Felecia was so awesome! Resun and Roxy absolutely love her I can tell and are very comfortable with her. They even let her bathe them lol. We appreciate her patience during the 2 meet and greets as well for she did not have to do that. She took great care of our home EVEN washed their dog bowls out🫂☺️ We are grateful to know her and be able to travel freely now without worry. Thank you Felecia! See you again soon

Hannah did a wonderful job of caring for my cat while I was out of town. She was very communicative and added lots of pictures. She even cleaned up an area where he had an accident and made sure to clean my kids toys nearby. Highly recommend!

This is my first time using rover and I must say Jordan was awesome ! She by far exceeded my expectations and made me feel so comfortable with leaving my dogs. We have 6 pit bull mixes and three are puppies and she did great with them ! She communicated with me the entire time, sent pictures, and thorough reports each time. I will book Jordan again and again and recommend her to everyone ! If I could I’d give her 10 stars !

Amy was wonderful with our older puppies while we were on vacation. She took extra care of any accidents and made sure they always had exercise and love. We always received updates every visit and you could tell our pups were so happy. Extremely happy and appreciative for her care for our fur babies.

This is our first time using Rover. We wanted someone who was mature and responsible and Jeanne was a great fit. She was prompt and caring from the start. She sent messages and pictures every time and followed the details of our instructions. She was also thoughtful and thorough in how she cared for our kitty. We especially appreciate Jeanne giving time and space for our kitty to warm up to her and make sure she was comfortable with interaction. We recommend Jeane!

About: i’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid and have had lots of dogs that I absolutely adore. I love just being around animals and will always do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable I am currently a college student and I want a job where I have more flexibility. I have a lot of free time and to me would rather spend it with animals over other things. I am very good with lots of different dogs and am very attentive so in your home I will make sure to be respectful of their space and treat them with the upmost care.

Eleanorah was absolutely amazing with ourdog Otto! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about him like he was her own. Otto was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of the entire time. I had total peace of mind knowing he was with her. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience working in animal shelters, dog daycare centers, and boarding facilities. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs. After recently losing my beloved dogs, I realized I wasn't quite ready for another long-term commitment, but I deeply missed having dogs around. Rover has given me the perfect opportunity to open my home and heart to dogs while helping other pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands. I'm a stay-at-home mom, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I also have two cats who grew up with dogs and are comfortable sharing their space, as well as two young children who have been around dogs their entire lives and know how to interact respectfully with them. For the comfort and safety of every pet in my care, I only accept dogs from one household at a time. This allows me to provide individualized attention and create a calm, stress-free environment during their stay. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. My mornings typically begin with feeding pets, potty breaks, walks, or playtime before my family's daily activities start. Because I am home most of the day, pets receive frequent attention, supervision, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. Throughout the day, I can accommodate additional potty breaks, outdoor time in our fenced yard, feeding schedules, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and enrichment. In the evenings, pets are included in our family's relaxed routine, with more playtime, walks, and cuddles before bedtime. For boarding and daycare, dogs are rarely left unattended, and I only accept pets from one household at a time to ensure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I care for every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful, so I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. Dogs have access to our large fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and because I am home throughout the day, they receive consistent attention and companionship. I only care for dogs from one household at a time, which allows me to focus on their individual needs and maintain a low-stress environment. For cats, I ensure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and attention at their comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply having a quiet and reliable caretaker, I respect their personality and routine. I am also comfortable following special instructions, administering medications when needed, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Very attentive to our dogs routines, and looked for ways to go above and beyond, like washing their dog bowls without even being asked. Our dogs loved him. 10/10 would hire him again.

About: I love interacting with animals and especially dogs. I have looked after friends cats and dogs before. For walks I am good with dogs that move at all paces: fast or leisurely. My family's dog is a 14 y.o. mini dachshund and I have loved watching & caring for her at all stages of life. I am looking to walk/care for dogs on the weekends as this is my most available time. I work longer days as a physical therapist throughout the week. I care for my pet personally & others by showing lots of love by giving belly rubs, treats, playing with pets or letting them lounge. I ensure the environment is safe by keeping an eye on pets in the home or in the yard, whether they are playing or taking a potty break.

Kess is just wonderful, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for your pet like her own while you’re away! She is detail oriented and patient. My cat, who is typically quite anxious, warmed up to her right away :) She also sends such lovely, detailed messages and cute photos. Will absolutely continue reaching out to her in the future for help when I’m away!

Joanna was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond to care for my cat. My cat was hiding, and instead of giving up, Joanna patiently spent over 30 minutes searching for her and even stayed past her scheduled time to make sure she was okay. That level of dedication meant so much to me. She kept me updated with adorable pictures, gave my cat lots of love and attention, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It’s obvious that Joanna truly cares about the animals she looks after, not just completing the job. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and will absolutely book her again. I highly recommend Joanna to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and genuinely devoted to their pets.

Racheal was wonderful with Winston. With him being new to the family we haven’t figured out all his behavioral tendencies and I felt pretty good since she works with shelter dogs. She sent lots of updates about his personality, food intake and output 🙂, and a ton of photos, which I loved! We won’t hesitate to reach out to Racheal in the future for drop-in visits for Winston.

I can't recommend Morgan enough! She took amazing care of my 2 dogs while I was away and followed every instruction perfectly. She made sure they got plenty of attention and even played fetch with my golden during every visit, which she absolutely loved. After it rained and the dogs tracked mud through the house, she even went above and beyond by mopping my floors without being asked. It's clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, and takes pride in doing a good job. I felt completely at ease 200 miles away knowing they were in such great hands, and I'll absolutely be booking with her again!

I have in the past had Katelyn care for my cat and dog for weekend trips. I recently had a week-long work training session out of the area. Without hesitation, I booked her to watch over my crew. If you want a pet sitter who you know will take care of your pets, I highly recommend her! She is dependable, and I received regular updates; she was also on time with her visits. But also I knew she treated my crew with the same love and attention as if they were her pets. I knew that when I was away, my crew was in good hands - the best. Highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter.

Rodney has been amazing!! I had to go out of town unexpectedly for an extended period of time and after our first meeting, I knew I’d found someone who would take care of my babies while I was away and I wouldn’t have to worry. He was so communicative and easy to work with and my 3 fluffy kitties were well looked after! As a huge bonus he also helped keep my place clean while I was gone so I didn’t come home to a thick layer of cat hair everywhere (long haired cats are fine aren’t they?). Thank you so much Rodney, you’re the best!!!
