About: I’ve always been the go to person for friends and family when it comes to taking care of their dogs. I truly love spending time with animals and make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and happy while their owner is away. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or cozy cuddles, I treat every dog like they’re my own. Pet care is a regular part of my routine. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, and play sessions so every pet stays comfortable and on schedule. I make sure they get consistency, exercise, and affection all the things that keep them happy and healthy. I care for every pet like they’re my own! I take the time to get to know their routines, personality, and comfort needs. Whether I’m staying at their home or they’re staying with me, I make sure they have lots of playtime, walks, snuggles, and consistency. Everything they need to feel secure and loved.
“Casandra was so sweet with our little fur babies. She dropped in to see them twice while we were gone for just a short overnight out of town. We will definitely request her again when needed. Thanks Casandra!”


“Appreciate you so much Abby! Teddy was provided the best care possible and it sure made our time away from him that much more enjoyable!! 100% trust that you will always do what is best for Teddy, no matter what needs arise. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts (especially Teddy)!!!!”

“Jacob was FANTASTIC!! Easily the best service I have received using Rover. He took fantastic care of my car while I was out of town for Christmas. I look forward to booking again with Jacob!”

“Aubrey is wonderful! She is extremely punctual, a great communicator, very sweet, and so great with my very anxious puppy. She’s very knowledgeable about quality care for pets and always leaves great post visit summaries which gives me great peace of mind while I’m away at work. Definitely book Aubrey!!! ❤️”

“Adriana was so great! Met with us beforehand to go over everything and meet our dog. She was punctual and even took him for a walk. Jimmy seemed to love her and we loved the pics!”

About: If I could save and love on all the animals in the world, I would — *especially* cats and dogs. I have had dogs in the past and currently have two kitties of my own, and know how much it means (and how much peace of mind it gives me) to have a sitter that takes good care of them and loves them like their own while we are away. I cannot wait to be that compassionate sitter for you and your babies! I am currently a stay-at-home mom with a toddler and two friendly kitties, and would love to include your furbabies in the fun! We are open to boarding or drop-ins Our smoke-free home has a big fenced backyard, a toddler and a pair of friendly kitties to keep your furbaby company ❤️ We also love going on walks!
About: What makes me different from other dog sitters is the personalized care and genuine connection I build with every dog I meet. I don’t just follow a routine I take the time to understand each dog’s unique personality, needs, and quirks. Whether it’s an energetic pup who loves long walks or a senior dog who needs a gentler pace and extra attention, I tailor every visit to make them feel safe, loved, and happy. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I structure my day around consistent visit times, walks, feeding schedules, and play sessions to ensure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I have a cat tree for cats makes them feel safe and comfortable and also a dog park near me for any dogs whose energetic!
About: Hi! I’m Savannah, a registered nurse with a flexible schedule and a huge love for animals. I know how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. My schedule allows me to care for pets in the afternoons and evenings on Mondays, Wednesdays, and the weekends, with a little notice, and I’m always happy to be flexible when possible. With my background in nursing, I take a careful and detail-oriented approach to pet care. I follow all instructions closely, keep environments clean and safe, and pay close attention to behavior and routines. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.
“Lindsey was wonderful with my three kittens, who were raised feral but are quickly becoming little purr machines. She clearly took great care of them — they were well fed, their litter was clean, and they had plenty of water. When I got home, they were relaxed and happy, and started purring the moment I touched them. I highly recommend Lindsey and will definitely use her again when the need arises.”

“Firstly, I really appreciated the Rover app. It was so easy to choose our provider and Marisa responded immediately. She came to our home the same morning to meet our dogs and discuss our needs. Marisa routinely gave me updates and sent pictures of our dogs throughout the time we used her services. Our home was kept perfectly neat and the dogs were happy when we returned home. We will absolutely use Marisa in the future and have told others about our experience with Rover. Vickie Krolikowski”

About: My personal record is hosting 5 dogs at once—and somehow everyone (including me) had a great time. I’m experienced with managing multiple dogs, keeping them entertained, well-exercised, and showered with attention. Expect plenty of walks, playtime, treats (with your approval!), and belly rubs. Dog hair doesn’t bother me—it’s basically glitter for dog lovers. ✨🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work with a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I am able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also enjoy being active, so daily walks and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to. During the week, I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent care and companionship. On weekends, I typically have even more availability for longer walks, play sessions, and quality time. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit, a daily walk, or overnight care, I make sure each pet receives reliable, attentive care and sticks to their normal routine as closely as possible. I treat every pet as if they were my own family member. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, and regular potty breaks. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if required), and any special instructions provided by the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to maintain their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and updates with photos and messages so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. I have experience caring for multiple dogs at once and understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, safe, and happy while their owners are away.
“Amazing sitter!!! She went above and beyond my door jammed she couldn't get in , stayed extra to make sure coco was okay. She is the best sitter i ever had!!! Would hire her again!!”

