“Marc continues to build his relationship with both of my dogs and their fondness for him grows with each visit. I am very grateful for this and the assistance he is providing to me.”
“Amanda updated me each time when leaving and my cats felt comfortable (which is surprising because one of them is very shy/reserved). Their litter was scooped and my animals were taken care of food/water wise. I would definitely request Amanda again based off the pictures taken when checking up on my cats.”
“Robyn was amazing with our boys. The dogs can be a lot for some people, but she treated them like they were her own. Robyn went above and beyond our expectations in every way. We would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
About: I've had and cared for pets my entire life. I've cared for dogs, cats, chickens, fish, ducks, snakes, a crab, hamsters, and rabbits, no partridge in a pear tree yet! I’m a graphic designer so I work from home. This mean I have very flexible availability to work from my clients home and give their pets a lot of extra love and care throughout the day. I also occasionally work on a farm but wouldn’t be away from my client’s pets for more than 4 hours. I am very thorough with my assessment and questions I ask when house/pet sitting at houses to make sure anything needed is available, or that I may be ready for any issue that may come up. I also LOVE to leave the house I'm sitting at better than I found it. My mother taught me at a young age how incredibly nice it is to return to a very clean house after a trip. It's a lovely gift I truly enjoy to give when I'm finished housesitting.
About: New to Rover, but I've been raising dogs all my life! My family had Labradors and Boxers, I adopted a Basset, and I married someone who loves her Maltese. My wife and I have a spacious house, a large yard, a covered deck, lots of napping couches, and several dog gates so we can give your pup as much supervision as you'd like. We can do meet and greet, a house tour, and an introduction to our own dogs, George (our Basset) and Milo (our Maltese). I work from home, which means your dog's schedule gets followed no matter what. I can easily accommodate frequent potty breaks, play sessions, cuddle times, feeding schedules, and walks. Our dogs (George and Milo) get time outside in the yard at each meal, at least one walk a day in the evening, and play time whenever they want it. Depending on your pup, they're welcome to join those routines, or do more or less. We have our home very intentionally set up for dogs. My work-from-home station consists of just a laptop, which means I can work from whatever room in our home makes your furry friend feel most at home. Our dog gates let pups roam while ensuring we can keep an eye on them. Our own dogs (George and Milo) are social but also independent, so if your pup prefers one on one time with humans, we'll make sure he or she gets it.
“We just love Sophie! She’s so great with our puppy! Her photos and elaborate review are fantastic and we look forward to our puppy’s report card every visit! We were nervous about having a rover but she really is the best and so flexible!!”
“This was my first time in 9 years leaving my dog with someone besides close friends or family. After my initial meet & greet with Janet, I was 100% comfortable doing so. She went above and beyond and I came home to a very happy dog! I will absolutely hope to have Janet help with future sitting or drop-in needs!”
“Amazing experience and I was so impressed with the pics and the updated. Hannah did everything that I asked and more. Her kids were a bonus for Harlie girl and she loved it!!! So happy to have this connection so close!”
About: I have taken care of dogs most of life, six dogs in total. Most recently I had a German Shepherd, Australian Cattle dog mix name Waylan. I started with Rover over 4 years ago and have sat for over 50 clients and 82 pets. To name a few I have taken care of Pit Terriers, Bull Terriers, Australian Cattle Dogs, Great Dane, Bearded Collies, Bearded Dragon, Mice, Hedgehog, and many cats. All from different families and all in-home stays. I consider myself an observant and knowledgeable animal lover. When it comes to special skills, I have experience training and administering medicine. My work schedule is M-F, 8:30 to 5pm in-office. Outside of those hours, I spend with your pets. Despite working full-time in-office, the happiness and safety of your pets is still my number one concern. I am looking forward to the care and attention I can give your pets in their home environment. I have experience taking care of dogs on farms, in apartments, and town homes.
About: Hello my name is Jason and I have grown up with dogs my entire life. My most recent dogs were a yellow and black lab (Cooper and Carter). As they aged, Cooper became a diabetic which required insulin shots twice a day. Unfortunately he also loss his eye sight because of it. I was his eyes and he trusted me where ever we went. They both lived to the young age of 14 years old. Sadly, I don’t think I could handle the loss of another loving dog but I would be honored to help take care of your lovable pets whenever you need it. I work full time but I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I can take them for a quick walk or if you need someone to stay while you’re out of town I can work from your house. I would be happy to take care of your pets at your house. Whether it’s taking them outside during the day, taking them for a walk, or staying a few days while you’re gone, I am happy to help.

Alex & Sarah S.
“Sarah and Alex were amazing with our dog. She's pretty shy and really just loves hanging out indoors, so we’re always a bit nervous leaving her with new people. But they made her feel right at home from the start. They sent us updates without us even having to ask, notes about how she was settling in and a bunch of pics of her napping by their window and getting all cozy on her blanket. They even asked us about her evening routine to make sure she stayed comfortable. We’ve already talked with them about our next trip. Couldn’t recommend them more!”
