“I have just had by far my best experience with Rover. I had a last minute trip and Marianne went above and beyond in caring for my kitties. She is amazing. I had absolutely nothing to worry about while I was gone. She didnt cut any corners and gave very thorough updates throughout the time I was gone. When I came home the kitties were stress free too, I could really tell she spent time putting them at ease. I'd give her 10 stars if I could.”


“Kimmeth really understands cats!!! She is absolutely amazing and caring and the drop-in card are absolut joy! We have total trust when she takes care of your babies!”


“Estefania has taken care of our cats twice now and we are so thankful to her for her loving care and attention. She is always responsive and gives us great peace of mind while we are away. Thank you so much”


“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!”


“Heather is absolutely attentive, professional and reliable. She has a way with my dog. It must be because she has so much dog experience, is so caring, and has a background in healthcare. I know I can rely on her. She sends the best videos and pictures. I hope we continue to work together for a long time!”


“Alyssa has been amazing with our one year old German Shepherd. He’s very sensitive and needs some patience, TLC, and understanding. Alyssa has a calming energy matched with leadership and good animal intuition that our GSD has responded remarkably quickly to. Alyssa came over for a meet n greet - took the time to learn his quirks, training, and personality then came over again for a one on one walk. Our GSD runs away, barks, and hides when new people try to clip his leash but she sent a pic twenty minutes later on a walk with him. We were not only impressed with her care, demeanor, and skill but also extremely grateful/relieved to have found a sitter like Alyssa. Highly recommend her for all dog sitting needs and breeds!”


“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!”


“Dawn is a wonderful cat sitter! Dawn is very responsive, dependable, and took the time needed to learn how to best interact with my cat, Daisy! Her great cat reports and pictures helped make my vacation worry-free! Great experience!”


“Robin did a fantastic job! She kept our cats happy and well cared for while we were away. She's reliable, responsive, and stays connected with lots of updates, which gave us real peace of mind. On top of that, she went above and beyond by helping with a leaking A/C issue—something we truly appreciated. Highly recommend Robin for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”


“This is by far been hands-down the best Rover experience and it is because of her incredible care and camaraderie with my dog. She was so happy to become best friends with him and he loves her.”


About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and love giving them the attention, playtime, and care they need. I’m great with puppies, follow care instructions closely, and always treat pets like family. I’m currently in between jobs and have a very open, flexible schedule. I’m looking for something meaningful to fill my time and what better way than spending it with dogs! I don’t have one of my own right now, so I’d love the chance to care for yours and give them all the love and attention they deserve. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I make sure pets are always in a safe, clean, and calm environment. I follow all care instructions closely, keep a close eye on them during walks or playtime, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their well-being.

About: Hi, I’m Kennedy! I’ve cared for pets in all kinds of homes, from cozy cabins in Montana to sunny apartments here in Florida. Over the years, I’ve fostered dogs of all ages and personalities, from bouncy puppies to gentle seniors, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping their routines consistent. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just hanging out together, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also experienced with house sitting, so you can trust that your home will be looked after just as carefully as your pets. If you’re looking for a reliable sitter who will treat your pets like family, I’d love to connect! Pet care is part of my everyday life, I’ve fostered for years, so caring for animals is second nature to me. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to give pets regular walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s morning cuddles, midday walks, or evening wind-downs, I make sure each pet feels loved and cared for. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable by following their usual routines and giving them plenty of love and attention. In your home, I respect your space and keep doors and gates secure. In my home, I provide a cozy spot, fresh water, and a safe environment free from hazards. You’ll always get updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands.

“Sabina loved Nicole from the meet and greet! I got lots of pictures from the drop-ins and Nicole was super communicative. I also really appreciated her making sure everything was clean before I got home!”


About: Basic rules for training puppies to socialize and interact with other dogs, and caring for and protecting older dogs when feeding, care and walking them. Because I have a flexible work schedule, I can care for your pet from Monday to Sunday, starting at 8 a.m. at the times that are most convenient for you, until 7 p.m. For the service I offer, I make sure that your pet has the necessary safety measures so that my work can be carried out with confidence, avoiding stress in the pet and that it has a fun and safe walk.

“Claudia was able to step in and help us out when our pet sitter just left our dog in our apartment when we were abroad. She was able to come in on the moments notice to make sure our pup was okay and provided us with lots of photos and updates to make sure we knew she was okay. Claudia is very comfortable with dogs and made us feel at ease knowing that our baby was taken cared of.”


“Facundo is super easy to work with. He kept me updated on the entire process and was very quick in reply. He also took great care of my dog, I would definitely recommend Facundo!”


About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I raised two dogs from puppyhood. Lucy lived to 18, and my current pup, Porscha, is now 14. I also have a 15 year old cat, AppleJack, I’ve had since she was a kitten. So I know what it’s like to care for pets at every stage of life, from playful zoomies to slower senior strolls. I started pet sitting because I wasn’t looking to commit to another full time pet, but I still wanted to spend my days caring for animals and helping fellow pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m especially great with: Puppies and senior pets Shy or anxious animals Keeping routines and providing lots of updates (with cute pics!) At Playful Paws, your pet will feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I work fully remote, and so does my husband, which gives us the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some evening cuddles, we’re usually home and available to help. Being remote means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can easily adjust to their routine. Weekdays, weekends, we’re here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.

“Paige is a sweetheart, and very communicative. I felt comfortable having her in my home, and taking care of my dogs. I highly recommend her, and will be using her in the future. She takes the best photos!”

Kennedy O.
“I have know Kennedy since she was born. She had grown up to be a very smart and responsible woman. She loves animals and had several growing up. She knows how to be kind and loving to all of them. She has house sat for me, and took care of my three dogs and cat as if they were her own. She walked them and cleaned up after them. When I got home, all the animals were happy and healthy. Something, I can't say about a kennel. I highly recommend Kennedy to animal sit for you.”

Sailboat Bend pet parents share their Rover experiences
Karen was always punctual and kept in communication with me answering my questions. She did everything she could to ensure Nina my cat was well taken care of. She is professional and friendly, and I will be calling on her again the next time I go out of town. Everything was perfect and I can't thank her enough!

Vadim is incredible you really can’t get much better than this. While he does so many things great what I appreciate the most is how responsive he is. Any time I needed something he was quick to answer. I was away for 2 weeks and he checked in on my Dog routinely. He also took care of medical issues with my Dog flawlessly. Thank you Vadim you are the best.

Lucy went ABOVE and BEYOND by miles to take care of my new kitten. She is kind, gentle, and truly connects with animals on a different level. My shy kitten loved spending every moment with Lucy, and she went out of her way to coordinate meeting him, getting logistics out of the way ahead of time, and spending every second she could trying to take the best care of my little guy. I would only use her going forward and recommend her to anyone who wants a caring soul to take care of their furry loved one. She was responsive, had meticulous detail, and I trust her implicitly just after one weekend. She even went to far as to have a little photo shoot with my kitten and left me a sweet handwritten note with Polaroids of him to come home to. Thank you Lucy, I am so grateful!

Robin did a fantastic job! She kept our cats happy and well cared for while we were away. She's reliable, responsive, and stays connected with lots of updates, which gave us real peace of mind. On top of that, she went above and beyond by helping with a leaking A/C issue—something we truly appreciated. Highly recommend Robin for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

I know I can rely on her. She sends the best videos and pictures. I hope we continue to work together for a long time!

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….
