“Kelsey took such good care of my cat while we were away! She was able to get our shy little cat to come out of her shell and live her best life! I’ll definitely be looking for Kelsey again if I need to re-book.”
“Kim did a great job taking care of our cats! She provided lots of pictures and details letting us know how they were doing. Having her drop in really put us at ease while we were away. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Lauren was communicative, thorough, and got along so well with my cat, even with short notice! It was a load off my mind while traveling, and I really appreciated her time and work.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life, with experience caring for dogs of many different sizes and breeds. While taking care of your pet I will make them feel at home, maintain their routine with them and give plenty of attention. Pet care is vital in my house. With 3 animals to take care of, I have daily routines set in place in order to ensure my pets are well taken care of. We have a fenced in yard and space to run around, and a quiet, no-outlet neighborhood with no drive-thru traffic for walks. There is a dog bed for sleeping and a crate if needed.
“This was our first time using Rover & we were very pleased! Our pup can be a lot of work, but Suzanne took great care of her. Very kind. Attentive. Lots of pics, which put me @ ease being gone for the day :)”
“Brian has helped us out when we’ve needed a last-minute dog sitter, has been flexible when we need to adjust, and above all he cares for Gus like family. We have booked Brian’s services several times and intend to continue!”
“Kaitlyn was great! She took excellent care of our kitties while we were away and sent us daily updates and pictures. I would definitely book with Kaitlyn again in the future.”
“Abby did a great job taking care of our babies while we were out of town. Her excellent communication made it possible for us to enjoy our time away. We will definitely want to have her back next time and would recommend her to anybody!”
“Taylor was very communicative and sent lots of pictures while watching our cat, Birdie. She took great care of her, and we would absolutely book Taylor again!”
“Nowinza was wonderful with Daisy! Asked specific details about her care ahead of time, was very pleasant and even dried her off after a walk.”
“Molly was easy to communicate with and consistent in dropping by at the same time each day. I also appreciated that she visited prior to the stay starting in order to see my house and meet Savannah.”
“Abby was fantastic! We were worried about using Rover for the first time but ended up being SUPER impressed with the checkin system and Abby's work. She sent us pictures and an update every day. She was really quick to respond and nice to meet. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Elizabeth did a great job checking in our dogs. We have an older one that has been placed on new meds that needs to be let out and a younger one that has a lot more energy. She communicated very well and provided really nice updates! I highly recommend!”
“Claire has been amazing with our two dogs! She is very responsive in scheduling requests, and you can tell that she loves animals. She is particularly good at working with dogs who have been rescued and take a little warming up to. Oh, and the photography skills are on point too! We look forward to working with her again in the near future!”
“Samantha responded promptly to my request and was willing to help last minute while I was traveling. She was very thorough with her notes and took lots of photos! By which I could tell Milo was delighted to have her care for him. Thanks so much for helping out with my hectic request! We would definitely recommend Samantha! ?”
“Amanda did great work watching our fur babies (+ plants) and keeping us updated while we were out of town. I will definitely reach out again for cat sitting!”
“Ali has been an absolute miracle worker for our family. We have two rescue dogs with a wide range of behavioral issues. One, Stevie, is anxious all the time, has separation issues, and is a resource guarder. The other, George, came from a hoarding situation where she had little contact with humans. When she finally did interact with people due to being heartworm positive and having health issues, she had to go through painful procedures, and as a result, she has deep trust issues. Ali brings the perfect personality and energy to the equation. She is gentle and kind, meeting them where they are. She earned their trust easily by making it about their experience versus forcing her way in. She is an excellent communicator and asked a lot of great questions before our group meeting. We have a cat too. =) We were able to take our first week-long vacation recently thanks to Ali. And we could do so in complete confidence that everything was taken care of, and the pictures she sent us daily reflected happy pets!! We came home to a calm and spotless house, and for the first time, there were NO indicators that our "kids" were unhappy or stressed about us leaving. They may have had a better time with Ali than we did in Punta Cana!! Do yourself and your pets a favor and hire Ali. She is the absolute greatest!”
“Couldn’t be happier with the way Holly handled the drop-in visits for our dogs. She shared photos and updates after each visit and it was very comforting. I could tell the dogs enjoyed her visits. Would absolutely book again!”
