“Cheryl is an excellent cat sitter—dependable, attentive, and clearly a true animal lover. She took great care of our cats, kept us updated, and made the whole experience stress-free. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”

“Marshy was so happy to see Abby! She can be pretty picky and isn’t the easiest to walk, but Abby took perfect care of her. She avoided all of Marshy’s triggers and even walked her longer than expected.”

About: Hi there! I'm Madison, and as you can tell, I love animals! Since practically the beginning of my memory I've been caring for all animals around me. Experiencing nursing a cat to health at such a young age made my care for animals explode into a love I can barely contain. Hopefully I can share it with your pet(s) soon! Caring for pets and animals provides me a sense of purpose and brings me work/life balance. I feel it’s important to connect with people and nature, so I care for pets every day I can in all the hours I can’t work. I have a lot of patience with pets and I don’t let a scratch or bite deter me from a home. Every animal is unique and deserves compassion.
“Sandy was amazing! When I first contacted her, I needed a last minute sitter. I had never used a sitter or Rover before. She responded promptly and offered to do a meet & greet, working with my schedule before I left town. For each check-in, she provided detailed reports and pictures of each of our kitties. She went above and beyond when one of our cats had to be picked up from our nearby vet. I felt so much better on vacation knowing our kitties were in amazing hands. We will absolutely use her services again!”

“I have just had by far my best experience with Rover. I had a last minute trip and Marianne went above and beyond in caring for my kitties. She is amazing. I had absolutely nothing to worry about while I was gone. She didnt cut any corners and gave very thorough updates throughout the time I was gone. When I came home the kitties were stress free too, I could really tell she spent time putting them at ease. I'd give her 10 stars if I could.”

“Stephanie was amazing with my cat Bam Bam while I was away! She was incredibly reliable, friendly, and made sure he got all of his medication on time, which gave me such peace of mind. She took the time to check in, send updates, and make sure he was comfortable. I could tell she genuinely cared about him, and that made all the difference. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Bam Bam!”

“Excellent sitter incredibly caring in detail my dogs loved having her around. Also incredibly flexible after our flight was canceled. She was able to watch them an extra day so thankful to have her.”

“While we were away, Stephanie took care of Max as if he were her own. From the very beginning, she showed responsibility, kindness, and great attention to detail. Max is a very special part of our family, and it was a huge relief knowing he was in such good hands. We received daily updates, photos, and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. Stephanie took care of his walks, feeding, and even kept up with his little routines with so much love and patience. Thank you so much, Stephanie, for taking such great care of him!

“Allison was absolutely wonderful to work with. From the very beginning she was reliable, responsive, and easy to communicate with, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She cared for both of my dogs as if they were her own making sure they were well fed, exercised, and comfortable the entire time. I really appreciated the updates she sent, which showed me they were happy and in good hands. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Allison exceeded my expectations in every way.

About: Loving, Reliable Care for Your Pup — Now With More Time to Give! Hi there! I’ve been on Rover since 2023, and now that I’m semi-retired, I’m excited to dedicate even more of my time to caring for dogs. Spending my days with pups is one of my greatest joys — whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I share my home with my friendly dog, Kyle, who loves meeting new furry friends. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your pup will be treated like family here! Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’m here to help and make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged baby. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’m semi-retired, I have plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to each dog I care for. My day usually includes morning and evening walks, regular playtime, and lots of attention and affection throughout the day. I also build in time for feeding, potty breaks, and any special routines or instructions a pet may have. Because I already care for my own dog, Kyle, I’m used to maintaining a consistent, calm, and pet-friendly environment. Adding another pup into the routine feels seamless — I truly enjoy it, and I make sure each dog gets the care and engagement needed. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and relaxed environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — from feeding times and walks to playtime and rest. My dog, Kyle, is friendly and enjoys having company, so visiting pups always have a companion. I supervise all interactions, provide plenty of affection, and make sure each dog has their own space if they need quiet time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions carefully. I maintain the pet’s familiar routine, whether that involves walks, meals, medications, or special habits. I give them lots of attention, keep their environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. No matter the service, my goal is always the same: to make every pet feel safe, happy, and well-loved. 🐾
About: Throughout my life, I’ve owned many different types of pets, from birds 🦜, to cats 🐱, and dogs 🐶 and to say which ones my favorite would be unfair. I know how to treat each pet differently and uniquely and take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Whether it’s extra playtime, calm companionship, or sticking closely to feeding and walking schedules, I focus on giving pets the care they’re used to — and the attention they deserve. I’m currently working part time at the moment but I’m available for boarding on weekdays right now past 11 AM. I do same-day booking and scheduling ahead of time. I make sure that pets are kept safe, comfortable, and on their usual routine (which I’m happy to learn. I follow all care instructions carefully, maintain a clean and pet-safe environment, and give them plenty of attention and supervision as needed. I also share updates so you always know how your pet is doing. 🐾
“Ted is absolutely amazing!!!! He followed the directions perfectly and sent updates and pictures throughout the day. I was able to focus on my trip and not worry once about my babies. I found my pet sitter soul mate! He is trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated. He exceeded my expectations and I would HIGHLY recommend him for your sitter needs. Like I could not recommend him enough!”

