Rachel was the perfect fit for my cat Ruthie! She connected right away with her. I love the report card details of observations Rachel made as well as the photos or Ruthie I received from her while I was away. I would highly recommend Rachel and Rover in general. What a wonderful service they provide with wonderful caregivers!

Ron took great care of our dogs over a five day period during a busy holiday season. His drop-in visits occurred in the schedule we had requested, and he managed the daily walks we had asked for in addition to the regular feeding, watering, and backyard visits. With all the real-time notices of his visits, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip. Great experience!

About: I’ve been the resident cat and dog sitter since I was a teen in my family and friend group. I have worked with dogs big and small, and cats of many temperaments. I have been an overnight sitter for both animals, and have experience walking, playing, following routines, and making the pets feel comfortable and loved. I have followed medication routines and given medications for both cats and dogs as well when needed, and am comfortable doing so. I am currently working part time while going to grad school, so I am back and forth from the house and able to check on any pets throughout the day. My home has plenty of space for another cat to hang out. In my home, I try to make the environment as comfortable for other pets as possible and make sure they feel safe and secure as they would in their own home. As for visiting pets at their homes, I enjoy knowing their habits and preferences, so I can cater to their needs as closely to their normal lifestyle as I can. Simply put, I want pets to feel at home and safe regardless of their location, and do my best to love them and their needs whatever they may be.

About: We have had pets all of our life. From dogs to cats, bunnies, hamsters, and mice! We love going on walks, playing in the house or snuggling up on the couch. Special diets are no problem. I have taken care of geriatric pets and tummy sensitive pets before. I work 3 days a week. Katie is home all the time and is able to tend to your baby all day so your fur baby won't be lonely! We have a fenced in back yard and a cozy living room with plenty of dog beds to go around. I live right by a park with a walking trail for potty breaks. We do have 4 dogs and 3 cats of our own that are very friendly and love to play.

We had Vanessa watch our two young cats over Thanksgiving week. Vanessa was great with them and with us - attentive to their needs and very responsive to us. Our favorite was the pictures she shared in the after-visit reports, and our cats’ favorite was seeing their new buddy. Vanessa was very respectful, professional, and kind. Would definitely ask Vanessa to come back in the future!

Shannon is fantastic! She takes such great care of my cat, Mickey. She goes above and beyond her duties as a pet sitter, from leaving pet waste bags behind for me to try to giving me recommendations for places to visit on a recent vacation. She is the greatest!

Amber did a great job taking care of our elderly cat. She sent us daily pictures which gave us such peace of mind to see she was doing well with a new caregiver. Our kitty has special medical needs which Amber handled expertly by giving shots and coming the same time everyday. We would definitely have Amber take care of our kitty again and recommend her highly.

This was our first time ever hiring a pet sitter so we didn’t quite know what to expect. We picked Lindsay based on her profile and reviews and we liked that she lived really close. We met her and immediately knew that she would be great with our two cats and dog. They all immediately took to her as well which was a great sign! We only did a two day one night trip but we will definitely look forward to having Lindsay watch our pets again! She communicated how they were doing and sent lots of great pictures. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pets while we were able to go on a quick trip. Looking forward to longer trips in the future and I’ll know that our pets are in great hands!

About: My husband, Noah, and I love animals of all shapes and sizes. We work together to give your pet the attention, care, and love that they deserve. We are avid walkers and love to play, so we can’t wait to walk and play with your pet. My goal is a happy, healthy, and safe pet all while having fun and spending quality time together. We are happy to take dogs for hikes and extra long walks. Just send me a message! I work Monday through Friday from 8am until 4pm. I am available for drop ins and walks before and after work and anytime on weekends. My husband Noah has a more flexible schedule. I take care of client’s home as if it were my home. It is important for me to feel at home and safe, so that in turn the dog(s) feel more at home and safe with me.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and had a mini dachshund for 15 years. Over the last decade I've been called on numerous times to watch and board dogs for friends, family and neighbors. I am a single dad who has custody of my kids 50/50 so when I don't have them I could give a dog my full attention and be its buddy! On weekends we could hit a trail or go for a long walk at a park. Monday through Friday I usually leave for work around 6:45 or 7, and will return home around 4 pm. And in the evening we'll hang out and have fun! I live within walking distances to a few parks for walks. The Trolley Trail is nearby too if your pet likes a bit of a longer walk.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, but what really sets me apart is hands-on experience actually raising and training one myself. I grew up training my German Shepherd from a young age, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand dog behavior, not just watch them. As a student athlete, I’m very active, so I naturally bring a lot of energy to walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, some need structure and training, while others need calm, gentle care, especially seniors. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, handling larger or high-energy breeds, and making sure pets feel safe and understood while their owners are away. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and building trust. As a college student athlete, I keep a very structured schedule, which actually makes me reliable and consistent when it comes to pet care. I plan my days around responsibilities, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given attention on time. I also work part-time at a golf course, but I’m looking to spend more of my free time doing something I enjoy, being around dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it gives me a break from school and sports while still staying active. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening care, I’m used to balancing multiple commitments and staying dependable. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, play, and any training habits they’re used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s environment, making sure everything stays clean, safe, and stress-free. I give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, and I always keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands. I’m especially attentive to energy levels and behavior, whether that means getting a high-energy dog out for a long walk or just spending calm time with a more relaxed or older dog.

This was my first time using Rover and Mya made the experience amazing! I will definitely be using her again. My dog is very shy and not good with strangers but Mya took her time to be patient and calming. My dog started warming up to her very fast and I belive dogs have a good judge of character ;)

Lulu was a huge help today as I traveled out of town for my first day of work! It sounds like both doggos behaved and she seemed to enjoy hanging out with them over their potty break. I am looking forward to her next visit!

Crissy went above and beyond to take care of my 3 pets. I had a family emergency while I was traveling, so they extended the checkins. When we had a blizzard, they took my dog Sadie to their house and cared for her until the storm cleared. It means a lot to me that they took care of things so I could attend to my family in Pennsylvania. Thank you!
