“Jamie did a great job dropping in for a visit to take care of our puppy Wally! He was in great hands and we felt very comfortable with her looking after his needs. Great communication. We can’t wait to rebook in the future!”
“Margaret went over and above to take care of Blackberry. While we were out of town, she drove her to an emergency vet visit and waited with her, then brought her back to our niece 's house who is watching her for us. We were very grateful for her help, and she was very nice to deal with. Highly recommend!”
“Second time with Alison and Robert and they did a great job again! Would happily rebook again. Kitties were well taken care of and everything was in order when we returned. Thank you both! Highly recommend them.”
“Cori and Jamie are absolute professionals at their job and took the welfare of our pets as seriously as we do. Their communication was impressive to say the least giving us daily updates on our pets and checking on our home during a major storm. Their dedication gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend their services!”
“Kendra did a great job caring for our dog and communicating with us. This allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying about our dog. We will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 8-9 years old, taught proper care and handling as well as respect for all. I have experience giving medicine regularly and as needed, bathing and brushing, assessing comfort levels and giving good ol’fashion belly rubs. I am familiar with strict meal plans and the importance of keeping up their established routines. I follow your furry friends lead, never forcing unwanted attention and respecting their boundaries. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to help watch your lovable puppers and cats! I am available 6AM-1PM everyday with my afternoon/evening availability changing weekly, only requiring a few days notice to work out our game plan. I am currently available for in-home visits and walks, and am fully capable of running around with your dog when needed! I respect all house rules and keep clients updated upon arrival and when I’m departing.
About: I've never been without a pet--my family has had Labs and Goldens since before I was born, so I was raised taking care of and training dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand how important it is to find a trustworthy person to look after your pet, so please don't hesitate to ask me anything that will help you and your fur babies feel more comfortable :) I work part-time 3 days a week, so I have plenty of spare time to visit and walk your pets! My schedule is flexible, so if you ever need to make an adjustment, just let me know! I've taken care of pets with a wide range of personalities, so I understand that different pets need different types of care. You know what's best for your pet, so let me know how you do things and I will do my best to keep things consistent, familiar, and comfortable for your dogs!
About: I’m not just a pet sitter — I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience that goes beyond the basics. I’ve volunteered at a local dog rescue, fostered dogs in need of extra love and care, and have looked after beloved pets for friends and family for years. What truly sets me apart is the level of compassion and experience I bring. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a laidback senior dog, or even a small pet like a hamster or guinea pig, I take the time to understand and care for each animal as if they were my own. You can trust that your pet — no matter how big, small, or quirky — will be safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I have a guinea pig named Chewy, and making sure he’s happy, clean, and well-fed is just part of my day. I also help care for our family dog, Pierre, whether it’s taking him for a walk after work or helping my parents with him during the day. Because of this, I’m already in the rhythm of daily pet care—from feeding schedules and exercise to playtime and attention. I don’t just make time for animals—I naturally build my day around them. When caring for pets in your home, I always treat the space with the same respect I would want in my own. I follow your rules closely, pay attention to routines, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m a rule-reader, not a rule-bender—whether it’s specific feeding instructions, leash preferences, crate routines, or off-limit areas, I make sure to stick to your expectations. Your home is your pet’s safe space, and I’m there to keep it that way.n
About: I volunteered at the animal shelter Wanderes Rest all throughout high school. I have experience with many different kinds of animal behaviors. I work as a vet assistant for my job. Which means I know how to handle and take care of your precious fur babies. I can teach new commands if requested. I have experience with giving oral medication to both cats and dogs. I have experience with taking care of both senior cats and dogs. I will be attentive and detail oriented to their needs and care. I have experience with responding to emergencies in a calm and efficient manner. As well as keeping you updated about your pets wellbeing with LOTS of pictures. I've had stray dogs and cats approach me. Without doing anything to get their attention. Animals seem drawn towards my energy. Which is why I believe I'm the best choice when choosing someone to take care of your fur babies with Love and Attention while you are away 💕 I currently work weekends which means I am available during the week Mon - Fri. To drop by and check in on your precious babies. The only times I'm not available are 1-2:30pm since I walk dogs during those times. I am attentive and detailed oriented. I will follow your instructions word for word. Treating your fur babies like my own fur babies with Love, Attention, and Playful energy.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including feeding, providing fresh water, and ensuring they get regular exercise through walks. I have looked after my friends dog on multiple occasions, taking responsibility for their daily needs and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m actively looking to walk dogs as I enjoy walking them during the evening time. I’m a teacher so during school year, lm available 3 pm and onwards I am only offering dog walking service since I live in an apartment, it will be very difficult to take care of the dog here.
“He did a fantastic job of taking care of our girls while we were gone. They were fed, watered, played with, and poops cleaned up. We came home to some very happy cats.”

