“Hannah is truly amazing! Her warmth and compassion could be felt from the second we started communicating. I can’t say enough about her and the great care she gave to our girl. She creates a welcoming, well-structured environment that caters to her clients needs. We feel so lucky to have found Hannah and would highly recommend her to anyone needing loving care for their dog.”
“Prithvi and Varun were truly great!! This was our first time using Rover, and we were unsure of the whole process. Prithvi walked us through everything, we had a great meet and greet, and they were so responsive. We just finished our booking and every day we got updates and pictures, and immediate responses. I felt so comfortable having my dog with them, and plan on using them again. Very positive and great experience!”
“Our dogs were returned in good condition (though they each had gorilla tape embedded in their fur which they had managed to chew off of Michelle’s crate liners - sorry Michelle!). Michelle is an experienced sitter who has specific processes in place which she clearly communicates. The daily feedback messages and pics were timely and detailed which we appreciated. We would have our dogs stay with Michelle again.”

“Stephanie was great! Very easy to communicate with (and flexible with our flight schedules for Drop off and pick up times) and we felt like Leo was being taken care of so well. Definitely eased our minds having Leo stay with her while we were gone. We also got so many cute pictures of him during his stay! We would definitely have her watch Leo again!”

“Bailey stayed with Cecilia for the fourth time this weekend. He was excited to arrive at her house and obviously felt comfortable the moment we walked in the door. Cecelia sent multiple updates and pictures each day we were gone. She had no trouble giving him his pills. Cecelia is extremely communicative. We are so thankful to have someone we can leave Bailey with whom we trust! It makes traveling so much less stressful.”

One of the dogs was licking his paw alot and she provided care for him. She kept us informed and we were confident of her care. We are so thankful and will definitely recommend her with your dog.”

“Sarah was great! She sent me multiple pictures of my kitties at every visit. Great communicator. She kept the cat areas very tidy. My cats were played with at every visit. We will definitely ask her back when we need a cat sitter.”
“Karina is truly the ultimate cat lover. She sent pics and videos of the love of my life while I was out of town. She’s kept me up to date and I know she loved on my Gavriel as much as I would if I were at home. Made me feel at peace knowing he was cared for in such a great way!”

About: I've had cats for over 20 years now. I've recently had to put my finicky tortie girl down and currently still have a male tabby. I'm used to different temperaments, needs, medications and personalities. I'm happy to help out and watch your cat and give them some TLC while you're away!
About: I have a lot of experience with cats as I grew up having at least 2 in the house.. At one point we had four cats and a yorkie. I have experience giving eye drops, ear drops, oral medication and insulin shots. A routine schedule is important!
“Brianna took care of my cats while my fiancée and I were out of town. It’s a bit difficult to find sitters that can administer oral medicine to cats, and Brianna was able to meet the task, give love to my 2 cats and make sure their area was well kept. She responds quickly to texts as well. If you need a cat sitter, I would recommend her to any client!”
“This is the first time that Jessica has taken care of my cat. I am so pleased with the care she gave him and I am ready to rebook for my next trip. Jessica showed up as I requested, spent time with my cat, sent me pictures and notes on the visit, then locked up when she left. I’m so happy I chose Jessica for my cat care.”
“All went very well. Appears my cats were perfectly attended to as expected. I suspect Carl managed things I had forgot to instruct. Will definitely try to rebook Carl on next opportunity.”
About: I have personally had cats for 22 years. I have experience giving meds as well and caring for cats with medical issues such as arthritis and asthma. They truly are fascinating creatures with fun personalities. In my bldg we have a lot of pets and we all help each other.

“Rebeckah is the sweetest pet sitter I have ever met! She made my first time using Rover so wonderful, and I look forward to the next time my kitties can have a play date with her. She was very attentive towards any special needs/care that our pets need. One of my boys is usually very afraid towards humans, but it seemed otherwise with the photos I got from Rebeckah :)”

About: My journey with Rover began approximately 8 years ago and it's been a delight to meet and care for furry babies when their parents were in need of a responisible and trusted caretaker. At that time, my Lola, was just as excited to befriend and play with pals. As my Lola grew older, she developed medical issues and my attention and all the time I could give,was directed only towards her. Therefore, I took a pause to spend time with her and give her all I could. Her time, to join the rest of angel friends, came on December 17th, 2025. I came back to Rover simply because I miss the company of the most pure soul and my best friend of 13 years. I know how important it is to leave your pet in good care, cater to your best friend just as your own family and hope to meet them soon.
“Andy was awesome! He took our last minute request in stride and was extremely friendly and professional. We got the perfect amount of picture updates and our doggo clearly had a fantastic day!”

“Prithvi has been absolutely wonderful from the start of our communication, to the meet and greet, and to caring after Penny today while our caregivers are still out of town. I felt very comfortable leaving Penny with Prithvi and her new friend Loki. Thank you for the updates, pictures and videos.”

