“This was my first time using Rover and I was pleased with Jessica’s quick response time and enthusiasm to meet and care for Blanca. The process was easy and drop off went smoothly. Jessica’s dog was in a kennel when we arrived to make drop off less stressful for both dogs. The pups were introduced after we left to get their sniffing done on neutral territory (on a walk out front). We received photos and updates during our whole time away and knew Blanca was happy and safe. We would be happy to use Jessica again in the future!”

She communicated and was flexible with drop-off and pick-up, and sent us updates to let us know how Tripper was doing. We would absolutely love to board with her again. We highly recommend her!”

“Alice was amazing! I was so nervous about leaving my dog with someone I did not know but she put me at ease as soon as we met. It was readily apparent that she has a lot of experience with dogs, and the safety and well-being of those in her care is her primary concern. She sent daily photos, videos and updates while I was gone. And it was obvious that Lucky enjoyed himself while he was there. Alice is a kind-hearted and responsible caregiver.

“Jen took very good care of our 2 cats with her drop in visits twice a day. One of our cats is diabetic so she has to be fed 12 hours a part and given an injection after the feedings each time. We asked her with very short lead time and she took the time to come to our house so we could meet her and she could meet our cats before the booking. We appreciated this very much.”

About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart. I have a 10-year-old cat, have helped care for our friends’ cats for years, and recently decided to join Rover. I connect with cats naturally and have always been very attuned to their body language, personalities, and individual quirks. I understand that every cat is different - some want lots of affection and playtime, while others prefer their space and a quiet, reassuring presence. I’m happy to meet your cat where they are and let their personality guide the care I provide. Whether it’s fresh food and water, litter box maintenance, playtime, cuddles, or simply some company, I’ll care for your cat with the same patience, attention, and respect I give my own. I’m organized, reliable, responsive, and detail-oriented. Most importantly, as a cat owner myself who goes on overseas trips twice a year, I know how much peace of mind it brings to know your pet is in good hands. Additionally, while I’m caring for your cat(s), I could: • Bring in mail/packages • Water plants • Put trash/recycling out

“Sara has been such a blessing to our family! Not only is she great with cats, she was a great communicator while we are gone and made leaving our cat- baby so much easier! She sends pictures at every visit, and is very detail-oriented. We felt very comfortable having Sara in our home and will definitely be using her again! Highly-recommend.”

“Geni was wonderful! She came over before we left to meet our cats and took the time to ask lots of questions so she knew exactly how to care for them. While we were away, she sent us regular updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were happy and well cared for. We would definitely use Geni again and highly recommend her!”


“Angie was very responsive and easy to work with! I would absolutely use again. I was unfortunately in a poor service area, creating some communication issues and Angie was very patient and helpful through the process!”


“I felt very at ease having Julia care for my cat and be at my house when I was gone. She communicated well with updates and pictures! She left everything the way I left it. My cat was happy to have her. I would recommend Julia!”

“Morgan was absolutely phenomenal! We have some older cats who require medication and she was a pro! Will definitely be reaching out again the next time we leave town.”

“Emily and Smokey did great. Smokey had been experiencing some gastrointestinal issues and Emily kept me informed as to Smokey's status. She provided photos and spent some time with her Should I travel in the near future, I will request Emily to take care of Smokey”


“Thank you for taking care of our babies!! You did a great job and a fantastic job keeping us up to date hiw Daisy and Kimo was doing!!! They were happy to see us back home. Daisy quickly came to the garage door when she heard us!! And yes you forgot the lunch bag. If you want you can still stop by and pick it up. The alligator Daisy had in the middle of the floor, we don’t recognize it. Where did it come from?”

“I’m traveling for a few weeks. Jessica has been popping by my place and checking on my kitty a couple times a week, feed, watering and scooping litter. She’s very sweet.”

“Emily was excellent with my cat! She kept her very happy, checked in regularly, and sent wonderful pictures. Great attention to detail on all of my cat's needs too!”


About: I have had cats all my life and am very experienced in the needs and wants of a cat. I have old and young cats and with one of my cats being 13 I would say I am especially experienced with cats in their senior years which can be a little bit more difficult. I love cats of all sizes and all ages.

“Sarah was amazing! She was great at keeping in touch and definitely went above and beyond. She even helped shovel after it snowed while I was gone! I would definitely have her watch my babies again :)”

I look forward to rebooking with her the future. thank you so much! Kathy”

“We have a 5 month old Saint Bernard and after trying doggy day care at a commercial kennel, we knew we wanted to try something a little more personal. We chose Scott and his wife for our first experience with Rover, and it was the best choice! We met for a meet and greet before hand and instantly felt comfortable. Scott lives on a quiet street and has a large back yard for the dogs to enjoy. They sent us several pictures during the day of them going on walks and playing with other puppies. It definitely made the experience better seeing him so comfortable in the photos. We look forward to building our relationship with Scott, his wife Jessica and all their puppy friends in the future!”

About: I'd love to be your professional pet sitter! When I'm with your fur baby, they are my full-time concern. I'll send you pictures of your happy pet while you are away. I know animals miss their humans, and I do everything I can to make their stay-cation with me enjoyable while you are away. My clients call my home the Petz Carleton. I am privileged to have so many furry friends return. It does my heart proud when they come running up to my front door for another stay-cation at their home away from home. You can rest assured that no one will give your loved fur baby more attention and better care than I will. Taking care of others' pets so they can relax while they are away is my mission! I'm retired, but I do some freelance writing work, which takes eight or nine hours a week. My writing never interferes with my focus on your fur baby. I walk every day in my beautiful neighborhood and would love to have your pet's company. My schedule is open. I go to Church on Sunday mornings, and feel free to reach out for more references to Mymemos. That is the Yahoo email address that I will respond to. The meet-and-greet we do will be very thorough. I will ask lots of questions about your pet and take notes. I'll also want contact information for you, your vet, and a trusted friend. Once I have that information, your pet will be cared for like you were there. I'll show you where your pet will sleep if they are used to sleeping with mom and dad.
“Meghann was so responsive when we reached out somewhat last-minute and communicated seamlessly while providing care for Monte. Would absolutely recommend Meghann and we’ll be using her again!”