About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals. From cats and dogs to chickens and goats, I am confident that, whatever the animal, and whatever the need, I can’t take care of it! I currently have two cats and three dogs of my own, so my patience is that of a brick wall being pummeled by a feather. And don’t let my size fool you! Though I may be the same height as your pup, I am fully capable of caring after a dog of any size. I’m currently going to school full time, so I have a completely open schedule while school is out for the summer break! When school starts again in the fall, I will continue to do over night pet sitting but will only do walks when I can. If their general care is listed, I follow that. I’ll reach out if I have any questions and with occasional pictures of your pet to keep you updated! I try to play with them every few hours, and take dogs on walks at least once a day. I also spend as much time as I possibly can with each animal!
“Elizabeth was a great sitter! Elizabeth definitely has a natural way with pets because my shy cat, Hazel, warmed up to her so quickly. Elizabeth was always on time, communicative, respectful, and so kind. I loved the pictures and detailed summaries from her visits and I can tell Hazel had a great time. It gave me great peace of mind that Elizabeth was checking in and playing with Hazel while I was out of town. I’ll definitely request Elizabeth again!”

“Elizabeth did drop-in visits for my cat, Lily. I did a meet and greet with her, where I told her what toys Lily liked, where the treats were, and I gave general directions on what she should do to engage my cat. She stayed the whole time, and gave Lily plenty of attention and play time. She played with Lily using a rat toy I mentioned during the meet and greet. I'm glad I have a sitter to turn to for the holidays when my friends are out of town.”

Amber was absolutely fantastic! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay and kept me updated with plenty of pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing Louie was doing well. She followed all of my care instructions exactly as requested and made sure Louie was comfortable and well cared for. She went above & beyond while Louie was in her care. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I would highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again!

We have used Nana & Scott three times now I believe and each time, we have felt so confident that our pups are in wonderful hands. They communicate with us so well, love on our dogs, and give us each the peace of mind we need to enjoy our trips without worry. Booking with Nana & Scott is a no brainer.

Aubrey is wonderful! She is extremely punctual, a great communicator, very sweet, and so great with my very anxious puppy. She’s very knowledgeable about quality care for pets and always leaves great post visit summaries which gives me great peace of mind while I’m away at work. Definitely book Aubrey!!! ❤️

It was our first time using the app and we have a kitten that we just got that is only about two months old, plus our nine year old dog who takes medication daily, so I was nervous! But Aivy was amazing! She took the BEST pictures of the animals too. Overall great experience.

Daniela is the best. I had an emergency and she was able to accommodate Mr. Bailey Dior. From the time of our initial visit, my son was treated with care as if he was her own. Playdates. He socialized very well. Thank you so much. Will be using her services again.

Melanie is so amazing and sweet! She went above and beyond taking care of our dog and cat. As first time Rover users, we realized very quickly that we had nothing to stress about leaving our babies with her. We will definitely be booking with her again, thank you Melanie!!

This was our first time using Ember on Rover, and we couldn’t have had a better experience! She let our dogs out while we were away and was absolutely awesome. She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease knowing our pups were in good hands. It’s always a little nerve-wracking trying someone new, but she exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring help with their dogs! Best experience leaving our dogs!

Samantha is absolutely WONDERFUL. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to come home from our trips to a clean home and happy pups. Samantha is communicative, responsive, and sincerely makes you feel like taking care of your fur babies is her pleasure. Will definitely continue using her services!

Claire watched our two dogs during the holiday break and did an amazing job. We have a senior dog that requires special care for behavior and health and an energetic puppy, and they loved being under her care. Claire was reliable and kept strong communication. We would highly recommend Claire and would definitely request her sitting service again in the future :)
