“Would HIGHLY recommend Leah for any of your Rover needs! She is very responsive to messages and you can feel comfortable leaving your fur babies in her care. You can tell she genuinely LOVES animals and she loved on our babies like they were her own! Will continue to book Leah as long as she is available!”

“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!”

“Karla is the absolute best with our boys! She was constantly updating us and sending pictures, we also came back to a clean house! Thank you so much for taking care of our babies, you will definitely be the only one to watch them in the future! Highly recommend!! 🐾”

“Anna did a great job taking care of our Riley. Let us know when she arrived and left and sent updates and pics throughout the visit. Enjoyed our trip so much more knowing Riley was in such good care🤎”

“Jenna was very accommodating to our last minute need for a sitter. We have two fairly large dogs and she got a long great with both! She was punctual and sent photos daily. I would absolutely use Jenna again.”

About: I have my own pup who is now 4 years old and I started out as a pet sitter for my neighbor for a good couple of years. I have experience with senior as well as small dogs. I am experienced with cats as well, as my neighbor used to have a cat too! I just recently took on a new client with two small dogs. I have plenty of experience on Rover as well with more then 11 clients and counting! I love pets and I am always available for you and your pet's need, just let me know when you need me! I can leash walk your dog, play with them off leash in an enclosed area, feed them, crate them, or just hang out and cuddle. I work part time a couple days a week but animals are a true passion of mine and i always have time for pet in need of service I make sure that the clients home looks just as good as it did before when I leave. I like to make sure that after a long vacation a client comes home and the last thing on their mind is their pet! I’ve got everything covered and your pet will always be in great hands!
“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!”

“Sierra was an absolute PRO with our dogs and saved the holidays for our family! ❤️ Upon our meet and greet, it was instantly apparent that Sierra knew what she was doing, was completely confident, and so loving with our 2 fur babies! We have a bit of an unconventional and difficult situation with our dogs that causes a lot of stress when it comes to traveling or going anywhere overnight without having someone trustworthy enough to stay in our home with them and maintain their routine. Sierra followed everything to a T and even smoothly navigated through various hiccups without ever causing us to worry or shift focus from our family trip. Not only that, but she's a wonderful house guest and took such great care of the whole home! We returned to a clean home and happy, safe pups ❤️ and could not be more grateful!! Thank you so much, Sierra- we are so happy to have found you!”

“Ehlaura was wonderful! Kept us updated during the stay and we came home to happy and healthy boys which is our number one priority. Already have Ehlaura booked for a future sitting!”

“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.”

“This was our first time having a dog sitter stay in our house and watch our babies and Michelle exceeded our expectations! She provided us with updates and photos throughout the day and truly eased our minds while we were away for our wedding weekend. We will definitely be using Michelle again anytime we are out of town. We knew the dogs felt comfortable with her bc they don’t usually sleep with my mom when she house sits, but they slept with Michelle after one night of her being there. If that doesn’t say something about how they felt idk what does!”

“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!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my energy as a young college student who truly enjoys spending time with them. I have a soft spot for both playful puppies and sweet senior pets, and I’m patient, attentive, and gentle with every animal I care for. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn good habits or making sure an older dog is comfortable on slow walks, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work in the evenings from 4–7 PM, so I have plenty of free time during the mornings and early afternoons to give pets the attention, exercise, and playtime they need. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle session, or feeding time, I’m flexible and happy to adjust to your pet’s schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, play, and any special instructions. I keep the environment clean, safe, and calm, and I always give pets plenty of love and attention so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a cozy, pet-friendly space with room to play, rest, and feel at ease. I treat every pet like family and make sure their physical and emotional needs are met every day.
About: I have watched and owned Cats and Dogs since I was 10. I love and treat fur babies like they are a member of the family! I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals! My schedule can be somewhat flexible, so I can work with you to meet your pets needs. I can not bring animals to my own home, but I am able to come over to watch yours. I can easily crate your animals and have them out with me if that is what you prefer.
“Keyana was amazing! She really took the time to get to know my cat and just took the best pictures of him while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to watch your sweet babies, I would ask her again in a heart beat.”

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.
“Breeona was the Perfect furbaby sitter for my Bubba boy. He's an old soul so needs a little special care. She brushed him, spent quality time and I was thrilled to come home to a clean house! 5stars!”

About: I've cared for dogs all my life and have done pet sitting for multiple coworkers and family members over the years. I am comfortable with multiple dogs, large and small breeds, and high-drive breeds. I have knowledge in pet first aid and am comfortable with medication administration. I pride myself in making sure your pet is safe, happy, and comfortable! I follow detailed instructions on pet care and respect the home. Open to early walks and have good stamina for high-energy activities (like hiking, jogging, or long walks). Love doing basic grooming if your pet needs it (bath, brushing, detangling) with the exception of nail cutting. I am patient, caring, and friendly, and am comfortable with nervous/anxious pets. Provide frequent and daily pictures/updates of your pet. I am currently a full-time night shift nursing student with no other obligations. My schedule is open 24/7, weekdays and weekends (except Monday and Wednesday from 5-10:30 pm). I am open to early walks/sits and late nights as long as it's not a school night. I have a 70-pound Aussie/Pyrenees dog named Mochi and a short-haired tabby cat named Piper. I have a big open yard, a large 8-panel steel play pen, multiple leashes and positive reinforcement tools (clickers and treats), and enrichment toys for them. Mochi suffers from pancreatitis, so she gets a special diet low in fat and high in protein. I've nailed her diet and she's doing great!
Mercury Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
Thank goodness we found Kynleigh when we did! Kynleigh went above and beyond to make our five year old, often a handful, labradoodle, comfortable (and happy :) while we were gone. She sent pictures and videos every day and we even came home to a clean home and sheets-- thank you, Kynleigh! We will be using her next time and feel fortunate we now can!

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!
