“Serena took very good care of our new furbaby!! We were a little anxious cuz it was the first time leaving him for a few hours. All was well eI will definitely call on Serena next time.”


“Jo was on time and did a great job with Melvin. She gave him the attention he needed and took him for a walk. She kept us updated and shared some pictures to let us see how he was doing.”

“Jennifer was an amazing sitter for Lucy. I received daily updates with photos and knew she was in great hands. Leaving a younger puppy for a longer vacation was difficult, but knowing she was with a loving family made it so much easier. I highly recommend Jennifer!”

“Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of Rocky. She was a great communicator and I could tell Rocky felt very comfortable with her. I will definitely be using her again for any future pet sitting needs!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From childhood through adulthood, I’ve regularly spent weeknights and weekends caring for pets of friends, family, and neighbors—feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. Whether it’s an energetic pup who needs exercise or a more relaxed companion who just wants company, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care—not just a quick check-in. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. In a client’s home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos. If pets stay with me, I create a calm, safe space where they can relax and feel comfortable. I supervise closely, keep them on their usual schedule, and make sure they get plenty of interaction and care.
“What wonderful people! I feel like Joshua and Mauren cared for my dog as they would their own. Their level of communication never left me wondering how things were going back home, while I was away. We had asked them to stay in our home, and they took such good care of it. I wouldn't hesitate to ask them to be a caregiver for my dog in the future.”

“Another great stay from Breon! Thank you for watching my babies while we were on an international trip. We received daily pictures, videos, and reassurance. We appreciate you watching the house and making sure everything was perfect for when we returned home!! Thank you so so much!! Highly recommend Breon!!”

“A wonderful job as always! Nallie kept us updated with photos and texts and we were able to enjoy our short trip knowing she was talking care of our fur baby. Thank you Nallie!”
About: Lifelong animal lover (vegetarian for 15 years!) with cat-sitting and shelter dog-walking experience. Trauma therapist by day—patient, calm, and great at reading anxious pets’ cues. Since I own my therapy practice, I have lots of flexibility for daytime, evening, overnight visits! I’d be honored to spend time with fur babies! For drop-ins, house sitting, and dog walking—I offer feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and cozy company—keeping your pet's routine calm, comforting, attuned and consistent!
“Kaylie is amazing and made sure to give lots of updates and photos. She was a fantastic sitter for my pup and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future!”

“Alicia was great! I could tell from the pictures that our pups felt comfortable and at ease with her. When we came home, the dogs and cats all were happy to see us and were calm. I could tell she took excellent care of them because they were all happy and relaxed when we got home(and three of them have anxiety). Our house was clean and everything how we left it. 100% recommend to anyone looking for high quality care! Will definitely call her again for future pet sitting needs.”
“Emily was so amazing with our two older rescues! The dogs took to her right away and we felt super comfortable leaving them with her. She kept us updated during our trip and sent us photos.. couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend.”


About: I’ve taken care of many animals in my life and also train my cat to play fetch and tag. I also have taken care of senior dogs during their final moments. Im currently a stay at home housewife and have some free time and I love animals so I definitely don’t mind how long or price for the care I’ll be giving. Also, if I am unavailable due to me, house sitting my husband could always attend and he is a Rover user. I give my cat and my friends animals when watching them all kinds of vitamins and supplements with salmon, fish, squid, and all kinds of other stuff. I give them attention so they know that they are loved and cared for. If the cat at my place is an issue he could stay in the bedroom for the time being
“James is the best!! He has taken care of my reactive, anxious, senior pup and my senior cat many times. I can comfortable travel internationally for over a week without any worries. My pets love James so much and he’s an amazing house guest. Can’t recommend him highly enough!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life so I’ve gotten very used to taking care of them and loving all kinds! I’m the person everyone in my family comes to for dog/house sitting while they’re out of town and it’s my favorite thing to do for them. I’m in between jobs right now so I have all the time to care for and play with your dogs/cats! I have a 3 year old son who’s been around dogs since the moment he was born and he’s very friendly. I have two dogs of my own at home but they get along kindly with other dogs. I have a fenced yard and a son who loves to go on long walks!
About: My dog growing up was a black lab chow mix, so I work well with energetic dogs and love to run and play with them. I love to be outside and would love to take your dog on a walk/hike with me! I joined Rover to spend time with animals, get some exercise, and help you take care of your furry companions. I am hardworking, reliable, and punctual. I’m currently working hybrid so I’m flexible with dog walking times and my ability to dog sit! My job is 9-5, but I can stop over before/after and on breaks between meetings depending on your dog’s needs! I am flexible to either let your dog out in a fenced-in-backyard or take them on a leashed walk! The length and duration of that walk can be adapted to your dogs’ energy levels!

I found a gem of a cat sitter in Allyce, who came to the rescue when I contacted her with only a few days notice, rearranging her schedule to help. She gave my two cats the best care during my trip, and me peace of mind knowing I could trust her with them my home. She is incredibly thoughtful, thorough, and sweet, and sent me updates throughout the day, assuring me they were being cared for wonderfully. I highly recommend her to any pet parent, and my cats are already looking forward to seeing her again!

Carrie was great with our Gilbert, she stayed over our place with him overnight while we were out of town! He still has puppy golden energy & can be hyper at times. She was very patient with him & updated us frequently with photos as well. I would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!

Candy was absolutely amazing with our 13 year old pup! She completely went above and beyond with her visits and care - she checked in every day, sending adorable pics & updates. We highly recommend booking with Candy and will totally reach back out in the future when we need dog sitting! Thank you so much, Candy!

Elysia was great! She responded quickly to my inquiry when I suddenly needed a dog sitter on very short notice, and I could tell right away during our meet & greet that she’d take great care of our dog. We came home to a happy dog and a well cared-for home. I would hire her again.

In the past, I have been hesitant using rover because it can be difficult to trust someone with your pet. However, I couldn't be happier we decided to reach out to Sierra to board our Bernese mountain dog, Sullivan! Sully has a lot of personality and can be anxious at times, it takes some time getting to know his quirkiness; but when we did the meet and greet with Sierra, it eased all of my worries! You can tell she genuinely loves being around, and caring for dogs. Sully got along great with her two dogs, who are so well behaved. Throughout our trip, Sierra sent the perfect amount of updates with pictures and videos- and Sully made himself right at home! It was so nice to enjoy my time away knowing Sully was in good hands, and we are so relieved to have found a reliable couple to watch Sully and to be stress free when away!

Anna was a fantastic companion for our dog Jax! She took excellent care of him and sent us updates and pictures throughout her stay at our house. She went above and beyond by stopping by to get a tour of the house and to get to know Jax the day prior to our reservation. We would highly recommend Anna to other families who are looking for a new friend that your dog can spend time with when you’re away from home! :)