“Anne has been an absolute pleasure to work with yet again! She does great with our cat and allows us to have peace of mind when out of town. I know my little girl is in good hands. Anne is the best pet sitter we have ever had and we are so thankful for her!”
About: I have two cats and an axolotl. I'm always begging my friends to let me dogsit for them, as I adore dogs, so I figured I should get myself on Rover. I have experience walking and sitting for large dogs. I'm a big animal lover and would love to care for all animals. I am currently training for a new job position, so my schedule is pretty open and flexible for pet care. This may change in the fall. I am receptive and respectful of your boundaries and rules for your pets. You know your animals best, so I am here to listen and meet your and your pet's needs. Safety comes first, so I am vigilant about keeping your pets safe in every environment. NOTE: I can only board dogs in my home if they are well trained around cats, as the safety of my cats comes first. However, I am happy to care for any animals in your home.

Jadyne M.
“Jadyne is an absolutely amazing and very considerate pet sitter! I went out of town to visit family for over 2 weeks, and she was fantastic with coming in daily to check up on my cats. She stayed for a few hours at a time every day to check up on their automatic food and water feeders, as well as clean up their litterbox. I was especially appreciative of her attention to detail with the litterbox, since one of my cats is quite picky with the litterbox setup. Jadyne was able to accommodate her pickiness with no issues, which gave me enormous peace of mind on my trip! I was also grateful that Jadyne was willing to stay for a little bit during each visit to spend time with my cats and play with them so they wouldn't get too lonely. She frequently sent photos and videos so I knew they were doing okay, and communication was a breeze.”

Sedgewick pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nicole was fantastic in caring for our three kitties. She sent so many pictures at our request and gave very detailed notes. She also took our feedback into consideration from the first visit into the rest of the visits in our booking. We would be so happy to have her care for them again!
Sierra did a wonderful job caring for my three cats for a week. They quickly warmed up to her and she gave them lots of attention, playtime and treats! I appreciated her daily updates with photos which let me know that everyone was doing great. She had a concern about their food intake at the beginning of the week and contacted me right away so we could discuss. She is very attentive, trustworthy and responds promptly to messages. I highly recommend her and will hire her for future pet sitting needs.
Hayley did an incredible job with my dog! She went above and beyond playing with her during drop-in visits and via the pictures she sent, I could tell my dog was super happy. If you want your dog to be loved while you’re away Hayley is the person for it; so grateful!
Jennah has cared for our dog, Theo, several times a week since August! She is extremely reliable and great with dogs! She put our mind at ease checking in on him during his neuter and other times that he had an upset stomach. She was always cautious with the weather and would quickly adjust with some active playtime inside if it was too hot or too cold outside. Jennah has cared for Theo since he was a puppy and it will be hard to find someone to replace her!
James was a fantastic cat sitter! He came by ahead of time to meet my cat and make sure they were a good fit, which I really appreciated. Throughout the stay, he sent plenty of pictures every day and kept me updated on food, water, and litter box levels. He was kind, professional, and very communicative. I felt totally at ease knowing my cat was in good hands. Highly recommend!
Julianne was very friendly and SUPER patient with our extremely anxious dog, Charlie. Scheduling went smoothly, Julianne was flexible and worked with us despite our last minute booking! Julianne was very comfortable with Charlie - who can lack manners when first meeting her (a work in progress for us) which can be difficult for many given she is a relatively larger breed. She sent cute pictures and kept us updated on how everything was going. We are grateful!
Savannah was phenomenal looking after and visiting my two dogs. Her communication and follow-through were both superb. They both were clearly well-cared for and it put me at ease knowing that their wellbeing was in Savannah's hands. I absolutely give Savannah the highest of recommendations and accolades.