“Shannon was awesome Great communication -it was the first time we have left the dogs like this and I was a little nervous but starting with the first visit she put my mind at ease. Sending pictures and detailed everything the dogs were doing. The lasts day she even had to get creative since one of the dogs found a hole in the fence. She immediately let us know and did her best to block the escape route! Highly recommend Shannon!”

About: Grew up having and loving dogs. After buying our own home with a backyard and space, we welcomed our boy Maverick (cockapoo; 20lbs) who is our whole world. He really deepened my love for dogs to another level. I would love share my affection and love onto other fur pals. Remote work has allowed me flexibility to be present and active with my pup and I can only hope to help others that may not be able to during the days/weeks. 🙏🏽 Working from home has allowed me to have the freedom to take my own pup on walks and help him feel stimulated throughout the day. I can only hope to share the same routines and strategies for other dogs. I’d love to utilize our home to help at any capacity. 💖 Our pup was crate trained since being a pup. After 8 months of building that trust, he is now completely crate free and well trained. He is not aggressive just corrective at times and but all depends on the dog he meets. The love I have for Mav transcends to all dogs I encounter. 🙏🏽. We have a completely fenced yard with plenty of room to run around and play! We also have indoor space to tuck in another crate or bed. I am able to take incremental pee breaks outside in the backyard and walks daily around our safe and very dog-friendly neighborhood. I also have a Furbo pet camera indoors that adds an extra layer of security at any moment.
“Jenni did an amazing job with our kitties while we were out of town! She was prompt and sent great pictures and updates, and I always felt that they were being very well cared of. I will definitely use her again!”

Sharon was wonderful with Rudy! She took such great care of him and made sure he felt comfortable, happy, and loved. I really appreciated the updates and how attentive she was to his needs. Rudy was relaxed and well cared for, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable sitter.

Genesis was an amazing sitter. She loved my kitties like they were her own. Showering them with love, pets, attention, and always kept me updated with lots of photos and videos. She also helped with up-keeping my plants while I was away. I completely recommend her to any cat parent ❤️

I just returned from my trip and I’m hoping I am typing correctly here but I just wanted to say that Ashley was THE PERFECT sitter for my sweet boy cat. I was able to book her at the last minute and she not only came to my rescue but surpassed all my expectations for what one looks for in a cat sitter. She automatically sent me photos & a video, and asked all the right questions to help aid in taking care of Sachi. I couldn’t have been more pleased with her service and I’m hoping to book her in the future. I loved her care & concern to details and to Sachi’s safety. Ashley was awesome.

Tammy was amazing with Foma. She was attentive, patient, and handled his curious, playful personality so well (including his love for treats and getting into everything). She kept a close eye on him, took great pictures, and even brought him toys he loved. We felt completely at ease knowing Foma was in such good hands and would highly recommend her.

Jennifer is AMAZING! I couldn’t be happier with the care my my cat (Lily) received! From the very first visit, it was clear that she truly loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. She gave me so much peace of mind while I was away—sending updates, photos, and little notes that made me feel completely at ease. My cat, Lily, who can be a bit picky with new people, absolutely adored her! It was such a relief knowing she was not only well cared for but genuinely happy. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving cat sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾💛
