“Nora is great. Kia is an older dog and set in her ways. Nora was so patient with her and took top notch care of her. I got daily updates. Kia wouldn’t eat for the first couple of days and Nora found a solution to get her to eat. Your dog is in good hands with Nora.”
“Great experience and so very thankful to her for fitting me in during holiday times. This was my first time using the Rover app and I would definitely use Tawny again!”
“Madison was wonderful and flexible. First, we were able to modify our dates before the trip. Second. We ran into traffic on our way home and Madison was able to watch our dog for extra tune until we got home. We got picture updates and our dog was happy.”
“We are so grateful for the care Matthew and Ellie gave to our dog Marla. This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous. Matthew and Ellie let us come to their home to see everything and how more the would feel at their place. They are very open and respectful. Marla had a wonderful time they provided daily pictures. They were very responsive to any messages. They were in constant communication with us and were also very flexible when we needed to extend marvelous care. We are very pleased with how everything went and will definitely be using them again in the future. I especially appreciated how they seemed to not just see this as a job, but actually enjoyed having Marla as part of their family.”
“Chelsea did a fabulous job taking care of our dog. We also appreciated her quick communication and willingness to watch our dog as a last minute booking and to add on a day when we wanted to extend our trip. Highly recommend.”
“Celsei and “team” were amazing!! Rudi had fun!! It’s like he was on vacation too with his new friends!! We are from out of town so having Rudi stay with Celsei was a blessing. She communicated regularly which was wonderful peace of mind. When we come back, Celsei will be our first pick!!”
“Alex watched our Jolene for a week this time, we always love having her stay with him. She’s always so happy to see him and Benny and Magnolia. We were able to be away with confidence that she was being well looked after.”
“Mary Jane is one of my close colleagues and has always shown a genuine care for her animals. This made me comfortable enough to ask her to watch my 9 year old Shih Zu/Lhasa Apso mix. I needed someone to watch him while I was out of town for class and a job interview. Mary Jane happily accepted my request, even opening her schedule to days she originally did not have availability. She followed all my directions for the keeping and care of Max. She sent me daily updates and pictures which helped me feel that Max was safe and happy. Her home is set up perfectly, allowing Max to have his own private room if he wanted. But luckily he enjoyed the company of her loving cats and dogs. When I came to pick up Max you could tell he was well cared for. He was in no rush to leave! With that said I am comfortable leaving Max with Mary Jane any time now. He loved her the entire visit and I recommend anyone looking for a sitter to check out Mary Jane. She is honest, trustworthy, and so kind. You can’t help but to feel at ease with her services. Thanks Mary Jane!!!”
“We had a great experience with Mariah! She took amazing care of Goose and kept us updated with thoughtful, detailed messages the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really paid attention to his routine, behavior, and little quirks. Goose got plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and we came home to a happy (and tired!) pup. We would absolutely trust her to watch Goose again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: Hello! My name is Savannah and I am a postdoctoral researcher in the biology department at IU. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and more). I have experience with small and large dogs, hyperactive/nervous dogs, as well as senior dogs so you can be assured that I know how to handle just about any dog personality. I am very responsible, considerate and dedicated to making sure your pets are happy and healthy. I consider it an honor to be welcomed into your pet’s life and take my job very seriously. Please feel welcome to ask me any and all questions you might have. Thank you so much for considering me! I cannot wait to hear from you and your pet! I have fairly flexible working hours as I largely can make my own schedule. I am available during the week and weekends as well as holidays. I have a fenced in yard if you would like your pet to stay with me, but I am also happy to take them for walks in addition to letting them play in the backyard. I have three dogs of my own that are all very friendly and I have ways to separate dogs from each other if need be so they don’t all have to interact at the same time.
“She was amazing there dog aurora is so cute and friendly. My dog had the best time and came home absolutely exhausted will definitely have them as my first choice for all bookings”
“Trista did a great job with our girls as always. She sent photos and daily updates to us so we knew how the girls were doing. She had them all packed up and ready to go for us when we got there. We will definitely continue to use her as our dogs’ sitter.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and understand that some animals need special care. I live in a quiet neighborhood with great walking paths! I work a Monday through Friday normal schedule, going into work around 6am and coming home around 3pm each day. I love going on morning, afternoon, and evening walks with my dog, Toby, and he loves to run around our backyard too. Weekends are meant for fun! Sometimes we go to the dog park or a walk through downtown. I care for them by giving them attention, sticking to a nice schedule, and understanding that every animal is different in their own, unique way. Some require more care, others are very chill like my own dog!
“Kelly was absolutely amazing. My dog Luna stayed with her for a week and Kelly kept me updated regularly and took great care of Luna. I will use Kelly’s services again and would highly recommend others to do so.”
“Maddie had such a good time with Isabella! She was so gentle and caring, and made sure Maddie got plenty of walks and attention. I highly recommend her- she'll take great care of your pets and put your mind at ease.”
“Deborah and Cheesney are amazing!! I can’t say enough positive things to express this! My 2 dogs (one is a puppy) loved their time there. Deborah is so understanding, accommodating, and flexible! She took superb care of them and I can’t wait to use her again!”
About: I’m currently a Junior in college and I miss my dogs at home, which is what made me want to become a sitter on rover. I have two bernedoodles at home. One is 4 year old and one is 6 months old, so I’ve had experience training both of them and caring for both of them. I also walked a neighborhood golden doodle frequently in high school. Last summer I nannied a family with an adorable pitbull that I cared for in addition to the children. I also had a golden retriever growing up for 12 years. I love all ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I have a summer class from 9-12 every morning, but other than that I can be home all day. I spend most of my time studying at home, but love to go for walks as study breaks and I live a very active lifestyle, which dogs would fit into perfectly. I also love being outdoors and I live alone so I’d love the company of a furry friend. It really depends on the client and how they want me to care for their pet. I want to do as much as I can to make their dogs feel at home and at ease. I’ve seen how hard it is for my own dogs back at home to adjust to a new environment, so I want to provide a healthy environment for other people’s dogs. When I get clients I make sure to ask them about their dogs routine, so I can do my best to mimic that.

About: I have been around cats my whole life. I’ve made friends with the cats that others say, “oh she’s not too fond of people” like magic! And I’ve given oral medications to cats handfuls of times.

About: I've had a dog for as long as I can remember. I've watched over dogs for neighbors, friends, and family. I have had all sorts of pets from cats to dogs to birds. All have been lovely companions and precious members of my family. Each one has held a special place in my heart! ☺️ As a student living away from home, I deeply miss the daily joy of caring for dogs. Back home, I looked after an Australian Shepherd and a terrier mix, so I am very comfortable managing high-energy breeds and keeping them happily exercised. I also raised a sweet coonhound/basset hound mix, giving me a soft spot for gentle hounds. I am excited to bring that same love, patience, and dedicated care to your fluffy family members! My priorities for pets are Hygiene, Routines, and Care. Making sure pets are clean and comfortable, well fed, and well rested is most important! Ultimately, you know your furbaby best, so I am always completely open and attentive to any specific instructions or routines you request!
“Ashli was great with our dog! She arrived early for a meet & greet and was very patient with our loud demand-barker. He was very comfortable, and we're very happy to have found someone we can trust to take care of him while we're away.”
About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets when you are not able to. I myself have grown up with dogs my whole life and would pet sit my neighbors animals all the time. Now, I have my own little zoo of 2 dogs, 3 cats, and some geckos. I spent one year in a vet tech program so i know the basics of animal medicine, 6 months taking care of the marine mammals at Shedd Aquarium, and I also have a bachelor's degree in Zoology. I understand it is hard to leave your pets unattended for hours on end and stressful when you come home to an accident but they can't help it. I want to help alleviate that stress for you and your pet by giving them the best care possible. I can only provide check-ins and walking services. I am looking for some supplemental income to help support my little family. I have a 3 year old and an 8 month old but have recently gotten a full time job in the Bloomington area. I am available during early evening hours and weekends. They are family so they get treated with respect and love and I will treat yours like I treat mine to make sure they are happy and living their best life.
