“Kate was so amazing with our two pets! Can’t recommend her enough! :)”

About: Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the joy of caring for family and friends dogs when needed, giving their dogs a loving home away from home. I work from home so I have flexibility of time and a lot of love to give to your furry friend! Available for boarding any day of the week. My fenced-in back yard offers a safe environment for fresh air, fun, and exercise. Dogs allowed on furniture. I have a two year old lab who loves other dogs! I can also crate if needed.

“Oh my goodness Kim is a phenomenal cat sitter!! We came back from a 6 day trip and our picky senior cats acted like we’d never been gone. She sent great pics of them each day so I could see all the love and attention they were getting. Kim was also kind enough to handle mail and packages, and even left us a lovely welcome home treat. We’ve had mixed experiences with others in the past and it’s comforting to find someone who treats your pets and home so thoughtfully. So glad we found her!”

“Emmy was quick to respond to my requests and was so sweet! She showed up on time and got along with our GSP Pepper so well! We will definitely be using her again! This was my first time using Rover and I was impressed with how easy it was to get started.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them and can't imagine life without them. Twice a week I volunteer at a local dog rescue, which keeps me sharp on handling dogs of all ages, temperments, and needs. I also share my home with cats, so I understand feline routines and personalities just as well as I do dogs. From playful puppies and kittens to gentle seniors who need a little extra patience, I am able to offer an energetic walk or a calm, reassuring visit to your pet's day. I bring genuine love, attentiveness, and real hands-on experience to every walk and drop-in. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a consistent schedule and enjoy planning my days around the pets I am caring for. I volunteer at a dog rescue on Monday and Friday mornings and have a few standing commitments on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Outside of those times, I have a flexible schedule and am committed to maintaining each pet's individual or household routines. I am very reliable, thrive with structure, and always make sure the pets in my care receive the attention and consistency they deserve. I believe pets thrive with a consistent routine and am able to follow instructions closely for feeding, litter box cleaning, walks, medications, brushing, and any other custom and daily care. I also pay close attention to each pet's behavior and body language so I am able to recognize when something seems out of character or when they need a different approach, committing to always notify the owner for follow up. I never force interactions or activities- for example, if a dog is not interested in a walk, I will adjust and find an alternative way to keep them engaged and comfortable. Above all, I prioritize a clean, safe, and low-stress environment where both cats and dogs feel secure and well cared for.

“Carleen is terrific! She was on time, sent lots of pictures, was quick and proactive with her communications and even picked up our mail one day. We came home after two weeks to very happy kitties.”

“Taylynn is absolutely wonderful! Loving, punctual, and very attentive to details. You can tell she truly cares and is focused on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. 🐾❤️”

About: Hi we are Don and Bobbi! We both have grown up around dogs our entire lives and have always been passionate about caring for animals. Between our families, we’ve had many dogs and cats over the years, giving us experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Today, we have two dogs and a cat of our own and understand the importance of providing pets with love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment. We’ve also pet sat for friends and family and have enjoyed getting to know and care for their pets as if they were our own. We decided to join Rover because we love spending time with animals and thought it would be a fun way to help other pet owners feel confident that their pets are receiving excellent care while they’re away. We understand our profile is new with no reviews but we promise to provide exceptional care and hope to show that through reviews as we get settled on this app! Bobbi works from home Monday-Friday and Don works from home Monday and Friday. Someone will always be home to care for your animals! Our flexible schedules allow pet care to be a priority. We have a massive yard for the dogs to run around and are constantly going on leashed walks near our house. Our house is their house and we are happy to play with your pup as much as they need!

About: Hi there! I have 7 years of pet sitting experience along with taking care of my own animals throughout my life. I have the most experience with dogs, cats, and birds (though I’m no stranger to farm animals). I love being outdoors and staying active, so I’m always happy to go on walks, play outside, and keep pets engaged and comfortable. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and I always do my best to ensure that they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I work Monday-Thursday 7-5 which means that I am available before and after work and have open days Friday-Sunday. In some cases I’m able to be available during lunch time depending on the proximity of the pet to my workplace. I have a fenced in backyard and live right next to a track for plenty of running/walking time for your pet. I try to stick to the routine of the pet that I’m taking care of so that they aren’t experiencing too much change while their owner is away!

“Kelly was great to work with. This was my first time so we scheduled a quick meet and greet. She also sent pictures of her visit to Bella. Thanks! ”

About: I have had dogs since childhood! “Puppy” love can change any attitude! A little TLC for your fur babies is what I can provide for you. I work remotely so pretty flexible on time. Feeding, walking, playing all in a days work. I find that a little animal break in my day make me more productive. Our 3 large dogs use doggy door but the little ones have to be let out. We walk our dogs every morning and throw balls ever afternoon.

“One day I was fine, the next day I started a twelve-day stay in the Critical Care Unit of a major teaching hospital. I contacted Haley—I had never used her before, who stepped into 3-a-day visits to take care of Douglas for the duration of my hospial stay. I reeceived daily reports, but also she communicated with my friends so I could completely concentrate my efforts on healing. I feel she was part of the team that saved my life.”

Nancy L.

“Jordan was incredibly communicative and went above and beyond during her visits. She spent time with our anxious pup and worked on making sure she got mental stimulation at each visit. We feel very lucky to have “found” her.”

“Alyssa did a great job with our pets while we were on vacation. We have a koi pond, a cat, and three dogs! She came by three times a day to take of our pets. I would definitely ask Alyssa to watch our pets again.”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats, including pets with physical and mental disabilities. I love animals and have lots of energy. I can keep up with, and care for, pets of all personalities! I am available for pet care all day, 7 days a week. I am an artist, so my schedule is very flexible and open to last minute changes. I communicate quickly and keep pet owners updated throughout the day. I will provide pets with the care and attention they need. I love animals and will do everything I can to make them feel comfortable while keeping their routine and helping them get proper exercise.

“This was our first time using Rover. Riley was helpful in explaining how it worked. She watched our cat for several visits for two days. For each visit she sent information on how the visit went. Unfortunately our kitty would run and hide after greeting her so she couldn’t get many pictures. She even went and found him and sat trying to convince him to come out! He ate well during her visits and she was kind to clean up the dirty cat bowls each time! It’s also very comforting knowing Riley has experience working in a vet clinic.”

“Alexis was fantastic. We had her check on our elder dog and young cat while we were away for the week. Our dog had recently had a health issue and Alexis was able to apply ear drops on her visits as well. This is the second time we have used her and both times were great.”

About: I have a French bulldog that I love so much. I have enjoyed pet sitting for other families during the summers as well as walking dogs. I will love your pup like my own. I am happy to help in the evenings at night during the week. On the weekends and during the summer I will have more availability. I will follow all instructions from the client. I am happy to stay and play with the pup or take them on walks and go potty.
