“I highly recommend Jenni L. She and her partner Matt work together, and for this visit, Matt stayed with our beloved cat for several days. I cannot say enough about how reassuring it was to hear from him and see the pictures and videos that he sent of our cat and of the two of them together. Clearly, she loved him and felt very comfortable with him. We will definitely hire them again!”


About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and cats, and now having two rescue dogs of my own, I just can't imagine life without them. I haven't used Rover before, but I've spent years watching friends' dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. I've raised puppies, cared for kittens, and even handled medications when needed, so I'm no stranger to what animals need to feel safe and loved. I come to your home so your babies can stay in their own space, in their own routine. Every animal is different and I take the time to get to know them. Big or small, they all get the same gentle, attentive care. I just genuinely love animals, and that's something you'll see the moment I meet your pet. I'm always happy to set up a meet-up before booking so we can connect, your pet can get comfortable with me, and we can make sure it feels like the right fit for everyone I recently graduated from Arcadia University with my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies. While I study for my boards and prepare to move back home to Washington, I have time on my hands and want to spend it doing something I truly enjoy. Right now my days are completely open, which means your dog gets my full attention. No rushing off, no squeezing them in between a busy schedule. I'm there as long as they need me. As the mom of two very needy rescue dogs, I completely understand wanting your babies to have someone around as much as possible, and right now, I'm in a position to give exactly that! Since I will be in your home, my first priority is to respect whatever routine and rules you have in place for your pet. I am happy to provide as much or as little entertainment, snuggles, or space as your fur baby needs. When it comes to walks, I'm no stranger to dogs that pull on the leash or get reactive around other dogs. I've handled strong, reactive animals before and I feel confident and calm managing them.
“Shannon is the absolute GREATEST! She’s professional, communicative and took amazing care of our animals. She’s not our first Rover but I'm hoping she’ll be our last! I am so relieved we found her and will always be our go to for when we need our pets looked after. 11/10. Thank you Shannon!”


“Teresa is simply great. She cared for our dogs, gave them medicine, and sent frequent updates, including photos. She clearly cares about and understands dogs. Cannot wait to use her again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young. Growing up with new foster puppies every week, I learned how to house-train young puppies and keep them out of trouble. I love spending time with pets and have really enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family! I just graduated from NC State University this May and am taking this summer off from work before beginning my PhD program this fall. This means I will have a of availability to spend time with your pets and provide them with the attention they deserve. I will be available for home visits at your desired frequency and duration so that your pets get the attention and play time they need.
“Kelli was wonderful, and she took excellent care of Piper! We've never had someone dogsit at our home, but she made us feel completely at ease. She was always very responsive when communicating, and she sent regular updates and pictures, which we loved. We look forward the next time we can work with her!”

“Our fur babies loved her! Julia stayed at our house for a week to watch our two dogs and cat. We did a meet and greet in our home about a month prior to our trip and immediately knew that she would be perfect. We also felt that we could trust her and liked that she was thorough and asked many questions. We will definitely be asking her to pet sit for us again and would highly recommend her to anyone in our area.”


About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for pets for years, including raising my own dog since he was a puppy. I’m very involved in his daily care, including feeding, walks, routines, giving lots of attention, and helping manage medical needs when needed. Because of this, I understand how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m also very comfortable with cats and enjoy spending time with different personalities, whether they’re playful, shy, energetic, or need extra comfort and care. I’ll always treat pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated high school and will be starting college soon, so I have a very open and flexible schedule this summer! I do work part-time, but outside of my work schedule I’m available most days and have plenty of time to give pets attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. Since I don’t have many major summer plans, I’m happy to be flexible and work around your pet’s needs and routine. Since I will be caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to help them feel as comfortable, safe, and stress-free as possible by sticking to their normal routine. I’m very attentive to instructions and will make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, feeding, potty breaks, and affection they need while you’re away. I also have hands-on experience with crate training through my own dog, who is crate trained and comfortably sleeps in his crate when prompted. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making pets feel secure in their environment. I will always treat your home and pets with respect and care as if they were my own.

