“Cara was awesome with coming over to first meet my dogs and making sure they were a good fit, especially since I have a dog with special needs. Both of my dogs loved her! She is very friendly, quick to respond and answered all of my questions. I got lots of pictures after their first check-in which I appreciate. I had happy dogs when I got home and it was very nice not having to worry about them while I wasn't home. I will definitely book with Cara again!”
“Danielle is a GEM. Left my two cats with her for my honeymoon and got detailed updates, and came home to full clean water bowls and happy brushed cats. Plus, she graciously fielded key troubles on my part. She will be our go-to!!! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Julia was absolutely fantastic and taking care of both of my dogs while I was at work. She texted me and gave me updates with the funniest pictures of my dogs. She was very responsive and communicative. I will definitely be booking in the future!”
“Robyn was amazing with Misty and took good care of her with plenty of updates and pictures. We would definitely recommend her services and will be asking for her help again in the future!”
“I highly recommend David for anyone looking for reliable and compassionate care for their cats. Even our usually shy cat warmed up to him right away. Throughout our time away, we received regular updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and our cat was happy, relaxed, and well cared for.”
“We have been using Ryan for in-home visits. Since the initial meet and greet, he got along great with my dog. Ryan took notes to remember the pet’s preferences and commands. Ryan’s Rover cards have sweet pics and a detailed summary of the visit It’s clear that Ryan loves dogs and is great with them. For example, he adjusts my dogs bedding in his crate before leaving him, which is a very nice touch. My dog loves him and I feel that my dog is in great hands with Ryan.”
“Carissa was awesome! She took good care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She even brought in our mail/took out the trash and swept up around the litter boxes! Thank you Carissa!”
“I couldn’t be happier with Leila! She was an amazing sitter for my puppy. She took excellent care of her and sent me regular adorable pictures. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. Leila is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“My partner and I recently had to leave town for a wedding. We had never used Rover before, and were curious how we would feel having someone new watch our cats while gone for the weekend. Kelly went above and beyond for us! She sent detailed updates and photos every visit, which was such a fun treat for us. It really gave us a peace of mind. Kelly made sure to keep them on their feeding schedule, and provide them with plenty of treats and playtime. 10/10!”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Kristin did a great job dropping in to visit, feed and let out our new puppy. I loved the photos she sent! We will definitely book her again.”
About: I had a pet dog Lucy since I was in 2nd grade. I would feed her, walked her, let her outside to play in the backyard, and made sure she had plenty of water. I cared for her. I'm in-between jobs right now so if you need help when you are on vacation, work late, or any other reason then let me know and I will help take care of your dog. I would care for them like they are my own. I will follow a schedule if you have one. I willing to communicate with you if you have concerns about your dog or anything else that matter.
“Gillian did a fantastic job watching my cats! She followed all instructions perfectly, kept everything very tidy, and even sent a few great pictures of the cats snuggling up to her. 10/10 will definitely book again!”
“Beautiful communication & so attentive to our pet! Was also flexible about adding in an extra day, and brought in packages off the porch. This was our first time using Rover and Allison made it a wonderful experience! Highly recommend.”
About: My petsitting career began when I was a tween, taking care of my close neighbors' pets as needed. Since then, I've expanded to various families around the community, often balancing many beloved pups at a time. In my own home, I've always known a family supplemented by a dog's love. So as a pet sitter, I live by the golden rule: treat other dogs as you'd treat your own. This means plenty of puppy-voice talking, seemingly nonstop petting, and exciting adventures around the area. I can guarantee that any pet under my care will receive the love they deserve while getting the playtime they need. I work full time, but am typically available Mondays, Fridays, and weekends. If needed, I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs! I treat all dogs and pets as if they are my own. This means giving them the love and attention they deserve whenever and however they need it!

Taylor was able to watch our kitties on short notice. She arrived promptly everyday for drop-ins and managed to work our electronic door systems without any explanation (that's kind of rare lol). I didn't have to explain much to her. She sent us pictures, played with our cats, fed them before she left, and cleaned the litter box when necessary. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry. Thank you Taylor! We're absolutely going ask Taylor to watch our babies again 🩷
Tena was an amazing caretaker for my 2 cats. She spent quality time during each drop in visit & provided thorough notes after her visits as well as many photos. She has a genuine love for the animals she cares for and i would highly recommend her to anyone seeking care for their fur baby 🤍
Thank you Carissa! She came over last minute after being ghosted from another dog sitter on Rover. She was fantastic..... and patient. I mistakenly deadbolted the front door after telling her it wouldn't be ..... And we got her in and Bryce was saved! lol. I hope she will watch him again in the future, Bryce is a very nuanced little puppy, and she did great! Thank you! Ryan
Merritt is so good with our elderly cat. They giver lots of love and give detailed reports of how she did during their visit. We’ve booked them twice now and wouldn’t hesitate to book them again, if we weren’t moving out of the state! Merritt gives our cat her meds with ease and even brings in packages when left at the door while we are out. Highly recommend booking Merritt!
Sydney did an amazing job taking care of Nico! She stopped by twice a day and treated him like he was her own pup. When I got home, Nico was totally pooped from all the fun and playtime they had together. She went above and beyond, even cleaning his paws after a rainy day and bringing in my trash bins after pickup day. I really appreciated the extra care and thoughtfulness. I’d absolutely recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter, and I hope to keep using her for Nico in the future!
Hannah did a wonderful job taking care of my cat! She followed all the instructions and I could tell Kitty warmed up to her very quickly by the photos & updates she provided. Hannah was also very understanding and flexible when my travel plans unexpectedly changed and we had to cancel some initial sessions last minute. I would highly recommend her!
Sophie did a fantastic job of taking care of our cat while we were traveling! She was super communicative, detail oriented, and shared so many precious photos that put a smile on my face. She also went above and beyond to make sure all was well until we were back, including letting us know when one of our smoke detector batteries needed to be replaced and hunting down spares in our (admittedly terribly organized) household “junk” closet. Most importantly, upon returning home we could definitely tell our cat Sherman was well cared for during our time away! I’d highly recommend her to care for your pets.
