“Weiyue and her partner were absolutely amazing cat sitters! Tom was clearly well-loved and cared for while we were away on our trip. It was so reassuring knowing he was in such capable hands. They sent us the photos and updates about Tom every visit. We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving cat sitter.”


“Bobbi is 100% recommended! She was punctual and provided wonderful care for my puppy. She was thorough in spending time and playing with him. She was respectful of our home. Bobbi is a pleasure to work with! Book with confidence.”

“Erin was wonderful! She was very open and communicative coming up to the visit, taking the time to ask thoughtful questions and asking additional details about Howard. She arrived on time, provided thorough check-ins on the app, and sent me pictures as well letting me know he was happy and healthy.”

“Sabrina went above and beyond during her recent care of our 10-year-old corgi. She's warm and knowledgeable and incredibly trustworthy. She even had to take our pup to the ER for a sudden UTI and we were so relieved our doggie was in such good hands. Sabrina is wonderful!”

“Jordan was absolutely amazing! She was very professional and pleasant. Our dog connected with her immediately and when we returned home all was well with our home and with out dog!! 5 Star service!!!!”

“This was my first time using Rover and leaving our two kiddos at home. Both our dog and cat are high stress in the car so I wanted to find a way to allow them to stay home when we are away. I think Mckalynn is the best person to use this app. She sent us a detailed card each time she saw our kiddos. She also included pictures of each fur baby. We will be using Rover and Mckalynn again the next time we are out of town! This was just a simple and easy experience. She gave us so much piece in mind and kept things tidy for us. If you are really nervous about using a sitter and Rover don't be… Mckalynn will love your kiddos like her own. She is absolutely heaven sent!!!!”

About: My love for animals has given me experience in pet sitting with cats and dogs. I had two childhood dogs that taught me everything I know about pet care. Before my neighbor moved away, I would drop by her house after school to check on her cat while she was at work. As I got older, my mom would recommend me to her clients from her cleaning service when asked if she knew any pet-sitters who could watch their dogs or cats for a couple of hours, weekends, or on holidays. And while in college, I pet-sat and walked my roommates' dogs whenever they needed it. My experience as a pet sitter ensures that your beloved family member will be safe and content while in my care. I am available for full-time house sitting any day of the week or drop-in visits/walks Monday through Friday from 11 am to 6:30 pm. But I am willing to accommodate earlier or later times. I will follow your pet's schedule to the second to ensure they are happy and healthy while in my care. If anything happens or I have questions, I will contact you immediately.

“Jenna is great! She cares about your animals and will follow any instructions you leave and is sure to check in with you. Also she takes great pictures of your pet for you. Will be rebooking!”
About: I've had dogs since I was 8 years old. I've always had a big heart, so I took the role of main caregiver for my pups and my kitty; I walked, fed, cleaned them which continued into my adulthood as I was the committed carer for my friends' dogs. For a short time (4 months), I moved to Mexico and was a live-in dog carer for two puppies for a flight attendant with a very sporadic schedule before I moved on and becomg a dual carer for my partner's three dogs of varying ages and we rescued a kitten from the streets and raised him. Unfortunately, I also have experience with caring for aging doggies and sitting with them as they passed over the doggy rainbow. I currently work full-time with special needs kids from 8-5 daily. I'm available for drop-ins after work, overnight stays and I have full weekend availability! I am available for walks and stays at your home. My care for your home will reflect the deep care I have for your pet. I would love know what you freel comfortable with in your home and integrate your needs as I make sure your pet(s) are well cared for!

“Sabra was great with our dog and very professional! She sent multiple pictures along with a written overview for each visit to our house. We felt very comfortable and knew our dog was in good hands. I 100% recommend her and we will definitely be using her again! Thanks so much Sabra.”

“First time using rover and was a bit nervous about using someone I didn’t know but Reagan was great! Check ins on time and great communication. She did a meet and greet with my cat and dog beforehand which helped my nerves. Will definitely book Reagan again!”

“Mona is awesome! NiKi has a great time with her and she is DEPENDABLE! Let's face it....that is what we worry about the most. Will they be there when we expect them or will our fur babies be crossing their legs wondering why no one has shown up? Peace of mind that my girl is being taken care of when I am unable to is worth so much! I would highly recommend her!”

