My pomsky adores her and he loves her dog peach. No one else I would trust my pet with for such an extended period of time, she is the best!”

6. Jill B.
“Jill is great with dogs! She had a ton of experience handling all types of doggie personalties and really cares about all dogs well being. She is also super reliable and friendly! Highly recommended.”


7. Jaime R.

“Jamie was exceptional! She was very prompt, informative and overall a great person. She did very well with Halo, using the same commands and letting her sniff all her normal spots on walks. Jamie was also great with Halo around other dogs and people as Halo can sometimes not mind others. Thank you again Jamie, you'll be my first call next time I need some help!”


8. Yvonne R.
“I have known Yvonne for two and a half years and she is one of the most responsible person I’ve ever came across. She has worked with children for many years and is adored by many. She is well-respected by her peers, included myself. It takes a lot to gain my respect too, with how millennials (and people in general) are nowadays. Yvonne is a prioritizer. She understands the urgency of matters and will always act upon what she thinks matters, regardless of how little the ‘issue’ may be. It’s hard to find someone like that because people like this, like her, are gems to our lives. Knowing who she is, Yvonne is 100% trustworthy and will leave your dog (and/or child) happier than ever. And if you don’t believe me, see for your own eyes and request her - you’ll never regret your decision!”


9. Jordan S.

“Jordan was wonderful with our 3 month old puppy! He responded within minutes, was very professional and came to meet our pup the day after we contacted him. Our pup took to him immediately, and Jordan came and walked him several days a week for three weeks. Each time, he was prompt, sent us pictures and a run down of how each walk went. Jordan was also very flexible with a few of our unexpected schedule changes. He is truly an ideal person to trust in caring for your dog, and we will absolutely be requesting his services again!”

About: Looking for someone to love your fur baby the way you do? I’m Callie, and as an avid animal lover, I can promise to give patient, loving, fun to your best friend! I am a mom to three lovely cats, and an heavily involved aunt to a floof of a husky! I’ve looked after animals my whole life, and would love to give love to yours! I’ll travel to you and have a very open and flexible schedule to fit with you and your family’s needs. I also am trained in holistic nutrition and can help your pup or kitty feel their best, if you’re looking for help in that department! I can’t wait to hear from you and meet your best friend! I have an extremely flexible work schedule and can make just about anything work! I am very hands on if that’s what your baby needs (and can be hands off if they’re more reserved). I am very hands on if that’s what your baby needs (and can be hands off if they’re more reserved). Having a parent away can be so stressful for a pet, so making sure they know they are cared for is my top priority!


11. Liena B.
About: I love animals and to take care of others pets for years for friends and family made me want to do it all the time! I can do any day ! Anytime 9am to 7pm ! Of course if there’s different times don’t hesitate to ask me I can work around it ! I have 4 cats of my own, I can handle medicine given to them. I also can clip nails and bathe your fur babies !


12. Synthea P.
“Synthea has always had a strong love for animals since she was a child. She herself has 7 cats. She loves animals with all her heart. She is very responsible and loving. She has experience working in vet hospitals and caring for animals. She’s always treated every animal like royalty. Animals are a very sentimental passion to her as she lost her own dog Chiquita. It hit her hard and she even has a tattoo as a memorial to her beloved chiki. You can rest assured that your animal will be taken care of properly and most of all shown plenty of love!”


13. Courtney K.
About: I used to work with dogs at a dog daycare when I was 19 and it really was the way I learned for my passions for animals. I really enjoy other animals as well as I’ve learned from my most recent endeavors with volunteering at a bird sanctuary in my home state and helping my grandmother raise and train her dog. I’m also no stranger to stepping in to care for cats and even pet rodents! I’m currently working part time at a breakfast cafe so I’m usually home in the mid afternoons and plan to spend a good chunk of my days doing rover services. I am very observant and wont follow or corner any of the pets I care for but I can keep a good eye on them without making any animals nervous. Safety is very important to me for both me and the pet I’m looking after.


14. Isis V.
“Isis was wonderful, she took very good care of my dog; he's still a pup so needs plenty of exercise and Isis took him running and on hikes- he was very happy is every Picture and video she sent me. Definetley recommend and would book Isis as a sitter again.”


15. Carlos P.
“I cannot recommend Carlos highly enough as a pet caregiver. He is one of the kindest individuals I know and has an incredible love for all animals. His own dog is a testament to his care—well-behaved, happy, and deeply loved. Recently, I lost one of my fur babies, and my other pup has been grieving the loss. Carlos, in his thoughtful and compassionate way, brought his dog over for a playdate to cheer up my pup. It made a world of difference. His genuine care, reliability, and understanding of animals make him an outstanding choice for any pet caregiving needs.”


16. Brittney C.
About: I've had dogs all my life, so I have a lot of experience caring for them. Currently I don't have any dogs, just cats. I've also had experience dog sitting for family members. I've had to take care of dogs that have needed daily medication also. I have experience with large and small dogs. I'm comfortable around all breeds. Most of the dogs I have had have been larger dogs, dobermans, boxers, pit bulls, etc. I also have experience with aggressive dogs, both people aggressive and dog aggressive.


17. Lucas B.
“Lucas B. Would be an exceptional pet sitter/ walker. He is a professional k9 handler and trainer with a nationally known company. His personal dogs are trained in explosive detection. But beyond this he loves animals. He can, by observation, detect what the animals need or what their behavior is expressing. The fact that after working with dogs all day and he still desires to spend time with other pets shows his fondness for dogs. He is compassionate and understanding and has a great work ethic. I recommend him without reservation.”


18. Tatiana B.
“Tati is an exceptional caregiver for fur babies. Her nickname amongst family and friends is 'Tati Doolittle' because she has the gift of communicating with animals of all kinds. Tati has cared for my fur baby over the years while we go on vacation. We dropped the ball with socializing him as a puppy, but Tati has a unique ability in calming a dog's anxiety. She is the only person I trust to look after my fur son. Any fur parent would be lucky to leave their babies in her care.”


19. Evelyn R.
About: Began working at an animal shelter young so I have experience cleaning up after all kinds of animals as well as nurturing and care taking. Ive owned dogs my whole life and adopted my first cat about five years ago. Ive rescued and rehoused many stray dogs/cats over the years and would love to work to care for others pets as if they were my own. I work part time where my schedule changes every other week so I am able to fit pet care during week days ranging from mornings and afternoons. Weekends are flexible and usually available! My dog gets walked twice a day and we actively are tossing toys around in the backyard and have some mental stimulation games we like to play. My cat does a lot of cuddling and laying and sometimes wants to play prey with a rope toy.


20. Savannah C.
About: Growing up, I’ve always had close bonds with animals, whether it was dogs, cats, birds or even lizards and they’d always take a liking to me. I’d love spending time with them, walking, petting them or even just hanging out. I usually pet sit on my off days but eventually I’d want to do this full time.:) I’ll slowly start to migrate to a full time of doing Rover. I make sure I follow all the instructions given to make sure a safe space is provided. Medication schedule, walking schedule and even special procedures included.
