“Amanda was excellent! She was responsive, friendly, reliable, and took great care of our dog. She sent lots of photos and updates. Would highly recommend her!!”


“Jane did a great job taking care of my cats while we were away. She dealt easily with my spicy kitty and my old kitty, 15, who is very shy, even came out to be petted. She also communicated well and the boxes and food dishes were tidy.”


“Katie is awesome and our dogs love her and even our stubborn boy is starting to warm up to her! Thanks so much for taking care of our pups on our special day!!”


“I highly recommend Lila. She did an amazing job with my three cats. She is very diligent and honest. Gustav needs a pill and she was able to give him that. Betty is very timid but she went to Lila. Lila kept me updated with texts and photos everyday. She went above and beyond. I look forward to having Lila take care of my fur babies whenever I travel!”


“Sabrina was scheduled to do drop-in visits beginning Friday evening through Sunday morning, every 12 hours. Thor requires medication for his severe heart murmur and prolapsed valve - his medication helps to keep him happy and healthy. Sabrina arrived promptly at 6:00 pm, medicated Thor, fed Matilda and Winston (Ralphie was a no-show all weekend), but the others were fed, pet, and their litter boxes cleaned. Clearly, some fun was also had with the many toy options. The cats were well-maintained, safe, and happy - this is what matters to us! Thank you Sabrina for taking such time and care with our babies - and especially for sharing their pictures.”


“Derek did a very good job with his care of Bonkers. He gave detailed information of her eating at every meal and made sure she ate a little bit each time. My only criticism was that he was supposed to give a portion of 2 types of food for each meal, but only gave the the food she doesn’t like as much. Even so, it appears she did as well as could be expected during my absence.”


About: I have been a dog owner (small. medium, large, house and sporting breeds) for 55 years and cat owner for 10 years. It is my passion to now take care of others pet needs. I am now retired and have plenty of time to help other manage the love of their pets when they are not available to do so. I cannot take care of pets in my home at this time. I rent and have 3 pets, significant other, a daughter and a grandson in the house.

About: I have taken care of dogs of every breed for over a year through volunteering at my local animal shelter. At the shelter, my position is to feed, sometimes bathe, clean kennels, and walk dogs. I also have 3 dogs of my own (a shih tzu, Australian shepherd/border collie mix, and German shepherd). I have experience raising/training puppies, as I helped my family raise our German shepherd since he was born 1.5 years ago. As for cat care, I have had cats in my family for as long as I remember and have been around cats of all ages and sizes. I am currently available anytime during the week and on some weekends, depending on the circumstances. I love animals and I spend a majority of my time around them, so I am always open to taking care of pets. I have experience with many different sizes and breeds of dogs and I do know how to easily crate your dog if the situation calls for that. I have a lot of experience dealing with anxious and/or nervous dogs.

“Absolutely amazing. My dogs usually take a few visits for them to feel comfortable but within 10 minutes Luna was kissing her and within 30 minutes General was off leash and not paying any attention. He took treats from her no problem.”


“So nice to feel confident that your pups are well taken care of, even if just for a drop in visit! This is my first Rover experience and Becca exceeded my expectations! 10/10 recommend?”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, I offer more than just basic sitting — I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each animal’s unique needs. I specialize in puppy training, including basic commands and housebreaking, as well as gentle, compassionate support for senior pets who may need medication management, mobility assistance, or extra patience. My background includes working with shy, anxious animals, helping them feel safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every pet like family, ensuring they receive the same love, structure, and attention they would at home. I work full-time during the week, but I’m passionate about pet care and am available to help on weekends. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or extended sitting, I’m happy to make weekends all about giving your pets the attention and care they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In your home, I respect your routines and house rules to help your pet feel secure and comfortable. I make sure pets are supervised, have access to fresh water, stay on their regular feeding and exercise schedules, and receive plenty of affection and playtime. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with lots of cozy resting areas and secure outdoor time (always supervised). I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, whether it’s administering medication, accommodating special diets, or simply offering extra patience and love.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. On multiple occasions I have taken care of my familys dogs, stayed over night to do so, and visited friends houses to provide care for their dogs. I have a deep love for animals. As a pet owner myself, I recognize how nerve wracking it can be to leave your animal in the hands of anothers care. It is my priority to alleviate your worries and provide the best care for your pet! I am currently in a nursing program and it is hard to make ends meet with my regular per diem job. This is the perfect opportunity for me to make some extra cash! In a way that I will enjoy as animals bring much joy to my life. It is important for us as humans to provide lots of love to animals so they know they are safe! But we all know sometimes pets like to push boundaries and I am comfortable being loving but stern when necessary.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since childhood—they’ve always been a big part of my life! As a stay-at-home mom with two sweet golden retrievers, I’d love to support families who need a little extra help with their furry loved ones. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, and I’ll care for your pup like they’re part of my own family! As a stay-at-home mom and small business owner (I make homemade dog treats for local farmers markets and craft fairs!), I have lots of availability to care for your beloved pets. I’m available most weekdays and Sundays, and I’d love to give your pup the attention and love they deserve while you’re away! I have a cozy, fenced-in yard perfect for playtime, plus two friendly pups who love making new friends! We live in a peaceful lake neighborhood that’s great for on-leash walks. I’m happy to follow your pup’s routine—whether that includes crate time, free roaming, or anything in between—to help them feel right at home.