About: FREE extra pets for sitting! Hi, I’m Andrew. I’m a US Army Veteran of the Iraq War, 2014 Texas A&M graduate, currently enrolled in an online graduate program through Texas Tech for Clinical Rehab Counseling. My goal is to work with other Veterans when I graduate. I walk multiple Rover doggos every morning and evening, and even weekends. I pride myself on being punctual, having good communication with my clients, and making bonds with the dogs I walk. Book me to add your loves to my schedule. I am a long-time dog owner, currently two huskies who I consider part of my family. I walk them every day, and they let me know when it’s time. Spoiled with love, toys, more love, treats, even more love, good food, a little more love and scratches of course. Since joining Rover, I’ve gained a wealth of experience handling dogs of different ages and needs, and clients with different expectations and levels of instruction. I’ve sat for disabled dogs, older dogs, young and hyper dogs. I’ve sat for and walked dogs in apartments, gated communities, even a senior living facility. And I’m ready to go above and beyond. I helped a client who had surgery by taking their dog to the vet. If I can do it, I will help. I have a big heart for pets. They love us unconditionally after all. They deserve it. Please note: I do not sit for or walk aggressive dogs or breeds known for dangerous behavior. I, as a provider, am open to legal liability if there’s ever any incidents. It’s simply not worth the risk, and though I am insured, I cannot afford the liability those types of incidents would require. I hope you understand, this is a business decision, not a judgment. Also please note I am not a dog trainer. My dogs are spoiled! If you are looking for someone to walk your dog like all those trainer videos, that’s not me. I want dogs to have fun on their walks, not feel like they just get what they can get out of them. I let them sniff around, look at ducks or squirrels, mark, all while maintaining safe boundaries for your pet and other pedestrians and pets. And none of this means I will not reinforce training expectations you have already instilled in your pet, simply let me know what those are. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to get to know me better. We can have a video chat. As to my schedule, I am currently in an online graduate program, so I have a flexible availability. Please reach out to me about my current walking schedule for regular clients as to what times I have available and what may be best for you. For some reason, this app allows people to book requests during times I am already booked, so that is one thing we’d have to discuss. What can you expect from me? Lots of love, cuddles, scratches, treats, playtime. Your pets will have my full attention. I know I charge a little more than others, but that’s because you’re paying for the best. Someone who is reliable, trustworthy with your home and pets, and who meets and exceeds your expectations and instructions. I once hired a sitter who didn’t realize I had a camera in my den. She spent 95% of the time I paid for to give my dogs some attention on her phone. She even swatted away my dogs when they approached! Then snapped some pics, fed them and left. I NEVER want my clients to feel that way. I will treat your pets the way I would hope people would treat my own.

“Claudia is a wonderful, personable care giver to our pups. I felt totally confident in her drop ins while we were away. She sent pics and video so I could see my babies happily eating and playing. We are using her for future dates and are so happy to have found her!”

“Esmerelda is great at what she does, my dog warmed up to her very quickly and they had fun together. She's a really sweet lady and easy to talk to. This is my first time using the app but feel so comfortable leaving my puppy in good hands with Esmerelda.”

“This is the third time I’ve booked Britteny! I have upmost trust in her taking care of my fur babies! I know when I’m away, there are no worries about whether my babies are being cared for well! I will definitely book again and you should too! Thank you Britteny!”

First time having Nicole look after our two cats. This was the first time having anyone look after our newest addition Shadow. Shadow instantly warmed up to Nicole and Nicole took great care of both of our cats and kept us well updated after each of her visits. Will definitely use Nicole again in the future.

Tara was wonderful with Peaches. She spent extra time with her and Peaches was relaxed, well cared for and happy when I returned. Communication was good and the pictures were great. The house was in good condition and the areas around the cat dishes and litterbox had obviously been kept clean.

Weiyue and her partner were absolutely amazing cat sitters! Tom was clearly well-loved and cared for while we were away on our trip. It was so reassuring knowing he was in such capable hands. They sent us the photos and updates about Tom every visit. We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving cat sitter.
