“Stacy has been my first experience with Rover and I could not be any happier. She has been very reliable and always quick to respond to any questions I may have and/or discussions about the visit in general. She provides the best daily photos and I can tell my dog is happy and more than comfortable with Stacy. I have peace of mind knowing Stacy is the one taking care of my dog and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing her services.”

“Yung-Chu C. is amazing! Excellent communication and very kind. She helped us establish a new feeding routine to help our picky princess, iO, eat more and was quick to identify iO’s chronic (though dormant) illness that started to flare up. Caught it early enough to avoid a complete course of symptoms. Our cat absolutely adores Yung-Chu C and we feel so grateful to have her as our pet sitter. Thank you so much again Yung-Chu C.”
“I had to find another sitter again, which is always tough with finding one I can trust but my dog was in good hands with Sherron (pronounced like "sure-ron" I believe)! She's friendly, attentive to details/instructions, and punctual. I could tell she was very well loved and taken care of while were gone and provided photo updates to ease our anxiety. Highly recommend!”
“First time to use rover and very impressed! Thanks to Adeleine for making it so easy for us to trust someone who can really take care of our fur babies! Communication from the very beginning has been wonderful - she responds quickly! The photos she sent showed how much our fur babies enjoyed her company! Will be using rover again and will be working again with Adeleine! Thank you again Adeleine and Rover!!!”


About: I have always had at least one dog in the family since I was a baby. Medium and small dogs mainly, though some large. I do have experience with puppies. Currently not working and am fully available to care for pets, I will be resuming college courses in Spring 2027. I may pick up a part time position during Fall 2026, so availability may change. I am capable of walking dogs, feeding them, and giving them water. Cleaning up any accidents made in my absence, and playing are also in my skill set.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and grew up with pets, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes, from small dogs to larger breeds, and I currently have a Golden Retriever and a cat of my own. One thing that sets me apart is that I work from home most of the time, which gives me a lot of flexibility and allows me to be very present with the pets in my care. Whether I’m doing drop-ins or boarding, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, affection, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long stretches. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. My goal is for your pet to feel as comfortable and loved with me as they do at home. When I’m available for pet sitting, boarding, or drop-in visits, I make sure I’m not working so I can give the pets in my care plenty of time and attention. For boarding stays, I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and companionship. I love being able to spend the day with them rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I take pet safety and comfort very seriously and always do my best to make sure each pet feels secure, relaxed, and at home. I have a Golden Retriever and a cat of my own, so I’m very familiar with caring for different personalities and making sure everyone has the space and attention they need. For pets staying in my home, I supervise interactions, follow their normal feeding and walking routines, and make sure they get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to accommodate any specific instructions, routines, medications, or preferences you have for your pet. For drop-ins or care in your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. I’ll keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Jordyn was absolutely wonderful! We had not had anyone but family take care of our pup so we were apprehensive but Jordyn made us feel so comfortable! The photos and feedback we got were so appreciated and Bruce had a great time! 10/10 would recommend!”


