“Amanda was great! She was calm and gentle with my Sadie and made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy in her care. I received multiple photos and notes each day from Amanda, keeping me abreast of what and how Sadie was doing. It was very clear that she understands the needs of dogs and their owners and made the entire Rover experience a wonderful one. I will be using Amanda again!”

About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. From dogs and cats to the everyday responsibilities that come with having a pet, I’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience over the years. With my husband and our two kids ages 8 and 5, we had a cat for 16 years and recently adopted a lab mix. I’m currently a puppy parent, so I understand the patience, attention, exercise, playtime, and love required! I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection. I am available for taking care of a dog in home, dog walks, playtime or cat visits. I am currently a stay-at-home mom and have the flexibility to provide care during the day. This includes walk, playtime and visits for love and attention. I have a fully fenced in back yard which our puppy adores. I am comfortable with using a crate or not, depending on the need of the dog.
“Hunter took great care of my dog Maizie while he was in her care for 2.5 weeks. She is very communicative and provided frequent updates on Maizie. Maizie had a great time and enjoyed playing with her dogs as well! I would use Hunter again for future boarding and I would also recommend Hunter to any one looking for any dog services!”
“Vanessa was great! She treated my girls like they were her own, which is exactly what I was looking for in a sitter. She kept me updated on how they were doing with plenty of pictures. My girls were treated to many walks, plenty of play time, and cuddles. I’m so relieved to have found Vanessa!”
“Nola and Damian were amazing! They took us last minute for my two young high energy pups. Communication was prompt and professional. My boys came home happy and well cared for, and I would happily book with Nola & Damian again!”
“Jhoanna was amazing with Luka. As soon as we dropped him off he quickly settled in and felt at home. Jhoanna texted us frequently with photos and updates so we were assured that he was doing great during our trip. She took him out on frequent walks and ensured that he had his meals as indicated. Will rebook in the future!”

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
