“Gina was wonderful to work with. She was super responsive while setting up visits, and gave lots of love to our kitties while we were away. Would highly recommend!”

About: My Rover teammate, Naomi, and I have ample experience with all the responsibilities that come with caring for dogs and cats, including crate training, exercise routines, and sticking to a feeding schedule. We currently care for two sweet, inseparable dogs - Baloo and Meadow. Since a young age, I've cared for every animal under the sun - from ferrets and hamsters to dogs and cats. I have direct experience with labs, terriers, setters, and other mixed breed dogs. These pets have ranged in age from puppy to senior. Naomi also grew up caring for dogs and cats, which included Australian shepherds (as well as many farm animals). On weekdays, we take Baloo and Meadow on several walks/hikes during the day, including in a forest preserve adjacent to our home. On weekends, we like to take them on longer hikes on nearby trails or in Acadia. Our neighborhood is safe and quiet with little traffic, and our home is tucked away from major roads. On a normal day, we take our dogs on a long walk once in the morning and once in the evening. If your dog enjoys extended outdoors time, we are happy and able to provide it.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs growing up in my household and was the main caretaker until my dog was 16 years old. I currently have a 3 year old golden, so I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I’ve been a consistent sitter for friends and family over the past few years and have been an active dog walker on other apps for the last 5. Whether your dog has puppy energy and needs a big hike or walk, or your dog needs a slow, gentle care, I’m ready to give your dog the attention they need. I’m current working part time on weekends. But during the week, am very flexible. i would be the perfect person to take your dog out in the middle of the day, while you’re at work! I make sure I understand your dogs needs. What is there daily routine? Do they have allergies, health concerns, or medicine needed? Are there behavioral tendencies I should be aware of (aggression, anxiety, socialization)? These will help me understand how to best care for your dog.

About: I have had a dog for 14 years and a cat for 9 years, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I take pride in giving each animal the same level of love and attention I give my own—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work full-time during the day but have plenty of time in the evenings and on weekends to dedicate to pets. My schedule allows me to give them lots of attention after work for walks, playtime, and cuddles, as well as focused care throughout the weekend. I make sure each pet’s needs fit naturally into my routine so they always get consistent love, care, and companionship. I care for dogs and cats as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their regular routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and litter care, and I always take time to understand each pet’s unique personality. Since I have cats at home, I can only host dogs who are calm and friendly with feline friends. My goal is to keep everyone happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Karen took our Momo for walks while we were on vacation near Acadia national park. Flexible schedule, easy to work with, took him out and brought him back in our cottage while we were out doing non-dog friendly activities. Great communication with photos - thanks Karen!”

“Lindsey provided excellent care on walks with my dog. He is a strong German Shepherd and someone needs good dog handling skills to call on his obedience training. My dog loved Lindsey and their walks. She was timely, communicative, and kind. Thank you!”

About: Hi, my name is Kahree. I am a hardworking animal lover. I've been dog walking in the Wheaton/Glen Ellyn area for about 3 years now. I am open to all ages and breeds of dogs. I've bathed, walked, and watched dogs in the past. Overnight stays also won't be a problem as long as I receive a weeks notice. The greater outdoors is my play ground. I am a very patient, responsible, and outgoing 23 year old. My school schedule is flexible so I can work around your job hours. I am very trust worthy and honest. I can provide references if needed. *If this post is not modified as of 03/23/2020 I'm still fully available. I look forward to meeting you and your four legged furry friend!

About: Hi ! My name is Dan I am 23 and hoping to use this app to make a little extra cash and to both have the ability to create a better environment for people’s pets than is typical in a shelter and to meet new people. I’m open to working with the owners on specific needs of their pets and I aim to provide an individualized service. I grew up always having a dog and miss having one in the house. So I have a long history of walking and taking care of dogs. If your dog would rather run than go for a walk that’s even better ! Walking or running with your dog, dog sitting, dog boarding...anything. Let me know how I can possibly be of help. Thank you !

“Phenomenal experience with Charlotte!!! My puppos had the best day with her visits. Having the updates and photos made me so happy. She was attentive and truly went above and beyond with the care of my dogs. Thrilled to have connected with her and cannot wait to use her again!! 🥰 Thank you again for going above and beyond!”

About: I've had dogs most of my life. I've walked dogs I've watched friends dogs. I now have my first reactive dog of my lifetime so I'm open to walking other reactive dogs. I can follow protocols you have in place and we can go to mostly remote areas. I'm open to it reach out. My schedule is pretty flexible right now since we're not in the summer season. I'm looking to fill my time with dog walking and sitting thanks:) I can come to your house and take your dog on walks or runs. I have a van so if crating is something your dog needs to travel I can offer that.

