“Megan and Lee are awesome! It was so lovely getting to do a meet and greet before we left on our trip. They took wonderful care of the pets and I really enjoyed getting photos of the happy animals while we were away.”


About: I've taken care of pets for over 10 years. I love both dogs and cats, and use my experience as a studio photographer to take portraits of people's pets. I'm experienced with training new dogs and caring for older pets. I work as a studio photographer- most of my workday is spent at home editing photos on my computer. I'm typically available during the week and the weekend throughout the day. I don't currently have any pets in my home, so no need to worry about other dogs or cats. I also live 5 minutes from a dog park if your dog enjoys socializing with other dogs!
“Taylor is wonderful! She followed my wishes for care. I have 5 dogs and she did overnight visits with them. Feeding them, hanging out with them and loving on them. Taylor went above and beyond to help me and I would highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of doggies most of my entire life. I’m experienced, quick on my feet and energetic. I have a large, grassy backyard with a privacy fence, so your pup has freedom to run around as much as he or she wants! Excited to meet your little fur baby! I work from home so I have the flexibility to go out and walk or play with your pup! I’m free all weekends as well. I have my own doggie who is friendly, energetic and loves to play. He gets along with everyone. My house has a big backyard with a fence so the dogs are free to run around as much as they’d like. I also have a portable fence for inside the house if needed.

About: Hi! My name is Emily, and I'm a Registered Veterinary Technician with hands-on experience in animal care, I have my associates degree in Veterinary Technology. I've worked closely with dogs, cats and exotics of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, so I'm very comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra care. With my veterinary background, I have hands-on experience working with animals in both general practice and emergency situations, so I'm comfortable recognizing signs of illness, handling medical needs, and staying calm under pressure. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like they're my own. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'm reliable, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'd describe my personality as Friendly, dependable, detail-oriented.

I’m happy to accommodate your needs and make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in the client’s home or my own. In the client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, while also keeping their home clean and secure. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment where pets can relax, stick to their usual routine as much as possible, and receive plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. In both settings, I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication with regular updates for peace of mind.

About: I’ve always loved working with animals. I have hands on experience caring for all breeds of animals. I'm active, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors, whether that's going for walks, hikes, or simply getting fresh air. Because of my animal background, I'm comfortable around animals of all sizes and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. As a pet caregiver, I'll treat your pets like they're my own. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn off energy, or extra attention while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently working part time, which allows me to have flexibility and availability throughout the day for dog walks, drop in visits, and pet care. Your pets safety, comfort, and well being are always my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I strive to provide a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while you're away.
“Another great stay with Elizabeth! Our boys and house were well cared for during our one week vacation. When we left one of our dogs had nervous poops but she watched him and let us know everything returned to normal in 48 hours. That's a relief when you're not there to see for yourself and care for your dog. She's very thoughtful with feedback about the dogs and takes great pictures of them too! We'll definitely hire her again.”

“We used Karen for the first time for our 2 dogs. She sent pictures and made me feel comfortable that they were being well cared for. I will definitely be using her again.”

About: Hello! My name is Wesley! I'm a dedicated animal lover with a soft spot for cats of all ages and health conditions. I don't have pets, so the entire house is for your pet.

I have had more than 12 cats, and took care of many cats in these last years I work from home and don't have kids, so I am fully dedicated to your kitty. My house is large, with many comfortable places for the cat and a morning room (with a net) with a nice view of my private external garden. What kind of services are you looking for? 🙂 I work from home, so I am fully dedicated to your cat almost 24 hours daily. My wife also loves pets and will be around to ensure your cat is having a good time. We don't have kids or other pets, so your cat will have the entire house. I have a large house with 2700 sqft, including a private yard with a large morning room (with net), so your pet can enjoy internal and external areas safely.
“This was my first booking with Rover and if Tonia is an example of the quality and compassionate pet sitters....we will be back! Tonia was prompt, kind, attentive and a life-saver (last minute scheduling request). We couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you Tonia and Rover! From Tucker's mom & dad.”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and started pet sitting when I was 14. I have looked after many different animals including dogs, cats, lizards, and a spider! I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior animals and animals with disabilities as well. I am currently working a part time job so I will have plenty of time to walk and play with your pets! If I am needed on an hourly basis, let me know two weeks beforehand so I can schedule time off work. I can stay overnight at your house if needed I will not bring your pets over to my home because my own dog is unsure about other animals. I like to stay with the animals for two hours each time I check in on them to keep them company and to play with them. I can also stay overnight and all day if needed.
“Gabby is simply the best. She was amazing and flexible with the needs of our senior girl, Jersie. She sent picture updates throughout our trip and kept us in the loop of what was going on. We are so thankful for her compassion and are looking forward to booking with her again ❤️”

“Oli did an amazing job with our dog. We got such detailed and entertaining reports. We never worried for a moment that our dog was getting better care than we would provide. Oli was responsive and flexible and left our home in great condition. We would book Oli again in an instant and we very highly recommend them to anyone.”

“Great communication. Went above and beyond with cleaning muddy paw prints off the floor due to the rain. Followed all directions and asked questions if he was unsure of something. Highly recommend for your pets needs!”

Tory took amazing care of our senior yorkie, Bella! We were gone for 8 days and I really think Bella has been looking for her new friend :). Bella can be an anxious dog, but she was clearly comfortable with Tory. Tory was very respectful in our home and it even looked cleaner when we returned home than when we left! We will definitely seek Tory for future sitting needs!

Bethany was freaking incredible. I gave her so many instructions to follow for my pets routine, and she followed them to the tee. My dog fell in love with her. She was able to administer medicine to my cat AND put a harness on him… if you know anything about cats, you will know how hard that is to do…. Amazing. Thank you so much Bethany for making my first experience on rover a seamless process. I can’t wait to book you again!

Olivia was outstanding! She was everything her resume and past reviews said she was... and more! I have three dogs, 2 that are up in years and 1 that requires medication and monitoring daily. Olivia connected with them right away and she provided excellent care for all of them. She is dependable, reliable and professional,, all the things you look for when you are entrusting someone to care for the pets you love. I had a number of pet routines that she had she had to master to make my pups feel comfortable and she did great,,, she was the only change for them and they connected with her on the join up visit. I could not recommend her more highly.
John was fantastic! Our dog can be very shy and anxious in unfamiliar situations. John was very patient and quickly earned his trust. We had never been able to go away as a complete family before but chose John to care for our beloved Koda and were delighted with the results. Multiple daily communications & pictures kept us connected during our extended absence. Will call on John again in the future.
Allie was amazing! Exactly what we were looking for in a house / pet sitter. So loving and caring with our two doodles, 15 and 3. So much attention to detail with the pups and the house in general. Communication was always great. Would definitely hire her again.
Teresa did an amazing job with my pups. She sent pictures of them and kept their schedule perfectly. They got plenty of love and were very content when we got home. My one dog has cushings disease and needs meds twice a day and it was no problem for her. I will definitely rebook with her again.
