“Allison was great! I booked her very last minute, and she still made time to come over to do a greet and meet. She’s clearly a dog lover, and our pups instantly fell in love with her. And very affordable rates! 10/10 would rebook in the future!”
“Lauren was fantastic with the animals and made sure they both got attention. She even went the extra mile with them, such as cleaning litter boxes and taking out the trash. I will definitely be using her again if available.”
“Amber was very communicative, sending many pictures daily. She was also very flexible with her time when I unexpectedly had to extend my travels a week longer. Upon my return, my apartment was just like I had left it and my kitties seemed very happy. Will definitely rebook with her in the near future!”
“Sara did an amazing job watching our pups, was an extremely reliable communicator, and went above and beyond while we were on vacation to make sure that our dogs were happy and well fed. While we were out of town Sara was able to drip our faucets so the pipes wouldn’t freeze and even offered to go check on the house before her shift was supposed to start. She kept us updated and we loved looking at the pictures she would send of our dogs while we were away. If I could give 10 stars I would!!”
“Ericka did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Molly! This was my first time using Rover so I wasn't sure how it would go having a new person take care of her doing the drop-in visits, but she loved Ericka! I also really appreciated the notes and photo updates from each check-in. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Amazing dog walker ! Very compassionate and loving!”
“Jessica was AWESOME and came through for me on a short notice! She was punctual and sweet! Quick response and easy to communicate with! My pup was taken good care of and got the much needed exercise! Will continue to book with her!!!”
“Roxann was absolutely amazing with Mac, she went above and beyond to spend time with him and I couldn’t have imagined a better person to watch him than her”
“They took excellent care of our 16 yo Chihuahua and 8 yo cat! They were very thorough, always refilled food/water, gave treats, played with them, made sure they had potty time, and even brought in packages left outside. Definitely recommend booking these two if you want peace of mind your pets will be well cared for.”
“Michael was great. We had four cats, one which had to be kept separate and another with special needs, and he took care of them with no issues. I would definitely recommend him.”
“He was so great. We had to find someone last minute and he fit us in! He sends lists of updates, pictures, answers questions, and cared so well for our boys! He took well to our boys and our boys loved getting the attention while we were gone. Thank you!”
“Ignacio did an amazing job! I have 6 pugs with very different personalities and they all loved him! He did a check in with them at my home while we were away and everything went great! He was attentive and paid close attention to detail. This was my first time using rover and I’m glad we got him to look over our beans. I will definitely be booking with him again”
“We booked Nev last minute to drop in on our dogs, and I’m so happy we did! Nev even scheduled a meet and greet, taking time out of their day to make it happened. We are so happy with the care our puppies received.”
“Mel did such a great job at making sure my fur baby was taken care of while I was away! With the few instructions I gave him, my kitty was all set and looked after and I felt at ease the entire time I was away! Especially with all the pictures!!! Thanks so much Mel !!”
“Lexi was such a joy to have as a cat sitter! Not only was so responsive and attentive, but she built a relationship with my kitties and documented all of their cute moments to send to me. She even went through trouble-shooting issues for my few automatic appliances! Would recommend to everyone.”
“Always grateful for Cirias time with my two dogs, they’re always so happy to see her and so worn out when she leaves! (Required to mention I am employed by Rover, but regardless, Ciria is wonderful!)”
About: I’ve taken care of big and small breeds, I have also trained my own pup several things. I love making sure pups are given love and affection! They are our Bestfriends in this world, as dog parents we should give them the best care.🤍 I am a College student who has plenty of free time with a flexible schedule and plenty of love to give the pups. I love showing the babies new tricks and treating them as my own. I have a big furry friend and her name is Ladie she is a German shepherd who is well maintained and has crazy energy which i love. I also have a small pup who’s our recent one to the family and her name is Luna she is a pug who is more calm and quiet but is also well maintained, both of my pups were taught to do tricks by myself and my family. ❤️
About: I consider myself not a dog walker, but a dog runner... for energetic Huskies, Heelers, Border Collies, Aussies, and more! High energy dogs are my niche. I'm a lifelong dog lover with a cattle dog/ Heeler (having owned two) experience offering running and engaging walks. I've been a runner for over 25 years, currently, having a Heeler and Heeler/ Husky mix, I understand their high energy and exercise requirements. I offer energetic runs/ walks designed to tire out them out. Also, I offer,"Mosey walks" perfect for older/ senior dogs (my Heeler is 9), or less energetic pups who still love to explore. Additionally, a TON of love and attention. If you're tired from work and your dog needs to let out that energy, I'm the one for your dog. If you've ever wanted to run with your dog. I'm the one to support and coach you along. I live in the King William area and two blocks from the river. My goal is a happy, well exercised dog who sleeps at night. If your dog is looking for me, I'm for your dog! I'm punctual, communicative, and send updates. Exercise and fresh air equals a healthy and happy dog! I work from home and am available most days (self employed). I can even do last minute runs (Mainly) and walks. My dogs enjoy the freedom and their outside walks (Nellie likes her two mile run in the AM) that Mother Nature offers them. My dogs are everything to me and I'll treat yours the same. I live in King William, two blocks from the river, close to HemisFaire Park so they'll have shady walks/ runs. I'm very resourceful and can find a shady spot by your home as well.
