“Stephen was wonderful looking after our Ody our cat. He was super communicative and went above and beyond to make Ody comfortable. Thanks Stephen!”
“Caroline watched my dog for the first time and took such great care of her! She is a senior dog and Caroline makes sure to give her the attention she needs always. Thank you for all the pictures you send!”
“Danielle is truly the best! This is our first time using Rover so not only did she take great care of our Great Dane while we were away, she also eased our worries and concerns and educated us about the app and its services! We will definitely use it again! Every day she sent great updates along with a ton of photos and even threw in a walk which we greatly appreciated. My husband and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Lawrence was great with my pets and super communicative with me while I was out of town, appreciated all of the photos he sent and the time he took to get to know my kiddos!”
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life — dogs of all ages, guinea pigs, fish, and more. I truly enjoy giving animals love, attention, and fun! With no evening classes this semester, I have plenty of flexibility in the mornings. Walking dogs fits perfectly into my routine, and I enjoy starting the day active and outdoors. I give dogs freedom to sniff, stroll, and play at their pace—always sticking to their routine and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.
“Nice to come home after a week away to find a happy crew and a clean house! I never worry when Jamie is walking our dog and this time I asked Jamie to care for our foster cat as well. Got twice a day updates on the both of them. So great to know they are on good hands when I can’t be here.”
“Rachael is phenomenal. She recently looked after my two cats, and was very communicative about how they were doing and sent many photos through! She also incredibly graciously handled an alarm situation when I didn’t have cell service. I can’t recommend her more highly!”
“Abby was great with my 3 boys. 2 pitbulls and a cane corso are a LOT. lol i will be referring her and using her in the future, if she’ll have us. ? Thanks again Abby”
“Sarah is without question one of the best dog sitters we’ve ever had. Our senior dogs have become a bit high maintenance in their old age, and she handles everything with absolute grace. She goes above and beyond with every visit and we feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Morgan was awesome. She came by for a meet and greet prior to taking care of our two cats and did a great job while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will definitely be revoking her :)”

“Reka was amazing with Ruby! We went out of town for the weekend, and she was great with making sure she had all the info needed, communicating with us throughout, and just making sure everything was smooth!”
“If there’d been a 10-star rating option for this sitter, I’d have selected it expeditiously! While I was away on a 10 day vacation halfway across the world, Michelle went beyond Rover expectations—she exceeded in every category, from feeding to cuddling to playing. She even cleaned and tidied up an unexpected accident my cat had left during her last visit. I’m super impressed and happily pleased with Michelle’s service. Would I ever rebook with her?. . .Is the sky blue? Yes 👏🏾 Yes 👏🏾 YES 🙌🏾”