About: Hello! My name is Mirte (pronounced meer‑tah), and I’ve been caring for pets professionally for several years now. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and a goofy beagle named Mylo, and I adore them both like family. That same level of love, patience, and attention is what I bring to every cat I care for. Before pursuing social work I originally planned to become a veterinary technician, so my love for animals runs deep. Cats have always held a special place in my heart. Whether your kitty is shy, social, playful, or independent, I connect in a way that feels right for them. 🐈🧶 My schedule is very flexible right now since I’ve just wrapped up my internship, and I offer everything from drop‑ins to overnight stays. I always prefer meeting in person beforehand so you and your cat feel completely at ease. I’d love to connect and support you however I can; your pet’s well‑being truly matters to me.
About: I’ve had cats all my life from Persians to Himalayans to Rag Dolls to Maine Coons to Domestic Short Hairs to Tabbies to Siamese, just to name a few. I’ve had them from kittens to old grouchy sweeties. I’m perfectly respectful of some cats’ boundaries and preference for space, but I’ll be around with wet food and maybe a couple cat treats to hopefully gain their trust. Being a cat lover all my life, I care about these amazing animals deeply. I’m no stranger to cleaning litter boxes, hair balls, or giving them medications.
About: I’ve taken care of fur babies for as long as I can remember. I have also volunteered at the shelter. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats of my own that I rescued and adore. Animals have a special place in my heart. I currently work a full time job but now that my children are grown I have evening time Monday-Friday after 5:00pm and every weekend open. I can provide any and all necessary care for your pet. Feeding/watering, litter cleaning, play time, walks and administering medication if needed. I would care for them as if they were my own.
“Leah was so great with my two cats! I went out of town for two weeks, and she was very attentive and caring while I was gone. One of my cats has new health issues, but I never worried about them. She was always great about sending photos and updates every day, so I could see what they were up to as well. I'd definitely have her watch my cats again, and would definitely recommend her!”
About: Let me care for your loved ones while you are away, so you can rest at ease and enjoy your adventure with your family and friends. I love being on the move and having a variety of tasks. I love helping to build a strong community as well in this area. Pets are important family members, and I believe owners should know they are valued as such when they are away. Providing your house and/or your pets is the priority while you are away/or needing services. Let me provide you the peace of mind that your house and your pets will receive the highest quality of attention. I have lived in many countries, led international mission trips, and have cared for many owner's houses/pets.
“Jaime was absolutely wonderful. My plans ended up changing last minute and she was open and flexible to accommodating. She gave such beautiful pictures and updates and my kitty was so joyful and fun when I got home; she clearly had a great time!”

About: As a retired teacher, I’ve spent my life nurturing, encouraging, and caring for others, and that same patience and dedication extend to every dog I meet. I understand that pets are family, and I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment where your furry friend can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a calm companion nearby, I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. With years of experience building trust and creating positive relationships, you can have peace of mind knowing your beloved pet is receiving plenty of attention, affection, and gentle care. I look forward to treating your dog like one of my own! 🐾❤️ I am available to watch your dog for you if you need a short-term doggy daycare option or someone reliable to care for your furry family member while you’re on vacation for several days. I have a fenced-in yard and two fur babies to keep your fur baby company while you’re away. We will have regular yard playtime and potty breaks, every 2-4 hours during the day. I am also happy to come walk your dog for you if you prefer that.
