My wife and I just had Jennifer stay with our dog for the very first time …. it was perfect! Wylie and Jennifer got along great! Jennifer made him feel loved and comfortable. Wylie has a strong attachment to my wife, but Jennifer won him over. While the Rover website is great and easy to work with, Jennifer walked us through the process, explained what she could do and made us feel good about leaving Wylie in the hands of a complete stranger (a stranger no more). We were equally impressed with how well Jennifer treated our home. We were gone overnight and Jennifer stayed with Wylie in our home. There is no question that I very highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who is the least bit nervous about having a pet-sitter. We plan on using her every chance we get!

Tiaesha was a great puppy sitter for our Eevee! Eevee was soo excited when Tiaesha walked in the door. Tiaesha kept us updated throughout the night and sent so many photos. She was very proactive and asked so many questions to make sure Eevee was cared for properly.

About: I’ve been around animals all my life and wouldn’t want it any other way! I currently have one rescue dog of my own, having sadly lost one of our pups three years ago. I regularly walk several dogs in the local area, and do regular drop-in visits for a family with three cats, when they go out of town. I also have experience caring for senior cats and dogs. I will always keep you updated with photos/videos promptly after each visit or walk. Rest assured, I will treat your fur babies as my own! My schedule is flexible and I am available most days, including weekends, depending on prior booking commitments. Caring for your pets is always my priority! I am mature, reliable, and responsible and will always treat your pets and your property as I would my own. I will check on your pet’s welfare first and foremost, then will keep them well loved and entertained throughout my visit/walk!

I have 2 male dogs. Sebastian is 10, set in his ways, stubborn Cocker Spaniel, in a lot of ways, my little old man. The other one is Carbon who is 15 months old and still like a puppy and full of energy. Kimberly was an absolute doll. She is personable and my Sebastian seemed to really like her, he doesnt take to too many people. My boys were extremely happy when I came home. Kimberly sent me updates via text messages and photos. I would HIGHLY recommend her!!!

About: I helped my aunt run her doggy care business, so I am experienced with dogs. I've had a cockapoo growing up, starting when she was a puppy, and I took care of her myself until I moved and did not have space for her. I currently have an Australian Sheperd. I love dogs ranging from different breeds and I'm as energetic as they are! I always make sure dogs have a set eating schedule, a set potty schedule, and enough love! If you need me to bathe your dog, I can do that too! I'm also experienced with teaching dogs tricks (as I've taught everything to my dog on my own such as sit, stay, paw, roll over), and keeping them company. Contact me if you are interested!

About: I've taken care of dogs (either my own or pet-sitting) for the past 15 years. I have had many friends and family members rely on me to keep their pets fed, walked, played with, and loved while they are out! I also have experience with senior dogs, giving medication etc. My work schedule is fairly flexible, so it's super easy for me to fit pet care into my daily/weekly routines! I keep my home clean and safe for pups to venture around. I will send lots of pictures so you know your pet is happy and well taken care of. I have a fairly flexible full time job where I am able to work from home as needed. Additionally, when I need to be in person it is usually only for a few hours maximum. So I have plenty of time to be playing with and caring for your pups! I live in a very walkable neighborhood with lots of great spots for fur babies to use the bathroom and get their exercise in! I spend a lot of time after initial drop off trying to make your pet as comfortable and relaxed as possible! I'll also send you lots of pictures to alleviate some of the stress of leaving your pup with someone else. I spend a lot of time giving the pets I care for the same love and attention they would receive at home.

About: Hi! I’m Jackie, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs, cats, and senior pets. I grew up with dogs and have always been comfortable around them, their energy, and their routines. As an adult, I’m a proud cat mom, which has given me a deep appreciation for feline personalities, boundaries, and the quieter kind of companionship. I understand that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and trusting someone with them is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and comfort needs. I work from home, which allows me to be present, responsive, and flexible with schedules. I especially enjoy providing calm, reassuring care for pets who may be shy, anxious, older, or just prefer a quieter environment. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or simply having someone nearby for comfort and companionship, my goal is always to help them feel safe, loved, and relaxed while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work part time and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to be present, responsive, and attentive to pets throughout the day. I care for pets by closely following their established routines so they feel safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, walking needs, litter or potty routines, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owner. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and attentive, making sure pets receive plenty of companionship, enrichment, and reassurance while maintaining their normal daily rhythm. I prioritize calm, positive interactions and never rush care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a quiet, low-stress environment with close supervision, lots of attention, and regular updates to owners. I’m especially mindful of safety, comfort, and cleanliness. I communicate regularly with photos and updates so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away, and I always adjust my care style based on each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs.

About: New to Rover✨ I had dogs of my own when I was 11 and I absolutely adored them. I was always happy to take care of them. I have also dog sat for my family’s friend active pup from time to time. Now, I have been doing drop in visits to another family friend’s new cat 🐈‍⬛ and I loved the experience so much that I want to take it on the road!! I am currently free all day. Usually I am home or I go on an adventure walk/ bike ride and would love to bring your pup/ kitty member along :). I am flexible to suit your needs and make it easier for you and your companion. I would love to know your companion’s daily routine as well to ensure a smooth and relaxing day for them. **A meet-up prior to service is offered** I have a pretty open living space in my townhouse. My community has lots of dogs and cats so it is very pet friendly and safe! We even have an open grass area to walk/play (on a leash). I am super excited to house/drop-in/ day sit your furry/feline friend!!

About: Pets are family. They deserve to be treated with the highest quality of care. I have had 8 years of experience pet sitting, pet walking, and pet care. I take pride in not only my love for animals, but my ability to provide a peace of mind for pet parents alike. I have a flexible work schedule and therefore am able to accommodate pets with more bathroom breaks, walks, and overnight stays if needed. It is also something embedded into my daily life with my own pets. In my clients home I aim to make both pet and pet parent as comfortable as possible. Ensuring directions are reviewed between myself and you before a service is necessary and critical in order to ensure the best possible care of your pet.

Kelly was absolutely excellent. We had her stay overnight with our cats, including one who had recently had a medical emergency, for four days. She was diligent in providing updates, sending photos, and making sure our kitties felt loved. We will absolutely be using her again.

Julia was an incredible sitter for Polo over Christmas week. From the moment we booked, she was communicative and thoughtful, excited to spend time with him. Throughout the stay, she sent regular updates and photos. Polo can be a sensitive little guy, but he warmed up to her and Julia kept his routine consistent, gave him tons of attention, and made sure he got plenty of playtime and snuggles. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands during the holidays. I would recommend Julia without hesitation and will absolutely book with her again!

Amazing sitter!! My dog is on medications and it's always so nerve-wracking for me every time I have to leave him. Well, not with Megan on board! She's incredibly attentive, and she carefully and expertly handled every aspect of his care. I was beyond impressed! Not only that, but her connection with and love for animals is truly remarkable. I've never seen my dog so relaxed with anyone! My dog was smitten with her within minutes of arrival, and you know that dogs just know when they've found an excellent human! Megan is very sweet and very kind to both humans and animals, and is 1000% trustworthy with both the care of your furbaby AND with having her in your home. Absolutely amazing sitter. Highly recommended without hesitation!
