Jay is the best. My Thunder who is a 75lb American Pitbull loves him and for anyone with this breed that once they trust you there is no such thing as personal space. This breed gets a bad reputation but they are cuddle buddies. Book him now and often you will not regret it!

Priyanka was amazing with my dog. She followed all the instructions I left her, asked to do a meet and greet, and asked questions about my dog too. I got updates and pictures. I would book her again!!

About: Hello! My name is Mallory and I’m so happy to virtually meet you! My fur baby pictured in my profile image is Dippy, a 14 year old senior kitty! I grew up with pets of all kinds living in my household: cats, dogs, turtles, bunnies, hamsters! Although I don’t necessarily have “special skills” in the pet care department, I’m absolutely willing to learn new things to best accommodate your child or children! As a mother of three beautiful cats, I’m likely found feeding them during their meal times, refreshing their water, cleaning their litter boxes daily, giving my senior baby some extra tender care, giving my two youngsters some extra play time, getting all of them their vet needs, etc! Since I do have three cats who aren’t entirely open to other fur children wandering around, I would take care of your pet in your home where they feel the safest. I’ll do my best to maintain their typical routine during your travel, considering their meal times, play times, and bathroom times of course!

Kate spent two weeks with our 17 year old cat, Hunter. For the first four nights she also cared for our 5 year old Labrador retriever, Orli. Kate provided daily updates & great photos. It was obvious from the photos that both Hunter & Orli were comfortable and relaxed with Kate. Kate had no problem giving Hunter his twice daily insulin injections & keeping him on his feeding/meds schedule. It’s a comfort to know your fur babies are well cared for when you are away. We will definitely book Kate again to care for Hunter & Orli!

Gabriel was wonderful! He was willing and able to take on some days watching Lucy as my regular sitter was booked a few days during a long work trip. He did a wonderful job with her, was so kind, caring and great. She was comfortable, happy and well cared for. He did a great job keeping me updated, answering my questions and ensuring I felt comfortable having someone new care for Lucy. Will absolutely be using him again!

About: I've taken care of dogs of every size (small, medium, large) and household cats! Love to teach (or at least try to teach) your pups new tricks when you're away. I work at U of M Hospital, so I will have time to hang out with your animals most days of the week (mornings, evenings, nights) and weekends! Safety is my top priority when it comes to caring for your animals. Depending on the animal, I'll work with the owner to make sure we have a safety plan in place.

I am so delighted we found Milena as she took such excellent care of our puppy. This was my first time away from the pup and I was getting so anxious about finding someone responsible but after meeting Milena, it was clear she was very knowledgeable and trustworthy - I felt truly reassured Yara would be in terrific hands, which was indeed the case! Milena was quick to respond to my messages, sent me lots of photo updates, and was extra attentive to Yara's wellbeing. We will most definitely be booking Milena's services again!

This was our very first time using Rover, and as extremely overprotective dog parents, we were definitely nervous. But Brad was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He eased our minds with daily updates, complete with photos and videos that showed just how well our dog was doing! We also had a Fi tracker on his collar and it was so reassuring to see how many walks and steps he was getting. Brad took him out so often, even more than our normal routine! Our dog occasionally gets so excited that he’ll throw up if he hasn’t eaten in a while, and when it happened, Brad immediately texted us, cleaned it up, and made sure he ate and drank after. His communication was quick, calm, and thoughtful, which helped us feel totally at ease. It was clear our dog was incredibly well cared for — he got plenty of walks, playtime with his toys, and lots of attention. Honestly, he looked sad when Brad left! Brad also left our home neat and spotless, which we really appreciated. We feel like we hit the jackpot with Brad. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take care of our fur baby, and we’d recommend him to absolutely anyone. We hope to book with him again!

About: Hi! As a small dog owner to my dog, Akele, I know that leaving your pet can be stressful. My goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're away. I bring a strong background in structured caretaking, so following specific medical instructions, feeding schedules, or quirky bathroom habits is second nature to me. From daily walks and playtime to overnight companionship, I'll ensure your pet stays happy, safe, and entirely in their comfort zone. I have a highly flexible schedule and am fully available for pet care on Saturdays and Sundays. I can also accommodate weekday requests depending on your needs just let me know what works best for you! I am always happy to adjust my day to mimic your pet’s exact routine so they stay comfortable. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I watch. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I ensure they feel secure, loved, and fully looked after. I strictly follow all special care instructions, keep a very close eye on their needs, and provide plenty of supervised attention.

This is my second time booking with Marlita and she did an amazing job again. Both my cats love her. My one cat loves her so much that when she saw it was me who came back home she hid under the couch because she was disappointed I wasn’t Marlita. She sends daily updates and follows care instructions well. I’m glad I found a reliable cat sitter and I will definitely be booking with her again.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.

I can’t say enough good things about Shannon. I came to her with a little bit of an odd request—more like an evening of babysitting our pup than a traditional dog sit. Happy is 5 months old and full of energy. And also still learning how to behave in someone else’s house. We were staying with our daughter and her family so we could attend a family wedding in a different city than where we live. I looked on Rover and found this woman with years of experience as a certified dog sitter, who seemed very knowledgeable and friendly. I thought she would not be overwhelmed by a 5-month-old golden retriever pup. So I reached out to Shannon long distance and she was right there with all the good questions and suggestions about how to make my plan work. We chatted for about an hour to make sure we both felt comfortable and then I booked the appointment. Shannon even came to my daughter’s house the day before the wedding just to meet Happy and give me a chance to share any additional details. Then on the day of the wedding, she came right on time and gracefully managed our pup (walks, potty breaks, dinner, playing with our very young grandkids , settling for the night), which enabled our son-in-law to manage our two grandchildren without any additional complications. Her skill and kindness with Happy made the whole evening stress-free for all of us. It was a dream dog sit. When it came time for Shannon to leave, Happy just walked over and sat down right at her heels and nuzzled her hand. Thank you Shannon!

Holy moly! I can’t brag about Safiya enough! From start to finish the communication was nothing short of incredible. She cared for my baby like he was her own. She cared for my home like she lived here. I feel like a found a member of the family not a sitter. Hands down, the best caretaker for anyone you love. Will ONLY be booking with her again in the future. 100000000000000000000 out of 10. Literally the greatest experience.

Chris did an amazing job watching our dog Gobi and we will definitely have him watch him again in the future! He has a very calm, comforting demeanor which helped our nervous guy feel safe. But he also loved playing with him and tired him out nicely for us! He went above and beyond by taking him out for 3 extra walks and even brought one of our packages inside the house. I also loved the picture updates he sent us! Thank you Chris, see you soon!
