“We have Jenni care for our dog and reptiles every time we go out of town. She is reliable, and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is well cared for! It is so nice to know that we do not need to worry about the pets when we are away!”
“Melissa was wonderful with our sometimes nervous dog! Pearl was comfortable immediately with Melissa and we felt very comforted knowing Pearl was in good, loving hands.”
“Chelsea is an amazing sitter and I would recommend her to anyone looking for care. She’s thorough, kind, communicative and my dog loves her to pieces. I have a timid dog who needs some extra love, which Chelsea has bundles of. If you book with Chelsea, your pet will be cared for and happy. THANK YOU!!”
About: I work for a doggie daycare and dog walking company and I walk up to 10 dogs at a time by myself in all kinds of weather. In hot weather, I bring them to shaded parks. I use healthy treats for training and every dog improves, some dramatically. My business partner and I have given sick or injured dogs wagon rides on paved bike trails to get them fresh air and socialization with their friends. At the time of this writing, between the daycare and Rover, I have worked with 80 dogs. I am currently working full time on weekdays, but I’m available on weekends for dog walking, house sitting and drop-in visits. Dog walking is included with house sitting. I am available to pet sit in client’s homes and walk dogs. I am an avid hiker, so I would take them for walks and runs if appropriate. I double check to ensure harnesses are adjusted properly and comfortable. I use a dog walking belt to attach leashes to, keeping my hands free to pick up after them. If another dog passes, I distract my dogs by offering treats for sitting, staying and directing attention at me. I love taking them to play in parks or the yard, and give lots of love, head scratches and belly rubs! I take time to train so they will trust me and come to me when called. I use a happy, excited voice to encourage them to walk, and a calm, gentle voice when giving them a treat so they learn to take it gently from my hand. I even learned commands in Spanish to help a dog who understands that language best. In addition, I have earned online certificates in Dog Emotion and Cognition from Duke University and Animal Behavior and Welfare from the University of Edinburgh.
About: I am COVID vaccinated and perfectly happy to mask up for meet and greets. I have 13+ years experience with a difficult and anxious dog. Im able to provide a calm presence for nervous/fearful dogs and I have years of experience with administering oral medications. I’ve had pets my whole life, ranging from cats to dogs to hamsters to rats. I work full time during the day, but I am able to do morning and evening check ins for your pets. I’m a daily cat box scooper in my own home. My weekend availability it higher for longer visits as needed. I am a big fan of maintaining as normal of a schedule as possible for your pets. I’m happy to indulge any quirks (I’ve wiped bottoms after potty breaks) that your pet may have so we can have the best experience together.
About: I have trained my dogs through the Good Canine Citizen training, some trick training and have worked with Guide Dogs for the Blind as a puppy sitter. I work school day hours, leaving at 7am and returning between 3:30 & 3:45... I am an early riser and have several hours to play with pet guests, and I try to be active with my pets after I get home before dark. Weekends I am very free, the only standing commitment I have between April-June is being gone for 4 hours on saturday mornings. I have a small fenced yard area to spend some time outside together, maybe some light ball throwing. I enjoy taking the dogs on walks through the neighborhood, and also enjoy driving the short trip to the off lead dog park at 1000 acres. I have a long line lead to use for unfamiliar doggos so they can roam and play with confidence and safety.
“Heather is an enthusiastic pet sitter! I was worried I wouldn't be able to find a cat sitter on rover, but she fit the bill! Her own experience with special needs cats and her obvious love of them means I will be calling her back.”
“Jason goes above and beyond as a sitter! He’s considerate, takes amazing pics of my babies, and is a great communicator. I feel safer and more secure about leaving my babies with him than I do my own mother.”

“Bridgett did a magnificent job with our two cats. They are both shy, but came out from hiding after a few days. She gave them INABA Churu pet treats and our cats love them. They were well fed and cared for. When we go again for an extended period of time, we will ask if Bridgett is available.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Summer checking in and visiting my young and shy kitty Casper! She was always on time or early, and her communication was and is excellent. She sent updates with pictures and videos, and I had total peace of mind knowing Casper was in good hands while I was away. She is so wonderful, she brought little gifts and treats for Casper! I trust and recommend Summer, and I would definitely book her again in the future! 🫶🏼”

About: I've loved and cared for rescue pets of every kind. Be them skiddish and yippy, the biggest cuddler, to health issues of all sorts. I'm happy to work with you and your fuzzy buddy. I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of morning and evening availability. Pets may as well be children to me, they need what they need when they need it and I am happy to work your furry friend into my schedule I am very adaptable and quick to learn routines, new locations, and instructions. Every pet and home is different and I am happy to work with that. I am very capable with heavy tasks, large pets, and patient when commands don't work.
About: I look forward to helping people with their animals as part of my work. I love working with animals. I have had dogs and cats my whole life for the most part. Currently I have two cats and dogs of my own. I am actively engaged in dog training and really enjoy it. I do positive reinforcement and redirection only. I am currently engaged in several creative projects working from home. I have the time, flexibility and desire to help my neighbors with their animals. I can do drop ins, administer medications, and provide dog walks. I’m happy to play fetch as well. What I would do would depend on each individual situation and the needs of the pet I am caring for.

Donna O.
“Donna was an associate of mine for over 3 years working at a dog hiking business. During that time, she formed lifelong connections with the dogs and customers. She made everyone feel safe and cared for. Donna often went above and beyond by taking the dogs for runs, caring for them when their owners were running late, picking dogs up outside of our work hours for the convenience of the customer, and watching dogs on weekends. She is always on time, does her job well, and has a special bond with animals. I believe she would be a perfect candidate for Rover and would be a good representative for the company.”
Ashley K.
“Ashley has watched my dog, Rascal, for extended periods of time and successfully deals with his reactivity. He absolutely loves her. There are few people I trust to walk Rascal due to his tendency to be reactive to other dogs nearby. Ashley takes good care of Rascal when she's in charge of him so he stays safe and gets what he needs.”
Patricia H.Star Sitter
“Patty graciously boarded my two cats in her home for about one month. Both of my boys had plenty of space to play and lounge in her spacious finished basement. Patty provided excellent care, feeding both cats on a schedule, taking time to play with them daily, and keeping their litter fresh. She has a good selection of toys, scratchers, and other kitty stuff, including a litter box. This made it easy for me to just drop off the cats and not have to pack too much. Patty's two dogs are both great with cats, but the basement space makes it easy to keep the dogs totally separate from the cats if that is preferred. All in all, boarding my cats with Patty was a wonderful, stress-free experience! I would trust her with my pets any time!”

“They took wonderful care of our feral cat we had in our dorm balcony! Constantly provided loving support, food, water, and shelter, and actively sought out proper care and relocation of him. Except for a few other individuals, they were the primary care provider for him, and took on many responsibilities for his well being. They kept him safe all year, and found a home for him before move out.”
Sarah S.
“Sarah is wonderful with dogs! I've known her many years and have watched her training her own dogs, both large and small breeds. I have seen her use and improve her training skills. She always has her treat bag with her and is very persistent when training. Sarah has done a wonderful job socializing my rescue, Parker, who was very shy about meeting others. She is kind, patient, reliable and trustworthy. What strikes me most about Sarah is how patient and loving she is. She loves dogs and most animals, and has two dogs and two cats of her own. I highly recommend her!”
