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.

Allison was truly amazing, I would give 6 stars if possible. She spent so much extra time hanging out with our cats. She went above and beyond anything we could have asked for. It is a relief knowing that Allison is here whenever we need a pet sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their pets.

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! :)

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.

About: Always happy to send updates so you know your pup is doing great. I respect your pet routine. Every visit and walk will be treated with patience, safety and lots of attention. My work schedule allows me time for weekday evening walks between 6 PM and 8 PM, perfect for after-work potty breaks or relaxing evening strolls. I'm available on weekends from 8 AM to 5 PM. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your dog is comfortable and happy. I’m especially gentle and patient with puppies and senior dogs. Your dog will be in good hands.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of 5 family dogs from puppyhood to later stages of life as well as dog sat for family friends and other family members. I currently work full time but I get home around 3pm most days. I normally get home and take my puppy Robin on a two mile walk and run. I care for Robin with a fenced in small yard and using the crate for when me and my fiancée are out. I would take care of your dog in whichever way you need.

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: I provide more than just pet care—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need extra playtime and training, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentle handling, medication management, and a slower pace. I pay close attention to detail, communicate frequently with pet parents, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I work full time, but I work from home. I am available on most days and can be there for lunch routines. I am available during my lunch breaks for dog walks. I have one mini bernedoodle, who is the most friendly dog in the world. I can take care of dogs in my house, and am available for walks on my lunch.

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.
