“Sirrine was perfect for our two dogs. Rez and Heidi had nothing but love during our trip away. Sirrine gave us up to date information about our girls and went a step above to clean up a bed one of the girls soiled. We are so grateful for her kindness. We 100% would recommend her service. We will use Sirrine again in the very near future!!!”


“Danielle is going to be our new cat sitter from now on any time we go out of town! She is amazing! Simba is old and doesn’t like new people, but she was able to give him his pill every day! He made a new friend! He even let her pet him, and he usually doesn’t like women. She is the cat whisperer!”

“This was our first time booking with Rover in our new neighborhood/ home and we could not have asked for a better experience. Lesly was prompt and sometimes even early for each visit. The dogs absolutely loved her and didn’t want her to leave. She did an amazing job following instructions for medications, feeding schedules etc.. We will definitely be rebooking with Lesly each and every time.”

“Jennifer was nothing short of absolutely A-MAZING!!! We could NOT be more happy we found her! We are SO excited to have found this service and even MORE excited to know Jennifer is someone we can rely on in the future! WOW! We WILL call on her again!!”

“My dog loves Gisselle and she takes such great care of her! She’s very good with my dog and very reliable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone great to care for your pet!”

“Thank you Austin & Courtland for taking such good care of my frenchies while I was out of town. I was very impressed by your communication and updates on caring for the little pups. I know they appreciated the snuggles, treats, and extra playtime outside with you.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10 years old. I also have my childhood dog, a 16-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle mix, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention dogs need through every stage of life, especially senior dogs. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. As an athlete, I’m very active, responsible, and dependable, so energetic dogs are never a problem for me. I genuinely love animals and always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while with me. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Since I’m home from college for the summer, I’m able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and consistent care during the day. I’m active, reliable, and easy to communicate with, and I’ll always make sure your pet’s routine is followed closely. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided. I grew up caring for my 16-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle mix, so I understand the importance of patience and gentle care, especially with older dogs. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision.

“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Lucky. Josh and Erin treat him like one of their own and it brings me comfort knowing that he is at home when he is there. Truth be told I think he thinks I'm in the sitter.”

“Brianna has been God sent for Bear and I, she has helped out in a big way with Bear when my schedule got hectic these last couple days! We only want her when it comes to Bear”


“Sarah cares for my babies like they are her own. My pups get so excited to see her - whether it is arriving at her home for an overnight or her coming to our house for a drop in, they love her and her family. So grateful to have found someone we trust with our babies!”

About: Hello! I am currently a stay-at-home pet parent with 10+ years of experience caring for fur babies. I have previously worked for a pet hotel where I gained skills in training and grooming. In my personal life, my friends and family often rely on me for pet sitting. I am comfortable and happy to care for cats and large dogs. In fact, I have 3 cats and a 1 year old Australian Shepherd. I’m passionate about providing activities that are mentally enriching in addition to physical exercise and fulfilling their natural drives (ie. snuffle mats for scent & search drive, treibball for herding, dig box for dogs who like to dig, etc). Playing with purpose is so much more fun and rewarding! My preferred schedule is noted in my availability, but I’m happy to accommodate (including last minute availability) whenever I can so please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or concerns before booking. I have a fenced yard, enrichment activities, and a friendly, energetic puppy to keep yours entertained. For visits in your home I can take care of feeding, administer oral medication, take them for a walk, etc depending on your individual preferences. I’m also happy to water your plants and bring in your mail upon request 🙂
“Stephanie did a great job with our cat while we were gone. She sent lots of cute pics to assure us that she was playing and getting lots of love while we were gone. She has a long background with animals and a demeanor that calms them. I can definitely recommend her.”

“Ketsi did an amazing job taking care of my Zuk! She send multiple pictures of them playing and of my handsome pup! She was very communicative! I highly recommend her for a fur baby sitter!”


“Jacob and Terrie C. are great. They sent pictures and messages to me every day during my trip. I was so comfortable after getting the messages that I enjoyed our trip more. I will be calling for Jacob and Terrie C. for other trips.”
Porter dog parents share their Rover experiences
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend Vickie! Vickie has been wonderful with our two Golden Retrievers! Before her first official visit, she came over just to meet our girls, which immediately put both them and us at ease. By the time she left that day, the pups were already in love with her. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for animals really shine through. We came home to two happy, relaxed girls and couldn't be more pleased. We've already planned to book her again — look no further for a dog sitter you can truly trust!

My doggo loves Carrisa! She does amazing and is always so accommodating + flexible to my plans, just absolutely the best 🌟 She will keep you updated, send you photos, and truly care for your pet. It takes a lot to find a person who you and your pet feel comfortable with, so I’m very happy to have found my dog’s sitter 💛🐶

Hailey was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She sent updates, photos and videos everyday of our happy boy. She took him on walks, gave him treats, gave fresh water and gave cuddles. Rudder was in great hands with Hailey and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch him. Definitely will be using her again in the future!
