“Brian took care our cat for about nine days while we were out of town. He was responsible, kept us updated with cute photos, left our home clean, and overall did a great job looking after her.”

“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't be happier with the service! Audrey was fantastic during the stop-in visits for our dogs. She was prompt, professional, and made sure to give us updates after each visit, which was so reassuring.”

“Jennifer took great care with my dog while I was away. She not only provided me with a report but with cute photos of my pet. The reports were thorough and concise.”


“Aichon is amazing at her job. My puppies love her. It gives me piece of mind to know that she is there to help me take care of them during the day. Aichon is knowledgeable about dogs and it show in her approach to each one and her updates to me.”

“Sarah was so sweet! She took great care of Woody! She provided pictures and gave us an update of what happened during their visit. This was our first experience using this service and Sarah did a fantastic job!! Thank you so much!!”

“Jackson was great! He showed up on time each day for a week, which was truly appreciated as I booked last minute. He updated me with a few pics and additional detail beyond the basic report card. For example, he checked in via message on day 1 to confirm my dog's mood and poop quality were as expected. My little buddy has some separation anxiety that sometimes causes runny stools and submissive posture. By day 2 my dog was already adjusted and he looked comfortable in the rest of the photos that Jackson sent throughout the week. Recommend 💯!”

“Abigail was wonderful with my boys, and very communicative each time she dropped in to care for them. It was a holiday week so I was very happy to have gotten her booked.”

“Jessica did a great job with our new puppy, Frankie! She sent lots of photos and updates during her visits. Frankie was a happy pup when we returned!”

“Rob was amazing, very punctual and very good with my cats. He did great with administering a pill to my kitty, twice a day. Highly recommend, and would want him to take care of my fur babies if I had to be out of town again.”

“Clara took excellent care of my kitties while I was away! Great communication and response time. I would recommend Clara for any of your pet sitting needs!”


“Alisha was a great cat-sitter and sent lovely updates while I was away. She was kind and it was convenient to schedule with her. Would absolutely recommend her to others!”

About: I am always happy to help out with my friends or neighborhood animals. I love all the cuddles and licks when I visit. I even help the lost ones that find their way to our door. I am self-employed and throughout the week go to meetings that can last 90 minutes. I am usually not gone any longer than a total of 6 hours. I am able to set my own schedule, so I can be flexible when housesitting. If I am boarding there is always an adult home to care for a pet. I like to walk, exercise, and play with pets. I go to local dog parks at least 2x/week with my own dogs. I also enjoy the snuggles pets are willing to give. I base my care off of what an owner likes and does, as well as what the pet is open to.
About: I had a beagle, Milo, for 12 years. Although I was not around too much at the end for college, I helped out a lot with taking care of him throughout high school. I taught him tricks, took him on walks everyday, learned how to give him a bath, as well as keep him entertained. Lately, I’ve been focusing on interactive simulation puzzles for pets which is something that is shown to be a positive experience for them! I can attend to small and medium dogs, I have the patience and readiness to provide the best care for all dogs alike! Currently a full time student at the University of Pittsburgh, and I am back home for internship. I have some downtime and would love to give back to the animals that give us so much! I’d be able to have a flexible schedule throughout the week and sometimes the weekends. I live in a safe neighborhood near Minnehaha Pkwy and Chicago Ave. Safety is number one priority, weather I’m at home, on the streets, or at a park, I always ensure that the environment is fit for each dog I take care of.
Ericsson pet parents share their Rover experiences
Annika took such great care of our three cats and was an excellent communicator! Two kitties are medicated and all went well. Annika has such a calm energy which is so essential for us. Our super anxious boy, who normally hides when strangers are around, was the most comfortable we’ve ever seen him around someone new which makes me so happy! You can absolutely feel confident your fur babies will be in good hands with Annika.

Abbey was a great sitter for our very social cat during our time away. Great care was given; we never had to worry about our pet as we knew that Abbey would be tending to her. Great communication and lovely daily comments regarding her visits. Highly recommend Abbey!!
Tanya is a great pet sitter! I was foolish and put the key under the mat and it snowed and froze to the ground! She spent like 20 minutes getting it out to feed my kitties. She leaves the house cleaner than when she arrived and my cats opened up to her right away. Tanya is the best!

Emilie was wonderful during our extended time away (about 2 weeks), caring for our rambunctious cattle dog mix and senior tortoise shell cat. She maintained clear communication throughout, provided updates and photos, and really seemed to help our pets cope with our time away. Notably, this was all during a deep freeze in Minnesota with several days of double digits below zero in a row, which meant our dog wasn't about to go for walks or play in the yard for extended periods. On this front, Emilie did training sessions with our dog to help with some enrichment/indoor activity, which we really appreciate. And amidst this deep freeze there was some shoveling, trickling of water to make sure our pipes didn't freeze or burst etc. All in all a really wonderful and dependable person to turn to if you need someone to watch your pets (and home).
