“Carolann is an amazing person. We have a puppy who has taken to her quickly. She is beyond patient and caring. She is one of the kindest people i have met. It has been great to have someone trustworthy to be in our home and care for our fur baby. She has made our hectic schedule manageable. Truly a blessing!”

“We had a fantastic experience with Katie while she cared for our dog Gary and cat Barley during a 2-night trip. She stayed at our home and made the whole process completely stress-free. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated regularly and sent adorable photos of both pets, which we really appreciated. It was clear they were happy and comfortable in her care. We came home to a clean house and two very content animals. We’d absolutely book with Katie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”

“Alexandria was a phenomenal pet sitter! We felt completely at ease and were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our animals were in such good hands. She cared for them as if they were her own—attentive, playful, and always keeping our dog company. It’s clear our pets love her and feel comfortable around her. We’ll absolutely hire her again for any future travel!”
“First time using Rover to find a reliable person to house sit my pups. I’m so thankful for Ryan and this app! She spent time with me before our trip to learn about my pups and their daily routines. We came home to our surprise that Ryan stayed until we got home and talked to us about the pups adventures:). She stayed in contact with me during our trip and kept us informed about them. She was also easy to get ahold of. She is a warm and kind soul and truly cared for our pups. Will definitely ask her again in the future to watch our pups!”

About: I’ve grown up helping take care of my families dogs since I was child, I have been dog sitting since 2019, and I have been working at a dog daycare since October 2022. I can give daily walks, I know how to give insulin, I can give medications if needed. I like to get to know your dog/s individually so I can match their energy and daily needs. I am currently working full-time but I am also willing to request off if given at least a week and a half notice in order to give a more in-depth care for your pet. I can do boarding both on weekdays and weekends! I take them for frequent potty breaks, I take them on daily walks, play time with their toys, I give cuddle time if they are one for it. If they’re a bit on the shyer side, I do what they are comfortable with so I don’t stress or overwhelm them.
“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our 3 fur babies while we were gone. She kept in contact with us everyday when she was leaving and returning as well as some adorable pictures of them all snuggling together while watching a movie. Lindsey left everything the way she found it and took great care of everything in our home as well. The pups were very happy when we returned home and were not stressed out at all. We will definitely use Lindsey again and highly recommend her.❤️”
About: With a lifetime of experience growing up with dogs and over a year working at a doggy daycare, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the unique needs and personalities of all kinds of pets. I’ve fostered dogs of various breeds and temperaments, learning how to offer personalized care and help them thrive in new environments. As a current cat parent to two playful kittens and the proud owner of a senior dog, I'm experienced in caring for pets at all life stages—from high energy puppies to older dogs who need extra TLC. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, playtime, or just cuddling up for a quiet companionship, I’m committed to providing a loving, safe, and engaging experience for your pets while you’re away. I take pride in creating an stress-free environment, making sure every pet feels like part of the family! • Monday & Tuesday: I work 8am to 4pm. During these days, I’m available in the mornings before work or in the evenings after 4pm for pet care, walks, or feeding. • Wednesday & Thursdays: I work from 10am to 6pm. I’m available early in the morning before work, and in the evening after 6pm. • Fridays: I work from 3pm to 9pm. I have the entire morning and early afternoon available to care for your pets, plus late evening after my shift ends. • Weekends: I’m off Saturdays and Sundays, so I have all day to offer full-time care, walks, playtime, and overnight stays if needed. During my free time, I’m happy to accommodate drop-ins, dog walks, and overnight stays, ensuring that your pet gets the attention and exercise they need. I’m also available for pet sitting or providing companionship when you’re out for a long period, making sure you’re pet feels loved and safe while you’re away. Growing up, I had the privilege of fostering dogs, which gave me a deep understanding of how to care for pets in transition, adapting to their individual needs, and helping them feel comfortable in a new environment. At home, I follow a structured yet flexible routine to ensure both my playful kittens and my senior dog feel safe, happy, and well-cared for. My kittens have daily playtime with interactive toys, cuddle sessions, and a consistent feeding and litter box routine to keep them comfortable. For my senior dog, I focus on gentle walks, light playtime. I also keep close eye on her health and managing any medication she is taking. With my experience working at a doggy daycare for over a year, I’ve learned to care for pets of all energy levels and personalities. I’ve handled everything from puppies needing lots of play and socialization to older dogs who need a calm and comfortable environment. This experience has given me the skills to manage multiple pats at once, create positive routines, and ensure each pet’s needs are met. When caring for your pets, I’ll offer the same dedication and attention to routine. Whether your pets are young, active, or senior and more relaxed, I’ll adapt their care to ensure they feel secure, loved, and at ease while you’re away. From feeding to walks, playtime, and meditation administration, your pet’s well-being will always be my top priority.
“Ava was absolutely amazing for an entire 7 days with our two dogs! We have an elderly boxer who has some trouble walking around and she took great care of her. They both seemed extremely happy when we got back and Ava was attentive the whole time sending us updates and photos. We’ll be reaching out again!”
About: I have lots of patience and lots of love to give to animals! I’m detail oriented and have good intent to ensure your furry family members are taken care of. I am currently waiting to go to school, and have a whole gap year. I have LOTS of time to share and give and help where i can! I have my own cat, and am very cautious with her. I would treat others furry pets like my own, with love and care and make sure they have what they need. In a clients home especially, i am very respectful of space!

Murphy pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alicia truly is a Super Star Sitter. Right from my first contacts with her everything went so smoothly for me. She was a big help getting me started with using the app but by far her work as a sitter for my two dogs was phenomenal. Along with all the many small things that are so important with watching our dogs. I will be booking her again just as soon as I can. She is awesome. Thank you.
Abby is great! My dogs are a little skeptical of people they don’t know but accepted Abby pretty quickly. This is the second time I have used her to house sit and have been very happy with her. She is friendly, reliable and respects your property. I would highly recommend her.