About: I’m an experienced pet owner who has had both dogs and cats and I currently have a 2-year-old cat, Pluto who I adopted as a kitten. I also regularly care for friends’ dogs when they travel, so I’m comfy with the routines, personalities, and individual needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time outdoors!! I love going on walks and getting outside PLUS I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and get some energy out. I also enjoy giving pets plenty of attention and companionship rather than simply checking in on them and dipping. Because I’ve owned both cats and dogs, I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level. Some want to play and explore, while others are happier relaxing and lounging (I have those days too, haha). I’m attentive to those differences and will follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions as closely as possible!(: My goal is to give every pet safe, attentive, and loving care! Whether that means an active play session, a walk, backyard time, cuddles, or simply keeping them company in their own home. I work a FT hybrid schedule, so I’m home every day except Wednesdays and Fridays as I’ll be in office until I get off at 5:30pm. On my remote work days, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including during my lunch break and after I finish work around 5:30 PM. I also naturally enjoy being active and usually take walks/runs early mornings and evenings daily. This makes it super easy to incorporate walks, playtime, and outdoor time within my routine. For pets staying in my home, they’ll have plenty of companionship from me throughout the day, along with access to my fenced backyard for supervised play and outdoor time. On my office days, I’m available for pet care after I get home from work. For drop-in visits, I can visit during my lunch break and/or after work on remote days. On Wednesdays and Fridays I can stop by after work or before my shift. My weekends are generally relaxed and flexible, so I’m also available for visits and pet care then. I’m usually home a lot and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised play and outdoor time, and I’m more than happy to incorporate walks and playtime into their routine. My cat, Pluto is extremely sweet and comfortable around dogs, but I understand that not every pet feels the same way. I have a two-story home, which allows me to keep pets separated when needed and give everyone their own comfortable space. Safety and making sure each pet is comfortable will always come first. I’ll follow your instructions regarding feedings, meds, walks, potty breaks, crate routines, and anything else your pet is accustomed to. I like to keep pets’ normal routines as consistent as possible so they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s established routine and provide whatever care they need; including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, litter box care, and of course love & attention. I’m also happy to send updates and fun photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I'm a tried and true animal lover. I adore dogs, cats, reptiles, birds and the creepiest crawlies you've got! Every pet is a family member and I'd be more than honored to be trusted to care for them a few minutes out of the day! I work full time, usually from 4-10:30 pm. I can do morning (8-11 am) care and afternoon (11-3 pm) care! And if you ever need a late night check in, well... I'm comfortable crating animals, and with keeping a watchful eye while out to play and use the bathroom. I'm also very comfortable walking dogs of all sizes! I was walking 90 LB border collies before middle school.
“Tessa accommodated for an unexpected drop-in. We really appreciated her for the communication and flexibility alongside the attention given to our anxious girl. We look forward to having her come back soon!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and other pets since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me for taking care of their pets! I’m currently working remotely so I’ll have plenty of time to play and care. Available for boarding and home sitting weekdays and weekends. I have one small breed dog. I don’t have a fence or yard but I live in front of a big field and park where I take my small breed to play with and without leash.
“Kinzi is refreshingly professional and dependable. She was thorough during our initial meeting which provided peace of mind while we were gone. Looking forward to hiring her again in the near future!”

About: I’m a former pediatric lab nurse and a longtime pet owner, so I’m very comfortable with both kids and animals who need a little extra patience. I’m detail‑oriented, reliable, and I follow instructions carefully, which is especially helpful for pets with medical needs or specific routines. I’m also used to working with anxious or high‑energy dogs and I’m happy to go slow, give them space, and help them feel safe. While my daughter is at school, I have a regular weekday window for walks and drop‑ins. I’m already out walking my own dogs most days, so adding a few Rover pets into that routine fits really naturally. I have two big dogs of my own, including a large, reactive German shepherd, so I’m very used to handling strong, high‑energy pups. I focus on safety, clear routines, and giving nervous dogs extra space and time to feel comfortable.
“Chelsey is amazing. She is kind, professional, and our dog Maggie loved her immediately. Chelsey took the time to get to know our dog, her play and food habits, and she makes sure Maggie is loved for the entire visit. My fiance and I loved meeting Chelsey so we booked weekly recurring visits to help Maggie have more fun when we are at work.”


About: Along with having three dogs currently (ranging ages) of my own and volunteering/fostering at various animal shelters in my life, I have a love for getting to know each individual personality of every animal. I have a very calm and loving disposition that really helps ease animals while also keeping a standard of discipline and training. I have a fairly open availability before I’m back at TXST for the new semester. I am very physically active so I appreciate animals that require walk or play! I love to keep up with them… or at least try. I have a large backyard with plenty of open space. I recognize other pets might not always get along with my own so I utilize all the senses slowly to acclimate all animals to eachother. At other people’s home I greatly appreciate extensive rules and notes on the pet and home to ensure I care for everything accordingly.

“I didn't want to leave a review because I didn't want y’all to take her from me and Layla! Lol But no... She's truly amazing, polite, respectable, & responsible. She will love your fur babies like they’re her own! If you need her to do drop-in, house-sit, she does it all and is very trustworthy! 🤍 5 stars, 10/10, definitely recommend, will book again!”


