“Extremely grateful for Jordan!!! Jordan was able to help out with a last minute request to let my boys out & was still willing to assist in poor weather. Extremely trustworthy and a breeze to work with. Thank you!!”

“Kim is absolutely fantastic! I contacted Kim and asked if she could walk my two dogs for a couple of days. Kim kindly replied to me quickly and was very accommodating to my last minute request. She treated my dogs with so much love and care. She made sure to refill their water, give them a few treats and sent me some adorable pictures of them where they looked so happy! She is absolutely great and will treat your pet(s) with love!”

About: I have my own 11 year old cat, and just took in a stray cat this year. I also had a cat and multiple dogs growing up. I have helped care for my friends young kittens when she was out of town, and also have offered support to family members - both cats and dogs. I have a full time corporate job that I work from home Monday-Friday. It is very flexible so I am able to offer support throughout the day. I won’t be offering pet care at my own home due to having my own cats. In terms of a clients home,I will be respectful of the home. Offer a safe & comfortable support for the animal, make sure they have everything they need, and give them some good human interaction! I bring a warm & soft energy with animals and build their trust :)
“Amanda was great! We needed her to walk our dog while we were gone all day to visit family out of town on Christmas Day. We were first time Rover users and a little nervous, but Amanda graciously allowed us to do a “meet and greet” a few days before so Snickers was familiar with her. We only needed her to walk her so she could potty, but Amanda went above and beyond and stayed with her the whole 30 minutes she was booked with us. Amazing! And on Christmas Day too. 😊”

About: I've been taking care of animals (both cats and dogs) since childhood! Family pets are near and dear to my heart. I can provide quality care for your furry friends and provide prompt updates and photos when you are away from them. I have experience working with both cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m currently working part-time before starting medical school, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer dependable drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they feel cared for and comfortable while you're away. I care for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable. I offer reliable transportation to reach your home and can transport pets if needed. During drop-in visits, I provide loving attention, fresh food and water, playtime, and prompt updates with photos to keep you at ease. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my priority.
“Brooke has been so wonderful caring for my sweet Hank for his daily walks! She is always attentive to his needs and ensures he has the best day with her, and always provides me with pictures and a snapshot about their day. I know we are both going to miss having her around! She has been nothing short of amazing to my baby and I’m sure will do the same for yours!”

About: Hi! My name is Krista and I currently have 2½ years of professional pet care experience. I work at a pet boarding and grooming facility where I spend my day playing and taking care of an assortment of animals. Some of my duties include cleaning up any mess the pets make, prepping and feeding all boarding pets, administering medication when required, taking dogs outside to play, supervising daycare, assisting with grooming (nail trims, baths & brushing), and keeping a clean environment for the pets. I have also learned basic first aid for dogs and was trained by our on-site vet-tech on what to do in emergencies. I've also had a wide variety of pets my whole life including dogs, cats, rabbits, ducks, a turtle, snakes and bearded dragons! I absolutely adore animals and would love to be your go to pet care provider! I'm currently working part time and can stop by to check on your pups throughout the day! I can also provide overnight care as needed and am more than willing to take your pup out on a little day trip for a pup cup, new toy or a long walk. When you leave your pet with me, you aren't just booking a sitter. I treat every pet like family with gentle care, close attention and a whole lot of love. From belly rubs to bedtime routines, I follow your instructions to a T and will keep you updated with photos and messages. So whether its a weekend getaway or a long workday, I'm here to make sure all your pups needs are taken care of!
“Angelee did a great job with our dog during his first “alone” time in the house during vacation. She reliably kept the routine and was super communicative, making sure we knew all was well. We’ll be sure to ask her again :)”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. We grew up with dogs and added cats to the mix when I was in high school. I’ve had several cats and dogs since then. Presently I have a two week on, two week off schedule. During my two weeks off I need something to do and pet sitting would both give me something to do, and allow me to have some dogs around. I’m a fan of walking so don’t worry about your puppets getting exercise! Pet care in my home is dictated by you, and enhanced by me. I’ll feed on the schedule you’ve set, but I’ve been advised by vets to let dogs have as much water as they want. So I’m happy with frequent yard time, or even walks if that’s necessary. With a fenced in back yard this is not a problem. And while I’m a sucker for puppy eyes, I’ll treat how you want as well. You also don’t need to worry about strong discipline. I will never hit or kick your dog.
“Jessica is absolutely incredible! She provided outstanding care and service for my high-energy dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling energetic pups. My dog took to her right away, and every walk left him happy and well-exercised (which is no easy task!).”

“Duchess had a great time walking with Jubilee. Jubilee stepped in and saved a friend of mine who was experiencing post surgical difficulty with professionalism and poise. Coordinating this from many states away proved entirely possible because of Jubilee's response and attention to detail as we navigated this tumultuous time. Couldn't be more grateful or satisfied with Jubilee or Roverdotcom. Without these two amazing two partners, I don't know what we'd have done.”

About: I’ve had pets for most of my life. I’ve had a cat for the last 8 years and I have had a dog for almost 2 years. I have experience giving cats and dogs medication as well as cleaning up after them. I love using Rover and wanted to return the favor. I work full time but I work from home two days a week and I’m available most weekends. I also tend to be available during some holidays. I have a puppy who loves new friends and is good with every dog he has met so far. I have a park right behind my house so it is easy to give your dog some exercise. If I’m in your home I’ll be sure to stick to your rules.
“Kelso is amazing!! I would highly recommend her. Super responsive and great to work with. Most importantly, did a wonderful job with my dog for the weekend. Kelso went above and beyond to make sure our dog got all the love and care she needed while we were away.”