“Tawny was relaxed and good with my dogs. She wasn’t put off by my Shepherds size or talkativeness. On the other hand, I was nervous. First time leaving my dogs with a new sitter. Tawny thought to send pictures of my dogs with some new friends without me asking, which was a relief. My dogs were happy and tired when I picked them up. They had had a great day. They even got a very sweet card from Tawny’a own dogs. Very nice touch”

“Kelly really saved me in a pinch and did exactly what I had in mind my for 2 dogs experiencing doggy daycare for the first time! I gave her a brief overview of their personalities and my expectations for the day and she provided an easy, stress-free day for me! She was also flexible with my drop off and pick up times possibly changing and was incredibly kind/understanding about me not being able to give her an idea of drop off/pick up. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: My fiancé and I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. Our experience includes feeding according to dietary needs, ensuring regular exercise through walks and playtime, administering medications, and maintaining a safe, clean environment. And let’s not forget, all the cuddles your pup will allow! Pet care fits seamlessly into our weekly routine, as both my fiancé, Renas, and I work from home. I work part-time and he works full-time, which means one of us is always home to provide attentive care. Renas shares my love for animals and is always actively involved in caring for the pets we welcome. Our schedules are flexible and fully adaptable to meet your pet’s unique needs. While your pet is in our care, we will follow any schedule/routine that fits your pets needs. We will also ensure proper feeding/watering and any dietary restrictions. Pets will have regular walks and playtime as well as proper physical and mental stimulation such as engaging in games or activities that cater to the pet’s personality and energy level. If games and activities aren’t your pets cup of tea, we can be great couch potatoes and cuddle buddies as well. Maintaining a clean pet environment is a priority ensuring their space is free from hazards. Any basic grooming needs will also be provided. Last but not least, we are happy to keep pet owners updated regularly through messages, pictures, or videos to provide peace of mind. (Pets are allowed on furniture and are welcome to sleep in bed if preferred 😊) Side note- We live in a two story home on a half acre lot that backs up to a wooded area. Our yard is not fenced in so dogs will need to be leashed when going outside. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly with tree lined streets and sidewalks on both sides. There’s also several trails nearby that’s great for dog walking and adventures!
About: I own a King Charles Cavalier and a German Shepherd currently! I grew up on a farm in southern Indiana with multiple foster and adopted animals! My mother instilled a serious love and adoration for people and their favorite pets. I volunteered at our local animal shelter, was trained in multiple animal science courses, and was taught to love and respect the animals I work with, both domesticated and exotic. I have handled dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, farm livestock, petting zoo animals, and more. I love them and have tons of professional experience to give your fur-baby the best experience possible. Please feel free to message or call whenever needed and I am more then happy to accommodate ANYTHING you or your sweet pet needs. I have lots of time on my hands, currently we start our mornings with a good meal and a long walk along our neighborhood. We will head to the house for a quick nap or so that our older dogs and puppies can rest. We then head to either the local state park or a dog park for some new stimulation. When we return home, we have some free time with toys and puzzles, enjoy another good meal, take another long, walk around the neighborhood, and then cuddle on the couch or in the beds until bedtime. I don’t have a fence in yard however, we have multiple leashes here as well as one that you would prefer to use. All of our animals are continuously monitored, I work part-time, and we also have cameras in the house. Feel free to request photos or videos of your baby at any point in time.

I’ll treat them as my own!
About: Hello there! My name is Haley and I am a lifelong pet lover who was raised on a farm and was the sole caretaker for a herd of goats, a horse, chickens, and other farm animals. This has given me experience in animal husbandry, medicine distribution, general care and maintenance. I also have pet care experience for the following animals: Bunnies, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, snakes, bearded dragons, chickens, horses, goats, donkeys, and of course, dogs and cats! I also have experience with trained police dogs and post op patients who may need that little bit of extra love, attention, and care. Whatever animal you've got, I would love to care for! My family has always had cats and dogs from all age ranges, so I have experience from puppies and kittens to seniors. Whatever your pets need, I’m confident I’ll be able to provide it so you can rest easy while away. Pet sitting is my livelihood, which means I am open to schedule according to your family and pet needs! Please don’t hesitate to reach out, as I am open and ready to meet you and your fluffy family! I can feed, walk, play with them, etc. Please show me your pets favorite scratching spot or their favorite games to play so it can be as if their routine hasn't changed a bit! I can do whatever you need for me to do, including water plants, bring in mail, etc. My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while providing you peace of mind.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—pets have always been part of my family! Right now, I have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels. I don’t just work with cats and dogs either—I’ve cared for everything from hamsters to horses, and even birds! No matter the animal, I’m confident, patient, and know how to make them feel safe and loved. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just relax and get some extra attention, I’m happy to match their vibe. I’ll make sure they’re fed on time, get their exercise, and receive plenty of love while you’re away. I work online, so my schedule is super flexible. Need a midday walk or extra check-ins? I’ve got you covered! I’m also a photographer, so you can expect lots of cute photo updates of your pets while you’re gone 📸 I truly love meeting new people and their animals, and I’d love to work with you to make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for! Pet care is part of my everyday life! With a flexible, work-from-home schedule, I’m able to easily build my day around walks, feedings, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. One thing I ask is to be made aware of any pineapple scented items(soaps, air fresheners, food, etc.) before entering the home as I am severely allergic. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and well-loved, and I always provide updates while you’re away.
