“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!”

“Lucy was so sweet with our cat! It was wonderful knowing she was checking in on her every day while we were out of town. We hope to book Lucy for cat-sitting again in the future!”

“Laura is fantastic! My shy cats loved her immediately, cats and house were in great shape when I came home. Great communication, took wonderful photos too! Highly recommend”

“Misha was very reliable, friendly, accommodated the special needs of my cats and myself, and was a great pet sitter!! I will definitely ask him to sit again!!!”

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.
“Luciana was responsible and professional she showed up on time and came prepared to take care of our fur babies. She sent updates and was very helpful and reassuring with our nervousness about hiring our first cat sitter. We would definitely hire her again!”

About: Me and pets…we just get each other, you know? I’ve been taking care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, geckos, and more since I was a child. (Before I go on, both of my cats are currently staying with my parents — so I have plenty of room for your pet!) I’m close to my sister, and her senior pug, Lola, and new puppy, Ruby, are my sweet nieces — I’ve cared for them like they’re my own many times over the years. (I can’t wait to get my own dog someday!) I also love to foster all kinds of animals, from puppies to new cat moms and their 8 tiny kittens. In fact, I adopted my second cat, Dusty, after fostering and falling in love with her from APA three years ago. I adopted my senior cat, Minerva, almost 14 years ago from a Brooklyn shelter. I’m a freelance writer and editor who works from home and loves to be outside, which is why Rover is perfect for me. Whether I’m taking your pup on a long walk (my favorite thing in the world) or cuddling up with your kitty at home, I’m excited to meet your furry best friend! I’m a freelance writer who works from home and sets my own schedule. I also don’t currently have pets in my home. So I have a lot of flexibility to visit your home, take your pet on walks, or host them in my home! My home is currently pet free and safe and ready to welcome your pet. They can even sleep in the bed if they feel like cuddling!
“Nohemy is great! He’s reliable, attentive, and cared about making sure everything was done right. Our boys were happy and well taken care of, which gave us real peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Nohemy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter.”

About: Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or a drop-in visit while you’re away, I treat every pet like family. With experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, I understand how important it is to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable. During walks, I make sure your dog gets the exercise and mental stimulation they need, and on drop-in visits, I’m happy to provide potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles — all tailored to your pet’s routine. You’ll always receive updates, photos, and peace of mind. Let me know how I can support you and your furry friend! I have a hybrid and flexible work schedule that allows me to meet the needs of your dog. Happy to support you and your pup in any way I can! I treat your home with the same respect and care as I do your pet. I ensure doors are locked, food and water areas are clean, and any messes (like accidents or spills) are taken care of. I’m happy to water plants, bring in packages, or follow any special instructions you leave.
“Abigail did great– really great. We have a special needs cat, and when we returned, he was doing really well. The instructions we left were all followed perfectly, everything was clean, and she kept in touch with us leaving great notes and taking pictures. Couldn't recommend more highly. We're gonna try and use her again.”

“Jazzsminn is both friendly and professional. She provided great care of Annie and sent updates and photos every visit. I recommend her without reservation!”

About: Since 2011, I've been earning the trust of pets one belly rub at a time! 🐶🐱 Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all personalities. From shy kitties to high-energy pups and everything in between. I treat each animal with love, patience and attention. My goal is simple: Keep your pets happy, your home safe, and your mind at ease. As a cat-dad I spend a lot of my day with furry friends! Currently only doing Rover as I pursue creative endeavors, instead of getting caught up in the corporate grind. I'd rather be spending my times with cats & dogs than in a meeting room! I spend lots of time with animals when I take care of them. I always offer scritches and belly rubs when I can, and I like to take my time when walking or caring for animals. I always focus on what the animal needs!

I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously.

“Danielle did an amazing job. She was very reliable and communicated with me throughout the whole stay. She came in and helped out when we needed a sitter last minute with no complaint. I highly recommend her as your sitter.”


About: I dream of one day owning my own pet hotel, complete with boarding, daycare, and spa services. Until then, nothing makes me happier than caring for your fur babies and treating them like family. I’ve spent time researching dog and cat body language, and I’m confident reading common cues like tail, ear, and overall body posture so I can respond to what your pet is communicating and help them feel safe and understood. I also know that pets need different levels of care at different stages of life, and I’m familiar with general warning signs to watch for in both cats and dogs. I’m a trusted go-to sitter for friends. I’m also comfortable with special care needs, including administering insulin to dogs when needed.
Southeast pet parents share their Rover experiences
Adriana took exceptional care of Max and Olive, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. From the very beginning, she made sure to understand their routines, personalities, and needs. She even dropped off the cutest little happy for each is them. A printed out picture she had taken along with dog treats. Throughout the stay, Adriana provided regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Max and Olive looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. It was obvious they were getting plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I came home to two very happy pets and a home that was just as I left it. Adriana went above and beyond, and I would absolutely trust her again and will be rebooking her for dates in March and June and recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.

Melissa was amazing with our dog, Bates! She took great care of him, made sure he was comfortable and happy, and sent plenty of thoughtful updates that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear he was in great hands the whole time. We’d absolutely book with Melissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive for their pet.

Kailey was absolutely amazing, especially with how flexible she was around my schedule. She was always punctual and kept me updated with detailed messages and photos during each drop-in. Seeing the huge smile on my little guy’s face in the pictures meant everything to me. I will definitely be rebooking with her!
