“Ellen was fantastic with Clover. She came to do a “Meet and Greet” and then we walked Clover to the park. Clover immediately took to Ellen, and I would not hesitate to have her watch Clover again. I would highly recommend!”
“We had a fantastic experience. We booked her last minute while visiting Orlando for Universal, and she was incredibly responsive and accommodating. She even came the night before to meet us and our dog, which gave us so much peace of mind. During each visit, she sent detailed updates and photos, and we felt completely confident our dog was in great hands. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone needing reliable, caring pet care.”
“Ren is great with my cats! She always takes good care of them, accomodates all their weird eating preferences, and is very communicative with me and sends lots of cute pics :) definitely highly recommend for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter!”
About: Not only have I lived with dogs my entire life, but I have also been taking care of and walking dogs since my early teenage years. Over the years, I have been responsible for both senior dogs and puppies. Not only do I have experience with different ages, but also with different breeds. I currently work part-time, so I have a lot of time that I can devote to pet care. My work schedule is not always the same, but I am generally available in the mornings and afternoons and on the weekends. When I care for pets, I am very attentive to their needs and prioritize spending as much time with them as possible. I am also able to match the exercise level needs for different pets. I love to exercise and get outside, so I will always be excited to get them the movement that they need.

“Kiirsten D. was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She went above and beyond in caring for my puppy, showing incredible patience and attentiveness. My pup had several accidents in the house, and Kiirsten handled each one without hesitation, keeping everything clean and comfortable. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, treating them with kindness and love. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely care for pets like they’re my own. I’ve grown up around family pets and have experience helping care for them, along with dog walking and daily routines. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a playful walk or quiet time at home, I keep things calm, familiar, and homey so they feel at ease the whole time. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I also go on daily runs, and I’m happy to include pets that enjoy being active and going for walks. I have open availability and a spacious two-bedroom home where pets can comfortably roam and feel at ease during overnight stays. I care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. In my home, I provide a clean, spacious space with cozy beds, toys, and plenty of attention so they feel at home. In a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions, while making sure they get care, exercise, and companionship. My goal is always to keep pets relaxed, happy, and well cared for.
“Daniel was super thoughtful and a great pet sitter for my cat Roy. Roy fell in love with him immediately, and I received lots of updates and pictures throughout. I'll happily rebook!”
About: Growing up I lived on a farm so I’ve always been good with animals. We always had dogs and cats around that we would take care of. I now have my own cat and have taken care of friends and families dogs and cats throughout the years when they are away. I am free after 6PM Monday- Friday. Can do early morning walks/drop ins Monday- Friday between 5:30-7:30AM. I also have open availability Saturday and Sundays. I live in a pet-friendly apartment. There is plenty of space, couches and pillows for your pet! I also have some toys and feeding supplies if no dietary restrictions.
About: I have worked with all kinds of animals throughout my life, learning to train cats and dogs on my own. I’m also familiar with exotic pets such as pythons and bearded dragons. I can comfortably administer different kinds of medications to most animals, including oral liquids and pills, sub-Q and IM injections, and topicals. Currently I am available as a full-time pet sitter for house-stays and drop-ins. I often sit for multiple houses at once, doing house-stays for one client and drop-ins for 1-3 others depending on the services and times needed per client. When I meet an animal for the first time, my priority is gaining their trust. I spend time casually observing so I can take note of their personality and physical forms of communication, but I don’t get too close or move too quickly until I’ve given the animal a chance to take me in as well. Once trust is established, we can move on to wearing leashes and harness, medication routines, playing, etc.
“Luz and her husband are absolutely wonderful!! They took such great care of my kitty. She always had fresh food and water and a clean litter box. They took lots of great pictures too! This was my second time having them pet sit for me and I’ll be booking with them again next time I go on vacation!”
“Gregory is amazing. I have used him more than once and my dog loves him. He is so good with my dog and I have a very large and hyper dog. I highly recommend.”
“Mary was very kind and Milo enjoyed his time with her. She communicated well and always put pictures in Milo’s report card. Milo definitely felt cared for during a busy week for me.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, big or small, from horses and parrots to turtles and more. Caring for a variety of animals has helped me understand their individual needs and how to keep them safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m always looking for ways to improve my skills like through new training techniques and experiences, and I adapt easily to different environments and personalities. I’m also a quick thinker who stays calm in unexpected situations, pay close attention to behavior changes, and treat every pet how I would want someone to treat my own. I am a college student in the offseason so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I am available anytime during the week. If I am caring for your pup/cat on a certain day, I will make sure I have no other commitments so I can be able to care for your pet properly. Your dog/cat will be supervised 24/7 when they are with me. I also like to make sure nothing is on the counters or the ground for your pet to eat. Also I make sure to send updates while I’m with them to show that your pet is safe and happy.

“Enrique came through for me when I needed a sitter last minute. He kept good care of my apartment, and was patient when I had an issue getting him the keys to the apartment. Ollie was in good health and spirits when I returned.”
“Anthony is amazing, the care and love he showed for Persi was amazing. All the camera shots were fantastic to get every time he visited. Even brought in our packages! 10 out of 10!”
Riverfront pet parents share their Rover experiences
It is such a huge load off my mind to know my fur babies are in such good hands. Gabrielle takes such great care of them and sends detailed notes and photos so I know how they’re doing. We also discussed emergency plans in case I got in an accident while traveling and I appreciate her understanding about making contingency plans. Book her without hesitation!
Alex was available for a last minute booking to do check ins for my cat since my original cat sitter stopped responding 5 days before our trip. Alex was great with Keke and has a lot of experience with cats. They kept me updated and voiced any concerns while I was away.
Mary Anna came through in a very last minute (hours really) call for cat care. I am forever grateful for her response and loving attention she gave to my two kitty babies last weekend. She is an exceptional pet care provider and just an all around wonderful person.
Astrid was amazing as always. One of our cats was diagnosed with a kidney issue just before going away for two weeks but Astrid was amazing at dealing with a new feeding and medication routine while we were gone. I got constant updates and we even had to make some changes to our cat's feeding routines while we were away to get her to eat. Astrid even worked with and communicated with our other cat sitter to make sure they were both on the same page. I'd give 6 stars if I could!
Amal took care of my 3 cats while I was away and she was wonderful! She was responsive, reliable and kind. I was shocked to see pictures of my skittish cat accepting pets from Amal almost immediately! I would definitely recommend Amal and we will be using her again in the future.
Nothing but good things to say about my experience with Rebecca!! She took my pup on several walks this week and during each one provided thoughtful updates. She was even willing to move around her schedule to try to best accommodate my needs. Will 100% be reaching out for more drop in visits and walks with Rebecca in the future.
Julia took such good care of our two cats!!! We were out of the country for a week and it was so refreshing to not need to worry about them. She often went above and beyond and hung out with them for longer than we paid for. She was able to give our cat with asthma his medication with no trouble. Even our very shy Siamese cat came out to meet and hang out with her! I’ll definitely be booking with Julia again and again.
