About: I have worked with farm animals including dogs and cats for about 2 years and I own a dog and a cat! I also love interacting with animals. I am looking for a simple job to keep me active and be able to give back to my community. I would love to care for animals of all shapes and sizes while also ensuring your home and pets are safe. In my home, we have a big backyard with plenty of room for dogs and a whole separate cat room. Within another person's house I would be respecting boundaries put up around the house and being consistent and well aware of clean up! I also love getting out, which would be favorable for a dog.
“I am so happy with the care that Hyesoo and family provided for Foxo. She sent videos, photos and updates everyday and Foxo looked so happy and well taken care of. I could tell he had the best time when I got him back. Will definitely use Hyesoo for boarding again.”
“I haven’t used Rover in awhile as I started traveling with my pug Captain...but for a recent quick trip I decided it was worth it. I saw Ben’s profile and thought he seemed like a great fit to watch Captain. Ben and his girlfriend loved watching Captain and raved about their time with him. I could tell Captain also enjoyed himself! Ben was also very responsive and accommodated my schedule for pick up/drop off. I’d definitely use Ben as our dog sitter for our next trip!”
“Cora was stellar!! She watched our golden, Maggie, over the Christmas holidays and we couldn’t have asked for better. She kept us updated with pictures and we could tell Maggie was at home, happy, and having a great time. Would absolutely book again with her!”
“We left Leo with Megan for nearly two weeks during our wedding/honeymoon. It was a long time to leave our pup with someone we didn’t know and we were nervous. Megan quickly calmed all our nerves by sending so many pictures and be very communicative. We’re so happy we decided to go with Megan and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Emily was great with our dog Reggie while we were away for a few days. She was quick to respond, flexible on timing, handled his medication schedule, and gave frequent updates. Would recommend her and use her again!”
“Ilya was phenomenal with our dog Olive. He gave her a lot of attention, taking her on many walks every day. Olive typically goes on hunger strikes when we're away and that she ate so much of her food every day is the best testament to the care Ilya offers.”
“Mike is the best! My four-month old goldendoodle had a great time staying with him. Mike is super responsive to all messages, and you can tell when you meet him that he really loves and connects with dogs. Would absolutely recommend him and plan to rebook in the future.”
“Genesis was absolutely amazing! I loved getting photos of Luna at the park and meeting new people. Luna is a huge dog and Genesis did an amazing job taking care of her.”

“Indra was absolutely incredible with Penny! I could tell from the beginning that she was in great hands, and all the photo updates confirmed it too. He was very communicative and attentive to making sure Penny’s typical routine was kept. Thank you, Indra (and thank you to your lovely gf too)!!”
“Michelle always takes excellent care of my girl, Gertie. She is responsive, provides regular updates, and is the kind of auntie every pup hopes to have. Gertie can't wait for her next sleepover there!”
“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
“Alan and Ying are beyond attentive, made us feel very comfortable and confident when leaving our pup with them. Great communication across the board!”
“Lyn watched Jack for 5 nights, it was his first time staying with her. Lyn was very professional, flexible, and caring! She was easy to communicate with and I received daily updates and pictures from her. Jack seemed to have a good time with her, I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”

This was my first time leaving my kitten and Jenna made me feel that she was extremely competent in caring for Olive. Will definitely request again the next time I’m on vacation!”
“Sarah took amazing care of our cat while on a week long vacation. Each visit she provided amazing updates and beautiful photos of our furry friend that we missed so much. I highly reccomend Sarah to anyone looking for someone caring to look after their pet and we hope that our cat gets her wonderful visits again soon!”

“Erin was a wonderful catsitter for our boy Merlot! She was kind, respectful, responsible, and communicative. We asked to receive picture updates and received daily photos of well-loved cat. I would recommend Erin without hesitation and will gladly ask her to watch Merlot again.”
“Robbie was great to have as a sitter for our two cats! She’s friendly to talk to and the cats were big fans of her. She is very communicative and accommodating. Her check-ins were timely and she always sent many pictures. Will definitely book her again!”
“Serena was super helpful and responsive. She took great pictures and kept us updated all weekend so we had nothing to worry about. Definitely recommend booking with Serena!”
“We are so grateful to have found Cecilia. She has taken great care of our cats while we were away and sent such cute photos of them playing. Cecilia is very thoughtful about what will make them most comfortable which we appreciate so much!”
“Katherine was attentive, communicative and overall very experienced with animals! She sent pictures and followed all our directions. She even went above and beyond by leaving ice cubes in our cats’ water because it was a hot day - such a nice touch. We have a super shy cat who usually doesn’t come out of hiding for strangers but he was out and about with Katherine! Will be hiring her again.”
“Hannah was great! Very communicative and sent lots of photos and details about her visit, along with making it easy to meet for keys etc. So glad my lil baby had someone to look after her and play with her while I was away 🩷”
“Emily did such a great job with Ziggy and Smokey! She was consistent, attentive, and super communicative. I felt like my babies were loved and well cared for while I was away.”
“Anna was a fantastic pet-sitter and I'm so glad I chose her to care for my cat Betty. Anna was excellent! She was responsive, communicative in booking, came over for a intro visit, and followed all the care instructions. She sent thorough updates on each visit, sent pictures, and really bonded with my (grumpy) cat. I loved her updates on my cat's behavior, bowel movements, and eating/drinking habits. I felt incredibly comfortable knowing I had her as a pet sitter, which is something all pet owners seek. I definitely recommend Anna for cat drop-in visits and intend to book her for future travel. Thank you Anna!”
“Kyle came over before I left to get the lay of the land and asked several questions that indicated he clearly knew about administering medications to cats. While I was away, he succeeded in overcoming her usual aversion to strangers and was able to give her the meds she needs each day as well as taking care of her food/water/litter needs. He did an excellent job.”

