Erika was wonderful with our dogs! She was great at sharing updates each day and very respectful of our home and space. She even left a sweet Easter treat for the dogs and my son when we came home! We will absolutely use her again for vacations!

Ann was wonderful! After trying a few other sitters and a highly rated kennel, I found a perfect fit! Ann sent pictures, played ball with Bailey endlessly, and let Rascal sleep in bed with her. Just perfect!

Nick did a fantastic job with our old girl Tia! He watched her in our home. He came several times a day and sent a report and pictures everyday. Nick let us know when he 1st arrived and when he finished his visit. Thanks for taking care of our girl and home!

My friend’s birthday was downtown Saturday night and despite knowing about it ahead of time, I waited until the last minute to find someone to hang with Caesar. Megan helped me out with no hesitation. The thing I appreciated was the most was she didn’t bombard me with questions or updates during the stay. I feel like it is hard to enjoy yourself when you are second guessing if the person hanging with your pup is up to the task. Highly recommend and will book her again.

The day before leaving town, our senior dog turned up with a mystery paw injury-which meant he had trouble getting outside, eating, everything. Elena didn’t hesitate to take on the extra work and to give him (plus our other dog and cats) the TLC he needed to heal up. Everyone seemed happy and well cared for when we returned!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Scott was fantastic with our dogs during the nine days we were away. He clearly cared for them like they were his own, and the thoughtful updates he sent made us feel completely at ease while we were gone. Our pups were happy, healthy, and well-loved when we returned. Beyond being a reliable sitter, he’s just an overall great guy, and we feel very lucky to have found him. We’d book with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent care for their pets.

Katie is amazing! Our dog had an ear infection when we left and she went above and beyond in taking care of him! She bought extra supplies that he needed, gave his medication and gave him plenty of love and attention. Katie is a kind and patient person and she truly is amazing with Nova. I would trust her anytime to take care of him again! She was also very respectful of our home, went the extra mile by doing things like shoveling the driveway, gave lots of updates and left a nice note for when we returned!

Kimberley was fantastic and we highly recommend her. Our dogs clearly love her, and we had total peace of mind while we were away. Her experience caring for diabetic dogs was especially invaluable and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. We came home to happy pets and a well-kept house — we will continue booking with her!

About: I grew up around a variety of animals my whole life and I have been caring for others pets since I was 13 years old. I have always loved animals and treat everyone's pets as if they were my own. My senior year of high school I created my senior project around therapy dogs and helping special needs children. I trained my own dog to be a certified therapy dog through the organization known as Pet Partners. The remainder of the project was visiting with special needs children and doing educational activities. We also visited libraries and young children with developing their reading skills. I recently graduated from Purdue University with an Animal Science degree which has allowed me to gain even more knowledge on how to care for people's pets. I also have knowledge of animal CPR and first aid for cats and dogs. I'm looking forward to being apart of this pet care community and providing excellent care to all the pets I encounter.

We were a little nervous, having never used Rover before, about letting a stranger into our home to watch our pups. After meeting Caroline prior to our trip, we knew our dogs and home were in good hands. Caroline was quick to respond to all of our messages prior to and while on our trip. She was amazing and we will definitely use her again.

Melanie is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met, I could tell my dog was in good hands. She took such loving care of him, sent me daily photos and updates, and made sure he stuck to his routine. It’s so hard to find someone you can truly trust, but Melanie went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be booking again — highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog treated like family! 💕🐶

Maddie was great! She stayed at our house with our 14 year old, blind fur baby, Liz. She kept us well informed throughout the weekend. It was so nice to have a trustworthy sitter and return to a happy, relaxed dog. Liz was in excellent hands, and we could tell she felt completely comfortable and safe with Maddie. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable sitter!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with pets in the home—usually a dog, a cat, or both—and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. My last dog passed away about four years ago, and while I would love to adopt again, I can’t right now because my son has significant allergies to cats and dogs. I truly miss the companionship and joy that pets bring, which is one of the reasons I’m so grateful to care for other families’ animals. When your dog is with me, they’ll get more than just the basics. Of course I’ll make sure their physical needs are met—walks, feeding, fresh water, and safety—but I’ll also give them plenty of affection, attention, and calm companionship. I’m comfortable with larger dogs, and I’m also happy to give basic medications (such as pills with food or treats) as needed. I’ll treat your pup like a beloved member of the family, and I’ll follow your routines and instructions closely so they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home and am available for mid day walks, as well as evening visits and walks. I also am available for pet sitting on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I would only be able to care for pets in clients homes. I will meet your pet and you prior to our first visit to ensure I understand your pet's routine and can keep them safe during their time with me.

Goka was great. She is trustworthy and obviously loves animals. She took our dog on walks (more than he's used to with just us, which I'm sure he loved), visited frequently and sent us photos of how he was doing. It was really great for him to be able to stay at home.

About: With over 12 years of experience, I've cared for multiple dogs, trained two, and consistently follow routines. I enjoy walking dogs and ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and well-fed. I’ve also cared for my uncle’s dogs and picked up many effective training techniques along the way. I'm reliable, patient, and passionate about giving every dog the attention and structure they need. I currently don’t have another job, so my schedule is completely open and flexible. I’m available any day, any time, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s a last-minute request or a regular routine, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your dog’s needs. My open availability means you can always count on me. I always follow the feeding and walking schedules provided by clients to ensure each dog’s routine stays consistent and comfortable. Most clients leave a list or specific details, and I make sure to stick to them closely. In between scheduled tasks, I spend quality time playing with the dogs, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you're away.

About: I’m a dedicated dog mom to my senior Pomeranian, Tito, so I understand how important patience, gentle care, and attention to detail are—especially with small and older dogs. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, medication awareness, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I treat every dog like my own and prioritize their happiness and safety at all times. I have a flexible schedule and prioritize pet care as part of my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding throughout the week, including weekends. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and consistency, and I’m great at accommodating last-minute bookings when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets feel at home. I follow all care instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and give lots of attention and affection. I’m attentive to behavior, ensure secure surroundings during walks or visits, and always keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

Jessica was an absolute fantastic sitter for our five-day trip! She took wonderful care of our animals - and our home. The house was actually cleaner when we returned than when we left it, and our fur babies were happy, healthy, and in great shape. She kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and messages about how the pets were doing and how comfortable she was, which completely removed all the stress of being away from home. We felt totally at ease knowing our babies were in such good hands.Jessica is a top-tier Rover and we would book her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter for their pets!

I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for my puppy Queenie! From the start it was clear her knowledge of dogs and puppies was far beyond the basics, and the little details made a big difference. She was reliable and trustworthy from the beginning. I never had to worry while being away— she communicated regularly, gave updates, and followed through on every commitment. Highly recommend without reservation! A+++