About: I have been around and loved dogs for my entire life. One of our family dogs had two litters while I was in high school and I helped take care of and raise the puppies. I also frequently pet-sat for neighbors and friends. Last year my wife and I adopted a puppy from Puerto Rico who we adore. I look forward to giving your pets the care and love they deserve! I do freelance work as a musician and dancer, so I have a fairly unpredictable schedule. Currently I am available on weekdays from 8 AM to 10 PM but I can be available on some weekends. I am happy to play with your dogs in their home or yard, to work on training as needed (our dog has been in training courses for around six months), or to do whatever else your dog will enjoy! I also enjoy walks and am happy to take your dog around the neighborhood or to nearby parks.
“Savannah was great this week with my little dog, Chloe. She was prompt and communicative. Chloe normally takes some time to warm up to new people but made fast friends with her.”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I have always had at least one cat, and had dogs for 17 years of my life. I have also taken care of family and friends’ pets while they are out of town plenty of times.

I am within walking distance of a dog park, and can bring animals inside or outside, whichever their needs are. I can also keep and transfer pets inside crates as needed.

About: Hi there! I’m an avid animal lover with a gentle, patient approach to pet care. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and my rescue beagle, Mylo: a lovable goofball who keeps me humble and well‑trained. I always look after every pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and high quality care I give my own little crew. 🐾 Before pursuing social work, I actually planned to become a veterinary technician, and that early passion for animals has stayed with me. I’ve volunteered at the Wabash animal shelter, spent years riding horses, and gained hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Mylo, who struggles with anxiety, has taught me a lot about de‑escalating reactivity and building trust through positive reinforcement. He also takes daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and following specific care routines. Mylo likes to think of it as his “evening treat with extra steps.” Over the past several years, I’ve pet‑sat for friends, family, and their extended circles. This has allowed me to care for pets of all ages and ranging needs. No matter the temperament, I adapt to each animal’s personality, mood, and boundaries. Striving to create a calm, reassuring environment where your pet feels understood is central to my approach as a caregiver. Please reach out if you have any questions! Your pet's comfort is my priority ❤️ My schedule is currently very open as I wrap up my internship, and I’m available for daily check‑ins, walks, and overnight stays! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to connect. ❤️🐕🦺🎾 I love caring for pets where they feel safest, their home 🏡🐾. While I’m there, I carefully follow your pet’s routine and keep their space clean and comfortable, so you return to a happy, relaxed fur baby and a home that feels just as you left it (or better).
About: Hello! Former veterinary assistant, forever animal lover here! Have spent the last 14 years working with dogs and cats in various professional contexts: boarding and daycare, animal shelters, high-volume spay/neuter, and, more recently, full-service veterinary medicine. Additionally, I have been caring for dogs and cats in my own home since I was young. I will offer your pet/s compassionate, attentive care. You can trust that I will be responsible, reliable, professional, and fun! I’m pretty flexible at the moment. Aside from animal care, my schedule is fairly open. Please reach out and I will try to accommodate! I am unable to care for pets in my own home as I have a reactive Aussie mix, BUT, I am more than willing to stay the night or day in your home to care for your pets, following all instructions and guidelines to the T.
