“Katie is excellent! She clearly cares about animals and is very knowledgeable about their care. She even alerted me to suspicious activity in my neighborhood, cleaned up an accident, and made sure to check on all 4 of my kitties, including the boy who constantly hides and runs from people. I appreciate her help so much and would recommend her to anyone!!!! Thank you Katie for caring for my babies as if they were yours!!!”
“Excellent service. She even did more than what we asked her for like walks, and taking care of our other pet, she even printed a photo collage and put it in our fridge with a magnet.”
“Mandy was so great! We loved the pic updates. It was our first time using rover and the updates gave us reassurance that our fur babies were in good hands and being taken care of. We were so grateful tht she was able to extend our booking and allow us to enjoy a couple more days on a much needed vacation ! Would def recommend and rebook in the future. Thanks again Mandy !”
“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.
“Meghan was the absolute best. She communicated well and we felt our cats were in the best hands. Our own cat needs medicine twice daily and she was able to give that to him with no issues. We loved all the visit pictures and updates!!”
“Most excellent sitter. Engaging and involved! She was very communicative, punctual, and respectful. Our doggo’s loved her. I never worried about them while we were gone. We’ll be using her again.”
“Mandy was so helpful and took great care of our pup over the holiday weekend. She was an excellent communicator and knew how to handle our nervous girl well. We will be booking again with Mandy”
“Alaina was so great to work with! She was always on time with her drop ins, took great care of the critters, and provided great updated (including some INCREDIBLE photos which made me smile every time)”
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. Growing up I had many different types of animals and we also took care of a cat colony. I've dog sat and walked dogs for a few years and have a lot of experience with many different breeds and sizes. I'm also a huge cat lover so those toe beans will be taken care of! I have a lot of time to do pet care as I do it as my primary work and especially because it's my passion. I am very flexible I do not do services in my own home. However I am very routine oriented so whatever routine I need to follow I do exactly. Of course play time and possible training is always part of my care.
“Lindsey and Jose were amazing! I can't thank them enough for the way they took extra special care of our dogs. Their patience, communication, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond were impressive. We are so grateful and appreciative of them. Being away from my dogs caused me anxiety; Lindsey absolutely took the time to make me feel at ease and provided a ton of updates and pictures. We are excited to have people we can trust with our dogs moving forward and look forward to booking them again....thanks Lindsey and Jose!!!”
“Rachel took great care of our 2 kitties! She played with the friendly one and found the shy one hiding! She even went the extra mile and untangled one of our cat's favorite toys that was horribly knotted. Would recommend her for your cats too!”
“Therisa did a great job taking care of Draeger for me. My booking was very last minute and sge was sweet enough to accommodate us and even came by the night before to meet him before the visit. He took to her right away and you can tell she loves animals. I highly recommend her.”
“Maria is literally THE BEST. My pets adore her and she does an amazing job taking care of them, playing with them, and is an all around super dependable person.”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Carine and I’m super excited to help you with your pet! I’m currently a recent UGA graduate and I love spending time with animals! I’ve personally trained my own puppy to know all the basic commands and pass the STAR puppy test and she is currently working on becoming a therapy dog. I also have one cat that I love dearly. I’ve been handling dogs and cats my whole life and love working with them! I’m super used to working with all types of dogs and promise that by the end of their walk or my care they will be happy and ready for a nap:) I currently run a small business from out of my home so I’m flexible all day! Let me take care of your babies and work around your schedule :) I have a dog/cat friendly environment at home always treat my animals like the queens or king that they are! Your fur baby will leave being happy and healthy
About: I have been around animals all my life and known from a young age I wanted to work with them. Today, I'm enrolled in a veterinary degree, train dogs, and volunteer for my local Animal Welfare. I have a full-time overnight job, so my schedule is very flexible! Just like my rates! I will work with anyone on any budget. If you're sure you want me to care for your fur baby, just message me, regardless of the price you see. With over 13 years of pet care experience (half in dog training), I have plenty of extra dog items. I love puppies as much as seniors, so I'm prepared for every age. I also accept special needs.
“I was really impressed with everything about how Mia took care of my pets. I booked several drop-ins for a weekend for one cat and one dog. Scheduling with her was a dream! This was really helpful because the trip was last minute. While she visited with the pets, she made sure to leave lots of notes and photos through the app which made me feel reassured that everything was fine. There were no accidents while I was gone and I came home to a house in perfect condition - nothing was torn up and both pets had full food and water. It can be really scary giving someone access to your home and pets. Mia made this process feel safe and took incredible care of my pets. I would highly recommend her as a sitter and intend on re-booking for future trips.”
About: I have been a Vet tech since 2013. I have a very friendly English bulldog Mabeline and a Belgian malinois named Greta. My 3 yr old son named Jackson loves all the dogs he gets to meet. Every-time I bring home a sick/foster pet, my human and fur child are so excited so I figure it would be a great way for them to have some play time but also fun for me because I get to enjoy all the different personalities and breeds. As a veterinary technician, I have experience with all ages and am comfortable administering medications in any form along with knowing symptoms and signs to be aware of. Your pet will be in good hands when they come stay with me. I hope you give us a chance! O recently decided to stay home full time with my kids but still have that skill and knowledge to provide the care your pets need. I have a big fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play. I have a crate if needed for your pet so they have a safe space to get away if they want. My dog is always willing to share her bed and your pet can sleep and relax wherever they feel comfortable.

She is extremely passionate about animals and people.”

Therisa is amazing! She took such great care of my babies and gave me a huge sense of relief when I was worried about my shy cat. Am totally going to hire her while I live in Jacksonville. She was so easy to find and is incredibly trust worthy! Hire her!!! 10 out of 10
Shana has been our Rover caretaker since 2019. We continue to seek her services anytime we leave because she is reliable, trustworthy, an excellent communicator, and because she understands our cats and their needs. It’s such a wonderful peace of mind to know our babies are safe and well-cared for when Shana is looking after them!!
Hampton is so wonderful! My (normally shy) cat trusts him and is totally comfortable with him which is such a treat and a testament to Hampton’s gentleness. Hampton is always so communicative and lovely and provides the best updates. He even goes so far as to tidy up litter box and take out trash, which I so appreciate! I will continue booking him as long as he’s able to!
