“So glad Taylor spent the winter holidays with my two dogs! She left my home clean, always kept me updated, and handled things well when they didn’t go to plan. I’d highly recommend booking Taylor!”


“Tyshaun went above and beyond with helping my pup while she was dealing with IVDD. He had the patience to take care of her when she could barely walk. He also gave my other three pups the attention they needed. I highly recommend Tyshaun.”


“Anna was amazing. She did a great job with the dogs and they really enjoyed her company. If I have to use this app again I will definitely pick Anna.”


“Sara did such a great job with my 3 dogs! I think they were disappointed it was only me when I finally got home! She was so responsive to my crazy dog mom questions and she stayed in my home and tooks such good care of it as well. I am so happy that I have her booked for my next trip!”


“Finding Ashley was a HUGE relief. This is our first time using Rover and leaving our pets and home to a sitter. Throughout the process Ashley provided excellent communication and comfort. Our animals and home were well taken care of. We’ve already arrange two additional services with her. Thank you for everything Ashley!”


“Macy took such amazing care of our fur babies! She really went above and beyond to make sure our pups were well cared for and still had fun while we were out of town. Our dogs can be high energy but she kept them happy with walks and plenty of games of fetch. One of our dogs can be nervous around other people but he warmed up to her very quickly. We were really able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pups were in good hands! Thanks for everything, Macy!”


“Michelle was amazing! She took great care of my dogs and they loved her instantly. She kept me updated on everything and provided lots of pictures. I would recommend her to everyone.”


“Robin is amazing! She looked after my pups at my place for 4 days and sent me plenty of pictures and good communication. You could tell she loved my pups and they definitely loved her. Will definitely use her again!”


“Nikki was amazing with Bailey. Lots of pics and updates. I could tell he was loving it up and not missing us at all. We were gone for a week. Definitely will use Nikki in the future.”


“Kasey was great. Made sure our dog was well taken care of. He made sure to meet all of our expectations. Our dog was happy and we knew that he was getting lots of love while we were gone. He made sure to send us pictures of everything each day. Our dog is reactive to other dogs on walks so he often doesn’t get out when we’re gone, but Kasey had no issues and got our guy plenty of exercise.”


“Cassandra was absolutely amazing with our cat and high energy dog who was recovering from knee surgery. She went above and beyond to make sure the animals and house were taken care of. I can't recommend her highly enough!”


“She was absolutely wonderful for my little Maggie! Was very accommodating with my traveling schedule changes and would sent me photos and updates of my pet.”


“Words can’t even express how grateful we are that we found Ashley. She truly cares for pets and it was so relieving to know they were well cared for while we had a trip for a family member in the hospital. It was one less thing to worry about, which is exactly what we needed. She was always at our home several times a day and took time with them giving companionship which was so important to us. Our kids really are thankful for her sending updates about their fay and photos & videos of the pets. It made them smile each time. It’s just so sweet to see how much she cares and helped our family.”


“Very kind and sweet girl. Watched our babies overnight and it was nice to know that we could trust her with our girls. Was very communicative while with them and sent pics. We had a mishap at the beginning when our key didn’t work for her to get in. Luckily she was very understanding and patient as we got that figured out. Would definitely recommend her if you have a hard time finding trustworthy people to care for your dogs. We will be using her again.”


About: I mostly took care of the senior dogs and helped giving them all there medicine and making sure they are ok. But also took care of puppies and adult dogs too Right know I do have a job that’s part time so I’m only available on day that I’m off which is Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday but I am always willing to figure out what works for you My parents taught me if it’s not yours don’t touch it and be respectful in someone’s else’s house. But I’m a loving person that has a big heart for dogs

About: I've been around animals my entire life. From volunteering at shelters, working with my local strays, to pet sitting for friends and family, I'm well equipped with the experience needed to care for all manner of furry companions. I am a college student taking online classes, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available for any care at any time Friday-Sunday. As for other parts of the week, I am flexible and would love to discussing scheduling to provide the best care for your pet's needs. I currently have three cats and two dogs. Alongside routine care, they all receive ample play time and cuddles (and perhaps a treat or two.) Tending to them is a natural and fulfilling part of my routine and I love them all dearly. When I get to a client's home, it's important that I take the same thoughtful approach when weaving their animals into my day-to-day schedule. I'll treat them as if they're my own, with attentiveness and care

About: Growing up with border collies, I’ve always been an active dog person. As an adult, I’ve owned an Aussie and a golden, so fetch and long walks are my speciality. Weekend and holidays work best for me. I work full time away from home during the week. I prefer to board dogs over the weekend or holiday to give your dog my fullest attention. I have a fenced in yard with a tall fence and a very friendly 1 year old golden retriever. I have no issues with dogs getting on the furniture and having full access of the house and yard.

About: I, Clinique, have been raising animals since I was 8, growing up with around 15 pets alongside my family. Since moving to Virginia, the smallest number I've cared for at once has been two cats. My strength lies in building bonds through play and applying hands-on training techniques, especially inspired by the work I’ve done with my husky, Milio. My husband, Joseph, grew up with two cats and developed a deep sense of responsibility through caring for them. His specialty is general pet care he’s patient, attentive, and always tuned in to an animal’s needs, whether it’s daily routines or just making them feel safe and loved. Pet care is my daily routine. I do this full-time, so your pet gets my full attention. My schedule’s built around walks, feedings, playtime, and cuddles. Being available and reliable is huge for us, so you’ll never have to wonder if your pet is loved and cared for, they always are. We care for pets like they’re our family. We love cuddling, we love them on beds and furniture and most importantly we love positive reinforcement. We are consistent on any routine you set in your home or our. When we're in your home, respect will be given and rules followed.

Avary G.
“Avary has watched our fur babies on multiple occasions. We have dogs and cats and I completely trust her with them. I love the photos she takes. Our 3 cats are not super trusting vit Avary has taken her time with them and they don't hide anymore. The dogs are always happy to see her. Knowing she is watching them definitely makes leaving them at home less stressful.”


Emma W.
“I’ve known Emma for a couple of years now, and when she’s caring for my dog, I feel completely at ease. That says a lot coming from me—I’m very selective about who I trust with my pets. But with Emma, I have complete confidence. She’s calm, patient, and her genuine love for animals is apparent. Emma is dependable and communicates consistently. She sends regular updates with photos and videos, which gives me so much peace of mind. She’s also provided drop-in care for my cat and has never missed a visit. I can always count on her to show up and follow through with every detail, and send an update after each visit. She makes sure my dog gets plenty of outdoor time—whether it’s long walks or playtime in her yard. Her own dog is sweet and playful, and the two of them get along beautifully. They love chasing each other around and wrestling, which is always a joy to see. I’ve relied Emma with both short visits and extended stays, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, attentive, and truly cares for your pets as if they were her own, Emma is that person.”


Joseph F.
“As someone who’s worked with Kuru training Millio (husky, 6 months), I’ve seen her pick up his quirks quickly, adjust her approach effortlessly, and always keep him comfortable and secure. She’s practical, considerate, and genuinely invested in each pet’s well-being. I trust her to deliver reliable, loving care every time.”
Mercury Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alex did an amazing job taking care of our 3 dogs and 2 cats while staying at our home. She sent photos and videos every day, gave the dogs their pills without issue, and kept the house super clean. It was clear she truly loved our pets as she even shared little updates about their personalities and playtime, which made us feel so connected while we were away. We felt completely safe and at ease with her, and would absolutely book with Alex again!