About: I have worked in a dog kennel as well as volunteered for multiple years!!! I have dealt with a variety of animals in their own homes as well as mine, and have raised my own dog as well!! I currently work part time with very few hours, so I am always openly available for your animal!!! I make it a priority to keep your animal feeling safe and happy just as they would be with you! I can easily crate your dog if needed and live somewhere with a large yard for playing and keeping them entertained!! I also have plenty of space and things for them to do!!
About: I managed a pet store for years, I also ran a humane society's equine center and I have horses of my own. I have experience with reactive dogs and love big dogs!

About: My prices are NEGOTIABLE!🎉 I placed an AVERAGE rate of $50 per night but there are so many other factors to consider when it comes to your fur babies. I am not difficult to work with on that, so please don’t be shy asking for something that respects your budget. ☺️ I currently work as a PROFESSIONAL nurse 😉. I am a nature lover all-around. I’m happy to bring your animals to my house to pet sit or stay in with them while you’re away. I can also make sure your plants are happy and if you’re really specific with your instructions, I can help take care of aquatic, avian, reptile, or other exotic friends as well!

Thanks for checking out my profile, I hope to talk soon! ☺️🐱🐶🐠🦜 I can accommodate staying in with your pet(s) or having them stay with me. I work nights on Sundays and Tuesdays from 7p-7a. On those nights, I am not available. I treat house and pet sitting like my own life. I clean after myself and the pets. I tend to plant life and get the mail; general daily duties. All other chores I consider upon request.
About: I am truly fascinated about animals of all kinds, especially the “weird” ones! Growing up in North Carolina, I naturally had a passion for the outdoors, and the creatures who inhabit it. I quickly learned to have respect for these animals and have always wanted to learn more. I have years of personal experience caring for and loving dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, geckos, and freshwater fish, but I am comfortable with many other species as I also have experience as an exotic veterinary assistant. I will always listen to every comment or concern, and make sure I am 100% available for all of your animal’s needs! I will always personally conduct a “history” with you, about your pet(s) before any booking! I feel like it is important to note certain information so I can look for any changes during our time together. I always log eating, drinking, defecation, and behaviors so I can ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible! Lastly, I understand that I am being entrusted with your animal’s care, and I take that very seriously. If there is ever a slight cause for concern, you will be contacted immediately! I am working part-time on Fridays and Saturdays currently. Please refer to my calendar for more details! I look forward to working with you and your pet(s)! I always approach animals with care and ease. I am never forceful or yell, and try to be as attentive to their needs as possible!
About: I’m 18 years old and just graduated High school I have grown up around dogs my whole life, including 2 bulldogs, a mastiff, and a boxer. Two and a half years ago I got my own Australian Shepherd, and caring for him has given me even more hands on experience. I have pet sat before and truly loved it. I’m responsible, patient, and don’t mind cleaning up accidents or handling energetic pets. I was involved in 4-H for three years, which helped me gain even more experience working with animals. I’m currently in college for massage therapy and have a flexible schedule, with availability on any days except Mondays and Thursdays.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, because growing my family always had pets. I love animals and my family can rely on me when it comes to caring for their pets. Having pets and growing up around all sorts of animals has encouraged me to expand my knowledge and kindness to help other’s when it some to taking care of their pets. I’m comfortable around all dogs and cats. When I take care of pets I dedicate my time to care for all of them and their needs. My schedule does change a lot when I go ba k to school or during the summer time as well I at the moment I have part-time availability and can house sit and walk dogs. I will also take last minute bookings on the weekdays, and cancellations. I also travel quite a lot so i apologize in advance for my opening. When it comes to taking care of dogs and other animals, I make sure to take them out on the leash and try to get in at least two walks everyday, as well play with them so they’ll sleep well later on.

“Nora is great. Kia is an older dog and set in her ways. Nora was so patient with her and took top notch care of her. I got daily updates. Kia wouldn’t eat for the first couple of days and Nora found a solution to get her to eat. Your dog is in good hands with Nora.”
“Great experience and so very thankful to her for fitting me in during holiday times. This was my first time using the Rover app and I would definitely use Tawny again!”
