“Lorissa did an amazing job! Gave good updates and reviews of their behavior during walks and drop in visits while i was out of town. She took plenty of pictures to show how they were doing during their walks and once they were back inside eating and playing!”
“Claudia was wonderful! From our first meet, she connected instantly with my cat Ava, which gave me complete confidence in her care. While I was away, she communicated consistently, sent great photos, and kept Ava’s litter clean. It’s clear she genuinely cares and takes the time to make pets feel comfortable. I came home to a happy cat. Highly recommend!”
“Diana was amazing! She was timely, responsive, very kind and my dogs warmed up to her in no time. This was my first time using Rover in quite some time so I was nervous, but Diana put me at ease. She walked my dogs, fed my dogs, and even sent fun photos and videos of them during their time together. If you’re new to Rover or tenured but considering Diana for you next booking, I definitely recommend!”
“Steph was great! All of the pictures she sent ensured that my pup was in good hands! I’d definitely recommend letting Steph take care of your pets while away from home.”
About: I have had my dog Teddy since I was 13. I’ve seen him in many different stages and how his care and needs have changed now that he is a senior. I am very attentive and detail oriented and can walk your dog as needed. I am an online grad student so my schedule is very flexible! I also currently have a fully remote internship that I can do anywhere. When in a client’s home I follow any and all instructions that are given as well as sticking to the pet’s routine if they have one
“Estefany has been amazing with my cat! She kept me updated with cute photos and notes, making me feel completely at ease while I was away. Blue, who's usually shy around new people, warmed up to her in no time I’m so grateful for her care and can't recommend her highly enough. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pet, Estefany is the one. 5 stars all the way!”
“Jovita was so awesome! So so good w/ both my dogs, one with past trauma leading to aggression at times. She gave him the space he needed all while filling his needs (potty breaks and food). She kept me updated, sent pics, and was great communicating. I will request her again any day to take care of my pups. Highly recommend!”
About: For the past nine years I have taken care of a variety of pets. Growing up, I was surrounded by German Shepards and Chihuahuas so I do have experience handling big and small dogs. Recently, I have helped my friend train and take care of her German Shepard pup for about two years. While she was at work, I would feed and take the dog out when asked and keep the pup company for as long the owner needed me to. I believe I am qualified to take care of dogs of any size. I am not shy towards cleaning up messes and I am very serious with making sure that the pet I am in charge with is safe and feels comfortable. I especially hope to bring a unique and loving experience to whoever I am taking care of. :) I'm currently a full-time student at ASU but my schedule is very open throughout the week and weekend. I only have classes from Monday to Thursday so I am completely free on the weekends. During the week, I get out of class each day at 1:15 so I am available after that time to start pet sitting! When working at a client's home, I will make sure to be respectful of the client's time and environment. I want to bring a safe and unique experience to the client and pet. To ensure safety, I will listen to the client's instructions and ask for clarity if I feel confused about something. I will be openly communicative with the client to ensure we are on the same page and go over safety plans in case an emergency were to happen under my care. Most importantly, I will listen to the pet's needs and try to give the best care to them as possible.
“I couldn’t be happier with Dhanica! She’s an amazing rover sitter! I will absolutely book her again. And yes you can use any photos or videos of socks that you’d like! She was so communicative, kind, and clearly loves animals. My cat Socks immediately warmed up to her, and I appreciated the frequent updates, including photos, videos, and messages. I’m so grateful for the excellent care and love she showed Socks. I would recommend Dhanica to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care. Cannot thank her enough!”
“I’m extremely grateful for aleksandras help! she sent lots of photos and videos which I really enjoyed. she went out of her way to make my extremely shy cat feel very comfortable and safe! I will definitely be a repeat client! 10/10 would recommend :)”
“Alyssa was great! I have 2 shy kitties that won't come out for strangers. She hid treats for them every day and helped out when Ash spilled the drinking fountain. I would highly recommend her and will likely hire her again!”
“Kristen did an amazing job taking care of my two cats! She was very knowledgeable in pet care and sent me pictures of her visits everyday. She offered to meet up with me beforehand to go over my cats needs and she was excellent with communicating! I was so happy to have a good first experience with rover ☺️”
About: I have grown up around a variety of breeds and sizes of dogs. I have a passion for taking care of things, especially dogs! If I could adopt all dogs I would and that is why I will treat your dogs like my own! I am very loving and understanding of trouble. I have patience and a huge heart that sets me apart from me peers :) I am a student at ASU with classes Monday and Wednesday. I am available Thursday-Sunday almost every week all day. I am open any day depending on what you need! Very open to anything :) I can easily crate dogs, I tend to gain their trust quickly, and I am able to work with scared or anxious dogs. I am patient and able to work with anything!

Briana is great!. She is reliable, communicative, and shows up when she says she will. Our dogs and cat LOVE her. Our cat is very shy and usually won’t come out for a sitter for days, but she comes out immediately for Briana. If you’re looking for a sitter, Briana should be it.
This was our first time using Michael for a one-hour visit while we were away most of the day, and everything went perfectly! He came over beforehand to meet our dogs and was so kind and attentive with them right from the start. On the day of the visit, he arrived exactly at the time we agreed on and sent us photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dogs clearly loved him! We’ll definitely be using Michael again for our future pet-sitting needs. Highly recommend!
Rebecca did an amazing job with my two cats. My cats are usually very shy with strangers and need time and space to get acclimated, and Rebecca was able to make them feel at ease. Booking another set of visits with Rebecca for when I have to go out of town in two weeks. Highly recommend!
Brian worked a long job for me taking care of our cat during a big transition for our family. We could not be more grateful for Brian and his consistent, caring attitude and hard work. It was a huge relief to know our cat was being cared for by Brian. Highly recommend Brian for any and all of your pet sitting needs!!
Lyndsi was absolutely wonderful! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of my pup. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her hands. She gave thoughtful updates, sent plenty of pictures, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect
Victoria was really great with doing check-ins for my dog Zoey. Initially her responses were really quick and her communication from the meet and greet to the first day she check on Zo was great! I could tell she has a lot of experience with dogs when I met her, had zero worries knowing she was checking on Zoey! Very laid back but professional at the same time!
