Total life saver ! All the times we really needed someone reliable Dominique was there! 🥹 she’s so sweet with our animals and makes sure to ask questions to be able to provide the best care she can for the them. We were a little hesitant to try rover, but she has calmed our nerves. We really recommend her!

Megan was a great sitter. She took wonderful care of my cat. 🐈 she was always there when she was supposed to be and always sent plenty of pictures and videos. I could tell my cat was happy and being loved. 🥰 I will definitely be using Megan as my go to person and I will definitely recommend her.

Michael has been absolutely wonderful with our doggo! He has such a care and attention to her needs, and even helped out when she got into trouble and got into our pantry lol. We have a reactive dog, and he's been great with taking her for walks and managing her energy and needs safely. We can tell that she is very comfortable with him, and would recommend Micheal to anyone with a furry friend! :)

This was our first time ever hiring someone for our cats and I feel like we hit the jackpot with Allison! She visited each day we were away and did everything we asked and more. Our cats loved her, as evidenced by the pictures she sent everyday! Couldn’t be happier and will absolutely book with Allison again!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. Lots of experience in caring for dog and dog walking. I also have experience in caring for a pet after surgery and administering medication. I understand how important it is for your dog to be comfortable while you are away from home. I work full-time, but I work from home two days a week. Those days I would be available for dog walking or checking in on your pet. Could do in-home sitting, preferably on weekends, but should be able to fit weekdays schedule also. I would be caring for your pet in your home. This would make them the most comfortable being in their own house. I will try to stick to the same routines that the owner does.

Mike was communicative, adherent to our schedule, and followed all instructions requested of him. He also sent a ton of pictures, which I really appreciated. It was refreshing to just be able to enjoy my trip knowing that my dog was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend him to others (just not during the times I’m away 😉)

About: I dog sit a family member's Australian Terrier, and I have since I was 12. I've owned a cat since I was 8 and since then got another one. Animals are very special to me, I love all animals no matter what they are. I work part time and I'm full time in college, but will easily make time for your pet. Mondays and Wednesdays are college days, I am unavailable then. However, any other day I am flexible with my work schedule and we can work something out that is best for everyone, most of all your pet 🙏 I no longer live with my cats, but visit them often. I'm very gentle with my cats, and try to play with them often. My cats are older, 8 and 9, so there's not much to do but cuddle and engage in simple play.

Kimberly was great with our dog. She came at the hours she said she would, took very good care of our dog, sent us pictures and was very professional. I would highly recommend her! I have used rover before and had a bad experience. I was nervous to use the site again but I'm glad I gave it another chance.

About: New to Rover✨ I had dogs of my own when I was 11 and I absolutely adored them. I was always happy to take care of them. I have also dog sat for my family’s friend active pup from time to time. Now, I have been doing drop in visits to another family friend’s new cat 🐈‍⬛ and I loved the experience so much that I want to take it on the road!! I am currently free all day. Usually I am home or I go on an adventure walk/ bike ride and would love to bring your pup/ kitty member along :). I am flexible to suit your needs and make it easier for you and your companion. I would love to know your companion’s daily routine as well to ensure a smooth and relaxing day for them. **A meet-up prior to service is offered** I have a pretty open living space in my townhouse. My community has lots of dogs and cats so it is very pet friendly and safe! We even have an open grass area to walk/play (on a leash). I am super excited to house/drop-in/ day sit your furry/feline friend!!

About: Hi! I’m Jackie, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs, cats, and senior pets. I grew up with dogs and have always been comfortable around them, their energy, and their routines. As an adult, I’m a proud cat mom, which has given me a deep appreciation for feline personalities, boundaries, and the quieter kind of companionship. I understand that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and trusting someone with them is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and comfort needs. I work from home, which allows me to be present, responsive, and flexible with schedules. I especially enjoy providing calm, reassuring care for pets who may be shy, anxious, older, or just prefer a quieter environment. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or simply having someone nearby for comfort and companionship, my goal is always to help them feel safe, loved, and relaxed while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work part time and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to be present, responsive, and attentive to pets throughout the day. I care for pets by closely following their established routines so they feel safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, walking needs, litter or potty routines, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owner. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and attentive, making sure pets receive plenty of companionship, enrichment, and reassurance while maintaining their normal daily rhythm. I prioritize calm, positive interactions and never rush care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a quiet, low-stress environment with close supervision, lots of attention, and regular updates to owners. I’m especially mindful of safety, comfort, and cleanliness. I communicate regularly with photos and updates so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away, and I always adjust my care style based on each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs.

About: Book with me. To ensure you have the best sitter for your pup, I provide a safe, warming, calm, fun environment when booked for an overnight stay at my place. Constant walks throughout the day. Always keep about two bowls of water around the house and provide daily morning exercise routines (my morning walks/jogs). I do recommend clients/parents to provide food and treats for dogs and keep me aware of any allergies or habits the pup has. I have no problem buying treats or toys as long as it’s okay with the client/parent. This also goes for traveling to clients/parents homes. As of Doggy Day Care, I do not mind dog sitting more than 2 pup as long as they are 22lbs or less and we’ll trained. I do ask clients/parents if it’s okay to have another families dog around before booking. If not, that’s okay. I will respect your request and book another day with the parent and his/her pup. I will be having open availability after September 29th, 2019 which is my last day with my job. I am currently 21 weeks pregnant and will recommend the parents to book for Doggy Day Care Services and Overnight ONLY.

Elizabeth was very friendly and our cat was so happy we got home. Elizabeth promptly set up a meet and greet so we could review everything before we left. She asked us good questions and followed the directions left. She even snuggled a little extra with our cat. We would definitely book her again!

Nicholas was such a reliable and easygoing sitter! This was our first time using Rover and we were a little nervous to leave our cats home alone for an extended trip. Nick sent pictures daily and was a great communicator! Made us feel much more at ease so we could just enjoy our trip! Would happily book with him again in the future and highly recommend him!
