“Emiliano was our first male to sit for our 1yo puppy. He was extremely gentle and caring and agreed to meet with us and our pup before his stay. He went out of his way to make sure our home looked even better than we left it, with a happy dog to come home to also.”

“Katrina did a wonderful job taking care of my 3 cats. She was very attentive to each of my cats’ needs and put great effort into playing, talking and feeding them. She gave updates with photos, videos, and messages and was always very responsive. We definitely recommend her and will book her again in the future.”

“Anna was great caring for my Benny. He takes time trusting people, but somehow Anna managed to get him to trust her. We received photos daily and he seemed so very happy.”


About: I've loved dogs since I was a kid! My first dog was a Chow Chow when I was five years old, and I adored him until the day he passed. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes with much joy to me. Friends and family often count on me to walk, feed, and spend time with their pets, and I genuinely love every second of it. I treat every pet with patience, affection, and the same care I’d want for my own. I am currently working part time as a Behavioral Aide for toddlers on the autism spectrum. Afternoon and evenings are open for me and I am avaliable for dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits during this slot. I will offer the best possible care for your pet during our walks and/or visits. I do not offer boarding in my home as my arrangements do not allow it but I am open to house sitting and providing your dog and feline friends what they need according to what you know is best for them!
“Alia stepped in to help watch Gizmo when my regular sitter was unavailable. Im always nervous when I have to book someone new but Alia made all of those worries disappear. Alia was available for an in person meet and greet and sent lots of pictures and updates while I was out on my trip. I didn’t worry one bit because of how proactive she was. I will def book with Alia if a similar scheduling issue comes up again.”

About: Hi friend, I'm Sophia, and my partner and I would love to walk and care for your dog! You can trust that your furry friend will be in compassionate and experienced hands with me. I've been caring for dogs and other pets since I was little, and I take pride in the trust and love that I've built with each animal. My experience spans walking, daycare, boarding, and more for both family and friends' dogs. I even fostered a sweet dog with anxiety for a year, ensuring they felt safe and loved. I've raised my dogs from young puppies through their senior years, and those who have crossed the bridge lived well into their late senior years, thanks to dedicated care. I have extensive experience with all ages and sizes of dogs, from house training energetic puppies to providing special care for incontinent seniors (ranging from 5 lbs to 125 lbs). Administering medications is also within my scope of care, ensuring your dog's health needs are met reliably. My friendly dog, a doodle, loves making new doggy friends and having playdates. I maintain a clean home with a fenced backyard because the well-being and safety of every dog I care for are my top priorities. You can trust me to provide a nurturing and secure environment for your beloved pet, always treating them with the utmost love and respect. I'm a full-time, pet-loving sitter you can trust completely. I am dedicated to providing exceptional care and will have plenty of time to play with and nurture your pups. I am available 24/7 for boarding, daycare, and walking, ensuring your dog receives the attention and love they deserve at all times. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in safe, caring hands with me. I have a fully fenced yard, providing a safe and secure environment for your furry pup. My friendly Golden Doodle will be a great companion, ensuring your dog has company and fun. You can trust me to take care of your pup 24/7, offering attentive and loving care whenever it's needed.

“Vanessa was very gentle and kind with my dogs and they trusted her right away! She sent so many pictures while we were away and puppies looked relaxed and happy to be around her😍 I will definitely rebook ☺️!”

“We had such a great experience with our sitter Sarah! She has such a warm, charismatic presence that immediately put us at ease. Our puppy is usually very shy and slow to warm up to new people, but she was incredibly attentive and patient with him. Because of that, he quickly began to trust her. We really appreciated the care and effort she put into making him feel comfortable and safe. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would happily book with her again!”

“Amazing pet sitter, my cats loved them. Respectful towards space, I came back home and my furry family was not anxious and looked very happy. Video calls ones a day during drop ins definitely helped my animals to feel better. Appreciate the help with my kitties.”

“We are so happy we found Yvonne, what a great fur baby sitter! Sent tons of photos, very responsive when I reached out, and did not hesitate to askquestions if she felt unsure about something. We will for sure be booking her again if she’s available.”


About: I've taken care of small to medium sized dogs since I was 12 and love them so dearly! I'd love to taken care of your furry loved one! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available every night, during the weekdays and weekends. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and clean environment where pets receive attentive care, regular supervision, affection, exercise, comfort, enrichment, ensuring they feel secure, happy, and well cared for every day!
“Seng is absolutely amazing! My cats love her. She spends quality time with them, pays extra attention to the cat sitting notes, and my cats are always so happy and calm when I come home. I never worry about leaving my cats at home while I go on vacation when I know that Seng is cat sitting.”

“Luna was great — very responsive and timely, which made everything seamless. Really easy to coordinate with and just overall a great experience. Would definitely book again!”

