“Kim was awesome taking care of our cat Nala while we were out of the country. She gave detailed updates each day with pictures that really made the time easier, and Nala couldn’t have been happier with her company and care.”


“I can't recommend Ronnie highly enough! He took such amazing care of our shy one-year-old cat for a week while we were on vacation. I was super anxious as we had never had anyone but friends or family watch our pets before. Ronnie patiently answered my long list of questions at our meet and greet. We booked two visits per day, since our girl is still so young. We weren't sure if she would hide when Ronnie dropped in. Not only did she come out when he dropped in, she also played, followed him around the house, and let him pet her. When we got home, it was like we never left. Our girl acted completely normal - not upset, stressed, or confused at all. Thank you, Ronnie!”


“Emalee was absolutely amazing with our three crazy cats! From looking through her photos, it was clear that she spent quality time with them both playing and relaxing. She is also an EXCELLENT photographer and sent us some amazing photos. Would highly recommend Emalee.”


“Kayligh is the best. She’s always on time and takes great care of my pets. My 16 year old diabetic cat loves her. We most recently were gone for over two weeks which was stressful with my cats age and medication but getting pictures daily from her was so nice. Highly highly recommend!”


“I can always count on Alana to be thoughtful and reliable. She’s very east to work with, and easy to communicate with. I know that my kitty and dog are in good hands when she’s taking care of them. I highly recommend her.”


“Katie is absolutely wonderful, book with complete confidence in her. We left our two cats in her care during a family vacation and she went above and beyond making them as comfortable as possible during our absence. We would absolutely book her services again in the future. Thank you Katie!”



“Bhavneet took excellent care of our two kitties! She took the time to play with them and was very communicative with me and sent photos. I would definitely recommend Bhavneet!”


“Sarah is great! Always very responsive and keeps me up to date during her visits. You can tell she is a true animal lover. Happy to recommend!!”



“Arianne was a wonderful cat sitter to my two cats. She did a good job communicating with me. She was attentive and caring with the cats and let me know how they were doing each day. She also sent me pictures. She went above and beyond and even scheduled an extra day to watch the cats at the end when our flight was canceled.”


About: I’ve had family dogs for my entire life! I currently own a sweetest dog named Rocky! Everyday I feel like I get to attached with them more than I do with people! Love taking them out on a walk, dog park, or wherever they want me to take them! I have a summer break until like beginning of September! Would rather have weekends to myself until 2-4pm! If you need me during weekends we could definitely make it work! I live in an apartment so it would be better if your fur babies want to stay at their homes! I can do whatever works the best for them!

“Jasmine was wonderful! When my trip was extended due to car trouble, she extended the reservation to cover the days I was out without any problems. She was very patient with my shy cat, and by the end of the stay was even able to pet her. Jasmine also brought in my packages and cleaned up my cat's vomit. I couldn't ask for more.”


About: I got my first dog Roxie at 8 years old. My mom made me a big part of her training and I assumed full responsibility after a few months. Summer 2021, I adopted a dog for myself and it’s been a blast! I have experience handling surgery recovery and medication administration. Douglas and I would love to have some more company over the summer! I work part-time at Lasertron which is only open Thursday-Sunday and though my schedule isn’t the same every weekend I know my shifts are 6-9 hours long. The other days I will be at home with Douglas doing summer classwork and hanging out, and I may volunteer once a week at the hospital though the day has not been set for that yet. I have a 1 y/o 11lbs Yorkiepoo named Douglas living here with me who loves other dogs of all sizes and is extremely tolerant of cats. The neighborhood is pretty quiet but there’s a small dog park and sidewalks throughout the whole neighborhood. Doug generally alerts when he needs to use the restroom and grazes on food, but if there’s a bathroom and food schedule you’d like just let me know.

