“Jody was amazing with our dogs! Very caring, attentive, and always on time for daily visits. Our dogs loved spending time with her, and she played with them so well. We also really appreciated all the photos and videos she sent, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren was amazing! This is the first time I left my pup at our home and Lauren checked in on him several times through the day. She left detailed notes and took several pictures. Definitely gave us peace of mind! Thank you!”
“Alissa is so sweet and did an amazing job checking in on my cat Ella during the holidays! She even went the extra mile and helped me keep my plants alive :) Would definitely recommend!”
“Hannah is such a sweetheart! She was so considerate and conscious of the space and of my fur bb. (As well as pleasantly communicative and professional throughout our experience )💖 It’s obvious that she’s authentically an animal lover through and through 🥰”
“Krystal was a great pet sitter! She took amazing care of two cats, one of which who has special care requirements, and sent thorough updates during her visits. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Javier was amazing with Cooper! He followed directions perfectly and was incredibly patient. Cooper is a Golden Retriever and can be quite stubborn especially as he’s nearing 10 and struggles with stairs and even leaving the house sometimes but Javier handled him with so much care and understanding. He kept me updated, called when needed, and sent photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Cooper clearly loves Javier, and that says everything. We will absolutely be booking Javier again very soon. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello, I’m Molly😊 I’ve been working with animals since I was a little girl, I was lucky enough to grow up right next door to a dog sitter/walker. I have been helping her and doing my own dog sitting/walking for the past 15 years. I have always loved all animals from a very young age and grew up with 2 dogs of my own. I am very experienced with all types of dogs of all different breeds, ages, and disabilities. You can count on me that your dog is in great care! I’m currently taking a break from school for the summer so my schedule is pretty open. If you let me know a day in advance I can most likely make it work. All depends on you! I ask what your expectations are and what the regular routine is. If you need multiple long walks I can do it or if you just want someone to keep them company I can do that as well.
“We’re so glad to have found Jacqueline on rover! She stayed with our cats the entire 30 minutes (sometimes more) we requested and made sure they had everything they needed. We felt so much better having her there to look out for our cats while we were away. I would gladly recommend her to anyone, and we will definitely be booking with her again whenever we are out of town.”
About: Hi! I’m an active dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own German Shorthaired Pointer, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs, puppies, and larger breeds. I genuinely love spending time with animals and understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, exercised, and cared for while their owners are away. I also have a professional background as an EMT, which has taught me responsibility, attention to detail, and how to stay calm in any situation. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, lots of playtime, patience, or just some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like family! I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive, and I’ll always send plenty of updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands! I’ve always loved being around animals, and as a full-time dog mom, I have a very flexible schedule and a lot of time to dedicate to pet care. Spending time with dogs is genuinely something I enjoy every day, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I know how important pets are to their families, and I love being someone owners can trust and rely on. I take pet care very seriously and always make safety, attention, and communication my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. During walks, I’ll make sure your dog is exercised safely, stays hydrated, and gets plenty of attention and care. For drop-ins, I’ll be responsible, reliable, and attentive to your pet’s routine, whether that means feeding, potty breaks, playtime, medication, or simply giving them companionship while you’re away. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Victoria was great! She took great care of our 3 cattos, she was on time, kept us informed, shared pictures with us, etc She understood our cats’ personalities and was able to connect with them accordingly. She was extremely helpful and supportive, we will definitely keep her in mind for future bookings.”
“Kailyr is a caring, attentive, and responsive sitter! One of my boys needed medication while I was away and she was able to give it to him no problem. You can tell she truly cared for my cats and is an animal lover. Would love to book with her again!”
“Xiao did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away for a week. She even cleaned up vomit, which I didn’t ask her to do, and sent me photos and updates every day so I knew how they were doing. My cats are very needy, and usually when I come back from a trip, they meow and complain nonstop. But this time, they were so calm—like I had never even left. That really showed me their emotional needs were well taken care of. I will definitely book with her again next time I travel!”