“Madison was wonderful and flexible. First, we were able to modify our dates before the trip. Second. We ran into traffic on our way home and Madison was able to watch our dog for extra tune until we got home. We got picture updates and our dog was happy.”
“We are so grateful for the care Matthew and Ellie gave to our dog Marla. This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous. Matthew and Ellie let us come to their home to see everything and how more the would feel at their place. They are very open and respectful. Marla had a wonderful time they provided daily pictures. They were very responsive to any messages. They were in constant communication with us and were also very flexible when we needed to extend marvelous care. We are very pleased with how everything went and will definitely be using them again in the future. I especially appreciated how they seemed to not just see this as a job, but actually enjoyed having Marla as part of their family.”
“Celsei and “team” were amazing!! Rudi had fun!! It’s like he was on vacation too with his new friends!! We are from out of town so having Rudi stay with Celsei was a blessing. She communicated regularly which was wonderful peace of mind. When we come back, Celsei will be our first pick!!”
“We had a great experience with Mariah! She took amazing care of Goose and kept us updated with thoughtful, detailed messages the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really paid attention to his routine, behavior, and little quirks. Goose got plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and we came home to a happy (and tired!) pup. We would absolutely trust her to watch Goose again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Trista did a great job with our girls as always. She sent photos and daily updates to us so we knew how the girls were doing. She had them all packed up and ready to go for us when we got there. We will definitely continue to use her as our dogs’ sitter.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and understand that some animals need special care. I live in a quiet neighborhood with great walking paths! I work a Monday through Friday normal schedule, going into work around 6am and coming home around 3pm each day. I love going on morning, afternoon, and evening walks with my dog, Toby, and he loves to run around our backyard too. Weekends are meant for fun! Sometimes we go to the dog park or a walk through downtown. I care for them by giving them attention, sticking to a nice schedule, and understanding that every animal is different in their own, unique way. Some require more care, others are very chill like my own dog!
“Kelly was absolutely amazing. My dog Luna stayed with her for a week and Kelly kept me updated regularly and took great care of Luna. I will use Kelly’s services again and would highly recommend others to do so.”
“Maddie had such a good time with Isabella! She was so gentle and caring, and made sure Maddie got plenty of walks and attention. I highly recommend her- she'll take great care of your pets and put your mind at ease.”
“Deborah and Cheesney are amazing!! I can’t say enough positive things to express this! My 2 dogs (one is a puppy) loved their time there. Deborah is so understanding, accommodating, and flexible! She took superb care of them and I can’t wait to use her again!”
About: I’m currently a Junior in college and I miss my dogs at home, which is what made me want to become a sitter on rover. I have two bernedoodles at home. One is 4 year old and one is 6 months old, so I’ve had experience training both of them and caring for both of them. I also walked a neighborhood golden doodle frequently in high school. Last summer I nannied a family with an adorable pitbull that I cared for in addition to the children. I also had a golden retriever growing up for 12 years. I love all ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I have a summer class from 9-12 every morning, but other than that I can be home all day. I spend most of my time studying at home, but love to go for walks as study breaks and I live a very active lifestyle, which dogs would fit into perfectly. I also love being outdoors and I live alone so I’d love the company of a furry friend. It really depends on the client and how they want me to care for their pet. I want to do as much as I can to make their dogs feel at home and at ease. I’ve seen how hard it is for my own dogs back at home to adjust to a new environment, so I want to provide a healthy environment for other people’s dogs. When I get clients I make sure to ask them about their dogs routine, so I can do my best to mimic that.
“Mason has been such a great sitter! He first started with boarding my pup at his home and then has helped with drop in. He is very communicative and flexible. I absolutely recommend using him!”
“Zoë is very sweet & knowledgeable when it comes to doggies! She took such great care of my little golden and kept me informed throughout the day each day on how she was doing with messages and photos. I would highly recommend Zoë for any/all of your doggie needs! :)”
“Kelsie was so sweet to my dogs and they made themselves right at home. She sent me lots of pictures which was great. I really appreciated her taking them at the last minute on Memorial weekend! I will definitely use her again in the future.”
