“Matt was great watching our dog Phoebe. We got lots of updates and photos of them playing. Phoebe was worn out from playing so much and so happy! Definitely using Matt again.”

“Kelsey was great! Excellent communication while I was on vaca! Couldn't have asked for a better sitter while we were gone! I will definitely be taking advantage of Kelsey's great sitter skills in the future!”

“This was our first time having Candice do overnights with our boy Oreo who is 2.5 years old for 5 nights and we really enjoyed being able to not have any stress while on vacation. She stayed at our home for the entire 6 days and did not leave once. We returned home and our house looked exactly like we left it...very clean. We would highly recommend her as she was on time and very responsible with letting us know that we could travel stress free while she took great care of our pup. She also made sure that Oreo had his meds daily. We have already booked her for our next vacation.”

“Bailey was fantastic. House was just as it was left and I’m very happy I used Rover to find her. I was much happier leaving him with her than putting in a dare care type place. Bailey was very kind and I could tell she cares for pets well.”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I could walk. I can potty train puppies. And teach your babies so many cool tricks and teach them to wait for their food instead of rushing to it. I’m free most of the time I’m actually working on starting my own buisness in pet care and training! I love taking my pets out on car rides and walks. I dont have a fenced in yard but I prefer to go sit outside with the babies, and get some play time I while we're out there. I dont like leaving the babies outside all of their own but thats my person preference.
About: I’m Megan! I love animals and nature, having over a decade of hands-on experience, I offer specialized care for pets at every life stage. My background includes fostering puppies and kittens, bottle feedings, administering medications to seniors, and implementing safety protocols for reactive dogs. Whether your pet needs high-energy play or gentle, specialized attention, I have the expertise to ensure they are safe and happy while you’re away. As an independent contractor primarily working from home, I offer a level of flexibility that most sitters don’t. My schedule allows me to prioritize your pet’s routine, ensuring they receive consistent attention, timely potty breaks, and companionship throughout the workday! Your pet’s peace of mind is my top priority! I always do a meet and greet to build a bond with your fur baby and walk through their routine and setup. This ensures stress-free transition and guarantees I can maintain the high safety standards!
“Paige was an outstanding sitter for Princess, and a very separation anxiety, Panache. She made sure that his food was upstairs under my bed, so that he could access it. It does take her awhile to answer texts from me, but her care of my pets and home was excellent.”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities for over 10 years. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I am patient, dependable, and make sure every pet feels loved and comfortable while their owner is away. I currently work full-time, but I am home by 4:00 pm during the week. I am available most weekends, so I can provide consistent drop-ins, walks, or playtime that fits your pet's routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience following detailed instructions and keeping pets on schedule with meals, walks, and medications if needed. In your home, I respect your space while making sure your pet feels secure and loved.
About: I have been around animals, especially dogs my whole life. I have three labs and my one lab has had puppies before so I have been around puppies as well. I have had big dogs and small dogs, so i’m comfortable around any size. I have pet sat for neighbors/family/friends etc. I am pretty flexible towards the afternoon and night. I am currently finishing out the semester, so in 2-3 weeks I will be a lot more free to do more drop ins! Not looking to pet sit at my house, but am available to come to drop ins! I can take your pets for walks/ play fetch/ feed/ and just hangout!
“Ronnie was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I am very particular about my little pet and she made me feel so comfortable knowing she was taking care of her. She followed all my notes to a "t" and even gave me a "poop report" that I asked for :). She is an amazing person and I can't say enough good things about her”

“Ashlee took on a two dog household for a week long stay as a dog and house sitter and did an amazing job. She was great at communicating before the stay and throughout the stay, and she could problem solve little things to not disturb me on my trip. Ashlee provided the dogs with exercise above what was asked, she cleaned up the house before she left (including the not so fun task of picking up poop from the yard!), and she kept my mind at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to book!”
“Cyndi is amazing! I have a dog aggressive/ reactive dog and she was not hesitant to house sit with her! She sends pictures of your pup with updates and has amazing communication and courtesy! My boyfriend and I are new to the area and don’t have family or many friends here, but someone suggested Rover to us and I am so thankful I found Cyndi. My dog loves her, and she will forever have the best of friends with Cyndi and her sweet amazing daughter!:)”

“Linzy is excellent. My dog is a little funny about new people and she took to Linzy very quickly. Linzy pulled out my girls puzzles and toys and sent me photos (so thankful for that). Did a great job clean9ng up after herself and my girl was relaxed and happy when I got home. I highly recommend Linzy and look forward to using her again in August.”
