“Ellie was INCREDIBLE. This was my first Rover booking and she explained how it worked and what she could do, and she followed through. My chonker of a cat took to her so quickly and all of the photos and videos I got in his report card after each check-in made my heart burst. The care Ellie took to check on him and send me updates gave me so much peace of mind. Thank you so much again”

“Jaime is such a gift! She took great care of both my dogs during her check in with them, taking them for a walk, sending pictures and giving me an update. I appreciate her communication and quick responses. I’ll definitely rebook with her in the future!”


“Avery was punctual & very communicative, and gave me much peace of mind while being away from my kitty! She sent tons of photos and even fed my fish upon request. Thank you Avery!”

“Lynn was great! Took good care of our Millybug and didn’t try to force a relationship (Milly is very standoffish and wants to be left alone). We appreciated Lynn‘s regular updates about Milly and the house - made it easy to relax on vacation even from several thousand miles away.”
“We had a last minute scramble for an out of town trip and had just adopted our dog from the local pound. Our long standing pet sitter retired and since we hadn’t had a fur kid in a while we had no contacts for help. I wasn’t leaving him in a kennel given the situation. So, we had a friend stay the night who could take care of the majority, but needed someone to let our dog out and play a bit during the day. I found rover and jumped on to find someone. We got a message from two sitters and diplomatically just went with the first person who messaged. We did a meet and greet, Our new dog liked her, so we took a chance. We did a two visits per day schedule. We just needed someone to roughly keep our times by showing up & be kind. Everything went smooth. No worries. We even got pictures! I would hands down rebook. Prompt, worked with our schedule, dog loved her, experienced, handled our pibble and his quirks… need I say more? We have found the best! We will absolutely rebook!”


“Theresa was great watching Luke! She sent some photos and updates of him every morning with his shot. I knew my dog was in great hands with her watching him. Would definitely recommend and will be using her when we go out of town again.”

“Kathleen is great! She is extremely responsible and caring. If she can’t be there exactly on time she will let you know ahead of time. My cat loves her because Kathleen not only feeds him but also pets him when she visits. I highly recommend her!”

“This was my Husband and I’s first time using Rover and Carly was such an amazing find. From the moment we met Carly we knew our Kitty Fur Babies would be in good hands. She made sure she had their daily num num routine down along with their other personal care needs. Carly put us at ease being away from our Fur Babies Gala and Floki. We looked forward to getting our Rover Report Card everyday. It had an update with how they were doing along with pictures. She was also very quick with responding to messages. We were so beyond happy with how she took care of our Fur Babies. You will not go wrong with Carly.”

“Dee was absolutely amazing stopping over to give our guy some love and walks over the weekend. She was extremely communicative and provided lots of photos and updates each visit. Her notes were great and we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend her and will ask for her help again!”


About: I bring 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I’m an active person who loves long walks and can even keep up with high-energy dogs on runs. As a medical student, I’m attentive, responsible, and quick to notice changes in behavior or health, so your dog is always in safe, capable hands. Above all, I’m kind, dependable, and treat every dog like my own My schedule is flexible! I’m available on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays, and since I work rotating shifts, I often have full weeks off where I can offer even more daytime availability. I tailor my care to each dog’s routine and needs. For walks and drop-ins, I focus on making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention—whether that’s long walks, playtime, or even a run for higher-energy pups. For sitting, I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to behavior and comfort, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure your dog feels happy and cared for while you’re away.
“Sarah is the very best! She is caring, thorough, patient and professional. I am always confident she will handle every aspect of my puppy and kitty’s care with love and professionalism. I give her my highest recommendation.”

“Abby is very professional and does an amazing job. She takes great care of my fluffy babies. I appreciate her attention to detail and her compassion for my sweet fluffy ones.”

“Nicole was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Tucker and Ruby! They each have very different personalities, and she handled them both with such care and confidence. I felt totally comfortable knowing they were in her hands — and it was clear they were well cared for and loved. Communication was great, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. I would absolutely book with Nicole again!”

“Cassie was so amazing, she went above and beyond for my kitty. When the thermostat ran out of batteries on a hot day, she made an extra trip back to fix it and make sure my kitty would be comfortable. She is the best!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! Experienced all ages and kinds. I’m also experienced in cat care as well as kittens. I’ve raised livestock since age 10! I relish human connections, but I have a deep passion for connecting with animals. I am highly adaptable when it comes to caring for your furry companion. I have a cat who needs his own space. I live in a large house with multiple levels and rooms, and I’m more than willing to make adjustments to accommodate him. My cat takes medication daily, and I’m knowledgeable about animal behavior.

Sara is so good to Poncho, my pitbull/lab mix. She is so very attentive and “reads his room” by knowing how much he loves snuggles and lots of affection. I feel like Poncho is as safe as he is with me, when Sara is with him, and that is hard to find. Thank you Sara!!

Jadeyn was great! Super kind and had good communication. She helped us out with lunch time check in’s for the week. She took cute pictures and left thoughtful updates every day showing that she spent quality time with our dog and cat for the full 30 mins. They were happy and calm each day when we got home from work.

Elizabeth was amazing with my two cats!! Sge was on time and communicated with me daily while we were gone on a long cruise. I loved the videos she sent me all the details of what she was doing with my boys. And could see they absolutely loved her. It was the first time I ever had someone other than family watch my boys while I was gone. She made us feel very comfortable and respected our home from the initial meet and greet through the time we got home. I could tell from the videos and pictures she was sending that my boys really enjoyed her and were comfortable with her. I’m sure they miss their play and outside time with her. I highly recommend Elizabeth!

We had a fantastic experience with Chelsey! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my cat Fauna. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while away for the holidays. Fauna was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. I appreciate Chelsey’s attention, kindness, and professionalism, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.

This was our second time booking Brennan, and it was an easy yes to hire him again. My wife and I were tied up with childcare, and Brennan stepped in seamlessly. Our dog genuinely loves him, and the care, attention, and reliability were just as great as the first time. Highly recommend. We’ll be booking again
