“Joanne was great with my two goofy german shepherd mixes - we had a great meet and greet and my dogs immediately took to her. She came as scheduled and took great care of my babies like they were her own - fed them, lived on them, let them out for potty. She took pics and keep in touch with the details of the visits. Very confident and comfortable with my larger (70 lb) but very friendly pups. She let me know one of them had an accident and took care of cleaning that up for me (so sorry, thank you so much). I will definitely be in touch for the next time I need care for my pups. Thanks again!”
“Thank you Lucinda for being able to check in on my pup in such short notice! I really appreciate all the pictures you sent in the rover card!”
“Nicole did a great job checking in and feeding our cats. She provided us with pictures and daily updates. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Nicole for taking care of our cats.”
“Emily was great with our cats. She did exactly what we needed to keep them happy and healthy while we were on vacation.”
“Gianna was awesome! Super reliable and took great care of our pets while we were away. They sent updates and pics, which we really appreciated. Our pets seemed super happy and relaxed when we got back. Would definitely have them watch our pets again!”
“Barry did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Bean! He fed her, played with her, and gave her an insulin shot. We are grateful for his car and concern for Bean.”
About: I'm new to the pet service job, but I've owned two dogs since they were puppies. I have visited cats to clean their boxes and play with them, on behalf of friends that went away. I'm currently unemployed doing part-time jobs, so I have a lot of availability. I love both dogs and cats, and don't mind playing with them. I make sure my 6-year old Jack Russel mix, Finn, gets plenty of exercise and socialization. I take long walks in my neighborhood and enjoy taking him to the dog park.
“Great job.”
“We were very happy with Heather’s services. In addition to our cats she was very comfortable taking care of our parrot. A kind and caring pet sitter. She was also able to give medication twice a day to one of our elderly cats.”
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to chill senior cats, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning up messes, and giving meds if needed. I truly love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s a quick walk or a full weekend of care, I’m here to help and make your pet feel safe and happy. I am a college student with only a babysitting job at the moment! I can do early mornings, any time after 5pm and any time on the weekends! Caring for pets means ensuring their safety, comfort, and well-being at all times. I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow routines, and build trust through gentle, attentive care. I respect each pet’s unique needs, provide proper food, water, and exercise, and stay alert for any signs of stress or illness. Whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize security (closed gates/doors, safe toys) and maintain clear communication with owners.
“Celeste was amazing. Professional. We are so appreciative! Will book again!!!”
About: I have had my dog for years and have had a few cats as well as a bearded dragon and a snake. I have joined Rover to make some side cash while doing something I love: taking care of animals! I'm one of those people that things animals are better than humans and I will always protect them with my life. I currently work at a preschool 7:30-3:00, but depending on the commute and needs, I can stop by on my lunchbreak as well as before and after. If available, I am perfect to work weekends and overnight. I do have a few college classes that may interfere (depending on the semester at the time) depending on the needs. I am open to whatever you find your animal needs. Crating at night, you got it. Wants their dog to have someone to sleep with, you got it. Taking a 5 mile walk every day, you got it. I am used to bathing both cats and dogs no matter how difficult. I will treat your animal with the utmost respect and care that you show them.
About: I have many years experience of pet care from ownership to boarding to walks. I’m an outdoors womanI love all animals and will treat your pets like family because that’s what they are. I am retired and want to dedicate my free time to do what I love most. Spending time and caring for animals. I also know how to teach dogs some tricks they may not know yet. In the end you can rest well and know your pet will be safe with me. Your pet will have 1 on 1 time with me. If needed your pet will not have to be around other pets if that makes them uncomfortable. I understand that some animals don’t like to share their humans and can not coexist with other animals. I am an animal free home. Most of my lifelong experience has been with corgis and Australian shepherd’s although I’ve cared for many different breeds. I am always available for FaceTime during their stay. I don’t mind sending pictures and videos daily either I am retired and have an open schedule to dedicate my time to your pets. I love walking at all the different parks and bringing the pups with me to explore. I also have a pet friendly lake close by. If your dog is a swimmer i will gladly take them weather permitting. During their stay i will also have field trips to the dog park and other locations if you’re okay with me driving with your pet. I have 3 acres of property for your pet to explore. All my plants are pet safe. I don’t use any chemicals that are harmful in or outside my home. Over an acre is fenced in for your pet to run freely. On hot days I have baby pools i can fill up for your pet to play in. If your pet is a swimmer i have a beautiful pet friendly lake within 5 miles of my home and love to take them to swim. I also have several dog parks close by. When transporting your pet i have pet seatbelts for your pet’s safety. My home is extremely clean inside and out. Most importantly I will always have my eyes on your pet. They will not be left alone.
“Chelsea is so sweet, professional and kind I would highly recommend her to help with your family pet.”
About: I don’t discriminate against any type of breed. I care for them as they are my own . There is no problem for me in giving medications, if needed. I currently work full time . They would be taken care of in the morning, if needed at lunch time . Once done my normal work day, then I would go back to them for however long was needed . In the clients home : We would play, go for walks if the dog enjoys them . I like to snuggle and sit with them, I will converse with them . I always make sure they have fresh water .
“Dawn was great with my 2 big goofy shepherd mixes! She was available last minute do a meet and greet and do drop ins (let them out and feed them) during a holiday. She was accommodating to a last minute additional drop in and followed my instructions to a T for everything. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my babies. Thanks again!”
“Kristie is great! Within a week she came to house and met dogs twice to get familiar! We have two large Pitbulls that can be intimidating looking and she did not blink an eye to take care of them! Highly recommended!!”
“Brad and Julia are great!! Ya feel the good vibes you get from they’re pics- those are real. Really genuine, family oriented, and completely tuned in with animals! Could not recommend enough- they totally squeezed us in last minute happily! That I will be eternally grateful for, as I completely forgot about my own engagement party lol. Extremely good communication & interaction / enrichment with my puppy and two kitties! Thank you again so much! Couldn’t recommend this duo & their wee one more for taking care of your fur babes!”

