“Last minute booking. Magdalana accepted and exceeded the job. So grateful for her understanding, knowledge, and experience with my fur babies!”

“Bayley did a great job with all 3 of our dogs! She came over in the morning for breakfast; as we needed help because our reg dog-sitter's schedule changed. She jumped right in and was very flexible! Def will use Bayley again!!”

“It was wonderful to have Katelyn take care of our pups on the most anxiety provoking day of the year for dogs, 4th of July. Katelyn put us our worries at ease with her communication and photos. She clearly loves animals and has a gift for making them feel safe and loved.”
“Erin did a great job, even picking up last minute with our 4 fur babies during Derby 🐎 week. Both dogs and cats were well taken care of, she even brought packages in for us. We received multiple daily photos along with the written updates and felt every thing was under control. Highly recommend, and hope to be able to use Erin again when the need arises.”

“Taylor was a wonderful pet sitter. She was responsible and communicated enthusiastically. She took excellent care of our elderly dog and was genuinely concerned about his wellbeing.”

“Eleanor was fantastic! She sent us pictures from each drop-in and even picked up some pillow fluff that the dogs destroyed. Could not be happier with having her for our babies while we had to be gone.”

“Jenn was absolutely fantastic! She was kind, compassionate, friendly, and went above and beyond while watching my kitties. if I ever need to use Rover services again, I will definitely be reaching out to Jen again! 😁”

“Emily is great. Super nice, flexible, attentive to our dog, took lots of notes, and asked lots of great questions to ensure their time together went smoothly. She even thought to look ahead to the weather and ask about rain protocol for walking the dog. We’ll definitely book again!”

“Kalin was great! We needed someone to check in on our dogs on short notice. Kalin was super responsive and we were able to set something up in within 30 minutes. She sent plenty of pictures of our dogs and made sure we had a full report. I would definitely recommend hiring Kalin!”
About: I have years of experience taking care of both dogs and cats, and with housesitting as well. I am able to help support animals who have health concerns, special needs, and anxiety. I can administer medication and give shots as well. I have a senior kitty and an adult age cat myself, so plenty of experience with senior care. And I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors. I am happy to work with any owner to accommodate their pets needs and make them feel comfortable while they are away. I am have nearly full availability the next couple of months, so please reach out and I should be able to accommodate any time frame. I will abide by all house and property rules for the animals safety which includes leashes, fences, walking paths. I am happy to work with owners on what they are most comfortable with. I do not bring pets inside my home as my cats are usually not friendly to that! But I am always happy to stay at others homes.
“Sarah was great with our two dogs! They warmed up to her very quickly. She kept them comfortable and entertained while we were away. It was a perfect first experience for us!”

About: I grew up in a house with a dog and cats. Since I was young, I have helped out family, friends, and neighbors with pet care. I have done everything from drop ins for socializing cats to watching 4 big dogs (and some birds) for a week! For many years, I had several families who counted on me to watch their animals while they were on vacations. I don’t have any pets of my own, so I would be so happy to give your animals some love and care! I can offer transparent and frequent communication, as desired, about how your pet is doing (+ pics of course!) I currently work standard 9-5 on weekdays. I am happy to provide more attentive care evenings and weekends! Outside of work hours, I can commit to around the clock attention as needed :) My apartment is animal safe and provides plenty of space for cats and small/medium dogs. I have a courtyard area, but it is not fenced in. I also in a great area for walking and close to a park.
“Kumiko did a wonderful job. Came by every day, stayed with our kitty for a while and played with her. She sent many great and cute photos. Very reliable and super quick to reach via the messenger feature on the Rover app. We were very happy with her and will hire her again.”

“Olivia has been wonderful with our big goofy Swissy as our recurring walker. Olivia is very detailed with her reports and thoughtful about our dogs needs with the weather.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes. From french bulldog to mastiffs. I grew up with Golden Retrievers and Labs, but every dog is important. I enjoy playing with dogs (especially mine) and I will consistently update you on how your pet is doing and pay close attention to their needs. I work from home so I don't have to leave your pet for an extended period of time and can watch over your home as well as your pet! I have been working from home for the past 3 years so I get a lot of time to spend with my dog! I like to set the first hour after I get off work to play with my dog because I know how restless a pet can be if they have some pent up energy. Whether it it throwing a toy around or going on a walk, the let's I watch get the attention they deserve! I prefer to watch pets in their own home. I ask questions about "do's and dont's", feeding schedule, what vet you generally go to, contact info, pet allergies, what phrases your pet understands ( EX. potty v.s pee pee). And any other information that might be pertinent to your pets.
“Athena was tremendous with my cat while I was gone for an extended trip. She took care of his needs and was very communicative. I would definitely book Athena for future cat-sitting needs.”

Saint Joseph pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jessica did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs while we were away. One dog is nervous around new people and pretty much anybody who isn’t us, and that in turn makes our other dog anxious as well. Jessica was gentle, resourceful, and creative in managing them and their drop-in visits. She also communicated well with us, so we felt our dogs were safe and in good hands. Thank you!

Adeline was absolutely superb!! She watched my 3 cats while I was away getting married and I had absolutely 0 worries while they were in her care. She would send updates/pics daily and let me know of any issues right away and was even able to do medications for one of my fussy guys; would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!
Jules is the best pet sitter I’ve had since I’ve been using Rover. She checked in on my old girly 3 times a week for me for 4 weeks while our schedules lined up. She was super attentive to Zoe and let me know anytime there was something that may have been wrong or slightly off. I always felt super comfortable knowing Jules was checking in on Zoe for me because I felt it was obvious she truly cared. I also appreciate that Jules was super patient with me with some of my last minute schedule changes I had. I’m gonna miss having her checking in on my girly.
