“Laura just watched our two pups in our home this past weekend. She was fantastic!!! Our dogs absolutely loved her, and it was so nice (and less stressful) for them to be able to stay in their own familiar space. It was truly a pleasure to meet Laura, and she brought such peace of mind knowing that our dogs were happy and well cared for while we were gone. I’m so glad we found Laura on Rover. I highly recommend her”

“Slava and Sanjana were fantastic with our 14 week old puppy Luna, who was being left in the care of others for the first time. They were very quick to respond, followed our (very detailed) care instructions, were very prompt with scheduling and messaging, and sent frequent updates while we were away. It is especially helpful that they are a team, as puppies can be a handful! We will definitely be using their services again!”

“Kristi was awesome with our 3m old puppy Kobe and provided constant updates about what he was up to and made sure he ate and played as needed (additionally challenging since he hasn’t completed his vaccinations so he had to be tired out indoors). Would definitely ask Kristi to watch our dog again”

“Anne took wonderful care of our two year old doodle Zion for 5 days. She is a great communicator which put us at ease while we vacationed, sending texts and videos to us. She kept Zion busy on walks and playing games with him. We will use Anne in the future!”
“Natasha took such great care of our dog, Chico, while we were away. We really appreciated all the photo updates and check-ins she sent throughout the stay, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing Chico was happy and well cared for. She was also very respectful with our home, which we truly appreciated.”

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by cows, goats, chickens, cats, and dogs. This evoked in me a deep passion for animals, but especially dogs. My current occupation is nannying and I have been doing so for 10 years. I have also worked as a petsitter when the occasion arises. I love both of these jobs and this is the reason for deciding to sign up for this app. The way that I would describe myself is: responsible, caring, calm, sensitive, trustworthy, and reliable. I can easily create a connection with children and dogs alike, which makes them more comfortable spending their time with me. I feel comfortable sitting dogs of all sizes. I will genuinely love your pet and will always make sure to respond to his/her needs. Thank you for reading! Caring for pets is something I naturally build into my day. I make time for regular walks, feeding, play, and attention, and I enjoy creating a consistent routine that helps pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine, including feeding, walks, play, and rest. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, making sure they’re comfortable and safe at all times. In clients’ homes, I respect their space, keep everything tidy, and follow all instructions carefully. I also communicate consistently with updates, photos, and any important observations.
“Jennifer is amazing! She took care of our dog and 2 cats for 6 full days at our home. We got pictures and videos EVERY day! It gave us comfort that our fur babies were being care for just as we asked for! We will definitely use Jennifer again for our next trip! Many thanks Jennifer!”

About: I have been caring for animals since childhood, as we have always had pets in our home. I lost my beloved cat two years ago, and since then I haven't been able to get another pet, but I really enjoy taking care of other animals and filling the void in this way. in fact, besides Rover, I have a second job, but I manage to do everything because this work lasts half a day. so i can put it all together We live in a 2 person house. Both are very fond of animals. all questions will be asked to you, I mean how many times should you feed your pet? Or how many times does he go to patchwork? and based on your answers, I do everything as you say
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Rylie and the exceptional care she provided for my two Pomeranians while I was away. From the moment we met, it was clear that Rylie has a genuine love for animals. She took the time to understand each of my dogs' unique needs and personalities, ensuring they felt comfortable and loved in my absence. If you are looking for a pet sitter who is responsible, loving, and attentive, I highly recommend Rylie. She truly exceeded all my expectations and ensured my dogs were not just taken care of, but genuinely loved and happy. Thank you, Rylie, for being such an amazing pet sitter!”
“Gloree was communicative, professional, friendly and personable. She got along great with my dogs which is no small feat because on of our dogs is aloof. She also kept our house clean. We will be using her again!”


About: I have had pets my entire life and they are my prized jewel. I believe the love on an animal is like no other. I have pet sat for years and I will treat every animal like my own! Whether it’s a walk, drop in visit, or over night stay. I will make sure your fur babies get the love, rubs and attention they deserve! I am currently not working and I have all the time to spoil your babies! Whether if you plan a trip in advance or last minute needs, I would be honored to support! My cats are spoiled as they should be. From their multiple cat towers, to their unlimited rubs, I would say THEY truly run the house. I do everything in my power to ensure they are loved and cared for like my own children. I have never met an animal that hasn’t been comfortable with me, and I ensure they are in a calm, safe environment.
“Leilani took took care of our dog and cat while we were away over the weekend. She did a great job caring and connecting with them. We would definitely use her services again!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child. They were always large dogs like Dobermans, standard Poodles, Golden Retrievers, and Old English sheep dogs. My current dog is a smaller terrier mix. I’ve been to dog obedience school with my dog and have watched many a Lucky Dog episode. I’m looking for a way to keep active in retirement. I’m interested in walking pets to keep active in retirement. I know what it is like to try to find a trustworthy person to care for my pet and want to be there for others if I can. I have a fenced yard for my dog. But I also walk him three times a day. I consider my dog to be a member of my family and will treat you dog likewise
“Jada was so amazing with Flo! She took the time to come over for a meet and greet before staying with Flo and Flo loved her right away. She even came to my dog meet-up group so she could meet the other dogs and their owners. Flo was a bit shy at first but Jada quickly won her over. By the end of the stay Flo was snuggling with her. My house was immaculate and she even got my mail, brought in packages and put Flo's Frontline treatment on her. I can't say enough about using Jada for any of your dog care needs!”

