“Anna was SO sweet and great to work with! We loved the pictures and communication. We missed our pets terribly, but knowing that the kittens were being so well-cared for helped to minimize some of the worries about being away. Thank you!”
About: I have 5+ years of dog experience from working at a service dog organization. I’m trained in dog handling and basic grooming(nails trims & bathing etc.) I am also certified in dog first aid and CPR. I have a Golden Retriever, who in the last year went blind due to illness. So, I would be able to assist dogs that may have the same needs. I do work full-time, but I am off Sunday and Monday. Those days I am very flexible with my schedule. My availability throughout the week is 7:30am-10:30am on Tuesdays and 12-1pm & 4:15- 9pm Wednesday through Saturday I think that building a bond with your pet would be first priority! I think this, because I want them to be able to trust me.
“Kathleen was awesome and communicated with me. I couldn't have asked for a better person I didn't have to worry about anything and during our daughter's wedding it was such a relief Highly recommend”
“Rachel was GREAT! She was able to help out with our dog at the last minute when we decided to go out of town and couldn't take our dog along! Dozer has a lot of anxiety and doesn't do well with boarding, so having someone who could come into our home and care for him was a perfect solution!!”

“Sage was a wonderful sitter! She was attentive to our pets and took care of playing, feeding and their litter boxes and other accidents. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, moving objects out of kitty reach and bonding with our animals by holding them and playing with them. She kept us updated daily with detailed notes and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our kitties again and would highly recommend to others! Thank you so much!”

About: Hello! We have two large dogs Frankie Mae and Sequoia and have had cats in the past! Our pets are our babies and are very spoiled! No kiddos in the home at this time. Alisha is home most days and Davon is retired and is usually home and available for plenty of puppy play time! Potty breaks are often every two hours, or more is needed. Our dogs have access to the home besides a few rooms. We have a large rural home with an unfenced yards. Our dogs roam the property and we walk them as well, along with trips to the dog park! We have no children in the home. We can kennel your pup when away from the home or during the night if they are more comfortable. We have both large and extra large kennels and dividers to make kennels smaller if needed. Pups can roam the yard unleashed if they have good recall or we can leash then if they are wanderers. Please share with us any needs that you and your pup need and we will do our best to make accommodations! We know what it’s like to leave your pets behind. We used boarding for years and have recently changed to Rover and we love the idea that our pups get the opportunity to be a part of a family while we are away!
“Easily the best sitter I've had from this app. She communicates well, goes above and beyond, sends so many photos, and is a lovely human. I've booked with three pet sitters in total on Rover and she shines above the rest. I can tell she genuinely enjoys this job and cares about my pets well-being. I'm usually so anxious leaving my cats for long periods of time, but not at all with Maegan. I don't think words can properly express how wonderful she is!”
“Savannah was great with my two kitties! She instantly started to play when then when I dropped them off so I knew I left my cats in great hands. Definitely recommend to anyone!”
About: I have had pets of my own since I was a child and have worked to ensure they get the best care possible. I have also dog & cat sat for family friends for days or weeks making sure that they were happy, healthy, and well cared for during their pet parents absence. I work full time and will be attending school in the fall, so I will be available to visit, walk, and feed pets before and after work as well as in between classes. I have lots of experience with other peoples pets and work to foster a trusting relationship with the family and pet in order for each pet to receive the most quality care!
About: I've had multiple jobs now working with all sorts of different dogs! From puppies to elderly; crazy to lazy. Plus everything else in between. I've worked at a shelter, bathing dogs, and currently a doggy daycare, so I say I've got my far share of experience. I work full time at a doggy daycare, but I am more than capable to stop by before work, during my lunch break, and anytime after work. The 2 dogs that I have take multiple potty breaks throughout the day and get plenty of time to take in the fresh air and roll in the grass.

“Glory has been a dog walker and done doggy daycare for our two dogs for three years. She does an excellent job walking the dogs and even goes beyond our expectations. She keeps track of when and where they go to the bathroom and the route she used. She also continues to work on basic commands and then praises them. But what stands out most about Glory is how much she loves dogs. Her greetings are genuine and enthusiastic. She always make sure to give them some loving when she gets there and before she leaves. The dogs love her and so do we.”

Alisha E.
“Alisha has been around animals her whole life. She has taken care of fish, cats, hamster, ferret, horses, chickens, and dogs. She was taught at a young age how special her animals were. She was responsible for taking care of them by walking them, she kept them well groom and fed. While in high school and college she took her dog to the local nursing home to visit the residents, where she went room to room visiting for hours. Her and Kia, her black lab, would love to dress up and parade around to nursing home, neighborhood and shut in elderly and sick people to see the excitement on all ages from children to elderly was an excitement that they loved to do on a weekly base. After moving out on her own she purchase a Bernese Mountain Puppy, she named her Sequoia, the two of them have been inseparable they do everything together. Sequoia loves to go to doggie parks, trail walking car rides and especially loves to have yearly birthday puppy parties where Alisha remembers to bring treats for the other puppies who come to the party. Moving in with her love of her life the two of them along with Sequoia and three cats have adopted another dog, Frankie Mae, the two dogs love hanging out together like sisters. When they come to visit they are calm and relax, well behaved you would think you would worry about the kids but you don't need worry they are well mannered dogs. The love and attention Alisha and her husband give these animals are remarkable. Your pet would be well taken care of if you leave them in the hands of Alisha she will make sure they are nurtured loved and cared for she always gives 100% into the love of her animals.”