About: I grew up with dogs and trained my yorkie from puppyhood, so I understand how to build good habits and create a calm, friendly environment for dogs. With a background in animal science and behavioral neuroscience. I’m patient and attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs. also lots of play and walk! I can only care for dogs under 25lbs due to my apartment size, my own dog’s size, and my physique. This is to ensure your baby has enough room to play and safe to walk around with me. I am working remotely on Wednesday and Friday. My work is flexible and usually very chill on these days. I bring my own dog to dog parks and meet his dog friends throughout the day during these two days. On weekends, i bring my own dog to nearby big parks, hiking trails, beaches, and lake and I will make sure to do that with your dog too. Playtime guaranteed! I live in a small apartment in a large complex with a courtyard and rooftop green spaces, and I’m also close to two neighborhood parks and a fenced dog park where I take my own dog—a friendly 4-year-old Yorkie—every day. Dogs staying with me get regular walks, attention, and a calm environment; they’re welcome to sleep on the bed if they like, but I’m also completely comfortable following crate routines if that’s what they’re used to. I have worked with animals in the past and have experience in administering medications orally or through sub-q/ip injections.
“Karina is great! My dog Kobi is pretty nervous and timid around strangers and deals with separation anxiety too but Karina did a great job looking after him and I’m glad he made a friend with Luka too!”
“Shuhua took great care of my high energy border collie Jasper! She got him a lot of exercise and had great communication. Can’t recommend her enough”
“Andrea has been lovely to work with, my dog Kiko has really enjoyed daycare with her and is always happy when I pick him up. She is very reliable and communicative and has made our first Rover experience a very good one. I will definitely continue to come to Andrea when Kiko needs a sitter!”
“Lindsay is the best! This was our second time using her services, and we feel so comfortable leaving our pup Sammy in her care. She takes great care of Sammy, who is always happy to spend time Bentley. Highly recommend!”
“Maya always has a great time at Lynne’s! Lynne is great communicator and always lets us know about any other dogs that will be in her care while Maya is there. We look forward to booking with Lynne again in the future!”
“Krystal and William were amazing with their care in watching Suki! This was our first time using Rover and also our first time away from our girl so we were definitely nervous at first but when we met Krystal and William, we knew Suki would be in good hands! They provided regular photo and video updates and asked us for permission before giving Suki treats, which was really sweet and much appreciated!! Suki came home sleepy and all tuckered out from a fun day of play and meeting new friends along the way! Overall, wonderful sitters for our Suki and would definitely book again!”

