“This is our first time using Rover Drop-in Home Visit option and initially was not reluctant in doing so for many reasons. Ms Katherine right away scheduled a meet up beforehand with us and Chewie, without even us asking for it, before finalising our needs. She right away bonded with Chewie at the same time made us more reluctant in choosing our service option. We are very very fortunate to have Ms. Katherine take care of one of our family member, Chewie. Ms. Katherine made sure our needs are met, and most specially Chewie’s needs and wants. She treated Chewie as her own, going above and beyond expectations. She also communicated as much to keep us updated. Even though we only chose the Drop-In Home service option, we would definitely make her our priority and first choice, if needed, to take care of Chewie both as drop-in visit, boarding, or other care needs. We appreciate Ms Katherine and most definitely pleasure to have found and meet her. We highly recommended Ms Katherine from our family.”
“Anahi was great with our pup, took cute pictures and sent updates regarding the drop-in visits and how everything was going! She was communicative and prompt, and is super sweet! Thank you again Anahi! We know Minshew is excited to see you again 😊”
“Thank you for being so amazing! I appreciate your quick help. I will add you to my favorite list.”
About: I grew up in a house where we always had pets. I have 10+ years of experience caring for animals starting with my own 2 pups I have helped raise since I was 10! One of which lived to be 15 years old. I have experience caring for senior cats, large breed dogs, puppies, a bunny, and even some chickens! Whether it’s going for a walk or just keeping your pet company, I treat any pet like family. Big or small, young or senior. I hope you can consider helping me get started on the Rover app! I’m currently volunteering in a research lab as I prepare for graduate school, which gives me a flexible weekly schedule. This allows me to dedicate focused, reliable care to the pets I work with. I’m happy to adjust my availability week to week to best support you and your pet’s needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet safe and calm, you know them best! I am committed to building trust through clear communication and dependable care.
About: Hi ya! I've been a pet owner since I was a little kid. I've been around all different breeds, sizes and ages, and have yet to meet a doggy I didn't like. I currently work remotely in a spacious clean apartment. Although I don't have my own companion at the moment, I am able to spend time assisting others with their pet's needs. I think the most important thing is that these family members feel loved and get the attention they deserve. Thank you! I work from home in a project based job. I can work from anywhere as long as my laptop can come along. It’s just me on my own for most of the day so I have plenty of time to step away and keep an eye on any furry friends. I live in a second story apartment with a small patio. For the most part, pets would remain inside supervised. On walks, this small community has plenty of yardage, away from busy streets and high traffic areas.
“She was amazing with my dog patient, kind, and went above and beyond to make my dog comfortable. Really appreciate her care! Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, I’ve always loved taking care of them and currently my partner and I have two cats and an elderly dog. I have taken care of both cats and dogs with medical needs in the past, and am comfortable with medication admin for both. I love all animals and would love to hang out with yours!! I work 3 days a week so I’m available at all kinds of weird hours for walks or drop ins! Unfortunately I cannot board animals in my home at this time but am flexible and able to come to you. If I'm off work, I am typically free at all hours of the day. I’ll play with your kitties in the home and take your dogs on walks all over the neighborhood! I also am open to taking them to dog parks if that is something you are interested in. I will ensure that your pet is comfortable and safe always.
“She did fantastic! Was very polite and respectful, and I know my dogs had a great time with her. Would 10/10 book again!”
About: Ever since I was young, my love for animals has been unwavering, and that passion continues to define me as an adult. I've always been the go-to person among my family and friends whenever they needed a pet sitter or extra assistance. It wasn't until recently, when a friend referred me to Rover, that I decided to officially extend my help beyond my immediate circle. I do work a full time job, although I work remote and my job is very flexible I’m more focused on Rover on weekends, Friday through Sunday as of right now. I am able to host your pet. I live in a pet friendly apartment. I’m a homebody that enjoys time out in nature. Pet is able to roam comfortably in my home, but if you’d like to use a crate for training purposes that’s ok too.
