“Jasmine was great with our spirited Yorkie! She took care of his insulin shot and eye drops easily. Bandit has a new friend! Looking forward to working with her again.”


“Danielle was amazing while taking care of our pups. She was very thorough in the meet and greet and provided us with pictures daily! I could tell she was excited to take of our dogs and I knew they were in good hands! Will definitely book with her again when needed in the future.”


“Very good with updates and communication!”


“Cassidy was so well prepared when she came for our meet and greet, she took notes and asked all the important questions. During our time away she sent updates each visit and even checked in on our chickens since it was so hot out! I would definitely rely on her again for future stays ❤️🐾”


“Felicitas did an amazing job taking care of my doggos. Both of them looked like they were loved and well taken cared of when we got home from vacation. My doggos loved her instantly and weren’t as stressed when we were gone.”


“Joselyn was excellent. I have a very old 16.5yr old dog and she could not have been more attentive and patient. She leaves very detailed notes about the visits and goes above and beyond. We are thrilled to finally have found a sitter we can trust and will definitely book her in the future.”


“Tia BY FAAAAAAAAR restored my faith in this app. Had a bad experience before and was hesitant to go down this route again but “wow” is an understatement. Pictures, showed up on time and went above and beyond during the whole weekend! Book her now!!!!!”


“Noel was very kind and excited to watch my 3 cats. Had a last minute flight cancelation and Noel was kind enough to check on them an extra day.”


“Holly made sure our boys got food and affection while my roommate and I went on vacation! We were so relieved to have found someone to check in on them. She was punctual to the feeding times and sent photos at each visit. One of our cats was very shy at first, and we could see his comfort with her get stronger each time she stopped by. She even let us know when they broke into the treats, and fed my fish!! 🐠 We hope to be able to take advantage of her services again 😻”


“Thank you so much Carissa. You agreed at the last moment to watch my dogs and it’s much appreciated especially since it’s Labor Day weekend. 5 out of 5 Paws!”


About: I grew up with three German Shepherds and have always had a deep love for dogs and animals in general. Caring for high-energy, intelligent breeds taught me patience, consistency, and how to build strong bonds with pets. Whether it's playtime, training reinforcement, or just quiet companionship, I truly enjoy connecting with animals and making them feel safe and loved! I do work full-time, but pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to go home on my lunch break to let the dogs out, give them some love, and let them run around the backyard. I always make time in the mornings and evenings for walks, playtime, and snuggles, so your pet will still get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to run and play. We have two energetic and friendly golden retrievers who love having other dogs to play with. We do keep them in crates during the day when we are at work and during the night when they sleep. We have plenty of space to put extra crates if need be. We can accommodate whatever works best for your pup!

“Claire is absolutely awesome! It’s difficult any time you leave your fur babies at home for a prolonged period, it’s hard to know who to trust and if they will get along with that person too, but we truly were fortunate to have found Claire! My pups looked ecstatic every day they spent with her, her communication and pictures sent daily, make that time away less difficult. She spent time with them and was on time with all her check ins. We are so grateful to have her in our lives. You can tell how passionate she is about animals. Thanks for caring for our babies, like they were your own!”


About: Hey!! My name is Nikky and I am very excited to help with of all your pet care needs. I have taken care of animals my whole life and currently have a pit-husky mix and a one-eyed cat! I understand the anxiety of leaving your pets behind and I would love the opportunity to help give you and your fur babies some peace of mind. I am willing to do drop in visits, dog walking, feeding and watering plus any supplements needed. I will definitely give them lots of love and playtime!! My goal is to leave your pets happier than I found them! I’m currently a full time student at ODU, but I can be flexible with my schedule. I will typically be free most weekends and evenings, but just message me with any questions and we can work things out! While I cannot open my own home to your pets, I am more than willing to take care of yours in the comforts of their own home. I always take care to respect both yours and your pets boundaries. I understand many pets are anxious when their owners are away and strive to ensure maximum comfort for them while under my care!

“Ashley went above and beyond to take care of our pups! I was nervous using the app as it was my first time, but I felt so comfortable leaving them in her care! I would 100% recommend having Ashley take care of your fur babies!! She was amazing!!”


“This was our first time using Rover or trusting anyone other than family with our pets. Shelbie immediately made us feel at ease with how attentive, professional and friendly she was with us and our pets. She was on top of everything and gave our pets quality care and love while we were gone! She provided thoughtful updates and helped our pets feel comfortable and come out of their shells. For the first time ever we were able to take a vacation and have peace of mind. I highly recommend her as a sitter!!”
