“Rachel was the perfect fit for my cat Ruthie! She connected right away with her. I love the report card details of observations Rachel made as well as the photos or Ruthie I received from her while I was away. I would highly recommend Rachel and Rover in general. What a wonderful service they provide with wonderful caregivers!”

“Jessica is the very best! She takes excellent care of our babies and we’ve even noticed improved behavioral changes since she’s been coming. She’s kind and reliable and everything we want for our pets.”


About: Hi there! I'm Derek, and I've owned my wonderful dog Scout for 5 years. Growing up with both dogs and cats, I've developed a deep love and understanding of our furry friends. I can't wait to provide your pet with the same care and attention that I give my own. Let's make those walks fun and enjoyable for your dog! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. As a full-time consultant working from home, I have the flexibility to provide ample attention to pets throughout the day. I have plenty of time in the early mornings and evenings for walks and playtime, and my Sundays are typically wide open, allowing for extended care and activities. Your pet's well-being will always be a top priority in my schedule. In my home, I ensure pets have a safe and engaging environment. My apartment complex features a rooftop dog park, perfect for regular play and exercise. Additionally, I love taking my dog to various parks in the area and enjoying long walks together. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I adhere to their routines and preferences, providing attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. Your pet's happiness and comfort are always my top priorities.
“Vanessa was wonderful with our 2 frenchies! She sent updates on their bathroom schedule and photos and even cleaned up our puppy's crate and play area! She was very reliable, respectful and responsible!”


About: I have been entrusted with the care of many friends and neighbors pets since I was 10 years old. I have my own cat, Pidge, who I trained to go on walks and do tricks. He’s very friendly and people oriented. I just adopted an Aussie puppy and have been adapting her to the world and keeping her mentally stimulated. I am a detail oriented and thorough sitter. If your pet has special quirks or needs I am more than willing to abide! I can go over their training, take them on a walk and prepare special treats or meals. Anything to ensure my visit is as close to their usual routine as possible. Your pets comfort and care is my top priority. My schedule works perfectly for date nights, concerts, and any special events you may have in the evening during the week. Weekends I’m fully available. If you want your dog to get some socialization I’m also willing to orchestrate a play date with my dog (after an initial meet with you present). I would love to check in on your pet or take your dogs (or cats) for a walk! I work full time so I am available on weekdays in the morning, evening and overnight. Weekends all day. I can visit after work and take them on a walk, feed them, let them out to potty, check their food/water, do some training, etc. I am detail oriented and will make sure I follow the specific routine and guidelines you require for your pet. In my own home I have a daily schedule for my puppy’s training in 10min increments to maximize her training and behavioral development, as well as give her my undivided attention in the hours she’s awake. I wouldn’t hesitate to go above and beyond for your pets as well. I care about the well being and safety of all animals and will make sure every pet in your home is treated with respect.

About: I’ve spent 7+ years caring for pets of all kinds, taking the time to learn each one’s routine, quirks, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to help with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra care. I work a full-time job from 10–5 on weekdays, so I schedule pet care around my work hours. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks, playtime, or visits. When I’m with pets, I give them my full attention and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for, even with my regular work schedule. I provide attentive, patient care whether I’m at your home or mine. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. If pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family, giving plenty of attention, cuddles, and play. I always prioritize their happiness, health, and comfort.
About: Hi! I’m Piper, and I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember! I currently have a dog and a cat, but I also have experience with kittens/puppies, elderly cats/dogs, injured cats, and sick cats. I also have experience with farm animals like goats and chickens-safe to say I love animals, and none are too big or small! At this time, I do not offer boarding as I do not have a proper area for your pet. My apologies! I am available 7 days of the week, and have plenty of time for your pet! I cannot sit overnight, however I can wake up bright and early to let them out, along with staying later at night to keep them company. My hours are 8am-12am, with some breaks in between to check on my own pets/run errands. I am unfortunately unable to offer boarding at this time. On walks, I do not allow off leash time unless you (owner) can provide a safe, fenced yard for your pup to play in. This is for your dogs safety! I follow instructions to a T, so please provide me with any medication/feeding information, as well as your typical daily schedule! This helps me make your pet feel more comfortable and ensures I’m meeting your standards when it comes to caring for them. This is required for full/multi day services.
“Emily is so good with my dogs. One dog wouldn’t come out of the kennel for a couple others but loves Emily :) She helps me out when I’m at work for a long time and it brings so much peace of mind.”

