“Marna was absolutely wonderful with our cat! She was very reliable and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a relaxing vacation and our pet was well cared for! I would highly recommend her! :)”
“Kayleigh is so easy to work with, allowed us to meet her before our scheduled appointment and was on-time. Our animals were well taken care of and we hope to call on her again sometime. Thanks so much!”
“Scout loved his walks with Kara! She was very respectful, communicative, and took great pictures of our guy. It looked like he was having the best time. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Melissa was a godsend! Friends and neighbors were unavailable and Melissa was able to meet with us and take the job with only a week to spare. Our cat can be timid around strangers, but she warmed to Melissa on the second visit. We really enjoyed the daily photos and report card. Great communication, excellent care. Thanks so much!”
About: As an animal lover looking for a little extra work, this seems like the perfect fit! I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner for 15 years. Including small pets, cats and dogs. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes and am available most evenings as well as all day Sunday and most Mondays. Ideally I would love to find some folks who I can set up weekly walk times with, or ongoing animal care but am available to anyone who needs an extra hand to get their fur baby taken care of! Availability: Sunday: 6am-8pm Monday: 6am-8pm Tues-Fri: 5pm-8pm I am available in the hours that I do not work my full time job. Available by request prior to 6am. I do not bring pets to my home at any time and ideally will have full conversation with the pet owner to learn about their pets individual personality, needs, and what makes their pet feel safe. I understand that everyone has different living experiences and all pets have different needs. I also understand that owners have their own preferences for their pets which I shall follow.
“We are so thankful we found Melissa on Rover! She was undeterred by our dog’s initial excessive barking and excitability. She was very responsive to messages and when our schedule wasn’t predictable she was understanding and flexible. She was extremely generous with her time and attention to our pup and truly treated him like he was her own. She left a light on for us when we were expecting to be home after dark. It’s clear she loves caring for dogs and helping their owners!”
“Elizabeth was literally the best sitter we have ever had. She was not only so kind to me after telling her about an awful experience with a previous sitter—but she made me feel at ease! My babies loved her, and I love that she loved my babies. I wish that she wasn’t leaving my area! I’d keep her forever!! Thank you again, Elizabeth. We were both able to fully relax knowing our kitties were in safe and reliable hands 🖤 let me know when you’re back in the area!!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, starting with family pets and then helping out coworkers, roommates, and friends. Now, thanks to Rover, I’ve expanded that experience by sitting for dogs, cats, and even chickens and ducks through multiple bookings. I’ve stayed overnight, done daily drop-ins, and cared for everything from laid-back seniors to energetic young dogs. No matter the setting, I take pet care seriously. I follow routines closely, respect the home I’m in, and always aim to make pets feel calm, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s their first time away from their owner or they’ve done this before, I treat every animal with the same attentiveness and warmth I’d hope someone would show mine. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I’ve built my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention and care. I’m currently studying for the bar exam, which takes place at the end of July, so my days are structured and home-based—perfect for maintaining a steady rhythm for feeding, walks, and playtime. After the exam, my schedule opens up significantly, and I’ll have full availability for longer or more frequent bookings starting in August. I don’t host pets in my home, but I take pride in following your routines closely and keeping pets content in their own space. I’m neat, respectful of your home, and mindful of both your pet’s needs and your home’s security.
About: I've had animals my whole life. I have house sat my friends and family's pets for years while they go on vacation. In my spare time I work with the animals at the Animal Refuge League both dogs and cats. They have provided different types of training for both cat and canine care. I work from home so I am able to house sit and still continue working. This allows me to be with youe pets as often as possible during your time away. I do not care for pets in my home since I have a cat and a dog myself. (They get watched by my roommate while I'm away)
About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I have had the pleasure of caring for them from childhood through adulthood. I love showering pups with lots of love, snuggles, treats and walks! I currently work full time, but my schedule allows for drop ins after 330pm on the weekdays, and all day on most Saturdays and Sundays I'm more than willing to keep to your pups routine and ways. I can and will send cute pictures of your happy fur baby if wanted.
“Hannah is the BEST!!! I had to be in and out of town for work for two weeks, although my schedule was not consistent at all Hannah was up for the last-minute challenge of watching over Maisey and adhering to my crazy schedule. Hannah showed up on time and spent her time with Maisey (a true senior citizen) giving her the love and attention I hoped for. Turns out I have another crazy week coming up and Hannah was quick to sign up for more visits. Hannah is a true 5 star!!!”
“Kristal was our very first hire from Rover! I am a nervous wreck over the care of our pets (one blind dog, one dog with epilepsy, one with behavioral issues), and she put my mind at ease instantly. She was responsive, friendly, and great with our (four!) animals. We would invite Kristal back to take care of our pets any time.”
“Kristen was a real pleasure to work with.. My two Goldens were so well taken care for while I was away; it was great peace of mind having someone who clearly enjoyed the work spending time with them. I'm especially appreciative of the fantastic communication and the on-point timeliness of the visits! A++”
About: Both of my parents were dog breeders while I was growing up, so I have life-long experience with puppies and adult dogs. I train Tamaskan puppies on my mom’s farm. I work well with cockapoos, corgis, plott hounds, Dutch shepherds and retrievers, since they're breeds I'm used to. I'm positive, however, that any dog can be charmed, and have never run into one that I couldn't. I volunteered at shelters and groomers growing up. I did an animal behavior project in Highschool for an extensive period of time. I worked with a 2yr dog with mange and seperation anxiety for 8 months. In 2 months she was house trained, crate trained, whistle trained (for speed while walking:slow or speed up, heel) and knew basic commands. Uses safe vegetable and fruits for dogs as treats. I also have experience with cats, rats, birds, turtles and snakes. Any extra pets will be charged more for care if required of me. On vacation, so I have spare time to spend with some cute animals! I have a cat, but I take care of Tamaskans a few days a week. I love going out for walks with a dog. My first week staying with my sister was amazing because she has 3 dogs (1 foster) that are all super high energy.

“Meghan has an incredible way with animals and it’s something I’ve seen consistently over the years. Whether it’s been our family pets or animals she’s cared for through friends and coworkers, she has a calm, caring presence that pets naturally respond to. She’s patient, attentive, and truly goes the extra mile to make sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I would trust her with my pets any day, without hesitation. Anyone who hires her as a pet sitter is lucky to have her!”
Amanda C.
“When it comes to pet care, Amanda gives the highest quality care a loving pet owner can find. She really got to know my animals: the kind of treats they preferred, the toys they enjoyed the most, down to the types of materials my cats liked to lay on! The type of pet sitter who teaches a person new things about their animals because she is deeply attuned to their needs. Amanda goes above and beyond when it comes to animal care and her acceptance of instruction has always been appreciated by me. I guarantee your experience with Amanda to be one of a kind.”

Kara is amazing!! She has cared for Izzy in the past. It's been several months since we needed a sitter, but since we found ourselves needing someone recently, she was immediately our choice to go to! Kara very happily responded right away that she would love to take care of our girl again! Super smooth visit, Izzy remembered her right away! Kara was even completely confident with giving Izzy important medications during their visit. Fantastic communication, lots of pictures. We were totally at ease knowing Izzy was well cared for ❤️ 12/10 Kara is amazing. We will always look to her for all our dog-sitting needs!
