“Kayla is such a great rover! This was my first experience with rover and I was so very pleased with our experience with Kayla. She was very communicative and responded quickly. I loved the daily pictures she sent too! She went above and beyond!”


About: I have grown up with two dogs and two cats my whole life. I have helped my neighbor with their dog a few times, but I have mainly helped my parents the most. When they are gone on weekends or even for long weeks, I will watch all of our animals and help take care/look after them during the times they are gone. I have put 3 years of experience because I didn't start helping out as much till the end of high school and into college. I do work a part time summer job. My availability can change day to day. Reach out and I can be as flexible as possible. I have two dogs who are well fed and taken care of. I tend to play with them as much as possible and lay with them and give cuddles. My cats get the same treatment and all the animals are very very spoiled when it comes to toys, food, and love.
“Samantha did a great job taking care of our Finn. She treated him with the same care and understanding that we shoutout dog. We look forward to connecting with Samantha for future care of Finn.”

“Carol is a wonderful. We had a great meet and greet to start off. And she has been amazing with my girls Grace and Gabby. We just relocated to the area and Carol has been so attentive to the needs of the girls- coming over twice on our first day because I was concerned about the girls being alone and anxious. She has helped with my trash and has just been a big help. Carol has a soft spot for senior dogs and my girls are seniors with big personalities - she enjoys them and their quirky behaviors.”

“Josh did a wonderful job taking care of Mali. Mali took to Josh right away when he came for his meet visit which really put our mind at ease. He went above and beyond taking care of her. This was our first time using a rover but I will not hesitate to use Josh again. Mali was happy and well taken care of when we got home from our trip.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs for about 5 years for friends and family. I walk, feed, and administer medication. I also love to play with your pups! We will play a lot of fetch, go to the dog park, make crafts, and get lots of belly rubs. I have also had to handle seizures on several occasions. I currently work full time in downtown Delaware from 8:00-4:30, give or take the commute to and from your home. However, my weekends typically consist of hanging out and giving pups lots of play time. I love getting out for a walk or the dog park when it’s nice. If it’s not nice outside, I love to cuddle with your pup and a movie. When at other homes, I keep the same level of respect I would expect from someone staying in my home. I respect privacy of homeowners and I always leave the house clean. I also provide lots of photos and videos of your pets playing, lounging, and walking.
About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve worked with playful puppies, shy rescues, and older dogs who need a slower, more gentle approach. I’m especially patient and attentive, whether that means reinforcing basic training, sticking to a detailed routine, or just giving extra cuddles and reassurance. What makes me different is how much I truly treat every pet like family. I don’t just “watch” pet, I bond with them. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student doing all online classes, so my schedule can quite be flexible! I have reliable transportation as well. I only have hour long workouts that can be moved to whatever time preferred. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific preferences, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. Safety is always a top priority. I’m careful to secure doors and entry points to prevent escapes, keep the environment clean and hazard-free, and respect any household rules you have in place. I also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems off.
About: I’ve been a proud dog and cat mom for more than 40 years. I spent three decades in the corporate world — often working long hours or traveling for business. Leaving my fur kids behind was always the hardest part, especially when it came to finding someone I could truly trust to love and care for them the way I would. That experience inspired me to offer pet care built on trust, compassion, and genuine love for animals. Knowing that you can head out for the day (or that much-needed vacation) with total peace of mind — that’s what makes this work so rewarding. I grew up in southwestern Ohio, where I began pet sitting in my neighborhood at the age of 13. My lifelong love of animals has led me to volunteer with local humane societies and rescue groups, and I've also been a foster mom. Our most recent "foster fail" is Pippa, a sassy one-year-old ginger kitty. Our fur family also includes two tabby cats, Bo and Cledus, who we adopted as kittens four years ago), and two rowdy pups who are also rescues, Wally (age 12) and Milo (age 2), bothShih Tzu mixes. I'm retired from my corporate marketing career and work a part-time job a few days a week. That leaves plenty of time for drop-in visits or to take your fur baby on a walk. I'm in the neighborhood, which means I'm nearby when you need unexpected help. I'm happy to provide loving care when you can't be there. I have a senior dog who has some medical issues that require extra attention. I also have a young pup who demands lots of attention, including daily walks. I'm experienced in the full spectrum of dog care. My dogs are leash-trained and crate trained. I also have 3 cats, ranging from 1 to 4 years and have experience brushing, feeding, hairball treating, litter box cleaning and playing.
About: I've been pet-sitting for five years for family and neighbors, and loved every minute of it! I worked at a pet store for multiple years and am very knowledgeable in everything pet related. If you need help with amphibians, reptiles, or small animals, I'm also knowledgeable and able to pet-sit them! I am currently a full-time college student but will always have time for your pets! I will be busy with classes for roughly three hours a day and working during the evening on most days. Weekends I do not have classes but will still have work. Please message me for any questions about scheduling around my work and school. I am unable to watch any pets in my home, however I am always open to taking care of any pets somewhere else. I will be able to give lots of love and walks to pets who need it!
“Gina is amazing!! I cannot say enough positive things. Our wild little kitten had just gotten his cast off after recovering from a bad broken leg and was barely putting weight on it. I was in a panic having to leave town unexpectedly and she put my mind at ease and took care of him like her own. She gave him his meds, spoon fed him his food as he was struggling to eat in his cone and kept him out of trouble, which isn’t an easy task. Gina truly went above and beyond and we are very grateful.”

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reliable companion while you're away, I strive to provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual needs. I work from home so I can prioritize your pets needs around the clock. My schedule can work seamlessly with puppies or small dogs that need frequent bathroom breaks. At home, I care for my own dog like family. I have a Frenchie who I absolutely adore, and her daily routine includes regular walks, playtime, and visits to the park so she can stay active and social. She’s very friendly, gentle, and loves being around other dogs, so she’s a great example of the calm, positive environment I aim to provide for any pets in my care
“Taylor is great with our dog and she communicates so well from the time of booking to post visits. She also has been available last minute when we desperately needed help. Highly recommended Taylor!”
