“Christina has established a good relationship with Rockne during their three times together. Rockne seems to really enjoy interacting with her.”
“Haley was wonderful! She was attentive to our pups. She kept in great communication with us, giving us updates on anything that was going on with them during her drop-in visits. I will 100% recommend her to anyone, & will be using her again in the future! ?”
“We had just recently found out our dog Henry was diabetic and needed insulin shots twice a day. This was just shortly after losing our other dog, Haley to liver cancer so we were very nervous pet parents and had never needed a pet sitter before. Finding Emily to help with Henry while I needed to be out of town for a week was the best thing that could have happened. She responded to the request right away and Henry loved her! I was very confident he would be in good hands while I was gone and was 100% right. Her check in updates and photos were wonderful. Loved the notes about the visits and seeing Henry looking so happy in the included photos. She was able to add extra visits at the last minute when i couldn't make it home on time. I am so grateful we found her and will definitely reach out again whenever we need help with Henry. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help with their pets. She is awesome!”
“Alyssa was super kind, professional, and understanding. She took great car of James, even playing with him and texting me photos. She also cleaned out both litter boxes while I was gone. I will definitely ask for her help again, and I highly recommend her.”
About: I am a lifetime pet lover. I have taken care of animals for over 25 years including senior dogs. I have a very pet friendly home where your dog will be treated like one of the family. I currently work from home which allows me to give your pet many potty breaks and walks around our neighborhood. I also have a fenced in yard so that they can get some fresh air throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies to keep your dog company. I like to take a lot of walks around the neighborhood and cuddle on the couch with my doggos.
“Isabelle took care of my two 14 y/o dogs for 7 days while I was away. She visited 3 times each day to feed/water/walk. I’m very particular about who I allow to watch my dogs due to their age but I was able to travel worry free thanks to Isabelle. Highly recommended.”
About: I have a gentle approach when it comes to pet care, Im extremely sensitive to their needs and prioritize their happiness. They won’t feel like they’re around someone new at all!! I have a full time job but pet care is my part time job and a personal joy. Incorporating pet care into my routine stabilizes and rejuvenates my schedule!! Since I offer housesitting, I can assure you that cleanliness is one of my utmost priorities and I can leave the home better than I found it! I’ve housesat many times in the past, so combining pet care with that is an easy addition.
“I have never used Rover before and so this was a large leap of faith for me to let someone watch my pets for 5 days. Janelle proved to be diligent in sending me updates everyday, and went above and beyond to provide for my fur babies. One of my kitties ate all the food left in her automatic feeder (knocked it over ugh) and they were not going to have enough food to last until we came back, so she went to the store and picked up more food for them!! I would recommend Janelle every time and will be using her again in the future for services 💕🥰 Thanks again!!”
“Lily took great care of my kitten this week! I booked on short notice after she spent the weekend at the emergency vet. Would 100% recommend and I've already rebooked for the future :)”
“Ivanis was fantastic! She cared for our dogs, administered medication, and spent quality time with them during her hour visit. Highly recommend Ivanis for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
About: I grew up with animals- my dad raised and bred dogs professionally, and my brother and I helped by taking care of puppies. We also had our house dog and I had cats. Since then, I have raised many dogs, cats, and bunnies. Currently my husband and I live by ourselves and travel a lot so we do not have our own pets, but I miss having animals around and would enjoy helping take care of others’ pets. We have a calm, clean, and happy home. We love animals so much, we are both vegan as well. Your pet will be in the best care! I work from home primarily, sometimes teaching yoga classes in the public space. I also do massage nearby occasionally. My husband is home most of the time as well. We care for pets just as we would our own. We walk regularly and live near a large park and river walk. We are very well organized, and have also taken care of our many children throughout our lives!
About: I have experience with dogs, cats and other pets. I provide attentive, loving care, ensuring your pet feels safe and happy. I love my pets, and I know I’ll love yours too. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine, thanks to my flexible schedule. I can easily adjust my day to accommodate walks, feeding, and playtime, ensuring your pet receives consistent and attentive care whenever they need it. I have hired through Rover in the past when I needed pet care and I understand how important it is to have your pets and home respected. I will care for your pets and your home just as I would want mine to be cared for.
“We had a really good experience with Kylie taking care of both the cats. Both cats gelled with her, she made sure to share many pictures from every visit. Had a peace of mind, knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely approach her again if we get a chance.”
“Chloe took excellent care of our cat. She’s very cat savvy, and I’d recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter for their nervous kitty.”
About: I’ve taken care of adopted dogs and cats since I was 8 years old, I’m very responsible and cautious with medicine administration if they are receiving some kind of treatment. I’m currently unemployed since i just moved here to the United States, i’m alone from 5AM to 5PM with no responsibilities and i thought pet sitting could be an amazing way to do something productive until i’m able to get a job :) I would be 100% about the pet, i can go for long walks with them to keep them entertained, there is a fenced pet playground in the residence where i live so they can freely and safely run and play outside.

“Jamie is absolutely fantastic. She cared for both dogs by our directions for a month of daily visits. Very professional and excellent communication. Definitely recommend and we will rebook!”
“Val was amazing! She did drop in visits for my dogs for about five days. On each visit she took pictures and updated me on the status of my dogs. I could see on their faces that they were having fun with Val. She even bought them some toys to play with. She was very attentive and responsible.”
“Candice takes great care of my doggos and home when I've needed a sitter, shes now the first name I search for my future Rover inquiries! Her communication, demeanor and love for animals make her an easy pick for me when I have long-term stays away from home!”
“Hanling has been an amazing pet sitter for my cat, Peaches. Throughout my time away, she provided exceptional care and attention to Peaches' needs. Hanling was diligent with feeding, administering medication, and cleaning the litter box. She even noticed and addressed potential health concerns, going above and beyond to ensure Peaches' well-being. Her communication was excellent, keeping me updated with detailed messages and pictures. I felt at ease knowing Peaches was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Hanling for her professionalism, kindness, and genuine love for animals. Thank you, Hanling, for your outstanding care and support during this tough time!”

“Sydney has watched my two cats with special diets several times. She is not only hardworking and passionate about pets, but she also has the biggest heart. Sydney loves all animals, and is one of the friendliest, most thoughtful humans you will find out there. She is trustworthy, punctual, and so communicative!! I’d trust her with my pets (and anything else ever, probably lol) any time. Don’t wait - hire this incredible lady!!”
