“Wonderful! Great communication especially since we were in another country. Our kitty got lots of quality attention and all tasks were expertly completed. Will book again!”

“Due to no fault of his own, we learned through this experience that apparently my kitties would rather bond with females. Yet, Amir pulled through, going far and beyond to find that bond. He, on his own, bought toys and treats, trying to coax them out of their shells. He searched our house through and through trying to find our one kitty, who insisted on hiding the entire time he was in our home. If, and when, you are in a situation where you have to leave your animals in the hands of another - for us, this meant traveling of state and really needing someone we could trust to be our best replacements - Amir is your guy! If, and when, we are in need again, we will be calling him”
“I’ve used Bonnie quite a few times now and she always goes above and beyond my expectations. She is my go-to when I go out of town. I will definitely book her again.”

“Damita really helped us out because right after we left on vacation our power went out. Then our flight home was delayed and Damita quickly agreed to add another visit to our booking to care for our dog. She continuously updated us and asked how she could be of more help. We’re really impressed with her kindness and how she went to extra mile for us. Thanks Damita!”

“Kaylee was amazing! She spent time with our kitties, played with them, fed them, and even gave them treats that her cat didn’t love. She was a clear communicator and reliable! We’d have her watch our cats any time!”

“This was our first time using Rover.com and I felt comfortable leaving my cat in Mackenzie's care. She was on time every day. She spent time with my cat and sent us an update and picture every visit. I will definitely use her again.”


“Julie took great care of my 5-year-old German Shepherd. She was very responsive, professional, and reliable. I’m so glad I found her and would definitely recommend her.”

“Asher was so great to work with. Key highlights include her communication, her report cards of each visit, cute photos she captured of Louie, and her kindness & flexibility. I will definitely use her cat sitting services again!”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and can't imagine a home without them. While I haven't worked as a professional dog sitter, I've spent years caring for my own dogs and have always been the person friends, family, and neighbors call when they need someone trustworthy to watch their pets. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications as directed, or simply providing companionship and lots of affection, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like they're part of my family. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I strive to provide a calm, loving, and dependable experience for both pets and their owners. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or cuddling on the couch, I'm happy to tailor my care to their needs and routine. I look forward to meeting your pup and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own two dogs every day. I enjoy going on walks, spending time outdoors, and making sure dogs get the attention, exercise, and affection they need. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any special requests from pet parents. I provide plenty of supervision, exercise, attention, and affection, while treating every pet as if they were my own. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me.
“Matthew did an amazing job coming by our house to check on our cat and gather our mail. He contacted us with updates on how everything was. Would definitely have him house sit again in the future.”

