“Couldn’t recommend Bobby more enthusiastically! He was super easy to communicate with from the start and all the way through the process, and he took great care of our cats while we were away for the holidays. Like a lot of others, our flight home was canceled and we were away for a few days longer than anticipated. Bobby held things down at home and was very, very kind and flexible about it– having his help was a tremendous comfort during what was otherwise a pretty stressful time. I’ll be happy to contact him again the next time we need care for our pets, and I encourage you to do the same!”
“Amanda did a great job with our babies for the week we were out of town!! It was so comforting knowing that she was there playing with them and making sure they were safe without us :) Thank you so much Amanda and the kitties thank you too!”
“My German Shepherd Dog just doesn't take to strangers very well....in fact, she can scare them off if they don't understand dogs. Not so with Alex. One meeting and they're buds. On our second meeting, Phoebe ran to him like an old friend. To be able to have a sitter/walker who really understands dogs, especially the more sensitive ones, is a lifesaver for me and for Phoebe. Also, Phoebe is powerful when she wants to be and Alex is more than capable of handling her. We are so glad for Rover and for Alex.”
“I wasn’t sure how this would work out but Byron kept me updated the whole time I was away and gave me the peace of mind so I could enjoy my trip, knowing my cat was being taken good care of. Thank you Byron!”
“Dani was a conscientious and communicative sitter for our kitty, Smudge, while we were away. She replied quickly every time we reached out, took great care of Smudge, honored all of our care requests, and sent multiple pictures from each visit. I could tell from the pictures that Smudge loved Dani! I always worry about our kitty when we’re away, but Dani helped alleviate any stress I had about leaving him. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“He was very communicative and even did extra things that I forgot to ask him to do in the midst of travel prep — e.g., taking out my garbage bins. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel took wonderful care of my cats while I was gone- great communication which prevented any worries on my part, and I came home to happy girls. I would absolutely book her services again.”
“Iris is wonderful! She clearly loves my dog, and sends tons of adorable pictures of them together. She has also accommodated my weird nursing schedule when she can and offered referrals to other Rover friends who might be able to step in when she can’t. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Lillian was SO fantastic. I am so grateful that Newt was in such good hands them, updates were incredible and Newt was such a happy camper the whole time i was away due to Lillian’s dedication. THANK YOU!”
About: Animals love me, and I love them! My family has always had dogs, and I was always the one to walk them. Tiny dog? I'll walk them. Medium dog? I'll walk them. Big dog? I'll walk them. REALLY big dog? I'll walk them. I have walked dogs of all sizes, ages, and speeds. No matter the size, dogs respond well to my energy, and they can tell I'm excited to see them. Even if your dog doesn't like walks, I can stop by and let them out in your backyard and even throw a ball for them 1 to 100 times. I'm currently working part-time from home on a boring computer. Happy to take a break to hang out with your cute animal(s) instead! I usually go on a walk 1-2 hours a day, so why not bring your dog along? I also have a car, so I can get to your neighborhood in a breeze. I have experience walking reactive dogs. I am aware of my surroundings and always cross the street safely if I spot another dog approaching. I always communicate with dogs in a friendly and calm demeanor.
“We are so glad to have found Rebecca. Whenever we leave town we feel at ease knowing she always takes the time to play with our kitty and interact with her everyday. Rebecca goes above and beyond.”
“Melissa made the experience easy and communication was superb with updates and pics. She also watered my garden bed which was very helpful. She is caring, diligent and I can leave know my cat is in great hands.”
“This was my first time using Rover for our 3 cats. Chris came for a visit the day before we left, we went over everything, and he showed up and did everything exactly like I requested while we were gone. He also sent us a whole bunch of pictures each visit, which allowed me to figure out one of the cats was guarding and binging on the dry food! We changed course with the food, and Chris seemed to adjust easily. The cats weren't anxious when we got home, and our shy cat came out from hiding to interact with a stranger for the very first time! Win, win, win!”
About: I have had pets all my life, and I absolutely adore animals. I have two special needs dogs, and I believe they have saved my life. Pets are the best of us and deserve the best of us in return. I currently work independent contractor positions, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I maintain the pet care for my partner and myself everyday with multiple walks for our four dogs. Pet care is the best part of the day. Unfortunately, I cannot take more pets into my own home, but in someone else’s home, I would respect the space, maintain a clean and professional environment, and offer care and affection for the pet present.
About: I’ve raised dogs my whole life and will treat yours like my own. From home cooked meals to medications and personalized care, I respect each dog’s needs, follow instructions meticulously, and send plenty of photo and text updates. Your pup will enjoy exercise, attention, and affection all day; feeling safe, happy, and truly spoiled. I work remotely full time, so your pup enjoys all day company, walks, cuddles, and supervision. Never lonely, always spoiled, from sunrise to bed time. I read canine body language, respect individual needs, reward positive behaviors, give breaks, provide exercise, cook special meals, and create a safe, happy space for every single pup.
“Carly is so great with our cats and always gives such sweet and reassuring updates. They were our first choice for a long international trip and took great care of Spike and Angel while we were gone. They were also super helpful with other tasks like trash and mail. They are truly a lovely human and we highly recommend them to any other cat parent!”

Kathryn M.
“My partner and I took a day trip and needed someone to come and walk and feed our 2 dogs. No problem, right? Well. One of our dogs is a sweet, sociable angel. The other? She’s a very timid reactive scaredy cat. I was so worried all day that the person we hired wouldn’t be able to get through to our problem child. But lo and behold, Kat was on the scene! They took the time to earn our girl’s trust and was able to walk both our dogs with no issues. Kat is a dog whisperer and really cares about their clients. They are a must hire! You will have peace of mind if you choose them for sure. 🙌🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼”

Portsmith pet parents share their Rover experiences
Paige did a great job with my cat — he unexpectedly had to go to the vet the morning of the sitting so his eye had to be monitored and he needed meds mixed into his food, but she adapted to the situation very quickly and kept him great company while I was gone!
Joe is the absolute best! He takes amazing care of our dear cat, Stormy. He’s impeccably thorough and detailed. We adore the beautiful and professional-quality photos he takes of our precious angel. We don’t worry about anything and he allows us the opportunity to see family and friends away. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Ben & Jeff
I had a great experience with Gyllian! They cared for my two cats over the course of three days with drop-in visits. I really appreciated their open communication and the regular updates they provided—it gave me peace of mind while I was away. They even brought in my packages, which was a thoughtful extra touch. I would absolutely hire them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.
Lauren was amazing with our puppy, Olive! She was gentle, patient, and attentive—exactly what we needed for a young pup still settling into her routine. Lauren gave us detailed updates and clearly cared about Olive’s well-being, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful for her help and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
We’re so thankful to have Rebecca as our trusted sitter to give us peace of mind while we are away! She does an amazing job of following our cat’s lead. He was nervous this weekend because he’s not fully used to our new place, but we came home to a very happy boy. Thank you so much as always, Rebecca!!
Venus was great! She took such good care of our kitty and garden while we were away, and provided fun photos and videos. It was a relief knowing our kitty was getting the loves, food, medicine, and care he needed while we were away. Venus was also very responsive to communications. We'll be happy to have her back again.
