About: I have two dogs of my own and have previously worked as a dog-walker, so I am comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments in different environments. My schedule is open all summer! I do share a car with my brother, but that shouldn’t affect my availability too much. I have a few trips planned later in the summer. First and foremost, I always let the animal approach me first. This is important, especially for those more skittish, for building a relationship and making sure the animal is comfortable with me entering their space.
About: I've taken care of dogs for about two years now. I first started when my roommate left for Korea for about a month. I've always had an affinity towards dogs so taking care of his dog made me want to take care of other dogs as well. Ever since then, I've been able to take care of 8 other dogs. Whether it be playing with your pets or walking them around or going potty, I have everything covered! I have time to take care of your pets on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday between the times of 10:30 AM-1 PM and 3:30-7 PM. Also, Saturdays I am free until 6 PM. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. Whether in my home or the client’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and lots of attention. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Ashanti stepped in at the last minute to help with my pup, and she was so easy to with despite the fact that this was our first time booking together! She responded quickly, ensured all was taken care of, and provided great feedback on the visit. Definitely recommend and will be booking with again in the future!”

“Samantha was great with my three-month-old puppy, showing a lot of patience and care. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure he felt comfortable. My puppy took to her right away, and I could tell he enjoyed his time with her. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Carrin was WONDERFULLY playful, responsive, and doting on our Augustus (Gus). She provided amazing photos (so appreciated—who wants to leave their kitten/baby during the day) as well as fun and helpful commentary on his physical/mental state for EVERY check-in. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Erica was great!! We have a shy, slightly difficult older dog and Erica was amazing at being patient with her! She was super responsive and kept me updated on the situation the entire time! Highly suggest!”

“Sara was so wonderful with my energetic pups while I was out of town! She took great care of them and gave them plenty of play time and love during the drop-in visits. She was also great at communicating and sending pictures, which made me feel even more at ease. I highly recommend Sara if you’re looking for a responsible, personable, dog-loving sitter!”

“We recently moved to Texas and finding a good pet sitter was one of my biggest worries. I have 2 cats, one of which needs daily medication. We had our first out of town trip this weekend and Bethany was able to ensure that Mia got her medicine and sent some lovely pictures / updates. Would highly recommend!”
“Jane was great with my cat and sent prompt responses to all of my messages. She gave helpful updates and sent photos and videos, which was appreciated. She was patient with my girl, who is very shy with new people :) thank you, Jane!!”


“Carla is a life saver!!! I went out of town last minute and was in a pinch and she saved the day! She was on time, responsive, and took cute pictures of my baby! Definitely going to be rebooking :)”

“Elizabeth did a great job caring for our cat! He loved having her drop in and they bonded easily. She is also very professional and a great communicator. Elizabeth is trustworthy and will use again.”

“Liz did a wonderful job caring for Millie and Izzy and I'm very pleased with her services! Loyal, trustworthy, hardworking and accountable are a few things that come to mind after meeting Liz for just the second time. Izzy even tried leaving with her! I will defiantly be reaching out to Liz the next time I need a sitter. Thanks again!”

“Joanna did a fantastic job caring for my kitty Maggie! Kept me up to date with how she was doing with screenshots! Joanna was also really friendly and responsive. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”


About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for the past 5 years and currently care for two dogs of my own. Being responsible for their daily care has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to detail. I understand that pets are family, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them when you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their routine. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own and provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a mom, healthcare professional, and dog owner, I’m dependable, attentive, and understand the importance of caring for those who depend on Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. I have two dogs of my own, so feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure everyone is safe and happy are part of my normal routine. Between being a mom, a healthcare professional, and a pet owner, I’m used to caring for those who depend on me. Communication is important to me, and I’ll always be upfront about my availability while making sure your pet receives reliable, attentive care. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires a lot of trust because I feel the same way about my own dogs. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and any special needs so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether that means extra playtime, a slower pace for a senior pet, or simply sticking closely to their routine, I want them to feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands.

“If only I could give 6 stars. Excellent experience with Melinda. My dogs were a little challenging during the visit but she took care of them very well. Melinda is responsive and easy to work with. I would recommend her and keep using her as a Rover.”

About: I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. With a lifetime of experience and a natural connection with animals, I provide reliable and compassionate care. I adore dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. Long walks, belly rubs, enrichment play, calm companionship. I’m attentive to details, respectful of routines. I look forward to meeting you and giving your dog, loving, and dependable care every step of the way. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve intentionally created a schedule that allows me to be fully present. I’m lucky to have both the time and the flexibility it takes to truly dedicate myself to your pet. With a generous schedule, I’m also available on weekends and holidays to ensure your pet is always cared for. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize keeping everything as close to their normal routine as possible. I respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. From feeding and walks to playtime and quiet companionship, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs.
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 7 years. From my own dog to dogs from my local dog park I have walked many breeds and sizes and love all dogs. I am still a student at HPHS, but I have lunch and an off period so I am often free during the day! I am also frequently free on weekends between soccer games. I love to play with dogs and make sure they get the attention and exercise they need. I always make sure they are loved on a lot.
University Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kyle handled some GI issues that our dog was dealing with in the most kind and caring way possible. He kept us updated and cleaned up a couple messes, so we knew how she was doing and didn’t have to worry about her too much! He sent cute pictures of her happy and playing outside and gave her great long walks.

Alexis has been great watching my golden retriever. She was very patient and kind to my dog and gave me detailed updates as the days went on. The reason I chose her was because she has actual vet experience! I cannot tell you how much of a difference that makes. Book with her!!

Zack did a great job dropping in and taking care of our two dogs. He came over beforehand to meet them and made them feel comfortable. During his visit, he took lots of pictures and sent us updates. We will definitely be using Zack again in the future, highly recommend!
