“Caralisa took such great care of our kitty, we are definitely booking her again!!! Thank you for going the extra mile and giving us peace of mind while away on vacation🤍”
“Trinity was great and watched our dog over the holidays. We got daily photo updates and it was great to know he was in good hands. She was a great communicating prior to watching him and organizing a meet and greet with our dog a few days after we first communicated.”
About: Grew up taking care of cats and the neighbors dogs! I have lots of experience caring for and looking after pets as well as caring for foster animals! I am currently working full-time as a professional ballet dancer, however, my schedule is flexible so I am able to work pet care into my schedule as little or as much as needed! The cats I grew up with are always well fed and played with/ given as much or as little attention as they desire. The dogs I’ve worked with are given frequent walks/ time outside and lots of TLC!
“Alivia sat for Sage over the Christmas holidays while we were out of town and was fantastic. She kept us updated and took great care him. We always feel a little wary leaving him but it makes it a lot easier having someone like Alivia to take care of him. I wholeheartedly recommend her to look after your pets!”
“Emily did a wonderful job taking care of our cat & home. She sent me pics of our fur ball everyday. She also answered my messages right away. My home was left in pristine condition, and our cat was happy and silly like she always is. Emily did what was asked, she met my expectations and way more.”
“We had an excellent experience with Jade. Responded quickly and was very easy going. Our animals adored her and she kept our house orderly. Will definitely use again in the future.”
“Ada was so good with my pup! She stayed overnight and sent picture updates while I was gone. She also left my place looking immaculate. Fantastic sitter - will definitely rebook!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life dogs, cats, lizards, even goats! I’ve trained my dogs since they were puppies and have lots of experience with large breeds and senior pets. I’ve also been around cats for as long as I can remember and understand their different needs. Whether it’s energetic pups, shy cats, or unique pets like reptiles, I treat every animal with love, patience, and the same care I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because it’s something I truly love doing. I have a car for reliable transportation and flexibility, and caring for animals is my main focus. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety will always come first with me I’m here to give them the best care possible, just like I would for my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their normal routines, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they always feel at ease whether that means belly rubs, playtime, or just quiet company. Every animal is different, so I adjust to their needs and give them the same care and love I’d give my own pets.
“Kendra got our anxious dog out to do her business and gave her lots of love. All was well--clean house, clean cat boxes--when we returned. And she brought in an unexpected item the neighbors dropped off on short notice. Much appreciated!”
“Joshua was punctual and responsive to the needs of my dog, who is reactive. He asks good questions about overnight care and keeps me posted. Looking forward to working with him again!”
“Ariana did an amazing job caring for Phoebe while I was away. This was my second time having Ariana help out with Phoebe. Great communication and attentiveness. We truly appreciate all of your help.”
“Brandy is wonderful. She took great care of our energetic, ornery goldendoodle. When we got home we found a tidy house and a well cared for pup. Brandy helped we new puppy parents feel comfortable leaving our puppy which we have only done a handful of times since bringing him into our family. Brandy is Séamus’ new best friend. Thank you Rover.com and Brandy - you get an A plus from us!!!”
“Sydney was AMAZING!!! She took care of our dog so well and accommodated all her needs. She took her on lots of walks and was super respectful about staying in our apartment. Would definitely rebook with her! :)”
“I'm a pet sitter myself so I can tell when someone cares about pets and takes good care of them. Amy was amazing with our babies. She always stayed in communication, sent many pictures, and made sure our babies had all their medications and food on time. She's a very sweet person and I will definitely be choosing her again in the future.”
About: I have been around dogs all my life and have had experience with all kinds of dogs from rottweiler's to chihuahua's and puppies to seniors. I took a small hiatus on pet sitting but had been pet sitting for about 6 years prior and have had experience as a volunteer dog walker at animal shelters and have been fear free certified. I am very patient and gentle, and a firm believer in positive reinforcement. I love all breeds of dogs, and know like people it's the inside that counts not how they look. I am able to stay at your house or just do check in visits. I have also grown up and worked with other animals such as cats, ferrets, reptiles, and fish and can help you with any of your exotic pets as well. If you are booking for house sitting please book a week in advance as I have my own pets I need to make accommodations for. I work full time at an animal shelter and have gained some knowledge of giving medications and have had personal pets who needed medication such as pills or ointment. With my dog we like to go to small quiet dog parks and do nature walks on my days off. On work days we like to cuddle on the couch and watch shows or movies especially on cold days.
“She was really great with our puppy. He did not want her to leave because he was having so much fun. She really takes the job professionally and even had a plan for our dog and gave him some really good one on one training. We would highly recommend Kelsie.”
