“Marianne has been absolutely the best pet sitter we could’ve ever asked for. She is loving, attentive and communicative. She’s quick to make the animal comfortable. she watched my cat sushi over the weekend faithfully for months. We kept going back to Marianne because she was truly the best person for the job. when my cat started to get sick, she noticed immediately and notified us so we were able to get her into the vet and cared for quickly. We know Sushi loved her and we would definitely work with her again!! Thank you, Marianne!!”


“Kimmeth was wonderful and so patient with our babies. She put so much effort into making our shy little one feel comfortable and safe. She kept us posted and wrote detailed descriptions on her daily visits. I appreciate her so much, and I highly recommend her, even for the most challenging cats.”

“Aileen was great! She did a great job looking after my two cats on short notice. Good communication, friendly and easy to work with!”


“Great experience! It was our first time requesting their service for our elderly dog and cat as our normal pet sitter was unavailable. It was very apparent how much they cared about the pets and would put in extra effort to make them feel safe and comfortable. Our dog was having a rough couple days and Vadim was so patient and caring during every visit. Thank you so much for doing such a great job and making us feel like our pets were in good hands while we were away!”

“Amazing pet sitter! I trusted her implicitly, she has a very kind, warm presence. I received picture and comments every day and had no doubts that my cat was well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend and will 100% have back!”


“Alyssa did a great job caring for our cats. While they aren’t particularly difficult cats to care for, she did all that was needed & the cats quickly warmed up to her.”


About: I’ve had my dog for almost 7 years and now have two dogs. I grew up with dogs and they are my passion. Im a nurse getting my masters and have some time to take care of other fur babies. I am committed to taking care of all types of dogs of all ages. I currently have some weeks off of clinical rotations so I am home most of the time. Afterwards I will be gone about 2x a week. I live in an apartment, but I take my dogs out on regular walks every few hours. I do not crate train my dogs and they are allowed to go on furniture.

“Caring, responsible, punctual. Thank you Jennifer for the care you gave to my furry babies. Take care.”


About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and truly treat every pet like my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their dogs and cats—even the shy or high-energy ones! I’m patient, reliable, and I always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. Whether it’s giving belly rubs, administering food on schedule, or sending you cute photo updates, I go the extra mile to make both pets and owners feel at ease. I currently work full-time on weekdays, but I have both weekend days completely free. I’m available all day Saturday and Sunday for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I always create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment—whether in my home or yours. I follow all care instructions, keep pets secure, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free. I respect routines, provide regular potty breaks, and give constant supervision during playtime and feeding. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities.

“Thank you for the great feedback!:)”


“Jessica took great care of Roxy while we were away. She was loving and caring. Jessica sent photos everyday and spent time doing Roxys 2 favorite things. Treats and brushes. I will be booking Jessica next time we go out of town!”


“Jessica accepted a last minute request to check in on my cat daily over the holiday weekend. Leaving your pet is incredibly stressful, but I definitely felt at ease knowing she was there to check in on him. She was great at communicating. Thanks again for coming through on such short notice!”


About: Hey there, we are Rod & Ros! We both had pets our whole lives, both of our grandparents are veterinarians, so we grew in a household full of love and knowledge about pets. My girlfriend has been a pet sitter since she was in middle school she took care of senior dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, turtles, fishes and parrots. I myself have also been a doggy sitter several times for friends and family. We both just love petsitting and that is why we decided to join Rover. My girlfriend works part time from home and I work at night so we both have plenty of time during the day to play and enjoy time with your pet. We have two Australian parakeets, when there are no other pets around, we love to free them inside the apartment so that they can stretch their wings. When we have pet guests we keep them in their cage and if the guest is not comfortable with them we keep them in a separate room. We work regular office hours Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, so during weekdays we only offer walk service or drop-inn visits after 5:30pm. On weekends we have full availability for both walks and drop-in visits. We love to make your dog or cat feel special and loved on the short time of our visit or walk, we would try to connect with your pet and give him/her all the love we can, for this reason we only walk one dog at the time and we do only 1 drop in visit during weekdays. Your special furry friend deserves respect and value time, during our walk or visit, we will always pay attention to what they make, making sure they stay hydrated not overexposed to high temperatures , we will be patient and do as many stops as they need to make.

