“Rose stayed with our pets while we were gone for 7 days. Everything that we asked of was done and more! I would recommend Rose if you’re looking for someone to care for your pets.”

“Sarah has yet again gone above and beyond for me and my pups. My flight home was cancelled and she had no issues going to make a last minute extra stop to check on my pups! I will continue to use Sarah anytime I need a sitter. She treats my animals like one of her own and I couldn’t ask for more!!”

“Stephanie was AMAZING! She was very proactive in setting up a meet and greet beforehand and asked questions that helped us get to know her. She kept us updated the whole time on how he was and sent photos and pictures to us. She even filmed our pup opening his Christmas gift since we were away for the holiday. Went we came back our house was just as we left it and clean. She even put our recycling and trash at the curb for us. She also left a note and cute little chalkboard for when we got home. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Always love having Pam watch the boys. They are always well taken care of and content in their home environment. Sends plenty of photos and keeps us updated!”

“Crystal was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and Crystal was a perfect match! She not only took great care of Honey but our home too. Honey started new meds a day before we went out of town and Crystal was able to give them to her without any problem. From the pictures we received during her stay, it was clear that Honey was being well taken care of and enjoying Crystal’s company. I highly recommend Crystal!”

“Mia was wonderful! I felt like our dogs were so well cared for while we were away and will definitely request Mia again! Great communication, sent photos of the puppies and even worked around visiting guests. Thank you Mia!!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life. And the last 4 years I have been taking care of 2 Rottweilers basically on my own. I have trained dogs of all sizes and I have the patience for a misbehaving dog. Plus I love dogs to much not to want to spend time with some and take them on walks. Usually after school I have nothing to do. So filling that time in with a little pet sitting would be beneficial for me. And the extra excessive I get wouldn’t be bad at all. I’m good with the basic necessities like feeding, walking, and interacting with the dog. Making sure they are not getting into something they’re not supposed to. Definitely walks because I’m not to happy about cleaning up a dogs waste.
“Cathryn is wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Lucy who is highly energetic. She kept us updated with pictures each day and was accommodating when things popped up. This was our first time using rover after changing dog sitters and I’m so thankful we found her!”

About: With over 12 years of petcare experience and multiple indoor pets myself, I think it's safe to say that I love animals! Situated on a 1 acre property, with a fenced front yard, this could be your pets getaway while you get away! Because I have grooming and training experience, I could be your one stop drop! I am a freelance pet artist, therefore I have plenty of time to have fun and interact with my animals! We enjoy walking in the lovely Baldwin bike trial and playing in the yard! I'm practically available all day any day! I have a fenced front yard and 4 lovely rough coated collies! My dogs are very social and love to play! Fun in the sun during the day and crated at night! For pick ups I currently have a Ruffland intermediate kennel for car rides to keep your dog as safe as possible!
“Bri took AMAZING care of our dog and our house!! Our dog isn’t the easiest to deal with, and she was so patient and sweet with him. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy house/dog sitter!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my boy Bucky while I was away. Jess came by beforehand to meet us. Bucky took to her instantly, and the photos she sent throughout the week showed how happy and loved he was. She took him on beautiful park walks, kept me updated daily, and left my home spotless. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave, highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter.”

About: I love doggies! I always have and always will. I work near my house, so I get to visit home in the afternoons. I walk my fur-baby in the mornings, afternoons and at night. I communicate with clients throughout the day when pets are in my care. I can text photos of your fur-baby during the day to let you know that they just finished a walk. All in all, just know that your fur-baby will be in great hands and will receive great love and attention. I do ask for drop off time 6am to 7am on weekdays, weekends are flexible.

About: With a lifelong love for cats and hands-on experience caring for medium to large dogs, I’ve honed my attentive, personalized pet care skills. I’m the proud parent of a gentle German Shepherd with sensitive gastrointestinal needs, which has given me expertise in managing strict feeding schedules, specialized diets, and monitoring health to keep tummies happy and healthy. What sets me apart is my dedication to tailored care, whether it’s accommodating dietary restrictions or offering gentle companionship for timid or senior pets. I excel at creating calm environments for anxious animals and have a knack for positive reinforcement training, especially with puppies, to build confidence and good habits from the start. Your furry friend will feel right at home with me! As a full-time high school educator (Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 3 PM), my schedule is structured yet flexible, allowing me to dedicate afternoons, evenings, and weekends entirely to pet care. This means I can provide midday check-ins, long walks, or overnight stays without rush, ensuring your furry friends get the attention they deserve. Weekends are all about fun adventures and quality time, while my own German Shepherd keeps me attuned to daily pet rhythms, balancing play, feeding, and cuddles seamlessly into my routine for happy, well-cared-for pets! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize safety by conducting a thorough walkthrough upon arrival to identify and secure any potential hazards, like loose wires, toxic plants, or escape routes. I adhere strictly to your routines and instructions for feeding, medications, and playtime, using positive reinforcement to keep pets calm and happy. To build trust, I provide regular updates with photos and videos via the app and am always transparent about any incidents, no matter how minor. I treat your home with the utmost respect, leaving it cleaner than I found it, and ensure doors/windows are locked for security. I create a stress-free space for the environment by maintaining familiar scents and sounds, using gentle handling for anxious pets, and incorporating enrichment like puzzle toys or cozy naps in their favorite spots. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority!

“Hanna was absolutely great! We are first time rover clients and we were nervous finding somebody. We did the meet and greet a few days before we left. She stayed at the house overnight for 3 nights. Everything went so well. My dogs loved her to death. She was very mindful of keeping the house the way it was when we left. We definitely felt very comfortable having her at the house. I will be reaching out to her again for future trips.”

“We are fortunate to have Heather and Adam sit with our 9 month old, FIG. They do a wonderful job with our challenging adolescent. FIG can be quite a handful but he minds them. Give them a try. You will not be disappointed!”

“Rebooked Madeline for another week long pet sitting, but my plans changed at the last minute, and she was super flexible. Really appreciate her willingness to help me out. Madeline is great with my dogs and they love her!”

Herlong pet parents share their Rover experiences
We needed a sitter for our two dogs at the last minute holiday week, and Raina responded immediately. From the day we met her, you can notice that she loves and cares for animals, our dogs came to her and started to play with her. We are so happy to say that Raina was the best experience as a sitter through Rover. She kept us informed through photos and messages. It was clear that Raina went above and beyond in taking care of our babies. We definitely recommend Raina, as she is very professional and trustworthy. We will absolutely book with her again.

I can’t enough about Tyi. She has been the best dog sitter we have had ever Tyi genuinely cared about the dogs and their welfare. She went above and beyond for our senior dog that has numerous problems due to allergies She did research and best advised on what we can do l. Along with doing it with our permission Tyi was phenomenal in communicating with us, she texted, sent videos and photos. I will be definitely using her again and again

Shelby was an amazing sitter for my 2-large, needy fur babies! She is kind, and made sure my fur babies were comforted throughout all of the fireworks over 4th of July weekend. Shelby left my house clean as if she had not been here at all. While here, Shelby was communicative, with updates on medication, feedings, treats, playing fetch and long walks, as well as how my dogs were doing overall. My dogs loved her and I look forward to having her sit with them again. I highly recommend Shelby for your pet sitting and pet walking needs. She’s awesome! 😊
