“I’m so glad that I found Amy on Rover. She is very reliable and responsive and the perfect person to help out with my puppy when I have to be gone during the day. Very friendly and great with pets ❤️ We will continue to hire her to take care of Bowie 🐶”
“Michelle gave excellent communication throughout. Even though our cat was tough, she was able to help with what we needed while we were out. Would definitely recommend Michelle to help out!”
“Julie is amazing! She took great care of our two cats during our 2-week absence overseas, with particular attention to giving daily medicine to our older cat. The detailed daily visit reports we received from her (along with photos of our cats) put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our holiday stress-free. She was patient, meticulous and thoroughly focused on the well-being of our furry companions. Her services were nothing short of outstanding.”
“Eddie was wonderful! He was available at the last minute and was able to give our Cavalier King Charles Spaniels their dinner and a mile long walk. When he and the doggies arrived home, Eddie played fetch with them. He also sent us 6 photos and a very charming review of their experiences together. We’re going to schedule Eddie again— we’re really happy with his work.”
About: My name is Carley and I have spent time around animals since early childhood. My most recent pup and best bud, Diego, who we had for about three years, recently passed away. He was 11 when we adopted him, so I have a lot of experience caring for senior pets. I have also watched hundreds of pets through Rover and Wag! I look forward to walking, playing and cuddling with any dog who needs love and attention. I will make sure that your animals have a comfortable and fun-filled time while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I mostly work from home, so I have a fairly flexible schedule, and my partner (who previously worked at a vet clinic) is home almost full time. I like to meet pets where they are. If your dog loves walk and outdoor time, I enjoy taking them to nearby parks. If they prefer cuddles at home, I love that too!
“First time Rover couldn't have asked for a better experience Great communication came through in a pinch took time before the sitting to come meet JuJu and her relaxed approach kept him at ease Highly recommended”
“Andrew was great! I came home to two very happy fur babies. He went above and beyond when caring for them. I would definitely use him again when my family travels!!”
About: I have been a dog walker for a bit now and I love animals! I am able to walk any size dog, and I am capable of walking multiple pups at once. I can accommodate for dogs of all ages too, new puppies or senior dogs. I have also had dogs in my family for my entire life. I’m a recent college graduate, trying to earn some extra money. I am a very positive and energetic person! I love to be outdoors and exercise lots. Rover seems like an awesome app to meet some amazing, lovable pups! I work full time in the Southern Metro area. I am fully available on the weekends! I am completely free on Saturday and Sundays :). I am happy to go for long early walks in the morning or later at night. The pet and their needs should always come first. I love a cuddly dog that can curl up on the couch with me or I can go on a hefty walk around some of the lakes!
“Shykala watched my cat and she took so much thought in her care. She took the time to spend time with my cat so that she wasn’t bored while I was away. She sent a bunch of photos so I knew my pet was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking her again to watch my pet”
“Daniel was great with my dog Pepper. He did a meet and greet with her prior to my trip to ensure they started out as fast friends. Pepper enjoyed her time with Daniel as easily scene in the many photos he provided. I had no concerns with him dropping in on Pepper my home and I appreciated his short-notice availability and flexibility. I hope to use Daniel again very soon.”
“This was our first experience with Andy and I am very pleased! She was very communicative and very patient with my shy cat. Everything looked as it should when I got home and I can’t ask for more!! I hope she will be willing to do cat-sit visits w/Tess in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Katie! I’m not only a lifelong animal lover, but also a mental health therapist, which means patience, empathy, and trust are at the core of everything I do. I know how much our pets mean to us, as they are our family, and I take that responsibility seriously when you place your trust in me. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup is an energetic adventurer who loves long walks and playtime, or a more laid-back snuggler who just wants company and comfort, I’ll meet them where they’re at. I’m also very mindful of routines and can follow any instructions you provide to make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. As a therapist, I understand the importance of creating a calm, supportive, and reliable environment. I’ll always treat your pets with the same love and respect I give to my own, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and pictures so you feel connected while you’re apart from them. Whether you’re looking for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’d love to be a trusted friend to both you and your furry family member! I’m currently a full time therapist so my 9-5 hours are pretty booked already but I am free for dog care before 9 & after 5 or on Saturdays and Sundays. I love to keep the dogs active, taking them on walks, making sure I play with them, having their water filled all the time as well as give them some love!
About: I had two dogs growing up and I miss being around them! I go on walks almost every day. Would love to do that with your dog :) I am mostly available Tuesday- Saturday before 10 am and after 5pm. Sundays and Mondays are more flexible. Please reach out with any questions, I’m happy to help. I have two cats but I am really an animal person. My current living situation doesn’t allow me to have dogs but I would love to be able to spend time with yours.
About: I’ve been helping with care and dog sitting for friends and neighbors for about ten years, especially for my sister’s cavaliers (pictured) when she goes on trips. I have a lot of experience walking more anxious/shy dogs, and have also wrangled some bigger aggressive pooches - so I know how to navigate a walk to avoid socialization when needed, and keep a tight grip on the leash. I just quit my corporate job, so my schedule is open! Particularly looking to schedule some day-time walks, but flexible on timing, and can potentially do overnights as well I like to defer to the dog’s temperament and let them initiate interactions, or offer treats to grease the wheels. Ideally I want to build a rapport with them to get in some playtime and cuddles to keep them emotionally engaged while their human is away
“Alisha did a fantastic job taking care of our difficult cats- one very shy and one diabetic requiring shots. Great daily updates so that we knew things were going well. Alisha is very thorough and detailed which I greatly appreciate. She made sure our shy cat was able to eat every day. After a couple visits our shy cat warmed up to Alisha and enjoyed her company. I would highly recommend Alisha for pet sitting!”

“Wow where do I start , Carley is amazing at all she does, very responsible and reliable, you can always count on her to give her absolute best. Her face lights up every time she sees a dog!

To see her face light up ? says it all.”

Hannah P.
“Hannah has taken care of my dog Chloe while I was out of town several times and she’s always done a great job. She always sends me updates and I have peace of mind that Chloe is in the best care.
