“Cynthia went above and beyond to make sure that our kitties were well taken care of during our trip! She was thorough, sent great pictures and was quick to respond. 10/10 would recommend and would book with her again!”

“I was nervous to leave our rescue cats which we’d only had for a couple of months. Two weeks is a long time! Sarah did a great job and played with them every day. Will definitively call her again.”

“Morgan did an excellent job taking care of my senior cat Hana while I was away on vacation for a week. Morgan sent multiple pictures of Hana every day. I could tell by the pictures that she was in great hands which gave me great peace so I could enjoy my vacation. At the first meet and greet I had with Morgan my cat took to her immediately and I did too. I highly recommend Morgan!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my eight years of hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also birds, chickens, and horses. I bring a calm, confident presence that helps animals feel at ease, even those with special needs or unique temperaments. I understand that every pet is different and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. My background in animal care goes beyond the basics, and I treat each pet like my own—with patience, respect, and genuine love. Whether it’s a cuddle session, a long walk, or specialized care, I’m here to provide reliable, attentive service you can count on. Pet care is part of my daily routine, both at work and at home. I’m a kennel attendant at a veterinary clinic, so caring for animals is literally what I do every day. Before and after work, I’m already on a routine with my own two Aussies and three cats — feeding, walking, and playtime are built right in. That means I’m used to early mornings, late evenings, and structured schedules, and I’m happy to work around what’s best for your pets. I always follow your instructions whether that be taking your dog out on a long lead, or constant watching in your fenced in yard. I make sure they get fed on time, potty breaks if they need them a certain time apart, ie every hour, etc.

“Jamie is wonderful! I highly recommend her. She took such great care of my cat Simon. She is genuinely caring and kind and I will definitely book her next time!”

About: We are a homeschooling family with 4 kiddos and 1 lazy pup! We live on 2 acres in a country setting and would love to help you out by watching your favorite furry friends! We’ll love on them and treat them like one of our own! We have had dogs in our lives for as long as we can remember and look forward to meeting you and yours. You can expect daily updates while you are away and you can rest assured that your pet is safe and cared for in a warm and loving environment. We only accept 1 dog at a time so you can be confident in knowing your pet will receive the utmost attention. Katie is home all day to homeschool our kids, so you can also be assured your dog will be active all day long! We both work full-time from home so we are always available to care for your pets! In our home, our pets are a part of our family, we often refer to them as our furry children! We live on almost 2 acres of land, so plenty of space for your pet to play outside. We are happy to accommodate any special requests.

About: About us: I stumbled onto Rover in August 2022 after trying to think of ways to make a little extra money while working at home, full-time, and with 3 kids (approaching middle and high school) that have wanted a dog since probably before they were born. I grew up with dogs and wanted a dog too! But I also didn’t want the vet visits, food expenses…what do we do with a dog when we want to travel? Fast forward to now and dog-sitting has been a truly epic, awesome experience for all of us. By the time you read this it’s likely we will have reached triple digits of dogs that have stayed here. My kids get to learn about ALL different kinds of dogs which has turned them into lifelong dog lovers. I get the companionship I’m looking for while having a flexible hybrid work schedule. And when you choose us your dog becomes part of our pack, and given the very best care 24/7. I am fully aware that your dog is a member of your family and I truly appreciate your trust in selecting us to care for them. I believe strongly in supporting and giving back to the community, so in addition to fostering dogs we also give a portion of my Rover income back to the local animal shelter. Win-win! What it’s like here: We have a huge fenced-in yard with a horse farm behind us so lots of interesting sights, sounds and smells for your doggie to experience. Many like to hang out on the deck and watch the horses behind our home. Your dog will come home relaxed and happy. Many repeat clients tell me their dogs get excited as soon as they turn onto our street for the next visit because they have happy memories of their last stay. We can hang out with your pooch for doggie day care, overnight, weekend visits, short-term (1-2 weeks), and long-term stays (>2 weeks). We will follow your instructions to a T. Is your dog allowed on your couch? Sure, us too! Does your dog sleep with you? Okay, we can do that! No crate? Sounds great! We want them to enjoy themselves as much as we enjoy having them here. They are truly our guest. It's amazing how quickly the dogs adapt and become part of the family. I’ve cared for dogs that require oral and injected medication, senior dogs, dogs with anxiety, and dogs with diapers. YOUR dog is most welcome. I love figuring out what makes them feel safe and comfortable. Did you know? When searching for a sitter check if the review is flagged "verified stay". Anyone can write a review so only the ones that are flagged this way are legitimate Rover stays!

“Madeline is an outstanding cat sitter! She took such great care of my two cats and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She was always punctual and made sure they had their wet food, refilled their dry food and water, played with them, and kept everything clean—including the litter box. She even vacuumed the floor since my dad has allergies, which I truly appreciated. I’m so glad I found her here—she’s easily the best pet sitter you could ask for. I highly recommend booking her right away. She’s absolutely wonderful!”

“Scott took amazing care of my girl who needs extra help getting around. He was very attentive and sent detailed updates along with photos after each drop-in. My dog had a lot of fun with Scott and she seemed very comfortable and relaxed around him. Highly recommend him!”

“Caroline was great looking after our kitties while we were on vacation. We have a diabetic cat and she learned to give him his insulin. Very appreciative of her willingness to do that so we didn't have to worry about him! Thank you, Caroline!”

Ashley H.

“Grace is awesome! Caring, committed to taking top notch care of my dog, and responsible. We are so grateful to be able to rely upon her! Awesome care provider!”

“In the past we’ve used a boarding service for our kitty Douglas, but due to him coming home stressed out more often than not this time we decided to try rover for our 6 day trip and we are glad we did! Luy followed all our directions and we came home to a happy kitty cat! We had no issues while away and felt like our baby was very safe with Luy. We will be using her again when we take our next trip!”

“Vanessa was great and a huge help! Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of animals for it seems like my whole life. I have experience administering medication both orally and through syringes and love to spoil dogs when walks and cuddles. I work for a school district so I my school day runs from 7:30-2:30, so no pet would be alone for long. I can do weekdays and weekends. I have experience going into someone’s home and watching their animals from there. I find it’s easier for on them when they are in their own home environment. I follow your routine and instructions and will let you know if I have any questions or anything comes up.

“Jessica and Luis are ah-mazing!! I reached it to them on short notice and they were still willing to meet with me and car for my 2 cats while I visited some friends for the weekend. It was my first time using a pet sitter so I was a little nervous but they made me feel at ease leaving Smokey and Pippa for a few days. They sent pictures and texted updates after each visit. Highly recommend them and will not hesitate to book with them again!”

Sarah L.

“Heather took really good care of my cats while I was away for a few days. She sent great pictures and updates, so I knew each day how they were doing. I would definitely book with Heather again!”

Amanda S.

“Amy is an excellent pet sitter! She took great care of Birdie, exactly as she needed it. Her flexibility is appreciated - she even brought in our trash cans and package deliveries. We absolutely will ask her to sit for our cat again, soon. Book her! 😊👍🏻”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was little, I would dog sit & house sit for my neighbors back in Illinois & just enjoy making dogs happy with play & quality time because most don’t like being alone! My sister has a puppy and cat so I’d also help her out with watching them when she goes away :) I have an online jewelry business so my schedule is very flexible! I can pretty much be there whenever you need me and work around your schedule. Ensure pets are fed according to their specific diet and feeding schedule. Always provide fresh water, checking throughout the day to make sure their bowls aren’t empty. Take pets for regular walks, or engage them in play to expend energy, particularly for active breeds. Provide appropriate toys to keep pets entertained and mentally stimulated.
