Paige did a wonderful job sitting for us. Our dog Hope is a fearful dog and she went above and beyond to make Hope feel comfortable. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her as my dog sitter again.

Matt did a fantastic job with our trio of dogs. Especially Ella who is a ME dog. He gave daily updates and even gave Snoopy a bath after Ella regurged on him. I will gladly rebook him for the next time we travel without them.

Kelsey was great! Excellent communication while I was on vaca! Couldn't have asked for a better sitter while we were gone! I will definitely be taking advantage of Kelsey's great sitter skills in the future!

About: I have had animals my whole life and I have love for all kinds of fur babies. I can’t wait to meet yours and shower them with love and attention! I just graduated college and am applying for corporate jobs at the moment, but so far am primarily pet sitting so my schedule is very open. I do not care for pets in my home as it is a shared space with roommates and pets. Thank you for your time and understanding.

This was our first time using Rover and what a great experience we, and especially our Libby, had with Stephanie. We had introductory meetings beforehand and Libby loved Stephanie right away. We received terrific pictures and lots of communication. Stephanie took great care of Libby and our home. It was truly a wonderful experience and we intend to reach out again when the next opportunity and need arises. Stephanie is a wonderful, caring, person and I highly recommend her.

About: I have always had animals while growing up in the house while having the joy to take care of them! I now have 2 cats that I have living on my own that I love and absolutely cherish! I promise to love your animal(s) the same! Right now I’m working a part time job trying my best to save money so being able to choose when I can help people will be an efficient way to make money on the side! In my home my two cats have pretty much free roam! If necessary they do each have a crate that they can be put into if anything needed to be however I have yet had a moment when necessary other than when they were in the healing process after being neutered! They have e set feeding times but always have fresh water available for them! This is just some of the things I do but however your routine works I’m sure I can fit right into it and help make things easier for you!

Paige is extremely reliable and she consistently offers excellent care to our beloved pets... Our pets love to be around her and because of this, we can be away from home without worrying about them for a few days... Thankful to have met her through this service...

Ronnie was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I am very particular about my little pet and she made me feel so comfortable knowing she was taking care of her. She followed all my notes to a "t" and even gave me a "poop report" that I asked for :). She is an amazing person and I can't say enough good things about her

I would give Jeannine ten stars, if that were possible. She took the very best care of my Murphy while I was on vacation. She sent me updates and pictures of Murphy having a wonderful time while in her care, and totally put me at ease while I was away from home. In addition to taking excellent care of Murphy, she went above and beyond taking care of my house while she stayed with him. I highly recommend Jeannine, and I know I will be booking her any time I need someone to take care of my boy.

Bailey was fantastic. House was just as it was left and I’m very happy I used Rover to find her. I was much happier leaving him with her than putting in a dare care type place. Bailey was very kind and I could tell she cares for pets well.

Cyndi was very trustworthy and reliable while watching our two dogs while we took a family trip. Usually our dogs stay with family while we travel, but I can tell Cyndi kept them comfortable and gave them all the snuggles they needed! She did a beautiful job cleaning our home too, which was completely unexpected! Cyndi is warm and welcoming and I'm confident she'd be an excellent care taker for anyone's pets and anyone's home.

I am currently working at a vet clinic as a veterinary assistant and I have gone to veterinary technician school. I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats. I am currently working full time at a vet clinic. I went to veterinary technician school but for now I’m working as a veterinary assistant. I can watch, walk or sit any day/ any time I have off normally Tuesdays, Sundays I’m also free anytime after 3:30 pm everyday. if u are unsure about a day or time I can watch your pet just message me and we can figure it out together. Im not currently caring for client pets in my home for the safety of my cats. I do offer house sitting at the clients house. If I’m staying at your house or just coming to let out your pet I can feed, water, brush and play with them if you are too busy or you just want your pet to have company I can also do that while you are at work or on a vacation.

About: I've been taking care of animals since I could walk. I can potty train puppies. And teach your babies so many cool tricks and teach them to wait for their food instead of rushing to it. I’m free most of the time I’m actually working on starting my own buisness in pet care and training! I love taking my pets out on car rides and walks. I dont have a fenced in yard but I prefer to go sit outside with the babies, and get some play time I while we're out there. I dont like leaving the babies outside all of their own but thats my person preference.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities for over 10 years. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I am patient, dependable, and make sure every pet feels loved and comfortable while their owner is away. I currently work full-time, but I am home by 4:00 pm during the week. I am available most weekends, so I can provide consistent drop-ins, walks, or playtime that fits your pet's routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience following detailed instructions and keeping pets on schedule with meals, walks, and medications if needed. In your home, I respect your space while making sure your pet feels secure and loved.

About: Hi there- my name is Destiny and I have been an avid animal lover since the day I was born. I have had cats and dogs within my care for as long as I can remember. I have taken in many stray cats and have got them neutered/ spayed and have found homes for them over the years. I believe that all animals are a true gift to us in this life. They are only here for a part of our lives but we are their whole life, so they deserve nothing but the utmost love given to them every day. I will treat your dogs/cats like they are my own. I currently work from home for my full time job, so I have adequate time to go on walks, play, and give your pet the attention it needs. I have a 2 bedroom apartment in Poland, Ohio, so I have many sidewalks and parks all by me to take your fur baby on all the walks and play times it needs. I do have a cat, but he is very sociable and friendly towards dogs.

Ashlee took on a two dog household for a week long stay as a dog and house sitter and did an amazing job. She was great at communicating before the stay and throughout the stay, and she could problem solve little things to not disturb me on my trip. Ashlee provided the dogs with exercise above what was asked, she cleaned up the house before she left (including the not so fun task of picking up poop from the yard!), and she kept my mind at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to book!
