“Ebony and her family are amazing care givers! Not only is she responsive and communicates throughout the trip, but she also followed special feeding instructions for our pup. He had so much fun at Ebony’s house, I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home!! We’ve already rebooked her for the future because we know that our Toby is well taken care of and loved while we are gone. We can’t recommend Ebony enough- she’s amazing!”
“Ryo took care of our sweet Maddy and worked with us on such short notice. We appreciated the communication and pictures and can tell she was well cared for. We will definitely be contacting him again for doggie sitting in the future. Thanks Ryo!!”

About: Hi! My name is Emm! I am a queer and queer-friendly person and active in my community. I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I raised puppies, walked massive dobermans, and at one point took care of 13 dogs at once! Feeding, watering, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet like you would are my top priorities. I lived with my father after becoming an adult and took care of his cat. Animals of all kinds are fine by me! I'm available at any time! When I am not working, I spend my time with my partner, listen to music, and practice my culinary skills. If I stay at your home, I will respect your pets and your things like you're my family. Your pets will be pampered and well cared for. I'll take great care of them, and give them plenty of love and attention.
“Mrs. Shaniya was wonderful. My dog just loved her. I was uneasy about leaving my baby, but when I got there and how at ease my dog was, I knew I made a good choice. My dog a had a nice clean yard to run around a nice clean kennel for him. He had other dogs to play with. When I returned my , dog didn’t want to leave.”
“I had an amazing experience with Jen, and so did my dog Pearl. Pearl is an anxious pup but Jen went above and beyond to keep her calm and happy. I got a ton of photo updates and just felt so relieved and happy knowing that my dog was having a great time while I was away!”
“Ciara did a wonderful job with our boxer mix! He is a rescue with some anxiety issues who needs a calm, patient caretaker and she handled him beautifully. I will certainly use her again!”

“George and Erin were great with our puppy who is very energetic. Their yard is phenomenal, and their care was fantastic. We would definitely use them again.”
“Sometimes it's hard to really know if someone is a dog lover, but not Stephanie. It's obvious from the get-go that dogs are a part of her life. Meeting her for the first time, we knew our Maggie was in the right hands. She's attentive, sent us pictures and videos of Mags while we were on vacation, loving, and updated us as she cared for her. She's on our short list for regulars now. Definitely recommend!”
“They were absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie. From the moment we dropped him off, they were kind, patient, and super understanding. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Charlie was comfortable with them and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. They kept me updated and were very attentive to his needs. I’m really grateful for how well they treated him and I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend!”

“Ciara was wonderful! We had her cat-sit for us for a week. Prior to her sitting, she did an in-person visit with us, as well as a day before meet and greet with our cat, which we really appreciated! She checked in with us every day, while we were gone”
“I was so happy to be able to book Donai again. Second time’s a charm! I knew my cats were in great hands, and I always loved seeing the Rover reports and pictures while I was enjoying my trip. Thanks for your flexibility and your clear communication!”
“Desiree took such wonderful care of my kitty girl while I was out of town! She got plenty of playtime and tons of pets. She was so loved on while I was gone and I’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Bayley did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She followed all the instructions on our guide, sent proof-of-life pictures on every drop-in, and consistently communicated about the timing of her visits. It was such a relief to know our fur babies were in good hands so we could enjoy our trip :)”
“Jacqueline did an absolutely stellar job -- I got TONS of pictures of my kitties to help me feel secure while I was on vacation, and she did an amazing job both with the routine feeding/cleaning care as well as pets/play :) great communication, and was even able to be flexible and handle an extra day when my flight got cancelled. Highly recommend for all future pet care needs!”

