“We have used Edmy several times now to check in on our cat while we are out of town. Edmy is extremely reliable and trustworthy and communicative. My cat is pretty low maintenance but they always go above and beyond - checking our feeder, auto litter box, bringing in packages and mail. Would always recommend this Rover!”


“Tracy has been amazing. My dogs warmed right up to him. They have a few accidents, and Tracy cleaned them up very well. He also let me me know so I could make sure the pups weren't getting sick. He is easy to reach and always respectful of my home.”



“Ben is an older dog with a heart problem. I told Linda to use her own opinion to walk or just visit since the weather has been so hot. Since I have 2 dogs she visits Ben so he gets outside and walks Mazy our pup. She makes less money on a visit but she still doesn't wk Ben when its hot. This is a lady that cares about our pets like they are her own. I recommend Linda to any one that needs a caring dog friend”


“Lisa was great with our girls! Lucy required alot of special feeding and medication care which Lisa did well. Lucy is also very skittish with new people and, by day 2 she LOVED Lisa!! Would definitely request her services again and highly recommend!!”


“Hannah was wonderful throughout the whole process, and Bella was so happy and calm when we got home. Hannah was an excellent communicator and sent the sweetest notes and pictures of Bella each time she stopped by. We recommend Hannah to everyone, and we’re looking forward to having her watch Bella again in the future! Thank you, Hannah!!”


“Jennifer is a favorite of mine and the dogs. They both love her. She's fantastic to work with, incredibly reliable, and just everything you hope for. Thank you so much, Jennifer!”


“We can't say enough wonderful things about Bree! She took care of our two cats, Coco and Buddy, with so much love and attention—it truly felt like she was treating them as her own. From the moment we met her, we knew our fur babies were in great hands. Bree went above and beyond in every way. She didn’t just make sure they were fed and comfortable— but kept them happy, and even managed to groom Coco better than we ever have (and that’s saying something!). Coco looked like she stepped out of a cat salon when we got home! We came home to two very content, well-loved cats—and a clean, organized space, which was such a bonus. If you're looking for a trustworthy, kind, and truly exceptional pet sitter, Bree is it. We feel so lucky to have found her.”


About: I, Carter and my mother Mindy, have been pet owners our entire lives. We have experience with young, adult, and senior dogs. Along with experience in administering certain types of medications, and our house is blind dog friendly thanks to indoor gates and a fenced in and safe backyard. We’ve recently lost our last dog and don’t plan to get another animal companion, but we love to help people care for their furry companions temporarily as a way to give back to the same people who did such for us when we were pet owners. Mindy works from home and loves to work outside in her garden, which would mean a lot of outside time for your pet in our fenced in backyard. Carter is around more in the mornings and nights meaning if your animal is a “night owl” they shall still be cared for round the clock. We have a designated area for food and water in our house, along with many toys and bones from throughout the years. We are in a very safe neighborhood with a fenced in backyard and lots of room to run. Any animals living with us will always be treated with kindness and a sense of belonging no matter the duration of their stay!

“Tonie was amazing! Super nice and very flexible! It really made me feel better knowing she could help me get my pup out for some exercise and socializing while I was at work!! I would definitely ask her to help out again!”

About: We are new to Rover, and ready to meet your furry family member! I’ve spent my life around dogs and had the privilege of raising my own from puppyhood to his senior years — 14 amazing years together. While I’m not looking to bring a new dog into my home full-time right now, I still genuinely enjoy being around them. I tailor care to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to match their rhythm — from active walks to quiet downtime. My husband and I work full-time, and we work together to care for your dog during early afternoons through the evenings on weekdays, as well as full days on weekends. We team up to provide consistent, loving attention for your dog. Safety and trust mean a lot to us. Our girls have grown up around dogs and always show so much love and care — they’ll stop every dog we see just to say hi, give hugs, and plenty of belly rubs. We have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and no other dogs in our home, so your pup will have plenty of space and attention. We always follow the owner’s instructions to keep up with their usual routine — activity, meals, naps, and all — to make sure your dog feels comfortable and at home. We know dogs need both chill time and playtime, so we make sure there’s plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable, plus lots of chances to get active and use their energy. As a family, we work together to give your dog the best care possible, treating them like one of our own.

About: I have always grown up with animals! I have had dogs, cats, birds, turtles, lizards, rabbits, chinchillas, fish, and most likely more that I just cant remember! I love animals. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. My one dog was adopted was from ASPCA as a 3 legged dog. This does not slow her down! She loves playing and running. My other dog was adopted from an Amish family as a puppy. She loves to play as well. Both dogs enjoy chasing after my children, playing catch, tug a war, cuddling, going for walks and lots of belly rubs. I also have a cat that loves to cuddle and be loved on. He loves chasing after toys that move and relaxing in his cat tower. I used to own at dog that sadly passed away 2 years that I owned since she was a puppy. Unfortunately she got external cancer on her leg. I had to give her medicine several times a day, wash her wound twice a day, and prepare homemade meals for her. I currently work part time for a school from 9am-230pm so I will have plenty of time before and after that and on weekends to care for your pets. I love taking pets on walks, to the dog park, or just cuddling on the couch. I can drop in to your house as much as needed.

Rachel G.
“Rachel was such a great dog sitter! i hate leaving my dogs behind when i travel but knowing that Rachel was there with them put me at ease. while i was gone, out of state for four days, she communicated constantly with little updates about my 2 dogs (a 13 year-old lab and 10 year-old corgi). my dogs were both on separate, special diets and one is especially prone to health problems. Rachel was incredibly responsible and did a great job keeping them healthy and safe. i returned home to a clean house and 2 happy, healthy puppies! i would absolutely hire her again! ”
