“Alyssa is awesome! I'm so glad we found her. She came to walk our dog, Blue, while we were at work and then she took care of him while we were out of town. She did a great job and was super pleasant and easy to work with.”
“Jenna and Jason did a wonderful job caring for my sweet dog. They were on time, very kind, and asked all the right questions. My dog can be kind of skiddish, but they made her feel very comfortable. I will absolutely be asking them again to watch our sweet pup.”
About: I have experience staying overnight in clients’ homes to care for their pets, including senior and sick dogs who need extra love and attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy! I’m also happy to host pets in my own home, which is cozy and has a nice backyard for play and fresh air. I’m friendly, reliable, and treat every pet like my own💕💕🐶🐱 I currently am a senior in highschool who's unemployed so that means I have a lot of time! I'm almost always available and there when needed. I have a big fenced yard and do not have any other pets, so no need to worry about conflict with other animals! I treat every home and pet with care and respect and will make sure I keep you updated by sending you update pictures!
“Taylor really helped me out last minute. She was very kind and took great care of my 2 cats. They were very happy when I got home and everything was taken care of and tidy in my absence!”
“We’ve booked with Sidney multiple times and she consistently has the best communication and takes such great care of our pups. She is reliable and it’s such a huge relief to know that we will come home to happy, healthy pups after her diligent care.”
“Kylo was so happy with you, Becca! It make me so happy knowing that. I'm thankful that we found you and you'll definitely be the one I call first when we need a sitter. THANK YOU!!!”
“Kim was absolutely amazing! Beyond words but I'll try! This was our first time using Rover as we typically have friends in town that can help out with our cats, but they were also gone this week. Now I don't think I'll ever go back to having friends pet sit as long as Kim's available! My cats absolutely adored her, even the one that I've never seen come out for strangers or even friends had so much fun with her! It was so amazing knowing my girls were so well fed, played with and loved on while we were away! Thank you so much Kim!”
“Noel was absolutely amazing, she helped me so much with the extra requests I had and stayed till it was all done, very receptive and kind and I’d totally recommend booking with her!”
“Taylor went above and beyond to make sure Jax was comfortable and taken care of. We recently moved so he’s been very suspicious of strangers, but he loved her instantly. We will definitely be repeat clients”
“Grace took the time to come meet the dogs before her first visit. She was attentive to our dogs specific needs and even our dog who is more sensitive to new people took to her quickly. Great communicator and easy to work with!”
“Cassandra was great with our two boys! They felt very comfortable with her from the start. She sent lots of updates and photos and we came home to two happy dogs. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Lauren is trustful and very friendly. Even our skittish cat who is very wary of strangers, felt very comfortable with Lauren. He even ate treats from her hands. She is a pet whisperer. We were on a week long vacation, she took care of our cats very well and sent us pictures of them everyday. Highly recommended!”
“Alexis took excellent care of our 2 pups, sending videos and photos while we were away. One of our pups got sick while we were away and she was kind enough to clean up quite the mess and keep us updated. Highly recommend, great communication, would book again.”
“Kathleen did amazing with our dog Pepper. I am seriously so impressed. She is professional, accommodating, and gave Pepper the attention she needed. Will definitely be booking again for future walks!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life, I’m comfortable and capable! I have worked for several families throughout college and my serious year of high school! I am currently a full time student at Nichols College when I am also on the women’s lacrosse team. Despite this I have good time management skills so I will always have time for your dog or cat! I have a fenced yard at both of my parents houses. We have schedule feeds for dog. My cat is food trained and in an indoor/outdoor cat. I have had indoor and outdoor cats throughout my life. In college I do not have any pets.
“Amanda is ANAZING! She is always reliable and the dogs absolutely love her. She is also flexible and always communicates schedule changes. I feel so relieved knowing my dogs are in such good hands and actually loved on and cared for!”
“Rachel continues to be wonderful and I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t found her. I needed a ‘team’ to help me care for my 3 kitties for 6 weeks after surgery. Rachel helped me put things together. Without her, I would have been lost. She’s knowledgeable, prompt, loving and always willing to go the extra step. I have no hesitation in recommending her whole-heartedly. You can rest assured that your animal companions will be in good hands!”
Derby cat parents share their Rover experiences
Stephany is kind, reliable, and professional. She cleaned up a litter mess and also just made sure the litter boxes were clean and not just emptied. It’s that extra effort I really appreciate. My cat is also pretty picky, has hidden from a lot of Rovers but she loves Stephany’s kindness!
Alexis was reliable and professional! And also loving and sweet with our two dogs and two cats. She was flexible with our changing travel plans and helped problem solve issues like a beeping alarm system! I knew my fur babies were in good hands. Thanks, Alexis!
Jenny really spent time with my cat! I have had other cat sitters (from Rover) who spent 5 or 10 minutes, but Jenny spent 25-30 minutes to give my cat some play time and lots of love. I have a camera on my front door so I know how long the sitter stays. Jenny sent regular updates and was easy to work with.
Laura checked on our cat while we were away during the holidays. Laura is very responsive to all communication. She provided daily updates with pictures (even though our cat is super shy). It was great knowing that someone was checking on him every day. Laura, thank you so much for taking care of Fez!
McKenna took great care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. She fed them, played with them, and gave them attention. She left our house just as clean as when we left and took care of a excited eater's vomit. The cats love having her visit and we know they are in good hands.
