“So happy to have Marissa check in on Melo! He was so comfortable with her at the meet and greet. She makes sure he gets a walk and/or playtime outside, or just keeps him company when he just wants to chill :) Appreciate her check in texts and photos!”
“Natalie was a great sitter for my Cat. She followed my instructions to a tee and even cleaned litter off the floor although that wasn’t required. I would recommend Natalie to anyone who needs drop in sitter!”
“Arantxa is so sweet, reliable, caring, and engaging! From her updates and interactions with my dog and cat I can tell that she genuinely cares about animals and treats my pets as if they were her own. my dog just absolutely adores her and my cat never comes out for anyone- but Arantxa made the cut 🥰 She is the best. I’ll definitely be booking her in the future! Thank you for all that you do for my fur babies Aranxta 🩷”
“Bethany was amazing! She provided frequent updates and was so sweet. I was at ease leaving my sweet fur baby with her. Will definitely be using again!”
“Ian watched our 2 cats for 5 days and did a fantastic job! His attention to detail made me feel very comfortable, which can be hard for me while I’m away from my babies. He ensured the boys got tons of playtime and left detailed notes every visit that made me smile! He even left the apartment, feeding areas, and litter room spotless and took the trash out. Ian is by far the best sitter I have found on this app and I look forward to working with him again in the future. I would recommend him to anyone that I know!”
“I had a great experience with Michelle! Having never used Rover before I wasn’t totally sure what to expect, but I feel lucky to have had her for my introduction to the app. Michelle was on time, easy to contact, and took a ton of cute photos of my kitty, which were so fun to receive while I was out of town. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone! 😊”

She gave all her love and attention to my cat while I was gone and I could not recommend her more!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school. My friends have trusted me to feed, walk, and play with their pets whenever they’ve been out of town. I’m currently unemployed right now. I’m pretty much fully available to handle pet care at anytime and any day. There are a few nights here and there that I may need off though. I don’t plan to have pets over at my own house for now. I’ve house and pet sat in the past so I’m fully capable of handling both tasks.
“She took great care of my cats. Katherine totally saved the day when some curveballs came up during the visits. Would be happy to have her back!”
“Valerie has been so wonderful with our dog! She is a rescue who can be timid around new people. Valerie has been accommodating and patient and now they are become fast friends! She has also been flexible and responsive to requests and schedule changes. This is our first Rover experience and we would recommend Valerie to any pet parent!”
“I'm so glad I chose Olha to watch my cats! She listened to everything I had to say, and I could tell that she had taken care of cats for a long time. I felt at peace knowing that my cats were in good hands. She even did more than I asked her to, and I'm super thankful for that.”
“I had a great experience! Maria was very flexible with my two cats needs and sent many photos and videos while I was gone, which I really appreciated.”
“Samantha was awesome with our critters and accepted our booking last minute after another sitter fell through. She was very knowledgeable on rabbit and cat care. She asked lots of questions about my pets during our meet and greet to better understand their behavior's and care. My cat was also all over her the entire visit rubbing on her. She took some amazing glamor shots of my pets while we were away. Three pets is a lot of work for a 30 minute visit and she did a great job. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Erica was absolutely amazing with our fur babies! We had last minute plans and she worked with us, making our time away stress free. She exceeded our expectations by offering to feed our bearded dragon as well. I highly recommend Erica for pet care services and will definitely book her again!”
“Highly recommend Katrina!! She has been extremely helpful and caring with my puppy and has gone above and beyond what I expected! Very communicative, trustworthy, and overall couldn't have asked for a better experience.”
“Super grateful for Blanca! She was very communicative throughout her visits and even helped with some unexpected issues while we were away. Our Penny has special needs so it can be difficult to bring her along when we need to leave town, and we felt that she was well taken care of!”
“Yenah is an amazing cat sitter and SO easy to work with! I’ve booked Yenah to visit my cat multiple times and she is always incredibly helpful and has great communication skills 😊”
About: Hello recently my older dog has passed And I am starting to do Rover again with boarding within my home. I do have a preference for small or medium sized dogs just because of the space of the studio apartment I live in but I am comfortable with a larger dog along as it's only one dog at a time if they're on the larger side I can do multiple smaller dogs. I am conformable with large and small dogs and will treat your pets like my own. Whether your pet likes to lounge in the house or run around outside, I can adapt to their needs. And whatever your rules are, you can be sure i'll follow them. i'd love to watch your doggos for however long you need. My main goal is to big a kind & compassionate dog sitter to give you and your pet the best experience I work part-time mainly Thursday through Friday 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays I'm at work 4:00 to 10:30 and I have an open availability Monday Tuesday Wednesday I live in a studio apartment but that does include a fence dog area for them to run if you would prefer that. Or I can keep them on leash and just have long walks through the grassy areas
