everyone.”
About: I’ve taken care of big and small breeds, I have also trained my own pup several things. I love making sure pups are given love and affection! They are our Bestfriends in this world, as dog parents we should give them the best care.🤍 I am a College student who has plenty of free time with a flexible schedule and plenty of love to give the pups. I love showing the babies new tricks and treating them as my own. I have a big furry friend and her name is Ladie she is a German shepherd who is well maintained and has crazy energy which i love. I also have a small pup who’s our recent one to the family and her name is Luna she is a pug who is more calm and quiet but is also well maintained, both of my pups were taught to do tricks by myself and my family. ❤️
“Odaly and Mel were awesome! They were prompt with responding and took lots of photos. I felt nervous leaving my cat at home while I was gone but I’m so glad I booked them because after the meet and great I had no worries that my cat was in good hands!”
About: I consider myself not a dog walker, but a dog runner... for energetic Huskies, Heelers, Border Collies, Aussies, and more! High energy dogs are my niche. I'm a lifelong dog lover with a cattle dog/ Heeler (having owned two) experience offering running and engaging walks. I've been a runner for over 25 years, currently, having a Heeler and Heeler/ Husky mix, I understand their high energy and exercise requirements. I offer energetic runs/ walks designed to tire out them out. Also, I offer,"Mosey walks" perfect for older/ senior dogs (my Heeler is 9), or less energetic pups who still love to explore. Additionally, a TON of love and attention. If you're tired from work and your dog needs to let out that energy, I'm the one for your dog. If you've ever wanted to run with your dog. I'm the one to support and coach you along. I live in the King William area and two blocks from the river. My goal is a happy, well exercised dog who sleeps at night. If your dog is looking for me, I'm for your dog! I'm punctual, communicative, and send updates. Exercise and fresh air equals a healthy and happy dog! I work from home and am available most days (self employed). I can even do last minute runs (Mainly) and walks. My dogs enjoy the freedom and their outside walks (Nellie likes her two mile run in the AM) that Mother Nature offers them. My dogs are everything to me and I'll treat yours the same. I live in King William, two blocks from the river, close to HemisFaire Park so they'll have shady walks/ runs. I'm very resourceful and can find a shady spot by your home as well.
“We had to fly out for a three-day trip on very short notice. We have two cats: a 13-year-old diabetic orange cat who we call our "love sponge," and a thee-year-old lever, mischievous tortie. Morgan understood the assignment. She had not given insulin to a cat before. I showed her how to do it, left written instructions, and all insulin doses went well. The cats were happy and healthy when we returned. My diabetic cat had a veterinarian appointment when we returned, and his glucose and neutrophils were within a good range.”
“We had a drop-in visit with Marina, who is going to be house sitting for us and our two babies next weekend. She was promptly on time, very nice to talk with and presented herself as very responsible and dependable. I have no worries with her watching our little ones. Thanks!”
