About: I have experience with all different dog breeds and sizes. I know great helpful training techniques. Also, I grew up living with dogs up until now. I have a full time Hybrid job. I work from home 3 days a week and the workload has been fairly light. I currently live with no furry friends and am missing the connection with them. I want to hold off on adopting right now so I thought the best way to fulfill my wants of having a dog will be through this app. I have no fenced in yard or much of a yard at all. My home is spacious though, so there is enough room for your pet to be comfortable and play indoors. I have 3 reptiles that will stay in their tanks and do not cause disruptions. They also love watching other animals from afar.
“I’m very particular about who takes care of my girls. Bradlei was so sweet to them and left them a little gift bag for their first visit! Will definitely have her again!”

“We felt so good knowing Olive was in Art's hands while we were away. His friendliness and knowledge made Olive feel comfortable while we were gone. Art kept in touch with us and sent us pictures after having some great play time. We will definitely use Art again.”

About: Hi there! My name is Jenna and I’m so happy that you’re considering me to take care of your precious pets! I’m a Veterinary Technician by trade so my animal knowledge runs deep. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12 years old and I’ve been in the animal medicine field for five years. I have a deep passion for animals large, scaly, and small! When I’m not working you can find me hiking with my two Borzoi girls, running, and reading a good book. I’m confident that I can provide TLC to pets of any species and age. I’m also comfortable administering medication as well as working with special needs pets. I do have a full time job but I am remote so pet sitting falls right into place. Please let me know what you’re looking for and I would be glad to work on a schedule for your pet. In my home and outside of my home, pets are treated like my own. I like to cater to an individual’s needs. Every animal is unique and requires a different adjustment period and level of attention. You let me know what your baby needs and I will be happy to provide it!
“Nicole is a gentle and kind care giver who help our family by talking care of our beloved dog, Maggie while we were out of town for a memorial service. Normally, we take Maggie with us when we travel but this time it was not possible. Our daughter recommended we use Rover to find a sitter for Maggie and that's how we found Nicole. We arranged for Nicole to drop in during the day periodically to ensure Maggie was taken care of. Nicole was always on schedule and sent us photos of Maggie everyday. Nicole's daily reports gave us peace of mind and comfort knowing Maggie was doing well. We highly recommend Nicole. You can truly trust Nicole to provide a high level of quality care for your four legged family members when you are away from home. Our sincere thanks to you, Nicole.”


“Marissa was very professional I like the fact that she was qualified to care for dogs because of her work at a pet clinic and college background. She made sure to take notes for the care of my senior dog Ginger. she took pictures and made sure Ginger was comfortable before leaving. I would highly recommend Marissa for anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“Thank you Courtney for taking such good care of our kitty. Communication with you was great and we highly recommend you to anyone looking for a cat sitter. We appreciate the pics sent each day. It was very reassuring, particularly since this was the first time we used Rover. Will definitely contact you in the future if the need arises.”


About: Longtime pet owner and animal lover here! Nice to meet you :) From one pet owner to another, I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet while you are on a trip. That is why I feel so passionate about easing those worries and taking the best care of others pets for them. It is so special to be able to spend time with your fur babies, and to assure you that they will be taken care of so you don’t have any worries! It is my mission to take care of your pets as if they are my own. I always make sure to include lots of play and cuddle time. I include daily walks as well. I especially love to play games with them to tire out those active brains and make things more fun! Hide the treat is a favorite. I am currently in school part time. 3 days out of the week I am gone for about 5 hours. Every other day I would be there most of the day, and never gone for more than a couple hours. During drop in visits I always make sure to spend a few hours with the animals. Playing with them, taking them for walks, and of course giving them all the pets and loving. I know how hard it must be to be away from their family so I make sure that they have the best time while you are away and do not spend too much time alone. Whatever safety measures you require in your home I can make sure to accommodate! I can crate your dog if needed. And I always make sure walks are safe.
