“Dorcas and her family took such great care of Daisy! I loved the photo updates, and they were very thorough in asking for care instructions for Daisy and following them. They were also extremely kind and welcoming.”
“Juan was amazing and flexible… I really appreciated his service and that of Rover. It was my first time using the app and saved me in a pinch. I had to fly and found Juan who was available last minute and came through. My brother dipped off and picked up the dog and said nothing but good things about Juan. Thanks buddy… definitely recommend and will be using him and Rover in the future.”
About: Hi! My name is Sherleen and I love dogs and have always grown up with them. I had a childhood chihuahua that I took care of for over 15 years. I now have a malte poo and a pug that I’ve been raising for over 11 years since before they could be weaned from their mom. You can imagine the nights waking up to feed them like human babies! I’ve picked up doggie accidents that seemed like natural disasters and have groomed and bathed my dogs since having them. I’ve cared for dogs from shelters who have trust issues around humans, dogs with behavioral issues and health issues. This includes giving them routine medication around the clock, dedicating time to gaining trust, or as simple as them needing help cleaning themselves after using the restroom. I own 2 Brachycephalic dogs so I also understand the attention those breeds require. Personally, my pug is allergic to fleas and ticks so my house and yard are flea and tick free for her safety! I am a college student who’s doing classes online this summer and can 100% dedicate attention and care. Dogs are our babies and deserve nothing less! I currently work with students as an orchestra tutor and a coach working with students ranging of ages. I work around schedules for students and I can do the same for people needing pet sitting! As a school district worker I am required to do background checks and fingerprints to be a teacher, I understand having a stranger take care of your dog can be stressful but with this knowledge I hope I can ease some of your minds. As a dog owner it’s only essential to give your dog attention, interaction and above all, patience. Dogs like playing, walking or just chilling with their owners and those things vary between dogs! Some have way more energy than other dogs and it’s important to know what they need especially since they can’t talk for themselves. In my household I have a yard that my dogs stay outside for the majority of the day. When bringing in new dogs, I will keep your dog/s indoors and take care of their needs at all times with me so in the case they’re not used to other pups I have a barrier.

“We had a great experience with Marissa as Jynx’s dog sitter over the holiday. She communicated with us and made sure we knew how Jynx was doing. Jynx can be sensitive to loud noises, and Marissa was incredibly attentive and comforting when Jynx was scared. The pictures she sent of Jynx enjoying herself were such a thoughtful touch and reassured us that she was happy and well cared for. We would happily book Marissa again and highly recommend her.”

My husband and I were going to be out of town for a day and wanted someone to come and check in on our six year old cat with wobbly cat syndrome.

Definitely recommend her as your pet sitter!!”

“Destiny did a great job taking care of our kitties! One of my cats is a senior lady who needs medication and some special attention, and one is an anxious guy who needs emotional support, but I wasn’t worried about them at all! She also sent great pictures every day.”
About: I’ve cared for animals ranging from baby bunnies to horses, so I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. While in college, I helped care for a stranger’s baby bunny for multiple nights, making sure it stayed healthy, comfortable, and properly cared for. I also have experience around horses, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is to stay calm and attentive with animals. I especially love caring for cats and have experience bonding with and sitting for them. Because I run often, I end up meeting a lot of neighborhood cats along my routes, and I’ve always loved taking the time to sit with them, earn their trust, and respect their boundaries. I’m very comfortable around cats with different personalities, whether they’re playful and social or more shy and independent.I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need so they feel safe while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets! My neighborhood is a cat neighborhood and a lot of people love owning cats and at times ask me to care for them. I do own dogs but they are outdoor dogs. If care for cats are needed, I can provide a safe indoor environment for them. I’ve cared for pets from shelters who have trust issues around humans, pets with behavioral issues and health issues. This includes giving them routine medication around the clock, dedicating time to gaining trust, or as simple as them needing help to use the restroom and cleaning them.
About: I would take care of my neighbor’s cats about twice a day when I was 13. They would to request my services on a regular basis for over 2 years. I had a friend’s cat stay at my house for over a month as I cared for him.
“Jada was amazing! When the keycard I gave her wouldn’t work she took the time to go to the leasing office and get it sorted out. She also took wonderful care of my cat and always sent updates. Thank you Jada!”

