“Anna was wonderful. This was my first time using Rover. I was very happy with the updates I received. I know my dogs loved having her come. Will definitely be using Anna again in the future.”
“Cares very much about the pets. Both of my cats were well cared for.”
“Claire was great at communicating and took very good care of Sadie. On the meet and greet Sadie slipped her collar and Claire helped me out by helping to catch her. This is my son’s dog so I was dog sitting but needed someone during the day while I had to be gone and had no idea how to catch a loose dog. You’ll love working with Claire. Highly recommend.”
About: I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including seniors and pups with special needs, and I’m great at reading body language to make sure every pet feels at ease. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or just keeping their routine steady, I bring patience, reliability, and a whole lot of heart to every visit. I graduated this May and currently hold a part-time position, so my schedule will be fairly open this summer to give your pup the time and attention they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow their usual routines closely—whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I give lots of attention, cuddles, and positive reinforcement to keep them happy and relaxed. I prioritize clear communication with the pet owner to make sure I’m meeting all their needs and providing the best care possible.
“Hailee, when above and beyond, she was amazing with my pets.”
“Marnie did an amazing job taking care of Lucy and Samson while we were away! Thank you!!”
“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.

“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!”

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!
About: I grew up with dogs so I have about 17 years of helping my parents take care of our doggies! I'm in a program to become a dog trainer.

I live in an apartment with a walking path or I can take the dog wherever the parent would feel comfortable with me taking them too. There’s also a few parks around me I can take them to or I can walk them around your neighborhood.

“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.”
