“Had Sarah watch my 2 year old Great Dane Roscoe. She was a great sitter and will definitely be using her again when the time arises. He come home happy and healthy after his 3 night stay. Sarah is also very good at communicating and was always quick to respond when I would check up on my boy.”

“Katia was so awesome and took care of my husky Ethel for 5 days while I was out of town. She came home so happy and exhausted. 10/10 She accommodate us last minute which was super sweet of her.”


“Alexis was fantastic with Bentley! He can be anxious when away from home, but he always seemed relaxed and happy in the daily updates I would get. He even let Alexis trim his nails, which he seldom does with anyone!”

“Brendan was a life saver! He responded to my last minute boarding request for my mastiff at close to midnight the night before the stay started😅 My boy spent two nights with Brendan and his pup. He’s never been away from home before so I was a little nervous but everything seemed to go well. Brendan was very easy to reach and he sent pictures and updates regularly. I would definitely book with Brendan again! Thanks so much!!”

“Kept me up to date on how my dog was doing while we were out of the country for a couple of weeks, and took good care of my senior dog while we were away. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I have pet sit for many years. I love meeting new animals. I enjoy pet sitting because as a social worker I am able to come home to an animal and sent time with them. Animals are the way I cope. I have plenty of time to play with animals in the evenings and weekends. My schedule is very open for this and I am excited to have this opportunity I will ensure to keep everything the way I found it or even better. I know animals do best in their own environment so I have no problem being in other peoples homes. I show respect.
“Kari and Clint let me book last minute after another Rover sitter canceled last minute. Hank did really well during his stay. We received many pictures every day with an update. We will definitely be using Kari and Clint in the future!”

“Nancy was amazing with our little morkie, Mia. This was our dog’s second time ever staying with someone else and she was well-loved and cared for by Nancy and her husband. Nancy kept me updated everyday on how our pup was doing with pictures and videos. She was very responsive to any messages we sent and we could not have been happier with the care our dog received while we were out of town. Highly recommend!”

“Kristan is amazing! Our pup loved staying with her and enjoyed the backyard. She sent regular updates and pics, and our pup didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend Kristan - especially for long trips.”

“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Maddlyn took such great care of my cats and sent daily updates with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Cats can be difficult to care for since they often take longer to adjust to new people, but she was incredibly patient and understanding the entire time. If you're looking for a local, affordable, and trustworthy pet sitter, I highly recommend booking with Maddlyn. I would absolutely book with her again!”

“Kelly is awesome and gave us updates/photos/videos throughout the day. She helped my dog settle in and feel comfortable. She’s awesome with animals and so happy she was available to help us out in a short notice.”

“Haylie was so wonderful to work with! She sent me updates and pictures throughout my trip and allowed me to extend Seeley's stay with her family on short notice when we had some unexpected issues. This was his second time staying with Haylie, and I am sure it won't be his last!”

“Elizabeth was great! Our dog stayed with her for one night and she was very responsive and sent us updates. Our boy seemed to be well taken care of and Elizabeth was very professional. We would recommend her to anyone!”

“Jenn exceeded our expectations in caring for our Great Dane Olive. It was our first time leaving our dog with someone outside of family. Jenn provided updates and was very thoughtful in caring for Olive. I would absolutely book a boarding session with Jenn again!”

About: Hi! I'm Sami, and I am THRILLED to meet your loved one. ME AS A SITTER: My number one priority while caring for your loved one is their comfort. I believe having patience and allowing your pet to make the first move is important when first establishing a routine or any sort of bond. Anything you or your loved one needs for our time together, I'm there for it all! I have always had a passion for animals and find it an absolute blessing to spend time with any and all. WHAT I CAN DO: I am comfortable with pets of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. This includes pets that need medication, special dietary restrictions, or even pets that don't like to be too close but need a little company- I'm just happy to meet your pet no matter what they need! MY CAT BACKGROUND: I'm currently taking care of and slowly bonding with a feral calico cat my family rescued from a car hood, and it's already taught me so much about patience and trust with cats that need a lot more than your typical attention. I have been taking care of her for a few months now and can't wait to continue to grow with her. Before this, I housesat for family friends for over a week, during which I cared for their 3 cats and 1 dog, feeding twice a day and making sure they got plenty of playtime throughout the day. This also included me caring for their house and plants, doing general upkeep throughout the week. I also have experience caring for a sweet but playful grey tabby in my home in Indiana. While shared with 5 adults, holiday breaks were spent just me and the cat, which is honestly where my favorite memories of us come from! I have given pets medication many times, including wound care, vet visits, and special feeding instructions. You can see pictures of my grey tabby in his cone after he got fixed (and unfortunately had to be on antibiotics) on my page!