“Lauren is great! She went above and beyond taking care of my three cats. One of my little ones require medication twice a day and she took care of that. I felt comfortable and knew my kitties were in capable hands and was able to enjoy my vacation without any worry. It was great getting pictures and updates every day to make sure my kitties were doing well. I will definitely have Lauren take care of my cats next time away.”

Ryan Marie J.
“Ryan is the best! She took perfect care of my 3 chihuahuas while I was on vaca. Chihuahuas are usually wary of strangers but due to Ryan's warm and loving nature and affection for dogs, they were instantly comfortable with her. Ryan is trustworthy, responsible, and so good with dogs! 10/10, can't say enough good things, highly recommend!”
Jennifer P.
“We needed a boarder for our Auggie who is not fond of other pets. Jen offered to block out dates for us so there wouldn’t be other pets with her. Our girl is very needy for attention due to me being a stay at home dog mom and available at all times for her. She has a potential to get jealous of other animals. Jen is a dream! She didn’t mind booking Darla as the only pet. We were happy to pay pick up drop off fee as we were very busy prior to traveling. She even has doggy seatbelts to keep them safe. She has a 3 acre farm with a large portion fenced in for your pups to roam free and off leash. There is also many trails to walk behind the fence. She didn’t mind us stopping by to check it out prior to our dates which we appreciated. Jen went the extra mile and took Darla out to explore. She even brought her swimming which she loves! She was able to get plenty of attention while we were away. She was always stimulated and even came home knowing how to roll over and play dead. She even includes an activity book with printed pictures, daily activities, meals and poop breaks for an extra $25. We loved the pics by the lake. If you don’t want the book she is more than willing to send all info via text/email. We also had daily FaceTimes! She was right on time with her medication. She was on anti-inflammatory meds for her hip. She would send us a daily texts at time of administering to keep our minds at ease. What stood out the most about Jen was that she offered special meals for an added cost. Her 1st day we ordered her a filet and rice and doggy ice cream for dessert just to give her a special treat after leaving her. We also chose chicken, lean ground beef and an egg and spinach breakfast which she loves! She offers grooming options bath and daily brushes, however no cut. Let’s just say your precious pet is on a luxury vacation with Jen, even without the extras. You’ll come home to a puppy who is healthy clean and happy. Once you go with her you will never allow your pet to stay anywhere else”

Katie D.
“Katie is the best at watching my cats while I am away on vacation. I have used her for many years. She has pet sit my cats who have health issues and requires daily medication. There is no doubt that I trust her with giving the medication to my cats. While I am away she sends me updates with pictures and videos showing what our cats are up to. She has stayed at my house while I was away because my cat Kiwi had suffered from seizures and needed to take seizure medicine. Katie is an amazing person who will take care of your fur baby’s and make sure they safe and happy while you are away.”
