Jessica took care of my dog Iommi for a long weekend while I traveled out of state for my brother's wedding. It was my first time leaving Iommi and Jessica was the perfect person to leave her with. I was admittedly anxious about leaving Iommi for the first time, but as soon as I arrived the morning of drop-off Jessica made me feel 100% at ease. She took care of Iommi like she was her own and I know Iommi had a great time staying with Jessica and her family and playing with her dog Rip. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!

Alivia was an amazing sitter for Ares! She was incredibly attentive and made sure he had everything he needed while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos, which kept me completely in the loop and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I could tell Ares was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Alivia to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!

Jessica did an excellent job with little B and he came home happy and healthy. He can’t settle down without his dog bed, so we were glad we could leave it with him. We also brought his food and water bowl. Jessica was professional, competent, and caring. Five star rating, for sure! We will definitely use her again.

We just returned from a 2 week trip, and Cory provided care for our 5 cats. He did a fabulous job! 3 of the cats were elusive, but the other 2 warmed up to him. He saw to all of their needs, and also fed the birds and squirrels for us. He did all we asked of him, and I was confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend Cory, and will reach out to him for future needs. Thank you, Cory for the great job.

Nejra gave our two cats wonderful care for the six days she cared for them. One of the cats is diabetic, so Nejra had to stop twice a day approximately 12 hours apart to feed them and give one cat her insulin. Asking for care at 6:30 AM and again at 6:30 PM is a big ask, but Nejra showed up each day at those times! Their litter boxes were cleaned and Nejra provided pictures and details on how they were eating twice a day. She even took the time to give them pets each time she was here. I highly recommend Nejra and I will be using her service again! i

She was timely and consistent in her drop ins and took some really awesome pictures of them playing and snuggling - be warmed right up to her from the moment he was around her. We will schedule with her again when we have another need to be out of town.

About: Pets are the best things in the world! I’ve grown up with my own pets and nothing makes me happier. I have pet sat 30 pets in my time and I’d love to watch yours too! I’ve even fostered 3 dogs in my own home, all of which have been adopted. Adding a pet is just an extra step to everyday routine and I’d love to share all my love with them too! I work full time, but again pets are family! They are something you cater to everyday and make time for no matter what. Everyone has their own needs and so do pets, so I will be make sure they are well taken care off based off each individual need. I have a fenced yard, no other pets in the house (as of now). Depending on the dogs needs/ owners wants I can accommodate to what is needed!

About: I have personally had a pet or 3 since I was 13 years old. I begged for a cat for years and once I got one, I never have been without at least one pet. I have been volunteering with the ARL since 2005. I have had 30+ foster dogs through them as well. I just love animals. I do have weekends blocked but just ask about availability! I am retired. I enjoy going for walks with dogs and depending on the dog spending time outside in my fenced in backyard. I have a 6 foot fence. Your dog will have the ability to be part of our family and our family pets are on our furniture. We do separate our home animals, fosters and house guests at night. The "regulars" get to sleep in our beds while our guests get other accommodations. It makes for better harmony for us. Because we foster on a regular basis our animals are very used to different dogs coming into our home. Our home is pretty quiet and relaxing.

Samantha is amazing! So are her pets! We booked last minute and she was so willing to work with us! She is very responsive, will get back to you quickly. She sends lots of videos and pictures throughout your pets day! Your pet will get plenty of exercise if you book with Samantha! We have already booked another week with her! My ONLY negative with her would be Ollie is definitely going to miss his friends! ☺️

