“We had Ashlyn stay at our house while we were out of town for a week. She took great care of our pup and kitty while we were gone! It was wonderful getting the photo updates and so nice to not stress out our animals by kenneling them. Everyone was so much happier (including us!) to have Ashlyn house/pet sit. We will be booking again for sure!”

“I would recommend Madison to anyone! She is amazing - super communicative, great care for our two dogs, also nice to have in our home. She went above and beyond for our dog that was on medicine and had to wear a cone during her stay.”

“Austin was a great sitter and house guest. He was consistent with sending us updates and photos and made sure our dog was comfortable while we were out of town. He was respectful of our home and left it nice and clean. Will be booking again!”

About: I have been caring for my pets as well as the pets of friends and family for over 30 years. In addition, I have volunteered at an animal shelter for five years. I am very compassionate and experienced with young pets through seniors - both dogs and cats. I am also experienced with differently abled pets (aka disabled) as we had a partially paralyzed dog ourselves. I am comfortable with administering oral and subcutaneous medication as needed. I pride myself on attention to detail. I am currently a stay-at-home wife, and mom of a teenager, as well as one in the military, so my schedule is VERY flexible. I can help you out, morning, day, or night as well as during the week or on the weekends. I will care for your pets with love and compassion just as I do my own while following your directions and expectations. I am comfortable with crating pets as well as free-roam pets.
“Savannah’s great and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again for our pet service requests! She’s punctual, respectful and asked all the right questions at the meet and greet. No doubt our dogs were in good hands with Savannah.”
“Angelica was great with our pups and our home. Excellent messages/updates/pictures. Walks were good exercise, not just a quick walk for them to pee. We’re looking forward to having her back.”

“Jennifer is a true blessing. She handled taking care of my girls with the same love and care I would have, and then some. She has a genuine passion for animals and goes above and beyond to ensure their well-being. Not only did she take care of my house, but she also stayed calm and composed during a potential dangerous storm. Jennifer is a professional, caring, extremely responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again.”

“Can't recommend Bridget and Stephen enough! They took such great care of my large, stubborn, fluff ball of a dog. They sent regular updates and pictures during Cooper's time with them, which was awesome. During Cooper's visit he had an upset belly and I completely trusted their judgement on how to handle it. Would love for them to take care of Cooper again!”

“Meghan was great! She housesat for us for a few days and did a great job taking care of our three dogs. They can be quite a handful and also require some medication daily. She did a great job communicating and sent plenty of updates. She took great care of our home as well! We will definitely use Meghan again!”

“Kai took great care of our pups while we were away. They both warmed to her quickly and they got along great. They were regularly fed, taken outside, and played with. We received pictures each day as well. Kai was accessible by both text and voice when we did our daily check-in.”


“Grace was right on time for our meet and greet, and she took excellent care of our five dogs and our home for several days! She sent several pics daily, stayed in communication about how they were doing, and the house was tidy when we returned. We’ll absolutely ask her to watch our pups again!”
“Nyah was absolutely wonderful with our baby. She stayed in our home and left everything in impeccable condition. She was communicative and very accommodating when our travel back home was delayed by the airline. She spent extra time with Zuri so that we didn't have to worry about her as we were trying to figure out how to get home sooner. I would recommend her to anyone in need of someone kind, considerate and great with animals. Will definitely book with Nyah again.”

“Malia has been fantastic with our nervous shepherd, Selkie. I am very cautious about who I leave her with and Malia handled her fabulously, made sure she had the best time and keep us updated with photos the whole time we were away. It was super reassuring and so happy she could take care of her both times we have been away. Highly recommend and will 100% be calling upon her to pet sit for us in the future!”

“Ella took care of our 3 dogs (including a 10 week old puppy). Ella is super responsive and kept in touch! We came home to very happy dogs! Will ask her to care for our pups again!”

“Karen went beyond to make sure our babies were cared for while we were out of town! She even stayed a little longer when we unexpectedly had to return later than expected. We will continue to hire Karen! She has quickly become one of our dog’s favorite people!”

“Ashley was amazing with Harley. I could tell from the first meet and greet that Harley really liked her. She sent photos, took Harley on a walk and kept in contact the whole time. And, my house looked like I never left. I would definitely ask Ashley to keep Harley again.”

About: Hi, I’m Isa! I’ve grown up around animals and have always had dogs and cats in my life, so I have plenty of experience caring for them. I’m comfortable with both and really enjoy spending time with pets, whether that’s hanging out, playing, or just keeping them company. I do Rover outside of my full-time job because I love meeting new pets and it adds joy to my life :) 🌸 Outside of pet care, I like gaming, spending time outside when the weather’s nice, and being with my family. I’d love to help take care of your pet and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule can vary during the week since I do work, but I do have flexibility depending on the day and can often make time for pet care visits. I’m especially available on weekends and would be a great fit for weekend pet sitting or check-ins. During the week, I’m still available at times for things like letting dogs out, feeding cats, or stopping by for quick visits when needed. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets are taken care of. For me, safety, trust, and a calm environment are really important when caring for pets. I like to talk with owners beforehand to learn about their pet’s personality, routines, and any specific needs so I can provide the best care possible. I really see it as taking care of someone’s family member, so I make sure I understand everything I need to know before spending time with them. When I’m with pets, I always approach them calmly and patiently so they feel safe, comfortable, and understood.
“Jeni did a great job watching my little yorkie in my home. She asked all the right questions during our meet and greet to ensure she understood Clodagh’s particulars. She also kept me updated throughout the weekend on how Clodagh was doing. Both Clodagh and my home were in great condition when I got back.”

About: I have cared for friend's and family pets for the past 12 years, including my own. I love all dogs and care for all dogs as if they were my own. I work 6-4:30 Monday thru Thursday. I am off all weekends and Fridays and can easily make it around town to wherever you live to care for your pet. I will meet your pet where they are and keep up with any training or care you normally provide to ensure there is a seamless transition for when you return.
About: Have been taking care of dogs for the last 10 years - from the most relaxed/lazy dogs to hyperactive ones. Been a dog walker at a dog shelter for the last 6 months since moving to the area. I work full time but will be able to take care of dogs after work or over the weekends. Most holidays I am available (besides thanksgiving or Christmas - traveling home) I stay attentive while taking care of any dogs, especially on walks. I try to stay away from crowded areas, mainly because I don’t know what other people or animals will do. I usually try to spend much of my time with the dog and make sure they get enough exercise when I am with them.

Normal pet parents share their Rover experiences
We are repeat customers of Andrea's because our pets always look like they've had a vacation from us when we get back home. With a 15-year-old blind dog and a rambunctious sidekick, a greyhound, we have to find someone who cares about the quirks and needs of a special needs dog, and we feel very comfortable with her.
