“Alyssa did a great job dropping in on our 4 cats while we were away for 2 weeks. We felt comfortable that they were being well tended to. We appreciated the daily updates and photos!”

“Sadie is an absolute lifesaver. She is always professional and kind. It is such a relief to know that our dog is always in wonderful care. Thank you Sadie!!”

“Tina is amazing. She did everything asked and when I realized I needed her to spend more time there she had no issue accommodating. She was great at communicating to keep me updated and sent plenty of photos. Will be using her again.”

“I am so thankful for Beth! She was quick to respond and took great care of my dogs in a last minute booking. She sent pictures and gave a great update for how the visit went. I will definitely be using her in the future when I need a drop in visit!”

“Diana and Danette were wonderful! I was hesitant to use Rover after a previous experience, but they put my mind at ease. Diana was quick to respond to my requests and when I needed a last minute change, she was able to accommodate it. My dog loved both Diana and Danette, and I will definitely use their services in the future! Highly recommended!”

“Siyani is definitely the first person we always reach out to when we need to go out of town - we always know our bulldog Bella will be thrilled to see her. She is very responsive and respectful, and also let us know about an unrelated issue in our yard in advance so we weren't surprised when we arrived home. I highly recommend her services!”

“Sadie was wonderful. She agreed to watch my cats within a week of the booking, made time to come meet them prior, and took great care of them during. She communicated with me throughout and sent a lot of pictures. A very reliable pet sitter!”

About: I've taken care of pets and animals since I was 10. I've had experience with birds, fish, turtles and tortoises, dogs, cats, geckos, small rodents(guinea pigs, bunnies, mice, rats, ferrets, etc.) I have no issues with needing to give the animal medicine or extra care in any way. I'll be able to visit in the mornings, afternoon, and night Wednesday-Saturday. I can stop by anytime 4a-midnight. I can drop in 1-5 times a day. I have no issues with crating or using a muzzel when needed. I love being around animals and enjoy spending time with them. I can't take them on walks but I can play with them in a yard or house.
About: I have 4.5 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant, where I cared for animals with a wide range of personalities, ages, and medical needs. Growing up, I've always had multiple animals and have helped raise and care for them throughout every stage of life, from puppies to seniors. I'm comfortable handling energetic pets and administering medications when needed. Above all, I strive to provide safe, attentive, and loving care so pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available throughout the week as well as weekends for walks and drop-ins. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable and safe by following their usual routines and giving them the attention, exercise, and care they are accustomed to receiving. During drop-in visits and walks I always prioritize secure leash handling, home security, and clear communication with owners.
“Molly is very kind, quick to respond, and during her drop in with Onion provided plenty of updates on him, his food, water, and litter. Pretty much everything we asked for and more!”

“This is the second time Amy has watched my fur babies. I am so happy we found her on this app. She is wonderful with them and I love that she sends me pictures of them. I will definitely be asking Amy to sit for my crew again soon.”

About: ***Prices are negotiable!*** I have had a total of four dogs in the family (currently two golden retrievers!). I am experienced with dog care and have visited family, friends, and my neighbor’s houses to relieve their pups or take them on a walk. I have house sat at my aunt’s house for her dog as well. I have a love for all animals- I used to own a bunny and I also have three cats. I would love to meet yours! I promise to take care of your pet as if it were my own. I recently left my manager job at Hersheypark and I’m taking a break from working full time, so Rover is going to be my main focus! My goal is to plan my schedule around my clients. So if you need last minute service like house sitting for a long period of time or a simple dog walk, and I’m near your area, I will probably be available whenever for you! Please reach out and I will be happy to discuss what my availability looks like for the week. Like previously stated I have experience visiting other’s homes to take care of pets. My most recent visit was a last minute favor for my friend that dog sits who had a client job she couldn’t make it to. I like to take notes when given instructions on pet care and I put 110% in making sure someone’s pet is safe and well cared for. The dog I took for a walk recently has had past issues with other dogs and humans so I practiced extra caution and followed all given instructions of using a muzzle and steering clear of anyone on the sidewalks. I do not mind taking care of multiple pets including cats (or other small critters) as I have five total pets in my home. Others would describe me as reliable and friendly. I am very flexible and open to any service requests for your pets! I am a huge animal lover and I want to gain more experience with nearby people who are seeking excellent pet care.
About: Hi! I have 5 dogs and 4 parakeets myself, I love to craft or just binge watch movies. I’m currently in college, I’ve always loved animals and I lost my job in March, I’m just trying to find better things for myself. Reach out anytime ☺️ I have open availability so pretty much let me know what you’re looking for, if you want me to just stay at yours or even if you just want me to pop in and out from time to time! I have a fenced yard so I’m always watching my dogs, I sit outside with them and just watch them play. I also take them on walks when my parents are able to help since we have alot
“Brandy is amazing! I highly recommend her help. She was so friendly, prompt and responsive and clearly cares about and is a natural with animals. I could tell my cats were in very good hands. Thanks again, Brandy!”

“Savonah is the best!! She spent so much time with our kitties that they were unimpressed to see us when we got home! She communicated well and we are completely satisfied- will definitely be contacting her again for pet sitting!”

Rutherford cat parents share their Rover experiences
Olivia was great! She did a good job trying to accommodate my fussy and finicky cat to make sure she was fed while I was away! I know my cat is a handful so I was happy to see she was being well taken care of and Olivia was great at sending me updates and pictures which I appreciated. :)

Very positive experience. She played with our cat, fed her, and cleaned her litter box as requested. She also watered our plant which was quite nice. Our cat was cared for for the entire week and seemed happy and content. I’d certainly recommend Taylor, she said she has cats of her own and that is evident with the way she took care of Binx. Good catsitter!
