“Racheal was amazing! She walked into a couple of unexpected pee spots and graciously cleaned them up for me. She was available last minute and communicated very well!”


“Kris was amazing with our boys! She watched them over the Fourth of July weekend and went above and beyond trying to keep them feeling comfortable while the fireworks were going off. This was our first experience with rover and definitely a great one!! Will be booking with her again next time.”


“It’s like we never left! Alicia followed every detail precisely, was dependable, and very respectful of our house and cats. She figured out all the nuances of each of my three cats’ personalities and needs. She communicated w us through each visit which was so appreciated and eased my stress. It became clear, that her priority was to be of service- not to just get a job done. I really could go on and on. But coming home to calm cats, house intact, n the peace of mind she gave us each day was priceless to us. I can speak from experience of many failed pet sitter experiences, Alicia is the best! We will be a return customer!!!!”



“Angela was great! We had a conversation with a pic every time! Second time using this service and both times were fantastic! Recommend Angela again too!”


“Amazing and so kind”


“After some strike-outs with other pet sitters who only stay for the bare minimum and do the bare minimum, I found Terry on Rover. Perfect match. I spent the holidays worry free for the first time in a long time. Even when there was a small upset, Terry had everything under control. I could fill the page with a range of specifics, but to save time, I had no complaints. The house was in great condition when I returned. My indoor/outdoor cats were actually at home waiting for me. It is a relief to know there is a great pet care professional out there (with professional being the critical point!).”

About: Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat yours. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with both playful puppies and seasoned seniors. As a full-time sitter, your dog will get my full attention with frequent walks, fun adventures, and plenty of love and playtime in my yard. I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and right at home—because when they’re with me, they’re part of the family. As someone who stays home full-time and only works a few days a week, pet care naturally fits into my daily life. I have plenty of time, flexibility, and energy to give each pet personalized attention—whether that means morning walks, medication schedules, playtime in the yard, or just cozy companionship throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone or on a tight schedule—they’ll be part of a calm, loving home where their needs come first. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain your pet’s familiar environment to reduce stress. I stick to their usual schedule, including meals, medications, and playtime, while providing companionship and supervision. Whether at your home or mine, your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities.

“Elena is AMAZING!!! She is so sweet, kind, caring, patient and very accommodating. Our dog, Sydney is very shy and nervous around people, but she quickly warmed up to her. Elena took great care of Sydney. She gave detailed feedback, updates and pictures of Sydney during each visit. I will definitely rebook with Elena again. I highly recommend and trust her! Elena is the BEST!!!”


“Finnley was absolutely wonderful! Was beyond helpful, went above and beyond to help our dogs. I will definitely be rebooking again and will highly recommend to all of my friends”


About: I've taken care of dogs cats horses and fish, I am trustworthy laid back and have a huge heart for animals, this would be a great experience for anyone that considered letting me watch they're pet, Please be aware I'm a new mom and my baby comes first. Going forward all dogs must get along with mine and be good around babies. I am Available 24/7, im something with my pets. I take them on walks to the dog park for pup cups I stick to good diets too. We have a fenced in facility. Leash walking is necessary upon owner request. All pets are treated like royalty. They are welcome on furniture, all females that are boarded must be spayed.

About: I have cared for my own dogs and cats for over 40 years. I have not done this professionally, other than helping out friends and families while on vacation. I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet and home is cared for while you are away. If there are gatherings I am usually the one hanging out with the dogs/cats and keeping them at ease when there are a bunch of people around. I am available early mornings and late afternoons and evenings and most weekends I am available any hours...but I have some flexibility to meet other needs. In our yard I try to train them to stay in the yard. I have done leash yard training but typically let them run around. When had a fence yard I typically left my dogs out as much as possible.

About: I've been working with dogs since I was 9 years old. It started at a summer camp located at my local shelter and at home with our own dogs. At 18 I helped foster 2-week-old kittens that were born in our front yard and abandoned by their mom. I have worked with many different dogs and have been house sitting since I was 16 years old with different types of dogs and different care levels, from needing to give elderly dogs medication to hyper puppies who need lots of play time. I fit in Pet care into my daily routine by waking up at a specific time every morning to take care my own dog out for a morning potty break, then it is breakfast time, then an hour after is a morning walk, after I have lunch is a shorter afternoon walk and before dinner is an evening walk, with several potty breaks scattered reasonably every 3 hours to make sure. Sometimes I take my own dog on small hikes or to the dog park to get some more socialization in. Outside of my hobbies and schooling pet care is my life. This does depend on what I am hired for, if I am hired for potty breaks and play time then I do just that, I arrive at the home, let the dog out to go potty, take a walk play with some toys. If I am housesitting, then I follow the schedule the owners have their dogs on as to not disrupt the dog's stability.

About: Years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes! From playful puppies to wise seniors, I'm comfortable with all ages and temperaments. Your furry friend will get lots of love and attention! I work a full time job but I get up super early sometimes even at 4am!! I can go see your furry friend and play with them before I go to work, on my lunch break ( if you are close to my area ) go see them after work, and before bed!! I will care for your animal in your home by trying to stick to your pet's regular routine for feeding, walks, and playtime . I'll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your home is secure and your pet is safe. I'll clean up any messes and leave you a note about our time together!

“Brittany was very responsive and helped us in a pinch! I loved receiving photos and could tell my doggo enjoyed her as well!”


“Fantastic!”


About: I spent my college years working at kennels for cats and dogs. I’ve also been known to house sit for friends with multiple dogs, cats, bunnies, and chickens. I work part time at Frito Lay. I write full time (and take the occasional class). I travel a lot with work but keep a flexible schedule. I’m mostly interested in Drop In visits but will consider walks if a meet and greet goes well. Please don’t ask for an email or phone number outside Rover.

Brittney D.
“Brittney is one of the most loving and trustworthy people I’ve ever had care for my pets. From the moment she meets them, you can see how naturally she connects with animals — it’s like they instantly feel safe with her. She’s responsible, attentive, and always goes the extra mile to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. Knowing Brittney is with my pets gives me total peace of mind, and I truly wouldn’t trust anyone else the way I trust her.”

Keyara H.
“Keyara has been an incredible caregiver for my dog, Luna, and I can’t say enough about how thankful I am for her. From the moment they met, Luna took to her instantly — which says a lot, since she’s usually shy around new people. Keyara quickly learned Luna’s routine, from her favorite walking paths to how she likes her food prepared, and always made sure she felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She sent regular updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my furry family member!”
