“Excellent care for our cats. Jen took the time to come over and see their set up before we went on our trip. Albert needs medicine administered and Jen could do that easily. Will definitely.ask for Jen again”
About: I work from home (even pre-pandemic) with my terrier mix assistant, Mochi. I have many years of experience with dogs, as pets and as a volunteer at a local animal shelter. Not currently accepting new clients, as Mochi is now a grumpy old man and not interested in new friends. Why I love dog sitting I have had a dog since I was a child. I have always loved dogs, especially rescues. Having another dog or two around gives my dog a chance to socialize & play while I work. (Otherwise he just sits in my lap or at my feet) About my yard We have a large fenced backyard to play in, to chase squirrels, & for potty breaks, but also take walks around the neighborhood.
“Ciara was awesome. I felt comfortable overseas knowing Freya was in good hands. Ciara took care of everything and even developed a bond with Freya. I'd be excited to use Ciara again in the future.”
“Maggie did an awesome job taking care of my dog! She is very attentive and communicative. I highly recommend her and have already booked her again!”
“Erin was fantastic! She spent a lot of time playing and snuggling with my kitty. She communicated really well and managed his medicines like a pro. I'll definitely be booking with her the next time I'm out of town.”
“Bayley did a great job with all 3 of our dogs! She came over in the morning for breakfast; as we needed help because our reg dog-sitter's schedule changed. She jumped right in and was very flexible! Def will use Bayley again!!”
“Jacqueline was amazing! She fit me in on a super short notice when I took an unplanned day trip. She was extremely communicative and kind, and even offered to do extra tasks that I hadn’t asked of her.”
“Emily is great. Super nice, flexible, attentive to our dog, took lots of notes, and asked lots of great questions to ensure their time together went smoothly. She even thought to look ahead to the weather and ask about rain protocol for walking the dog. We’ll definitely book again!”
“Donai was exceptional! I knew when she came to meet Alice and Hank and she got on the floor to meet them, and asked for some treats to win them over, that she had already won over my approval. She gave me daily updates and daily pictures. It made me so happy on my trip to both see them, and also see that they were being well cared for and loved. Would definitely book Donai again!!”
“William did a great job with my two cats! Communication was very good and easy, and my kitties seemed to really like him immediately! I will absolutely rebook.”
“Kumiko was the perfect sitter for my high-energy big dogs. They loved her! She took tons of photos and responded immediately to any of my messages. We will be looking for her again!”
“Didn't even think to ask for pictures but she took multiple good ones which is always good for reassurance. It was my first time using her and rover but will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Highly recommend Chris! He was a last-minute lifesaver to my two kittens. After our initial meeting I felt very confident and safe leaving him to check-in on them. And as expected, he did nothing but provide the exact care and regular correspondence I had hoped for. Thanks Chris!”
About: I grew up in a house with a dog and cats. Since I was young, I have helped out family, friends, and neighbors with pet care. I have done everything from drop ins for socializing cats to watching 4 big dogs (and some birds) for a week! For many years, I had several families who counted on me to watch their animals while they were on vacations. I don’t have any pets of my own, so I would be so happy to give your animals some love and care! I can offer transparent and frequent communication, as desired, about how your pet is doing (+ pics of course!) I currently work standard 9-5 on weekdays. I am happy to provide more attentive care evenings and weekends! Outside of work hours, I can commit to around the clock attention as needed :) My apartment is animal safe and provides plenty of space for cats and small/medium dogs. I have a courtyard area, but it is not fenced in. I also in a great area for walking and close to a park.

We were really happy with the care she gave our dog while we were away. At first our dog was a little shy and unsure, but she eventually warmed up to her and started getting excited for their walks and playtime. I was honestly nice seeing her look forward to the visits. She always made sure our dog was fed and had fresh clean water, and even with only 30-minute visits, she still took the time to walk and play with her. Our dog can pull a lot during walks, but she handled her really well and seemed patient with her. Overall we were satisfied with her care and appreciated the updates and time she spent with our dog while we were away. We’d definitely consider booking with her again. Thank you again!

First time Rover user - and boy am I glad I booked with Becca. Becca was absolutely wonderful for Walker’s first Rover stay! From the start, her communication was excellent, which made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. Knowing Walker was in such good hands gave me total peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats the animals she watches like her own. The best part was getting pictures of Walker in the middle of my workday — it completely made my day and reassured me that he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time.I’m so grateful for the care she gave him and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Becca to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive!
Jessica did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs while we were away. One dog is nervous around new people and pretty much anybody who isn’t us, and that in turn makes our other dog anxious as well. Jessica was gentle, resourceful, and creative in managing them and their drop-in visits. She also communicated well with us, so we felt our dogs were safe and in good hands. Thank you!
Jules is the best pet sitter I’ve had since I’ve been using Rover. She checked in on my old girly 3 times a week for me for 4 weeks while our schedules lined up. She was super attentive to Zoe and let me know anytime there was something that may have been wrong or slightly off. I always felt super comfortable knowing Jules was checking in on Zoe for me because I felt it was obvious she truly cared. I also appreciate that Jules was super patient with me with some of my last minute schedule changes I had. I’m gonna miss having her checking in on my girly.
