“Cindy is AMAZING! She took such amazing care of my boys, and I will continue to book with her when I go out of town. She is someone who you can trust and my cats warmed up to her very quick!”

“Sharon was great, she came over to take care of our cat while we were away and she went over the top, taking our trash out and washing his food dish. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Sharon!”

“Michael is, as always, an excellent caretaker of our cats and our plants. On this last assignment for us, he was able to add an extra day that we had forgotten to schedule, for which we are extremely grateful. We’re happy to have him as our pet sitter anytime he’s willing to help us, and we highly recommend him to anyone else who needs excellent pet service!”


“Juna continues to take fantastic care of my hound mix! My dog is always happy to see Juna, and I can tell from her consistent communication and her lovely walking/drop-in photos that my dog continues to enjoy Juna's care and company throughout each booking. Juna has proven to be capable and resourceful throughout all of her visits with my dog, and I'm confident she would be the same with yours, too!”


“I had to leave town last minute and I was able to book Jason to drop in for our cat. Dependable, followed directions exactly, very easy and pleasant experience- highly recommend.”

About: Growing up, cats and dogs were always part of my home — they weren't just pets, they were family. That foundation gave me a natural ability to read animal behavior, understand their needs, and make them feel safe and comfortable in any environment. Today I share my home with my toy poodle who I've raised since 2021 and my tabby cat who has been my companion since 2014. This means your pet is coming into an environment that is already pet friendly, calm, and loving — not an unfamiliar space that needs adjusting. As my own boss I have the flexibility to give your pet the time and attention they truly deserve. Just let me know your needs in advance and consider it done — I show up, every time. My home is a safe, loving and structured environment. With a fenced yard, a resident toy poodle for companionship, and a calm indoor space, your pet will feel right at home. I follow your routines closely and crating is always available if that’s what your pet is used to
About: Grew up on a farm with a variety of animals, always had a pet in my life. Understand the nonverbal queues of cats and dogs. I am currently in nursing school through the army therefore I am available most weekends and holidays, possibly weekdays after 6 pm, for special occasions. I can follow the exact routine that you set, less stress for you and less stress on them, respecting their space and I prioritize safety.
“Julianna was great with Amber and very communicative! She updated me daily and made sure to give her lots of treats and playtime. This was my first time using Rover, and I'm so glad we worked with her!”

“Giovanna was amazing!! Drako loved being visited by her, she was very communicative with us and made sure we got pictures and updates on a visit baisis! We felt so happy and comfortable that our dog was being taken care by her! Definitely would recommend her with anyone that needs his/her dog taking care of! We would definitely will be thinking of her if we need someone to take care of our dog! Thanks Giovanna!!”

About: I have significant experience caring for animals, including both dogs and cats. I have previously worked as a pet sitter, where I was responsible for ensuring pets were properly fed, exercised, and well cared for. I also had my own dog for about seven years before he passed away, which gave me long-term, hands-on experience in responsible pet ownership. I genuinely love animals and always make it a priority to ensure that the dogs and cats in my care are healthy, safe, and emotionally supported. I typically have open availability after work on Fridays and throughout the weekends. In addition to my strong caregiving abilities, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet and be present when they want to play or go outside. During the week, I work in the mornings; however, I am available Monday through Friday in the afternoons. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available all day. My older daughter is home during the mornings and will be assisting me with caring for the dogs or cats during that time to ensure they continue receiving attentive and reliable care. Your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise and play. Whenever they would like to go outside, I will gladly take them for a walk, to a nearby park, or allow them to play in the backyard or front yard under my supervision. They are also welcome to relax and move freely around the house. I will always be attentive to their needs and ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
“Jana was my first experience with a rover sitter and I could not be more happy about it! She was really communicative about everything. She made a checklist for everything she needed to do for each visit and was really prepared. She also sent photo updates of my kitties and let me know every time she was with them. Jana also went above and beyond and made the kittens a toy for them to enjoy (so sweet!!) which really shows how much she cared about my kitties [and animals in general!] She took time to play with them and give them attention :) Jana made me feel so much better about having left my cats alone for a few days and I would book her again and I definitely recommend her services!”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I’ve helped care for my family’s dog for the past 11 years, raising him from an energetic puppy to the senior dog he is today. Friends and family members often trust me to watch their pets when they travel, whether that means feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. As an outdoor enthusiast, I love taking dogs on walks and making sure they get the exercise, attention, and enrichment they need. When your pet is with me, you can trust that they will be treated with the same care, attention, and affection that I give my own! I have a very flexible schedule, so I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I am able to adjust to you and your pet’s needs and routines! I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big decision. Safety is always my top priority, whether I’m taking your dog for a walk or stopping by for a visit. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, follow care instructions carefully, and will do my best to ensure they are secure and well cared for at all times, all while having a bit of fun!
“Sabrina was amazing with my cat Lily while I was away for the weekend. She took great care of Lily and spent extra time playing to give her a constructive outlet for that young cat energy. I would definitely book again!”

Kensington dog parents share their Rover experiences
Teffni does such a great job with her drop in visits. I can tell by all the photos she takes that our pups feel very comfortable with her and I have peace of mind that a trusted person is taking care of them and giving them a break while we're away at work for the day. Thank you so much, Teffni!

Natalie is a wonderful and I’d highly recommend her for anyone with a puppy. She’s great with our 3 month old terrier mix. I’m pretty sure our puppy is more excited to see Natalie walk in than she is to see her own family members come home! Natalie’s also easy to communicate and schedule with and is very reliable. Five stars!

Ilana was fantastic.Ilana took excellent care of my dog Duke while I was out of town for three days. She was reliable, professional, and clearly cared about Duke’s well-being. She handled feeding and walking him twice a day, and giving his daily medication without any issues. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Ilana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Kae is literally the person I was hoping to find on here! He is kind, thoughtful, conscientious, communicative, and flexible. He is amazing with the animals and is careful to ask questions if he doesn’t understand something. You can always tell a true animal lover when you meet one! Kay goes above and beyond. I am so happy to have found him and trust him 100% to take good care of our animal crew when I’m away!

Jana was very communicative and friendly while we planned her visit with my dog. She did a great job watching my dog and sent me many updates to let me know things were going and sent pictures so I could see all the fun they were having! Will definitely reach out to her again for help with my dog!

Kelly dropped in to check on our two large senior dogs and did a great job. She was responsive, careful to follow the instructions, and beforehand asked good questions to get to know their routines and needs. The dogs seemed to take to her very quickly too. Thank you!
