“WOW! Aimee took such great care of our kitty while we were away. She came for multiple daily visits and sent detailed updates with great photos. She truly went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our cat was well taken care of and I felt so much better knowing Aimee was there for her. I will absolutely be using Aimee for any future travel.”
“Brittany was great and Kramer loved her!! She was also so helpful with Kramer’s special instructions (since she was just spayed)! We will definitely use Brittany again!”
“Provided great care for our border collie while we were away!”
“Maria was great. It was her first time with our two cats. They warmed up to her quickly, which is saying a lot! Her report cards were clear and complete and all went well!”
“Andre was lovely! He was very kind and dropped in to feed my cat while I was away for the holidays. Definitely recommend him to anyone looking to have a responsible, caring sitter for their pet. Very grateful :)”
“Juliette took good care of my bunny while I was traveling. Everything was tidy when I returned. I would ask her to pet sit again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for around 7 years as I've walked, played, or house-sat my own dog and my neighbors dogs and had a blast doing it. I am available most late mornings and afternoons, weekends are hard because I have soccer reffing for the whole day each day and it would be hard to squeeze a dog walk in. I can easily settle dogs down, crate dogs, and make them feel relaxed without stress when they sense danger or something is off. I am able to control them no matter the strength they have.
“Simone did a great job with my dog Lily and my two kittens!! She took lots of photos and videos, my pets looked very happy! She also had some great notes and I will definitely be reaching out to her again for care!”
“We are so happy we found Mira! We were able to book her for an impromptu weekend trip. She checked-in on our dog and cat daily for feedings and walks. We received updates & pictures for each visit, which we really appreciated. We will absolutely be making Mira our regular pet sitter/walker. Our pets give her two paws up! Thank you Mira!”
“Taylor was so great! I reached out to her last minute and she was quick to respond. She’s super nice, communicative and my cat loved her. Will definitely use her again!”
“Mya was wonderful in every way. She was highly communicative with me and sent lots of pictures and videos. She was also great with my terrified-of-everyone cat. I couldn’t have found a better sitter for my kitty while I was gone. I hope that if I need to travel again, she is available. I wish I could give more stars 😄”
“This was my first time using rover and I’m glad I had Sophia. She was punctual and very attentive with my pup. She contacted me regularly and provided plenty of pictures while taking care of my puppy. I would book again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Kaitlyn was amazing with my two cats! She came over to feed and play with them while I was out of town and I can tell they loved her. She clearly gave them lots of love and attention while I was gone - they barely registered that I was back. ? She sent great updates and pictures and was great with communication both before and during the visits. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book her again!”
About: I have years of personal experience caring for animals, including training my own golden retriever, Prince, who’s now almost 10. I started training him as a puppy, and I still love teaching him new tricks to keep him engaged, happy, and to improve our bond. Prince has also received care from Rover sitters, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust. I have high standards for how he’s treated, and I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I look after. I’m patient, kind, and always focused on making sure every pet feels safe and happy. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for, just like I do with my own dog. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine right now because I’m in college and have lots of free time over the summer. I am able to dedicate my days to giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. During visits, I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by taking things at their pace. I give them plenty of attention, follow all care instructions carefully, and keep their space clean and secure. I am attentive to all pets' needs, whether it’s going for a walk, playtime, feeding, or just providing company.
About: I’ve been thinking care of the dogs since I was young. I am a Nanny live-in and dogs babysit in the same time. They sleep with me in the bed when their owner is gone. I love walking them outside. I trained them to listen to me in Thai and English. I have experience in walking the dog outside. I have 2 clients who trust me to walk there dog now. I’m normally free 9 AM - 12:20 PM on the weekdays. After 7 PM on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday And Friday. I sometimes free all day on Saturday. And I am free after 1 pm every Sunday. I would love to take care of the dogs in your house or walking them around your neighborhood. Because I don’t have my own place to take care of other dogs here.
“Kris is absolutely the best! I will be using Kris regularly in the near future. Thank you!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover with both a cat and dog of my own (Peanut Butter and Jammy!), I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets like family. While I’m new to pet sitting on this app, I’ve spent years caring for pets of friends and family—everything from playful puppies and kittens to senior fur babies needing extra TLC. I treat all the pets I watch like my own and never skimp on care to make sure they get just as much time and attention as they do when they are with you! I have hands-on experience administering medication and supporting pets who may not be feeling their best, and I’m always patient and gentle with those who need a little extra attention. I’m currently not working, so I’m able to work around your pet’s schedule and their normal routine. I’ll be available around the clock for all your pet’s needs! What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive approach to animal care. I let each pet guide our interactions so they feel safe, secure, and comfortable. I’m really attentive and observant, so it’s easy for me to tell how your pet is doing and make them feel at ease!
“Amity is an obvious dog lover. She and our lab Gwen get along great! I’m so glad we found someone we can trust in the neighborhood to take great care of our fur baby. Looking forward to booking Amity again.”
“Kate was fantastic to work with! She responded quickly to messages and came over to do a meet and greet before sitting. During the sitting she sent pictures and updates of our pup, we would book again!”
“Maggie is so kind and wonderful with my two cats. She’s so thoughtful and detail oriented and I really appreciated her help while we were away. Maggie is a great rover!”

