“Alyssa was very sweet and she treated our dog and cat like family. She sent pictures every day while we were gone and kept in touch via text and over the app. We will ask for her personally next time we have the chance!”

“Taylor really helped me out last minute. She was very kind and took great care of my 2 cats. They were very happy when I got home and everything was taken care of and tidy in my absence!”

“Ansley did a fantastic job. She was very professional, prompt and wonderfully attentive to my shy little kitty. I would definitely have her care for my pets again!”

“Alyssa was a wonderful pet sitter while I was unexpectedly traveling. My pup loved her and she went above and beyond with the photos/communication. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with for my first time using Rover. Thank you Alyssa!”

“Elisha was great! During the meet and greet she asked good questions about Wicket's care and preferences. Although she dropped in only for a day, we will absolutely call Elisha when we need extended kitty care in the future.”

“Sydney is an amazing pet sitter. My bird doesn’t like many women but came to sit on her shoulder right away. She was able to come check on Ricky kind of last minute New Year’s week and I’m so glad she was available.”

“We’ve booked with Sidney multiple times and she consistently has the best communication and takes such great care of our pups. She is reliable and it’s such a huge relief to know that we will come home to happy, healthy pups after her diligent care.”

“Taylor went above and beyond to make sure Jax was comfortable and taken care of. We recently moved so he’s been very suspicious of strangers, but he loved her instantly. We will definitely be repeat clients”

“Jenna and Jason did a wonderful job caring for my sweet dog. They were on time, very kind, and asked all the right questions. My dog can be kind of skiddish, but they made her feel very comfortable. I will absolutely be asking them again to watch our sweet pup.”

“Robin accomplished the impossible and walked my anxious rescue and his buddy. I’m so appreciative for her patience and willingness to do a trial run with my dogs. She is very caring and really wants to take the best care of your pets. Robin took extra time to get to know their needs and made sure everyone felt comfortable. Super impressed!”

“By far the best sitter I've ever had. My dog is usually iffy around strangers but Wendy made her look happier than she is around us somehow. She was always on time and took care of our dog just as we would if we were there. If you're looking for a great sitter just book Wendy.”

“Rebekah was super flexible and came on short notice! This was my first time using rover with my pups but she was communicative and responsive and put my worry at ease! She even sent cute pics of my little pups out on their walk! We will definitely be using Rebekah moving forward.”

“Noel was absolutely amazing, she helped me so much with the extra requests I had and stayed till it was all done, very receptive and kind and I’d totally recommend booking with her!”

“She went above and beyond what I needed and was so prompt. My poor dog was sick and needed a check in and she not only did that but played and loved on my pups too! Thanks again!”
“Christina was very professional in all of her interactions with us. She was able to take care of our difficult pet without any extra instruction. She provided regular updates and pictures. While our pet didn’t warm to her as quickly as we’d hoped, we would definitely book her again, she was an absolute delight.”

“Krystal was an incredible pet sitter while I was out of town. She was thorough and communicative, she went above and beyond in caring for our pet family, she sent highly detailed updates and tons of wonderful photos. Highly recommended—especially for anyone anxious about leaving a pet at home.”

“Grace took the time to come meet the dogs before her first visit. She was attentive to our dogs specific needs and even our dog who is more sensitive to new people took to her quickly. Great communicator and easy to work with!”


About: Hi, I’m Rosie! I’m an experienced animal caregiver and I am very passionate about providing safe, loving care for every pet. I’ve known since I was little that I wanted to work with animals, and this opportunity allows me to continue building that path while I’m in college. Through my previous job, I gained hands on experience and a strong understanding that animal welfare always comes first. I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! Since I’m currently taking college courses I am usually online finishing assignments but since I am online I make sure to keep my schedule flexible so I can provide reliable, attentive care for your pet. I’m always happy to communicate and find times that work best for you! Safety and trust are my top priorities during walks and drop-ins. I always ensure collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure before walks and stay aware of our surroundings to keep your dog safe and comfortable. As for drop-ins, I carefully follow your pet’s routine for potty breaks (or ensuring a clean litter box!), feeding, fresh water, and playtime. I double check that doors and gates are secure before leaving and treat your home with respect. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands!

Ansley has watched my cats a few times now, and even my shy cat has warmed up to her! She is very responsive and always does a great job. Both my cats look happy in the pictures sent, and I can tell when I get home that they weren't too stressed while I was gone (thanks to her check-ins!)

Rachel is amazing! Our kitties are usually with us every day at home, and they get pretty sad if we leave them. When Rachel comes, she plays with them and takes care of their basic needs. We received great photos and updates each time. Rachel communicates above and beyond about how your pet is doing and any concerns she notices. As long as Rachel offers this service, I will turn to her. My kitties were well taken care of and were able to handle our absence because of her. Rachel also strives for excellent customer service. If you have a choice to have Rachel care for your furry babies, you will not regret it!

Cameo is the best! She took excellent care of my dog and cat during drop in visits. She followed all instructions, and sent lots of pictures. My pets were happy and healthy when I came home, and they loved interacting with her. I completely trust her with my pets and would absolutely book her again. She’s great!

Our first time using Sidney to watch our dog and she exceeded our expectations! She was kind, reliable, always on time and my dog seemed to really like her! This was the first time in a while that I didn’t feel any stress leaving home because I knew she had everything handled. Will 100% be booking again!!

Bailey is fantastic! She came over for a drop-in visit and my dog took to her immediately—he loved her from the second she walked in the door. She was perfectly on time and super professional. It’s such a relief to find someone reliable who my dog is genuinely excited to see. I’ll definitely be booking again
