“Joann did great with a new client. My pups had a blast with her dropping in and she followed all instructions to the letter. Felt very secure having her coming to check on my goldens”


“Kristin was an amazing cat sitter! One of our cats was dealing with some health issues before we had left, Kristin was very attentive and was there twice a day to give him his medicine. Very detailed updates and tons of cute pictures! We truly feel like she cared for our cats like they were her own. 10/10 recommend!”


“I procrastinated and needed a last minute a pet sitter for my cat during the holidays. Annemarie was really accommodating to my needs on such a short notice, willing to even do a meet and greet on the day of booking since I had to leave the next day. Overall, Annemarie is a wonderful and trustworthy person who will send update pictures and videos of your four-legged best friend while following the notes you left to a T. Definitely recommend.”


“Alexander was absolutely wonderful. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous at first. I have a Great Dane and she is my animal child so, like any pet parent, you want the best for them. My dog was very hesitant at first because she was on guard and protecting her home. I left treats at the door just in case. Alexander was so patient with her and feed her treats to gain her trust. As the days went on, the "check-in" photos made my heart smile. I could see London letting her guard down her guard and that was all because of how sweet he was. I will certaintly use him again!”


“Sophie was absolutely amazing! She took care of my puppy like he was her own and helped me out so much with having to travel for a family emergency. I knew 100% he was in wonderful hands. I will be booking Sophie again. Don’t hesitate book Sophie !!”


“I’m so lucky to have found Sule! She is great at communicating while she’s spending time with Mia and sending the best pics during her visits. You can tell she loves my fur baby as if Mia was her own. She is genuinely a great person with a big heart. Don’t pass her up on this app. Your pet will LOVE her”


“Tina was amazing! She took great care of my kitties while I was at the beach for a week and kept my place clean while I was gone. I could tell genuinely enjoyed playing and spending time with them which was relieving and allowed me to relax on my vacation! Would definitely have her come back to watch my babies!”


About: With 4 years of hands-on pet care, I’ve worked with dogs of all kinds—from playful pups to rescues needing extra patience and structure. I’ve fostered dogs with fear-based behaviors, low socialization, and leash reactivity, and helped them grow more confident through trust-building, calm leadership, and positive reinforcement. I began basic training with both fosters, working on leash skills, handling, and commands to set them up for success in their forever homes. I also trained my own golden retriever from puppyhood using positive-reinforcement methods and a focus on building a strong, trusting relationship. He’s now a friendly, well-mannered pup who loves to play and welcomes other dogs into our home. I provide a calm, loving home where pups can relax, play, and feel safe. I work from home 2–3 days per week, which means plenty of companionship, potty breaks, and enrichment throughout the day. On the days I work away from home, I’m gone no more than 7 hours—and never overnight. My home is in a walkable area with no elevators and easy access to an off-leash dog park. There’s plenty of space for your pup to feel comfortable, plus a well-socialized golden retriever who loves having a playmate. I keep a clean environment with clear, consistent boundaries inside and on leash, ensuring your pup gets structure, love, and attention that meets their unique needs—whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. When caring for your pup in your home, I prioritize keeping things consistent and comfortable. I take the time to understand your routines, rules, and preferences so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Every household—and every dog—is different, and I’m here to support your style of care. Whether that means sticking to a specific walking schedule, reinforcing house rules, or maintaining feeding rituals, I’ll follow your lead to ensure your pup feels safe, secure, and right at home.

“Katelyn saved the day helping out with my dog on short notice! She was able to quickly schedule a meet and greet, communicated well throughout the visits, and handled several special requests (like giving medicine) with ease. I was worried about leaving my dog while he had an injured paw, but she took such good care of him. It really put me at ease!! Thanks Katelyn!!”


“Erin is the best! She does a great job with my two cats, and whenever I come home they are in good spirits. I really appreciate her thorough updates and the images she sends - it makes being away from them a little easier. I have booked with Erin multiple times and can relax when I'm gone because my pets are in good hands.”


