Jenni is amazing. This was our first time leaving our pup at home and using Rover for drop in visits. Bandit was so much more relaxed staying in his own home instead of being boarded.

About: I am fresh out of high school and just turned 18. I’ve been looking forward to being able to join Rover as a sitter for 5 years. I love animals and have a bond with most. I have 2 dogs, a German Shepherd and a Chihuahua. I am also a volunteer with the No Kill Cat Rescue. And am always the go-to person for all my friends and family who need me to watch their pets! I have school from 9 am to 4 pm so i am free to work from 4:10 pm to 10 pm! Feel free to book me then! I love animals and i try my best to follow every single rule that an owner gives me. I love training dogs a bit to get their mind sharper and i love to pet and brush them if needed.

Jane came by before my trip to learn about my cat Pearl and her habits. Jane was very easy to work with and very likable. She visited Pearl for 6 days, leaving new food and water. Pearl hid from Jane every time, but Jane texted a Pic of the new fday's food and water. I will definitely use Jane again! Thanks Jane

If I could give 100 stars I would. Minh was the most conscientious and communicative dog sitter we have ever had. My great pyr loved her and was spoiled by Minh’s visits. She always stayed much longer than was expected and even looked after a few things at our home we hadn’t asked. She is a dream sitter!! 100+ stars!

About: I work from home and would love an excuse to get up from my desk and what better excuse than to get some puppy and dog cuddles while also getting exercise by walking. I currently have a corporate work from home job that requires me to be at a desk. This type of schedule fits into my routine because it allows me to visit pets before starting work, at lunch or breaks, and also after work. My schedule is very flexible that I can meet you where you need it. I am very detail oriented and a huge pet lover at heart so when I am visiting your house, I respect the house rules and follow instructions to a T. I also am very high energy due to ADHD and am a great partner for fetch and walks.

About: Since childhood, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets. I provide experienced, trustworthy walking, feeding, and bathing for your beloved furry family member. I’m currently studying for my national boards exam, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your loved one. I have a pretty flexible schedule at the moment and am available on most week days and some weekends. Right now, I only care for pets inside your home where they feel safest.

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog, Valen, while we were away! Judd went above and beyond in every possible way. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely loves and understands animals. Valen took to him instantly, which gave us so much peace of mind. Judd kept us updated daily with photos, videos, and little notes about their adventures together, so we always felt connected. It was heartwarming to see Valen so happy and well cared for, whether they were out on walks, playing, or just relaxing at home. He even gave her a bath!! Judd was not only incredibly responsible and attentive to Valen’s needs, but he also left the most thoughtful gifts for our kids, which was such a thoughtful touch. We came back to a relaxed and joyful pup, and we’re so grateful for the love and care Judd provided. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, look no further than Judd. We can’t recommend him highly enough!

Kyla is heaven sent! I was in a tough situation trying to get my dog comfortable and situated under our circumstances, and Kyla was very patient and caring when it came to getting to know Macho and allowing him to get us to her. He loves her now, and I can definitely see that she genuinely cares about him as well. We appreciate Kyla oh so much! If you’re thinking about booking her.. think no more.

About: I have always had some sort of pet in my house! I grew up with dogs and cats and they were an integral part of my life! I have experience working as a dog walker and pet sitter as well as fostering for multiple animal rescues. I am also experienced in administering oral and injectable medications. I recently graduated from grad school and work from home currently. I am home all day everyday and would be happy to take care of your furry friend! I make sure my own animals are introduced to animal guests slowly and carefully. They will never not be monitored together. My personal pets are friendly, but you never know what could happen so I like to stay vigilant!

We absolutely love Samantha! My husband and I always book her whenever we travel because we know our two cats are in great hands. She takes wonderful care of them, makes sure they’re happy and doing well, and spends time playing with them and giving them attention. The peace of mind she provides while we’re away is truly priceless. We never have to worry because we know our cats are being cared for like they’re her own. Highly recommend-book her! 🐱❤️