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: 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: Hey there! I’m Rachel and I’ve had a family dog for as long as I can remember. But now I have a family of my own- my partner and I have 4 kids and a mini zoo with 1 bunny, 2 ball pythons, 1 bearded dragon, 2 dogs, 4 cats, 6 mourning geckos and 6 aquariums with fish, snails, dwarf crayfish and shrimp. So, I have a lot of experience with a wide range of animals. Since I’ve started pet sitting on Rover I’ve also gained experience with raw feeding cats and dogs, chicken wrangling, mini home repairs, tree moving, raspberry picking and goose whispering. I used to volunteer every day at the local animal shelter while I was in highschool where I got tons of experience with all types of dogs and frequently helped out the neighbors with their escape artist husky! I previously worked as an assistant dog trainer. I’ve gotten tons of experience with how to better read animal’s body language, create and maintained presence control and facilitate healthy play. While most of my experience is with dogs, I am a true animal lover. One of the biggest perks of having me as your sitter is that our whole family helps take part. My 15 year old, Bella, is usually heavily involved in the care of the animals we sit. My other 3 younger kids also absolute love to take care of and play with all the animals. If your pets like to hang out and play with kids, get attention all day long… your pets are in for a treat with us! (For boarding) We truly strive to give dogs a home-away-from-home experience where they just jump right into our routine. Most of the time they end up sleeping in bed with one of our kids, playing with us outside, getting loves on the couch- all the stuff a family dog can expect. We stand proudly in our family beliefs of qualify pet care and don’t want to be a boarding spot where they put your animal in a kennel, let them out twice a day and charge you extra for playtime or potty breaks. We do generally keep our own dogs separated from our rover dogs just for everyone’s safety and ease. For repeat dog clients that we know well & think would play well with our dogs, we do let them play together. We have a neighbor who lets us use their fenced in quarter acre yard so we do a little meet and greet there in neutral territory. (For pet sitting at home): We do come and go more often when we are sitting pets at their own home but we still make it a family affair. We make sure to drop-in frequently to check on them, feed them, let them out and play with them! Bella loves to hang out with our pet clients and play with them. Sometimes I bring a different kiddo to stay the night with me each night so that they all get a chance to give individual attention to the animals we are watching. We also watch over the house and property. At one pet sit, there was a storm that ran through and a massive branch broke into the pet parent’s driveway, front yard, sidewalk and street! After we notified the owners, Bella and I got it moved out of the way of the street and sidewalk so the pet parents didn’t have to worry about it until they got home. We understand that pet sitting is more than just watching the pets at home and we like to provide a holistic approach. My wife, Leigh also cleans and manages houses when she isn’t at home with our kids. She was the manager and trainer at a locally owned high-end home management company for many years. If you want your house cleaned or you have an organizational project you want completed while you’re gone, let me know! Leigh would be happy to chat with you, figure out what you’re wanting accomplished and get it done while you’re gone. She’s got a plethora of clients who continue to be impressed with her work and ask her to come back as proof of a job well done- so it’s not just my (possibly biased) opinion. 😉 WINTER UPDATE : I have carefully curated my locational availability to be where I am comfortable taking care of pets. I do still accept clients outside of that area if we can manage it BUT I do plan to charge an additional $10+ for clients who are outside of our Rover limit to account for extra gas & travel time. Winter adds extra stress with the extra hazards of driving on snowy and icy roads and the extra time of scraping my vehicle off, driving slower, etc. Please keep in mind with any pet sitter (for house sitting or boarding in particular) that you are literally paying them to be working & on-call, driving to and from your home for many hours & compare that to what you expect from an hourly job. 🤍 I try to keep my prices as reasonable as I can while also respecting and protecting myself. I work as a school bus driver primarily so it leaves my summer & most major holidays pretty open! When I am at work my wife is usually home with some or all of the kids, so even when I’m busy- we have the ability to care for pets. I am pretty flexible but my main priority is making sure I am respectful of your space as much as I would want someone to be respectful of mine. Taking photos and communicating heavily with pet parents is top priority for me. If you wish to have less communication, just let me know so I don’t send too many cute pictures of your pets! I know what a big deal it is to leave my pets in the care of someone else and as a result, I take the responsibility very seriously myself. We have a very large unfenced yard. We do not use any pesticides on our yard to protect the environment and animals of all kinds. 🌎🐝🦋 In the warm months, you’ll see lots of native plants, wildflowers and butterflies in our yard as a result. Please note: While we welcome pets of all kinds, we do not allow pet parents into our home. We want to make sure we are protecting the privacy and security of our children and their space. Also: we have 4 kids (see: mini-zoo reference above) it can be a mess up in here sometimes! 🤣

