“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”
“CK was great with my dog and cat, and very communicative! He was even able to come back and check on the animals later than planned when we were delayed coming home. Would definitely book again!”
“Mariah was wonderful! She came early to give us extra time to go over everything with the dogs. She also sent us pictures of the pups as a check in half way through! 10/10 would recommend 😊”
“I hired Alyssa for overnights to care for three of my dogs.This was my first time working with Rover for my needs so therefore I was nervous going into this however during the meet & greet any worries went away because my gut was telling me that Alyssa was the one.She took great care of them and followed my needs.Sending pictures,videos with texting back and fourth with my daughter won our hearts.We do not get away much but maybe things will change now that we found our person Alyssa.I do highly recommend her, rating her and her compassion with animal's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!”
“Natalie was fabulous! Asked great clarifying questions, took lovely care of my babies, and was a pleasure to just chat with. I highly recommend Natalie and will be using her services again!”
“Jessica is outstanding!!!!! Rocky is always so well taken care of when he’s with Jessica!!! She’s been very accommodating in last-minute situations if she can be and it’s so appreciated!!!! I love being able to be away and never have to worry about my boy! I know, she’s got him.”
“Darra not only does a good job with Bronson, but she also is extremely respectful of our apartment. She cleans without us ever requesting, and it’s so nice to return home to a clean apartment after a trip. Would easily recommend Darra’s services to others.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone who wasn’t family and we were very anxious about it, however, Keilah was amazing. She came over to our house and met Millie before we left to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, she sent updates, pictures, and videos of our pup to reassure us everything was going great. I’m sure Millie will miss her! Cannot recommend enough, we will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Keilah!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 9 years old and can’t imagine life without them. From volunteering at shelters to pet sitting, walking, and fostering, animals have always been a huge part of my world. Now at 28, I bring over 19 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments including seniors and pets who need special care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and house sitting. I’m comfortable administering medications including injections, and I’ve supported pets recovering from illness or surgery. I’ve also helped with basic training and behavior support. As a licensed social worker, I bring an extra level of responsibility, trustworthiness, and calm presence to the pets and families I work with. My schedule is flexible thanks to my part-time work and I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s unique needs and routine. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’d love to be your go-to pet care person. I treat every animal like family because they are. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I take time to get to know each animal’s personality and needs so I can provide personalized care that feels familiar and stress-free. In your home, I make sure your pet stays on their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I keep their environment clean, cozy, and calm, and I always respect your space and preferences. I provide lots of love, attention, and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Kristin was wonderful. She took excellent care of Baxter. They took lots of walks. She went above and beyond. Everything was neat and clean when I got home. She's new to Rover and was perfect. I will definitely use her again.”
“D'Aujanae was great! She took great care of our pets (housesat our dog and cat) and made sure they got all of the attention and care they could need. It turns out our cat got into something just before we left and started getting sick while we were gone - D'Aujanae noticed that she was acting off and gave us lots of details and videos about it and was super helpful as we coordinated getting her to the vet. I would absolutely recommend D'Aujanae to take great care of your pets”
“Alex was once again so great with our pups! He went out of his way to comfort our older dog who gets very anxious during storms and provided great communication. We were able to enjoy our weekend always free of worries.”
“Aidan housesit with our two cats. He was responsive and took great care of them. He sent pictures, kept the house clean, and helped us take out the trash since we came back after trash day. I would recommend him and have him sit with our cats again!”
“Michelle was wonderful, and followed our instructions perfectly while we were away. She gave us updates frequently, which was very appreciated. My girls were comfortable in her care. The fact Michelle is a veterinary technician made me feel even more comfortable leaving my animals in her care. We had an issue with our air conditioning, & she let us know right away and even took steps to help us in that area. She let us know when she would arrive, and when she left as well. I will be booking with her in the future, and you should too :)”
“Olivia G. provided an awesome house-sitting experience for my fur babies! They loved her a lot and she took really great care of them and went above and beyond. She was also very communicative and provided me with lots of updates. We will definitely be booking again with Olivia!”
About: I adore all types of dogs, big or small. Years of experience have taught me that the most important thing is respecting their space and boundaries while making sure they have everything they need. I also believe that it is incredibly important they have an outlet for their energy, so I am willing to play with them for as long as it takes - sometimes fetch has gone on for over an hour. Again, safety is of the utmost importance and I have experience taking care of all sorts of dogs with different temperaments, including some escape artists, who were all safe and sound when their families returned. I'm currently working part-time so I have some incredible flexibility when it comes to taking care of your pups! I'm willing and able to wake up early or stay up late as needed and I can spend plenty of time making sure your pets get all the love and affection they deserve. Your pet's safety is my top priority and while I have experience caring for a variety of animals, including some with serious medical conditions, I believe that their families have the best understanding of what they need. As such, I am happy to work with you to determine the best means of caring for your pet, whether that includes particular leash attachments, the use of indoor gates, external gates. I also have a fenced in backyard for any pets that might end up staying the night.
“Tiffany is absolutely wonderful! My pup loves her. She was so attentive to his needs and accommodations ( he has a splint on right now ). She sent frequent updates and left my house as clean as it was when I left! Highly recommend - I hope to have her dog sit Lewie again in the future!”
“Taylor housesat our 2 dogs for us while we went out of town, and she was AMAZING! She came over and met them before we left, and they instantly loved her! She sent us pictures of them, kept us updated, and was SO good with them! We will definitely use Taylor again in the future!!!”

