Darnell took such great care of Monroe. He was very communicative and kind to my girl. She has separation anxiety so I was stressed leaving her at first l, but Darnell eased that very quickly. Will definitely book with him again in the future. Thank you Darnell!

Indiana was phenomenal to work with. Took excellent care of our cats, was super respectful of our home and helped take care of a few things here and there in our house. Was also very communicative and let us know what was happening with our pets. 10/10 she’ll be our go to pet sitter whenever we are in need and she should be your go to as well!

Hana is amazing! She’s so flexible and understanding when it comes to schedules and demands of each animal in the home. She truly cares about our animals (she will leave our tv on for our dog so she isn’t lonely) and does enrichment treats without us even asking her to. I trust her with our babies 100%

Crystal has been absolutely amazing with our dogs! We have 2 who don't get along at all, one of them being a senior with a lot of health issues. She handles both of them perfectly! We will continue to use Crystal and highly recommend her for any of your pets needs!

About: Animals have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember, and growing up in a household with both dogs and cats taught me how to read their unique body language and personalities. Today, I am a proud pet parent to two wonderful cats of my own, so I know firsthand just how much your pets mean to you and the level of care they deserve. I have hands-on experience handling pets of all shapes, sizes, and ages, which includes raising a family dog from a puppy and training him to sit, as well as managing and pet-sitting two energetic 80-pound dogs simultaneously. I am also entirely comfortable with the less glamorous sides of pet care, as I am highly experienced in administering oral pills and various medications to both cats and dogs, maintaining strict routines, and handling unexpected bathroom accidents or cleanups calmly and thoroughly. I work full-time Monday through Friday, making my daytime availability perfect for early morning or evening walks, check-ins, and feeding routines. I am also available for overnight housesitting during the week, though this is typically best suited for independent adult animals who are comfortable being alone during standard work hours. My weekends are completely open and flexible for overnight care, extended daytime sitting, and drop-ins. Because young puppies require constant, round-the-clock supervision and undivided attention, I only accept puppy-sitting bookings strictly on Saturdays and Sundays to ensure your little one gets the dedicated care they need. Building a foundation of trust is my top priority when entering your home to care for your pets. For dogs, this means maintaining strict leash safety during walks, keeping a watchful eye for hazards, and following their established feeding and bathroom routines to minimize any anxiety. For cats, I prioritize a calm, respectful environment, giving them the space they need to feel secure while ensuring litter boxes are pristine and food is fresh. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping it clean, locking up securely, and handling unexpected messes or accidents quickly and thoroughly. Whether keeping a energetic dog safe on a walk or administering medication to a sensitive cat, I am committed to providing a secure, stress-free environment so you can have total peace of mind while you are away.

About: I've had pets my whole life from the biggest of dogs to cutest of cats. I'm a very active mom, and fitness lover that could always use a furry partner. 🐕‍🦺🐈 I'm currently working mornings 7am-3pm, so anytime before 6 am or after 4pm drop off works best for me. I have a back yard as well as 1 lovely cat that usually doesnt mind other cats or dogs being around. My home is clean warm and inviting to all animals. Hooray! As a mom pet care fits into my schedule perfectly. My kids have a lot of fun with all animals that come to our home. I currently moved into a smaller place but my 6 year old son and a young wild & free 3 year old son, who can't get enough of the running he gets to do during my sits.

About: We love our fur babies and have been fostering dogs and cats for years. Every dog becomes a member of our family while they are here! Our furniture is pet-friendly and we have a fenced in back yard. We love to go to the park and hike with our dogs when the weather is pleasant! 🐾 Health & Vaccination Policy 🐾 For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, I require that all dogs are up-to-date on the following vaccinations: • Rabies • DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza) • Bordetella (kennel cough) Puppies must have completed their full vaccination series appropriate for their age. I may request proof of vaccinations prior to your booking, especially for boarding or daycare stays where pets may be in shared spaces. Additionally: • Dogs should be free of fleas, ticks, and any contagious illnesses • Please let me know if your pet has recently been sick or exposed to illness • Pets showing signs of illness (vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, etc.) may need to reschedule for everyone’s safety I truly care about creating a safe, clean, and stress-free environment for every pet. Thank you for helping me keep all my furry guests happy and healthy! 🐶💛 I have plenty of free time to play with your pets, as I work from home part time. We love walks, so a well behaved dog is always welcome on our walks with us. The children in my life are also dog lovers and will be happy to snuggle, play and dote on your fur baby, too. I have a fenced in yard, a pet friendly home and I have a large crate, if needed. For anxious dogs, I have the space to keep your fur baby apart from other animals in my home.

Lauren, took care of Popcorn like he was her own. I felt comfortable letting her in my home when we were away and comfortable leaving Popcorn in her care. I usually use a kennel but Lauren and Rover has opened our eyes to other Pet Sitting options. We will hire her again if she will have us. We appreciate and Thank you Lauren!

Emily was fantastic! Her updates were thorough, thoughtful, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away from our babies. She was attentive, punctual, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and well cared for. It made such a difference knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

We had a great experience with Jessica and will definitely use her anytime we need a cat sitter. We were away for 5 days and she took excellent care of our 8 cats (including two 4 month old kittens). Jessica was very communicative and kept us informed if anything happened. After every visit, she sent photos of each cat and gave a summary of how the visit went. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our babies and was attentive to their individual needs.

I HIGHLY recommend booking with Emily, she was a god-sent! Emily quickly replied to my request; was very thorough and mindful when discussing Luna's needs; responded within a timely manner AND follows through with her "Personalized Pet Companionship" motto. Not only was this my first time using Rover, it was my first time leaving my fur-baby behind and Emily soothed my nerves and anxiety every step of the way. With every visit I received multiple photo updates and a full report of the visit- food & water intake, play time, cuddle time, the full works, etc. And when little things needed to be added to the visit or Luna's routine, Emily did not hesitate to provide. I would definitely rebook with Emily whenever a cat-sitter is needed again.
