“Chris took wonderful care of our Zoe. From the initial meet and greet Zoe felt at ease with Chris which continued during her stay. Communication was outstanding and put us at ease with leaving our fur baby for a few days. Thanks Chris.”
“Mila was an amazing dog sitter for my dog, Coco, over two nights. She was incredibly communicative, keeping me updated and reassured throughout Coco’s stay. Mila gave Coco all the attention and care she needed, making her feel right at home. It’s clear she’s not only professional but also a genuinely loving person who truly cares about the animals she looks after. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Mila to anyone looking for someone to take excellent care of their pet!”
“Kimberly is the best, she took such great care of my Neco. She cared for him for 6 days through the Thanksgiving Holiday. She sent me great pictures and videos of him daily. She is a true dog lover. I will definitely be booking her again to care for my dog.”
“Dear Carla and family thank you so much for the care you provided for our fur baby. We enjoyed seeing the pictures of her and with your dog Max, especially the picture of them going for a ride in the car-they looked so excited. It was comforting to receive your texts and pictures. Thank you”
“We found Steven on Rover last minute as a family vacation schedule shifted on us and his reviews were excellent. We certainly will confirm those high praises, as every step Steven took to assure us our Lucy would be excellently cared for, was met and exceeded. Steven is not only a top dog care provider, he is also a deeply knowledgeable canine expert with a passion for our furry four legged friends. We highly recommend Steven and will be boarding with him in the near future.”
“Casey and Marwa are the most accommodating and caring dog sitters, we have ever had. They do their best to keep with the routines that Indiana knows and then add extra long walks, treats, brushing, playing, and lots of love. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly. On top of that, they are super-flexible with drop off and pick up times and took Indy in on very short notice. Will definitely be back”
“Ariel is an extremely dedicated and kind dog sitter. When our pup was homesick and struggling, she did everything in her power to provide love and security for our dog. She took the dog on long walks to get out the energy and even went out of her way to purchase bones from Petco for our dog to chew on. We are so appreciative.”
“Ken and family did a great job with OllieVader (Ollie for short). Our family went on a short wked trip. Unfortunately NO Dogs Allowed. They cared for him like he was their own. Send pictures of him making himself at home. Drop off and pick-up we're a breeze. Definitely will book again with them.”
“Brianna was a very professional yet personable throughout the entire process. As a first-time customer, she put me at ease and reassured me with open communication before, during and after Cam's stay. Cam adapted to his new surroundings quickly. I felt good leaving him with Brianna. I definitely recommend her and will book her”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life and cannot remember a time I didn't love them all. My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own. I can handle big dogs and little dogs as well as am willing to clean out your cats litterboxes. I'm happy to tussle with big dogs and take naps with lap dogs anytime! I'm a college student looking for work over the breaks and any pet time over the semester as I'll be away from my own. I'm happy to work around my class schedule to be with your pets as much as possible. I have a mostly fenced yard with the only opening being the driveway but intend to do walks and keep pets leashed just for safety. My own home has two dogs that are great with other dogs, both of them being on the smaller side and great with people as well. When I'm up at school there will be no other pets up there and the space will be fully for your pets. I'm also able to do house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for your pets to make sure your pets are getting love and attention when you're away.
“I was a little nervous leaving my puppy behind so soon after getting her but Shandell was super sweet and made me feel comfortable and more importantly my Baby feeling comfortable with her. She sent me tons of pictures and videos reassuring me that she is safe and happy. She even gave me a harness to use when walking her since I can’t never find one in her size. She will be rebooked with Shandell within a few days. Would highly recommend ?”
“I felt comfortable leaving my pup with Nicolas. His home a was clean and spacious, and his neighborhood was suitable for dog walking. Would definitely recommend and request to board with him again.”
“Keyona was great with my 6 year old Shih Tzu. My mind was at ease with knowing he was in good hands, considering he’s never been with anyone other than a family member. She sent pictures and videos each day, which was a plus. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Lingli was so sweet and attentive the entire stay and was great about sending videos and pictures. My cat was taken care of so well and she's a really great communicator.”
“Ruth and family made us worry that our two dogs wouldn't want to leave their vacation. Walks, children, room to play indoors and out, late nights, and lots and lots of affection. We will definitely leave them here again!”
“Brittanie and Ryan took great care of our dog, Gunnar! They sent pictures of him every day. He was a happy dog. Their family was very welcoming and easy to work with. We would definitely use them again!”

