“This was our third time using Nicol. She is very reliable, comes exactly when we ask her to, and is a fantastic communicator. Love getting photo updates while I’m gone!”
“Jennifer works really well with big dogs. My big grumpy newfy mixed felt in love with her right away🙂. She was always on time for her visits and updated us of the status of the dogs. Glad to come back to well fed and hydrated doggies. Will use and recommend her services.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets ever since I was a young child. Animals are my passion and I’m currently attending college to become a biologist. I have three years of vet tech experience. I have also trained puppies for hunting. I would love to have an amazing experience with your pet from long walks, cuddle time, treats and lots of love. I am currently a part-time student. I am best able to take care of your pet whenever you need. Animals are truly special in this world, and deserve the best possible care. I am able to walk your dog as often as every hour. I enjoy long walks often ranging from 2 to 8 miles. I enjoy playing, training, cuddling, and taking care of your pet to the fittest.
“Bianca was a great sitter! Kind and communicative throughout the entire process and took good care of our fur baby :) Appreciated that she shared updates and pictures during each drop-in visit. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Troy is just an outstanding young man who no doubt is going to be successful at whatever he chooses to do. My 75 lb. Pitbull Scraps absolutely loves Troy and Troy is great with him. Troy is always punctual as well as flexible. He’s almost like a son to our family 🥰”
“Danni is such a wonderful cat sitter! She always cares for my babies with so much love and gives me very detailed updates and lots of pictures. She also is super responsive if I ever have questions or requests. One of my kitties is diabetic and Danni has been so great with getting him his insulin. If you are in need of a kind, responsible, and responsive sitter you need to book Danni!”
“Ryenne was an amazing dog sitter for Tyson! From the moment I met her, I could tell she was really attentive and cared about Tyson’s well being. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which made me feel super at ease while I was away. Tyson absolutely loved her, and I could tell he was well taken care of. Ryenne went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”

She left Remy a stocking full of toys and treats for when we got back super sweet and thoughtful AND she fixed our dog food storage issue with a new dog food container, Kathryn is the bomb and we cannot recommend her enough!”
“We met with Allyson and knew that she was going to be the perfect sitter for our pups. Her level of professionalism and frequency of communication really helped to ease our minds about our furry friends while away. Thank you Allyson.”
About: Hi, I'm Aspen! I’ve been caring for pets for over 3 years, both for my own family and for clients. I have also volunteered with ARC socializing and caring for pets for several years.

No matter if your pet needs feeding, walking, playtime, or just company, I am patient, communicative, and calm. I know how much we miss our pets when we're away, so you can expect immediate responses, frequent photos, videos and updates during my visit.

“Mia was wonderful as usual. She made friends with our very shy DB. Not very many people get her to come out but Mia was able to. When we got home, founds everything in good shape and two happy kitties. Thanks, Mia!”
“Ashlee did an amazing job taking care of my three cats while I was away! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals—my cats absolutely loved her. It was such a relief knowing they were in such good hands. She also took the time to water my plants, which I really appreciated. Everything was well cared for and I came home to happy pets and a thriving home. I highly recommend Ashlee to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Our family was gone on an extended vacation and we were able to relax and know our dogs and fishies were well taken care of. Amanda was exceptionally contentious by sending pics/videos (without us asking!). We would highly recommend Amanda without reservation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up on a farm and currently interning at a veterinary office. Through years of pet-sitting for friends and family, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments. Animal care is more than a job for me. It’s a lifelong passion! I’m working toward becoming a veterinarian so I can continue providing thoughtful, attentive care to every pet I meet. I am a full-time college student and do feline research for USF. Due to my heavy class schedule, I am only availible Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I can manage walks or drop-ins during the week, but those time slots are limited. I love showing affection to my pets and others. I go on nice walks, engage in interactive play, and meet basic medical needs. I currently volunteer at a small animal shelter and assist veterinarians with general surgeries and clinic appointments. I can handle animals in a safe and collected manner, be it crating, training, etc.
“Marcus was great! He does great with teddy who can be a handful, is always communicative and sends lots of pictures and videos. He was even able to accommodate my last minute trip for the holiday with no problem! Have booked him before and will definitely be booking him again!”
Temple Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Our dogs were comfortable, happy, and well loved while we were away. Kathryn was dependable and made the whole experience stress-free for us. We’re so thankful for the flexibility she granted us and we would gladly book again!
Madeline was absolutely wonderful with my two orange cats, Wall-E and Eva. She sent photos and updates every visit, followed all my detailed instructions perfectly, and I could tell she genuinely cared about their wellbeing. I was traveling for family emergency for 7 days and had complete peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Definitely going to book her for my next trip. Highly recommend!
Tina was a wonderful pet sitter! She provided pictures and detailed daily updates and spent as much time trying to socialize with my shy baby as possible. She respected my space and followed all of the provided directions perfectly! I would definitely use her again. Very trustworthy with your animal and your home!
Chloee was the best! Not only did she follow our instructions, she went above and beyond in caring for our cats. They aren’t the easiest cats to deal with and she was extremely patient and helpful. She was also extremely communicative with us, sending multiple pictures and videos every day. I highly recommend Chloee! In the future I really hope she’s still pet sitting because she will be my first choice!
Isabella was such a caring and attentive sitter! She worked with me to arrange the key dropoff even when she was on vacation, and provided multiple updates and pictures and helped ease my worried! Zia looked so happy in the photos so I know that she took good care of her; I would truly recommend her :))
Amazing sitter, she has great communication and was perfectly attentive with my dogs! I know they definitely loved having her and she was my first time ever sitter while i was away and i’m so thankful i chose her. If you need a sitter, i’d recommend reaching out to Catherine!!
Michelle is 10 stars. I was impressed from the moment i met Michelle with her preparation and attention to detail. I left the country for 2 weeks and she went above and beyond keeping me updated and taking great care of 5 cats and a bird! I had no worries while i was away thanks to Michelle
