Michael was a wonderful pet sitter for our 4 dogs. He developed a great rapport with them and was super attentive to their needs. He took good notes for us and managed their schedules and took great care of our home as well! Michael stayed later than originally expected as we ran late getting back and was proactive in getting in touch with us and ensuring everyone was well taken care of!

Carly took great care of my lab mix. She was mindful of the specifics in regards to her care, and sent me updates and photos throughout her stay. My dog warmed up to her quickly and looks forward to seeing her again soon :)

Lacy saved the day for us!! We had other arrangements that fell through at the last minute and had to go back to the drawing board. We found Lacy and reached out, and on short notice she made herself available for a meet-and-greet and then agreed to sit for us while we were out of town for a wedding. We have a dog with some behavioral needs and who takes anti-anxiety medication, and Lacy was completely comfortable and able to meet his needs, plus those of our second dog and our two cats. She sent updates with photos and made us feel completely comfortable that our babies were in great hands ? Thank you so much Lacy, the crew can’t wait to hang out with you again!

Hailey was a wonderful dogsitter! She stayed at our house over a weekend and took great care of our dog. She was very responsive to texts, kept us updated with photos, and was attentive to details that I left in our notes. The house was clean when we got back and she brought in mail and packages. We had a great experience and we’ve already rebooked Hailey to watch our dog again!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have been dog sitting since high school, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m patient, reliable, and take time to understand each pet’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m comfortable caring for puppies and senior dogs, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care throughout the week. My classes are only on Tuesdays and I have one night class on Thursdays, so I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I also work part-time every other Saturday, but I still plan my schedule carefully to make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, and exercise. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy making it part of my day. 🐾 I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and that litter boxes or outdoor bathroom needs are taken care of. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away.

About: Hello! I've been an avid dog lover since I can remember. I have taken care of family and friends pups when they are away. My passion and the companions of a dog has made me want to own a dog of my own. I have my own pup of two years now and know how important it is to leave them with someone who will take great care of them, be safe and of course loved. I work remote Mon-Fri so trust me when I say I have plenty of time to play and walk your pup. They will be in great hands and company! During the weekends, I love taking my pup to an open yet dog secluded park to run, play, and train. I do have long leashes for safety, but if you are not comfortable with it- no worries at all, just please let me know. I'm also available most weekends for boarding per request. I have a pup of my own for your pups company as well! In my home I have a crate and can help with training if requested. The pups are free to roam around the apartment/furniture, and I take out to walk every two hours or so. Your pups will be in good hands, but I do request if your pup has a scheduled routine or specific needs/behaviors to please let me know so I can adjust to their needs and behaviors.

About: I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a puppy and two orange cats with varying needs, including medical care and anxiety management. I’m comfortable with medications, special routines, and recognizing individual pet personalities. My experience with an anxious cat taught me to be patient and observant while creating calm, structured environments. I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated throughout their time away. I work remotely Monday-Friday on a flexible but structured schedule (7am-4pm or 10am-6pm), which allows me to reliably fit pet care into my work day. Remote work means I can provide local visits and midday check-ins, and I’m particularly well-suited for pets with medical needs or anxiety that benefit from frequent attention and stability. I’m detail-oriented, punctual, and follow your instructions precisely. I am especially attuned to anxious pets or those with medical needs. I watch for common behavioral and health changes, communicate regularly with updates, and treat every pet like family.

We just came back from our first vacation in years and Jessica was a huge reason our trip was great. We have two dogs we care deeply for and boarding them for just a weekend was stressful… and expensive! Our older dog has incredible anxiety every time we leave. So we decided to give Rover a try and we’re very happy we did. We met with a couple of sitters before our trip and Jessica impressed us with her flexibility and professionalism so we asked her to dogsit for the three nights we were away. She was great with our dogs and cared for them the way we wanted. In addition, she sent us pictures and texts with updates on the dogs. She made a great impression and completely sold us on Rover. I now feel confident that we can take more relaxing vacations knowing how well she took care of our dogs! I couldn’t have asked for more.

Colleen was wonderful! I booked her last minute to stay for two nights. She sent pics so that I felt comfortable leaving my two dogs. I came home and they were happy and well taken care of. She even allowed the two to sleep in bed with her! She was great and I will definitely use her in the future.
