“Ruth was awesome!!! My kitties didnt sem stressed or neglected when i got back and their area was clean. I also love that she sent photos each day. I plan on using Ruth again. Thanks so much!!!!”
“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”
“April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.”
“Thank you so much!! Bella hates the rain so I’m not surprised she wasn’t too interested. I forgot to leave her raincoat out, she’s a little more agreeable with that on but I really appreciate everything yall did”
“Kylee was extremely responsive, warm, and kind both through the app and in person. I could tell from just a few minutes of conversation that she is a cat lover. I tend to be an anxious/neurotic pet owner, which makes it hard for me to trust sitters, but Kylee was great! After almost a full week of drop-ins with her, I came home to my cat who was just as happy and healthy as ever.”
“Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)”
“Yan is an amazing cat sitter! I was really worried my about leaving my cat for two weeks but Yan kept me updated and made sure my baby was well cared for and had enough playtime! It was great to see the photos and read the personal updates for each visit. 10/10 Recommend booking with Yan!!!”
“Franci was wonderful!! I lost one of my cats right before my trip and she was so kind and caring to my other cat. She put me at ease while I was gone and was a great communicator!! I would definitely ask her to care for my babies again!!”
About: Hi my name is Rachelle! I’ve walked and watched most dogs since I was seventeen my love for dogs and animals are my passion. I’ve had animals such as goats, dogs, ducks you name it since I was little! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I have a year and a half German shepherd who has very high energy so we spend most of our time in the yard playing fetch and going on walks My German shepherd requires a lot of walks and running through out the day it makes for a very fun day especially to see her so happy! I make sure everything is ok while I am walking them, make sure I have plenty of water with me and it’s not too hot for them
“Alison took great care of my two cats over July 4th weekend. This was our first time booking with her, and everything went smoothly. Will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of all dogs from breeding to just having pets. I have lots of knowledge when it comes to medical issues with dogs due to my experience with breeding and owning older animals. I work remotely so your animal will have someone home with them all hours of the day! I can take dogs for walks and to the dog park. They will also be able to play with my animals. I will take care of your animals as if they are my own. I love taking care of them and going for walks. They will have plenty of play time and walks.
About: We're a couple who love animals of all shapes and sizes, especially cats and dogs! We have experience traveling around the U.S. as pet sitters, Megs currently works at SPCA Florida (an animal welfare nonprofit), and we have five incredible rescue cats of our own. We have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. We also are comfortable caring for cats with a variety of needs and set-ups. We truly just love animals and want the best for each and every one! Megs currently works part-time and LJ has a flexible work-from-home job, which leaves us plenty of room for snuggles and walks and any other kind of pet care! We prioritize the health and well-being of our own cats at home, ensuring they have an enriching environment, high-quality food, a consistent schedule, plenty of attention, and as much play and exercise as they could want. We would love being a part of doing the same for your pets whether that's through drop-in visits or walks!
About: Ive always gotten along well with cats & dogs. I always try to cater to the need of the owners as long as their reasonable 😂. Honestly animals in general bring so much joy to everyone and deserve the cuddles and care the need. 😁 I’m usually available on Mondays & Fridays after 5pm and am free throughout Saturday, as for Sundays I’m free either in the early mornings like 8:30am - 11am or after 4pm-9. I try my best to be flexible with the hours before and/or after 12pm to 5pm. If you have any rules in place don’t hesitate to let me know. I’ll always strive to make sure to stick to them. And make sure that your pets are relax and have the necessary attention they need. 🙂
About: I have had at least one dog my entire life, so over 20 years. I have experience with puppies who were just born, all the way to a pup who is 17 years old - almost as old as me! I have owned multiple dogs at a time, trained my own puppies, and have even had farm animals (cows, pigs, goats, chickens, you name it!) My family and friends have relied on me to care for their pups for years, and I have experience with over 20 breeds including (Shih Tzus, Yorkshire Terriers, Chihuahuas, English Bulldogs, Great Pyrenees, German Shepherds, Mountain Curs, Golden Doodles, Golden Retrievers, Doberman Pinchers, and many more!) I am a 23 year old newly married, dog loving girl! I have a 5 year old English bulldog of my own and her and I are the best buddies! I can assure you, your pup will be just as loved as if it was my own. I absolutely love walking dogs and taking them to the dog park (two of my faves) or simply just playing in the yard. Prior to taking care of your pup, I love for them to get familiar with me, so I will take the on a walk or play with them first. I do not offer overnight services in my personal home, but will visit your home so that your sweet pup (or cat!) feels safe and very familiar with its surroundings. I have found that relocating your pup to a place they have never been can make them very nervous, therefore I simply visit your home where your pup is at the times that you typically feed/water, and take out your pup on a normal basis!
“Bridget took such great care of our 15 year old cat while we were out of town. We highly recommend her for anyone in need of a sitter - we’ll definitely be reaching out to her every time we do!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was young, as well as growing up with my own bunch. I frequently take care of dogs when needed! I am able to stay overnight and take care of pets as well as frequently stopping in throughout my day to day and checking in on them! I make sure to keep track of the pets and make them feel as comfortable as possible while missing their owners! I make sure to play and cuddle as much as I can.

Florida Southern College pet parents share their Rover experiences
Katherine is our favorite pet sitter we’ve ever had! As someone who feels anxiety leaving their pets in someone’s care, I can finally enjoy my time away from home because she takes such great care of them. She takes lots of fun pictures of their time together and my dogs love when she comes to play. I cannot recommend her enough!
Sunni is an angel and I am extremely grateful for all her help! The fact that my shy cat came out during her visits tells me a lot about how kind of a person she is! I would not hesitate to request her again and I absolutely recommend her for anyone wanting first-class care for their fur babies! Thank you Sunni!
