“First time using rover and Parker was awesome. So responsive and very flexible with our last minute booking need! He made sure to keep us updated and made us feel secure with our pup being with someone new. Highly recommend him and will be looking forward to future visits!”


“I had a wonderful experience with Sarah. She is kind, professional, and took amazing care of my dog, Basha, Storm and Fergie. I appreciated the regular updates and photos — it gave me peace of mind while I was away. Basha, Storm and Fergie seemed so happy and comfortable in her care. I could tell they treated my pups like family. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”


“Mara was perfect. She was great with communication, really got along well with my cat Cook, and took care of everything. Very professional, great with pets, and I would highly recommend her!”


“James did a great job taking care of my cat Misha while I was out of town! She is normally very shy, but after only a few days she had already warmed up to him. Would definitely recommend his services if you're in need of a drop-in cat sitter!”

About: Caring for animals has been part of my life since I was a kid, from checking in on a neighbor’s pet to hosting overnight stays. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments—senior pets are especially dear to me—understanding the extra care and attention they often need. From gentle routines to specialized care, I’m experienced in making sure older pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. No matter your pet’s age or needs, I provide a calm, caring environment where they’ll feel right at home. I currently have a flexible hybrid schedule, which means plenty of time to care for your pups! Whether they need overnight boarding or just some extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I’m available for overnight stays starting at 4 PM—happy to provide a cozy, caring environment while you’re away! Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities! My apartment complex features a spacious, well-maintained dog park with a wonderful community of dogs and pet parents—perfect for social pups who love to play. But if your furry friend prefers a quieter experience, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m comfortable providing specialized care, whether that means crating, reinforcing training routines, managing special diets, or administering medications. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I have extensive experience caring for them. Plus, living on the first floor means easy access with no stairs—gentler on aging joints.

“Sarah was AMAZING and I cannot recommend her enough. We have used Rover sitters many times and Sarah really stands out. She was an above an beyond sitter for our kitty. She sent incredible pictures and updates and made this anxious pet owner feel so much better. She put my mind at ease so I was able to enjoy my time away. We will definitely be using Sarah again in the future!”



“Abigail is very prompt, thorough, and responsive in her communication. She took great care of my two dogs, making sure they were fed and giving them needed outdoors breaks. I highly recommend Abigail.”


“Lexi was great! Our plans for cat sitting changed last minute and she was able to stop by same-day to meet our cats and receive all of the necessary info just before our trip! She was super communicative and did everything exactly as requested. We will definitely be reaching out when we expect to travel again!”


“Shaina was great! She did the job and was happy with the service. My only feedback would be to get details of what was done for each visit. What did you'll do? What did my dog do each visit, like "eat dinner, we played, he ate grass and had to stop him. He was a good boy". Did he bond with you? These simple things makes a good sitter an even better sitter. Overall, I'm satisfied knowing she took care of him while I was away. I'd recommend her!”


About: I grew up with a mini dachshund that we absolutely adored for 11 wonderful years. During COVID, I decided it was time to bring a dog of my own into my life—my Australian Shepherd, Rizo, who’s now 5 years old and still full of energy! We recently added a playful 10-month-old pitbull to the family, and life has been extra lively ever since. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I’ve taught basic skills like sit, down, and stay, and I approach every pup with patience, structure, and lots of love. I truly enjoy getting to know different dog personalities and making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you're away. I am in between jobs right now with an open and flexible schedule. I am available 7 days a week from 8 am - 10 pm. In your home, I do my best to maintain your pet’s usual routine—feeding, walking, playtime, and cuddles—so they feel safe and secure while you're away. I always respect your space and follow any instructions you leave, from crate training to medication schedules.


“Amanda took care of Rory while I was out of the country and she was excellent! She asked good questions during our meet and great, reassuring me that she wanted to take the best care of Rory. His stomach was upset because I recently switched his dog food, but Amanda was very understanding and extra attentive. She went above and beyond while watching him and I will definitely reach out to Amanda again!”


“Micaela did a great job caring for our cats when we went out of town! She’s very quick to respond and sends a lot of pictures! 10/10 would recommend and planning to rebook in the future!”


About: I believe in treating pets with agency and kindness, respecting their boundaries, and understanding their unique personalities. I like to adhere to strict rules from the pet owner to ensure proper care. I like to over communicate - I’m flexible and adapt easily to you and your pet. I work from home Monday through Friday. 9-5pm. My schedule is flexible. I am available for weekend requests and overnight stays. I can also do early mornings and late nights if we can coordinate in advance. I make sure the pet has everything they need to be comfortable (water, food if free feeding, washed animal bed that I keep in my home). I ensure my apartment is clean so the pet can roam freely. When working from home, I take frequent breaks to give the pet attention and affection (if they allow).

Southeast pet parents share their Rover experiences
Katherine was a fantastic cat sitter! She sent the best updates and I could truly tell how loved and cared for our cat was. I would recommend her in a heart beat to anyone looking for someone who can really connect with your pet. We will absolutely be hoping to use her in the future!!

Lexi was great! Our plans for cat sitting changed last minute and she was able to stop by same-day to meet our cats and receive all of the necessary info just before our trip! She was super communicative and did everything exactly as requested. We will definitely be reaching out when we expect to travel again!

I can't recommend Margaret highly enough! She took absolutely wonderful care of our cats while we were out of town; she made sure they were happy, well-fed, and comfortable. Her communication was excellent throughout our trip; we received regular updates and photos that really gave us peace of mind. Margaret also went above and beyond by helping out with our fish tank, which was very much appreciated. She's professional, reliable, and clearly has a natural rapport with animals. Our pets felt safe and cared for in her presence. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, Margaret is the one. We’ll definitely booking with her again in the future if she's available!

Sarah is the absolute best. She has always been so great with different scenarios, I found a dog the day before I was going out of town. She took great care of her and my cats while I was away. I always book with her and have such peace of mind while I’m away.

Lauren was amazing! It was our first time using the Rover app, and she helped us navigate the whole process. She made us feel like we were leaving our babies with a friend. Lauren sent daily updates and checkin photos so while we were away we could see them too. I highly recommend Lauren C and will definitely use her again in the future.

Taylor was incredible! I had a last-minute need for drop-in visits, and she responded right away and made time to meet me and Rudy before we left town. She followed the schedule perfectly and kept me updated with pictures and messages during every visit. Her warm and positive personality made me feel even more confident leaving Rudy in her care. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my pup, and I’ll absolutely be booking with her again in the future!

Luciana did such an amazing job with cat! I was nervous leaving him for the first time with a sitter but ended up relaxing/enjoying the whole trip because Luciana did such a great job. She’s a great communicator and cares about your pet too! Will be booking her again!
