“Dave took excellent care of my dog. He asked great questions to get to know her, facilitated all her favorite activities, and provided a detailed report of their time together. I highly recommend booking services with Dave, he is my first choice for pet care!”
“Katherine is a wonderful pet sitter! Very responsible and great with instructions! Katherine stayed at our home and was very respectful of our space, clean, and thoughtful, even remembering to turn on the electric cat bed for my cat before leaving. Would 100% have her back again!!!”
“We had Sky stay at our house for a week while we were out of the country, when we got home both of our dogs were happy and healthy. Our house was in great condition, we got regular updates on our dogs. This was our first time using Rover to have someone housesit for us so I was a bit nervous leaving our apartment and two of the things I love most in this world with someone I had only met for a brief while. Sky did a great job and really set me at ease. 100% would recommend.”
“Jen was perfect with Drake. I was away for 5 days. She took him to the dog park, long walks and even to the beach! His vacation was better than mine! Haha. Definitely looking forward to booking her again! Thanks Jen!”
“Amanda took great care of our dog while we were away for a week. She was responsible, communicative and we would love to work with her again.”
“I highly recommend Emily to care for your dogs. She took wonderful care of my two dogs—one almost 15 yo super-senior, and one lively but somewhat fearful 3 yo. She shared pictures, provided status updates, and left my home tidy and clean after her 3 night stay with them. A warm and professional animal care provider!”
“Maverick was happy and well cared for. Mai did an excellent job caretaking for him. Maverick doesn’t warm up to new well and he liked her at first meet.”
“Kellie was so wonderful with our dog Russell. We were abroad for 2 weeks and she sent us pictures and updated his activities for us to share. He loves her and so do we! She also took great care of the house and we found everything in tip top order. I can not recommend her more highly!! And we will hire her again to watch Russell. Thank you Kellie XXXXOOO”
“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful with my 4 cats and 2 dogs! She is reliable, kind, and I know my fur babies are always in good hands. I can’t recommend her enough! Always worry free”
“Brittany did a great job with Archie and was really flexible with scheduling last minute. She sent me many updates (photos too!) and there was no doubt that Archie was in great hands! We will definitely book Brittany again! Thank you, Brittany!”
“Madison took amazing care of my two dogs and my home for a week. She's reliable, responsible, and I was able to enjoy being away knowing she was home taking care of everything. Absolutely will book again.”
“Katelyn took great care of our pets (dog and 2 cats) and our house when we went away. She came to our house to meet them and us before our trip, sent us photos while we were away, and left our house very clean. We would definitely use her again!”
“Nancy took such great care of our two pups and our house. We were in regular contact with her while we were gone and she sent us several "pupdates" to let us know Sophie and Loki were happy. We'll definitely be rebooking her for future vacations and will recommend her highly to our friends who are looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I have about 10 years of experiences taking care of cats, dogs, and small animals. I have experience bonding/introducing new pets in the home, having taken a boot camp a few years ago and doing it multiple times with rabbits, cats (one success, one not), and a dog/cat combo. I've also leash trained my own dog, parents dog and a friends dog. I can also work on basic commands. Im comfortable brushing teeth, bathing and administering non-needle medicines. The prices on the flyer are for payments off Rover (venmo/zelle/cash app), as Rover takes 20% the prices on here are higher, whichever you're most comfortable with is fine with me! Pet care is currently my only job. Even when I have a part-time job, my schedule is very flexible and open to various appointments each day. I do not let animals off leash when outside unless in a fenced in yard/park. At my own home, I live next to a park and take walks at least 3x a day with your pup.
“Sara took such amazing care of our dog while we were away!! She stayed at our house with Roxy and took care of her for 6 days. Sara sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout the week. She took Roxy on walks, played ball with her in our backyard, gave her lots of love and made sure she was okay during the holiday neighborhood fireworks and in the summer heat. We were so happy with Sara that we already booked her to stay with Roxy for our next vacation in a few weeks!”
“Teddy stayed with Wilkie for a week and took fabulous care of him! They sent daily photos and updates and Wilkie was happy and healthy when I returned. They took great care of my place too. A great pet-sitting experience!”
“Julia was a great sitter for our weekend away. She communicated really well and made sure we knew Atlas was doing well with pics and updates. Would definitely choose her again!”
“Madeleine took great care of our dogs and cat, was super easy to communicate with, and she left our house very clean! We were lucky to get to have Madeleine spend the holidays with our pets. Thanks!”
About: I’ve loved and taken care of dogs since I was 4 years old due to my family experience of breeding multiple liters of Labrador Retrievers I currently work part-time/self employed, while still in school getting my real estate license online. My schedule is flexible and I am always available nearby! I have a strict policy for leashes/harnesses whenever outside (if no fence), crate your fur baby and ensure puppy gates are locked, inside accident clean-ups
About: I have had pets my whole life and love caring for them all. I was a manager at a pet care store for many years. I am part time worker and I am available most afternoons and evenings, any time you might need me for any type of pet you have. I have a quiet dead end street that is great for walks, also a spare room if your pet might need to be crated, or separated.

Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just some quiet companionship, she’s always attentive and gentle. I’ve seen firsthand how happy and relaxed pets are in her care.

19. Abigail H.
“Abby has been loving and caring for animals since she was little, especially dogs. She has gained so much knowledge in raising and looking after dogs from nurturing newborn puppies from our breeding liters, helping with feeding, potty time, walking/outdoor breaks, cleaning/bathing, and play time. She has always been so passionate about all dog types and now has a fur baby of her own. Abby is very gentle and kind, and puts safety first. She works well under stressful situations and knows what to do in case of emergencies. She has been trusted to dog sit for both short and long periods of time for local friends and family, and constantly gets amazing feedback. She would be wonderful at Rover!”
20. Sara K.
“Hi, I’ve known Sara for a long time and she’s always had dogs and cats for pets. I’ve seen her go above and beyond for her furry friends over and over again. She would be a great dog sitter!!”