About: I’m a professional handler making a pivot to personalized individual care. I have experience in the training world; I’ve even trained my own service dog. I’ve also worked in behavioral health as a Canine Care Technician. I’m currently a student a RIT studying for a career in Public Safety. I do almost exclusively afternoon/evening classes and am willing to wake up early just for the special cat or dog in your life. I am certified in Fear Free/LIMA techniques and have a grasp on positively-reinforced Balance training. I will default to your family’s system to maintain a safe environment for your beloved pets. With your consent, I will leave the house better than I found it; dishes (including water/food bowls) will be washes and the floor swept. We will agree on appropriate times for me to send updates and you will get as many photos as you could possibly want (I have mastered portrait mode on my phone as it relates pet photography. You can ask for previous works.) Thank you for the opportunity to help you optimize your pet’s day. It will be a day full of joy and whimsy!

“Thanks for taking care of our cat, Calvin. It meant a lot to us to know that you were checking in on him and taking care of his needs. Thanks for good communication and for sending us photos.”


About: Hi, I’m Jackie! 🐾 With many years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I truly love what I do. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs extra exercise or a shy kitty who needs gentle companionship, I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs and personality. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. I look forward to meeting your furry family member! I currently work full time and am looking for an extra side gig! I am available all weekends and weekday evenings after 4:30 to care for your animal! I have experience with high anxiety dogs, so I understand that a new face can be hard for some furry friends! I also have experience with my dog pulling on his leash while walking, so I know how to handle that situation.

About: Taken care of dogs and cats for 10+ years, love and consistency is key to helping animals thrive! Former petco worker who handled dogs on the daily basis! I’m currently a full time student who’s an engineering student . Dogs and cats have always brought joy and love out of me. The best way to pay them back is to keep servicing the community! I get energy from interacting with animals and their owners! Fits great for my schedule as well I care take of pets in my home, by giving love, attention, play and exercise everyday. I do the same for clients and their families fur babies!

“Kayla was beyond thorough and took excellent care of our Luna. We will definitely be booking again with her in the future!”


“Sarah was absolutely wonderful to have at the house to care for my pets! This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more impressed. Sarah came out prior to the day I needed assistance to meet my pets and learn where everything was or what was needed. As the visits occurred she was great about sending photos and also tracking what the animals did as far as going potty, eating, etc. I knew my fur babies were in good hands!”


About: I grew up with dogs, and owned my own for 7 years. I have house sat for multiple families and prefer to stay at the home since I have found it to be less stressful for the pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, rats, Guinea pigs, horses, and even reptiles! I also have experience with animals that need medication such as anxiety meds and insulin. I am currently in esthetics school and working park time. Depending on when booking my schedule may be different. If your pet is special needs, I will adjust my schedule to fit those needs when given advanced notice. If the yard is fenced I will use that or a leash if that is provided. I can also take your dogs on a walks! When letting dogs out, I prefer to keep an eye on them so I will usually sit outside while they do their business.

About: I have always had pets my whole life, a whole variety of them too! I have experience working with much larger animals including horses as well, which happen to be my favorite! I have cared for a handful of neighbors pets including walking them, feeding, taking out, and playing too. I am working part-time currently so I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your feline or fido! Walks are always a plus as I get my exercise too! I am always one to put the animal first. If your baby is a little more skiddish, I'll give them plenty of time to warm up! If they want to play an extra few minutes, I'm more than happy to throw their toy for them. If they would rather relax and cuddle, I will be more than happy! Whatever they want always comes first.

Westley-Morgan T.
“My cats are not fans of new people. Westley sat on the couch for 5 minutes before he had Phantom next to him. Sebastian gave him bumps too. I have also never seen a person off social media care as much about a pet's mental engagement as I have seen Wes care about his dogs. If anyone will make you pet as comfortable as possible while away from their favorite human, it's him.”

I highly recommend Jacqueline and I’ll be using her from here on out! 5 stars all a round! Book with her you will not be disappointed!! And your animals will be loved and cared for!”


Alejandro G.
“Alejandro is a great , consistent, on time and dependable animal caregiver! I’ve known Alejandro for the past 10 years and I hold him to be a close dear friend. My dog and cat don’t trust many but Alejandro has a knack for making fur babies feel safe and at home wherever they might be! He loves to socialize and take care of them as much as they take care of him. I would highly recommend booking with Alejandro for your next rover booking!”
