“Kaylah was wonderful with our Great Dane during our day trip. She was very accommodating and eager to enjoy her time with our big baby. She sent updates and wonderful pictures. At no point were we not confident that Ellie was in great hands.”
“Reliable and skilled, took charge of my fluffy mastiff, yellow lab and smaller lab-pit mix and handled them nicely. Sent timely text reports and pics, so I knew my dogs were well taken care of and I had peace of mind. Definitely recommend hiring Kristin L.”
“Maria & my dog, Tank, got very close very quickly. We were pleasantly surprised with her efforts and continuous communication, and we’d definitely recommend her to a friend.”
“Thank you so much! Pamela is very respectful and responsible. She treats everything as if it was her own, hence the caring and love of my kitty while I was on vacation. Will definitely be reaching out to Pamela again upon my next vacation!”
“The care and detailed information about how our cat was doing. Jamie takes the time and care to get to know our cat making her more comfortable while away. Thank you!”
About: I have had cats and dogs as pets my whole life. I have also been there for friends, family and neighbors when they need a pet sitter. I currently look after both of my parents dogs while they are at work. Looking to do the same for others I currently have an open schedule and generally flexible on what hours I can work. Please let me know how I can help you and care for your pets! I understand animals have their territory and also enjoy when you respect their personal space. Making sure an animal trusts me is important to me.
“Erica was wonderful! I felt completely at ease having her care for our pups—especially our oldest, who is 14 years old. She took the time to ensure she was comfortable and well looked after. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Jessie was phenomenal watching Keena! I highly recommend booking Jessie to care for your pets. The level of genuine, positive care Keena received was amazing. My original care plans fell through and Jessie was kind enough to accept my last-minute request. Not only was Jessie gracious enough to accept help me out, but Jessie came by to meet Keena and make her feel comfortable before watching her. Jessie gave many updates, sent photos, and was always playing with Keena during visits; clearly making her feel comfortable. Jessie also dealt with some fear issues my dog was having, and did everything possible to make Keena feel better. When I returned from my trip, Keena was wagging and happy as could be, which told me she was well taken care of while I was away!”

About: I have extensive experience with animals. I grew up with a dog in the home who I helped train and care for my entire life. Once I was a teenager, I pet sat for several neighbors and friends on a recurring basis as I was able to build meaningful relationships with their pets. I also volunteered at an animal shelter in college where I helped feed and bathe the animals. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages (young ones who need extra support and older ones who might need medicines or extra guidance). Ultimately, I LOVE all animals and have always had a natural ease with them - so would love to help you take care of any or all of your pets :) I am a current PhD student so my schedule is very flexible through mid-July! I also have a car so I can make most schedules that your pets need work! Starting mid-July I will have more work responsibilities and will only be available for house sitting. I cannot offer boarding in my own home because my apartment is not pet friendly. When I house sit I am very respectful and clean of the space and I enjoy being able to stick to the typical routine of the pet as much as possible.
About: Hi, I'm Brooke! I’m 19 years old and have been around animals my entire life. Growing up, I was never without a pet, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. My first cat, Hunter Patches, was a huge part of my life before he passed last year. Since then, I’ve welcomed two new cats, Loki and Marie, into my family. I also have a 10 year old rescue dog named Gunner and recently rescued a bearded dragon named Dino. I’m comfortable caring for cats, dogs, and reptiles, and I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, play with, check on, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I have a flexible routine and enjoy spending time feeding, playing with, walking, and giving attention to pets throughout the week. I will care for your pets like they’re my own by keeping them fed, comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their routines closely, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel calm and cared for in their home environment.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! I’ve had family fur babies since I was young. I learned at an early age the responsibility it takes to love and care for your pets. I prefer to come to your home where you and your pets are most comfortable. I’m qualified to care for pets varying in age, from pup/kitten to senior care. I’m an extremely trustworthy, loyal, responsible, clean, fun and loving person who just wants to help people when they are in need and what better way to do that than to love on their fur babies when life gets busy! I have a fairly flexible schedule. I work from home three days a week (most weeks) Typically, Monday, Wednesday and Friday (In office Tuesday and Thursday). I will do my best to make a schedule that works for all of us! I will care for your pets however you prefer. I would like to do meet and greets to ensure that you and your pet are comfortable as well as myself. I can fine tune the details once the client and I agree that we are a match!
About: Hi, my name is Rachel. I have been around all types of animals basically my entire life, dogs being my favorite of course. I've been around small dogs, average sized dogs and larger dogs. Because I'm a highly energetic person and love to run and play, I will be able to provide a great and fun environment to your pup. Since I've moved from home ( New York ) I am no longer around my family pets, whom I miss very much, Rover gives me an opportunity to make friends with your pup's, so for that I'm extremely greatful and excited to get started. I am eager to meet yourself and your fur child, and I'm even more excited to become their very good friend! ?

Lakeland cat parents share their Rover experiences
Mikala did an excellent job taking care of my kitty. She was able to give her an oral medication every day while also making sure all her needs were met…scooping litter, changing her water and making sure she had clean dishes and fresh food.i would absolutely recommend her and use her again myself.
Ginnie was able to do drop-ins with our two cats through the Thanksgiving holiday, which we were very grateful for! She was even able to come Thanksgiving day. She was delayed a few times due to snow, but she kept us updated so we knew what was going on. She followed our feeding instructions and the cats were well-cared for while we were gone.