Lindsey H.
“Lindsey is the ultimate pet lover. From the largest dog to the smallest kitten, there is no pet that Lindsey will not treat like her own. She will get down on the floor and play with them, take them for long walks or snuggle with them for hours. Lindsey is also very careful and mindful of the pets surroundings and owners property, and makes sure that everything is in its place and in working order. If you want your pet to be treated like you would treat them, Lindsey is your person!”

“Came through for me in a tough situation. It was a great relief for me after 2 people cancelled on me the day before I was supposed to leave.”
Collin P.
“Collin is the most responsible, independent, timely, and hard working person I have ever worked with. He is quick thinking and quick acting when an problem occurs. He always goes above and beyond for his jobs. I could not recommend someone enough to look after your furbabies. His calm and respectful nature seems to appeal to every animal we have ever come across. He handles the cats he has cat sit for as well as our friends' reactive dog exceptionally well. I am always impressed by his professionality and his ability to connect with the animals he is paid to sit for as well as the ones he randomly meets in public.”

Hays pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alyssa did a fantastic job watching our dog Thor when we went out of town for an extra long weekend. She showed up on time, excited and prepared for the visit. Sent pictures and updates a few times everyday, which gave us peace of mind. We will be using her again in the future.
Emma has been amazing! We have used her numerous times and will continue to do so! She is prompt, always sends updates and is amazing with sending pictures! I have zero anxiety being out of town when Emma is around (which is hard when you love your pets so much!) highly recommend her services!!
Kwame was great! He was communicative and friendly! He takes his responsibilities seriously, which was evident in the questions he asked, and how he made sure we were on the same page about the window of time he would take our dog on a walk. He kept us updated and took great care of our dog. Thank you so much Kwame, we'll definitely reach out again when we go out of town.

We’re so thankful to Tricia for taking such great care of our boys while we were away. She kept us updated with sweet photos and messages that really showed how much attention and love she was giving them. When we got home, they were relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoyed their time with her—especially Sebastian, who took his role as “office assistant” very seriously by hanging out on her desk while she worked! It means so much to know they were not just looked after, but truly enjoyed themselves. The house was spotless when we returned, and everything felt just right. Tricia is thoughtful, reliable, and clearly has a real connection with animals. We’d absolutely trust her again!
Ashley did a fantastic job watching our dog while we were out of town. She was very communicative and provided lots of pictures and updates. She took him on lots of walks and did a great job following his routine. She was also an excellent houseguest and took the time to clean surfaces and do a quick vacuum/sweep before she left which was much appreciated. We will definitely book her again!
Cora stayed with our two dogs over a holiday and was wonderful! She was very responsive and flexible and we came back to happy dogs! Our dogs are both large and high energy and Cora did a wonderful job making sure they had the exercise they needed. Will definitely try to rebook with her in the future!!!