“Kristina was amazing! I have honestly never been so impressed with a Rover sitter! She was fantastic at sending updates and pictures! I know my pup was treated like one of her own because he was really happy and slept like a baby as soon as he got in the car to be taken home... that to me is a sign that he had a blast hanging out with Kristina and the fur baby fam! We will definitely be back!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, and I’m a true lifelong dog lover. My own precious pup passed away last year, and with my home now a little too quiet, I’m here to give your dog all the love, attention, and companionship they deserve. I speak fluent “dog,” give elite-level belly rubs, and I will absolutely tell your pup they’re a good boy or girl at least 200 times a day. Your dog will be cared for, talked to, spoiled with affection, and treated like family. I’m a retired PE teacher who’s home daily, which means your dog gets my full attention and care all day long. Every now and then, my grandkids come over so I can spoil them just as much as I spoil the dogs—but don’t worry, they’re gentle, respectful, and love animals too. Your dog will be treated like family here. ❤️ I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to explore, plus a pool area that stays secure at all times. My grandkids visit occasionally, and they’re gentle, respectful, and absolutely love animals—so your pup will always be in a friendly, caring environment. I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure they get all the love, attention, and spoiling they deserve. ❤️

“Im so happy with Megan ! She sent me updates on my dog My dog bear is a bit uncertain when meeting new people but at the end he allowed himself to be pet! And my husband said he looked very happy and satisfied! I will be using Megan services again!!! Thank you so much”
“Great with accommodating last minute request. Professional and friendly. Love that they gave a friendly dog that my dog got to play with to not be alone during his stay. Will book again.”
“Naydamar was super friendly and very patient with my dog. He is super shy around new people and she took her time with him. She sent photos and a video of his time with her and he looked like he was having fun. Her dog Milo is super friendly and probably made it an easier transition for my dog. Cooper can’t wait for another play date.”

“The most absolute all in one dog or puppy care an owner can ask for. Professional, loving and caring! A one stop shop for all of your pets needs. I’m a very skeptical and picky person when it comes to care for my loved ones. I felt very comfortable and felt that Blaze was in good hands! No anxiety while at work and plenty of pic's, showing how happy he was while there. I will be using Marissa for all of Blaze’s daycare, boarding, and training needs!”
About: For most of my childhood, I never was allowed to have a pet, despite being so eager to have one. However, I did know many friends and families who had dogs and cats, whom I would visit frequently. I would help feed them, walk them, play with them, give them gentle petting when they were receptive, etc. As a teenager I moved around a lot with my single mother and my younger sister, so I got to live with a few different pet owners: One of my adult roommates had an old senior Shih Tzu. The sweet girl had poor vision and moved slowly, but I did my best to help my roommate and handled her dog with care everyday. Another woman I lived with had two cats; the male was affectionate and friendly, and the female was the feisty and shy one. I approached both very differently, aware of their boundaries, and formed a sweet bond with both :) Then my mother’s friend, who had a bunny! I learned a lot about how to give them healthy and fulfilling lives. Bunnies are very high maintenance, yet admittedly my favorite animal to care for. It’s why I actually ended up having a pet rabbit to spend every day with when I lived with my grandmother for years. I’m now living in a faraway town and unable to see my sweet bunny as often, but I’m most experienced in rabbit care and grooming!! All in all, I get along with most animals, and I find animals of all types just precious, even during the more lackluster aspects of having them. I understand each pet is their own individual with unique needs and I will always be attuned to that. I feed crows and pigeons (not around other animals though), I photograph insects and reptiles… yes, I just love animals and living creatures. I have plenty of money saved, but currently no income coming in because I don’t have a job. This is a way I am trying to make money to continue to save up for life expenses. As a result, I am literally free whenever, haha! I have no defined schedule whatsoever, but I do have routines and a list of hobbies I’d love to pursue in my journal. I get up early in the morning to walk around my neighborhood usually, and I do the same during sunset. The rest of the day depends; sometimes I read non-fiction, other times I head to Lake Evans, or see a live music performance at a cafè. I also dedicate some entire days to activism and fundraisers, so if I’m unavailable to care for a pet I will simply be upfront about that! I have a two story house, and it’s quite spacious! For rabbits or other animals that need an extra danger-proof house, the floors are almost completely free of things that pose any danger (such as sharp objects or accessible wires), and can be blocked off when there are visitors. The house has a mix of smooth wooden and carpeted flooring. I have three roommates, but only one is consistently staying in the house, and spends most time outside of the house. She has expressed permission to allow an animal every once in a while, she is trustworthy, and I would never leave an animal around any other human being unsupervised. The house also has a spacious backyard with high fencing and grass. The neighborhood itself is fantastic for dog walking! There’s a walkway with trees, flower bushes, small fields of grass, and it’s a hotspot for hummingbirds haha.