About: A new chapter has me working from home full-time — and I’m so excited to open my home again! I’d love to care for your pup while you’re away, offering cuddles, calm vibes, and a cozy space shared with my two small resident dogs. 🐾 Meet the Crew: Iggy is my 13-year-old tripod and self-appointed commander-in-chief. He mostly keeps to his cozy corner, supervising the house and making sure playtime doesn’t get out of hand. Dolly is my 4-year-old shadow. She’s a little shy at first but warms up quickly. If your pup wants to play, she’s in — but she’s just as happy to nap nearby and match their energy. 💛 My Experience: I fostered dogs for over seven years — from tiny puppies to more sensitive or reactive rescues. That variety helped me get really good at reading dog dynamics, adjusting space, and creating a low-stress, respectful environment for everyone involved. 🏡 My Setup: Pups have free roam of the living room and kitchen (with lots of nap spots — doggy couch included!) I use baby gates and barriers to create calm zones or give dogs space when needed If I step out briefly, I can crate your pup if you prefer — or I can safely separate mine in the bedroom and give yours the run of the main space I rotate rest time so every pup gets solo downtime when needed — it’s always about keeping things calm and dog-centered We also have a medium-large backyard (fully fenced, about 20 yards long), no cats or kids, and lots of cozy options for sleep and chill time. Whether your pup is a cuddlebug, a watcher, or a play-in-the-yard type, I’ll follow their lead and make sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for. I currently work fully remote and am home all day — your dog will never be alone for long stretches. My own pups are a huge part of my life (they probably eat better than I do), and I deeply believe dogs rely on us for reassurance, love, and care. I do everything I can to live up to that, every single day. During my break from Rover, I continued fostering — over 100 puppies in the last few years. At the time, I was still going into the office, which wasn’t ideal, but it was still better than them staying at risk in the shelter. That chapter taught me so much about different temperaments, special needs, and how to create an environment where dogs feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for — even when it’s not their usual home. Safety and trust are everything in my home. I don’t take guest pups on walks — my neighborhood occasionally has loose dogs, and I’d rather eliminate that risk altogether. Instead, all outdoor time happens in my fully fenced backyard, and I’m always outside supervising. My immediate neighbors don’t have dogs, so there’s no fence-line tension — just the occasional curious cat that might cause a short ruckus. Indoors, I keep the environment clean, calm, and free of hazards, with soft barriers and rest zones to help everyone feel safe and settled. I also regularly review the Red Cross Pet First Aid app to stay up to date on emergency protocols like choking or injury. Your pup’s comfort and safety are never left to chance — they’re at the center of everything I do.

Jennifer S.
“Jennifer has been watching and loving on my dog, Pepe, for about a year. She always has treats and uses the best puppy voice to communicate with him (it makes him feel special.) Now that my dog is aging and needing more breaks, medication, attention (and of course, treats) Jennifer stops by whenever I need her to. It gives me a great peace of mind knowing that he is being looked after so well. She has also helped care for my stray cats that I have been feeding when I am out of town, coming by at least twice a day to feed them and make sure they have fresh, clean water. She even took all the bowls to her home and washed them! I would highly recommend Jennifer to help look after your babies!”

“Allison was fantastic! Took great care of my cat, played with him, and had great communication throughout. I highly recommend these sitters!”
Collins Garden pet parents share their Rover experiences
Awesome pet sitter!! We have booked Abeer for drop ins so far! Hopefully soon we will have Abeer for house sitting! She is very kind with our 6 fur babies and they absolutely adore her. Abeer takes lots of pictures which is great cause everyone wonders how their pets are doing while away! Abeer brings a sense of peace when we’re away from home.
Ignacio did an amazing job! I have 6 pugs with very different personalities and they all loved him! He did a check in with them at my home while we were away and everything went great! He was attentive and paid close attention to detail. This was my first time using rover and I’m glad we got him to look over our beans. I will definitely be booking with him again
I’m so thankful for Odalys! She took such amazing care of my girl while we were away. From the moment we met, I could tell she truly loves animals. She kept me updated every day with pictures, which really put my mind at ease. I would absolutely book with her again—highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!
I booked them last minute, and they were absolutely wonderful! They were incredibly sweet with my dogs and made me feel at ease right away. Communication was excellent they kept me updated and even sent a cute video of my pups playing in the yard. I could tell my dogs were happy. I would definitely book them again!
Ellie was fantastic while watching our little Jalapeño!. She was very communicative and had no problem working out the complex building. Our kitty didn’t seem to miss us too much when we got home so I know it was because Eleanor gave him lots of play time and loving while we were gone. She sends lots of pictures and makes sure he’s eating, it’s great to know Jalapeño is being well cared for on our busy trip, he was in perfect hands!! I would absolutely recommend Ellie 10/10, she will work with you and your schedule and your pets needs. Jalapeno already can’t wait for Ellie to come back again!
