“Marlene is sent from heaven. She was very reliable and came when my cats needed her to come. She was communicative and nice to work with. I would definitley use again.”
“Anne did so good for the first time staying with Cooper. She interacted with him and was very pleased with her handling & caring of our baby. We hope she will stay with Cooper again.”
“Alison was fantastic. She came by for some drop-ins while I was out of town for the weekend. She was extremely communicative, came right on schedule, made sure every one of my dog's needs was attended to, and was super easy to work with. Zero complaints.”
“Devin was awesome! He was recommended by a friend and did such a wonderful job with our two dogs while we were away. He provides detailed updates at every visit and lots of photos which we really appreciated. Thank you, Devin!”
“Cohlee really saved us in a last minute request to come and take care of my two boys multiple times over the weekend. I received great communication, photos, and confirmation the dogs were eating. My mind was at ease and I was able to enjoy a last minute vacation because of Cohlee!!!”
“Brittany was amazing!! She took amazing care of my fur babies the entire time, my flight home got delayed and she still got up and took care of them. I wouldn’t trust anybody with my. babies more than her!!!”
“Mary was great! She came in for 2 hours for a drop by to hangout with our senior dog. She messaged me when she had questions, and send lots of pictures, which we LOVE!! We had a FaceTime meet before and it was great. Would recommend :)”
“Thank you, Amy, for dropping in on Rasta. He was fed, let outside, and in the presence of good company! 🤗 Every time I tell him she will be checking in, he definitely gets excited, which helps me feel less guilty about not being with him for extending periods of time. 🥲”
“Thomas is hands down the best dog caretaker I have ever used; truly appreciate the care he provides! There is always a sense of stress and worry when traveling and having to leave my fur child behind but we did a greet and meet beforehand and Thomas was amazing with my baby boy from the start! Thomas was very supportive, responsive and genuinely cared for Buddha while I was away; going above and beyond expectations and cared for the wellbeing of my dog. Words cannot express how thankful I feel but here’s a shot, THANK YOU THOMAS!”
About: Having pets for over 25 years, and having done a lot of pet sitting for others, has taught me what unconditional love is. I am committed to understanding what each individual pet needs and wants and I tailor my attention to every pet accordingly. Long walks for dogs ✅ shorter walks ✅ playtime ✅ lots of cuddles ✅ no cuddles, no problem ✅ I am here to care for animals the way they like, as it is all about them. I always walk the dogs at their pace and they can stop and sniff as much as they want ❤️ Working for myself, and two days part-time outside my home, offers ample time to care for your pet, whether in your home or mine. I have a big yard for your puppers to play and take long walks everyday...I would love to have your dog along on my neighborhood treks. I also like to load them up in the truck and drive to new, unexplored parts of town...new sights and sounds and smells to keep our awareness sharp.
“He was very helpful and patient. My puppies have never had a stranger walk them and they were a little nervous and barked at him. Because he was so calm and patient, he was able to walk them with no issues, I would definitely recommend Dan.”
“Sam did a wonderful job watching my two cats. She even got my shy boy to come out from hiding. It made me so happy to know he was being taken care of too. Will definitely use her again. Thanks!”
“Amanda was reliable and flexible. We came back early and she switched her time for Charleys final visit. She spent time inside and out, as Charley enjoys sitting outside in her stroller, birdwatching, and she was understanding with the occasional hisses of Charley feeling unsure.. Definitely will call her again!”
About: My combination of professional experience, hands-on knowledge, and genuine lifelong passion for animals sets me apart. I worked at Pet Paradise for four years, where I gained experience caring for a wide range of pets in a structured, high-standard environment. This gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety protocols, and how to handle pets with different temperaments and needs. I am trained in animal CPR, which allows me to respond quickly and responsibly in emergency situations, providing an extra level of safety and peace of mind. Beyond my professional experience, I’ve spent my entire life caring for pets belonging to friends and neighbors, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique personality. I’m especially patient and attentive, which helps when working with young pets who are still learning boundaries, as well as senior animals who may require a gentler, more understanding approach. Whether it’s reinforcing basic training, maintaining routines, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved, I take pride in providing reliable, compassionate care every time. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part-time and remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be consistently available for the pets in my care. Because I’m home for most of the day, I’m able to provide regular check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship without long gaps. My routine easily adapts to each pet’s needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. Being remote also means I can keep a close eye on pets throughout the day, which is especially helpful for puppies, senior animals, or pets that need extra attention or monitoring. Overall, pet care isn’t something I have to squeeze in but it’s something I can prioritize and integrate seamlessly into my day, ensuring each pet gets consistent, attentive care. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on providing reliable, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable and maintains their normal routine. During dog walks, I make sure each walk is tailored to the dog’s energy level, age, and personality. Whether it’s an active walk to burn energy or a slower, more relaxed pace for senior dogs, I prioritize safety, proper leash handling, and awareness of the surroundings at all times. I also reinforce good walking habits and make sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I take time to engage with each pet so they feel comfortable and cared for, not just “checked on.” I also monitor behavior and overall well-being, keeping an eye out for anything unusual. I always respect your home, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make each visit stress-free and consistent for both you and your pet.
