“Karen was great with my new puppy. She was kind, considerate, responsive and caring and followed all instructions well. Will definitely be using her again soon!”

“Rae was amazing! I forgot to put on my pet’s profile that he can’t be left with bones (he likes to eat any toys I get him), and she offered to drive back to my home and put it back into our toy crate. She was extremely communicative and kind, and provided me with pictures of my dogs every time she stopped in, which was so appreciate while on my trip. I would recommend Rae for any and all services, and if she’s available in the future I plan on asking her to take care of my fur babies every time I’m out of town”

“Liz was great! She came for a meet and greet the weekend before our trip, and called and sent pictures when she went by to check on our kitties! So thankful for her help 🤍”


“Stacey is super dependable and communicative! Very thankful for the great care she took in regularly feeding our outdoor cat Zelda daily while we were out of town!!”

“Another great visit from Mandy! She gave zippy his meds, played with him and let him out to go potty! My husband and I (and Zippy) loves when she stops by!”

About: As a toddler until I was 10, we had dacshaunds. I loved them so but when you discover them after they have passed, it leaves an impression on you. I've lived with Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers and pet most every pup I see with permission, of course. I would love to visit with the dogs if my community. I work virtually 4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. This allows me the ability to watch pets, and care for my own. I have 4 indoor cats and a myriad of outdoor cats. I play with them, feed them and provide then with their favorite snacks: Churus. Cleaning up the box during each visit is a given considering cats need a neat space. For dogs, I would make sure to have bags to get their waste and keep snacks to make sure their given something for good behavior.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs on rover before, this is a new account. I love all furry friends and i can keep them active! I am athletic and i can take care of your dog if they need extra exercise! I current attend school, so usually early mornings and afternoons work best for me. Weekends are also good. I can always board dogs at the house too. I have two dachshunds that are extremely well taken care of. I have a pretty nice backyard that is fenced in. Animals are allowed on the furniture and beds.
“Jada did amazing with our dogs! Not only did she take great care of them but she also played with them, gave us updates on how they each were doing and their general health, and even noticed some non-pet related issues at the home and offered to help fix while we were out of town. Very responsive and professional, highly recommend!”

About: I have cared for many animals over the past 18 years while managing a pet resort. I have also walked dogs during my lunch hour. I recently retired after 18 years in veterinary medicine and managing pet resort. I have always loved animals and have 6 dogs of my own. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and have 6 dogs of my own. My dogs are dog friendly and go to daycare often and play.
About: I believe no matter what age that every dog is a good boy, or girl. Elderly or young they’re just as perfect in my eyes. I’m a college student only going 2 days a week for a few hours. Other than that I’m perfectly happy setting aside time to help out! I take care of your animals just as you instruct! If you say a cup of food, I’ll ask what size. It’s important that the owner is just as happy as the animal.
“Kaitlyn was wonderful with my puppy Ernie! She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with the cutest photos and messages. I could tell she truly cared about him—highly recommend!”

“Meghan was great! My cats are usually skiddish around new people but they came up to her right away and were social with her every visit. She took great care of them and even helped me with a house issue while I was away. Will definitely book her again.”

“My babies love Patrick, it's so nice to see them happy when he comes and visits my boys! He is always on time and creates play time with both of them!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. My husband and I live with our mini Aussiedoodle named Panda, a quirky and cuddly pup. My family trusts me with their dogs because they know I have a special bond with them. Dogs are really tuned into our energy—they can sense love and affection and reflect back the same energy. I’m currently working from home, with a flexible schedule. So let me know how I can help at least a day in advance and I’ll be there to save your day! I have a spacious apartment with lots of toys to keep your dog happy during the day. I’ll take your high energy pup on multiple walks as needed around safe dog parks and neighborhood .
“I needed someone to drop in on Brodie over the weekend while I was traveling, and Jess was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She was even happy to have a FaceTime call before the first visit, which gave me great peace of mind. Jess came by four times in total, always on time, and sent tons of pictures and videos so I could see how happy my boy was with her. It’s clear she truly cares. 10/10 I would definitely recommend her!”
