“Margaret took great care of my two cats while we were away. She took the time to get to know my cats and was attentive to their needs, which I was appreciative of and I’m sure my cats were too!”

“Holland was A B S O L U T E L Y wonderful, this was my first Rover experience, and I couldn't be happier. The photos & reviews she gave were detailed and joyful, I can tell my baby was well cared for and enjoyed her time with Holland. I will definitely be using her services again !”

“Kristen was wonderful! She took great care of our kitty while we were out of the country for about 2 weeks. We will definitely connect with her for any future needs as well.”

“Rachel was a godsend! She was sooo good with my 2 babies (cats) she automatically connected with my male cat, my female is very skittish, but Rachel knew what she needed to, T L C❤️ My plans, if she is still interested in next year, I would love for her to be able to come visit with my cats for a week again”

“Cat is an amazing sitter! She takes great care of my puppy and is very accommodating with her times. She is reliable and best buds with my little puppy girl. A must book if you’re looking for somebody to treat your dog like you would!”

“Hollie was wonderful with our two pups! One is a little more shy, but she still won her over and approached her with so much care. Hollie is highly communicative, responsible, and provided great care. Thank you, Hollie :)”

“Camryn was so great and able to watch Elvis last minute for me ! She was so caring and made sure he was treated just as I would for her drop in. highly recommend , thank you !!”

“Abby is so thoughtful and caring and my cat and I will miss her when we move. She is a great sitter who goes above and beyond (she even brought in my packages and threw out the trash).”
“Nick’s care and communication have been absolutely phenomenal, and I truly appreciated it. I could tell Sebastian felt well loved and cared for through the pictures that he sent during my time away! This was my first time using Rover, and I'm sold. I'll definitely keep Nick in mind as I travel frequently, and we've had some family shifts so care is not always as readily available.”

“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”

“Elle always does such an amazing job with our 2 cats! We just got back from a trip that was over a week, and getting the pictures every day from Elle after her visit made us feel confident that the kitties were well taken care of! It’s so nice to be able to leave town and know Elle is visiting!”

“Maria was amazing with my 17 year old cat. He has been sick lately and did a wonderful job of keeping him comfortable and giving daily meds. I already have her booked again. Thank you Maria for taking such great care of my furbaby. ?”

About: I grew up with dogs of all breeds and sizes - I've never met a dog I don't like! I watched my mom train guide dog puppies from age 12-18 and am super familiar with best socialization practices for young pups as a result! I've also cared for elderly dogs, and can guarantee that I'll be reliable and dedicated, no matter your pet's age! I am a cat parent myself, so am comfortable with all things feline care as well! I work from home Monday, Tuesday, and Fridays, with a lot of flexibility on those days, as well as the weekends. I would love an excuse to get out of the house/take a walk/play with your animals during my breaks! Ideally, I'd like to set up a routine, so any recurring appointments are welcome. That said, I also love getting to know new pets, so I'm happy to work out whatever works best for you! Unless told otherwise, I will follow the animal's lead in terms of becoming familiar/comfortable with one another. I understand that different animals have different needs. My own experience has taught me that letting the animal come to you is the least threatening way to create a bond/relationship, so that tends to be my default approach but I am happy to take instruction from you if your pet has their own preferences!
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! I got my first chocolate lab when I was just 2 years old, and since then I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—including a bunny, a bearded dragon, and plenty of farm animals like chickens, cows, goats, and horses. These days, I’m a proud dog parent to two sweet pups I’ve raised since they were tiny, and now at 8 and 11 years old they’re still my best buddies. Having cared for dogs from puppy energy to senior snuggles, I understand the different needs pets have at every stage of life. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just lots of love and attention, I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work a part-time job on weekend evenings/nights, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my schedule. Whether it’s during the day, weekday evenings, or overnight care, I’m able to make sure your pets get the time, love, and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I know how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your furry family members in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. From making sure they’re comfortable and secure to sticking with their normal routines, I create a safe and stress-free environment for every pet. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own.

“Lindsey was great to work with. She was very communicative throughout the day and let me know when she arrived and left. Then she followed up with pictures from her visits. I knew Morty was in good hands and will definitely use Lindsey again.”

“Riley did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away! She provided detailed report cards and lots of pictures every day. I could tell she cares about the work she is doing and would recommend her for anyone’s pet sitting needs!”

About: From pint-sized 5lb Yorkies with fabulous hair to giant 130lb Goldens with a fluffy tail. I’ve loved and cared for them all! I adapt to every pup’s vibe: ready to hit the trail for a run, wander the park for a sniff-filled stroll, or curl up under a cozy blanket for cuddle time. As a true outdoors lover, I’m happiest when tails are wagging, noses are twitching, and pups feel safe, loved, and spoiled. Pet care is part of my everyday life! I work from home MWF and off on the weekends , so your dog will have company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My husband and I are active and love going on walks, exploring parks, and enjoying outdoor adventures. Perfect opportunities for your pup to join in on the fun. Whether it’s morning playtime, mid-day potty breaks, or evening strolls, we make sure pets are engaged, exercised, and happy. Of course, we also love cozy downtime, so there’s always space for blanket cuddles and belly rubs. Your dog will be treated like part of our family, with a balance of activity, companionship, and comfort. In your home, we stick to all your guidelines and expectations, making sure everything stays secure and exactly as we found it. At our house, we ask that pups are potty trained since we have carpet upstairs, but don’t worry, I work from home, so your dog can enjoy frequent trips to our fenced backyard for playtime, potty breaks, or fresh-air fun. Whether at your home or ours, your pup will get lots of love, attention, and wag-worthy adventures!
“Ashley was amazing!! She sent lots of cute pics of the kitties and sent a nice note of everything she did while she was there!! Will definitely book with her next time!”

Hillside Court pet parents share their Rover experiences
We love Rachel!! We’ve asked her to babysit several times now and it’s always a relief when she’s available. She takes the time to get our very shy kitties to warm up to her and was getting cuddles by the second visit. Knowing that we’d get feedback on how the cats were doing and that we’d get lots of (very cute and very good) pictures made it a little easier to leave—we knew they were in excellent hands. Thanks Rachel! 💛

Brenna did an amazing job of checking in on my cat T. Rex while I was out of town! She was a great communicator and super flexible with my traveling times. I would 100% recommend her to other pet owners and am sure I will reach back out next time I need a drop-in again!!

AJ did a great job caring for our older resident dog and our 3 month old foster puppy. AJ covered feeding both dogs, lots of visits and play-time inside and outside in the yard for the puppy, regular walks for our Janie, and lots of extra care and affection!