Suphaphattra S.
“Suphaphattra, or Evie as she would like to be called, has taken care of my two dogs many times. She is the only person I trust to watch them if I'm not around. They love her like a second "mom"! She goes out of her way to make them feel loved and cared for. She plays games with them, thinks carefully about their safety and generally puts their comfort and happiness first. Evie is very responsible and trustworthy and I've trusted her to take care of my house as well as the dogs while I'm away and the house actually looks better then it did when I left, when I get home! I could not ask for a kinder, more considerate dog sitter who looks after my pups like they were her own!”

I had to leave town last minute and Abigail was very responsive and able to come quickly to watch my cats. They were well taken care of while I was gone!
Whitney is awesome! She was super detailed on her rover cards and took plenty of pictures. She is a great communicator and was so nice to our cats while we were away. I would definitely work with Whitney again!
Katherine was great with our dogs as always! She’s very professional and has excellent communication. Highly recommended!
Riley is amazing and so glad we found her to kitty sit for our babies. It’s very obvious from our first interaction that she loves animals and cares for them as if they are her own. I wish I could give more than 5 stars cause Riley has earned it!!!
Aly is amazing !! She is so communicative and sends great updates and photo- will continue to use her !

Guiselle was amazing! She kept me updated and sent lots of pics. My cat was very fond of her 🩷 thank you!!
Simone is a wonderful person to check on your furbabies! I loved that Simone would send in pictures and let us know each day how our cats were doing. I also loved thst Simone was very responsive to any questions and made adjustments if we both noticed something was off. Like we both noticed only one food bowl was empty but Simone moved the water bowl and that fixed the problem! If you want someone you can trust, look no further!
Taylor was a huge help checking in on my cat Emmy while I was away for the long weekend! From the jump, Taylor was super thorough in her questions and making sure she was prepared to check in on Emmy, and when it came to the actual checks, she did a great job entertaining Emmy and taking care of her! I would absolutely have Taylor look after Emmy again in the future!!
Eden took amazing care of my cat while i was away and gave me great peace of mind with detailed daily updates! I would definitely ask her to pet sit in the future.
Jaclyn was very responsive and reliable while taking care of my cat Luna. I am appreciative of her services and recommend her !
Justin did a wonderful job taking care of my elderly cat. He communicated every day with me and even helped out with a bird that flew in from our chimney. I highly recommend him.
Morgan is such a delight to have come visit Gemma. Great communication, Gemma loves her cuddles and I feel such peace of mind when Morgan is watching her.
Shannon is wonderful! So easy to coordinate with and Gemma loves having her visit. Thank you for everything Shannon!
Michaela did a great job with my kitty, Tux! He can be very shy, but opened up to her on her first visit. She provided lots of information and photos so I felt very comfortable while I was away and knew how he was doing.
Mei Ling was fantastic - she went above and beyond by taking care of a few tasks in my week-long absence and I felt very comfortable with her being in my apartment. She also takes amazing pictures!
Laurel took great care of my miniature dachshund while I was on a family vacation. She sent photos and updated everyday. I will definitely be using her again!