About: Dogs are my passion! To me this isn’t a job but a hobby and a way for owners to feel at ease when having to leave their dog. I grew up with dogs and my family dogs do not live with me in my apartment so I’m always looking for dog company! From long walks to playing fetch, I will keep your dog entertained and cared for. I am trustworthy and reliable and would love to care for your dog. I typically work from home 2-3 days a week and can be flexible on which days to accommodate scheduling requests. Always available on fridays and weekends for the most part. I’m in an apartment building on the 6th floor. We have a dog park on site but I would also just walk the dog around the area. I’m very cautious with elevators and wouldn’t ride one if another dog is in it at the same time. I also like to provide pics and updates to the owner throughout the day so they feel at ease.

Sailboat Bend pet parents share their Rover experiences
He is the best cat sitter! He is quick to fix the booking if I make a mistake or an error. He is super detailed, kind and consistent.

Krystal is the best! She always gets the cutest photos of my cat Zuko to send to me. Leaving my cat to go on trips can be hard but I’m comforted knowing Krystal is checking up on him!

Agustina was fantastic and adapted to the needs of my cat the entire time I was away. I am so glad I was able to rely on her.

We had an extended leave and Kim came to see our simon every day we were gone. we could tell by the end he was ready for us to be home but we know he was so very thankful for kim coming to hang out and love and play with him! Kim always goes above and beyond while at our home and has great communication. she always sends the best photos too!! we are so thankful we found kim!!

Lilo loves his drop in visits with Alyssa! She always plays with him and leaves the place great. He can be a little shy so she does great with him.

As usual, Erica took exceptional care of my kitty! She was well fed, watered, played with and given pets and love on her own terms.

I always have a great experience with Esfefania. She's communicative, responsive, and great with my cat.

Lucy was great! Really great communication and was fantastic with our cat, who is on the more challenging side and not so social. But Lucy was so sweet with her, spending time and coaxing her with treats until she got a little more comfortable and used to her! I would definitely book her again next time we need someone to watch her!

Caring, responsible, punctual. Thank you Jennifer for the care you gave to my furry babies. Take care.

Hooray! Successful visit with my girl. She’s a little skittish around new people so I was so relieved Kevin was available for a visit/walk while I was tied up with appointments all day. I made it back and all was well and my favorite creature was happy. Great communicator and even sent pics that helped me feel at ease during a pretty stressful day.

This is the second time that I’ve used Camilla from Rover to watch my babies and once again, she did a fabulous job. She was even willing to help out when my flight got canceled until the next day. My pets were well taken care of, I received a report card with pictures after every visit and I came home to happy pets. Thank you until next time….

Carlos was great. Had a meet and greet prior to visit and communicated throughout the process. Will use his services again.

Regan was incredible! Super communicative, my cat absolutely loved her. I will be reaching out to Regan the next time I go out of town. Cannot recommend enough

Tarah was great. Very good communication. She did everything. She said she was going to do…..kept her schedule. I had not a care in the world. It was a pleasure. I would definitely use her again.

Jessica took great care of Roxy while we were away. She was loving and caring. Jessica sent photos everyday and spent time doing Roxys 2 favorite things. Treats and brushes. I will be booking Jessica next time we go out of town!

I can't recommend enough! They were absolutely amazing—super communicative, responsive, and always available when I needed an update or had a question. They took such great care of my French bulldog, going above and beyond to make sure both of us felt totally at ease while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my girl was in such capable and caring hands. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you both!!!🙏🏻

Katie was so wonderful with my cat Prissy 😌my cat is a bit skittish but she let Katie pet her so Prissy must have known she was an animal lover 😌overall she was really great and it was a great experience and I plan on hiring her again!

Laura is AMAZING!!! You can tell how much she truly loves animals. We needed to use her services for the holiday weekend, which then turned into more time away due to a family emergency. She was so accommodating and we were able to add additional days. I felt at ease being away knowing that Laura was taking such great care of our girl.

Aubri is always great! This is either her 3rd or 4th sit, and Sabina always is on her cutest behavior with her (as evidenced by the pics she sends!) so I know that Sabina likes her. Aubri sends detailed updates each visit and is always kind and professional. I will continue to book with her any chance I get.
