“This was our first time using Laura through Rover, and we couldn’t be happier. I was a bit nervous at first, but she was fantastic with our dog, Brownie. You can tell she really cares Brownie did great with her! Communication was fast and easy; she always responded quickly to messages. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be rebooking her soon. Highly recommend!”
“Wendy is such a genuinely nice person. She was on time and sent a nice picture of our dog enjoying her time outside. Highly recommend Wendy! We are re-booking several times over the fall season already!”
“Haleigh is a true professional. Excellent communication, trustworthy, went above and beyond to take care of our sweet Daisy. We will use her services any time we are in need of pet services!”
“Kristin was great with my kitty’s. She made sure they got fed and one of the cats got meds. It was easy to book with her at the last minute when I could see not book anyone else. After getting home and greeting my cats I can tell they were not lonely while we are gone. I so appreciate her and my cats liked her being there. I would definitely book her again.”
“I had Ashley come and visit with my dog Princess for a week while I was away and she did an awesome job, no complaints! Very good at keeping me updated and she was able to make Princess a little more comfortable with being alone at home. I will definitely be booking with Ashley for any future trips.”
“Hana did an amazing job with my cat. He immediately warmed up to her from the first meeting and I knew he was in great hands while I was away. Excellent communication, cared for him like he was her own pet! Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Hannah was totally awesome! She dropped in on our two cats while we are out of town. Both days, she made sure to send a detailed message about what happened in the visit, and sent pictures of both the cats playing or being pet, so we knew they were in very good hands! She was great at coaxing out one very shy kitty, and trying to make friends with the other somewhat grumpy kitty. We’ll definitely be asking Hannah if she’s available to come back for any future trips!!”
“Jasmine is AMAZING!!! We have 4 HIGH energy dogs with separation anxiety and we, ourselves, have mad anxiety about leaving them alone for any period of time. She was open to helping us scent-train our dogs to learn her smell before coming over. And she was also open to both meeting us and doing a trial visit before we booked out a longer trip. On the day of the actual visit, she was SO communicative + helpful the entire time. Plenty of pictures and the pups who are wary of strangers, LOVE HER. We are so relieved to have found the perfect dog sitter for our babies and can rest-easy knowing they will be in her care while we’re gone. Book her!!!”
“Machalia was amazing! She was so nice and communicated well throughout the whole process! As soon as I met her for our meet and greet I felt so much better knowing my babies were in her care. I have two cats and one is older and has diabetes so I am always extremely nervous trusting her with anyone. Machalia kept in contact the whole time and made sure to send updates and lots of pictures. She gave me peace of mind by including a picture of Honey’s dose each time she gave her her insulin (which she didn’t have to do but she still did it each time so I knew she was getting the correct dose) My babies were in such great care and I will definitely be using Machalia in the future- I highly recommend her especially to those who are nervous about someone administering medication!!!”
“Teresa was great! She kept me in the loop with my babies (kitties) while we were gone; she even washed their food bowls! I really appreciate that she was willing and able to help it with such short notice.”
“I can’t think of a more loving and capable caregiver than Brittany! Brittany did an amazing job with my Scarlett! My dog took a liking to Brittany immediately and she just connected with her so well. Brittany was extremely communicative, friendly, and very professional. We will be using Brittany regularly in the future for all our pet caregiving needs, and we would recommend her to anyone!”
About: When growing up my mom ran a dog rescue, so I leaned how to train and calm dogs during a stressful time. I then volunteered at the local shelter to get my volunteer hours in high school. I recently worked at a vet where i further learned how to administer medications. I am currently a college student working part time, and so there are multiple days and times where I am free to hang out with these pets! I make sure to always keep a tidy litterbox in my apartment for my two boys. I promise keep your place as clean as can be while watching your pets. I can also crate them, or anything of the sort that they’re normally used to when you’re gone.
“she was awesome and very attentive my fur babies needs.. so much so the lacey warmed up to her in no time.. next time I need pet care I will definitely be using her again.. I highly recommend her for your fur babies too”
“Stephanie was AMAZING!!! Best cat sitter I’ve ever had by far. She was communicative in just the right way, and I loved how she showed you each drop-in when she started and stopped. She went above and beyond, even bringing a small bag of treats over when I told her I didn’t get around to buying any before my trip and felt bad about it! So sweet, I would DEFINITELY recommend her!!💕🥰😻”
About: I have cared for all size dogs for about 5 and a half years. I’ve adopted dogs for the day and cared for neighbors dogs. I have all the free time in the world now that I am home from college. My availability is very flexible and can be easily adjusted. I never touch things that are not mine and that have not been specified that I can touch. If a mess is made, it is instantly cleaned.
About: I’ve been taking care of family pets, neighbors, and friend’s pets for around 9 years. People have trusted me with dogs and cats, all ages and sizes. In the recent years, I used to foster dogs of all ages, some for 2 weeks at a time and others for many weeks. I love animals, and this is a great way to help when I can. I can walk your pet, sit with them, play with them, feed them, or if you’re out of town for a few days I am happy to make sure they are as happy as can be until you return. Whatever you need, I am here to help! I am happy to come to your home. I have a dog, but no fenced in yard. I will not bring her unless you specifically request me to.

Tyranique G.
“Tyranique is a true guardian angel to animal. I’ve watched her gently cradle tiny, injured sea creatures back to life, guide wandering ducks across busy streets, and rescue lost dogs from the roadside, nursing them to health and finding them loving homes. With Tyranique, every animal- big or small, feathered or furry- is cherished and safe in her care. Her compassion and sense of responsibility are unmatched and I can’t think of anyone better to trust with your pets.”
Ashley B.
“Ashley is an awesome pet sitter for our dog, She is kind, caring, loving and takes care of our dog Bentley following the directions that we leave for her. . We could tell the first time she watched him how much she loves animals. We recently adopted a kitten which she takes care of too. Ashley gives us updates and feedback as to how they are doing . It is nice to go on vacation and not have to worry about our furry family! You won't be disappointed if you have Ashley watch your furry family members!!”

Machalia was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She was extremely attentive and communicative, sending me regular updates along with plenty of pictures of them having fun and enjoying their walk. She showed so much respect and genuine care, paying attention to every detail of their routine. I came home to happy, relaxed pups who were clearly comfortable and stress-free after being with her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter and will definitely be booking with her again!
Anna was wonderful. My 3 cats are pretty skittish and generally not great with strangers. Because of this I had told Anna that she shouldn’t expect to see them when she came. My expectation was that Anna would check their food and cat and scoop the litter pans. Anna went beyond my expectations and even was able to spend a little time with my cats and sent me pictures which was very reassuring while I was away. I would HIGHLY recommend Anna!!
SO happy to have found Korinna! My pup is not easy, he is sweet but not easy. He is rambunctious and reactive on leash but Korinna never hesitated! She was happy to meet before so that both me and my pup were comfortable and was super responsive and reliable. She also took such great pictures to make my work day! Truly think no matter what type of pup you have Korinna can be your girl! ✨ 🥰 100% will be booking again and again, if she’ll have us 😉
As always, Christi comes through with a save. Since discovering Rover, we've never booked anyone else for our cats but Christi. It's always Christi. My husband and I trust her, but most especially our cats. For this visit, I accidentally booked her for both kitties, and when I corrected that and clarified that we'll only need her to give my diabetic cat a shot and my hisband will handle the rest, she was gracious and honest to modify the charges. We've already made plans for the next time we're going to need her and I'm glad she has our dates penciled out! As always, CHRISTI IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