“Rex loves going to daycare at Samantha’s. He really cries on the days he doesn’t get to go. Samantha sends updates through the day including pictures and videos. I never have to worry when Rex is at Samantha’s. I know he is happy playing with his friends and being spoiled by Samantha.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I believe pets are more than companions—they’re family! I cared for my own dog for over 10 years, so I know firsthand the responsibility and everyday care that goes into being a great pet parent. I’m caring, attentive and dependable, and I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality. I’m excited to be your pet’s adventure buddy for walks and playtime, ensuring they feel loved and safe while you’re away. My goal is to provide your pets with the same affection and patience I’d want someone to give my own. As a recent graduate pursuing a full-time career in the sports and design industry, I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule while I build my career. I’m currently completing contract and freelance work online, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the week. This means I have lots of time to dedicate to your pets, whether they need a morning walk, a midday check-in, an afternoon adventure or some extra companionship while you’re away. I’m happy to work around your schedule, providing consistent and dependable care tailored to your pet’s routine and personality. I understand inviting someone into your home and trusting them with a beloved pet is a big deal. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’m attentive to your pet’s routines and personality, and I’ll follow your instructions closely to ensure they are comfortable while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and your space. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, follow any house guidelines you may provide and ensure doors and gates are secure. Most importantly, I believe in clear communication to build trust with both pets and their people. You can feel confident knowing your furry family member is receiving loving and attentive care in a safe environment.

“Jane is the absolute best, she walks out 5 month old Brittany while we are at work and Jane always leaves a message on his walk card about how he did that day. You can really tell she cares about dogs!”

About: With over three years of pet care experience — including time working at a doggy daycare and providing in-home dog sitting — I offer loving, attentive care for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. My goal is to love and care for your pet as much as you do! I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — even those with a few quirks. Although I work full-time Monday through Friday, I always do my best to accommodate your schedule. I’m happy to arrange as many meet-and-greets as you’d like to ensure the perfect fit for you and your dog. For both house sitting and dog walking, I prefer to schedule a couple of meet-and-greets beforehand so your pup can get to know me and feel completely comfortable. With many years of pet care experience, working at a doggy daycare and dog sitting, I provide loving, attentive care for dogs of all kinds.
“Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!”

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life. I began playing a role in walking, and feeding/filling water for my dogs since I was 12. I have also watched my friend’s dogs before by stopping in a few times a day to feed them and give them love! I’m currently working a part-time job, most of the time I work day or night shifts so I do a lot of pet care in between my shifts or on the weekends. At home we use an electric fence for our animals but for others I accompany them outside on leashes. My cat does not do well with other cats without meeting/getting used to them over a period of time.
About: Interacting with animals has always been the highlight of my day. I have a decade of professional experience with pet care, primarily dogs and cats, but small animals and exotics as well. I have a beloved senior dog and a giant day gecko at home, but I grew up around a large range of animals, including dogs, birds, lizards, frogs, rodents and sugar gliders. I also have a bachelor's degree in biology with a particular interest in animals and plants. As a result, I have the experience, knowledge and passion to provide the high-quality care you're looking for. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means that I am able to devote plenty of time and attention to your animals. I will keep in touch with you while your precious pets are under my care, so you won't have to worry about their safety and comfort. I am happy to provide detailed updates and photos of the time they spend with me. I would love an opportunity to work with your family! I'm between jobs right now, so I'm able to provide even more time for your pets. When I do find my next job, I will be sure to give advance notice to any clients potentially affected by the change in addition to updating my profile. I will respect any rules and routines of your household so that you and your pets will be as comfortable as possible. I am always careful when opening doors to prevent escapes and take any specific safety concerns for your individual pets into account.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes small to extra large as well as cats and even some exotic pets. I have been the go to sitter for my friends and family every time they go on vacation. I love caring for animals and can’t wait to help you with yours. I am experienced with animals- puppies to elderly dogs, kittens to elderly cats. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule and can work with what you need. I mostly have open afternoons and Friday through the weekend. While I’m taking care of your pet I will do all I can to assure they are taken care of physically as well as emotionally offering love, play and exercise, whatever it is they need that day. Every pet is different and I will work with you to ensure they are getting what they need from me, walks, pets or play.
“Kent is amazing! He goes above and beyond for my dog. He is an excellent communicator and keeps me informed with anything I may need to know about my dog. He cares deeply for animals and is so trustworthy and genuine. I highly recommend Kent and we are so lucky we found him!”

About: I am fun, I love dogs and know how to handle them properly and good with commands. I am gentle, patient, and love playing ball, frisbee, tug of war, or just cuddle (dependent on dogs preference. I have much experience with special needs dogs for example, neuro issues, and epilepsy and assisting with dogs who need medications. I am a military medic so i am reliable, dependable and fit to take dog for a run if need be. I have a flexible schedule and will take your pup to the dog park or just a long walk if need be. I can work with dogs of all sizes natures and medical needs and have a lot of time to give proper attention to your pets needs,
