“Allison was amazing! She stayed at our house with our two big dogs over the weekend while we were getting married. We had a lot going on, but she provided updates to ease our minds to know our boys were being cared for. When we got home, our house was cleaner than we left it. She is so great, and we would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kelli was wonderful!! We had her stay with our dog for a few nights when we were on vacation. Kelli came over prior to her stay to meet us and make sure we had all our questions asked. It was clear our dog really liked Kelli and she was always great with communication. We’ll be sure to book her again!!”
“Yasmin was very studious with my puppies. She was not afraid to communicate with me. She did a great job letting me know the dogs were being taken care of. highly recommend her.”
About: I grew up always having cats and being a total cat lady, however after bringing home my first dog ever I realized how much I absolutely love and adore dogs! I have experience with having a dog of my own (sadly he went on to the rainbow bridge), plus caring for my sisters dog who I jokingly say is my part time dog. I also have experience with all the dogs I’ve gotten to meet through Rover. I would love to have a dog of my own again but I don’t have the proper time or space to have one right now, so I’m looking to get my fix by spending time with your dog! I’m currently available any time of day on weekends and anytime after 4:15pm during the week to care for your fur babies since I work until 4pm during the week. Im very attentive to your pets needs and making sure they are comfortable this includes lots of outdoor time with nice walks, and giving them lots of love and attention(not to mention treats!). :) I work until 4pm during the week, and I’m off on weekends. So I’m available anytime on weekends, and anytime after 4:15pm during the week to care for your fur babies! I live in an apartment with 2 cats so any pets that stay with me need to be familiar and friendly with cats. I do have a spare bedroom that I can use for separation purposes however prefer to be familiar and good around cats if I will be watching in my home. If house sitting I will be available to stay after work and will send lots of pictures and updates along the way.
“Our dog is a little nervous and he seemed to do great with Molly staying with him for the weekend! We got periodic photo updates so we could see how he was doing. We’d definitely have Molly stay with him again!”
“Christina was able to come through in a pinch for me and Cora! She was so understanding and accommodating. She made sure to communicate about how she was doing and was extra sensitive to Cora’s extra needs, making sure to get her medication on time! I would definitely have her come stay with Cora again.”
“Cory was awesome. I will definitely book with him again. He was on time and kept in contact with me throughout the house sitting process. I had a bad experience with Rover before and he has certainly renewed my faith about the program. Thanks again Cory!!”
About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs since I could walk, including several Boston terriers, a sweet black lab, and a very lazy Bassett hound. I am experienced in senior care and medication administration as well. I now live with my two cats, Olive and Saltine. They are my literal children and I love them to death. I’m working full-time, but I’m available weekday mornings and evenings as well as full-time on weekends. Let me know what you need and I can try to make it happen! I strive to treat your pets home as if they’re my own. Every pet has their own unique needs. I’m attentive to detail and will follow your instructions to the letter.
About: I am an experienced pet sitter with both personal and professional experience with animals of all species, temperaments, age, and health status. I have multiple years of experience in both emergency and general practice clinics and am thus confident in my ability to handle pets, distribute medication as needed, and recognize and respond to emergencies. Any animal in my care will be treated as my baby! ❤️ As a veterinary student, my schedule offers flexibility due to lunch breaks and large gaps between classes. I would love to share my daily study-break walks with your furry friend or spend the weekend with a study buddy while you’re away. I am unable to have a dog of my own right now and would be absolutely THRILLED to spend time with yours! My priority is always the animal’s safety and comfort. Whether that means showering your pet with lots of love or respecting their personal space, my goal is to provide your pet with a positive experience in my care.
“She did a wonderful job! The pets seemed very well taken care of and it was clear that she took great care of the house as well. She was very communicative and gave regular updates. I'll definitely use her again.”
“Sasha was amazing! She took excellent care of my 3 dogs and my house. My dogs loved her! They didn't seemed stressed at all when I got home after being away 8 nights. A good sign! I will definitely use Sasha again!”
About: I’ve pet sit for family/friends and I work at a kennel. I also own my own pets as well. I’m going to school to be a veterinarian technician. My work schedule changes a lot but I’m more than happy to work pet care in for you and your pet to make you happy! I treat the pets like they are my own and making sure they are getting enough attention and have the necessities they need through out the day.

Nathaniel R.
“Nathan would make a great candidate for a rover pet sitter. Not only has he pet sat for me several times, but I have continuously seen his calm and caring demeanor around all animals we encounter. Whenever he is around my cats, they immediately warm up to him and even let him groom them in ways I have trouble doing myself. I have seen this happen amongst our friend’s pets as well. Even the timid ones eventually warm up to him, as he is truly an animal whisperer. He cares for his own pets in ways that I rarely see others do, going above and beyond to ensure they are healthy, groomed, and cared for. He has watched my cats on several occasions and I always know I am leaving them in good hands. He does more than just check the food water and litter box, he actually plays with them and checks on their wellbeing. I always know my home will be secure and clean, as I left it, when Nathan comes over to check on my animals. He would be my top choice for a pet sitter.”
Sandra D.
“Sandy was amazing! She was on time, was a great communicator sending updates and photos and took great care of our two small dogs. The dogs and house were well cared for.”
Natalie K.
“Natalie is an exceptional pet caregiver. She is reliable, attentive, and truly loves animals. Every time she cares for my pets, they are happy, well-fed, and excited to see her. I highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter. She goes above and beyond to ensure pets are comfortable and cared for with the utmost attention. She even goes as far as sending videos and updates and spends hours playing with the animals.”
Aaliyah F.
“Aaliyah was so sweet and took great care of our dog! She regularly sent updates and photos, and left our home cleaner than it was when she got there. I cannot recommend her enough!!”
