“Crystal cared for my two cats and kindly brought in my mail and packages. It was like having a trusty neighbor and a professional pet caretaker rolled into one. Highly recommend for a worry-free experience!”

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 Stars – Above and Beyond! Christine was an absolute gem! Our dog Jadis had been struggling with motivation and didn’t want to get up or go outside for our regular sitter—but with Christine? Total 180. She got up, played, and was clearly happy and comfortable in her care. Christine was super attentive, sent tons of thoughtful updates, and even snapped adorable photos of our cats even though they weren’t part of the job! That extra care meant the world to us while we were away. Reliable, caring, and clearly an animal whisperer—Christine is the kind of sitter you hope to find on Rover. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind and happy pets while they’re gone!”

“Abigail did a fantastic job watching checking in on our two cats for us while we were away! She was very responsive, sent lots of pictures and most importantly the cats loved her (and usually one of them is too shy to even make an appearance!).”
About: I've taken care of all sorts of pets consistently for 25 years. Everything from dogs, cats, ferrets, turtles, hermit crabs you name it, I've cared for it. I currently work from home so your pet will have 24/7 round the clock care. If you pet has special needs, rest assured they will be taken care of on-the-dot. We have a large fenced yard where your pet can roam and play all day with their new friend Topaz (my dog). There is also divided space in my home for cats and small breed dogs who are not used to dogs.
“Alison is very patient learning and getting used to know my pups. She gives a lot of updates, cute pics, and questions for more care details. Will definitely book again ;)”

“Lilliana was excellent and extremely professional. She was on time and went the extra mile to make sure our pets were taken care of. I will definitely be using her services again.”

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.
“I traveled for a full week and needed someone I could trust to take care of Cat. I've booked Emily before and she is attentive, communicative, and overall a great sitter. Highly recommend!!!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, from my own pets to dogs and cats at kennels and rescue organizations. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, cleaning, and providing enrichment and comfort to pets of all ages and personalities. I also volunteer helping rescue animals through TNVR and shelter work, which has taught me patience, understanding, and how to make every pet feel safe and loved. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or a calm walk, I treat every animal like family. I currently work full-time, but I’m available for pet care after 5 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. If you’re located nearby, I may also be able to stop by during my lunch break. Since I work from home, my schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s needs whenever possible. I make sure doors and gates are secure, walks are done with proper leashes, and pets are never left unattended outside. I treat every home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own, keeping things tidy and following all instructions closely. My goal is to ensure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away.
“There are not enough great things to say about Jammie! She went above and beyond to make sure my pet was taken care of while I was away. Will definitely be using her in the future.”

About: Hi- I'm Rikki… Pearl is my shadow. I’ve delivered her eight puppies & given their shots. I pamper animals with holistic care that leaves them feeling squeaky clean and zen. Doggy CPR certified— when tails stop wagging, I’m the lifesaver ready to jump in with treats, belly rubs, and superpowers. I have extensive experience in senior dog care, ensuring that older pups receive the love, attention, and specialized care they need. Pearl's Palace is like a dog "spa" surrounded by a welcoming community of pet-loving neighbors. From the moment your pup arrives, they’re welcomed like family. Mornings often start with a friendly sniff-and-greet, followed by some outdoor play or a stroll around the neighborhood to stretch those legs. If the weather’s nice, supervised pool time keeps things exciting (and doubles as a workout). Midday brings rest in a shaded spot or inside the home, with fresh water always available. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy a mix of play, cuddle breaks, and light grooming—nail checks, brushing, or a spritz of my handmade lavender-infused conditioner for relaxation and bug protection. Afternoon activities may include fetch, enrichment games, or lounging by the pool while soaking up the sun. Evening winds down with a final potty break, gentle pets, and plenty of praise before pick-up or bedtime, so your dog heads home happy, relaxed, and maybe just a little spoiled. I have a tall privacy fence and a Great Dane to keep your pets company. Walks are regular and so is meeting new dog friends. Instructions for in-home care are followed as specified below. *Now Available* LIVE feed to owners so you can talk to them and check in!
“Amanda did a great job caring for our little old cat Queequeg. She fed her, gave her her medicine, and even monitored her bowel movements for us without question. Due to Quee having IBS her tummy is very fragile, and we don’t feel comfortable leaving her care to just anyone.”

“Jo is amazing!! My dogs are highly anxious and do not take well to strangers in my home but they absolutely love her! When I used to leave for work they would be depressed but now they aren’t, they actually start playing when I leave which is comforting as I am an anxious dog mom. I trust my dogs with a total of four people and Jo is one of them. She is always so polite and respectful. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”

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.

Jammie was absolutely fantastic! I had a family emergency where I had to fly out internationally ASAP. I did not realize I could not keep in contact with her prior leaving through the ROVER app. Luckily we were able to find a work around, and she accommodated me with ease. I could not of been happier, as this was my first time ever using such a program for dog sitting. Will definitely be using her services again in the future! Highly recommend!

Trinity is awesome. She took care of my babies while I was on vacation for a week. She was on time and made sure they were well taken care of. Duke and Mustard love her. We had a tragedy while I was gone and she stepped in without hesitation and helped out with my Duke. I was so thankful and grateful that I was able to find her on the River app. I will definitely book her through Rover from now on.
