“Very happy with the time Amanda took with Peter. Her experience with animals was made very clear with the interactions between her and Peter. Peter is very shy around new people oftentimes, not the case with Amanda. Amanda went above and beyond what I expected and I will definitely be using her services in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up caring for animals my entire life and have hands-on experience with dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and other small animals. Being around a variety of pets has taught me how to understand different personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means long walks, playtime, or simply giving them attention and comfort while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for! I am taking a gap year after college and will be doing lots of road tripping. I would love to explore new cities, and since I'm not working I will have all day to play with and care for your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and attention, and feel comfortable while their owners are away.
“Jenna was a fantastic sitter for our 2 boys. We came home to a nice, tidy house and very happy kitties. She even reached out during our stay to let us know we running low on cat litter which was very much appreciated (thank goodness to Instantcart). We will definitely be booking with Jenna again!”

About: Hi, I'm Eva! I’ve had dogs and been surrounded by pets my whole life. I currently have a 4 year old Portuguese Water Dog, Claude. He craves social time with other dogs (big and small) and demands at least two trips a day to the grassy park down the street. He is very active and loves to hike or run after work when it's cool out. He loves learning new tricks and recently passed his Canine Good Citizen test. I work from home Monday - Friday and have a fenced in yard in the back if the dogs are desperate to get some energy out sooner rather than later! I work Monday - Friday on East Coast hours so am usually done by 3/3:30 to get the dogs out and enjoying the sunshine. I am able to take breaks throughout the day for walks to the park and around the neighborhood. We love to go for a run or hike after work when it is cool out! I am available all day, able to provide excellent communication and attention for your dog. I have a fully fenced in backyard that the dogs can play in anytime they wish.
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life, including being a regular dog walker & dog sitter for my neighbors as a kid. I love dogs and very attentive to their needs. I would love to meet your special dogs! I've worked with young puppies to senior dogs. I am a patient person who understands that each dog is different, so each needs different care. I grew up with dogs since I was a kid. I currently have one dog named Slinky! Slinky was a foster fail, and now I can't imagine my life without him! I love to give long walks to my dog & any other dogs everyday. I also have an active lifestyle so I would be happy to take your dogs on any runs or hikes if they need to burn that extra energy!
About: Just an FYI we can only sit for dogs that are 30 lbs or smaller, due to HOA rules in our condo complex. I have had and cared for a dog most of my life. I have never been dog sitting on Rover for a couple of years now, and have enjoyed it immensely. I love having dogs around. I am a stay at home mom, who is home a majority of the day. Russell, my husband, would also be caring for your dog, and he's great with dogs. We would love to have your pup over for a visit, while you are out of town. If you have any question, please feel free to ask. I do have a 4 year old son. He is great with dogs/pets. He used to dogs being around.We had a dog for his whole life. Unfortunately, our Charlie dog passed away last May. He was 11/12 years old. I am a stay at home mom, with a bookkeeping freelance business, so I am home most of the day. When I do work, my husband is usually home, except on Tuesdays. I have a 4 year old also, so I do have to take him and pick him up from preschool. We live in an apartment. We go outside often, and have no problems take dogs out. Our apartment is clean and tidy. I am good at following directions that may be given to care for you pup.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have volunteered at animal shelters for several years now. I’m comfortable with dogs of all temperaments, energy levels, and backgrounds. I’m also an avid walker, so your dog will actually get a real walk. I regularly care for other dogs beyond my own, and I’ve recently added two cats to my household, so I’m equally at home with feline guests. I work full time, so I’m available any evening after 5 PM on weekdays and anytime on weekends. Happy to discuss your needs and try and fit your schedule as much as I can. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care I’d want for my own. I’ll stick to your pet’s established routine (feeding, play time, and walks) so their day feels as normal as possible. I keep things tidy, clean up after every visit, and make sure food and water are fresh. I’m happy to accommodate any specific instructions about your space, your pet’s habits, or anything else that matters to you.
About: I love dogs and grew up with cats. My long-distance girlfriend is taking care of our 5 year old cockapoo. I am missing dog energy in my life, and would love to meet and take care of your pet. A note: my apartment complex does not allow pit bull terriers, staffordshire terriers, rottweilers, doberman pinschers, chows, akitas, presa canarios, or alaskan malamutes. I work full tim, but only go in to the office 2-3 days a week for meetings. I am out of the house for around 8 hours on those days. I am free all day/night on weekends to care for and be with your friend. My apartment has a large outdoor area to go on long walks. The apartment is mostly hardwood floor with carpeted areas in the two bedrooms.
“Kayleigh is wonderful with our cats! She takes great care of our home and sends us updates daily. We definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their pets cared for while away.”

About: Caring for animals comes naturally, and nothing makes me happier than making them feel safe, loved, and at ease. Animals have always been part of my life, as I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats and more! I've raised puppies from 3 days old, having to bottle feed and potty train...all the way up to seniors, managing meds and declining capabilities. I volunteered at a shelter in Mexico for a year. Through that experience, I was exposed to a lot of medical and behavioral situations, which taught me a lot. My partner and I both work from home, which means your pup will never be lonely. We know how to make dogs feel comfortable, and aim to have them feel like they've taken a little vacation, too! I know leaving your pets can be stressful. I send lots of updates and pictures, so you can feel relaxed and assured your pup is happy and healthy. My partner and I work from home, and have a lot of flexibility in our schedule. We currently have a 10lb Chihuahua, who was left on our doorstep with umbilical cord still attached! At 2 years old now, he's a pretty easy going guy, and likes to be part of a pack from time to time. He usually gets 2 walks a day around the neighborhood. Or, we will do a nice long walk or hike, if time allows. We feed twice a day and provide treats for being a good dog, of course. I love to take work breaks to play tug of war or fetch. Belly rubs are available every night for all four legged residents of the house who want them! Any furry guests would fit seemlessly into our routine. We have a fenced yard, and are always home when pets are in the yard. No dangerous chemicals or pet hazards in our house. Generally, we aren't away from for more than a few hours. We are also happy to take them with us, whenever possible.
“Caroline is by far the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! She took wonderful pictures of my cats each day and brought my poor garden back to life in the middle of summer. She is reliable, and has excellent communication and care.”

Santa Fe dog parents share their Rover experiences
Reiley was great, as usual. He took care of our cat Olive and our chickens. And he went way above and beyond when our chickens were accidentally locked out of our coop by a construction crew. He came over to our place late in the evening, found the chickens, and got them safely back into the coop. We plan to use Reiley again whenever we travel.

Russell provided great care for our dog Blizzy! He was quick to respond to not only our inquiry, but also with photos and communication throughout the stay. We were able to visit the home at drop off and asked questions around Blizzy's diet, allergies, toy preference, behaviors; the care to detail was obvious. Would absolutely use him again to watch our Pets! Thanks again Russell!
