“Margaret was so helpful and good with our dogs. She was communicative and responsive, she took our dogs to the park multiple times and was a gracious house guest. We are very grateful for her help and will contact her again!”
“Kendra took great care of our home and pups while we were away. She sent us daily photos and videos. Would definitely recommend Kendra taking care of your pups! We would 100% use her again!”
“Kristi was so great with our 2 little guys. She went out of her way to come to our house for a meet-and-greet and then came back another time to go over procedures, feeding, etc. It’s very hard to leave your home and pups in the care of a stranger, but Kristi put us at ease right away and didn’t feel like a stranger at all. She provided lots of updates and we were able to enjoy attending our nephew’s wedding without having to worry at all!”
“Cori and Jamie are absolutely amazing! It was so nice to go on vacation knowing our fur babies were well taken care of. Communication was perfect and they even sent us picture updates :) Thanks again Cori and Jamie!!”
“She spent a lot of time cuddling and playing with my dogs. She was great with communicating and sending updates. My senior dog needs medicine, and my rescue can be needy at times and Cammie had no problem managing their needs.”
“Amoreena was great! My dog has a lot of energy and gets very excited, but she took him out hiking and had no trouble keeping him occupied. I appreciate that she sent regular updates and I came home to a happy dog. Would definitely book again!”
“If we could give Riley 10 stars we would. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND babysitting our cat for 10 days during the Christmas holiday and put our minds at ease with his efficiency and great communication! Our cat is also super sky to new people and warmed right up to Riley’s kind personality. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet as their own, I highly recommend booking Riley for your next pet sit! ~ Many Thanks from Ashley A and John M”
“Rachel is great. She clearly loves dogs, and our boy Rufus responded really well to her gentle deneanor. She was communicative and easy to deal with in terms of appointment set up. We look forward to working with her again!”
About: I am very intuitive to what animals needs are. I’m patient and pets safety is my top priority! Comforting animals is a blessing that I can’t get enough of! My hours are a bit flexible but I am mainly have a lot of free time on Mondays & Fridays from 2-7. Saturdays and Sundays I am completely available. First off, I always read the directions multiple times. Make sure their food and leashes are easy to find. Then I always check the backyard before letting a dog out. I want to be sure there are no gaps in the fences or any other large wildlife they may want to chase. If in case of emergency, I would love to know what veterinary practice is used and emergency contacts if I’m not able to make direct contact.
“Karah did an incredible job with my animals and house.I cannot recommend her highly enough.My animals are rarely left overnight much less for 2 weeks, my dog is fragile and requires medication 2x a day.They were happy; secure and healthy when we returned.”
“Diana was fantastic and we would 100% book her again. Our two dogs took to her quickly at our initial meeting, which put me at great ease. She stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 11 month old puppy and our 14 year old dog. They both have completely different personalities and needs. Diana sent us videos and photos of the dogs, and little updates each day. The house was also well taken care of and looked as if no one had been here. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry and knew the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Macie is so flexible and helpful! We booked with her last minute due to a change in plans and we’re glad we did - we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Cargo was clearly very comfortable with her :)”
About: have extensive experience in pet care, having had many pets over the years. My journey includes rescuing, fostering, and rehoming animals, which has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of animal behavior and care needs. Throughout my experience, I've worked alongside trainers, learning valuable skills to help animals thrive. I pride myself on my patience, compassion, and unwavering love for animals, which I believe are essential qualities for providing the best care possible. My hands-on experience with a variety of pets has given me the ability to assess individual needs and provide the right support to ensure their health, happiness, and well-being. While I work full-time frok home Monday through Friday,my schedule is flexible and my love and commitment to animals are a central part of my daily routine. I make sure to devote my evenings and weekends to providing the care and attention that animals deserve. My special bond with animals allows me to connect with them on a deeper level, ensuring they receive the emotional and physical support they need. I understand how important pets are to their owners, and I treat each pet with the utmost care, creating a safe, loving environment where they can thrive. Whether it’s through walks, playtime, or simply being present, I appreciate the opportunity to spend my free time helping animals feel loved and secure. I have years of experience offering in-home pet care, which allows me to create a safe and comfortable environment for each pet in the comfort of their own home. As someone who lives downtown, I’m well-positioned to serve professionals who need reliable care for their pets while they’re away. Although I’m unable to care for animals in my own space, I pride myself on being a trusted, dependable option for those in need.
About: I've been taking care of animals since 7th grade. My family had their own dog and I used to care for animals around the neighborhood including cats and other animals. I take care of my former co workers dogs and my dad's dog. I'm a very active person, so I love to play outside and go for walks. I work as a teaching assistant full time and school gets out at 2:15 so I have plenty of time in the afternoon most days and could always take time off if needed for a long weekend. Plus school breaks I have plenty of time. I live in an apartment that has small dog parks outside. I'm very comfortable with letting dogs out in fenced in areas and taking them on leash for walks.
About: I have helped take care of my family’s dogs for as long as I can remember. I have also pet sit for my neighbors growing up for both dogs and cats! I am well versed in many different kinds of pet care and will make sure your furry friend is well cared for! I am currently a full time medical student, so I am able to help look after your pets early in the morning before I go to the hospital or in the evening. Looking forward to helping take care of your furry friends as often as I can! I currently live in an apartment with my roommate and her cat. We ensure that there are no dangerous plants for the cat to get into and make sure that the house is neat and tidy.
About: While growing up, there were always 6 dogs in the house ranging from chow chows to a small morkie. With my friends and family, I’m the first one on-call to watch their furry friends. I’ve taken care of a Great Pyrenees puppy all the way to a 15 yr old chihuahua. I’m open to overnight pet sitting or even a simple walk :) I typically work Tuesday through Saturday during the day. So I’d be available for morning walks, morning and afternoon potty breaks, or even overnight stays! Sundays and Mondays I have open availability! Since every dog is different, I try to gauge the typical day based on the information provided. If your pup is very social and loves to explore, I’ll bring them on a scenic walk. If you have couch potato, that’s no problem at all!
About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.

John R.
“I can't recommend John enough as a pet caregiver on Rover. He has a natural gift with animals, especially dogs, and his empathy and dedication truly shine through in everything he does. For the past two years, John has been the sole caretaker for our elderly, disabled childhood dog. His commitment and love for him have been unwavering, even during the most challenging times. John's deep bond with animals is evident in the way he goes above and beyond to ensure their comfort and well-being. He doesn’t just take care of pets; he builds meaningful connections with them, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and cared for. He has a strong sense of responsibility and he approaches his work with seriousness and integrity. I have full confidence that any pet in his care will receive the highest level of attention and love. As our dog nears the end of his life, it's clear how much he means to John, and it's been incredibly touching to witness his devotion. His genuine affection for animals is unmatched. He is interested in becoming a pet caregiver because he loves to spend time with animals, and I know he will bring the same level of care, compassion, and responsibility to every dog he looks after on Rover. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, John is a wonderful choice.”