“Maire is AMAZING. I have a very anxious beagle and was nervous about leaving her for a few days while I was out of town. Maire immediately made her (and my cat!) feel comfortable during the meet and greet and I knew it would be a perfect fit. She was also able to accomodate an additional dog walk/drop in weekend request on short notice. I received multiple updates and photos while I was away and I could tell they had a great time. I would absolutely recommend Maire for any and all Rover needs.”
About: My family has had dogs and cats since I was young and I now have a cat of my own. As a kid I got to know my neighbors through their dogs. I have experience taking take of dogs of various breeds, sizes and ages. I am currently working full-time with a flexible schedule. Let me know what you need and I will do my best to make it work. I quadruple check that harness and leash are secure before we even leave the house. Every pet has their own needs and will discuss with you before taking care of your pet.
About: I have a dog and a cat and I have never met an animal I didn't get along with! I raised my dog from being a puppy and watched him grow into my senior boy! I also have experience living with and caring for a variety of dogs, all the way down to a tiny 6 pound dachshund. I also have plenty of cat experience and have cared for and lived with many of those as well :) I emphasise patience and respect. I typically work from 4-late so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend mid-day for a walk or home visit. For in home visits I will respect and adhere to any rules or specifications you lay out for your pet. For walks I will adhere to any specific route you would like us to take or area of the city you would like us to stay in.
About: I’ve worked in doggy daycare, I’ve trained my grandmother’s puppy, ✨I have a certificate in basic knowledge of dog body language✨, will clean up all accidents, I’m comfortable & capable of taking care of all dog sizes, and most importantly - I will make sure your furry friend has the best time! I’m extremely loving towards dogs and super passionate in making sure they’re happy :) After all, they unconditionally care for us - it’s only fair we give them the same respect. I take great pleasure in making sure your companion is safe and fully fended for while you’re away! I work a part-time job currently, but I get to choose my own schedule and can tailor it to fit your needs! I’m also a full-time college student but have acclaimed time management skills. *Please note that Rover only lets me choose day availability. You may request a day that appears open, but my availability is dependent on the specific times that you select.* I’ll feed your pet/s, frequently give water when needed, make sure they get playtime, take them outside to go potty (or help them to go inside if you prefer pads), give treats on good behavior (if permitted), and overall make sure you have a happy pup :)
“We love Johnna. She has a lot of experience with dogs and training, and she helps to maintain training plans while she’s walking our dog, which is very helpful. Plus our dog loves her!”
“Alicia did a great job doing lunch time walks for a week on short notice. She was communicative, on time, and handled our rescue pup’s needs and tricky walking style extremely well! Would definitely hire again, and enthusiastically recommend.”
“Very communicative throughout the session. Cleo and i’s first time using Rover and Kieran made the experience super easy and was very patient with Cleo to ensure she was able to fully utilize her potty break & get her steps in :)”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs for most of my life. I raised, trained, and took care of 2 very different dogs of my own starting 7 years ago. One of them is a rescue with his own specific needs and quirks so I am experienced with reactive and nervous dogs. I also have cared for many other people’s dogs. I’ve walked and care of senior dogs and helped with their unique care needs. I am attentive, responsible, and genuinely enjoy building bonds with the animals I care for. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you are away. I am currently a part time retail worker, so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule for carrying for your animals. I am available for walks and in home visits everyday of the week, and I am flexible and easy to reach to set up the exact plan for your animals. I am very aware that each and every pet are very different. That’s why I am attentive and detail oriented in order to properly care for your pet in the way that it needs.
“Zoe was awesome. One of my pups can be anxious. She was patient and supportive and even gave them an extra long walk! Thanks Zoe-hope you’ll do it again!”
“Alyssa was fantastic!! Took the time to meet my pup & go over instructions. She did great my dog & I always came home to a very happy & tired dog. Would definitely recommend booking with her”
About: I have many years of experience looking after dogs having taken care of my dog Lexy since we got her 12 years ago, along with helping out with my family’s two dogs in Jordan whenever I visit. Whether it is taking them out on walks, routine feedings and medicine, or just giving them attention and playing with them, I know what it takes to look after a pet. I am currently a student at Boston University and I have a schedule that would allow me to be with pets most of the time throughout that day. I can be around for feedings, walks, and just to give them the attention they need. I live in a spacious apartment near a park in an animal friendly building. I will be able to cater to pets needs as they come.
“Sasha was extremely responsible and responsive, despite us reaching out on short notice! We really appreciated her updates from the walk. Would recommend her to anyone!”
About: While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for pets. I’ve had two cats for the past 4 years and have pet sat for friends and family when they’ve needed help. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow whatever routine and instructions help you and your pet feel most comfortable. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. I work full-time (6am-2pm) as a scientist, so I’m generally available for afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. My schedule can be flexible though to accommodate for early morning visits. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and make sure I can give your pet the time and attention they need before accepting a booking. I use Rover myself so I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable until you’re back. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.
“Thank you Kristina for caring for Ellie and Appa. You provided so many amazing photos and listened to my instructions! Ellie especially seemed to have a lot of fun going for walk! I will definitely be looking to have you watch them again, thank you!”
“Emily is reliable, consistent, and flexible. She provides thorough updates of her walks with pictures and feedback. I trust her 100% to care for my one year old Maltipoo, Milo. Highly recommended!”
“Alissa is an amazing dog walker. We deeply appreciate how reliable and consistent she is, and how well she manages our dog with reactivity. She always comes on time and has been mindful of the summer heat when going on walks. Alissa has been an absolute asset to our family and we are wicked lucky to have her!!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who grew up with two Australian Shepherds and now help care for my family's two Aussies. Having been around dogs my whole life, I'm comfortable with pups of all ages, but I especially love caring for puppies and keeping them happy, active, and entertained. I recently finished graduate school, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve. Whether that's walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. What sets me apart is my experience with energetic dogs, my genuine love for animals, and the time I can dedicate to your pet. I'll treat your dog like they're one of my own and make sure they have a fun, comfortable stay while you're away. I recently finished a Master's program, so I am taking some time off before starting a job. This means I have flexibility in my schedule and I can be accessible for walks or check-ins at any time of the day! I prioritize the well-being and comfort of the pets in my care. I engage your pet in regular exercise and play sessions to keep them physically active and mentally stimulated. This can include walks, interactive toys, and games tailored to their energy levels and needs. I provide individual attention and affection to each pet, ensuring they feel loved and secure during their stay. I strive to maintain a consistent routine for your pet by following their regular schedule, including feeding times, exercise routines, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I maintain open and regular communication with you as the pet owner, providing updates on your pet's well-being, activities, and any concerns or questions that may arise.
“Lucy is so wonderful and such a caring and kind sitter. She is responsive, helpful, and communicative! I felt so at ease knowing she was spending time with my pup while I was at work. She made sure he got a great walk and had plenty of water after their walk. I can’t say enough positive things about Lucy. We appreciate her so much and are so grateful we met her !!”
