“Mary was great! She provided great updates and pictures of my dog! My dog was well taken care of. I will definitely ask her to take care of my dog again!!”

“Izchel was amazing! It was my first time using a dog/house sitter. She took great care of my 3 standard poodles. She stayed at my house with them & everything was neat & tidy & my dogs were calm & relaxed when I got home. She kept me updated while I was away & asked questions if she needed clarification. She went above & beyond, I will definitely use her again.”

“Cathryn is wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Lucy who is highly energetic. She kept us updated with pictures each day and was accommodating when things popped up. This was our first time using rover after changing dog sitters and I’m so thankful we found her!”

“We had such a great experience with Sidnee! She was incredibly patient and caring with our six dogs. She followed every detail perfectly, kept us updated with Ron and his food and making sure he ate, paying attention to Kahlua and Baileys behavior and resolving any issues or changing things if needed. Her communication was amazing the entire time. She kept us updated, listened to our notes, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. You can really tell she cares about the dogs. Highly recommend! 💛”

“Sarah did an amazing job with out two dogs! One of our dogs is older and is on several medications. Sarah did a great job taking extra care to make sure she got what she needed! She sent us pictures and videos daily. She left the house looking perfect! We will definitely be using her again!”

“Cindy was great! I hadn’t left my dogs overnight for a long time with one of them being a senior. But I felt comfortable and not worried with Cindy staying at my home with them. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos. Will book again for sure!”

“Nick and Melissa are excellent sitters! They watched our dog and cat while we were gone for the holidays. They provided regular updates and pictures, great communication, and are fair on pricing. I highly recommend and we will use them again! 😊”

“Pam is wonderful. She is not only reliable and communicative with me, but she is most importantly terrific with my pups. Both Clarence and Mary seemed to love her on sight. She worked well with me when our plans changed and was always agreeable. Pam is everything one hopes for as a house-sitter, pet-sitter. She cared for my home in a way that was respectful and consistent, but most of all, she cared for my furbabies. Thanks, Pam! We know we will reach out again! Best, Whitney”

About: I have hands - on pet care experience with dogs of all sizes, and I'm especially comfortable and confident caring for large breeds. I understand their strengths, energy, and exercise needs. I provide structured, loving care to keep them happy and safe. I'm patient, gentle, and highly attentive to routines, medications, and mobility limitations. I create a calm, safe environment and provide the extra time, comfort, and reassurance to all pets needs to feel secure and loved. After losing my two beloved dogs a little over a year apart, my heart is still healing, and while I'm not ready to bring another of my own into my life yet I want to love others as my own. Lily was my 15 1/2 year old Pit that was the most loving compassionate furbaby and best friend that I lost in August 2024. Tayo was my 7 year Cane Corso that gave me so much joy and helped me grieve and get through the pain of Lily that I lost in December 2025. My heart is in a million pieces still. I know that grief is just love that hasn't found it's place yet. I have so much love to give. Caring for other peoples pets will become a meaningful part of my routine. It allows me to share comfort, patience, and affection with animals who need it, while honoring the bond I'll always have with my own. Pet care isn't just a job for me; it's way to stay connected to the joy, companionship, and unconditional love that animals bring, even during a season of loss. I moved to FL from AL 3 years ago for work with just my two dogs and cat Mercy who is now 5. I have a daughter Ashleigh and an amazing son in law Hunter that blessed me with 3 grandbabies (Laura, Waelynn, Kash) and 2 fur grand babies (Finn, Doc) and a son Austin. I follow their normal routine. I keep doors, gates, leashes, and yards secure at all times. I watch body language and stress signals and adjust care accordingly.
“Madison and her fiancé took such great care of Ollie for a week for us! I have no complaints. They went above and beyond and it was like we never left when we got home to our pup. He seemed happy, content and well taken care of!”


“Allyson was amazing taking care of our furry baby!! She sent photos and gave us updates. We are happy to have her care for our Eli whenever she is available! Thank you Allyson!!!”

“Stephanie was AMAZING! She was very proactive in setting up a meet and greet beforehand and asked questions that helped us get to know her. She kept us updated the whole time on how he was and sent photos and pictures to us. She even filmed our pup opening his Christmas gift since we were away for the holiday. Went we came back our house was just as we left it and clean. She even put our recycling and trash at the curb for us. She also left a note and cute little chalkboard for when we got home. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: Hi! My name is Christian and I’m a responsible, reliable, and caring pet sitter. I’m punctual, organized, and take responsibilities seriously. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and treating them as if they were my own. I understand the importance of routines, exercise, feeding schedules, and providing lots of attention and affection. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I maintain an open and flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs at most times. Feel free to reach out to me whenever you need it. I prioritize safety at all times by closely supervising pets, following owner instructions carefully, and maintaining a calm and controlled environment. I ensure pets are always on leash during walks unless otherwise instructed, avoid unsafe areas, and keep doors and gates secured at all times.
About: I got my first dog and took care of him from a pup, when I was 16. I love animals, and I want to take life into my own hand, with my career. I’m mostly adaptable. And I’d love to care for your fur baby while you’re away. I have my own dog - Peanut. He is a 3 year old, friendly Shih Tzu who would love to meet other dogs. But I run generally pretty chill and relaxed. I am home-schooled and home most - if not all the time. So I will be with pets almost all the time. Don’t worry if your baby has separation anxiety, mines does too. I am flexible with a lot of my things, but I also don’t mind a good plan or schedule. We have a fenced-in yard and space they can run around, play, and go the bathroom in. If your dog needs walks, just let me know personally so we can work something out. We also have a nice neighborhood and small park for walking and playing. If you have a schedule/food your dog needs to stick too..? Just let me know, and provide the set food and if you’d like, a crate for at night or dog bed/blanket. I have one myself, but if you’re comfortable with your dog sleeping on the bed, that’s also an option. A toy/toys they like are very welcome, and hopefully they are friendly with other dogs, since I have one of my own. And okay around children since I have a niece. And if they’re already basic, house and potty trained.
About: I have had a love for animals since I was about five years old. I have been around animals since I was three years old. From time to time I watch my neighbors animals while they are on vacation. I normally spend the night at their houses and care for their dogs while they are gone. I have had many dogs in my lifetime as well as cats. I work like 2 days a week at a movie theater .I enjoy being with pets so much that i feel like it would be a great job for me. I have plenty of free time throughout the day ,and i have plenty of energy to be with animals . I care so much for others pets and take care of them like there my own .I make sure I follow exact directions left for me and I am able to take there animals on as many walks as needed and crate them or do whatever I need to do to protect the clients home .
“Sarah is the best! Our Chai Boy loved his time with her! She had amazing communication from start to finish and sent lots of photos which we absolutely love! Highly recommend Sarah and will definitely book with her again!”

We needed a sitter for our two dogs at the last minute holiday week, and Raina responded immediately. From the day we met her, you can notice that she loves and cares for animals, our dogs came to her and started to play with her. We are so happy to say that Raina was the best experience as a sitter through Rover. She kept us informed through photos and messages. It was clear that Raina went above and beyond in taking care of our babies. We definitely recommend Raina, as she is very professional and trustworthy. We will absolutely book with her again.

I can’t enough about Tyi. She has been the best dog sitter we have had ever Tyi genuinely cared about the dogs and their welfare. She went above and beyond for our senior dog that has numerous problems due to allergies She did research and best advised on what we can do l. Along with doing it with our permission Tyi was phenomenal in communicating with us, she texted, sent videos and photos. I will be definitely using her again and again
