“Felt absolutely comfortable with Julia caring for my older cat who really warmed up to her very quickly. Julia left me great updates on her visits every day. Will definitely ask her to come back again. Highly recommend!”
“Valerie is awesome. She spent a lot of quality time with our cat (Mary Grace). She played with her, fed her, cared for her and kept us informed every step of the way with updates and lots of photos. We highly recommend Valerie!”
About: I have experience caring for large dogs and have had three rescue Labrador retrievers as an adult. I have also had experience as a dog foster working with local shelters. As a recent retiree, I am spending my time between volunteering with my daughter's school and the local humane society, leaving plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. I have a fenced yard and a friendly 7 year-old black Labrador. We have two crates if any of the pups need to be crated. If in your home, I will follow instructions provided to insure that your pup receives the proper care.
“Cheyenne was super professional caring and looking after our orange cat Cheeto! She visited him everyday we were out of town and gave us updates on what he’d been up to. She even cleaned up an unexpected mess and left our house in better condition. Cheeto seemed to enjoy her visits and I would definitely hire Cheyenne again for all my future pet-sitting needs! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Odalys was AMAZING with my pets! Our pup is older and doesn’t trust a ton of people but was immediately in love with Odalys! She went above and beyond keeping our house clean and took our cat poop trash without asking! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Normally after a long day away I'd come home to hyper dogs and at least one destroyed pillow. Well, they must have had a great time with Holli because all was calm at our house. The photos she sent of the pups were adorable and a great way to let us know she'd gotten in with no issues. Will absolutely be calling her again to play with the pups!”
“Jessica was amazing with our old man Soldier! She took every visit to its full length or beyond to make sure he was good to go! We will definitely be rebooking her again!”
“Katherine took great care of our Sally. Communication was excellent and she followed instructions well. She is reliable, we look forward to working with her again and would highly recommend.”
“We loved working with Erika! She was kind and gentle with our pets and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and well cared for. Erika came early to learn their routine, including how we prepare their food and where we walk them, and she kept us updated after each drop-in visit. She was a terrific help, and we’re so grateful for the great care she provided!”
“This was our first time hiring a sitter for our kitty and Ligia was great! She sent us multiple videos and pictures while we were gone. Merry was a much happier kitty when we got home than when we had to take him to the kennel. Definitely will go with Ligia for our next trip!”
About: I have taken care of foster dogs for a while now and wanted to offer my ability's to others. I have my owner trained service dog and can keep up training with your dog or even work on learning new skills. I may not have the most experience with pet sitting for others animals but I have been fostering shelter dogs for years My job is extremely flexible so I can work when I want for the most part. This allows me to take care of all animals. The animals will never be alone for more than 4 hours at a time. I spend most of my home time, other than sleeping, with the animals playing with them, working on training, giving proper medicine and letting them run around in my large fenced in backyard. If I am at your house for a week or taking the dogs on walks would be the only time I'll be away from my own home besides work. I can then spend the time I would be home with your animals. I have a husband to watch my own animals I have 2 cats and a resident dog. They are friendly and can keep your pup and kitty company! If your dog is a bit reactive with other animals I do have a room dedicated to the dogs I foster and care for. As of current I am taking a break from fostering to care for animals on rover so there will be no dogs with unknown temperaments. If I do have any dog reactive dogs to care for I will put resident dog up in my bedroom while I take out and play with your pup, they will never be alone long
“Erin took such great care of my dog. She is a great communicator and sent great pictures. She is awesome and I would highly recommend. Thank you again for taking great care of Taco.”
“Svetlana was amazing with our pups! She connected with them the first time they met and I knew I could trust her with their care. It is evident how much she cares about each and every animal! I would highly recommend her services 😊”
About: I'm an animal science major with experience with many different types of animals. I have two dogs and a lizard at home, but at school I also take care of cows and calves. I also have a certification in Canine Care and Training. I'm home from college and have a lot of free time, so I can work almost any time or day. I will be taking a summer class, but it is online so I can do that anywhere. I understand how nerve wracking it can be to have a stranger watch and take care of your pet. I will follow any and all instructions to the letter so that you don't have to worry about your pet or home while you are away. I will walk your pets when you say, feed them when you say, and clean up after them should they make a mess.