About: I have a wide range of experiences and skills ranging from puppies and kittens to senior dogs that need medication and reptiles that need constant humidity. I am a professional house and pet sitter as my main source of income so I'm available to dedicate as much time as needed to your pets and furry family members. This is what I do! I watch pets and homes 24/7/365. Never hesitate to reach out for last minute needs or extended stays in your home with or without defined end dates. I do not host at my home but prefer to meet animals where they are most comfortable. I'm also very open to minor house cleaning and/repair requests if it is within my capacity.
About: Calm, patient, and attentive to feline behavior. I respect their space, earn their trust, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free from anything. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine—I stay active, enjoy spending time with animals, and always make time to give them full attention and love. In my home or a client’s, I create a safe, calm, and clean environment. I follow routines closely, give constant attention, playtime, and always ensure pets feel loved, secure, and stress-free.
About: I’ve lived on a farm since I was 11. I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies along with many other animals. I raised multiple litters of newborn puppies and their mothers. I’ve cared for them in many ways. I’ve also worked at a doggy day care and boarding facility and have experience with taking care of many dogs of different sizes and ages. I’m walking dogs and doing dog sitting as a side job now while I attend school. I assure you I have plenty of experience taking care of these wonderful fur babies. I’m currently going to school. I take night classes and need something that is flexible with my schedule. I already walk dogs and do dog sitting through another app called wag. It’s perfect for me cause I can focus on school without being worried about being tied down to a schedule since I’m able to make my own schedule. I also need more services so I thought doing 2 apps at a time might bring more income. I let them out every 2-4 hours to go potty or as needed or instructed my owner. I feed them based off their eating schedule and how many time a day they eat. I take them out for walks and to play with them outside frequently. If the parent need me to do anything else for their pups I’m more than happy to do so.
About: Took some time off Rover but I am back and so excited to be back! My whole life I grew up with dogs, very big dog lover. I live right by many dog parks and trails & I have my own car so I am able to get to places on time and safely. I like going out and exploring new trails and parks, so your dog would never get bored of staying in. Your dog will get full attention, belly rubs, fetching games, and will be very good taken care of! I will watch your dog and take care of your dog like if they were my own. If your dog and I are a great match than I am always willing to do a re-book! I am currently full time with Rover so I am available weekdays and weekends. Which is really nice because this allows me to give your pet the full care and attention they need. For in-home boarding, I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment. They get plenty of attention, exercise, and follow their regular feeding and medication schedules. For visits to a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I also keep clients updated with messages and photos to ensure peace of mind.
About: Over 2 years I’ve spent years caring for family members’ dogs, including pups with special needs and even those who were sick or recovering. I treat every dog like family — making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walks, meds, or just lots of cuddles, I give each dog the attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m flexible and committed, making time every day for walks, feedings, playtime, and any specific care needs. Whether it’s early mornings or late evenings, I make sure pets get the attention and care they need throughout the day. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where safety always comes first. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I follow any special instructions, keep routines consistent, and always supervise outdoor time. I build trust through gentle handling, clear communication, and lots of love and patience.