“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! Her care was top notch and I felt so secure leaving my kiddos with her. I genuinely think that one of my cats, Toast was disappointed to see us, and not Jennifer. She gave great updates and photos at every visit and we appreciated her so much! I will absolutely contact Jennifer again for care of our kitties.”

“This was the second time that Rachel took care of my boy while I was away, and this time it was a longer trip! She was wonderful, in playing with him, petting him, & responding promptly to my messages about him. She also threw out a dirty cat water filter for me & checked the auto feeder for me when I had some concerns about it. The other great thing was she sent through some great photos of my little boy.”

About: I care for a mini golden doodle for one year since a puppy now I care for a calico cat that’s one years old thanks.

About: **Cats-only boarding + Dog walking + Drop-ins** Adopted my fur baby over 2 years ago and have been in charge of pet sitting for my friends, since! I know the stress of leaving my pet in others’ care too well, so be prepared for daily proof-of-life pics from me 🤗 I’m also a type a med student, so you best bet my place is cat-proofed and i quadruple check anything that will come in contact with the pets ‼️ Pets will receive personalized attention based on need, but I will have my own cat here as well!! She’s very social and sweet, so she enjoys company. I have a room for your baby to acclimate slowly if need be :) My apartment has a pet elevator and areas to walk dogs, as well. I have a pretty flexible schedule this year, so I will be available at home for most of the weekend and weekday afternoons-evenings. I might skip breakfast if I wake up late, but keeping pet food out is non-negotiable ‼️ I clean litter boxes, groom, brush teeth daily. No cat-toxic plants in environment and all cabinets with household supplies are pet-proofed. Have a cat tree, cat tunnels, and plenty of places for cats to perch and scratch. I use Feliway Multicat calming diffusers to ease introduction between cats. I have experience giving my cat oral medications, training her to use an inhaler as well. My place is kept clean with a cleaning robot and weekly deep cleans.
About: I've had a dog of my own all my life who recently passed, and I've had a bearded dragon, fish, and other animals as well! I've been working with pets for a while now (walking/sitting pretty much everyday) in college and it's one of my favorite jobs I've ever had. I am just starting out on Rover, but I have a High Demand profile on Wag!, with 15+ five star reviews and 13 badges earned through customer satisfaction. I tend to be pretty chill and amicable for new pets, and I work well with seniors and youngsters alike. I just really enjoy meeting new animals and getting to hang out/run around! I'd love to answer any questions you may have for me, I'd even be happy to set up a call to chat face to face if it would make you feel more comfortable! I am on summer break from college right now, so I can make myself available for whatever time you need assistance! I am particularly available for long daytime hours and overnights for those who need a housesitter! I am great at de-stressing pets and am very flexible when working with new challenges. I also am completely able to keep up with pets that like to play and get out and about! I can even bring my own treats if you want!

“Kara is wonderful! She is really flexible with scheduling, responds quickly, and does a great job communicating and sending pictures. She is very accommodating to my puppy’s needs and we will always use her in the future!”

“5 stars as always! I have repeatedly rebooted with Kellie, she is awesome & dependable ! I will definitely rebook, I know my kitties are taken care of when I book with Kellie!”

“Hallie visited Charly exactly when she said she would. I received emails and photos of Charly's food bowls so my mind was at easy. No photos of the puss because Charly is very shy around people she doesn't know, so that was not unexpected. I am very happy how this experience turned out.”

Kansas City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Regan did a wonderful job with the drop in visits. My dog really liked him and my shyest cat came out to see him, which I consider a good sign. Regan also made sure the feral cats had food and water as requested. Sent me photos & quick updates. I would love to hire Regan again when I go out of town.