“So happy to have found Marta. The Meet and Greet was great, it was comforting to know that Kenzie would be in an environment similar to home, which is exactly what I was looking for. I used Marta for daycare a few days and it was so sweet to receive updates and pics. I already rebooked Kenzie for boarding!”
About: Myself and my husband Dan have been doing Rover and caring for dogs for a few years on and off. We both grew up with dogs so have had many years caring for them. We have cared for puppies as well as senior dogs. Myself and Dan’s days are very flexible and we will have plenty of time to feed, play with, and walk dogs at any hour on the days of the week I am available. Dan works from home full time and I only go into the office 2 days a week. We have a fenced in yard. We do not have a dog of our own so your dog will get all of the attention! We have plenty of room to fit a crate if necessary. We also have a gate to fence off the upstairs part of the house if necessary as well.
“D’Artagnan is a great provider for our boy and made sure to send us updates every once in a while to let us know he was doing alright. Reassuring and understood things our boy couldn’t eat or do. Overall very satisfied and believe our boy had a great time.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 10. I have had a big and small dog in my life. I have walked, play dates, overnight watched with other people's cats or dogs. I have also fostered 3 dogs in the past who have been adopted into loving homes. I am currently a stay at home mom. We take pups for walks. We love them like they are our own pets. We make sure that the pups have a lot of playtime inside or outside to keep them engaged. I have a fenced yard for all the running and zoomies your pet needs. I have a walk in shower and tub if needed. I also have baby gates if needed.
“Allis and her family were great with my doodle who has separation anxiety. My dog gets so excited when she sees Allis at drop off and she settles quickly at her house. Great communication and updates with photos and videos of my girl.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (16 and 9) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!
“Daphne had a fabulous time with Svitlana! I was somewhat of a nervous wreck since my dog was attacked a few months ago by another dog and Svitlana was attentive to our needs and made sure Daphne still had a great time! HIGHLY recommend her!”

“Cathy is incredible! Right from the start, she offered to come meet my dog ahead of time and as soon as she walked in I knew she would be a great fit. She took the time to play with him, pet him, and let him get to know her. As a result, when she arrived to pick him up for his walk, he was happy to see her! This extra care to getting to know my dog (and letting him get to know her!) is so appreciated - especially since I have had other walkers give up on him. I would recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a caring and compassionate sitter or walker.”
“Sarah has been to our house for a meet and greet and a walk with my two dogs. She has been great with communication prior to and following both appointments. She also had a wonderful way with my polar opposite personality dogs. She gave my people-timid boy the space he needed to feel comfortable and trusting while engaging yet supporting the appropriate boundaries I need to practice with my overly exuberant girl. I'm looking forward to Sarah spending more time at my house caring for my sweet best pals.”

“This was my first time using the app. Leanne helped me on short notice, was communicative and polite, and had an easy time walking Fesic. Will definitely be reaching out to her first next time I'm needing help.”
“Carly is amazing! Our dogs Cooper and Mateo love her. She is friendly, easy going, excellent communicator and kind. I’ve had a difficult time navigating the app and she’s been so patient and helpful. During the meet and greet we were able to share specifics about what we are looking for and she has met all of our pups needs. I have rebooked her and will continue to rebook with Carly! You have been a life saver Carly! Thank you!”
“Shannon has been amazing with our dog Jeter! She has been extremely responsive with messages and also very patient and loving with our girl as she is a senior pet! If you want a kind and caring person to look after your pets, Shannon is your person!”
About: I’ve owned dogs for 16 years and have experience dog sitting and walking for friend’s pets. I am accustomed to small dogs, but I do have experience with large dogs as well! My schedule varies from day to day, so let’s find some times that can work for you. Available to do walks, drop-ins and overnight stays. Open lines of communication are important to me. I want to make sure your pets are being taken care of based on what their routines or needs are.
“Carl really has a lot of patience. My Emma girl is a very stressed out dog. Hope in time she loosens up and Carl becomes her best friend… of course after her Mamma. Thank you Carl for giving her love and attention.”
About: I’m a dedicated and loving pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and needs—including my own big reactive German Shepherd, who is truly the star of my life. Through daily care, training, and attention, I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, structure, and what makes pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I recently moved to the area, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to give pets the attention, consistency, and care they need. I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so they feel secure and cared for—whether in my home or yours, or a walk.
About: I began taking care of family dog at 10. He lived 2 more years and I still miss the brute. Later in life owned and cared for many dogs as well as a foster parent for MLRR for labs which was a great experience. This would be my only job and main focus. My availability is on weekdays, weekends or overnight. Cant wait to start and become your go to dog caring resource. If used i would treat your canine as my own. You can count on me to be as responsible as the dog parent(s). I am very resourceful, compassionate and respectful.
“Kenyale is amazing and Marty (my 5 month old puppy) loves her!! Very professional and reassuring when it came to walk updates. I’ll definitely be requesting her services again in the future!”
About: I am a reliable, responsible and attentive sitter. I love animals so always make sure they ate and have play time. I understand every dog has different needs so am always sure to follow directions owners give me. I work from home so will be with the dog/cat I am watching for the majority of the day.
About: The dogs I have taken care of have always received excellent tlc. I am able to use commands, for example sit, stay, and place! I have experience with senior dogs administering oral medication. I will keep a close eye on the geriatric dogs and make sure they don’t have any issues. I am very flexible when it comes to caring for pets. I’ll be able to get to the pets as soon as I get off of work. If I don’t work then I’ll usually be open all day. I work 7a-3p. I’m off Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Unfortunately I cannot provide boarding in my apartment because it’s a 2 pet policy. When I’m in the clients home I’ll let the pet roam freely. I will also pick up after they do their business. I feel that a dog and human bond is really unbreakable, so I will be comfortable with any pet that I connect with. I’ll also need to know where things are, I.e food, treats, leash.

One thing I really liked was that he is always quick to address any mischievous behaviors that comes from too much excitement. He also sent me daily photos, which was reassuring. As someone who used to dog sit on Rover, I have high expectations. Dartagnan and his partner have exceeded them. Will definitely book with them again the next time I’m out of town.”
