“I wish I could give Alyssa 10 stars, she was fantastic with our puppy. Going on a two week trip and leaving the puppy was stressful but Alyssa's care was beyond fantastic, she took such great care of our Romeo.”

“This is my first time using Rover and Ashley has been fantastic to work with. We have a young puppy and a shy adult dog and we need weekly visits. Ashley has been helpful and supportive working out a schedule, knowing it will evolve as the puppy gets older. She's responsive, flexible, and has given us good ideas on how these visits can meet the needs of both dogs and keep them happy and comfortable.”

About: I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets of all shapes and sizes throughout high school and college. Whether it was my college friend’s energetic puppy or my aunt’s elderly cat, I always loved spending time with them. I offer walks, feedings, playtime, possible vet trips if needed, and of course quality time with your pet in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest and happiest. Currently home for the summer which is perfect for open availability whenever and wherever. Available mornings, evenings and nights! I am flexible in almost every booking if needed. Pets are free to roam throughout the house! Dogs would have to be on a leash to be outside due to the unfortunate circumstances of having no fence in my back yard.
“Hannah took wonderful care of my 2 furry family members. I received a complete report with photos for each visit. When I arrived home both dogs were happy and relaxed. I will definitely call Hannah again!”


“This was our second time having Eileen take care of our kitties. She does great with our special needs cat and our new cat warmed up to her right away. She makes sure they are well taken care of and spends time with them for play too!”

“Lindsay S. saved the day! She came over on only 2 days notice & on one of the hottest days of the year. We had to keep our dog inside; Lindsay S. was prompt in arriving at his "dinnertime" to let him out, feed him & keep him company for the drop-in visit. She took great care with him & then sent photos on her own accord. That put our minds at ease until we could get home a few hours later. Well worth the (very affordable) fee & we will reach out to her again in the future, for sure! Thanks Lindsay S.!”

“Pam did a fantastic job with our girls. She came to meet them during the meet and greet and even stopped over again to make sure she understood what she needed to do right before the trip. She followed their schedule perfectly and spent a lot of time engaging and playing with them. I could tell immediately that my girls trusted her. She sent lots of pictures/videos and was detailed in her drop in update. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to have her care for our girls again.”

About: Hi! I am new to Rover! I am 24 and have taken care of dogs my whole life! Growing up, we always had at least 2-4 dogs in our home at all times, all different breeds and sizes. We treat dogs like children in my family :) I work a hybrid job in office Monday-Wednesday so my availability is mainly Thursday-Sunday. Week days I am available to do visits throughout the day and weekends my availability is very open. I am very good at following directions and I can ensure I will keep your pets safe and do anything I can to make this experience as comfortable as possible!
“Lin took great care of my cat Pepper while I was out of town. She gave Pepper lots of attention on every visit. Lin even got her to take her medication on schedule. I am very happy with how well she took care of Pepper.”

About: I've had family dogs for 13 years, but started taking care of some of my neighbors' dogs 5 years ago, whether it be taking them for potty breaks or staying over at their house to give them attentive care. I work part time at a pet boarding place as a kennel tech, so I have lots of experience with many different breeds and temperaments of both cats and dogs. I've worked with dogs of all sizes, from Yorkie to Saint Bernard, and have lots of experience caring for both puppies and senior pets that might need more rigorous attention. I will be working part-time this summer, meaning that on the occasional days I work, I am available any time before 8am and then after 1-2pm. I can still stay over with your pet any day, that just means that on workdays, I would feed and walk them (And any other things necessary) before 8am, and then have to leave for work and then come back at 1-2. Whenever I am not actively at work, I can spend all my time caring for your pets! I am experienced at reading pet body language and adapting to how they respond. I am very communicative and will send lots of updates about your pet, including daily pictures of your fur babies! I can supply treats (with your approval) and can take them to parks and other places for walks, as I have a car and license. I'm dedicated to making sure your animal is as happy as can be :-)
“Jess is wonderful with our 2 cats; And diligent checking our home when she comes. And we are so happy to get all the great communications and pictures! Thank you so much! We are so glad we found you to help us with “our boys”.”

“I appreciated Keira's cheery disposition and professionalism. She was quite knowledgeable about animals in general because of her regular profession and that helped put me at ease. I would book with her again.”

About: I am a compassionate individual who takes pride in caring for any pet. I pay extra attention to their needs, and how they are handled. I am flexible because I am home from college for the summer. I do not have many other commitments, other than a few set vacations. I care for pets the way I am instructed to, because I do not want to overstep any important boundaries. Pets are important to me.
“Liz did a fantastic job watching our two cats. They were both well taken care of and very happy when we came home. Liz kept in communication with us throughout our time away and was very nice to work with. We'll absolutely use her to watch our boys again in the future.”

Moriah was truly a god send! Our dog is very protective of our home and the people in it. We were afraid we wouldn’t be able to go on our vacation this year because of our dog’s behavior. Moriah knew how to handle our situation with care and discipline with our dog. She sent pictures and updates every day. With each day our dog feel in love with her. I would recommend Moriah to anyone looking for a not just a dog sitter but a dog whisperer! ~Angel
