“Our cats love when Lisa comes to visit! We miss our cats a lot when we travel, so it’s nice to have peace of mind knowing they’re well taken care of. Thanks again Lisa!!”

“Maria took such great care of my cat! I could tell he was so happy with the time he spent with her. She sent plenty of videos and pictures of him which I loved and she followed the instructions I left for his care perfectly. My cat was so calm when we got home that I could tell all his needs had been well met while we were gone.”

“Asia is truly wonderful, she went above and beyond and my dog was very happy! she is very neat! she sent me photo updates and i was so relaxed knowing my puppy was in great hands, we are truly blessed to have encountered her on rover!”
“Alexis was tremendous. He left thorough review cards, lots of pictures, and was very communicative throughout his drop-ins. He was very flexible through a home-alarm difficulty, was very sweet to our cats, and we cannot recommend him enough. Please consider utilizing Alexis for your home visits!”

“Our first time using a pet sitter and we have no regrets!!! Chandra has always been excellent at returning messages and answering questions. Neither dog got off the couch”

“Britney was amazing!! She treated my dog so well and listened to all my concerns. My dog is an anxious ball of fur and usually takes longer to warm to people, but loved Britney. Will use again!”

“Nathalie was a great sitter for my 3 cats! She was reliable, did exactly as asked, and had great communication. I will likely book her again in the future!”

“Jasmine was great with my Kobe! This was my first time using Rover and based off of my first time I would highly recommend the services. Jasmine dropped in to feed my dog as scheduled and even had a little play time with him. I got regular updates along with pictures of Kobe as well. Will definitely book again! ⭐️”

“Marissa was great with my cat Freya. She sent lots of good pictures, didn't hesitate to contact me when she had questions about caring for my cat, and she was able to find time in her schedule to rebook last second for a few more days when my flights got canceled. It's clear Marissa is really dedicated and enjoys looking after pets. I'd certainly book her again if I need another sitter in the future. Thanks.”
“Sierra was a wonderful sitter for our kitties. We really appreciated that she was willing to meet us before we booked her (we had never used Rover or any other in-home petsitter before). She was responsive, responsible, and we so appreciated the daily updates with photos. Thank you, Sierra!”


“I’ve requested Imani’s help a few times now with dog walking, house digging, or drop-ins, and she consistently goes above and beyond. She is always such a pleasure to work with and my dogs really love her.”

“Joshuah took great care of our cat with digestive issues, and became fast friends with our kinda standoffish girl within a day. Great communication, lots of pictures, we felt super at ease knowing she was in caring hands. 10/10 would rebook.”

About: Currently studying veterinary science, so taking care of your animal is my profession! Working at an animal shelter part-time as an Animal Care Tech. Walked on wag before moving to Rover for sitting. Since working part-time, I am available throughout the week and late nights as well. Busy on the weekends and schooling in the morning. I made my schedule to have my afternoons and evenings free. 'I have a small mini poodle at home that loves to play. No strangers around your fur babies, currently living alone. I have a puppy-proof apartment set up for free roam and no easy access to anything harmful.
“Sierra was wonderful! She was really understanding of my worries of leaving Pazzo alone after a tough vet visit. She gave me excellent updates and made sure to give Pazzo lots of extra cuddles. She gave him his meds easily, and I felt so much better that Pazzo was in her hands. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Annie took great care of my two cats with medical needs while I was away on vacation. I received pictures of both of my boys for each visit, as well as detailed descriptions of what took place during the visits. Thank you, Annie!”


About: I will care for your dog as if it is my own. Every dog deserves a safe and happy environment and fun experiences too. I started by walking an elderly neighbors dog because I wanted to dog to get a nice walk, and ended up adopting him, though I am the one getting the most out of this arrangement. Very sensitive to changes that effect senior dogs and will gladly accommodate all special requests. In the human health care field and very attuned to special health needs of canines. I am dependable, reliable, caring and willing to go the extra mile for your dog. I coordinate a small neighborhood organization that raises funds on a small scale basis for local cat rescue. I am looking forward for the opportunity to be part of your dog's life.
About: I’ve cared for my own dog for the past ten years, and during that time I’ve also looked after many pets belonging to neighbors, friends, and family. Several still rely on me whenever they need someone they trust with their fur babies. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available most days and times. I’m able to adapt to your pet’s routine and provide care when you need it. I own my home and provide a safe, stable environment for every pet in my care. I have a small fenced‑in yard where dogs can enjoy fresh air, but they are never left outside unsupervised. All dogs are always kept leashed on walks, and my neighborhood is very walkable, making it easy to give pets regular, safe exercise. I’m attentive to safety at all times — doors and gates stay secured, and I follow each pet’s routine exactly as the owner requests. I also have my own car, so I’m able to handle any necessary transportation safely and comfortably. My goal is to make sure every pet feels secure, cared for, and protected while they’re with me.

About: I've always been a dog lover. I grew up with dogs my entire childhood, and currently live with two beautiful pit bulls. I also had a cat for about 10 years, and in general I get along well with all pets. I've been an on-and-off petsitter and housesitter since middle school, and have experience caring for elderly cats and dogs. I am currently a graduate student, working on my dissertation. I'm not in classes, so my schedule is very flexible. I only have a few standing obligations each week. I will follow any instructions that you have for pet care. In addition to feeding and walking pets and cleaning litter boxes, I also have no problem administering medication, bathing and grooming pets, and cleaning up pet-related messes (such as litter on the floor around the litter box).
Lower Northwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
So grateful for Jessica doing drop-in visits for our cats while we were away for a long weekend. Scheduling a meet & greet was quick and simple, she is very responsive and she sent photos + communicated her timelines to us the entire time -- I never had to wonder if they were going to be well taken care of. Thank you!!

Nataly has watched my two cats several times, but I had some unexpected travel delays and asked her to come last minute. She responded right away to my request and was there later that evening. I was so relieved that I didn’t have to worry about my babies while I was stranded in another city. I’m very grateful to have her as my cat sitter!

Lina has been wonderful with our 3-month-old puppy! She is caring, attentive and clearly great with animals. She always sends pictures and thoughtful updates during her drop-ins, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re at work. We truly feel that our puppy is well cared for and loved when Lina is there. We’re so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.
