“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”

“Morgan is friendly and sweet. I needed someone in a pinch and she jumped right in and took care of my two dogs. She was timely and attentive. I highly recommend using Morgan for your pet sitting needs!”

“Maria took care of our babies while we were abroad for about three weeks. She did a fantastic job and went above and beyond. Most importantly she loved our pets just as her own. Would absolutely recommend!”

“Ocie was AWESOME! She took the time to send me pictures and videos of my dogs. Nothing makes a trip better than to know my dogs were in excellent care. My dogs absolutely loved her as well. Will use her in the future.”
“Jahcarre and Morgan took great care of our two dogs, Winston and Reno, as well as our home! Our dog Reno has issues with getting along with unfamiliar dogs, and due to being blind he doesn't always do well in new environments, so having a sitter come watch our dogs in our home is essential, but isn't always easy to find, especially over a holiday. I was so happy to find Jahcarre and Morgan through Rover! They put me at ease by talking with me and meeting the dogs beforehand, and I felt confident leaving my dogs and our home in their hands while my husband and I were able to travel without being concerned. They communicated well when needed and sent pictures when I requested. They even got our doggies a little Christmas gift which was so sweet! Thank you for spending your Christmas with our pups, we would definitely have you watch them again!”

“We had a wonderful, stress-free experience with Samantha during her week-long stay in our home. She took great care of our dog and he was completely himself when we returned. Our home was also well cared for and very clean when we returned. She kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, and we had peace of mind while traveling. Samantha is reliable, trustworthy, friendly, and professional. We would absolutely book her again!”

“Briana was great with our dogs! She was very responsive and reliable. She followed through on all our communications. She couldn’t have been easier to work with! Will definitely use again!”

“Angela was very prompt, responsible, and communicative. I booked her a few weeks in advance, she came over once to meet my dog and get an idea of her routine. She then came back the day before my trip for a refresher. She took care of my dog exactly as we had discussed and sent regular pictures and updates while I was gone. My home was exactly as I left it when I got back. Would definitely use Angela again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra playtime, or a little patience and encouragement, I’m happy to provide attentive care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while making sure each pet receives the attention and care they need. I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative so pet parents always know their furry family member is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and walking preferences. During walks, I remain attentive to my surroundings and keep pets securely leashed unless otherwise instructed in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I will respect your space, maintain your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away.
About: Hi there! I’ve spent over 9 years working as a veterinary technician at multiple animal hospitals, which gave me hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and needs — from playful puppies to gentle senior pets. I’m confident with everything from giving medications and handling special diets to providing extra snuggles and playtime. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family. I pay attention to the little details that make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, fun games for mental stimulation, or simply making sure your fur baby gets plenty of cuddles, I’ll make their comfort my top priority. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits during my midday break (9:30AM–2 PM) and evenings after 6:00PM. I’m also available on weekends for walks, playtime, or extended visits. My schedule is consistent, so you can count on me to provide reliable care around the same times each week. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority. With my 9+ years as a vet tech, I’m confident in handling pets of all ages, personalities, and needs — including administering medications, monitoring special diets, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I create a calm, loving environment where they’ll feel secure and cared for. I follow your pet’s normal routines closely, so they feel at ease and comfortable. You can also count on me for regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away.
“Justine did a great job with my crazy crew and provided timely updates with super fast communication. I also appreciated her being available on relatively short notice. Would definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”

“Alina is amazing! She is attentive and provides frequent updates that are detailed. I highly recommend using her. One of my dogs had a vomit issue and she handled it so well! Alina is also very sweet. I will definitely be contacting her again for when I’m traveling.”

“Katie was great, so many photo updates of our dog and cat while we were gone. Everything went super smoothly, she even wanted to make sure our dog had a clean face from eating her wet food. Would absolutely book again.”

Ferndale pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our second time asking Mel to watch our two boys, and once again she was fantastic. She is wonderful with them, especially since one of our pups is usually shy and takes some time to warm up to new people or even people they’ve met before. Both of them absolutely love her and connected with her right away. Mel kept us updated daily with photos and videos, and she always shared how they were doing, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and will definitely be reaching out to her again for future trips. Highly recommend!

Erica is fantastic! She is very professional. Showed up at the time we needed her, was kind to our dogs, was very communicative with us throughout the time she was dog sitting/house sitting for us. We really appreciated getting pictures and updates, as we don't leave our dogs often and miss them when we are away! She left the house in perfect condition and the dogs were clearly well cared for. Happy to have found Erica and would definitely book her again!

Liz was a fantastic sitter for our Lily. She committed to periodic visits prior to our booking to allow Lily to get used to her. While away, Liz sent us regular updates and photos. We will definitely engage Liz for future services and absolutely recommend her to others.

Jayla took great care of our dog and cat, and our house, when she stayed with them while we were out of town. She reached out with updates and questions, sent photos, and left our house cleaner than we left it. We'll absolutely be using Jayla again when we travel!

Gabrielle housesat for me and my golden retriever Dora for a week. She was wonderful with Dora. She handled Dora's medication and dietary restrictions with no problem. Every picture Gabrielle sent throughout the week showed Dora happy and healthy on her walks and getting her snuggles. Gabrielle was also an excellent house guest, leaving the house clean and tidy. She even watered my plants and vacuumed up copious amounts of dog hair so I didn't have to come home to that! She was very communicative and checked in with me in regularly or if anything was out of the ordinary. I would definitely use Gabrielle again and highly recommend her!

Becca housesat for us & looked after our 2 pups. She kept us updated regularly and was quick to respond to any of our questions. This was our first time having the dogs housesat (vs dropping them off with a dog-sitter), and everything went well. She followed through with our instructions and took good care & was very respectful of our home too.