About: No matter the size or breed, every doggo holds a special place in my heart. Growing up with pets has taught me the care and attention every animal needs. My goal is to ensure they feel loved and at peace while you're away. You can trust me to take great care of your furry friend(s). I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate additional tasks or appointments as needed, ensuring reliable and timely care. I’m available weekdays and weekends, both mornings and afternoons. I provide pet care at your home, ensuring a comfortable and familiar environment for your pet. I follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, and any specific routines, and I make sure to give them plenty of attention and affection while you're away. I prioritize their safety and comfort, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re well cared for in their own space.

Allison goes above and beyond to take care of my large dog. I trust her with all of my being. Lucky to have found such an awesome sitter. 10/10
Breanna checked in regularly, came to meet me and the kitties prior to the booking. She asked questions to be sure she was getting everything right and left detailed visit notes each visit. It gave me great peace of mind to know she was there checking on my fur babies regularly!
Awesome pet sitter!! We have booked Abeer for drop ins so far! Hopefully soon we will have Abeer for house sitting! She is very kind with our 6 fur babies and they absolutely adore her. Abeer takes lots of pictures which is great cause everyone wonders how their pets are doing while away! Abeer brings a sense of peace when we’re away from home.
Laurel was wonderful! Very communicative and our pups were so happy with her. It made us feel so comfortable being away from home.
Lexi was great and enjoyed spending time with my cats. She was attentive and accommodated their schedule. I felt very comfortable with her and appreciate how quickly she responds.
Alondra, you are the best. Thank you very much for the help, great communication and extreme care for my cats. Happy for having you here.
Nev took good care of my dog Maxine during drop in visits over 4th of July weekend. Communication was great (texts, photos) as was reliability.
Ignacio did an amazing job! I have 6 pugs with very different personalities and they all loved him! He did a check in with them at my home while we were away and everything went great! He was attentive and paid close attention to detail. This was my first time using rover and I’m glad we got him to look over our beans. I will definitely be booking with him again
Melisa is so thoughtful and patient with our older dog! We have rebooked with her multiple times now, and she is always excellent!
Kaylee is awesome to work with and helped me out in a tight spot. I’m very grateful for her services.
Angelica is the absolute best sitter we have had to take care of both my dog and cat. I can tell they adore her and she goes above and beyond to make sure they’re well taken care of.
I’m so thankful for Odalys! She took such amazing care of my girl while we were away. From the moment we met, I could tell she truly loves animals. She kept me updated every day with pictures, which really put my mind at ease. I would absolutely book with her again—highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!
I booked them last minute, and they were absolutely wonderful! They were incredibly sweet with my dogs and made me feel at ease right away. Communication was excellent they kept me updated and even sent a cute video of my pups playing in the yard. I could tell my dogs were happy. I would definitely book them again!
Allison was fantastic! Took great care of my cat, played with him, and had great communication throughout. I highly recommend these sitters!
Ellie was fantastic while watching our little Jalapeño!. She was very communicative and had no problem working out the complex building. Our kitty didn’t seem to miss us too much when we got home so I know it was because Eleanor gave him lots of play time and loving while we were gone. She sends lots of pictures and makes sure he’s eating, it’s great to know Jalapeño is being well cared for on our busy trip, he was in perfect hands!! I would absolutely recommend Ellie 10/10, she will work with you and your schedule and your pets needs. Jalapeno already can’t wait for Ellie to come back again!
Highly recommend! She's a life-saver :) very great with puppies and adult dogs with special, medical needs ❤️
Kaileen is a great, friendly sitter! Took extra care to play with my cat and I felt very comfortable knowing my cat was well taken care of while I was gone. Kaileen was communicative before during and after the cat sitting.
Madeline took such great care of our cat, Peach, while we were away! We will definitely be booking with her again. 😻