“Dani is amaaaaaazing. I have a super shy cat who I knew would most likely hide the whole time and a couple birds who live in my office/a separate room… and she was super flexible and helpful when I realized my cat might need more space and time to eat since she hides when new people are around without me there. Super kind, professional and a good person all around. In the middle of a move and even with boxes/my home in the stages of moving, Dani made everything so simple and seamless while I was gone. I so appreciate her and highly recommend this fabulous fur (& feathered) family professional!”
“Sydnee was an absolute shining star of a sitter. She took fantastic care of my big boy Clyde (130 lbs, Great Pyr), and was very prompt and responsive to all messages. My house was well taken care of as well. I really appreciate how detailed her messages were and how her updates included lots of pictures from different points of the day. I really felt that she took it to heart to stay close to Clyde and give him the companionship and support he needed. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of dog/house sitting, and especially those who need a person who can handle a big breed.”

Adam was great! He won our pups over immediately and we came home to well cared for dogs and a clean space. He was communicative, professional, and sent updates as he said he would. The pictures and videos he shared really showed how the dogs took to him and we looked forward to recieving them. We will rebook with Adam!
If you have a large dog who is reactive on walks, Jade is the sitter for you! This was my first time using Jade to housesit while I was away and the worst case scenario happened, two off leash dogs rushed my reactive dog while on a walk. Jade handled it like a pro and reported everything to me after. She kept calm and handled my dog like an expert which lead to nothing bad happening. Thank you, Jade, for keeping my dog and the other dogs safe!
Ellie took on our overly specific routines for 3 different pets with the utmost care and attentiveness. She is quick to respond and was very comprehensive when helping me and my fiance understand the nuances of Rover as this was our experience using this service. It was clear that she was compassionate with our pets - they all warmed up to her very fast. When we returned, one of my cats even seemed surprised as if he was expecting Ellie to return. My fiance and I will be leaving on a longer trip in a month and we are fully confident that Ellie will do another superb job, allowing us to enjoy our trip without any worries.
We could not have asked for a better person to look after our two dogs. Prior to our departure, one of our senior dogs had been struggling with some health issues and took a turn for the worse while we were out of town. Sarah went above and beyond to make sure our dog received the best care and made multiple trips to our vet to ensure she was comfortable. We were so thankful that Sarah was the one to be there to look after both dogs in that unfortunate situation. Aside from the pre-existing health issues that Sarah navigated beautifully, everything else throughout each day was perfect for both dogs (and provided peace of mind to us). The dogs clearly had wonderful days with her via walks, laying outside in the backyard and plenty of snugs that we were able to see when Sarah sent us her daily "pupdates" with pictures and details of the day's activities. Thank you so much, Sarah!
Madison did a great job! She spent a lot of time with our dogs, making sure they stayed on their routine. She communicated with us whenever she had questions and also sent random updates to let us know how the dogs were doing, which we really appreciated. We will definitely be looking to book with her again! 🐾
Charlene took great care of our dog and our home while we were away. Seemed like a fair price for excellent service. Her prep interview before our vacation was thorough and put us at ease that our dog would be in good hands. Got plenty of pics and updates while we were away. Thanks Charlene!
Alyssa and Eve were fantastic to work with. Our pups had the best time with them. We received frequent updates throughout their stay. We so appreciated the special care they took for our guy Dublin. He had an ear issue and had bunch of different medications to take. They ensured he received everything he needed and kept us updated on how he was doing. Lily our other pup gained two new friends and she was overjoyed. The house was all in order and we truly appreciated that when we arrived home after a long trip. We look forward to have them sit for us again. Thank you so much!!
Ellisa took such great care of our senior dog in our home while we took a ten day vacation out of state. She went above and beyond in looking out for our old girl, our fish pond and our home while we were away. We definitely will request her services in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, efficient and trustworthy pet care giver. Thanks so much Ellisa, you’re awesome!
Brandee is the best! So we had been planning a longer trip away from our dog Toast and started working with Brandee to get her and Toast comfortable together. She took the time to get to know our unique dog and built up a lot of trust. The trip went off without any issues and Brandee sent us updates along the way! It was so reassuring knowing that Brandee had our boy safe, happy, and well cared for. We couldn’t recommend Brandee enough if you need someone to walk or watch your furry friend! Thank you again Brandee!!
If you’re lucky enough to get Chandlor you will not be disappointed. His care for my dog and cat was excellent because he treated my pets like they were his own. He ensured consistent, regular, and personalized care. I think this was the first trip that I didn’t worry about my pets. I honestly couldn’t be happier.