“Eleanor always takes the best care of our cat while we are away! I always used to stress about who was taking care of him while I was gone and constantly worried about how he was doing. While she has been our pet sitter for the last couple vacations all my worries have been gone! She takes the best care of him and I could not recommend her more!”
About: I’ve never not had a cat in my life, they’re all I know! From growing up with them to having 2 of my own as soon as I got to college, I love caring for them and don’t know what to do without them!
About: Cats are independent yet they still need stimulation. Many of the people who come to me looking for help are cat owners who go on long trips and don’t want to leave their babies alone.
“Jen was great! She took really good care of my boys & sent lots of pics to help this anxious Kitty Momma!! She even closed up the forgotten garage door. We would definitely recommend her.”
“William did a great job with my two cats! Communication was very good and easy, and my kitties seemed to really like him immediately! I will absolutely rebook.”
“Cody was amazing! He took great care of my cat Sebastian while I was out of town. He even went the extra mile and fixed my automatic litter box when it stopped working. This was my first time using this app and I couldn't have been more happy with my experience!”
About: Pets are my world. I volunteered at an animal rescue for 8 years before I moved out of town. I had a 14-year-old rescue who was blind and diabetic. I gave him two injections a day and cooked his food every week. Let your pup be my new bestie. I currently do not have a set schedule so my schedule is pretty flexible to keep your babies company when needed even in short notice! I let them smell me each time and come to me when they are comfortable. I have no doubt they will warm up to me fast!
“Didn't even think to ask for pictures but she took multiple good ones which is always good for reassurance. It was my first time using her and rover but will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Ryo did a great job for our 10 night house/cat-sit. Great communication, sent plenty of pictures, and I know that our three shy cats were definitely building that comfort and familiarity you all hope for in a house or pet sitter. Only feedback is the water bowls needed one last top-up, but not the end of the world. Overall Ryo was super respectful of our space, and left everything in its place. You'll be our first choice for future cat and house sitting needs if you're interested Ryo, that's for sure! Thanks again so much.”
“Maddy did a great job with our dogs! She kept them fed and entertained. The updates were great and I never was concerned with how the dogs were doing. One of my dogs is a trouble maker and she did great with her! Definitely recommend booking her! Reasonably priced, great service!”

About: Hi! I cannot wait to get to know your pet! Learning their routines, behaviors, and boundaries helps me ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Making sure you return to exercised, well behaved, and happy pets is the always the priority. During inclement weather, I provide safe outdoor potty breaks, with indoor play like puzzles and scavenger hunts. Ensuring they're still getting to work out their energy and your money is well spent. I'm happy to help figure out which service is best for you and your pet. Please reach out with any questions. And I'm happy to set up a meet and greet so that I'm available to help out at a moments notice. I make my living providing pet care and housekeeping. Remember sleep away camp when you were a kid? Or that one really cool babysitter? That's what your pet's time with me will be like. Your vacation is also their vacation. Whether at your home or my own, walks, or drop-in visits, I provide regular updates and so many cute photos to help assure that they're in good hands. My home has a large, fenced in backyard for all the desired romps and squirrel chasing. I live in a beautiful, easily walkable neighborhood; which is great for multiple daily adventures, stopping to smell all the smells and learn safe social skills. Whether at my home or your own, I'd like to know what your pet's current routines are, and any anxieties you or they might have. I appreciate the trust and responsibility I've been given while taking care of your loved ones and home.
“Jon inspires trust with his calm and gentle manner and great communication, and my two-year-old pup Edison immediately took to him. He had a great doggy day and we look forward to his future day and overnight visits with his new human pal. Thank you Jon!”
“Ami was so kind and trustworthy, she took amazing care of my dog and I would highly recommend her to anyone anytime. She sent plenty of pics and videos - your dog couldn’t be in safer hands.”
“We were driving cross country and found Rachael so we could stop for dinner with family. Since we were not local we had no idea we crossed into a new time zone and we’re an hour late for drop off and pick up. I felt terrible but Rachael was wonderful with our pup and took great care of her. Would definitely recommend and send our pup to Rachael again. Thank you!”
“Kimba had a great time with Kaitlyn. She took great care of Kimba and sent pictures throughout the day. Kaitlyn is very responsive and makes me feel at ease. Kimba has a lot of separation anxiety and it was clear from the photos and when we picked her up that she’d had a great day. I know Kimba was in good hands with Kaitlyn. I’d use her again next time we are in town.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Macy was absolutely amazing with Bruno! She cared for him for an entire week with so much love, patience, and confidence. Every morning he was genuinely excited to see her, and that gave me so much peace of mind. As the owner of a 120-pound dog, it isn’t easy to trust someone else with him, but I felt completely comfortable leaving my big baby in Macy’s capable hands. She handled him with confidence and kindness, and it was clear she truly cared about him. She was also incredibly flexible and gracious as my schedule kept changing, pivoting without hesitation and making the whole experience stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Macy and will absolutely book with her again!”

