“Maggie was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with from start to finish, sent photos every day, and was very attentive to our dog. We felt completely comfortable knowing our home and pet were in such good hands. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to others.”

“We feel like we lucked out asking Jodi to watch our dogs! She is a true professional along with being a sweet and kind person who clearly loves the opportunity to spend time with dogs and not just be there and feed them and let them outside when needed. We felt very comfortable leaving our 3 beloved dogs and home in her care, which is not something you normally feel when first meeting someone, but she is who she is and is a genuinely good person. Great super fast communication, early despite road closures due to flooding and even sent photos of the happy pups. We look forward to seeing her again! Highly recommend! Thanks for everything, Jodi!!”

“Gage is amazing and really cared for my dog as if he was his own. He has such a passion for dogs and it shows! He’s wonderful, prompt, and very responsible. I appreciate the time he spent caring for my dog. Thank you Gage! <3”


“Kathryn was amazing with our 2 year old golden! She took her on multiple hikes and walks and gave her lots of snuggles. Sent photos and updates everyday! She took wonderful care of our home and it was so tidy and clean when we got back! She will definitely be our go to for Kona going forward!”

“We had the best experience with Monica! She will be my first go-to from now on whenever I leave town! She was so kind, left the house immaculate and Farley loved hanging out with her and Bodie at our house. Farley is a sensitive soul and she made sure he didn’t feel lonely which was a worry of mine. She sent photos and was super communicative while we were gone- this was the first time we had someone stay in our house and she really made me feel great about it:-) Thank you Monica!!”

“Krystle treated my 15 yr+ baby with love and care. She was kind enough to meet us ahead of the scheduled time to see if we agreed it would be a good fit long term. She left my place tidy and took great care of my sweet girl. Next time we will try a longer stay to see how she does. It was great having someone who understands the needs of senior pups.”
“Mariia and Ethan were great! Excellent communicators, happy and well exercised pup and a clean house upon return. You couldn’t ask for anything more. They are responsive and responsible. We will be using them again!”

“David was really great with our dog and two cats. He was very attentive, responsive and provided frequent and detailed photo updates which was very appreciated. David brought a very calm energy to looking after our pets, which was very helpful considering our dog can be quite anxious. I would highly recommend booking David for your petsitting needs. For us, it was our first time using Rover, so we were a little cautious to make sure we got the right person. I felt super at ease with David, and comfortable that he was taking good care of our animals. I will definitely look to him in the future!”

About: Hi! I'm Evelyn, When I'm not in the lab at MSU studying microbiology, I love getting outside, staying active, and spending time with pets of all kinds. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m here to offer dependable services tailored to your pet’s needs. My energy runs high and I bring the same attention to detail I use in my research to caring for your pets and home. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and work with your schedule. Let’s make sure your pet feels loved and safe while you’re away! I am a recent MSU grad working at Bodhi Farms over the summer as well as researching at MSU. Most of my working hours are spent at Bodhi Farms which is a pet friendly property! When I am not there I continue my days outside, hiking, heading to the river, and enjoying Bozeman. As a college student, I have just one pet, a hamster named reggie who is a lovely palm sized companion. I often care for my neighbor's dog who loves to roam in our large backyard.
About: I grew up with dogs and have owned 3 dogs in my adulthood including two mixed-breed rescues from Milo and a pure-bread yellow lab at 6 weeks. My experience ranges from puppyhood to senior dog care, as well as behavior issues including fear, resource, and leash aggression. I attune to a dog's needs and understand their body language and boundaries. I am responsible, reliable and have a deep love and respect for animals. I am a teacher on summer break, so my schedule is fairly open and flexible aside from occasional travel. I have reliable transportation and can accommodate last minute needs. My services include in-home visits (feedings, medications, playtime, companionship) and walks. I'm able to do a neighborhood walk or drive to a local trailhead for a hike.

About: I’ve always grown up with having a dog in the house, and was asked my family and friends to feed, walk, and play with their pets (mostly dogs and cats)! I’m currently working part time, meaning I have a bunch of free time on my hands to keep your pup company. Even if you need someone just to pop in for a few minutes or take a long walk I’m your gal. I’m always aware of my surroundings and make sure the pup can become comfortable with me when I meet them! I will also ask additional questions in case I need extra clarification
“Adrienne was wonderful with our two dogs! Her calm energy was a great fit for our pups, who need a loving and quiet home. I could tell immediately upon our first meeting that she was a kind and compassionate person, which put us at ease. She sent us cute videos and updates, which were fun to get. Our house was immaculate when we returned home, too. Highly recommend Adrienne!”

