I have no reason to choose another sitter for my guinea pigs at this point. Tess is super responsive and sends lots of pictures when checking on my pets. They seem super comfortable with her and she takes better care of them than some pet hotels I've tried. Will 100% book with her again!

From the beginning Ray was responsive and accomindating. While traveling, it was such a relief and comfort to know that Ray was coming to check on the cat everyday, as booked. He gave updates on how she was doing, made sure she was fed, watered etc as well as staying with her for companionship and pets for the requestied time. He also sent picture updates. Will use again when/if I need someone to watch after her. Thanks Ray!

I was so worried about Simon but I came back from a 3week vacation and he was wonderful. I know this is because Alison took such good care of him. She was awesome. I would completely recommend her.

Bethany took such great care of our large pit bull/lab mix. It was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but I could tell right away that our dog was in very good hands. She was very responsive and sent tons of pictures, and we will definitely use her in the future!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and of all ages. but I have specifically taken care of puppies and middle age dogs. Those dogs I have worked with the most with. I had a senior dog in my household that I took care of until she unfortunately passed from cancer and I had administered medication to her and such. I have also taken in 2 foster dogs one with separation anxiety and other medication issues due to being in the shelter. I would have to give her medication and baths on the regular due to her having multiple accidents in her crate. With the second dog they were a 2 month old puppy that I fostered for a weekend and took to an adoption event where they had gotten adopted. I want to make sure all animals are loved and cared for while there owners are away and so that the owner don’t have to worry and know there fur babies are okay. I take care of my pets at home already so it’s really just a built in thing for my schedule. It’s an easy thing to do during the day or to end your day with as well so it all just fits in nicely. And who doesn’t want to end their day with some snuggles. I want to treat my clients pets how I would want my pets treated. I wouldn’t mind any them to be pushed to the side or just be let out and then leave I would want my pets to be played with and have some attention and love before heading out just so they know that someone is looking out for them until their owners are back

About: I’ve grown up around dogs for my entire life! I’m apart of several animal rescue organizations, so I’ve received special training on topics such as trauma-informed sheltering. I’m currently working full-time with a VERY flexible schedule. I work from home (downtown) for most of the week, and live close to the office. Your furry friends will receive a lot of attention from me while you’re away! I’m able to be in the home with your animal(s) for the majority of the time you’re away. I give them extra space for the first little bit, so they can get to know and trust me. Their happiness and comfort is extremely important to me!

About: I have dog sitted for close friends and work colleagues during graduate school. I am still new to dog sitting but I take direction very well and I am willing to learn new things and meet new people! I am currently a pharmacy resident and work mainly during the weekdays from 7am-5pm and work every other weekend starting this upcoming July. My availability for June is open during the afternoons and most early morning for weekdays and open on weekends! I make a point to follow instructions to a T, and if there are opportunities to go above and beyond, I will do so. If dog sitting, I make sure to give the utmost attention to your pet while also meeting your expectations. As for house sitting, I like to treat a home as if it were my own: tidy and organized.

I had never utilized this app before so I was very scared at first but Sally made everything seamless. Very happy to have picked her to take care of my babies considering that cats are not the same as dogs. She immediately connected with them and I felt at easy while being away. She sent us pictures and updates every single day and was always quick to respond.

About: Hi! I’m Reagan, and I’m from Northern Kentucky. I recently graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Kinesiology, and I’ll be starting a career in orthopedic medical device sales in a few months. Until then, I wanted to spend my extra time doing something I genuinely love — being around animals! I’ve been dog sitting and caring for pets since high school, so I have about 6 years of experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. While Rover is a great way to make extra cash, I’m honestly doing this because I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I currently have 3 dogs of my own: Roman (a Sheltie), Weller (a Lab), and Winnie (a rescued Lab mix we found on the side of the road and kept!). Having multiple dogs has taught me the importance of patience, exercise, attention, and routine when caring for pets. I have the most experience with dogs, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime, but I’m also comfortable caring for cats. I’m active, dependable, and will treat your pets like my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule before starting my full-time job in a few months, so I have plenty of time for your pets! I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the week and weekends. I’m active, reliable, and happy to help keep your pets comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routines and instructions while treating them like my own. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and pictures so you know they’re in good hands!

I am so happy with Taylor! She was so kind to all of my animals and treated them like her own. She sent me the most thorough and detailed summary of her time at my house. I know she enjoyed them and I could tell by her many pictures that they loved her. I have two dogs and a recovering feral cat and they were in wonderful hands! Very much appreciated.

Tori provides great care and I’m so thankful to have someone responsible and kind to watch my fur babies while I’m away. Pet care used to be my biggest stressor while traveling and now I can thoroughly enjoy myself knowing everything’s good at home :)

Angel is the best and will always be our go-to for all of our kitties!! We have 6 cats, some with bigger personalities, and she does so good taking care of them all and making sure each of them get attention. Angel took care of our kitties for 2 full weeks this time and did an amazing job, was communicative, and we came back to happy kitties and a clean house just the way we left it! Thanks, Angel!!

Absolutely fantastic experience with our pet sitter, Erika. She did an amazing job caring for my two cats, who are usually very wary of new people. By the end of her time with them, one of my cats even let her hold him which is a huge milestone and really shows how patient, calm, and gentle she was with both of them. Erika was very professional throughout, followed all instructions carefully, and always replied quickly, which really helped ease my stress while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing my two cats were in great hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