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and other furry friends my whole life. I understand animal behaviors, body language, etc. so I feel confident I’ll keep your pet safe and at ease. I will treat your dog or cat with care, patience, and so much love as if they were my own! I showed animals in 4-H growing up, including dog showmanship (agility, obedience) with my Corgi and Pomeranian. I have always been comfortable around animals and always keep their well being in mind. My schedule is wide open this summer! If you have any questions or would like to try to work something out, just message me 💕 I have a wood panel fenced-in backyard that is just waiting for your dog to run around in! Aside from a shed and patio furniture, the yard is clear for them to roam.
“If I could give Ariel 10 stars, I would! We booked a last minute vacation, and Ariel agreed on short notice to drop in twice daily on our cat. Super responsive, dependable, and easy to communicate with! Ariel went above and beyond, and she also checked on a few minor household items. Our cat is super social and needs lots of love and attention! He cozied right up to Ariel. She provided him lots of playtime and showed up for every visit on time.”

Eastown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jenn took excellent care of our two middle-aged female cats, both of whom tend to have issues with strangers. (One hides, the other scratches without provocation.) Jenn handled both of them expertly and kept us up-to-date during our 8-day vacation with brief reports and photos twice a day. We would recommend Jenn’s services to any responsible pet owner.
Emily did an amazing job watching my two cats! She gave thorough and fun updates and I knew my kitties were safe and having fun. My cats as specific diets and she was great with them and was communicative throughout
Brian helped me out in a pinch, as I needed to make a last-minute trip out of state for a family funeral. Grateful for his help!
Elizabeth did a great job checking in our dogs. We have an older one that has been placed on new meds that needs to be let out and a younger one that has a lot more energy. She communicated very well and provided really nice updates! I highly recommend!
Kate did a great job with our dog. We appreciate her time and sending pictures. I look forward to using her again soon!
Lauren was super responsive and really helped me out when I couldn’t take care of my brothers dogs. Highly recommend!
Jenna is amazing and we have rebooked her now for the second time! I would trust Jenna with my pet any day and I know that she gives the care and comfort our pet needed while we are out of town!
Rachael always does a great job! She is definitely my top choice for my cats. She takes wonderful care of them, sends a great report and takes 10+ photos every time.
We love Alli! She's reliable, caring and a great communicator. Our cat is often aloof to new people but loved her from the get go... and we all know pets are the best judges of character. :)
Kaitlyn was fantastic! I hadn't used Rover before and didn't completely know what to expect, but she did such a great job with my fluffy little buddy. If she's good with dropping by to take care of Loki again -- I think that'd be the case (but don't want to assume) -- I'll definitely book her again whenever I go out of town. And I definitely recommend Kaitlyn if you are looking for someone to watch after your furry, fuzzy, and/or fluffy buddy!
Hank had the best time with Josie! Josie was very communicative which I greatly appreciate and coming home to a non-stressed dog is the best. I will definitely use her again in the future 🥰
Abbie takes great care of my puppy! She is so personable and you can tell that she loves animals. 10/10 would recommend her to all! I love the pictures and updates she gives as well while I’m at work.
Was extremely flexible and willing to work with my reactive, high-anxiety dog to build trust before house-sitting. Thanks again!
Rebecca was amazing! Super communicative and kept me updated all week with how my cat was doing, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. She clearly cares and went above and beyond. I'll definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend.
Our dog, Penny is an anxious rescue dog. She’s not an easy pup to work with because she’ll freeze with anxiety or avoid you until she’s comfortable. She immediately liked Hannah and we felt that Hannah could use her good judgment in any situation that might arise. I feel so fortunate to have found Hannah. We will definitely rely on Hannah in the future.
I can definitely see that Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of our cats. I could see in their faces in the updates and tell in their body language when we returned that they didn’t miss us too much. Amanda did a great job entertaining and maintaining their schedules. This was a stress free vacation for me and the cats!
Sarah is wonderful! Responsive and enthusiastic! I felt great knowing she was going to take care of my dogs.
Brittany was really flexible with time changes. She checked in during her visit about Niko just chilling but once she found the frisbee he found a new friend.
I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt compelled to make an exception for Evelyn. She took excellent care of our pets with great attention and care. She followed every instruction to the letter and clearly takes her responsibilities seriously. It’s rare to come across someone so reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. Just a really nice kid with a great attitude. Highly recommended!
