“I was nervous about using Rover, but Morgan quickly put my mind at ease. Morgan was very friendly, took the time to answer all our questions, was very respectful and professional. Our dog, Sam, is a high energy dog with anxiety issues and Morgan is well-qualified to handle Sam’s needs. She related well to Sam from the get-go and Sam responded to her affectionately from the start. We were able to enjoy an evening out worry-free. Morgan updated us throughout the evening. We have complete confidence in Morgan and look forward to using her services in the future. We would highly recommend Morgan! Thank you Morgan for being a part of Rover! Craig and Sue B.”


“Lauren is an absolute gem. We couldn’t have felt more relaxed knowing that she was taking care of our pups and house. She is so kind, communicative, and an absolute pro when it comes to dogs. She will be our first call every time we need someone to stay with our dog. Couldn’t recommend more highly!”


“Imani was beyond wonderful! My Birdie really liked her and was super easy to communicate with. When I got back from my four day business trip, it was clear that Birdie was well taken care of. :) I would work with her again anytime she has availability!”


“Barbara was a very conscientious pet sitter for our 2 year old Poodle. She gave her lots of attention, cuddles and took pictures to share with us. I highly recommend her services. 😊”


“She did great with my 6 dogs. She gave us updates and sent us pictures while on vacation. Gave the dogs love and care. Did everything we asked for and more. We will be booking her for all our vacations.”


“Jordan did a remarkable job with our senior dog. He takes various meds and experiences anxiety whenever we are away, but he seemed to thrive with Jordan. We are so lucky to have found Jordan to care for our fur baby!”


About: I've been around dogs from a very young age and truly believe that there is nothing better than being with a dog. At 12 I begged my parents for a dog that I have diligently taken care of since. My love of animals inspired friends, family, and neighbors to ask me to look after their pets long before I even realized that pet sitting was a job. Wether its going on walks, sticking to a feeding schedule, or enforcing house training i treat every dog as my own. As a university student at home for the summer, my schedule is very flexible so I am available for last minute booking, daily care, or extended stays. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect as your own. I follow all routines closely (walks, feeding, etc.) to keep your pet comfortable and safe. I know how important trust is when someone inters your home, and I take that seriously.

“Caroline helped us watch Jj with short notice. She was very professional, worked with us when we were a little unorganized, and generally impressed us with her willingness to meet our needs. We highly recommend her.”



“We couldn't be more pleased with Ashlee and Warren's care of our fur babies. Everything promised was delivered - the dogs seemed well-cared for and relaxed upon our return and the house was in pristine condition - a wonderful way to return from a week away! Additionally, Warren and Ashlee did a wonderful job keeping us updated with photos and texts about the pooches and their demeanor. I would definitely seek out Warren and Ashlee again to care for our dogs.”



“Kayla did awesome, came home to no messes. Went above and beyond with special needs of our deaf old dog. Had great communication and sent photos. This was our first time using Rover and we will definitely be back!”


About: I been around dogs and cats my whole life. I been housesitting for family and friends for the last 5-6years. My grandmother’s pets are on a strict schedule, and diet therefore I understand strict diet. I’ve worked on a farm so I have experience with farm animals, small pets, and some exotic animals. In the last two years, I’ve had two sets of puppies so I know what it takes to care of puppies. My Roxy was 13 year old when we had to put her down from old age, so I know what it takes to care for a senior dog. I’m currently not working, therefore I have plenty of time to cuddle, play and care with your pets. I can send pictures and/or videos thought your vacation for peace of mind! I like taking care of pets in their own house to make them feel as safe as possible. I will follow any rules or instructions you have for your house and pets.

“Amazing service! Kept us updated with pics the entire stay, both of my babies are extremely excited to see us and looks like they had a great time! Will definitely be rebooking again in the future!”


“Autumn was a godsend! After a terrible experience with another sitter last year, I was so nervous, but all my babies were well cared for and me and my family were able to enjoy our vacation! Thank you again Autumn! I will definitely book with her again if she'll have us!”


About: Hi, my name is Fallon! I absolutely love animals of all kinds. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I offer personalized attention, daily exercise, and lots of affection. I have multiple recurring clients who are more than happy with my work. Your furry friend will be in safe, loving hands while you're away. 💕 I can be available for your animals' needs whenever while you’re away! With a flexible schedule, adjustments can be made to accommodate your pet's specific needs and routines with ease. I have been providing animal care for as long as I can remember. I grew up riding horses and have 3 dogs of my own and 1 cat right now. I love taking care of them and I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own! I am adaptable to the specific needs of each animal.

“I'm so incredibly happy that I picked Nichol out of the wonderful choices! I lost my husband a year ago this month and I have not been able to visit my mom or my adult children, he was there for Bruno when I had to travel. Not having any friends after moving out of my home, I simply had no one I could trust my little guy Bruno with. Now I have the answer to my prayers! Nichol is one of the sweetest young ladies I ever met, and Bruno went bonkers after meeting her! He took an instant liking to Nichol and I do trust his judgment! She just has something about her, I can bet that all animals like her! The house looked like nobody had been there, all my belongings in place, which is very important as you are trusting her with everything you hold dear. I have found my puppy dog angel, and I will hire her again and again, if she will have us. And Bruno was sad to see her go.”


About: Premium, Personalized Dog Care — Where Your Dog Feels Right at Home With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for breeds like German Shepherds, Dobermans, Coon Hounds, and Pomeranians, I’ve built my life around understanding and supporting the needs of dogs. Today, I live on a spacious, fully fenced one-acre property with two friendly pups of my own — the perfect place for your dog to run, play, and feel safe. I work from home, so your pup gets round-the-clock care and supervision. Whether they need extra attention, medication, a quiet nap zone, or just lots of play and snuggles, I’m here 24/7 to ensure they feel like they never left home. Unlike high-volume sitters, I don’t pack in multiple dogs just to fill a schedule. I limit the number of pets I care for so I can provide focused, high-quality attention to each dog. No crates unless you request it. No chaos. Just personalized, loving care in a calm and safe home. There are no children in my household — just a peaceful environment where your pet is treated like family. Whether your dog needs open space to play, structure, or quiet time, I adjust to their routine and personality. My rates reflect the premium, one-on-one care I provide — not just a service, but a home-away-from-home experience for your dog. If you're looking for attentive, professional, and trustworthy care from someone who treats your dog like their own, you’ve found it. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home full-time, which allows me to be fully present and attentive throughout the day. My dogs are part of my life, not just my schedule — and the same goes for any pet I care for. I build my day around walks, enrichment activities, playtime, and quiet moments, making sure each dog gets the stimulation and comfort they need. Rover isn't just a side gig for me — it’s something I genuinely care about. I love being able to share my time and home with other pets, giving them the same level of love and attention I give to my own. In my home, your pet will be treated like one of the family. I have a fully fenced one-acre yard for safe, supervised outdoor play, and two small, friendly dogs to provide companionship if your pup enjoys socializing. I ensure 24/7 access to fresh drinking water, regular bathroom breaks, and a calm, cozy indoor environment where your dog can relax freely — crated only if you prefer. I follow your care instructions closely, including administering any medications as prescribed. Whether it’s maintaining their feeding schedule, providing playtime, or offering extra snuggles, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved — just like they would at home.

“Savannah was awesome! She was very reliable and my dog really enjoyed her time with her. I loved getting little photo and video updates of my pup. I will definitely be using Savannah in the future and recommend her to anyone!”
