“Rachael was amazing. She was so attentive to our Kili and took great care of her. She developed a routine with her that Kili enjoyed and looked forward to. Hopefully we will be able to hire her again in the future.”

“My cats are not the easiest to look after. They’re scared of anyone other than my wife or myself. Cailey didn’t give up and made them comfortable with her in the house. I will definitely have her come back next time.”


About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and hands on experience with both dogs and cats. As a pet parent to one dog and three cats, some with health issues, I’ve learned how to give medication, manage special diets, and provide calm, attentive care. I know how tough it is to be away from your pets, so thank you for trusting me to be there for them and give them the love and comfort they need while you’re gone! I am available Monday through Friday 9am to 5 pm anytime. If other days are needed don’t he’s to ask as I might have availability on the weekends as well! I live on the end of a cul-de-sac with no main road so I am able to allow your fur babies to run around in my backyard without any danger

“Bailey was great to work with—communicative, punctual, and a pleasure to interact with. He kept me updated with regular photos of my dogs and went above and beyond to ensure they were not just well cared for but truly spoiled with treats and extra attention. He has a natural connection with animals, and they trusted him almost immediately.”


About: Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs through extended stays—one for over two months and another for about two weeks. These experiences helped me gain hands-on knowledge in feeding, walking, maintaining hygiene, and providing loving companionship. I’m detail-oriented, responsible, and committed to making dogs feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in their home environment. Pet care easily fits into my routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and make them a priority. I’m flexible with my schedule as I am currently not working and can accommodate daily walks, feeding times, play sessions, and any special care routines. Whether it’s early mornings or late evenings, I’m happy to adjust to meet the needs of the pet and maintain consistency in their routine. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s great for walks and outdoor play. I follow the pet’s routine closely—whether it’s feeding on time, giving medication if needed, or just spending quality time playing and bonding. Cleanliness is a priority for me, and I always ensure their space is fresh, tidy, and stress-free.

“Casey is great with our kitties, and we really appreciate the good care she provides them when we’re away! She follows all instructions and takes lots of great pics that are a joy to see every day when we’re on vacation and missing them. We definitely recommend her for other cat parents!”


“Colleen was great! She had timely responses and even came over two days before her scheduled visits to meet my dog as he can definitely be a little scared of strangers! Colleen sent pictures throughout the day letting us know what happened during her two visits! My little guy looked like he had such a great time with her. We will definitely be using Colleen again!”


About: - 4 years of animal science training (grooming, bathing, cutting nails, and medical care) - 5 years dog and cat care experience (walking, feeding, cleaning up after, companionship, etc) I’m a college student and all of my classes are between 8am and 2pm Monday - Thursday. My schedule is pretty flexible outside of these time. I form a bond with the animal by spending time with them (playing, petting, scratching their belly’s, etc). By forming this bond, the animal trusts me and looks forward to my visits.

About: I love being with dogs! I love to run, walk, and just hang with dogs. I make sure to always have the time and energy to put your pets first! I am currently a part time college student and work part time, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the best of care!! I make sure to keep the environment clean and safe for all animals! I treat everything with respect and care as if it’s my own

“Emma Rae was wonderful and we felt so comfortable leaving our cats in her care. She came to our home to meet our cats prior to our trip. We loved the pictures she sent of the 2 of them. this was our 1st experience with River and we feel so lucky to have connected with Emma Rae. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”


About: I’ve worked with dogs since I was 13. I really started to understand them when we got into agility as a solution to a problem. I’m currently working as a contract consultant, so I have plenty of flexibility to walk, care, train your dog! I can walk two to three times a day. We can train during walks or during separate sessions. I am a Master’s agility handler of one of the most difficult breeds, the Russell Terrier. Almost nobody felt we could get this far in the agility arena. So I can pretty much handle any dog. I am looking forward to leveraging our agility and behavioral training to help make your family pet more obedient and calm.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and I’m working toward my dream of becoming a veterinarian. I have two dogs of my own—a high-energy Jack Russell Terrier mix and a sweet, attention-loving Golden Retriever—so I’m used to handling different temperaments and energy levels. I care for every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. My goal is to provide trustworthy, thoughtful care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m available Monday through Friday, as well as on Saturdays and Sundays, so I can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, feedings, or just keeping your dog company, I make time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions closely and treat every pet like my own, with love and attention to their needs. I also respect each household, ensuring I follow house rules and leave everything just as I found it.

