“Marie is really great - she has cared for our cat Lucy several times now and is super dependable and communicates very well - Lucy loves when she visits! I would very highly recommend Marie!”

“Robin is the best! Friendly, efficient, and very flexible! She puts up with a lot from my spoiled little girls. But she is always there for them and for me. What a wonderful person! Her care and kindness are greatly appreciated!”

“I can’t say enough about how great this experience was. Rachel is such a wonderful dog care person! I was nervous using rover for the first time but Rachel promptly set up a meet and greet and tolerated me flooding her with care instructions for our beloved Herbie! She showed up early for each visit and spent extra time with Herbie after, going above and beyond, and communicating how well things were going with lots of pictures. I will definitely try to book Rachel if we need a sitter. Outstanding!”

About: I’ve been a dog whisperer since I was a child. I have had dogs (one or two at a time) my whole life. We lost our last dog last year and don’t want the long term commitment of a new dog at this stage in our lives, but would love to take care of other people’s dogs. It is just myself and my husband in our household. I work from home part-time and if there are days that I would be showing property (realtor) I would not schedule a Rover sitting job. Also, I babysit a small child every Wednesday and Thursday. I have a fully fenced yard and no other dogs. I have no problem having dogs stay inside my home. I am happy to go to the client’s home as well.
“Allison did a great job checking on our two cats! She sent us photos and videos every day and my cats seemed very happy with her. She’s very responsive too and very friendly! I highly recommend her if anyone needs someone to check on their cats/dogs :)”

“I'm so grateful for Leah! She's taken such great care of my Tucker boy. Most appreciated Leah"s flexibility when travel plans change. I highly recommend her to care for you fur babies.🥰”


“Megan was amazing!! She did drop in visits for us for the weekend and we were able to go on our trip worry free! She took care of both of our dogs and we would totally hire her again!”

“Josephine was an excellent sitter and went above and beyond for our dog Hazel. Her updates were detailed and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I would feel very comfortable rebooking her in the future, and appreciated the level of care she had. Thanks again, Josephine!”

About: I've had all sorts of pets my entire life, but almost always at least one dog. I spent years volunteering at a pet store in high school. I also have a degree in Biology, focusing on animal behavior and wildlife science. I spent a great year after college volunteering at a dog rescue. I have a very flexible work-from-home job. I have one set meeting everyday, but am almost always available to step out and take care of anything that I need to. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door. I have two dogs with very different personalities; one is happy and playful, the other is older and just likes to relax. They've made me good at meeting different pets' needs. I always try to make them feel happy, safe, and loved!

“Kalee is the best dog walker we’ve ever had. She has stayed the nights when we’ve been out of town and made multiple trips by the house on days we are gone all day. My 2 boys LOVE her and are always super excited to see her, plus she tires them out really well!!! She is excellent!!!!”
“Kat was amazing. She came through for us in a time crunch and was very flexible with our schedule. Blue took to her very quickly. We will absolutely use her again for our future trips. Thank you Kat for everything. We truly appreciate you.”

I am extremely pleased by the excellent service the Lisandra provided in caring for my dog while I was out of town. She went above and beyond expectations with the drop in visits that she provided for my dog Nala. She not only fed her and took her out for potty breaks but also walked her and spent time playing with her during her visits. She was also very punctual and had great communication. She always let me know when she was here to take care of Nala and communicated when she was going to be a few minutes late. She put my mind at ease while I was away knowing that Nala was well taken care of. Thank you Lisandra, I'm so glad to have had you to care for Nala while I was gone.

Allison did an amazing job with my cat Sweetpea. Sweetpea can be a little difficult at times, but she was able to connect with him and keep him happy while I was away. I was always kept up to date on everything going on. Excellent communication during the entire visit!

Julia is the best! I was so worried to use rover initially because I am very protective of my kitties, but now I can enjoy being away without hesitation. She is very attentive and even our most shy cat has warmed up to her. Would highly recommend Julia to anyone!

Thank you Andrea for your attention to detail, great communication, timely check-ins with our pups and taking such good care of them while we were away. We enjoyed the many pictures and updates after each visit and the peace of mind they brought us! If you're available for our next family excursion we would love to book you again!

Lia and Alexzander were so great with our cat Grace. She normally does not like most people but I have lots of photos of them petting her and brushing her, so she obviously became very comfortable with them. They were awesome to do the things we needed done and faithfully communicated and sent us photos. I would very highly recommend them!

Brianna was amazing! She kept me updated every time she dropped in, sent plenty of pictures, and made sure I knew how everything was going while I was away. I really appreciated how reassuring and communicative she was! I’ll definitely be checking if she’s available first the next time I need a sitter.