About: Taking care of animals is one of my biggest passions. Growing up in Florida, I have been surrounded by all kinds of animals and family pets and truly can't live without them. I've had dogs of varying sizes, from chihuahua to doberman, and dog walking is my absolute favorite activity. I am also the worlds biggest cat person as I currently am mom to 3 cats, Sasha, Isis, and Frank!! I do absolutely wonderful with cats and am very good at taking care of them and understanding their needs, their boundaries, and their social cues. Not just cats and dogs I've also had bunnies, fish, turtles, and birds as well so my love for animals goes deep. I understand how important they are to us so I would take care of any pet like they are my own. I work from home so I can take care of pets every day. I wake up at 7 am to begin taking care of my cats. I have availabilities 7 days a week. If your pet has a specific routine just fill me in on the details and I will treat them as if they were my own! I live in a home with a backyard and multiple rooms for space for pets. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood where I can walk dogs for miles and miles! If a pet requires any type of specific space, I have room to provide it for them.
“Katy took care of my three dogs for the weekend while I was out of town. She was quick to respond and kept me updated with photos and notes about how they did throughout the weekend. The dogs were so happy and well cared for! It was comforting to know my pups were in great hands while I was away. Thank you, Katy! We look forward to seeing you again :)”
Gulfport cat parents share their Rover experiences
Samantha was absolutely amazing with Quinn! I can tell she genuinely loves and cares for animals and makes yours feel loved and doted on. She was reliable, professional, and made sure to keep me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My quinn was loved on, well cared for, and extremely comfortable with her from the moment they met. Samantha went above and beyond to make sure all of his needs were met, and I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitting experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!
We had an unusual pet sitting request with a stray cat we are transitioning into a domesticated indoor cat. Amanda was incredibly patient with the process and was able to successfully provide some excellent care and what appeared to be some very needy cuddles to our new member of the family, courtesy of the cat distribution system. She communicated well and provided adequate and occasionally entertaining photos. I would highly recommend Amanda for any pet care. She was absolutely terrific!
Marlene is wonderful with my boys! This is the 4th time we have used her services. One cat needs meds 2x a day and she is a pro getting him to take it! She arrives on time and interacts with them as much as they want along with feeding and scooping! Thank you Marlene!
Cassandra was an amazing sitter for our cat. We were nervous since this was the first time our cat was traveling with us and the first time we used Rover but Cassandra did everything she could to make us feel comfortable and spent extra time making sure our cat was cared for and she went above and beyond! I would recommend her and use her again. Five stars. Thank you!
Anika is hands down the best Rover sitter my fur kids have ever had. We all will miss her as we are moving out of state. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s responsive, reliable, communicative and writes the best report cards- I feel like I’m really caught up on the animals with her in charge. If you’re looking for a good sitter look no further!
Kylie was beyond amazing! I love to travel but have always been stressed whenever away from my boys & was never able to leave for the length of time I’d like. Kylie made the whole experience so smooth & so easy! Not once did I stress on vacation & they even went above & beyond, asking if they could help groom Jerry! I’m beyond grateful to have her in my life now & will book her instantly whenever traveling. I would recommend her to anyone & everyone! She cares about your pets & your household. I came home to clean dishes, litter & happy kitties! We love Kylie!!
It was great for me to find Thomas. I have several cats that require medication and special attention, so it’s difficult for me to find someone I am comfortable leaving in their care. Thomas is that person. He made sure the one cats medications were on time, and even became friends with my one very shy one. Definitely will be contacting him again in the future.