“Maria did a wonderful job caring for my two kitties. I was able to go away and rest easy knowing that they were in good hands. She communicated well and took some really fun pictures and I was really pleased with her service and will definitely be calling on her again! I recommend her highly”
“First of all, the wife and I want to extend our thanks for agreeing to the booking with such a short turnaround time. This was a complicated set of drop-in visits, and Aye did very well. There were four cats to juggle: one senior who was fussy with both pills and diet, one cat prone to scarf and barf. Additionally, there were both automated and analog litter boxes, feeders, and water fountains . . . all that had to be maintained. Aye was kind enough to alert me to problems as they arose and implement solutions on the fly. It was a great deal to shove into two 30 minute visits a day . . . yet she still managed to send us copious pictures of our crew during our absence.”
“Riley was great!! I recommend her to help you with your pet needs! She was great with feeding and medication administration and everything else with my Schweet babe needed!”
“Cheryl was an incredible help with a last minute drop-in. She followed all of our instructions carefully and made sure our two small dogs were well cared for. Her prompt responses and photo updates were such a reassuring bonus. Thank you!”
About: I’ve cared for cats belonging to friends, family members, and clients throughout my life, and I’ve always enjoyed spending time with felines. While I haven’t personally owned a cat, I’ve gained experience interacting with cats of different ages, personalities, and comfort levels. I understand that every cat is unique—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm, respectful approach. My goal is to make sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Tracie, thank you so much! We came home to a neat and clean home and you took such good care of Jinx. Thank you for going above and beyond! I hope we can rely on your again in the future!”
“Ryan is such a great person. He was on time in all of his visits. He followed all instructions as I provided. I could not be happier with his service. Highly recommend”
“My cat Tass warmed up to Bronte immediately due to her relaxed and confident manner. She even brought lots of treats for Tass. Definitely will book with Bronte again!”
“I was away for 10 days, Liz was incredibly respectful of my space and took amazing care of my Layla making sure she was fed, snuggled, and entertained. Layla never does well with new people but somehow Liz’s amazing presence was an exception. When I got home, she had fully cleaned the apartment making it look as though I never left, if not better than when I left it. She made sure to keep me updated with EVERYTHING, sending me pictures and videos so I knew Layla was doing good. She also responded very quickly every time which lifted all my stress off of me as it was my first time leaving my apartment in the hands of a sitter. As a first timer on Rover, Liz well exceeded my expectations and I will definitely choose her in the future when I go on more trips!”
“Ember was wonderful and we can't say enough good things! Returning from adventures, it usually takes a day or two for our kitties' anxiety levels to calm down, but not this time. Our fur babies were calm upon our return (19days) -a true testament to her care!! They were happy, content, well-adjusted and well cared for!! Ember sent daily updates which put us at ease and sent photos that captured their true essence. She has a quiet sense of humor and her true love for animals shows! We appreciated her genuine care and will have her house sit again in the future. Thank you, Ember!!”
About: I’ve had cats since I was a kid! Whether your cat loves cuddles, playtime, or just a quiet presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the care needed to feel safe and secure when you’re away!
“Emma is a very caring and thoughtful pet sitter. I recently had a pet pass away and had a non refundable vacation I had to take shortly after. She was very accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure my cats were taken care of while I was gone.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Garrison
“As first time Rover-users, Rodney was both patient and helpful in guiding my wife and I through the process from start to finish. We received prompt responses to any and all of questions and were provided routine updates (with photos) throughout Bailey’s 3-day boarding stay. I would highly recommend using his services and we will definitely be contacting him in the future!”
“Brianna was a joy to work with. We dropped our pup off in the morning and we were sent photos and updates which was wonderful. I strongly recommend Brianna if you’re looking for an engaged and thoughtful dog sitter. 10/10!”

“My pup, Yumi, had a great time with Melanie and her pup. It was our first time doing a daycare service with Yumi but Melanie was very attentive and sweet to my Yumi. She was also very accommodating when my schedule had to change a bit as well and i greatly appreciate that. I felt comfortable and safe leaving Mr fur baby in her hands and would definitely book again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 13 years and have 2 dogs of my own. I’ve rescued stray dogs off the street before and put them in a safe environment. I was once very active in helping animal shelter. A close friend of mine is a Veterinarian and had asked me to dog sit for her when she traveled, it was a pleasure to handle 5 dogs at a time at her house. I enjoy taking walks in nature with dogs. I can also take care of chickens, horse, rabbits, hamsters, and fish when you are away. I have plenty of time to play with your dog and take them on walks. My schedule is open daily and weekly routine as well once established. I love to give dog treats and play ball with them. Taking them on long walks. I can also give them a lot of petting for attention. I will take pictures for updates on their activity.