“Christina was incredibly accommodating, and took excellent care of Lillian, who was a little stressed over being someplace new for the first time. Wish I lived in the area so I could book her again; Christina was excellent and communicates well (and sent photos during the stay, which was a bonus!)”
“Breanna is great! We left our pup for daycare, she played, relaxed, and went on a walk. Breanna was very responsive and provided great updates. We would absolutely leave our pup with her again.”
“I was so worried about not being able to find a place for Brody to go while I was at work. I thought I was going to have to leave my furry BF at home. Luckily I found Suzanne. She took amazing care of my pup and provided photos and video updates. I will definitely be utilizing her services again.”

I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I love animals and have taken care of them all my life so I think Rover is the perfect place for me I have a three story house and a fenced in yard for all pets to have the freedom to explore and feel safe in a new environment.
“We will 100% come back to Melody for dog sitting again. Finn and Echos stay with Melody went great. I was worried because my dogs aren't the calmest and best behaved but she said the did very well. We stayed for a bit so that we could make sure our German Shepherd and Husky would get along with the other dogs and Melody was so accommodating, introducing each dog slowly and calmly. I also want to point out that Melody has a 5' fence which is one of the reasons we decided to go with her as our sitter. Finn has been known to jump shorter fences but I knew he would be safe in her yard. Another great thing was all of the puppy friends they got to play with while they were there! When I picked them up I could just tell they had a great time. Thank you so much, Melody!”
“Jewels was amazing with Mya and this was our first time getting a sitter and she eased my mind with leaving her. Mya had the best time and came home so happy!”
“Isbe and her daughter were welcoming and super friendly. We truly appreciated their kindhearted care of our very shy little dog. It was the first time we've given him to someone for daycare . He did great and we are so grateful to Isbe. We'd use her again in a heartbeat to care for our little doggie. Thank you so much, Isbe!!!”

About: Growing up, I’ve always been surrounded with pets and been given the opportunity to care for dogs numerous times. I am very patient with animals and genuinely find joy spending my time with them. After recently graduating from college and moving into a studio apartment, it has been an adjustment not being surrounded by pets. Through Rover, I’m excited to not only help others, but also to find fulfillment spending time with pets. Although I work a 9-5, I am willing to make plenty of time before or after work to accommodate your needs. I am a morning person, so I would be more than happy to take your dog on an early morning walk or be there to let them out. I also will be able to take care of them in the afternoon. My weekends are free to help at any time. You can trust me with your pet because I treat animals with the same amount of respect that I’d treat any person. It is my priority to ensure their safety while also having fun. I would love to take them on walks at the park and am open to having them at my apartment if needed.

I grew up with dog of various “big dog” breeds and I can handle puppies no matter how big or small they might be. I would love the opportunity to play with and care for any animal, and make sure they have everything they need!