“Averi has been so great, I am so happy we have found her for weekly drop ins. She’s very responsive and reliable, as well as a reasonable fee. We will be having Averi over for visits as long as she is willing to help us.”


About: I grew up with dogs and adopted our sweet Teddy a few years ago and I genuinely love spending time with all pups. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or just a cozy cuddle session. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I bring a calm, caring, and responsible approach to every visit. I’m currently working part-time, which means I have plenty of flexibility for dog walks and drop-ins after 2pm on weekdays and most of the day weekends. If your pup needs an extra walk, play session, or a little TLC while you’re away, I’m here to help. Whether I’m in my home or yours, your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I follow your instructions closely, make sure walks are always on-leash in safe areas, and keep fresh water available at all times. I’m attentive to any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy so you’re always in the loop. You can count on me for updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m committed to making sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. I’m young, active, and dependable. I offer in-home pet sitting and dog walking, and I’m more than happy to travel to you. I have my own car with a spacious backseat—perfect for picking up and safely transporting your pets if needed. I’d love the chance to meet your furry friend and give them the same level of care I give my own. I hope you’ll consider me—your pet will be in great hands!

Whether your pet requires extra attention, a special routine, or medical care, I’m committed to ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m experienced in handling both energetic pets who love to play and more laid-back ones who just need some companionship. From administering medication to following specific feeding schedules or providing extra comfort, I tailor my approach to meet your pet’s individual needs.

“Keegan is a total delight and took such good care of our cat while we were out of town for a week. Anxious about leaving him alone since his brother passed away a month ago, Keegan put my mind at ease and as another cat person- she understood my feelings. It was evident Clive was played with and brushed over the week and was very happy when we arrived home. She was also very flexible when our keypad battery was dying and she found the key to our front door as an alternate solution for access. Keegan is a keeper!”

Oakhurst pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover, and I am so happy with the turn out. Lynn suggested doing a test run since Ash can be a little nervous, which I really appreciated as they got to meet before I had to go on my trip. It worked out perfectly and by the end, Ash was so comfortable that he was sitting next to her and even showing off his tricks. Knowing he was being fed, checked on, and cared for with so much patience and attention gave me real peace of mind. What a great experience.

Alexander was fantastic! He came over promptly for each drop-in and followed all directions perfectly. He let us know anytime there was a new development with our cat and gave plenty of attention and playtime for them while we were away. He took pictures of all the areas we asked him to watch for to keep us updated along the way. We're absolutely planning on having him watch our cat again in the future.

Joseph was incredible to our sweet old girl Moxie! He was loving and sweet to her and always updated me if anything was different for Moxie that day. He was dependable and consistent and we were so thankful that she got to go on walks every day in the middle of the day. We are so grateful for Joseph!

We’re so grateful to Rachael for taking such great care of our cat, Mabel, during her drop-in visits! Mabel can be pretty shy around new people, but Rachael was so patient and gentle with her, which we really appreciated. She took the time to let Mabel warm up at her own pace and made sure she was comfortable, fed, and cared for during each visit. Rachael also kept us updated with messages and photos, which was such a nice touch and helped us feel connected while we were away. Thank you, Rachael, for treating Mabel with such care and respect. We truly appreciate your help and would gladly have you back again!

Latoya did a great job taking care of our pup when we were gone. She loves animals and treated our dog like her own! She took lots of pics and was very communicative with us. She gave our Bodie lots of lovin and made sure he was happy and comfortable. We will absolutely use Latoya’s services again!

We had an amazing experience with Briana watching our cats Leo and Cleo over the July 4th weekend! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and caring—our cats clearly felt comfortable and loved while we were away. We came home to two happy kitties and everything perfectly in order. Highly recommend Briana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!

Melanie is so fantastic. She has such a calm and friendly approach when she is caring our pup which is greatly appreciated. I know Wren is well cared for when I am out of town which is a huge sigh of relief. Thank you Melanie for your thoughtful updates and giving Wren some love while I am away.