About: Hi all! I have always grown up around cats, dogs, and even rodents. I have endless experience taking care of pets and I am an absolute animal lover. I am young, energetic, and very active so I know your pet and I will have a ball between enrichment activities, going to the dog park, and walking/jogging together. I look forward to meeting your fur babies and taking them in as my own :) My schedule is quite flexible and I am more than happy to take on last minute bookings. I am sophomore in college locally and have a pretty flexible schedule and my own reliable car! I go on walks almost daily so bringing your dog along with me is a pleasure! I adore cats and have one of my own, so I would also be overjoyed to visit and care for cats while you're away. I will of course respect and honor all of your directions and house rules if and when I am taking care of your pets in your home as well as if we are out.
“Jody was amazing! From the moment I met Jody, I knew my dogs would be in good hands. She asked great questions, followed up with me and kept me apprised while we were away. We found the house cleaner than we left it. Dogs were well taken care of. Already planning on rebooking her. Get Jody if you can!”

“Yanhong is wonderful. She took on our two cats and dog with little notice and was wonderful with them. Our dog is high energy and the cats not so much and she handled their needs perfectly.”

About: Hi! I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was very young and grew up in a house with two dogs. I have taken care of puppies and kittens and senior animals. I am happy to give your furball some love while you’re gone! I just graduated from UC Berkeley and I am taking a break from school to save up for a Masters in education! My schedule is super open for pet care and extremely flexible. I can promise visits will not be rushed! I have the availability to put your pets first:) I have a park near my home and I can also run with the dog if they are up for it. I also love snuggles so if your pet likes some gentle love I am the sitter you’re looking for.
About: I’ve always loved animals, I’ve had two dogs! I’ve dog sit and cat sit for my neighbors ever since I was young. I have experience with young playful animals as well as older and quieter animals. I love playing and spending time with them! I work part-time, so have plenty of time to spend time with your pets. I love taking dogs on walks and I have flexibility so I can take them out to go to the bathroom as frequently as needed. I can stay overnights for as long as needed. I have a fenced yard and I’m happy to spend as much time as I can with your pets. I’m happy to play fetch with dogs and take them on long and short walks.

“Lisa is always great with our dogs and respects our home. She got the dogs out on several walks and took good care of them. She always leaves the house clean and has great communication!”

“Hannah stayed at my place to watch my cat for a week, she was so great! She sent me daily updates and made sure that my pet was well taken care of. Would absolutely book her again!”

“Tania was so wonderful with our boy. She is clearly very experienced with dogs and knows to ask all the right questions for information that we forgot to provide. She was also incredibly mindful of our space and easy to communicate with.”

Tamalpais Valley pet parents share their Rover experiences
If you want someone to love and care for your beloved pet as much as you do then Kathryn is your person! She was a great communicator from the very start. Kept me informed and updated daily with the best photos of my 13 yr old aussie Finn. He has slowed down, can’t hear forgets he just had dinner 😅 Kathryn was simply the best. The house was tidy and my pup was happy! I will definitely call upon Kathryn for my next trip.

Heather is always amazing both as a pet sitter and house sitter. I have hired her multiple times and will continue to do so for as long as she lets me.:) my pets love her, I can tell they are well taken care of, I get great updates about them and she goes above and beyond in terms of taking care of the house. I could not ask for anyone better to stay with my pets. I recommend her without reservation.
Renee recently did a house and dog sit for us and it couldn't have gone better. She is responsible, detail oriented and our dog loves her. Her love of animals is obvious and she easily absorbed all the instructions we left her regarding Zoey's care and our house. She communicated often with photos and updates. She was respectful of our home and we came home to a clean and tidy house. We can recommend Renee without any reservations.
Emily took great care of our pup, Atom, at our home. She took him for long walks at different locations each day, including a beach outing (with advance permission) and shared photos throughout our trip. She followed the instructions that we provided for dog and home care, and asked questions as needed. I felt comfortable that Atom was well cared for and highly recommend Emily. Admittedly, we were cautious to leave Atom with a pet sitter for the first time and had a great first experience with Rover, thanks Emily!

Emma is wonderful. She took care of our two kittens while we were traveling, and you could tell she has experience with animals. She liked to interact with the kittens, provided helpful suggestions and information (especially to two new cat owners), and you could tell she really cared about them. We would feel confident reaching out to her again.