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up around dogs, have two of my own, and have also spent time fostering dogs—so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs from all kinds of backgrounds, including those who may need a little extra patience, attention, or love. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to your dog’s unique needs—whether that means long walks, playtime to burn energy, or a calm, comforting environment. My fostering experience has taught me how to read different behaviors, adapt quickly, and help dogs feel safe and at home. You can expect regular updates, clear communication, and peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and strive to make their time with me fun, stress-free, and full of love. I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give your dog plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m able to prioritize their needs—whether that’s sticking to a specific routine, getting outside for walks, or just providing companionship so they’re never left alone for long. My flexible schedule also means I can easily adapt to what works best for your pet, helping them feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home. I’m great at adapting to each dog’s unique personality and energy level. If your pup is high-energy, I’m always happy to go on long walks, runs, or have active play sessions to keep them happy and engaged. If they’re more of a couch potato, I’m just as content slowing things down—whether that means relaxing together, giving plenty of pets, or simply keeping them company. My time as a foster dog mom has given me experience with all kinds of temperaments, from shy and nervous to energetic and playful. I’ve learned to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s needs, always taking the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. My goal is to meet every dog where they’re at so they feel understood, supported, and truly cared for.

I’ve even fostered 3 dogs in my own home, all of which have been adopted. Adding a pet is just an extra step to everyday routine and I’d love to share all my love with them too! I work full time, but again pets are family! They are something you cater to everyday and make time for no matter what. Everyone has their own needs and so do pets, so I will be make sure they are well taken care off based off each individual need. I have a fenced yard, no other pets in the house (as of now). Depending on the dogs needs/ owners wants I can accommodate to what is needed!

About: Caring for people and pets comes naturally to me. I worked in nursing for several years before leaving to care for my father full time.between that and being a mom giving love and care comes easy. I have 3 dogs of my own, all of which are friendly and love a bit of play time. I am a big believer in fresh air and exercise. Let's get those steps in for your 4 legged family member. I don't work a regular job, I care for my elderly father and do some side work here and there. So I am available for walking or drop in visits at a moments notice. I have a fenced in yard and food and treats at the ready. Many leashes and brushes and more. I have 3 dogs of my own that love to play with each other and yours too. I can also keep my dogs away if yours isn't socialized to others.

Jessica took care of my dog Iommi for a long weekend while I traveled out of state for my brother's wedding. It was my first time leaving Iommi and Jessica was the perfect person to leave her with. I was admittedly anxious about leaving Iommi for the first time, but as soon as I arrived the morning of drop-off Jessica made me feel 100% at ease. She took care of Iommi like she was her own and I know Iommi had a great time staying with Jessica and her family and playing with her dog Rip. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!

I think Bella settled in happily at Traci’s home which was a huge relief for me while away. Traci sent messages and photos while I was vacation which was so thoughtful. Thank you for caring for my little girl.

Jessica did an excellent job with little B and he came home happy and healthy. He can’t settle down without his dog bed, so we were glad we could leave it with him. We also brought his food and water bowl. Jessica was professional, competent, and caring. Five star rating, for sure! We will definitely use her again.

Loved having Karina watch Sunny while we were out of town. She was super communicative and sent lots of photos. I knew our pup was in great care and didn’t worry about her at all. Will definitely rebook! Thank you Karina! 🐾

Robbie and her family were amazing with Tripper! They took excellent care of him while we were away and he was so comfortable with them. We are looking forward to more playdates and sleepovers with Buttercup in the future.

We had another amazing experience with the incredible care that Tanya and her family provided our dog Baxter while we were out of town. We cannot say enough good things about how she cares for our dog. Thank you once again Tanya !!!

Thank God for people like Lucia took excellent care of my boys, cash and Covid! I really like the fact that she sent me pictures almost every day of my cats! I’m a very particular person and I highly highly recommend her. I was called into work and had to travel. She accepted them even though I was super last minute.

I think Missy has got to be the best sitter my dog Bella has ever had. Not only did Missy welcome the challenge of a spicy chihuahua but she mastered it. By the end she let her hold her! And if any of you are owners of little anxious dogs you know this is a big deal!! Missy also did a great job communicating with us and sending tons of photos which we appreciated. Having Bella stay with Missy made us feel at ease, allowing us to enjoy our trip to the fullest knowing Bella was in good hands. Would highly recommend booking with Missy and I’m sure Bella looks forward to her next visit!

Jordana was amazing with my dogs. I received great communication and pictures while I was away on my trip. She provided excellent care for my dogs and showed them so much love! I just got back today and am already requesting her for my next trip! Thank you, Jordana!