“Ebony and her family are amazing care givers! Not only is she responsive and communicates throughout the trip, but she also followed special feeding instructions for our pup. He had so much fun at Ebony’s house, I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home!! We’ve already rebooked her for the future because we know that our Toby is well taken care of and loved while we are gone. We can’t recommend Ebony enough- she’s amazing!”
“Ryo took care of our sweet Maddy and worked with us on such short notice. We appreciated the communication and pictures and can tell she was well cared for. We will definitely be contacting him again for doggie sitting in the future. Thanks Ryo!!”
“we are so glad we found Beth M! our dog Tuko loves her and so do we. great person, excellent communicator! Beth takes your pet into her home with her own and her family. we have not enough words to recommend Mrs. Beth M. Great sitter.”
“Aspen was great with responding and providing details about her services. She was pleasant to talk to and Snoop was very comfortable with her. Her location was convenient to the airport and my boy was happy when we returned home. I will definitely request her services again!”
“I had to find a sitter last minute and so happy I was able to find Cody. He was a great sitter, kept me informed and very down to earth person. This was my first time going through an animal sitter service but I will definitely book again.. with Cody ❤️”
“Wow! Such a great experience with Jacqueline! My puppy Dewey loved his experience and I was so impressed with the great care that was provided! It is obvious that Jacqueline is truly a great dog person and the communication was top notch! Loved all the great pictures and feedback! Highly recommend!”
“The best there is!! My babies are so cared for and so loved. Not just by Valerie but also by her family. That’s more than I can wish for when they are in the care of others! ❤️”
About: Hi! My name is Emm! I am a queer and queer-friendly person and active in my community. I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I raised puppies, walked massive dobermans, and at one point took care of 13 dogs at once! Feeding, watering, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet like you would are my top priorities. I lived with my father after becoming an adult and took care of his cat. Animals of all kinds are fine by me! I'm available at any time! When I am not working, I spend my time with my partner, listen to music, and practice my culinary skills. If I stay at your home, I will respect your pets and your things like you're my family. Your pets will be pampered and well cared for. I'll take great care of them, and give them plenty of love and attention.
“I had an amazing experience with Jen, and so did my dog Pearl. Pearl is an anxious pup but Jen went above and beyond to keep her calm and happy. I got a ton of photo updates and just felt so relieved and happy knowing that my dog was having a great time while I was away!”
“Rachel was very communicative and our pups loved staying with her! Our dogs are high energy and Rachel did a great job of accommodating them. Rachel even sent us pics while we were away, which we loved!”
“Nissa took such wonderful care of our dogs! They had so much fun and I loved all the thoughtful updates while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing they were in great hands!”
“George and Erin were great with our puppy who is very energetic. Their yard is phenomenal, and their care was fantastic. We would definitely use them again.”
“Sometimes it's hard to really know if someone is a dog lover, but not Stephanie. It's obvious from the get-go that dogs are a part of her life. Meeting her for the first time, we knew our Maggie was in the right hands. She's attentive, sent us pictures and videos of Mags while we were on vacation, loving, and updated us as she cared for her. She's on our short list for regulars now. Definitely recommend!”
“They were absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie. From the moment we dropped him off, they were kind, patient, and super understanding. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Charlie was comfortable with them and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. They kept me updated and were very attentive to his needs. I’m really grateful for how well they treated him and I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend!”
“Mariah took great care of Edison Photos and updates regularly. Especially enjoyed the video that we sent of Edison playing with her dogs. Lots of exercise and outdoor playtime in their fenced and backyard.”
“Carol was great! Can't thank her enough. Knew my pup was in good hands after receiving pictures everyday with my dog having a big smile on her face! Definitely recommend and will be reaching out again for any future sitting!”
About: Growing up, I’ve always been surrounded with pets and been given the opportunity to care for dogs numerous times. I am very patient with animals and genuinely find joy spending my time with them. After recently graduating from college and moving into a studio apartment, it has been an adjustment not being surrounded by pets. Through Rover, I’m excited to not only help others, but also to find fulfillment spending time with pets. Although I work a 9-5, I am willing to make plenty of time before or after work to accommodate your needs. I am a morning person, so I would be more than happy to take your dog on an early morning walk or be there to let them out. I also will be able to take care of them in the afternoon. My weekends are free to help at any time. You can trust me with your pet because I treat animals with the same amount of respect that I’d treat any person. It is my priority to ensure their safety while also having fun. I would love to take them on walks at the park and am open to having them at my apartment if needed.
“Bill was amazing watching our hound, who can be anxious. He had great communication and sent plenty of pics throughout her stay. She seemed very relaxed when we picked her up! Will be using his services again.”
