“Lauri was so wonderful! I needed someone for a drop in visit last minute and she was able to meet with me and make the visit work and even sent pictures of her visit while I was working. I have a very happy pup!”

“My first time using Rover and I was understandably a little anxious, but Isabella is absolutely wonderful and amazing! She stopped in and took wonderful care of my fur babies, and I know they’re already looking forward to her next visit!!”

“She is a very caring and attentive girl when it comes to taking care of my pet. She took exceptional care of my dog despite his disability. She is a responsible and kind person.”


“We loved our experience with Allie. She went above and beyond for Major and gave us great updates. We look forward to having Allie help us with Major again in the future.”

“So appreciative of Grace and her care for my furbabies while I was away. I loved her check-ins and sweet photos she took of them and knew they were in great hands!!! Highly recommend!!”

“Amelia was great with my two cats, who are usually skittish around people they don’t know. She was able to interact with them and sent really good photo uodates every day.”

“My wife and I decided to take an overnight trip at the last minute. Fortunately Laura was available. She was fantastic. During the meet and great our babies instantly knew she was a dog person. Laura was prompt and communicated with his the entire time we were away. We had no worries at all leaving our pups in Laura’s hands. Will definitely be booking again.”

“Ann was amazing. Her communication gave me peace of mind that all was ok while we were on vacation. Definitely will reach out to Ann for any future dog sitting needs!”


About: I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, whether that’s helping reinforce basic training and potty routines or being extra patient with older dogs and any special care they need. I also bring over 10+ years of babysitting experience, so being patient, attentive, and dependable is second nature to me. That same level of care and responsibility carries over into how I treat your pets. I am currently a graduate student at the University of South Alabama. Other than class, I have a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to accommodate morning, midday, and evening care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions you leave, including medications or special care. I’m respectful of your space and make sure your home stays clean and secure while you’re away. I also spend quality time with your pet. Whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, so they’re not just being “checked on,” but actually cared for.
“Maegan is an excellent sitter. She provided detailed messages on her drop in visits and multiple pics of my pups. She gave them their meds and treats as requested and even gave them back scratches that they loved!!! Hurricane Francine had come through the area during my absence and knocked over a couple of my potted plants on the front porch and back yard and she even picked those up which was way above and beyond. It was so nice knowing my babies were taken care of so well so I didn't worry about them. I highly recommend Maegan and will definitely use her again for my dog service needs.”

About: I wanted to be a veterinarian for about 15 years. Volunteered with vets, worked at animal shelters, and now I frequently walk/pet sit animals in my neighborhood! I’m a medical student, so my schedule can vary week to week but I will never take on a sitting during a time where my schedule prevents giving an animal the best care possible. I have a fenced in yard, but love taking pups for walks when they need it! I’ll make sure your animals get the care they deserve whether it’s at my house or yours!
About: I've had pets my entire life. I have experience with dogs, cats, snakes, lizards and other small animals. I can administer medicine to friendly animals, and cleanliness, kindness and communication are my priorities. I am currently a full-time online graduate student and am therefore usually very flexible. My daily routine involves taking my child to and from school and sports. For in-home boarding, I have a fenced yard and a separate indoor/outdoor space for my own kitties to remain separate from your pet. Small dogs can enjoy hanging with me and/or playing outside during the day. I'm always up for lap cuddles! I prefer to crate the dog during night-time hours, from about 10pm until 6:30am.
“This is my second time booking with Michael. He honestly is the best/most awesome sitter ever. He always takes the upmost care of my boys. And hangs out with them longer/loves on them. He made sure to alert me to my middle baby hiding in the cabinet some so I could take him to the vet and make sure everything was okay. I can't say enough positive honestly!”

“Brenda is my go-to pet sitter and I trust her completely. She has such a kind heart and is incredibly considerate. She’s wonderful with my pet and always makes sure everything is taken care of. Knowing my cat is with Brenda gives me total peace of mind, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”

“Laura was fantastic with my 2 pups. My booking was very last minute (the night before service) and she still made the effort to come do and do a meet and greet the night before. 10/10 will be using her again!”

Jackson Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jordan was an amazing cat sitter and first time experience using Rover! She even came over last minute and checked on one of our babies when we saw him messing with something he shouldn’t be on the cat cam. We have two special needs cats and three cats total and she did a great job spending time with each. Highly recommended.

Devery was really great with my cats while I was on my trip! I'm beyond pleased and immensely grateful for her attention to detail and care of my animals. She checked in with me and provided really meaningful updates everyday. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs their animals cared for!
