âI was so thrilled that Victoria was able to check in on Sapphire while we went out of town. She sent us great pictures and even brought in a large package that had been delivered while we were gone. I highly recommend her to anyone with dog sitting needs.â

âHeather is wonderful! She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on how our kitty was doing while we were away. Her response time is quick and professional. Severus canât wait to see her again next weekend. Thank you Heather!â

âRequested Debra again due to how well she loves our little ones, and how much they love her back. We trust her & so do they. That means everything to us. Will use her again!â

About: I grew up on a farm where I took care of animals of all different kinds, including the common cat and dog. I am an energetic pet lover, I know that you and your pet deserve the best care available from feeding, to walking, to bathing, and everything in between. I strive to make each interaction with your pet comfortable for them and trustworthy for you. I am currently a part time student, so I have loads of time to fit your pets needs into my schedule. Monday Tuesday and Wendesday 12pm-2 pm I have class. I understand that inviting someone to care for your pet can be very stressful, that is why I adhere to your schedule and needs. I regularly pet sit for friends and loved ones, and know how important it is to keep up a routine. This means I will do what you would do, playtime inside or outside as your home permits, long or short walks to suit your pets needs, with strict adherence to your pets diet and mealtimes.
âSydney was awesome with our pups! She was kind enough to watch our pups last minute during Christmas, and was very communicative with us while we went away. Our pups loved her, loved her snuggles, and loved when she came by! We will be using her again!â

âI can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!â

âMegan & Matthew are amazing! I absolutely loved the level of detail, the photos, and the amount of care they provided. Every visit, they sent over 15 photos along with so much thoughtful detail about how things went. As a constant Rover user, I can confidently say Iâll be using their services again. If you love your pups like theyâre your own children, you need to book with Megan & Matthew. Your pups will fall in love with them, and youâll see their happiness shine through in every picture they send. Highly recommend!â

âVanessa was fantastic at taking care of my two cats over a period of 10 days. She was very punctual, communicative and attentive, I will for sure trust her with my kitties in a future outing. Thanks Vanessa!â

About: Iâve had pets since I was a wee lad and my mom has instilled the importance of their love and care in me. Everyone from friends to strangers have relied on me to take care of their pets. I am so happy to love your pets for you while youâre away. Iâm currently in between jobs and doing some freelance editing for authors, so I will have plenty of time for walks, in-home pet sitting, etc. My schedule will work around yours. I will work with you for your petâs specific needs in your home. I am open and willing to your petâs schedules. I currently do not offer services in my own home.
âMy kitties had great visits with Merri! I contacted her with very short notice but everything worked out smoothly and wonderfully. I will definitely contact her again in the future and recommend her to anyone with four-footers - both cats (I have four) and dogs!â

âI am so grateful for the exceptional care Sherry provided during a drop-in that was requested at the last minute. Sherry was quick to respond. She made sure Kazo was spolied and and updated me with photos that showed how much attention and love he received. Sherry provided outstanding service. I highly recommend her for reliability, warmth, and professionalism!â

About: I have been watching pets for years and would love to provide great care to yours as well! I know how important your pet is to you and you can trust that I have years of experience taking care of animals. I have lived with pets my entire life, so I know how to recognize body language and anxiety. That knowledge is supplemented by my experience volunteering at animal shelters for four years. I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering at the Ohio State University. Outside of my classes, I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I currently cannot keep pets at my home. However, I am always happy to watch pets in your home! I can overnight petsit or do only day visits or dog walks. Pet parents have trusted me taking care of their pets in their home for years.
About: I come from a âdog familyâ and have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I currently have two - Rileigh, a 16 year old, and Maddie, a 4 year old. My girls get vitamins (both liquid and treat) as well as different food mix-ins daily, so I am happy to provide whatever your dog needs, no matter how unique! I live every day by âitâs their first time living tooâ and I try to make even the mundane things special for them. They deserve it! đ I am currently hybrid at my corporate job. Since I am hybrid, I am only gone three days out of the week. Very flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. Iâm happy to work around your schedule! I have a fenced in yard and two doggos that get along well with other dogs! I also have a 1200 sq foot townhome with lots of room for playing. I am more than happy to crate your dog as well if thatâs what he/she requires!
âSydney took the best care of my cat while I was away! She sent me lots of pictures of my cat and played with him plenty. He can be apprehensive to new people, but he warmed up to her right away because she was so good with him.â

âTori did such a great job watching our cat over the weekend! We loved the update pictures shevput in the report card. Her updates were very detailed. She made sure to follow all instructions we left and clarified to make sure everything would be taken care of. We would definitely recommend her and book with her again!â

We had an excellent experience with Chase! He was willing to do a meet and greet beforehand, which really helped us feel comfortable and confident. During the drop-in visit, he took excellent care of our dog and was very attentive to her special needs. Highly recommend!

Nicole is THE BEST!!! This was my first time using Rover -- and it was a very high stress situation, what with the friend supposed to watch my cat cancelling less than 24 hrs before we were set to leave on vacation. Nicole came over for a meet-n-greet barely an hour after I initially contacted her. She then took the most amazing care of my baby, truly exceeded my expectations -- sending all kinds of pics and videos which not only eased my mind, but also showed all the love and attention she was providing. I was worried he would hide the entire time and the best I could hope for was that at least he would get fed -- but Nicole is truly magical. And she became his new best friend. I would, and will, use Nicole again in a heartbeat -- and if you are reading this in contemplation of hiring her, I HIGHLY encourage you to do so. I cannot say enough good things about her and this experience.

Paige dropped in on our dog twice a day for 4 days while I was away on a trip and I can't recommend her enough! She was very professional, prompt, and had great communication before and during my trip. She went above and beyond taking care of him and made sure to get all of his energy out during her drop ins. Louie made a new friend and will miss seeing Paige :)
