“Rose stayed with our pets while we were gone for 7 days. Everything that we asked of was done and more! I would recommend Rose if you’re looking for someone to care for your pets.”

“Hanna was absolutely great! We are first time rover clients and we were nervous finding somebody. We did the meet and greet a few days before we left. She stayed at the house overnight for 3 nights. Everything went so well. My dogs loved her to death. She was very mindful of keeping the house the way it was when we left. We definitely felt very comfortable having her at the house. I will be reaching out to her again for future trips.”

About: With over 12 years of petcare experience and multiple indoor pets myself, I think it's safe to say that I love animals! Situated on a 1 acre property, with a fenced front yard, this could be your pets getaway while you get away! Because I have grooming and training experience, I could be your one stop drop! I am a freelance pet artist, therefore I have plenty of time to have fun and interact with my animals! We enjoy walking in the lovely Baldwin bike trial and playing in the yard! I'm practically available all day any day! I have a fenced front yard and 4 lovely rough coated collies! My dogs are very social and love to play! Fun in the sun during the day and crated at night! For pick ups I currently have a Ruffland intermediate kennel for car rides to keep your dog as safe as possible!

We are so excited to be able to serve you and do whatever you need to take care of your pet while you are gone. Thank you for considering us to take care of your precious family member. I am a SAHM with several pets so it is already a part of my day to be caring for my pets. I would love to add your pet in. I love to care for my pets. They are a part of my everyday life. I am so happy to care for your pet as closely to the way you do.
“Chyna has been outstanding! I have left my baby with her many times. She is very sweet and professional. She sends you many pictures during the day and keep us posted. I would recommend her without any hesitation. I already have rescheduled for my future vacation. She is the best!”

“Mia was great! I didn’t have to worry about our dogs at all, and she was very attentive and respectful. I will absolutely recommend her and use her again.”

“As always, Crystal was amazing. All of her outstanding professionalism and courtesy does not compare to her loving manner with our furbabies. She is a gem. We will request her services until she gets tired of us! Thank you!”

“Stephanie did a great job with our doggies. She even baked them some cookies! She updated us throughout the stay and is just a great person to work with!”

“Melissa was amazing!! Extremely communicative, flexible to our needs, and super reliable! Our animals (2 dogs and 1 cat) loved her, and when we got back from our trip, the house was just as clean as when we left. Would definitely book again and recommend Melissa’s services.”

“Jess was absolutely fantastic with our two elderly pups! She handled giving Layla her medication every morning with ease and made sure both dogs got outside for short walks, even though it can be a bit tricky with seniors. They warmed up to her right away, which says a lot. Jess stayed in our guest bedroom and left the house spotless, just as she found it. She even went above and beyond by picking up extra dog food so I didn’t have to worry about it when I got back. We’re already looking forward to having her watch the pups again later this month. Thanks so much, Jess!”

“Cathryn is wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Lucy who is highly energetic. She kept us updated with pictures each day and was accommodating when things popped up. This was our first time using rover after changing dog sitters and I’m so thankful we found her!”

“Mandy did such a wonderful job taking care of Brownie while we were out of town. It was Brownie’s first stay as an only dog as his sister recently passed the rainbow bridge so we were nervous about leaving him for so many days but Mandy eased the worry. She took many photos and gave regular updates. We will 100 percent use her again.”

About: I've fostered and taken care of reactive dogs as well as dogs with medical needs. I'm experienced in administering insulin and caring for senior dogs. I have a flexible work schedule and am happy to care for any pets on the weekends. On the weekdays, my schedule greatly varies so it would be best to directly contact me with inquiries. I offer house sitting and dog walking services. If your fur baby gets along with mine, I'm more than happy to care for them in my apartment. I have a balcony where my cat loves to watch the cars go by and also have access to a fenced in play area for dogs to run around in.
“Nicole was on time, communicated multiple times with updates on our precious fur babies, my girls were happy and comfortable with her. We are exceptionally happy with the care and service she provided we would be honored to use her again for our needs. Thanks Nicole for taking care of them.”

“Madeline took SUCH amazing care of my dog when I got caught in a bind and we needed house sitting for the weekend. I came home to a happy, relaxed, and well cared for pup! She kept me updated through the whole weekend with plenty of photos and any questions she had to best care for Bruce. If I could give 10 stars I would, and I look forward to having her back in the future!”

“We’ve found our new pet sitter! Stephanie was fantastic. Not only did she take great care of our dogs, cats and fish tanks, but she also took on our chickens and ducks without any issue! Our dogs get pretty anxious when we are gone, but she sent multiple updates and pictures every day and everyone looked so happy and relaxed with her. She also left the house spotless and cleaned up after herself. We will definitely be working with Stephanie for all of our future trips!”

About: I got my first dog and took care of him from a pup, when I was 16. I love animals, and I want to take life into my own hand, with my career. I’m mostly adaptable. And I’d love to care for your fur baby while you’re away. I have my own dog - Peanut. He is a 3 year old, friendly Shih Tzu who would love to meet other dogs. But I run generally pretty chill and relaxed. I am home-schooled and home most - if not all the time. So I will be with pets almost all the time. Don’t worry if your baby has separation anxiety, mines does too. I am flexible with a lot of my things, but I also don’t mind a good plan or schedule. We have a fenced-in yard and space they can run around, play, and go the bathroom in. If your dog needs walks, just let me know personally so we can work something out. We also have a nice neighborhood and small park for walking and playing. If you have a schedule/food your dog needs to stick too..? Just let me know, and provide the set food and if you’d like, a crate for at night or dog bed/blanket. I have one myself, but if you’re comfortable with your dog sleeping on the bed, that’s also an option. A toy/toys they like are very welcome, and hopefully they are friendly with other dogs, since I have one of my own. And okay around children since I have a niece. And if they’re already basic, house and potty trained.
About: I love doggies! I always have and always will. I work near my house, so I get to visit home in the afternoons. I walk my fur-baby in the mornings, afternoons and at night. I communicate with clients throughout the day when pets are in my care. I can text photos of your fur-baby during the day to let you know that they just finished a walk. All in all, just know that your fur-baby will be in great hands and will receive great love and attention. I do ask for drop off time 6am to 7am on weekdays, weekends are flexible. I get lunch breaks about 2pm to 3pm. Monday through Friday I'm home by 7pm. Mostly, all my weekends are open. I have a fenced in yard, plenty of outdoor space in my small neighborhood. One 5lb shitzu who is very vocal and playful. Zora is sweet and shy; sometimes nervous in the first hour or so but once she is comfortable she is very loving. I have an empty spare room for privacy if needed for your fur-baby.
Otis pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hanna was great with all five of our animals! The house was exactly as we left it and none of the dogs seemed overly anxious when we got home which tells me she have them lots of loving while we were away! 100% will be using her as our pet sitter from here on out!

Teresa was AMAZING! She not only took good care of our dog but went above and beyond taking care of our house too (taking out trash, cleaning sheets, etc.). Never expected but was very thoughtful. She also was very thorough in her communication while here and prior to our stay.
