“You’re super easy to talk to during the first meet. Mr. Bear warmed up to Elise fairly quickly for his old age lol. Amazing updates the whole time we were gone! I’d love to have her around my pets anytime!”
“I hired Rosa to drop in on my Luna while we were out of town. I was confident in her care because she did not hesitate to ask questions when something came up. I’d much rather have someone confirm with me than guessing and doing something wrong! She was also able to send photos of Luna actually looking at the camera - I have had Luna for 10 years and she rarely looks at the camera as she is very camera shy, so Luna must have really liked her. I would definitely recommend Rosa to anyone looking for pet care!”
“Willow was absolutely fantastic! She was amazing with our puppy and went above and beyond to take care of him. She was always on time and sent the cutest pictures:) We would absolutely recommend her to any pet parent!”
“Kayla did an amazing job with my furry friends. She is caring and very friendly with the animals. I'm incredibly thankful for her professionalism and care while I was away. I will definitely use her again in the future”
“Kiley is very professional , kind and caring. She did an excellent job giving my fur buddy all that he needed and also keeping me updated so that I had total peace of mind while I was away. Well done! You are the best!”
“We had a great experience with Jordan hanging out with Chef. She was punctual, communicative, and sent lovely updates/photos which we really appreciated. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Chef was in good hands. Highly recommend Jordan!”
“Tori was absolutely amazing with my dog, Benny! She was so sweet, gentle, and attentive. Benny can be a little picky about who he warms up to, but he adored her right away. Tori was incredibly reliable and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was on my trip. I could tell she treated Benny like he was her own, and I’m so grateful for the care and love she gave him. I will definitely be using her again!!”
“So happy I booked with Alicia! I booked a drop in and she is very reliable, easy to work with and I can tell my dogs enjoy her company. She sent photos of the drop in as well. She even came by my place to meet my dogs first before the service so the dogs would be familiar with her. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Daniel helped us with our cat for roughly 4 days when we were out for a trip. We found him to be very attentive to Bobby's needs. He provided us most up to date information in detail, during each visit. We appreciated the fact that he was particularly concerned about Bobby's drinking behavior in our absence and tried out various ways to ensure he remains hydrated.”
“Savannah was wonderful, very responsive, timely, and attentive! She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was safe and happy, and I will definitely book her again. Would recommend for your cat sitting needs!!”
About: I took first aid for cats and dogs at the American Red Cross.I have had dogs for numerous years and taken care of some who weren't mine. Bobby was a sweetheart who I picked up on a highway. He was estimated to be 14 years old. I called AC and found his owner. He relinquished Bobby to me and, poor guy, developed cancer a few years later. Very hard. If the heat isn't too bad, we normally go for walks and spend time outside. There is a large grassy area and dog park across the street. I have large dog crates if anyone needs alone time. Also if dogs and cats need to be separate, they can go in other rooms.
“Ainsley stepped in last minute to take care of my cat/ kittens. She’s wonderful. She was on time, gave me updates and did everything that was asked of her. She’s super nice too!”
About: I bring extensive experience in feline and canine care, including administering medications (such as pilling), managing nutrition, and supporting overall health and wellness. This background stems from my many years working in a veterinary hospital setting. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve been a lifelong animal owner and currently care for my own beloved cat, Sprouta, whom I treat like family. As well, my family has two dogs, Flynn and Pino, both of which I care for and see frequently! Furthermore, my sister is a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, which gives me access to valuable veterinary insight when needed. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your dog or cat's health and well-being. At the moment, I am available on weekends, as I maintain a full-time weekday schedule. However, I am also able to accommodate early morning or evening visits during the week. I anticipate transitioning to a more flexible schedule in the near future, which will allow me to offer availability throughout the entire week. Each pet in my home receives individualized care tailored to their specific needs, including considerations for health, diet, exercise, and treats. I take the time to understand and support their unique requirements to ensure their well-being and happiness. All of my animals are treated as cherished members of the family and are cared for with compassion, patience, and positive reinforcement—never with harsh discipline.
About: I had a dog when I was 10 years old & I also have a puppy now! ! I would also walk and care for friends and families dogs while they were away. I have a random schedule but usually able to be home most of the time & can fit in your pet around my flexible schedule! If I am coming to your home I love to meet / FaceTime beforehand to make sure we both feel it is a great fit! I also am very personable and great at communicating to make you feel at ease while you’re away. If I'm boarding your dog I have an outdoor area and pathway right by my place where people walk their dogs all the time!
About: I’ve dog sat for many years now, I’ve just now discovered this app! I’m well accustomed to living in the houses I’m staying at and will probably be cleanest man you’ll meet! I’m 20 years old studying Health Care Compliance and Regulations at ASU. I’m an online student, meaning besides my job at Starbucks I have no obligations to leave the dogs I’m watching! I’m a caring and loving person by nature and have loved animals my whole life growing up! I have experience watching farms with an acre or so, so if u happen to have farm animals I can definitely care for them as well. I’ve ridden horses for about 6 years now and used to show at National level completions around the states. I’m a hard worker, a good listener, and promise you that you won’t find someone out there better than me for this job.
“Bella was very kind to look after our fur baby—Aki over the weekend. She really spent her time to play with him and gave him lots of love and pets during her visit. She also made sure that we’re updated and sent lots of pictures of our boy. Would highly recommend her and definitely book her in the future again!”
About: I started taking care of animals when I was in 6th grade, every year since then, friends and family have always asked me to take care of their furry friends while they were away and I built a trust with them and their amazing pets, I hope to do the same with you! I am pretty open right now but will be starting school soon from 10 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday, I am open to going every day and even staying the night if requested! This usually depends on the client, one of the first things I do is ask the client about the pet and their needs and wants as far as caring for them and then I go from there.

Peterson Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Zoeyanna was PHENOMENAL. Truly went above and beyond for my gals. She was so communicative even when I had a hard time getting back to her, she was patient in getting my cats’ trust, and she clearly prioritizes being helpful. I’ll definitely use her services again!
Jordan was fantastic! I was apprehensive because I have never used a sitter outside of friends and family before. She was phenomenal! I was completely at ease with her taking care of our cat. She sent updates throughout the day. Even more phenomenal, there was an issue with a key to our home where the key broke inside the lock. Jordan went to the hardware store and got the key replaced without our asking her to. She was fantastic and we will definitely utilize her services in the future! I can’t speak highly enough of her.
Briana is always attentive and considerate to my cats. She keeps me updated with pictures and gives each cat the kind of attention they need while we are gone. One is a recluse, one is a wild child and one is a grumpy old man, and she's tuned into each of them.
Mel was great, she did a fantastic job taking care of our Nessie, you could see Nessie really liked Mel and we loved getting all the pictures and report cards for each and every visit. Would highly recommend Mel and will be happy to reach out to her next time we need a sitter or walker.
