“Our family loves Sallie K. She has taken care of different combinations of our little menagerie of three pets on three or four occasions. Our snarly chihuahua and our two cats love her. We never have to worry if the fur-kids are being well cared for. Always clean house, clean litter boxes, fresh water, food and treats, and delightful pictures of the kids.”

“Tara did a great job checking in on my cat, Charlie. She showed up when she said she would, provided summaries of her visits, and included several pictures with every visit. She also mixed my cat’s medicine in with his food as instructed and left all the containers rinsed and stacked neatly in the sink. I would definitely book with her again in the future.”

“Kristen is always very professional and reliable. I have a 110 pound male pup who is unsure of most people when he first meets them. She knew just how to respond to him and now he loves her! My other pup is a fence jumper and she always makes sure she is on her cable. Kristen is quick to respond and always sends pictures and uses Rover Cards. She is extremely polite.”


“Rachael was great. She was on-time, loving to my Annie and easy to work with. I will certainly use her as a cat sitter again and recommend her to others.”

“Sam is the best! She cares for our three kitties as though they are her own. Our girls aren't the easiest, they come with lots of instructions and they each have their own distinct personalities and Sam loves each of them just the way they are and does such a good job every time we book her. Thank you!”

“Asher was phenominal with our pets. She has been the only one where our animals did not act up. She treated them with love and care. When we were delayed she went out of her way to check in on them one more time. I would recommend Asher to any one who is looking for someone to watch their pets.”

“Mariah did a phenomenal job taking care of our three pets. She went beyond our expectations and our pets loved her. My wife and I were very satisfied with her updates and her general care for our pets and would highly recommend her and request for her services again if needed.”

“Lauren took care of our 2 cats, Elwood and Asha, while we were away for Thanksgiving. She did a wonderful job! She checked in and out every visit and sent pictures so we could see how they were doing. Lauren followed through on everything the cats needed and when we returned they were relaxed and happy cats!”

“Ciera was a lifesaver today!! We had a sitter cancel last minute and needed someone to drop in on our baby so he wasn’t alone for 12+ hours. Definitely recommend!”

“This was my first time using Rover, and Lauran made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated daily with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond when any issues came up. I would absolutely book with her again!”

“Didn't even think to ask for pictures but she took multiple good ones which is always good for reassurance. It was my first time using her and rover but will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: LGBTQ+ and all inclusive! I’ve been around and caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets taught me early on how to understand their behavior, respect their space, and build trust with them. I’ve always felt a natural connection with animals, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their personalities. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, whether they’re full of energy, a little shy, or somewhere in between. I’ve also handled daily care routines like feeding, potty breaks, administering oral medications, and basic grooming. Whether your dog wants to play, explore, or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for the whole time. My goal is simple: happy dogs, wagging tails, and peace of mind for you. I work part-time early mornings (1 AM – 5 AM, Monday through Friday), so my main availability is typically from 2 PM to 1 AM. I’m a great fit for afternoon, evening, and late-night care. I can also do early morning visits right after my shift if needed. I keep a consistent schedule and do my best to stay flexible to fit you and your pet’s needs! I take a lot of pride in caring for my own pets and making sure they’re always happy, healthy, and comfortable. I stay consistent with feeding, playtime, and giving them attention, while also paying close attention to their behavior and needs. I treat every animal with patience and care, and I bring that same mindset into how I care for others’ pets.
“Eleanor always takes the best care of our cat while we are away! I always used to stress about who was taking care of him while I was gone and constantly worried about how he was doing. While she has been our pet sitter for the last couple vacations all my worries have been gone! She takes the best care of him and I could not recommend her more!”

“Bayley did a great job with all 3 of our dogs! She came over in the morning for breakfast; as we needed help because our reg dog-sitter's schedule changed. She jumped right in and was very flexible! Def will use Bayley again!!”