This experience has taught me the profound bond that can develop between a pet and their caregiver, highlighting the importance of kindness and understanding in every interaction. I’ve also gained experience by showing care and compassion to animals in need around me, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Each animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for them all. My commitment to treating every pet with compassion ensures they feel loved and secure while in my care. I work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily routine seamlessly. This allows me plenty of time to spend with furry friends, playing, cuddling, and ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My schedule enables me to provide a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring that every pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all else. I follow their food schedule diligently to ensure they maintain a healthy routine. Engaging with pets through playtime and interactive activities is essential, as it keeps them stimulated and happy. Since I do not have pets of my own, I can provide a safe and distraction-free environment for them. Living in an apartment allows me to easily take them for walks outside in green areas, where they can explore and enjoy some fresh air. If needed, I can safely crate pets to provide them with a secure space to relax. My home is a welcoming environment filled with love and attention, ensuring every pet feels safe and at ease. Building trust is key, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, creating a positive experience for both them and their owners.
About: I have experience caring for my family’s and other dogs and understand the daily responsibility that comes with keeping pets healthy, safe, and happy. Through caring for them, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and recognizing changes in behavior. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet with patience and attention and will care for your pet the same way I care for my own. I have a golden-doodle at home that I have cared for since she was a puppy, so I have plenty of experience with puppies and super young dogs. I am available all day to meet the needs of your pet's schedule. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I’m used to feeding, walking, exercising, and spending quality time with dogs every day. Because I care for my own pets, I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent schedule and providing attention throughout the day. Because of this, adding pet sitting and dog walking feels like a natural extension of my routine, and I’m committed to providing reliable care and attention to every pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. I will follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care requirements. I will make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I also respect the client’s home, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates (love sending pictures of your pets) so owners can feel confident that their pets are being well cared for.
About: I’ve cared for others pets for almost 10 years including dogs, cats, chickens, and fish. Experienced with young and senior animals, and administering oral and optic medications. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as overnight care if needed. I do occasionally care for other pets, but I’m very mindful with my scheduling to make sure every animal gets the time, care, and routine they deserve. I always prioritize being reliable, communicative, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I stick closely to their usual routine—whether that’s feedings, walks, playtime, or medications—because I know how important consistency is for them. In your home, I’m very respectful of your space and make sure everything stays secure (doors, gates, etc.) so your pet is always safe. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, whether they’re playful, shy, or just want extra cuddles. I’m also experienced with administering oral and eye medications if needed. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your pet is happy, safe, and getting lots of attention. 🐾

Thanks buddy… definitely recommend and will be using him and Rover in the future.”

Jynx can be sensitive to loud noises, and Marissa was incredibly attentive and comforting when Jynx was scared. The pictures she sent of Jynx enjoying herself were such a thoughtful touch and reassured us that she was happy and well cared for. We would happily book Marissa again and highly recommend her.”

I am grateful that Breauna was able to care for my special boy with such care and ease! Would recommend to anyone seeking care for their fur baby! Will definitely book again next time I am by base!”

“Darryl & Janice went above and beyond, truly exceeded expectations! This was our first time ever leaving our dogs with someone and our first time using Rover. They took the time to explain to us how it worked, reassured us with our concerns, they were patient and understanding! But the cherry on top that made this experience AMAZING was the report cards, certificates and bow ties they gave Zeus and Boo! They made this experience feel like they were staying at grandma and grandpas house and were spoiled! Thank you for your kindness and caring for our babies we will absolutely be returning!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Angel is amazing! He took such great care of my dog Pharoah and was very responsive anytime I needed to reach out. I always felt comfortable knowing Pharoah was in good hands. I will definitely continue to use him whenever I need a dog sitter and will recommend him to my family as well.”
“I recently had the pleasure of booking a dog sitter for my pup, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the start, she took excellent care of my dog, providing regular updates that put my mind at ease. It was clear that my dog was happy and well-loved during their time together. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for animals made all the difference. When I picked my dog up, it was evident that she had a great time and was well taken care of. This was my first time using her services, and I will definitely be booking her again for future events. Highly recommend!”
