“Ash took amazing care of our Bella, Max and Smokey. Bella loved her walks and grooming by Ash. Our shy cats even warmed up to Ash. Ash spent a great deal of time with our animals and was a great communicator.”
“Ace is our go to person for our very anxious yet adorable Beagle. Our pup is so well taken care of by Ace. We have no worries when they are on the job!”
“Nexsy was incredible. She helped on short notice and still snuck in a meet and greet. Polite, kind, and very understanding of our dogs. She went above and beyond during the time she spent with them by doing some helpful behavioral training. We felt they were in safe and capable hands. Highly recommended!”
“Erin did a great job taking care of our dog and house. Our dog was healthy and happy when we returned home and our house was exactly as we had left it. We hope Erin is available the next time we travel.”
“Robb was able to make my dog feel very comfortable at home. He was skilled and let me know if even the slightest thing was off. Will definitely be using him again for trips away.”
“Kaitlynn was amazing! My dogs have special needs and their care instructions are very specific. She kept their routine and did perfect! She gave my dogs much love and attention. She is the only sitter I would trust with my dogs. After I got back home, I asked one of my dogs (she uses button communication) if Kaitlynn was nice and she said yes! 🐾”
“Julissa is amazing! If I could give 10 stars I would. She kept us very informed about her stay and our fur-babies. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be booking her again!”
“I used Adara for an overnight stay with my 2 pups. I came home to a clean house and happy pups! Good communication while I was away and lots of pictures. Will definitely use her again!”
“We are new toRover and have never let anyone but family watch our fur baby. So we relied heavily on Rover reviews. It’s clear now we will cherish Rover and it’s sitters, as we travel about the world. Cindy was fabulous. At our initial meet and greet we chatted and filled her in on Frey's medical needs. Cindy has a wealth of experience with animals and special needs. Freya joined the conversation and immediately gave Cindy “a Cavi hug”. After watching the interaction we knew we found Frey’s sitter. Our first trip away, 13 days was the best experience we could have asked for. Cindy and Freya had great fun; lots of play time in and outside as well as a play date with another client of Cindy’s. Many thanks to Cindy, and Rover for creating a platform of safe, secure, professional, sitters that brings us together! ?”
“Amanda was amazing! She did a drop in for us and then also stayed over to watch our large anxious dog. She was super attentive, communicative and patient with Timber. The house was perfect and I love my daily updates, pictures and videos. Will definitely be using her again!”

“As always, Kylie is the cat whisperer and the absolute best ever!! She is so communicative, kind and thoughtful. When we thought we’d possibly have to change our flights to a day later on the return, Kylie was so flexible and offered to keep checking in on our car. Thank you again, Kylie!”
“Isabel did a great job taking care of Skippy, Stella, and Ceasar while I was away in a trip. She updated me several times a day along with pictures and always inquired if she had any questions. She is very reliable and I trust her 100% with my fur 👶”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since the beginning of high school. I have dogsat for family and friends and friends of them as well. They have relied on me to feed, walk, and stay with their pets when they are away. I’m currently a full time teacher, but have most of my time after school and weekends open! School ends mid-June so I am completely open for the summer. I make sure to leave the place the way I entered it. I always clean up after myself and make sure to clean from the pet as well. I follow the rules and expectations of the house owner.
“First time using Rover, Emily was wonderful. Sent pics and a video of my girl so I could see she was happy! Kept great communication, would recommend!!”
“Justin stayed with our cat and dog in our home for 7 days, and it was a wonderful experience! He was conscientious and communicative; Our cat is challenging and our dog is a lover; Justin did super with both! Our pets were happy to see us return but calm/chill; they were happy and content, There was no transition with learned "naughty behaviors" to un-do. It was super smooth. Justin is amiable and pleasant. He pays attention to the details of your pet's personality, care and routine. He pays attention to all that he does; our home was just as we had left it. I will definitely book him again; he is a gem. I highly recommend him!!”

“Aemelia house-sat for us when we went out of town. We found her both friendly and professional, her communication was excellent, and most importantly, she certainly knew how to work with our dog. Would ABSOLUTELY rebook with Aemelia!”
About: Animal lover since I was young, from dogs and cats to small animals like birds and hamsters. Looking to make part time work caring for pets. I've worked for nearly 2 years at a kennel/daycare service in my home town on top of personal experience with my family's beloved dogs. At the kennel I cared for many dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and needs. When your pet is with me they'll have all their needs met to your standards. Alas my apartment cannot house pets other than my own, but I will happily come to you whether for a walk around your fur baby's favorite park or a weekend with them while their humans take a little TLC vacation. Whether small, large, old, young, shy or energetic I will ensure your pet is happy and content with their experience.
About: I’m a life long dog owner of pups both large and small. I have experience caring for animals unfamiliar with me from my time spent volunteering at the Kitsap Humane Society in Washington state. As a child, my dream was to buy a giant piece of land and provide a home to all of the strays and animals overflowing the shelters. I have always had a special touch with animals and I’m the go-to sitter for family, friends, and neighbors. I will love and care for your pets just as I love and care for mine. I am a college student and I run a small business from my home. This leave me with a very flexible schedule. I am happy to work around my client’s individual needs and provide care when they need it most. In my home, I walk my dog around every two hours or when she is showing signs of wanting to go outside. She has free rein of the home and enjoys frequent spoiling throughout the day with lots of pets, praise, and treats.