About: Hello! I’m a student at BSU, and have always loved my 3 cats. They are in my hometown, so I’m looking to take care of fur babies in college town! I used to cat sit for some families back home, so I have 4 year of on and off experience. I understand some cats are standoffish, and some love cuddles. I respect whatever level of comfortability the cat chooses haha. Regardless they will be fed, watered and have clean litter! I also make sure to watch out for accidents because cat pee left sitting damages stuff. I love taking care of animals and want to help you have healthy fur babies in safe hands and relaxing break to whatever reason you’re using Rover!

About: Cats have been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I've been a volunteer at Midwest Pet Refuge for almost a year, working with cats of every age, temperament, and background. For the past 8 months, I've also been a cat foster, giving both kittens and adults a safe, loving place to land, I've cared for shy cats, spicy cats, and even day-old bottle babies, so I'm very comfortable with high-needs or fragile kitties who require extra patience and attention. I understand cat body language, respect their boundaries, and take the time to earn their trust. Whether your cat wants playtime, cuddles, a calm presence, or someone who knows how to handle special care routines, I'm here to make them feel safe and loved while you're away. Your cat will be treated like family - because that's exactly how I see them.

“Kari and Clint were phenomenal. I got daily updates and pictures and when I needed an extra day at the last minute, they happily accommodated my cat with no complaints. They even sent us home with a new toy and box of treats! I will absolutely be using them again!!”

About: I love to make others feel more comfortable about leaving their beloved dog in capable hands while they are away! I work from home so the dogs are not left alone. I love dogs but am not ready to have two in my home full time. Pet sitting helps to keep my dog socialized. I am able to follow a strict routine, give medications and have very flexible drop off and pick up times. My dog is very friendly and I have a fenced in yard for plenty of playtime. I work from home so am here to care for them all day.
“Gerard was awesome. Would definitely recommend him to anyone. Leaving Ralphie for the first time with him I felt comfortable and not a worry in the world. Thank you Gerard. See you Tuesday.”

About: Hi furry families! My name is Iris and I’m an animal inspired gal. I have owned multiple breeds of dogs/cats throughout my lifetime from family mutts to tea cup chihuahuas to 100lb terriers but I do have an extra special place in my heart for bullies. I’ve raised all my children with dogs/cats and am comfortable with all breeds. I would love to meet your babies, give them all the love and attention they need and keep them comfortable in your absence. 🐾 I am available for drop ins, walks, and overnight stays. I work a typical 40 hours a week with flexibility to adjust my schedule as needed. I’ve worked for the same company for 27 years and would love to build a steady group of fur friends so I can leave the corporate world and do what I actually love! 🩷 I love to stimulate your dog mentality and physically. I’m an expert ball thrower (just ask my Kato) and I enjoy walking neighborhoods and sometimes adding a little jog. If their not into adventure I’m also great at cuddling on the couch or floor, giving all the belly scratches and just being present for comfort and security.

About: Although I have more experience with cats, I love all pets in all sizes! I will treat your fur baby exactly the way they are supposed to be treated, like a member of the family. I will make sure your pets are well cared for, loved, and I will try my best to make sure you receive updates along the way because that is what I would like, if it were me. If your buddy needs medicine or special care instructions, I am happy to oblige. I want to make sure your pet feels the least amount of stress possible, because I know how hard it can be when they are away from you. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pet and take them for walks. Boarding can happen any day of the week. I have 2 kitties and a pup at home with an unfenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I will make sure your fur baby is cared for on the schedule you need to keep them on track. I do not have a crate, but if you'd like to provide one, I'm happy to crate your baby as needed. Because I stay at home, I will be picking up my kids from school during school days and would love to be able to bring your buddy with me during that time (if they aren't stressed about it).
“Forrest just loves going to see Monika and her little sweetie Kimmie. It sure is nice to have some one you can count on and know you baby is going to be taken care of and loved.”

I am a retired nurse I am available to care for pets most days. I am trustworthy dependable and caring. Animals are a blessing to me. I have a huge fenced in backyard, with two friendly golden retrievers who would love to play with your pet. Also I can crate if needed.
“Our energetic Doodle could not have been in better hands. My wife often worries about using overcrowded and overstimulating pet daycare. We’re so glad we found Ellie (and her dog Red!). Luna is so happy to go there and we have no doubt she is safe. Bonus that she still comes home tired from all her fun!”