“Savanna watched our cat and dog for multiple days. Savanna sent us daily pictures of our animals and communicated with what was going on with them. The animals were well taken care of and we appreciate all the love she gave them while we were away.”

“Colleen is so wonderful. She made sure our puppy was well loved even so much that Peggy went looking for her the morning after she left. She sent pictures and videos and it relieved any stress I may have had about leave my little fluff. Thank you so much Colleen.”

About: With over five years of pet care experience, I got used to pet sit both in France and California. Taking good care of all kind of pets, i know how to adapt and build trust. I offer personalized attention and gentle handling to ensure their comfort and well-being. My commitment to building strong bonds with pets goes along with my flexibility in meeting individual needs. As a 9-to-5 worker in a pet-friendly office, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for walks and visits before and after work, as well as in the evenings and on weekends. This allows me to give your pet the attention and care they deserve without feeling rushed. Whether it’s a morning stroll or an evening play session, I’m dedicated to making your pet's routine as comfortable and enjoyable as possible! ( I can bring your pet along if they’re comfortable in an office environment!) I prioritize safety and trust in every pet care situation, whether at my home or yours. In my home, I have a secure space free from hazards, with cozy areas for relaxation and play. I ensure all pets have access to fresh water, and I keep a consistent routine to help them feel comfortable. At your home, I respect your pet’s environment, maintaining their usual routines and providing a familiar atmosphere.

Regular updates and communication are also key (i love sending pictures!), so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!

About: As a devoted pet owner and active foster volunteer, caring for animals is a huge part of my daily life. I currently care for my own dog, two male cats and regularly foster kittens, giving me hands-on experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, and young kittens. I'm attentive to details, reliable, and committed to providing regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind during your time away. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family and look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Pets are a big part of my daily routine. I start each day by feeding my resident dog and foster kittens, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water bowls, and making sure everyone gets the attention they need. Throughout the day, I incorporate walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection into my schedule. Because I foster kittens, I'm experienced in maintaining consistent feeding schedules, monitoring behavior and health, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for animals of all ages. Caring for pets isn't something I fit into my routine—it's already a regular part of my life and something I genuinely enjoy every day. When caring for pets, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I follow each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, medication instructions (if applicable), and any other care preferences provided by the owner. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and affection while their family is away. During dog walks, I prioritize safety and tailor the walk to the dog's energy level and needs. For drop-in visits, I ensure pets have fresh water, are fed, have potty breaks, and get quality one-on-one interaction. As a pet owner and foster volunteer, I understand the importance of trust and communication. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
Dougherty pet parents share their Rover experiences
Natasha took such great care of our dog, Chico, while we were away. We really appreciated all the photo updates and check-ins she sent throughout the stay, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing Chico was happy and well cared for. She was also very respectful with our home, which we truly appreciated.

We needed a sitter for our two cats for a one-month trip oversea. We decided to give a try to Rover and found Janet. Janet's profile is a perfect match for us. We did an introduction, found her easy going, kind and loving hence quickly decided to go with her. Janet took good care of our two cats. Our cats (including the shy one) bonded with her quickly. She communicated well and sent periodical updates with pictures/ videos. We were able to enjoy our trip without worrying about the cats. The house was left the way it was when we returned. We had a good first experience with Rover and Janet and will definitely book with her again!
We are so grateful for Adriana! She did an amazing job caring for our 11-week-old puppy. As you can imagine, a high-energy puppy is a lot of work, but Adriana handled it perfectly, keeping her entertained, active, and well cared for. She was also a wonderful guest in our home. We are so thankful we found her on such short notice and would highly recommend her for pet sitting. We feel so lucky to have had her with us this weekend!

Kristina did an amazing job watching our precious dog Nelson at our wedding reception. She was attentive to his needs and flexible with all the chaos of the event, making sure Nelson was taken care of, walked, and soothed when he needed it. We are so grateful to her!

Pheobe is a gem! She follows directions, left our home clean, and most important loved and cared for our boys. We saw pictures daily of their walks and other activities and were given reports of how things were going. With our boys in Phoebes care we were able to relax and enjoy our time away. Thank you , Phoebe!
Andrew was really great taking care of our dog Kenzo and Louie. He was on time for their meal time, potty breaks and their walks. He provided constant updates and sent pictures. Whenever we need someone to watch our fur babies again, we will definitely book with him.
