“Rachel has been awesome! She is reliable and it has been very comforting knowing our puppy is in experienced capable hands. She also is a good communicator about pertinent updates during the drop ins. Definitely recommend!”

“Tobi was great dropping in to check on my cat over the Thanksgiving weekend so I didn't have to worry about him. She made sure he got his breakfast and attention while I was gone. I would definitely use her again.”

“Ethan did a great job with Bravo! We have never left Bravo for this long and felt really comfortable leaving Bravo with Ethan. I'm pretty sure he kept him more entertained then we do an even brought him over a new toy, which he loves! Thanks, Ethan for taking such good care of Bravo and sending pics to us of him enjoying his day! We hope he is still with Rover when we need him again!”


“Erica did a wonderful job caring for our cats! Loved the rover cards with the pictures. Great relief of mind to have someone checking in on them during our vacation.”

“She was more than happy to watch our dogs during a family emergency. The dogs adored her and her familiarity with dogs helped ease my mind during this time. I would highly recommend her services to people!”
“Juli was an amazing sitter for my little Dorian. I was so scared to leave him since it was my first time but she made me feel completely confident that he was well taken care of. She sent lots of pictures and videos of him playing and living his best kitty life. She was very flexible with picking up/dropping off the key to my place and made the trip a success. Book Juli and you know your pet will be in great hands!! I know Dorian can’t wait for more playtime with her :)”

“Win is so kind, responsible and cares about your pets. She does her job so well! This was my first time using Rover and had to find someone kind of last minute to look after our lab with 3 drop in visits per day and one morning visit the next day. Mary and I had a meet and greet and went over everything asap. She is so responsive! After care started I can’t tell you what a relief it was to see Mary’s drop in notes and pics of my doggo smiling with her. Thank you so much Mary and thank you Rover for creating such a slick platform to find pet care!”

“Theo was so amazing with my pup and made sure she got lots of attention! Very amazing and good understanding of dog’s needs and behavior, highly recommend Theo!”

“Megan is fantastic. Kind, calm, loving with my dog Forrest. Very responsive, on time, attentive. Sent updates and photos. I felt completely at ease being away from home. Highly recommend Megan.”

About: I was born into a family with a black lab and have taken care of dogs my entire life! I have experience caring for my dogs, friends’ dogs, and friends’ cats. One of my childhood dogs went blind when he was 8, so I am comfortable and caring toward pets with disabilities as well. My dogs have been my best friends, so I’ll make sure to treat your pet like they’re your bestie too! I’m working part time throughout June and have lots of availability on week days and weekends! Feel free to message me with any questions about availability! I let pets out to go to the bathroom (exception of indoor only pets), I’ll clean up the occasional accidents that happen inside. I play with the pets and give them lots of attention before I leave, paying notice to body language for safety. Please let me know if you have any safety concerns!
“Christina came to my rescue last minute in a tough situation and has become our weekly walker. I am so incredibly grateful for the consistent help, flexibility, and experience with reactive dogs. Highly recommend!!!”

“Lydia watched both my cat and dog over a holiday weekend. Great communication, sent me pictures every day. Very thankful to have someone look after them while I was away. Highly recommend!”

“Highly recommend Carrie if you need a cat sitter! Carrie did check-ins for my senior cat while we were away for 7 days during Thanksgiving week. I was a bit nervous, as I've never had to leave my cat alone for that long before. The meet-and-greet with Carrie alleviated all my worries! She was wonderful with our cat, and gave him so much love, attention, and play time while we were away. Her update reports were always detailed and lovely to read, and she sent tons of great photos with each report. Everything was clean when we returned home (cat box empty/clean, litter swept off the floor). Carrie was always on time for meet-ups, check-ins, key exchanges etc, and is the perfect person to have check-in on your pet! :) I'll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we need someone to check on our cat!”

Ruston pet parents share their Rover experiences
Elizabeth was so great and easy to work with! Her Rover cards were the most detailed I’ve ever received, and she really made sure to spend time with our kitty to give her sime playtime and snuggles. I would definitely recommend hiring her, and would love the opportunity to hire her again another time!

Holly took care my 2 cats for 5 days and she was great! It was obvious right away that she has a love for animals and she was great with my girls, going above and beyond to make sure their needs were met. She also sends pictures and an overview of her visits each time, and is responsive to my questions . I will definitely book Holy in the future!

Kyle is such a great sitter! He always sends the best action shots of our cat playing and cuddling. We had a lot of packages arriving this last trip; he was so kind as to stop by to put a large one inside the day before our booking with him officially began, just because we had already left to head out of town. Thank you so much Kyle!!

Kentaro took wonderful care of my baby while I was out of town for two weeks! He took fantastic pictures, long walks and made sure she was happy and healthy. Very reliable, cleaned up her messes and was overall fantastic. I would most definitely recommend him and book him again! Thank you so much!
