“Carrie took great care of our fur babies while we were gone. It was our first time using the Rover service and we are very pleased. She was prompt and efficient and sent us photos of each trip. The animals warmed up to her and were very comfortable. We are very thankful for her help.”

“Kelly was awesome! I had last minute travel plans for the holidays and had never used Rover before, but I’m glad I did! She was prompt, communicative, and sent detailed updates/pictures so I could have peace of mind while away from my kitties. She even went above and beyond by offering to bring in my mail and cleaning up a mess one of my cats made. I would recommend her services to anyone!”

“Angela is absolutely wonderful with my furry kids. She takes great care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats, all of whom have their own personalities and quirks. She treats each one with care and makes them feel safe and cared for while I’m gone. It’s great to travel and not worry.”


“Catie is always great! She is fantastic with communication. She is always on time and Sammy looks forward to his walks. I trust her 100% with my little boy and never have to worry.”

About: Most dogs experience separation anxiety when away from their Parents . I am available to care for them in their home, which lessens their anxiety and keeps their daily routines. I deliver loving, peaceful, and safe care and am open to other light tasks such as plant care, mail collection, etc I am available to care for your babies and stick to their daily routines. I understand the importance of routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I respect the owner’s Home as if my own and am glad to assist with other simple tasks such as mail collection, plant watering, trash roll out, etc while you’re away.
“Chasity really went above and beyond for us. She came through in a pinch when we were unable to find anyone on a busy summer weekend. She took great care of our dogs and kept in touch with us throughout the weekend. Will book again!”

“Elise did a great job taking care of my two cats! She is responsive, reliable and made sure both my cats (Who are usually very timid around new people) felt safe and comfortable”

“Sarah was great and the pups loved playing with their new friend! She was prompt with the requested visit times and helped with cleaning up a few messes that they made. I'm not sure who had more fun, Sarah or the mutts!”

“The absolute gold standard for pet care! Finding a sitter who understands the 'quirks' of a French Bulldog can be a challenge, but AJ is the only person we truly trust to care for our 8-year-old Frenchie, Nero. She has been our go-to for years; she is incredibly professional, highly responsive, and always easy to coordinate with. Though leaving him is never easy (because Nero is my soul dog), AJ provides a level of peace of mind that is priceless. She is incredibly diligent with his specific physical needs—carefully ensuring he avoids stairs and jumping to prevent spinal flare-ups—and she follows all medical and feeding instructions to the letter. She has handled medication rounds (as needed) without question. Beyond just the logistics, she loves on him like he’s her own. I always get periodic photo updates, and it’s clear that Nero isn't just staying there; he’s on a mini-vacation of his own. If you need someone who will treat your pup with genuine affection while being 100% reliable, AJ is the one. Nero absolutely adores her, and I can travel without a single worry knowing he is in her hands. She is simply the best; we cannot recommend her enough!”

“Sarah was AMAZING with our 2 year old Rottie mix and our 6 year old pug mix. She sent plenty of pictures and updates and went above and beyond taking care of our boys while my husband and I were away:)”

About: Ever since I was a kid, I've always loved animals. Whenever I could, I've always taken up a job where I can pet sit and take care of animals. I'm always researching about dogs, cats, and other pets to keep my knowledge up to date. I've even taken care of stray and hurt cats, rehoming them. Currently available to take care of any pet at any time 24/7. Need to find your sitter that day? I'm the one to reach out to. I'll follow any instruction that is needed of me from the client. I'll make sure to give your pet plenty of love and all the care that is needed.
“Megan was a thoughtful catsitter. She left me messages about how the cats were reacting, attached cute pictures to the cards and communicated appropriately. I will definitely be rebooking!”

“Makai was AMAZING!! He kept us updated the whole time and sent us the cutest pictures of our two kittens. He was kind enough to bring in some packages that were delivered to our house while we were away. We will definitely book Makai again!!”

About: I have been caring for the pets of friends and family for years, and my family has two dogs! I have cared for pets with a wide variety of temperaments and needs, including one of my own dogs who has a history of reactivity. I am a student-athlete home in Winston for the summer, which allows me the flexibility to build my schedule around pet care needs. I am available most weekdays and weekends and can perform frequent check ins. When caring for pets in your home I prioritize keeping your pets routine consistent and following instruction on feeding, walk routines, medication and anything else as closely as possible!
“Tricia took such wonderful care of my two cats while I was out of town for a week. One of my cats was sick and she did an amazing job keeping up with all of her daily meds. My kitties warmed up to her quickly, even my shy girl. Will absolutely be booking with Tricia again in the future :)”

About: I have pet sit my friend's dogs on occasion and have volunteered at a dog shelter numerous times. I have my own dog who I give medicine to orally, so I am somewhat experienced in giving dogs any oral medicine they may need. I love animals and cannot wait to help out where I'm needed to ensure they get plenty of exercise and affection during the day while their parents are busy making money to keep their pets happy and cared for! I'm currently taking a course over the summer so I would be able to stop by/work any weekday before 12pm (noon) and after 5pm. I also am open to working on weekends if you need someone to watch your fur baby then as well. My pets are incredibly spoiled and I try to do that for any dog or cat I've met. I love showering animals with attention and love (if they are comfortable with it). I enjoy playing with them too and could either bring some toys with me or could use the ones already in the home. I follow a strict schedule so I am quite reliable when it comes to feeding your pet when you want as well as walking or caring for them how you want for as long as you want.
Gum Tree pet parents share their Rover experiences
Catie took care of our cats while we were away to get married. She was great at communicating, while also making me feel relaxed during a stressful time. This was our first time using Rover and I’m so glad our first time was with Catie. Our cats are our babies and we felt like they were safe and happy when she was with them.
