“Carrie was so great with my two dogs Benny and Snow! My dog Snow is a little anxious and can seem scary but Carrie was so open and calm that Snow loved her immediately. Carrie asked lots of great questions when prepping to do drop-in's for us and also sent me lots of pics when she was here. She's great at communicating! Thanks Carrie!!!”

5. Rilea W.
“Rilea is so awesome!! The person who typically takes care of our doggie wasn’t available so I selected her on Rover and hit the jackpot! Our dog is a bit crazy and high maintenance, but Rilea had no issues dealing with her. She was very reliable, highly communicative, and right on time for each visit. I will definitely book her again!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl for family members, friends, and neighbors. I always had a place in my heart for animals. Im never really busy during the weekend except every other Sundays I have church, but weekdays it’s always good. I’ll try my best to make it work I have a big back yard, but not fenced off yet but don’t worry I will keep it on a collar for to use the bathroom if needed. I also have three fur babies to keep it company inside. I’ll also give it treats, feed, water, and bath if you want. I also give he/she on walks and give he/she a lot love/cuddles too.

15. Angelina R.
About: I have owned dogs since I was 4. I have handled every size from chihuahuas to Great Danes. I am able to work with senior dogs as well as puppies. Given the opportunity to care for your furry friend, I am confident a great bond will form! I have open availability as long as I am given proper notice. I myself have 2 dogs who I take care of and need to ensure that someone will be with them if I am needed for house-sitting. Other than that I am freely available for services! I do not offer boarding within my home, however, I do know how to work most house alarms if needed for house-sitting. I also know how to work prong collars if you use one for your pet.
16. Haley R.
“Haley was fantastic! It was so comforting to know that I didn’t have to worry about Mingo while I was traveling. He was in excellent hands with Haley, who gave detailed reports after each visit. I highly recommend that you book her to take care of your pets!”
17. Zasha W.
“Zasha has been a pleasure with helping care for my pups, cats, and fish for around 8 years or more. She treats them as if they were her how, having so much compassion & care. One of my dogs has allergies in which she stepped in making sure they had necessary medication and/or emergency help. She is timely with arrival & scheduling, playful with the pups to ensure their play/stim time is met, kind and caring making sure they get cuddles and rubs, and has overall love for them. Highly recommend.”
18. Rana W.
“My dog can barely contain his excitement when we pull up to Rana's house. Rana is an amazing pet sitter! She even attempted to give my dog a bath after he got muddy and he HATES baths. I highly recommend Rana!!”
19. Shakeitha P.
“Shakeitha is wonderful! She is everything you’d want in a host. Responded quickly to messages, flexible, and she sent adorable pictures/updates of Millie. I will definitely use shakeitha again.”
20. Stephanie M.
About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for puppies, kittens, senior dogs and cats. Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to my 15 year old Boxer, Maggie, last year and now I'm missing doggies in my life. We found Maggie's favorite sitter through Rover and now I want to be that sitter for others. I understand how stressful it can be to find a sitter for your pet who will care for them as much as you do. I have gained some experience caring for other pets and have also been on the receiving end, so there are certain things I like to do to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and safe. I love the outdoors and was taught to respect nature from an early age. I see all living beings equally important and always look to love and respect pets as they are rather than change them. I'd love to have some furry company in my home and hope to provide the best care for your pet! I'm a freelancer and work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I like to be outside and go on walks or play fetch. I own a cat who grew up with dogs so she's comfortable with them. I also always go out with them when they go potty.