“Kelly is wonderful! She was super easy to communicate with to discuss my cat’s needs. Although my plans changed, I have zero doubt that my cat would have been in excellent hands while I was away. For future travel I definitely hope to use Kelly!”

“Kirk was an awesome pet-sitter. He was on-time and attentive to our two cats, and was diligent in providing updates and photos for each visit. We'd definitely book with him again.”

About: Hello! I'm Ashley. I am 35 years old. I am from Stuart, FL. I am working in Bar Harbor for the summer and have recently decided to stay through winter until April 2026. I have always been an animal lover and if I could afford a farm and have every type of animal in it... I would. I have owned, dogs, fish, and birds. I have had dogs most of my life. I had a Jack Russell who lived to be 11 years old named Romeo...He was a ball of energy, he had eye problems and needed drops daily. I also had a Rat Terrier named Oliver, we bought him at a year old. He lived to be 14 years old. Most recently my sister currently has a mini golden doodle, who is 4 years old. I loved taking my dogs on the trails in the parks. If I didn’t travel so much, I would love a dog of my own. I work seasonal contract jobs outside the National parks, mainly in the summer season. I go walking everyday & I would love to bring your pup with me. I am renting an apartment but I also work downstairs from it so I can check on them and take them out throughout the day

About: If you’ve ever owned a pet, you already know how much fun and affection they can bring. But did you know that pets also come with some pretty powerful mental and physical health benefits? Dogs in particular can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, ease loneliness, encourage exercise and playfulness, and even improve your cardiovascular health. Caring for a dog can help children grow up more secure and active. Dogs also provide valuable companionship for older adults. Perhaps most importantly, though, a dog can add real joy and unconditional love to your life. More than any other animal, dogs have evolved to become acutely attuned to humans and our behavior and emotions. While dogs are able to understand many of the words we use, they’re even better at interpreting our tone of voice, body language, and gestures. And like any good human friend, a loyal dog will look into your eyes to gauge your emotional state and try to understand what you’re thinking and feeling (and to work out when the next walk or treat might be coming, of course). I have a dog 🐶 at home, 2! It’s second nature 2 me, but always a priority 2 ensure the pets I look after have 100% of my attention while 2gthr. I never forget 2 fill water bowls, provide reward treats, feed on time , get outside of course, excercise at least 30mins a day & have calm comfortable place 2 sleep. It’s easy 2 do since I need many of the same things they need!! I truly adore dogs. In 2021 I saved the life of a choking dog using choking protocol & cpr. His name is Savoy, an 11yo JRT living in Copley Sq. After I saved his life, he was rushed to the emergency ASPCA in Brookline where he spent 8 hours on a breathing machine to regain healthy oxygen levels. His family is forever grateful for saving his life & I’m overjoyed knowing he’s happy & healthy again. I’ll never forget that day. R . O . V . E . R . S . T . A . R . S . I . T . T . E . R . R . O .

“Great visit with Carly. Sofia sent photos and updates every time she visited I would recommend her to anyone that wants peace of mind that their pets are being taken care of.”

“Julia took very well care of our cats! This was our first time using the Rover app, and it can be difficult welcoming a stranger into your home. Julia was very welcoming and kind that it made us comfortable. We were gone for 2 1/2 weeks and she was responsive and detailed in her visits. We will definitely use Julia in the future for any cat sitting needs!”

“Glendon was so outstanding- super attentive to my elderly cat’s needs over a holiday, great communication, and a true animal lover. Glendon also shared amazing fun video check ins, a real bonus. I can’t recommend highly enough if you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family!”

About: Hello! I'm Jess - I'm from Northern California and moved to Maine last year. Growing up we always had dogs (and sometimes cats), so I learned to take care of pets from a young age. I was the go-to person in my neighborhood for pet-sitting and dog-walking. Currently I have one pup - Bodhi, a 2.5 year old black lab. I look forward to meeting you & your fur babies! I'm currently unemployed and looking for part-time work, so my schedule is clear at the moment. My availability is wide open to care for your pet! I love making every animal feel cared for - from playing with them, going on long walks outside, providing pets and cuddles, giving them occasional treats, etc. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I also love to send little text and video updates, so you can check in on them while you're away. I've even done FaceTimes with pets and their owners!