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs all my life and I view pups as part of the family. Most of my experience is with poodles and doodle mixes of all sizes and varieties. I’ve raised dogs from puppyhood and cared for adopted pups for family members and friends. Among the dogs I’ve cared for are pups that are elderly, blind, diagnosed with chronic diseases, recovering from injuries and suffering with food allergies. I am comfortable around a wide variety of dogs. I took a hiatus from my career to raise my kids and as they’ve gotten older I have more free time to invest with your pet! I am a stay at home mom with 2 small kids and 2 older kids in school during the day which provides great schedule flexibility. I do not host dogs in my home at this time to respect my elderly dog’s space. I can manage walks and exercise for your dog and provide for any other basic care they may need (special feeding regimens, administration of medications…). I often have 2 young human assistants to make sure your pup gets lots of love and affection!

About: My name is Michaela! I have experience with puppies, senior doggos, and everything in between. Whether you need a reliable dog sitter for a long getaway or a daily dog walker, let’s connect and see if I am a good match for you and your furry friend. I offer reliable, attentive, and personalized services to meet your pet’s specific needs. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away without worry. I’m a work from home dog mom who has plenty of time to dedicate to your pet’s needs. My availability is extremely flexible for daily walking, weekday and weekend house sitting, and drop in visits. I have a big apartment with plenty of space to provide enrichment, care, playtime, structure, or whatever your pet’s needs. There’s trails for walking, water for swimming, plenty of toys for playing, and human supervision to make sure everyone is safe. I have a dog that is friendly and options for crating, if needed.

Victoria H.
“Torie is an exceptional caregiver! She is extremely reliable, and she loves dogs. I felt so comfortable leaving our fur-baby with her and I knew she was in wonderful hands with Torie. Our girl was so happy when we came back from vacation, it was like we never left because she still had so much love and attention from Torie! Our dog also has medical issues and Torie was able to handle them without issue, and really put our family at ease leaving our dog. It is always hard to leave a pet at home, but you can be certain that they will be in good hands with Torie.”


Michaela Y.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Michaela as a pet caregiver. She walks and watches my two Bernese Mountain Dogs. They are very big dogs, highly energetic and Michaela takes care of them with ease. She is not only incredibly responsible but also deeply affectionate and attentive. Michaela has a natural way with animals, always ensuring they feel loved and well-cared-for. Her dedication and warmth make her a standout choice for anyone seeking top-notch care for their pets. My dogs favorite part of their week is when she walks through the door. I have complete confidence that your furry companions will thrive under her care.”
Thorndale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Aly took spectacular care of my two dogs while I was away on vacation! She was always on time and was very responsive to any questions or concerns! She is so reliable and a great communicator. I will for sure be booking with her in the future! She made me feel so at ease knowing that my dogs were well taken care of while I was away.

Angie is a fantastic dog sitter who took wonderful care of our dogs. I was at ease knowing my senior corgi, who requires twice a day insulin injections, was in experienced good hands with Angie. This was my first vacation using Rover and definitely won’t be my last. Will definitely be booking Angie again!

Aspen was amazing and worth every penny! Not only did she provide an enjoyable experience for my puppy during two drop-in visits, but she also went above and beyond when she heard fireworks nearby. Although my dog was not displaying signs of fear, she picked up on his subtle signs of discomfort and texted me to ask if she could close the windows and turn on the TV for background noise. Only an experienced, professional, and caring person would have done this! I truly believe that if it was anyone else, they would not have noticed the signs or ignored them.Thanks to Aspen, my dog stayed calm, and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing that he was in good hands. I also loved receiving updates through the detailed report cards and photos. Highly recommend!

I would recommend Katie to anyone! It was our first time using Rover for drop ins and our anxious dog unfortunately didn’t warm up, but Katie was super patient and communicative which we really appreciated. It’s clear that she’s great with pets and highly experienced