About: I love all animals. I have a very active puppy that loves walks and I know that everyone’s lives get busy. I try and be available as needed but I also work full time. My pet care experience has mostly been with my own animals. Everyone is busy and tend to work long days. It sucks when you feel guilty for not spending time with your dog. Luckily with services like this you are free from guilt and know that your dog is being taken care of. I love having the option of someone walking my dog (especially after a very long day). If you are comfortable with it my dog also loves new friends and long walks. I try and walk my dog everyday. I work full time but have a flexible schedule to care for animals. I have two dogs but I split them with my ex and on those weeks, I’m extra available. I have a large condo that has access to lots of walking paths and nature. The animal would feel safe and comfortable at my home. I’m also able to go to your home and provide care (that can be easier for pets). I currently watch a lot of my friends dogs when they are out and have shown that I care for their space and animals.
About: Hello! I provide pet sitting, walking, and drop in’s! I would love to take care of your fur baby! I have been an animal lover since day one. I am currently going to school to be a Veterinarian so you can be confident that your pet will be well cared for and happy when you see them! While I house sit you can be assured that your house will look better than when you left it and your pet well taken care of. I provide at least two walks daily to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy! I work full time Monday-Friday 7am-2pm. When house sitting I will only be gone those hours and the rest of the day/night I will be looking after the pet. This schedule has worked well thus far, and hope it continues😁 I give unlimited attention through out the day. I love getting outside and going on long walks, regardless of the weather. I have my own dogs and I know how much responsibility you need to have to care for any animal.
About: I have experience working at a pet hospital that specialized in the care of cats and dogs. I’ve had the opportunity to care for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m also experienced in caring for pets with a variety of medical conditions and specific needs, including dietary restrictions and medication administration. In addition to my veterinary experience, I have about 3 years of pet-sitting experience, caring for cats and dogs for my friends and family. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing when needed, and providing plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and give them all the love and care they deserve! 🐾 I am available primarily on weekends, as I work full-time during the week. I’m available on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 AM to 8 PM. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your pet's safety and their environment with the same care and respect I would give my own fur babies. I follow each pet parent’s instructions and routines closely, making sure pets are comfortable, supervised, and stay on their regular schedule as much as possible. I’m respectful of your home and keep things clean and tidy while I’m there. I can also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Harlie took such great care of my cats! She gave me thorough updates and great pictures. Everything was nicely cleaned up and tidy when I got home which was so nice! She even brought in some packages I had received. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I have compassion and am understanding for animals that is hard to put in to words. I carry empathy towards all living things. I have had several dogs of my own and know how much it means to have someone you can rely on to care for them when you’re away. I am currently at home full time and don’t have plans on that changing anytime soon. I am able to work around your schedule and as needed. I have a few appointments a week but they are only one hour at a time. The rest of my time is free. I tend to take my two dogs to the park every day to play ball or run around (depending on weather sometimes). I would love to bring yours along as well. My dogs are very friendly and know how to give your pets their own space when needed. Please keep in mind that if you need a house/pet sitter, my two dogs would have to come with me as I am single and don’t have anyone to care for them. They are great with other dogs and cats. Fully potty chained. No chewing. Keeping safe distance from other animals, always leashed, never left at home alone, reassurance to help them feel safe in the new environment, treats, nap.
About: Hi there, my name is Tara, and I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and cats. I'm a very attentive, organized, and responsible person. I'm very aware of the needs of pets, giving frequent potty breaks, play/walk time, and never missing a meal. I'm happy to give baths also! My ultimate goal is to make sure your pet is as happy as possible in your absence. And hopefully to become good friends with your pets :) I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful little family members. I’m currently balancing part-time work and school, but my schedule gives me flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to coordinate drop-ins, walks, or sitting around my class and work schedule, and I’ll always confirm availability before booking. I take pet safety and routines seriously and will follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, walks, and any household rules. I’m also comfortable giving pets space when they need it and paying attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats all my life since I was very young like 5. I've owned multiple cats and dogs over the years. I currently have 3 cats right now. No dogs. But I love dogs too. I can administer medications for them as well for both cats and dogs. I have a very flexible schedule. I'm my own boss so I have all the time in the world to take care of your fur baby's. I don't mind house sitting at all. Can walk dogs anytime. Feed them. Clean up after them and provide one on one attention to your fur baby's. No problem. I love animals. I do know how to be firm and give commands to dogs as well. Any questions please feel free to ask me anything. Thanks I am currently my own boss and have all the time in the world for your fur baby's. I'm free everyday, anytime you need me. I currently live in an apartment. There's places to walk dogs and a fenced play area for dogs. No fence in yard because it's an apartment. Can put a crate inside if needed for dogs. I prefer if they didn't have to use one. As long as they like cats. I'm also set up to board cats as well if they are friendly with other cats. I have two outside cats and one that lives only inside with me. They all come in at night.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gladstone
Myka is wonderful with my hyper-reactive cane corso! She comes in, gets Athena hooked up to the leash right away, and takes her for a good walk. Myka has gone above and beyond with keeping me updated and informed of any issues or conditions that need addressed. Athena is very comfortable around Myka, which is quite rare for Athena. Myka comes in with a quiet confidence and just takes charge of things for Athena. I dont know what I'd do without Myka!

We had a great experience with Sophia! She dropped in on our girls for three days this week and was wonderful. She was always prompt and on time, followed everything we asked, and even took the girls for a walk one day, which was such a nice bonus! Most importantly, the girls seemed happy and comfortable with her, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were at work. Everything went smoothly, and we had absolutely no complaints. We would definitely be happy to have her watch them again!

Colin was phenomenal at taking care of our pup! He left detailed notes that gave us great updates and peace of mind that our dog was well cared for. Colin took our dog out for a walk, even when not necessary, to give her extra attention and stimulation. We came back to one happy dog and safe home!

Kimberly takes such wonderful care of my deaf/blind old pup, Ollie and my shy kitty, Louise! She had dropped by to care for them a few times and I absolutely adore the photos she sends. I can just tell that both of my animals are comfortable and curious with Kimberly. I know it’s because Kimberly treats them like they were her own. It is so clear that she loves animals and really will go the extra mile (or few) to make sure the animals are cared for. Five stars and would highly recommended!

Addy took exceptional care of our dogs and home while we were away for a long weekend. She brings genuine warmth and confidence to her work, and we had complete peace of mind throughout our trip. Her check-ins were always on time, and it was such a treat to receive photos of our happy pups. We came home to well-cared-for dogs and a tidy home. We couldn’t recommend Addy more highly!

JuliAnna was fantastic! We left our 6 year old dog with her last minute. This job required her to be extremely flexible. Our trip out of town was last minute and we had never met JuliAnna prior this but we had her a chance and we lucked out! She handled our dog fantastically with almost no guidance from us. Extremely trustworthy and my dog had never been this happy. I can’t recommend JuliAnna enough!

Susan did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation! She was so caring, had excellent communication, and updated us with photos and details each time she dropped by for a visit. We highly recommend Susan, and will be using her again in the future.

We’ve worked with Katlynne several times and she’s always done a great job! Our pets are pretty high maintenance and we always get nervous leaving them, but she’s very reliable and goes above and beyond our care instructions. She was even willing to check on and feed our chickens!

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Gladstone choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