About: Growing up, outside of school I spent a good portion of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter and actively challenging kids around me to help provide care to pets in most need. Over the years, these experiences have translated into a unique skill set of tricks and techniques to provide your pet with the utmost attention and care they deserve. My goal is to offer any pet (cat, dog, any other small animal) under my supervision unparalleled quality of care and a loving home environment. My home is on a 4 Acre plot of land with a fenced yard. The fenced yard allows for free play at least once every 1-2 hours with my supervision. When on leash we can explore the other unfenced portion of the yard or neighborhood. Inside my home my wife and I have partitioned pet safe areas where they can freely roam. I have tons of toys for all sizes and want their stay to be a vacation for them. :) I have two small corgis that are extremely friendly and love to play with new friends. If bringing your animal to my residence is not convenient, I offer a pick up and drop off service for a round trip fee. My goal is to simplify your pet care needs, by providing unparalleled quality care, a loving home environment, and peace of mind that your family member is being taken care of by a loving family I work at home as a front-end software developer, my work schedule is flexible meaning I can provide as much attention as your pet deserves I have a climate controlled room that has doggy doors that allows them to free roam inside and in the yard (with supervision). Most services needed or requested can be accommodated. Pets are allowed to roam inside my home or in my yard with my supervision. I take dogs on at least 3 walks a day if weather permits. I can accommodate most requests I currently work a part-time job from home that allows for a ton of flexibility. That being said I have a ton of time to play with your pups and give them the attention and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible and I seek to make things as convenient as possible for you I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs that are always looking to make new friends. When boarding I make sure to keep a close eye on any pet in my supervision. I have spare crates, bowls, blankets, and a mountain of toys to play with. In the summertime I have dog pools, misting stations, and climate controlled spaces for them to take breaks from playing
“We’ve used Ashlea for our high energy puppy as well as our 2 cats and she did a great job! Even when the puppy has some excitement pee problems, no issues 😅 she’s very communicative, punctual, and even helped us out for extra house care duties because of an emergency. Completely dependable :)”

Hawthorne pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rene took such great care of our 16-week-old puppy, Josh, while we went to dinner. She immediately made us feel comfortable and was so knowledgeable, trustworthy, patient, and wonderful with him. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about dogs. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We feel so lucky to have found her and are already looking forward to booking with her again the next time we’re visiting Nantucket!

I liked Asher when I met her immediately! She was so positive and had a bright energy! She had a great connection with my kitten almost immediately. He came right up to her, and all the other cats were comfortable, which says a lot! She took plenty of pictures, was on time with her appointments which we scheduled, was communicative, and especially played with the kitten while I was out of town! I have already booked her two additional times!

Breanna was absolutely wonderful with Cooper. She sent great pictures throughout the stay — Cooper looked happy, relaxed, and clearly loved spending time with her. She was always on time for walks and kept me updated without me ever needing to ask. Scheduling with her was easy and stress‑free, and she spent real quality time with Cooper, not just quick check‑ins. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Breanna for anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

Very professional very kind and went above a beyond for Athena. It’s nice to be able to work and know that my beautiful dog is taken care of halfway through the workday. It’s good for her and good for me. Mentally I’m able to focus on work with peace of mind. Her communication is fantastic and she is really good with Athena my German Shepherd.

Ava was absolutely incredible caring for our two dogs! From the moment I met her, it was clear how responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. One of our dogs requires medication, and Ava handled everything flawlessly—she was consistent, careful, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Ava kept us updated with messages and photos. Both dogs were happy, calm, and clearly well cared for when we returned. Ava went above and beyond and I’m so grateful we found her.

This was my first time using Rover, and Lauran made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated daily with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond when any issues came up. I would absolutely book with her again!

Katelyn was very thorough in making sure she was prepared to sit Gusty and knew all of his needs ahead of time. She made the process incredibly easy for me and was very communicative and demonstrated that she genuinely cared about Gusty. I would gladly rebook in the future.

Lauren is amazing!!! We needed a sitter last minute and she was a champ! She is very flexible. She got snowed in at our house and then came back an extra day when our flight was delayed. She sent pictures of our dogs lounging on her lap and looking very safe and cozy! This is the second time we’ve used Lauren and would highly recommend her!

Adeline was absolutely superb!! She watched my 3 cats while I was away getting married and I had absolutely 0 worries while they were in her care. She would send updates/pics daily and let me know of any issues right away and was even able to do medications for one of my fussy guys; would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!
