“Jennifer gave our dog Zoey the care and attention she needs while we were out of town. She was communicative and always got the best pics on her check ins.”
“Jenna and Caroline are truly amazing with your fur babies!!! As someone who has two high energy pit mixes, it can be a bit nerve racking trying to find someone who not only has experience with the breed, but truly understands them. During our meet and greet it was immediately obvious that these two knew what they were doing and how to handle Stark and Sansa. Both of my pups were well taken care of and I am beyond thankful for the level of care they received. Will definitely be booking again!”
“I’ve been using rover for a few years now and Johnny is the absolute best I’ve ever worked with. So kind, responsive, and just overall great with my pups. Wish I could give 10 stars.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, and love being around them! Long walks are never a problem with me and I’ll make sure your furry family member is happy, exercised, and well taken care of. I always have time during the mornings as I don’t leave for work until around 1:45pm. I’m typically done around 7pm-8:30pm so I’ve got time in the evenings to check up on them and get a nice long walk in before bed. I’m all about adapting to your pet’s routine. If there’s a certain structure to their day that they’re used to, I do my best to stick to and and replicate it so they’re comfortable and happy.
“This was my first time leaving my cat with someone new, and I was really stressed. But she took great care of him, kept me updated with pictures, and made my last-minute trip so much easier. Thank you!!”
“Molly is great! She’s reliable and communicative and takes such good care of my cat!”
“As always, Emma was fantastic with my girls. She went above and beyond when Snap and Pompom broke something (100% my fault) and made sure it was well cleaned so they wouldn't get glass in their paws.”
“Rachel, you are awesome! Thanks for making our whirlwind few days enjoyable, knowing our two furry friends had amazing care! Thank you for rolling with a couple of scheduling changes and going the extra mile!”
“Olivia was super friendly and accommodating. My pets loved her and she sent several pictures daily to keep me updated. Followed all instructions perfectly and it allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing my pets were well taken care of.”
“Chloe was friendly and took great care of my kitty! I got multiple cute pictures of him getting treats and played with as requested. I would definitely book her again!”

“You can tell Summer really cares about animals and she had so much patience with my senior dog! She did a great job with updates and checking in with any questions!”
“Jenna was amazing! I have two very different, but very sensitive cats and was hoping they would not be too upset with a new person in "their" house. Well the pictures she sent proved otherwise and I was so delighted to receive lots of daily pictures on my happy cats! She even gave them a Thanksgiving treat.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole including three of my own, all rescues, so I have a special place in my heart (and skill set) for dogs who need extra patience and understanding. I treat all dogs like they are my own and am always happy to keep owners updated with texts, photos, and check-ins! Im a student and the University of Tampa, but since its summer, my schedule is open and flexible. Even during the school year, I make time for pet care because I love being around animals. I always make sure that the animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable with me—whether we are spending time in a familiar space or they are staying with me. I care for other people’s pets as I care for my own.
“I have never used Rover before and Holly was the best! She gave me a detailed list of what all he did and what he was doing and even sent me pictures of Maui the whole time. The best service I have ever experienced with my dog and a sitter. I will for sure be reaching out to Holly again for service.”
“Bekah was amazing watching my two cats while I was away for a week. She spent so much time with them and sent lots of great updates and made me feel so comfortable knowing they were being taken great care of while I was away. Thank you!!!”
About: With 10 years of experience caring for dogs and 5 years of experience with cats, I’ve honed my skills in providing compassionate and reliable pet care. I work a full-time job with the flexibility to work from home when I want. But during the weekends, I am free all day typically. I will follow any instructions provided from you. I’ve had the experience before when a sitter does not communicate with the owner, so I will make sure I communicate with you.
About: Honestly I am your typical person that has an insane amount of love for animals! I decided to join Rover to meet more animals and help people out because I know when I need help and I am able to have someone I trust it helps get rid of my stress! I grew up with a few different breeds varying in size therefore I am confident with different size dogs! I currently have a golden retriever puppy that has more muscle than it would ever look. I am very comfortable and confident in a big muscle dog that may pull a lot. I have gone through a lot of training for my puppy therefore if you have specifics you are trying to enforce each walk feel free to let me know so i can continue to implement for you! I also have experience administering medication! Hi everyone! I currently work full time as a data analyst. I heard about Rover from co-workers which lead me to want to join. I work hybrid allowing me to do dog walking. Plus I am always home on weekends and would love to help anyone that may want to go away for a weekend or be out all day :) I have a cat myself and she’s my world so i am good with cats and dogs. I have grown up with dogs my whole life, I am aware of how to walk dogs as well how to get scared anxious dogs into crates. I have gone through a lot of training with my puppy and understand how positive reinforcement is key! I wipe my dogs paws and lady area every time we step outside therefore I can do and would love to do the same for you if that’s what you want!
About: I'm on my second beagle add I've been fostering dogs for SEBR for three years. I love all animals and will take great care of your fur baby as if they were my own. I can care for you pet in my home or stop by yours for feeding, walking, and play time. I am available most anytime during the day. I had a fenced in backyard with a doggie door, and my 5-year old beagle, Radar loves playing with other dogs. For pop-in visits, I can provide playtime, walks, feeding, and medication.

20. Dawnn N.
“Dawn N. has been a foster for our rescue organization for several years and she is wonderful on so many levels. She's great with the dogs and loves them for who they are. She has handled some who had some baggage being rescue dogs, but she managed them calmly and lovingly and kept her sense of humor. She has been VERY dependable and cares very much about the rescue mission. Her little beagle, Radar is very important to her and she takes really good care of him - and not just his medical needs. Dawn provides a really good home for Radar and her doggy visitors and she has a great yard which provides interest for them - not just a blank place of grass but a lovely space to explore and get both sun and shade. If I didn't have so many, I would board my dogs with Dawn for sure!!”