About: Both my wife and I have cared for pets for about 15 years now and have lots of experience with both dogs and cats. Whether it’s dogs,cats, birds, or fish we have the experience to care for them. During your pets stay you can expect daily walks and lots of play time, as well as any other special requirements that you may ask for. Rest assure your pets/family members will have the time of their life and daily pictures will be sent during their stay. If you have any questions feel free to send me a message. Having several doggos of our own we implement that into our daily routine by including them in our daily walks, and daily dog park visits. We have a big fenced in yard and live in a secure community. Working from home helps us constantly keep an eye on your pets.
“Elena did such a wonderful job with our golden retriever. She gave him a lot of attention and took him on long walks. She eased my mind while away because I knew she was taking such good care of him. She also sent us lots of pictures and checked in with us. She was also super flexible and very easy to work with. We will use Elena again. Thank you Elena!!!”

Yung-Chu is such a wonderful pet sitter! This is our second time booking with her. She checked in with ranger while we were out of town and was very responsive and always on time. She took lots of pictures and she even left us a custom magnet of Ranger when we came home from our trip. 😭 so sweet and thoughtful! We will continue to keep booking with her. Thank you for taking such good care of Ranger when we were gone! 🤎

Suzanna has helped us out in the past with out kitty needs while we were out of town and has always been great, but this time she went above and beyond. Our cats chewed through the camera cord that I use to monitor their automatic feeders and I was convinced something was wrong with 2/3 feeders. Suzanna moved her visit up to the same day I had my concerns. She switched out the camera cord, troubleshoot the feeders on the phone with us, and changed the batteries on the feeder. She gave us peace of mind while we were across country and allowed us to enjoy the rest of our trip knowing our cats were taken care of. Thank you so much!

Fiona (Ziyu) was wonderful with our three dogs! She visited prior to our booked service to meet them and engage with them, and showed up exactly as scheduled. She communicated readily and sent multiple photos. One of our dogs is very reserved and barks at new people, but she warmed up to Fiona immediately. She also went above and beyond in ensuring that our house was secured when the door code would not engage the lock properly. She called and we walked through the issue on Facetime, and she took a back up key and even made an additional trip to return the key. We highly recommend Fiona, and look forward to booking her again!

I had an incredible experience with Stacy! Leaving our newly adopted pup, Lobo, for the weekend was tough—especially since this trip was so important to our family—but Stacy put our minds completely at ease. She didn't just handle all our requests; she went above and beyond by managing unexpected weather, handling technical difficulties, and even bringing in packages that arrived early. Her care made the whole process effortless. It’s easy to see why she has so many loyal clients—she’s officially won our family over. Thank you so much, Stacy!

Nia is amazing!! I’m a VERY anxious dog mom and she has followed my list of notes every time. My girl Dream is obsessed with her and I’ve never seen her warm up so fast with someone before to the point that she hardly even noticed that I left. 😅 So thankful to have found her. ❤️

I had a great experience with Jada! The process was easy and convenient, and I felt confident knowing my pets were in good hands. Communication was great, and I really appreciated the care and attention my pets received. I would definitely use Jada again and recommend it to other pet owners!

Our fur babies absolutely LOVE Kelsie! 🥹🩷 It’s gotten to the point where they’re way more excited to see her than they are to see us, which honestly makes me so happy! 😂 Thank you again for loving and taking such good care of our fur babies! We truly appreciate you! 🩷🐾

I didn't want to leave a review because I didn't want y’all to take her from me and Layla! Lol But no... She's truly amazing, polite, respectable, & responsible. She will love your fur babies like they’re her own! If you need her to do drop-in, house-sit, she does it all and is very trustworthy! 🤍 5 stars, 10/10, definitely recommend, will book again!

Jennifer was great with my 2 senior cats. She asked lots of questions up front to be prepared and kept me updated on how they were doing. One of my cats has accidents and vomits a lot and Jennifer cleaned all the spots so I didn’t return home to a mess. Would definitely trust her to take care of my cats again.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