About: Hi I grew up with all kinds of pets and then it continued into my adulthood. I love taking care ofanimals and everything about them! I’m my own boss so I can set my own hours.I’m free most mornings before 11 and most afternoons after 4 can also do overnight At a client’s home,I would follow their instructions and then give their pets some extra love ,play ,exercise, and comfort .Cant have pets at home.

About: I have had pets in my life since I was a baby. We have enjoyed a lab, standard poodle and currently a mini cocker spaniel poodle mix. I love getting outside and being active with pets. I am at home with my daughter most of the time and I enjoy doing side hustles like selling vintage clothing online and seeking out antiques. We get outside with our dog, Carl often and would love to get a chance to offer outside time and love to other pets on Rover too! I always approach pets slowly with care and love. They feel our energy big time and have so much to share with us when we give them the chance.

“Tiffany has been awesome. She is great with our puppy and he enjoys his walks with her. She makes sure he is fed and has a drink. Thank you so much for treating him as your own. We appreciate it.”



About: Dog and cat care for your furry friends! Dog grooming experience as well as introduction to puppy training! Some work I have done regarding dog care includes: two years dog and cat grooming experience, one year volunteer work at the Northeast Animal shelter, and eight plus years dog sitting and walking experience. I have a passion for caring for animals and will do so to the fullest extent. I strongly believe in sending pet owners updates and pictures daily so that they know their animals are safe and having fun! Special pet accommodations such as health conditions can easily be handled under my care. I also have experience with oral medication administration. My favorite thing to play with your dog will be fetch in an enclosed yard and long walks as they desire! I have open weekend availability for this upcoming winter ! I can do dog walks and check ins at your home during the week while you are at work ! Whatever instructions you leave me, I will follow to a T. I want to make sure your that your dog/cat is as comfortable as they can be !

“AMAZING job by James and Mallory. Sent great updates and pics! So grateful!!! Me and my cat are very happy with their service I highly recommend James and Mallory!”


“Great Sitter, she was there when i needed somone at the last min. My dog to to her instantly. Thanks a million.”


About: I have three dogs of all ages in my home. One of 9, one is 3, and one is 6 months! All dogs all ages and sizes deserve all the love and attention. The trick to dog care is knowing the signs dogs give you. All dogs go at there own speed! I currently have lots of time on my hands therefore gives me a lot of time to get to know and love some fur babies! I believe all dogs are happier when active, weather that's playing fetch or a slow pace walk. Always make sure they get the play time they need and lots of treats of course!

Michael F.
“Mike is what I call the animal whisperer. Mike gas a special connection with pets, to include our 2 cats and a dog with anxiety. We have 4 of us living in the house and each pet gravitate towards Mike every day. They love us as well, but you can see the bond Mike has with each pet. Mike has a tremendous amount of live for any animal. I have also witnessed Mike's interactions with pets being walked in front of our home, pets that don't know Mike and they to are immediately relaxed and interactive with Mike. I believe Mile would he an asset to Rover in any capacity with any type of pet.”


Jessica H.
“Jessica has been caring for our fur babies for about 5 years now. Jax our rescue dog who is an older dog with anxiety and a skin condition, and our cats Brutus and Sebastian who is diabetic. She is so wonderful with each of them, you can see how much she loves animals by seeing how much they love her. Jess stays at our home when we vacation and cares for all 3 animals including tending to their medical conditions which includes giving medications. She is an amazing, kind, responsible young lady. We highly recommend Jess and we would not have anyone else care for our pets!”

“I can’t recommend Bobbi Jo enough! She took amazing care of my dog, Gizmo, while I was away. From the start, it was clear she truly loves animals—Gizmo warmed up to her instantly, which says a lot. She kept me updated with pictures and little notes about how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone I can fully trust with my pup.”


Victoria H.
“Victoria was very professional and caring. My pets have special needs and she was very understanding about their situation. One of my dogs needs medications but does not like to take them. She followed my directions perfectly and performed all the required care they needed and some. I am so relieved and happy to finally find someone I can trust to take care of my pets.”

My Australian Shepherd Jaxy loves him and he’s very picky with who he likes. Jesse is also very reliable and will care for your pet like it’s his own.”
