“Torrie is amazing. She really helped me a lot when I couldn’t walk my dog as I was recovering from injury. She treats my dog with so much love. Grateful to have her”
2. Savannah M.
“Savannah is a dream! So professional and kind, an excellent communicator and a quick problem solver. Savannah cared for our chickens for nearly three full weeks and watched over the house and plants. She provided regular updates, was intuitive to care for the girls in the hot weather and allowed my time away to feel so much more at ease. I was so thrilled to return with thriving plants, and happy, calm chickens. Will definitely look to book with her again in the future, and recommend fully!”

5. Sarisha B.
“Sarisha has watched our home, and cat, multiple times. He has been readily available for short and long-term obligations. Without asking, Sarisha continually went out of his way to visit with our cat as well as provide specific dietary feedings and clean-up just like we asked. Sarisha will continue to be a comforting part of our future vacation plans!”

About: I have had a dog since I was 5 years old and she was with me for 13 years. Her last few years were extremely difficult because she became allergic to many things and had constant stomach problems. She taught me to be more patient and loving towards her as she got older. About a year ago I decided to get a new furry baby, after three years of my first one passing. I have had my current dog since she was 9 weeks old. She helped me gain experience in potty, walking, and crate training. She is also a very nervous dog which has allowed me to learn new ways to make her feel comfortable when she is scared. I also have experince walking family members dogs and those include Pit-bulls, Pomeranians, and Chihuahuas. I am a college student that is looking for a job that is able to work with my school schedule. On the weekends I would prefer mornings only and during the week my availability would be fairly open in the mornings as well! At home my pet gets walked 3-4 times a day on a leash at all times. She is also given a treat at the end as a rewards for being so good. My pet is also crate trained but is usually never put in her crate. If a client would need their pet back in a crate I would feel comfortable doing so. When babysitting pets I always make sure to abide by parents rules for example if they have a strict no dogs on couch/bed rule, I make sure to follow that.

8. Jestina C.
“Jestina was really great! Super reliable, followed all of our instructions, and really responsive. We highly recommend her!”
9. Wakana B.
About: Hello, I’m Waka! As a lifelong animal lover and pet parent, I understand the immeasurable joy pets bring to our lives—and the challenges that can come with caring for them, especially during busy times like December. I've been in that position myself: juggling responsibilities, managing logistics, and feeling guilty for not being able to spend as much time with my pets as I’d like. That’s why I became a Rover sitter—to provide peace of mind to pet parents in my community. Whether you’re navigating a packed schedule or simply need an extra hand, I’m here to ensure your beloved pets are cared for with love, patience, and attention. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have raised two of my own. From training and meal prep to ensuring their happiness and health, I’ve always prioritized their well-being. Beyond dogs, I’ve also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ cats, fish, and even chickens! Spending time with animals is deeply fulfilling for me, and I find joy in offering them care, companionship, and affection. When you trust me with your furry, feathery, or scaly family members, you can expect the same dedication and love I give my own pets. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, cooking for them, or tidying up, I’m here to make things easier for you and keep your pets happy and healthy while you’re away. Let’s connect to discuss how I can help. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pets! Available hours: I am not working full-time at the moment and my schedule is relatively flexible. My available hours are 8am to 6pm but can be flexible depending on the distance I have to travel. Please give me a detailed instruction including feeding schedule, health information Do's and Don'ts and anything else that is important for me to know. Safety for both parties is important, and for that reason I cannot work with dogs who are aggressive towards people. I am sorry! I just don't have the right skills for it. If there is anything you would like to know more about me, please feel free to ask!
10. Cora Leigh L.
“Cora did a great job taking care of our cat and looking after our house while we were out of town. She is communicative, timely, reliable, and most of all our cat loves her. I would recommend Cora, and we will be using her again next time we need a cat and/or house sitter!”
11. Maria V.
About: Hi, my name is Maria! I grew up in a household full of animals - 1 bird, 2 dogs, 2 lizards and 6 cats. I currently have 5 cats of my own who I treat as my children. Although I have cats, I am a huge dog person. In 2021, I lost my doggy to cancer and since then, have adopted 3 cats. They keep me company as I work from home. I look forward to helping you in anyway I can and bring ease while you travel or simply need an extra set of hands. 🐾 I currently work from home but am available in the morning and evenings/nights. My schedule is flexible so I am able to easily work in your pet’s needs. I will love and care for your pet as if they were my own. My furry friends are family members to me and I know what it is like to worry about them while you are gone. I keep constant communication with pet owners and try to meet their every need.
12. Jessica W.
“Our wirehaired doxies immediately warmed to Jessica which made us feel really comfortable leaving them for the first time in years and years. It’s clear she loves dogs and understands separation anxiety issues. They got extra love and attention, and when we got home they slept for hours! Thank you, Jessica!”
13. Elisabeth H.
“Elisabeth is fantastic! Great communication and super reliable. It was great to know our puppy would get loving and attentive midday care when we had to work long days. Highly recommended!”

“Ciara is the best and takes such good care of Gus! She was also able to stay longer when I was running late from an event. I appreciate her flexibility!”
15. Ariel B.
“Ariel is absolutely wonderful! She is an excellent communicator with an uncommon ability to quickly bond with and reassure my senior dog while expertly managing his complex health / medication situation. She also coordinated with my extended family to help ensure he received the best care while I was away. I can’t recommend her enough!”
16. Hydee K.
“Amazing!! I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing my cats were in great care! She even got them some treats that they seemed to love! Would highly recommend!”
17. Judy T.
“My experience with Judy is that she is an exceptional dog sitter/mom…experienced, kind, very responsible in her care of animals, dogs being her specialty, playful and loving. I highly recommend her. She has taken care of my Border Collie and French Bulldog and I felt totally confident knowing they were in the best of care.”
18. Kayle C.
“Kayle is one of the most kind, loving, and responsible people I know! She has an incredible way with animals and has taken exceptional care of both my cat and dog. Whether it's taking my dog on walks or making sure my cat is comfortable, she always goes above and beyond! There is nobody I trust more than Kayle to watch my pets!”
19. Brittney M.
About: I have taken care of dogs since i was very young. I've always grown up up all kinds of dogs from Rottweilers to terriers. I love them, they love me. I lived with my best friend for 6 years and she had 2 Cane Corsos that I was there to take care of from puppy to now 3 years old. I love all doggos and would love to help you with yours. I work full time from home from a laptop so staying with your pup will be a breeze plus they will get all the attention and love they need throughout the day. I love going for walks and I also can just lounge around to give snuggles. From younger pup to old soul I'll provide anything they need
20. Lucy H.
“We love love love how Lucy cares for our cat! Truly we could not have asked for a better cat sitter. She is so warm and thoughtful. The quality of care she gives is always fantastic. My cat loves her and I’m sure all other pets under her care do, too.”