About: A few fun facts about me: 🚽 I clean the litter box as often as I flush my own toilet 🥗 My pets eat organic, while I’m perfectly fine with fast food 💇 They get daily grooming, while I have a bad hair everyday 🫧 I keep their bowls spotless and shining 🦮 I make sure dogs get real walks, not just quick potty breaks (And this part might be a little bit long) I truly treat pets as family, but I also believe in raising them in a healthy, balanced way. I don’t just love them, I care about their physical and emotional well-being. I’ve raised my Shiba Inu (Chai) since she was 3 months old, and she’s now 10. Shibas are known for being stubborn, but she is well-trained, emotionally stable and sweet, and always praised by our vet for her health and temperament. I’ve always made sure she has the best care, structure, and attention she needs to thrive. I also have two long-haired cats, one Ragdoll (Mabu) and one British Longhair (Mango), so I’m very familiar with the level of grooming, patience, and daily care they require. Their coats are always well-maintained and tangle-free. Mango went through serious health challenges two years ago when he was 5-month old, and I personally managed his treatment at home for 84 days, followed by months of close care. He is now strong, active, and very healthy. I’ve also handled emergency situations and know how to act quickly when something isn’t right. Through all of this, I’ve become very comfortable with medications, health monitoring, and understanding different pet personalities. I’m patient, observant, and detail-oriented, but also calm and reliable in stressful situations. I’m flexible, communicative, and I genuinely care. Your pet won’t just be looked after, they’ll be understood, respected, and cared for like one of my own. I work part-time and have a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend a good amount of time caring for fur babies throughout the day! I keep a calm, safe home and have experience helping cats and dogs live together comfortably. I take time to understand their personalities and make sure everyone feels at ease.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review for Evelyn – Outstanding Dog Sitter! Evelyn was truly amazing! She stayed in our home to care for our older dog and followed all our directions perfectly. She gave him extra attention, special treatment, and was incredibly thoughtful and cautious with all his elderly needs. We received several updates each day, including photos and messages that gave us so much peace of mind. Evelyn also stayed overnight in our home to watch him which meant the world to us. When we returned home, the house was spotless—actually cleaner than when we left! We feel so blessed to have found Evelyn. She’s truly a treasure, and we look forward to having her back again soon. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional, compassionate pet care!”
“Ashley was a very responsible and well communicated pet sitter. She did all work that I requested and sent me pics and videos daily to let me know how my cats were doing. I would definitely ask her to take care of my cats in the future! Thank you!”

I needed someone to play with my super energetic cat (Skooma) while I have to be away. Skooma loves her and follows her around during her visits. My old, grouchy cat (Bidoof) usually hides when people come in but she seems to stay visible when Victoria is around which is an amazing thing for Bidoof. We love Victoria! She is super nice and accommodating, even when I needed to add a last minute day to her visiting schedule. 💖
Mahaam took care of my cat over the past five days and she was fantastic. She reliably cleaned the litter box, fed my cat and even cleaned up when my cat threw up, which I appreciated more than she knows. Her updates were reassuring, her care was thoughtful and it was clear she genuinely wanted my cat to feel comfortable while I was away. I’d absolutely request her again the next time I’m traveling.
Julie is the best!! I booked with a few other sitters before and I can confidently say that Julie is by far the most reliable and caring one. My dog was happy and tired when we came home - Julie took him on multiple walks and his favorite park. His breakfast and dinner schedules were perfectly on time and I appreciated the many photo updates I received throughout the day. Will definitely book with Julie again!
Kailyr is exceptionally experienced in taking care of cats. She did everything expected and beyond. She is patient, attentive, and very kind to our cat. She even brought healthy treats and fun games for our cat to eat and play with. She is the best sitter I could have had, for sure!
Ashley was amazing with my cats. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and pays attention to the little details. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and I felt super at ease knowing they were with someone reliable and caring. My cats warmed up to her quickly, which honestly says a lot. Everything was smooth, stress-free, and I came home to very happy cats. Would definitely book with her again
