“Haley was amazing and able to help out my family at super short notice when we had an emergency. She was great with all the critters and it seemed like they really liked her too. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Stephanie did an awesome job taking care of Chacho. She communicated really well the whole time and always kept me in the loop. I felt 100% confident that he was being taken care of and getting the attention he needed. Chacho was definitely in great hands. I would absolutely recommend her.”
About: I dog sit for every dog shape or size has never been an issue here in our household. I love what I do, and I send photos as well to give clients more reassurance that their animals are being well treated and not abused. I love to foster dogs from Paws Humane Society as well to give them a home until they find their forever home. Every Pet gets one on one interaction, lots of snuggles, and lots of attention. I know how important it is to feel like at ease knowing your pet is in great hands. I currently have 3 fur babies myself. I am also a stay-at-home mom myself. my babies are everything they get treated like my own kids, they get lots of attention and some would even say I have them spoiled. I have a fenced in yard. I also have extra doggy crates; I do drop ins for vacations, or even if you just need help. I feed the pets and take them outside for potty breaks as well as play time. each pet is different some have set schedules that I follow as well. I love gaining the trust in clients to where they always come back.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with over 10 animals in my house, so chaos, fur, and unconditional love have always just felt like home to me. From there, I went on to work on farms and ranches, caring for a huge variety of animals — which taught me how to read different temperaments, personalities, and needs, and how to adapt my care to whatever each one required. These days, I’m a full-time dog mom, and that role has only deepened my love for animals and my commitment to their wellbeing. My goal with every pet I care for is simple: I want them to feel happy, safe, and stress-free — like they’re getting their own little vacation while their owner is away. Whether it’s extra cuddle time, a longer walk, or just sitting with them so they don’t feel alone, I treat every animal like my own. As a medically retired Marine veteran, I run my own remote personal training business — which means I’m home almost all day, every day. The only time I’m out is for a short window of 1-2 hours when I head to the gym, so I have full availability outside of that. Whether it’s a quick check-in, an overnight stay, or a full day of care, I’m able to give your pet consistent attention and companionship without rushing in and out the door. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. If it’s my home, or your own; I ensure the set up to be a calm, comfortable environment for animals to relax in. I keep a close eye on every pet in my care, follow any feeding, medication, or routine instructions closely, and update owners regularly with check-ins and photos so you always know your pet is safe and happy. I treat every animal like family — which means trust, patience, and attentiveness are always part of the deal. You can leave your pet with me knowing they’re getting genuine care, not just a place to stay.
“Lindsey did a great job with my shy girl. She has earned her trust..she did a great job with Twinkle! I was worried because Twinkle is new to me and it went great! Definitely using her again this week:)”
“Keshya did a great job taking care of our 2 cats while we were gone for 2 weeks. She was always on time and stayed the whole 30 minutes. We got photos for every visit which gave me peace of mind that our babies were okay so I didn’t worry about them while on vacation. I would use her again!”
About: I love pets with all my heart. I have two mini golden doodles right now but I want to grow my pet family later. I enjoy spending quality time with my pets, playing with them, watching movies with them, they are basically by my side all the time and your pets will never be out of my sight and will for sure have an amazing time and be safe with me! I am pretty open with my schedule at the moment and I am free whenever you may need me to watch your dog. I’m currently in online school to become a CMA so it works well with me dog sitting. It all depends on what my client would want for the pet. In my opinion every pet needs a different type of care of other pets. My doodles are very outgoing they love to play until they get tired but they always need to be by someone because they have desperation anxiety. So it’s a matter of listening to the owner and getting a understanding of what there pet is like and needs
About: I have had cats and dogs all my life that have and are living great long and fulfilling lives. I treat animals well with great care and respect and even had the opportunity to nurse a baby squirrel back to health I’m working part-time and will be visiting your little family member and be able to give them one on one attention give them walks feed them and an occasional treat and play. I understand what it’s like to have a hyper lazy or in between dog so I can handle any situation and treat them as I would my own with love care and respect. I like to set a very comfortable environment for an animal I’m working with to get them to understand that I’m a friend and someone who is here to care so I like to set those boundaries and understanding of what makes them comfortable and listen to their body language. I like to build trust in my relationships with positive enforcement and trust.
“Nicholas did a great job caring for my cat while I was out of town for the holidays. This was my first time using Rover, and I had no worries with my first experience thanks to him. He dropped by for a meet and greet, and got along with my cat well. He also easily followed my unique care instructions for my cat and living situation. Very good communication, and an overall pain free expeeience!”
About: I’ve also grown up with animals since I was a baby! I’ve have horses, dogs, cats, turtles… YOU NAME IT, I’VE HAD IT😆 Neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to feed, play, walk, and love on their furry friends! I am currently working part time/stay at home wife. So I have plenty of time to to love on and be with your fur babies😊 Unfortunately, I am not set up in the right environment to be able to watch your pet in my own home. Maybe in the future! :)
About: we have taken care of pets since childhood :) we have lots of experience with pets from A-to-Z and we provide photo and videos, along with additional detailed text updates. We treat others as family, we love to spoil others, and we also provide training if needed with positive reinforcement. We also not only provide pet sitting but plant sitting as well, we are huge into gardening and we can give lots of care information and advice on any plant that you have/want.

“Bernajah it's great! She provided a lot of updates and photos while taking care of my puppy. She is really sweet and very thoughtful! We will continue to work with her and we highly recommend her.”
“Megan helped us out with our Golden Retriever puppy when we were in a jam on short notice. Her gentle personality was an immediate comfort to me. We got great updates each day of her drop in from the Rover app. Megan was very prompt with responding to any question or news we had. We appreciate her professionalism and kindness. Will definitely ask for her again!”
“My husband and I had a great experience with Clara! She kindly agreed to an introductory visit with our dog, Rikke, which we really appreciated as it was our first time using Rover and we weren’t sure how Rikke would respond.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