I live in an apartment, but have no issues watching pets in your home! I could take in cats, but dogs might feel a bit cramped in my one bedroom apartment
“Quick to respond when I had a last minute errand, my pup loved her!”
About: I have experience taking care of my own dogs. I had two growing up but one of them passed away at 9 years of age and the other at 13. I currently own and take care of my chihuahua of 8 years.

I am very flexible and adaptable with any pets' needs. I am very active so I can keep up with even the most energetic pets. Plus, I try my best to always accommodate the pet's needs first and I make sure to treat all pets with respect and compassion. I know how much pets can mean to us and I am very passionate about working with animals because I know they deserve the best life on this earth.

Mariah M.
“Mariah is a very sweet girl lady who is always reliable and professional when it comes to taking out our dog for walks. She even house sits for full weekends whenever we go away for vacation, and always does a great job and is very good with communication.”
Irania N.
“Irania will be an amazing dog sitter and any dog will be lucky to be under her care. She is an extremely kind, dedicated, and responsible young lady. For as long as I can remember I have always seen Irania caring for a pet. She seems very comfortable with animals and knows how to attend to their needs...and the pups love her! From a very young age she was responsible for pets. Given that she is the youngest in her family the pets always became her responsibility. She would play with them, walk them, groom them, and cuddle with them at night. Her last dog was literally obsessed with her. He would refuse to let anybody get on her bed besides him and he would attempt to run away from home when Irania was at school. Aside from caring for her pets, Irania would also manage to care for her family. She has helped raise her 8 year old nephew from the moment he was born and he absolutely adores her. She is a very responsible and caring person and any pet (or child) would be lucky to have her as a sitter.”
Valarie P.
“Valarie consistently goes above and beyond to ensure her two beautiful dogs are well taken care of, and I have no doubt that your pet will receive the same love and attention when in her care. With her dedication and nurturing spirit, your pet will be nothing but loved and pampered. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to look after your pet, Valarie would be an excellent choice!”

Samantha G.
“Whenever I need to leave town to visit family back home, Sam is always my first choice to dog sit my two chihuahuas. Chihuahuas can be a handful to look after, especially my two thirteen year olds. She was very dependable, keeping the dogs on their feeding schedule, taking them out to use the bathroom and play in the grass, and took them both on regular walks. My dogs absolutely loved her and are very excited whenever she comes over. She is very kind and loving to animals and a natural caregiver.”

On time and super efficient! She’s very friendly, and our pups absolutely love her. Highly recommend!
Paige was great watching our two dogs while we were away. She was on time and gave us nice updates throughout the visit. We will definitely book her again in the future. Thanks Paige!
Elizabeth was so amazing! Responsive, flexible, on time, great communication. I have a senior pup who is blind and requires patience. Elizabeth was great with her and sent such detailed updates. Would 100% book again for my pets when I'm out of town.
Francis was an amazing cat sitter! She was great at communicating with me and keeping me updated on how my kitties were doing while I was away with pictures & videos. My kitties warmed up to her quickly!! Would highly recommend using Francis!
Stephanie is amazing. She is very attentive and caring when watching my dog and provides great communication throughout the day with lots of updates and photos. My dog is getting older and she also helped to be sure he received all his medications as prescribed. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, safe and well taken care while I was away and I could not be more grateful! I will absolutely be using Stephanie again in the future!
Viktoriia is so great! She’s wonderful with communication and always sends updates as soon as she gets to your home for a check in. Highly recommend!
I’ve had Jason drop in on my cat twice now, he’s very reliable and communicative. I get lots of pictures and confirmation that all of my cat’s needs(and wants!) are taken care of. My place is left in great shape and my cat is content. Thank you again!
Savannah is incredible! We have three cats, one has diabetes and she ensured he had his medications promptly. She came twice a day to feed and play with our babies while we were out of the country. It was wonderful to not stress at all while being on vacation, we had the best caretaker for our cats! She sent so many photos, which I loved and gave them ample play time. Our cats can get stressed when we leave and act out but there was zero stress this time for them. Our home looked better than when we left - cat boxes immaculate, no hairballs/vomit/potty accidents and kitties bowls cleaned after each feeding. I cannot recommend Savannah enough!! Ten stars, we will be booking for future trips with Savannah. Thank you for giving them so much love and attention 💞😻🙏🏽
Bianca loved my cats as if they were her own. Always sent us updates and photos. She played with them and gave them cuddles. I highly recommend her!
Jalyssa was great with our Charlie! She came in twice a day for drop in visits to feed our dog and to go on walks to potty. She administered medicine to our dog who was fighting a cough. She was very responsive. We really liked her and even booked her a second time during the holidays. Would love to have her back in the future.
