“Allison and Adam are wonderful people and they could not have been more welcoming for Loki. He didn't want to come home and he may be depressed this evening !! He misses his new friends. Thank you very much for taking such good care of our pup!!”
“Ronnie and family were great. Lots of walks and excercise, pictures of Wilson sent, and I didn’t worry ‘too much’ about him because I felt he was in good hands. It was my first time using Rover and I was very pleased with the experience. Thank you Ronnie for taking such good care of my boy.”
About: We’ve taken care of animals since we were kids. We love all animals and want to make your pets feel at home even when you are gone. Work from home several days a week and home on weekends. We create a loving and warm environment for all animals. We will take more than just cats and dogs. We are happy to also watch rabbits, fish, frogs, you name it, we will watch it! All animals are treated like family. Pets are allowed on furniture and in beds. We do not have a fenced yard, but we are an active family that love to go on walks and hikes. We have an aussiedoodle who thinks all animals are his friend and loves group walks!
About: I’ve always been around animals! Having cared from a wide variety of animals from a young age I’ve picked up on tons of tips and tricks for training and enrichment! I’m confident in my training abilities, and especially care with disabled/ elderly dogs. Puppies are no challenge either! Any animals are welcome big or small! 🐾 I’m currently working full time, however I get off pretty early in the day and have a ton of wiggle room in my schedule! Weekends are fair game completely! I am incredibly accommodating, so when it comes to pet care in other homes, I 100% prioritize maintaining the current schedules/ routine the animal is used to. I’ll follow specific instructions for playtime, feeding, administering medications, and additional needs. I ensure a clean and happy environment, so cleaning up messes is nothing I’m not used to! On walks I prioritize safety, so the dog will never be off leash and I remain very spatially aware of potential hazards. Walks are where I like to do the most training, so I will also provide a ton of positive reinforcement and patience!
“You can count on Steve. He really is a great human being who truly will take CARE of your four-legger. Titan loves you, Steve, and thanks you for a safe and fun second home while mommy was away from Indiana working hard to pay for the kibbles. God bless and thank you!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous about leaving Duke with a stranger. Nathan was very understanding, kind and most importantly him and his son took great care of Duke. He sent pictures daily and even sent a video of Duke playing. All my concerns about leaving him vanished completely! I will be calling Nathan the next time we need a sitter for Duke. Thank you Nathan for a great experience.”
“Jeff and his family took great care of our pup while we were away. They provided regular updates and photos. When we picked up our dog, she was in good spirits! We will definitely book with Jeff again.”
“Jess did a great job! Her communication was excellent and she treated our Molly just like she was her own dog. Molly got along great with Jess, her husband, and their cute little dog. It was a great experience, and we hope to use her again soon.”
“Jill has watched my dogs on numerous occasions. She provides regular updates and photos. One of my dogs is a senior and requires some extra love and she makes sure he is comfortable.”
“First time we ever left our sweet puppy Tex and we were going all the way to Europe. I was very sad and nervous about leaving him but I couldn’t speak more highly about Veronika and her family! We were given updated photos and comments about how our boy was doing daily and he always looked like he as having a blast! Definitely recommend Veronika to love on your sweet pets when you are away! Very loving family and I never had to worry about him being lonely or locked up all day!”
“Manya is my dog’s regular sitter and I just recently felt totally comfortable leaving her for a 2 week business trip. I knew she’d be safe and happy and will be for future trips too.”
“Annie was great! She hosted my elderly pug for a weekend and he loves his stay! She sent pictures and updates and was very attentive to him. He loved playing with her little dog too!”
“Kathryn did such an amazing job with our 2 dogs while we were on vacation. We didn’t have to worry about a thing while we were gone. Kathryn updates us daily with pictures and videos of our pups playing with her dogs, so we had peace of mind that they were having a good time. It was a huge benefit that she offered pick-up and drop-off and was even flexible and doing each at different locations to accommodate us. We will definitely be booking a stay for our pups with Kathryn again in the future!”
“Carmichael had a great time with Emily -- again! And, he gets to visit again in a few weeks. Emily (and Emily) has always been great. Quick to reply with communications, has no problem with some of our weirder instructions for our weird little boy, and is overall, very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend! Carmichael agrees!”
“Tyler did a great job caring for our dog Ernie! He was kind, timely, and communicative. We are so appreciative he was able to accommodate our (sometimes particular) dog. I would recommend his services to anyone! Thank you Tyler :)”
“Sarah watched our two pups for several days while we were out of town over the holiday. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. We really appreciated her flexibility and all the updates she sent so we knew Bennie and Jetta were doing well. She and her family took excellent care of them and made sure our dogs got lots of exercise, sunshine, and snuggles! Would definitely recommend Sarah!”
“First time using Rover and had a fantastic experience! Our pet sitter, Gabbi, maintained great communication throughout the entire process. She was easy to coordinate with, which gave us real peace of mind. Her space is well-kept, with plenty of area for our dog to relax, go on walks, and stay active. We especially appreciated the regular picture updates-it was reassuring to see our dog happy and well cared for. We will definitely be having her watch our dog again.”
“Aurora was very sweet and caring for my Luna, she took Luna in at a very short notice, and was even able to drop her off early ahead of her drop off time which helped me tremendously since I was in the process of moving. Luna was groomed and I received updated pictures of Luna. I would definitely book again in the future!”

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