“Absolutely amazing! So happy to have found Mary, one week before my trip to FL. She gave our two dogs so much love and attention over four days. She will be the first person we reach out to whenever we are looking for someone to walk our dogs in the future. I’d highly recommend her!”
About: Mon. - Fri. Availability: - Drop Ins.: EVENINGS ONLY - Boarding: Pick Up/Drop Off: 5:30p-midnight Weekend Availability: - Drop Ins: Any - Boarding: Any I've dog sat for family members, puppies/dogs ranging from 4 lbs - 100 lbs. All have come in a bit skeptical and left feeling at home. I strive to provide a loving, warm environment for all pups that step paw in my door. Each dog will receive equal treatment and equal love. To be upfront, I am not trained or possess any special skills, I'm just a human who loves dogs and has the patience to work with and help dogs feel comfortable. I’m mostly free on the weekends; weekdays I’m free after 5pm! During my weekend free time, dogs will be out majority of the day aside from naptime between 12pm-2pm and bedtime 10pm - 7am. Dogs will have plenty of hours of play time and the weekends are typically days I use to walk my own dog or go to the local dog park. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly energetic dogs to keep your dog company. Crates/cages, leashs, and collars are required for boarding. You are more than welcome to provide your own bed to ensure that your dog is comfortable. You can bring your own toys as well; however, toys will be provided, along side dog treats and dental chews (with your approval).

We have been with Kathryn for almost a year! She is the absolute best sitter you could want. She communicates quickly and gives the most thorough updates on my dog. She provided enrichment and love to my dog Fern. We are so sad to be moving this month and leaving Kathryn, we can only hope to find as good of a sitter the next place we live.
Julia was super proactive, checking in a few days before the booking, always giving detailed report cards and great photos of the my kitties. Went above and beyond each visit. Would definitely recommend Julia and definitely will be requesting her next time we are out of town!
Rachel is an ideal cat sitter. I used her services for 10 days and she was committed, communicative, thorough, and great with my cats. This was my first experience with Rover, and Rachel stood out as a provider immediately because of her significant experience and her high customer approval ratings. She responded promptly to all of my messages, showing a willingness to work with my schedule. During my vacation, Rachel met every commitment. She came to my house twice each day to look after and feed my cats, and she sent me notes and photos explaining what they were up to. She helped my nervous cat acclimate and ensured enough time for her to eat, overcoming my biggest concern about this experience. Through all of her communications, Rachel was helpful and professional. She made it clear that she was interested in the welfare of my cats. Rachel is a very good cat sitter. It can be difficult to trust a new person to come into your home and care for your beloved animals, but Rachel did both and earned my trust and appreciation. I highly recommend her for catsitting services and will definitely seek her availability the next time I travel without my cats.
Extenuating circumstances left our dog with diarrhea while we were gone :( Erin not only staying in close contact with us, answering our questions about what she saw and requests for pictures to see if he had other symptoms that meant we should get him to the vet for the rest of our vacation, but she took the time to clean the accidents he did have between the 2 daily visits we booked. She went above and beyond in a really "shitty" situation, and we are SO thankful.
We had a fantastic first experience using Rover thanks to Lucy! As first-time users, we were a little nervous about having someone come into our home while we were out of town, but Lucy made the entire process feel easy and reassuring from the start. She responded to our request almost immediately and scheduled a meet & greet within just a few days, which really helped put us at ease. While we were away, Lucy came by daily to take care of our cat, and she did an excellent job. It was clear our cat was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and attention she gave. Knowing that Lucy has cats of her own and also works at an animal hospital gave us an extra level of confidence that our pet was in great hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking with Lucy again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and caring pet sitter!
Paige did a great job taking care of the cats. She surprisingly made a connection with them on their first meeting, despite their shyness. She is truly a cat whisperer! Bonus: she got a photo of one of my shyer ones that is my current favorite pic of them. Thank you Paige!
Taylor gave me peace of mind that Roanoke was doing well while our AC went out all week. Luckily the weather wasn’t too hot so everyone was safe! She also made me aware of any tummy issues Roanoke was having and worked with Rover on my behalf to ensure we weren’t overcharged after a technical blip. Thanks so much!
