“Communicates well, warmed to my cats easily, sent great photos, managed mail and packages without any hitches. Would definitely have her back!”
“Abby was amazing! She was very friendly and easy to communicate with. She went above and beyond, staying past the requested time which I really appreciated. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“Anna did a great job taking care of our pup! She is organized and detail-oriented. She showed up to the meet-and-greet ready to take notes and asked lots of questions. Her professionalism showed that she takes dog sitting seriously and genuinely cares about the pet’s needs.”
“Sally is absolutely fantastic! My dog is very anxious and she really took the time to make sure he was comfortable with her! She goes above and beyond playing with him and snuggling with him. I would absolutely recommend Sally, especially if you have a more nervous dog.”
“Ioana is the BEST! She is so kind, patient and flexible! I highly recommend her to anyone! We will 100% be booking her again to take care of our fur babies 😻😻😻”
“Rachel is a great sitter! Our puppy loves Rachel’s visits and she does a great job playing and getting her energy out. Rachel is very communicative and willing to go the extra mile for your pet. Definitely would recommend her!”
“Isabel is kind, smart, and a true animal lover. She took excellent care of my cat, who requires both force-feeding and oral medication. She was always punctual, sent plenty of pictures and videos, and consistently went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in her care. I will definitely book her again!”
“Super responsive, follows all instructions, does meet and greets, addresses any concerns and tailors care to dog’s needs. Super flexible as well. Thank you for taking care of Doug!”
“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”
About: I have had a dog for the past seven years, as well as my own large aquarium I take care of. I love walking and running with my dog. I also have experience pet sitting for my friend's cat and deaf dog. I have a flexible schedule, working in a lab at OSU. I would spend time with your pets in the mornings and evenings, and may be able to visit them during the day, depending on location. I have lots of experience walking dogs both big and small, and am comfortable controlling large dogs who pull and multiple dogs at the same time.
“Maggie was excellent with my cat who can be a bit shy with new people. Quick, clear communication. Will definitely have Maggie care for my girl again! :)”
“Cindy made my first time using Rover an stress-free experience. I love my cat and I’m always terrified having people that I don’t know watch him. Cindy from the start was so nice and she made sure that he would be taken care of while I was away. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Dylan has taken care of my dog a few times now while I’ve been out of town. Olive is always well taken care of and looks very happy in all of the update pictures Dylan sends!”
“Not only does Sasquatch adore Thea, but she consistently goes above and beyond for us! Yesterday she safely disposed of a dead bird on my lawn so none of the local pets would get into it and get sick. She is the BEST.”
“Jessica was perfect for our need of a recurring daily drop in. Caring, consistent, and reliable. If we are in need of a rover again we will for sure be requesting Jessica again.”
“Sean was fantastic with Lincoln. On time, followed all of the instructions perfectly. Very kind and respectful. Will absolutely use him again when I need help!”

Ioana not only accepted my booking very last minute, but took the BEST care of my babies! Some scheduling issues with evening care resulted in lack of litter clean up, which Ioana promptly addressed and took care of without being a part of original care plan. Great communication, highly attentive, would recommend to anyone!!
Heather is so sweet! She offered a repeat meet and greet when we got our second pup so he could get to know her as well. She was also able to help with drop ins last minute this visit which was so appreciated. She is thorough, asks great questions to ensure good care, and sends photos with her visits! Highly recommend :)
Elizabeth is amazing! She took the best care of my two little kitties, Louie & Quiggy 🐱 She indulged all of their favorite things…playing in the backyard, treats on treats, and all the pets. She was very communicative and sent me so many pictures. I loved all the updates. They made me feel like my kitties were in good hands while I was away. I cannot recommend her enough.
Olivia is super cool and will be our go-to for future dog sitting. She did a great job at documenting her time spent with our dog. The documentation enhanced the quality of our vacation because we knew our dog was being taken care of, and we didn’t have to worry at all. 10/10 😎
Rachel has watched my active, social cat twice now. I think both bookings were rather last minute and I appreciate how flexible and communicative she is. But more importantly, my cat loves her! He is more relaxed and less anxious when I return than when I've have other sitters watch him in the past. Highly reccommend!
Savannah took excellent care of my dogs! Both are rescues and one has some behavioral issues due to his past; Savannah was great and made a lot of progress with him in only two short visits. My dogs are not the most trusting and both were friendly and at ease with her right away.I would highly recommend her!
Taylor was prompt in her replies, even when I did a last minute booking! She was great with the kiddos, they were taken care of very well. My dog Vali got nice walks and lots of pets. Taco, my cat definitely appreciated the timely meals 😆, churu treats ☺️ and play time. Definitely will continue with her for future bookings.
Mackenzie was great at communicating with me about my cat and leaving notes on his check-in card about what they did that day. She was very nice and she scooped his litter and everything for me as well. I would definitely use her again and would recommend her to any one!