“Clive was AMAZING with our dog. Fuzzy is a fussy, needy mini poodle who hasn’t been left behind often, and on those occasions with someone he already knew. So this was a big first for Fuzzy and for us, and Clive made it flawless! He was patient and understanding with changes in plans, he made significant effort to get to know Fuzzy before we left, and he had a very instinctual, natural rapport with him from the start. Clive stayed with Fuzzy in our home, and from all the photos Clive sent us we could see that Fuzzy was not only comfortable, but having a wonderful time! It is such a relief for us to find such a caring, reliable and trustworthy sitter for the “baby” in our family. He is now called Uncle Clive in our home, and we look forward to having him take care of Fuzzy again in the future.”

“Danielle was great with my anxious pup! She made herself available at the last minute after another sitter cancelled, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Adare with her for the day. We'd have her back in a heartbeat.”
“Brianna was a wonderful pup and house sitter this weekend. With frequent updates and pics I was able to enjoy a peaceful and fun weekend away. It was so nice to return to a happy pup and home. I look forward to the next time Brianna sits for us.”

“Perry was wonderful again with our dog, Roan, today! He sent tons of pictures throughout the day, got Roan out on several walks and clearly cares a ton about the happiness and comfort of the pups he is caring for. Can't wait to have Perry back again soon and would recommend him to anyone in need of care for their pups! He is terrific!”

About: Hi there! Thanks for visiting my profile! I practically grew up in a zoo - lizards, birds, dogs, frogs, cats, you name it, my family fostered an animal loving environment. Friends and family say I’m the “go to” and “hands on” gal when it comes to any pet related questions. My experience ranges from young to senior animals, I believe every step of a pet’s life requires love and attention. I also have over 5 years of volunteer experience at my local humane society. :) So excited to meet you and your furry family members! WHY IM ON ROVER: Not only do I love animals, I love connecting with my community and getting outdoors. AVAILABILITY: I work 8am-5pm but I am also fairly flexible and can make something work if given enough notice :) Saturday-Sunday: open availability unless noted otherwise! Drop-ins and walks are my main focus but can make overnight stay exceptions for repeat clients! I prefer to watch pets in my client’s home and have many years of experience as a trusted nanny, pet sitter and house sitter (and can provide references upon request!)
“Mystyc was great with Jax! She was so friendly and they seemed to get along right away. She made me feel at ease with her experience with senior dogs and the care Jax needed. She sent me photos throughout the day and kept me up to date with everything.”

“Lorenzo did a great job of spending time with the dogs and taking care of the house. He left a charging cord at the house, and when he came by to pick up the cord, I could tell by the reaction of the dogs that they had a great time with Lorenzo and that they missed him. Hopefully Lorenzo will be available to watch Bella and Marlie in the future.”

Sarah was absolutely wonderful with Wiz and Daisy! We had never left our dogs with anyone and she made us feel completely at ease. The updates and photos throughout their stay gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.We could tell our dogs were comfortable with her from the first time they met her. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave our pups and would happily book with her again. Highly recommend!

We cannot thank Katrina enough for taking such good care of our two dogs. We hired Katrina for pet/house sitting. As any pet parent knows, it is stressful to leave your fur babies behind while on vacation but Katrina eased that stress by sending daily updates, complete with photos to let us know how our dogs were doing. She took them on long walks and sent photos while on the walks. (The dogs looked very happy.) She also took good care of the house. We will definitely reach out to her again and highly recommend her.

Linda was awesome! Super communicative, timely, and kind to my overly nervous dog. She took the time to come out for a meet and greet before the sitting period so my dog could get accustomed to her, which was extremely appreciated. She sent lots of pictures even though I was only away for two nights which I loved!! She also left my house extremely clean and left my dog happy. Will definitely book again in the future if I ever need to go away again!

Lisa has taken care of our little senior pup, Queenie, several times and we always trust her to do a great job. She asks questions upon arrival and sends updates and cute photos! We trust Lisa and find her wonderful to work with. I would absolutely recommend her!

Lana was so invested and excited to take care of our cute boys! We were so lucky to have found someone who enjoyed playing and cuddling with our kitties as much as we do. She also sent really helpful updates about her visits with them and adorable pictures of them - which we loved! :)

Emiliano was our first male to sit for our 1yo puppy. He was extremely gentle and caring and agreed to meet with us and our pup before his stay. He went out of his way to make sure our home looked even better than we left it, with a happy dog to come home to also.

Jess is an absolute gem of a sitter. She stayed with our two dogs for several days while we were out of town, took amazing care of them, and sent us lots of pictures. I *know* she took amazing care of them because in the photos, the dogs were being their normal and lovely selves. Plus, when we got home, they were well-rested and happy, and our little guy watched the street for a long time after Jess left. ("Where did my friend go?" was the caption under his cute face.) I will 100% hire her again and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing caretaker for their pets.