“Renee was awesome! Super prompt, easy to communicate with, and really detail-oriented. She took great care of both my home and pup, and everything looked exactly the same as when I left. I’ll definitely be booking her again”


About: Hi my name is Rachel i’m 21 years old looking for pet owners who need pet assistance. I’m currently studying business at del tech community college and i’m a third year. I have babysat dogs and cats before and overnight sat as well. I enjoy being around animals they make me happy. I also own a doggie named Teddy of my own he’s 6 years old and he’s a shitzu. Caring for a pet requires consistency, time management, and attention to their physical and emotional needs. Depending on the type of pet, daily tasks may include feeding, providing fresh water, exercising, grooming, cleaning living spaces, and monitoring health and behavior. I walk my dog Teddy, a shitzu everyday twice and he doesn’t have an open yard. Caring for pets at a clients home depend on the space and environment.
“This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone outside of my family for a trip. I and my pups (especially Papas) were nervous. However, Rachel was super understanding and patient! She consistently communicated throughout the entire process. Eventually my pups were feeling more comfortable which was super helpful as I had multiple flights canceled due to a snow storm. Thankfully, Rachel was gracious enough to extend her stay! I felt such an ease of mind knowing that my animals were safe and sound with her especially during a snow storm. Would definitely recommend and utilize again!”
About: I love animals and animals have been apart of my life since the day I was born. I am very trusting and loving person. I have been dog sitting and walking for a couple years now. I have dogs of my own so I’m always taking care of them and walking them everyday, even going on hikes. I have always taken care of animals my whole life. I have a big backyard so I’m always trying to run them. Every summer we always go on hikes with them as well. They love it.
“Taylor was amazing. I went away for the weekend and have literally never left my dog without anyone but family before. I was so nervous. But Taylor came over for a meet and great before and gave me complete confidence. I was able to enjoy my weekend without worrying about my dog or what was going on at home. She even got my pup out of the apartment when the fire alarm suddenly went off! So sad she is leaving the area after graduation or I would definitely book her again!”


About: I have lived with cats my entire life, all 34 years. As well as had a dog of my own for 7 years from the time he was 3 months old.

“Michaela took excellent care of my dog and cat while we were away. She took the time to meet us beforehand, provided thorough updates and we came home to happy pets and a clean apartment. Thank you, Michaela! Highly recommend!”


“Macey was MORE than we expected for our furbaby! Went the extra mile every day, sending frequent photo check ins and stayed in contact with us regularly. Our pup absolutely loved her, and we’ll be booking again soon! A+ 5 Star service is what you’ll get when you book with Macey! Can’t recommend her services and true professionalism enough! Thank you, Macey for putting our mind at ease knowing our furbaby was in the right hands!!”

“Best experience, she above and beyond. recommended 100%. will have no problem going away again as long as Dalynn is available. she made our week away and fury friend stress free. great communication.”

“Matthew took good care of our very large, reactive dog while we were away. He sent us photos daily and was good at communicating if he had any questions. We will definitely be asking Matthew to watch our pup next time we go away.”

North Star pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jenna was amazing with both of my cats. She sent amazing updates and pictures throughout her stay. My cats are very shy and typically will not come out for strangers, however they felt super comfortable with Jenna and were letting her pet them by day 2! I plan on using Jenna again and highly recommend her.

We were so lucky to find Mikayla at the last minute for an overnight stay at our home. She’s very responsive and agreed to meeting with us and our anxious/high maintenance dog before booking. Upon meeting her, we felt very comfortable -she has a very kind and warm demeanor and took our laundry list of instructions in stride. While we were gone she was very communicative and sent pics of our pup. She was also very flexible as we unexpectedly had to cut our trip short by 2 days. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips-we are so happy to have found her!
Mackenzie took great care of our dog Frank! She was willing to come to our home to meet Frank ahead of time, since he can sometimes take some time to warm up to new people. She stayed overnight with Frank and provided us with updates when she arrived and left! She gave us helpful feedback for how Frank behaved, and we would love to rebook with her in the future.

Heidi was wonderful with JoJo last Friday, as she always has been. She is caring, attentive to his needs, detail oriented and keeps us posted on how he is doing. JoJo responds enthusiastically to her attention and care. We enjoyed an evening away from home with no concerns knowing JoJo was well cared for.

Savannah was amazing! My cats are very skittish and shy, with my older cat usually hiding under the bed for strangers, but Savannah had them out and eating on day 1! Very attentive and gave great updates along with pictures. Didn't have to worry about my cats at all because I knew they were left in great hands! Will definitely use Savannah again!
