“Cheyauna exceeded expectations! She was so communicative, she handled my 5 yr old and my puppy with extreme care and specific to their needs, and she even went above and beyond to come before the trip to meet and play with them for comfort. Anything that we asked she did that and more. Now that we have used Cheyauna we honestly couldn’t imagine going with anyone else in the future. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!”
“If I could leave Hannah more than 5 stars I certainly would. Hannah understood what the concerns were and she addressed them with me daily. This is the first time since Boots was diagnosed with diabetes that anyone other than myself has injected an insulin ,so turning this over was a little concerning. Turns out she is a pro. Not only did I hear that Boots got his insulin, but Hannah provided the dose which is different AM vs PM. She was also able to remove food and hide it for our other cat Cozie who eats slower and less than Boots. This was so helpful to know that Cozie wasn't being deprived of her food. I know it take a little time to watch them while they eat and move quickly to remove her food before Boots eats it. The communication on everything she did, fill the water fountain, clean the litter box, take in the mail was updated daily. She is a superstar in our eyes. I'm sure the software requires all the activities that Hannah performed to be put into the system, but she took the time to love them, play with them and be sure that they had stimulation while we were gone. Providing pictures and feedback on their activities was so comforting. I can't say enough good things about Hannah and Rover!!”
“Margaret is always great to work with. She sends us regular updates while we’re away and takes the time to give our cat some pets, even though he is often very difficult to find. We would definitely recommend her.”
About: Hello! I’m a stay at home mom with a lively 2 year old, and two big pups of my own! We have tons of time during the day for dogs walks or drop in visits. I’m a full-time stay at home mom, so besides our routine nap time (11-1), we have tons of time during the day to spend with your pup! I have a big fenced in backyard where we do lots of running around and playing with our dogs. We’re also a very active family and go on frequent walks throughout the day.
About: I grew up taking care of dogs, cats, horses and more. I have had my own family dogs over the years, Trooper for 16 years and Rusty for 14 years. I have cared for friend's dogs, big and small, and my grand dogs for a day or even 1 month. I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. I will do my best to maintain their schedules as well as training and discipline. I will treat them as my own with lots of love and affection, knowing they may miss their parents. I work from home so fitting pet care into my schedule is not an issue. I walked my own dogs every morning in the neighborhood or to the beach. Afternoon neighborhood walks or romps in the big backyard are often on the agenda. I have a single family, single story home with a fenced yard in a great neighborhood. I will treat your pet as my own, keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. I love animals and will take great care of your fur baby.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring both reliability and genuine care to every pet I work with. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, and I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and pets with unique personalities. I have my own 8-year-old chow-shepherd mix, so daily long walks, patience, and attentive care are already a huge part of my routine. I also have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of slower pacing, medication routines, mobility awareness, and extra comfort and patience. Whether your pet loves active walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply calm companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs and personality. I’m dependable, observant, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I already spend a lot of time walking and caring for my own dog every day. I genuinely enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and giving animals attention and care, so incorporating pet care into my weekly schedule is something I truly look forward to. I adapt my care to each pet’s individual routine and needs to help them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, giving medicine, potty breaks, check-ins, cuddle time, or simply providing calm companionship, I’m happy to do it all! I know how important consistency is for pets, so I always aim to follow the owner’s instructions closely while giving every animal plenty of attention, patience, and care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Jenilie did an incredible job with Mark! Her and her husband went above and beyond to take care of Mark especially when Mark was experiencing an upset stomach! They cleaned him up along with his kennel to ensure Mark had a clean space to rest in until we returned!
Stevie-Rae did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. I felt 100% confident that they were well taken care of. She sent pictures each day to show that they warmed up to her even though they are very, very shy around people they don’t know. I highly recommend her to you.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
