“Lan did a great job caring for Martha and Susan! The picture update was appreciated, but girls looked very happy. Lan’s dog, Lucy, was adorable and friendly.”
“Betsy is a wonderful dog sitter to my dog, Marty. I'm very particular with who I trust with my dog because he's such an important family member. I know if Marty is in Betsy’s care that I never have to worry about him. It's really nice receiving daily updates with photos so I know what he's up to and have peace of mind. Marty now looks forward to vacations at Betsy’s house! Her new fenced in yard is a great addition!”

“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.”

We absolutely will use her again and know Louie had a great time!”

“Molly was so so sweet and patient with my two cats. I had her stop in for 5 days while I was on vacation and I could tell from the photos, they really enjoyed her presence and felt cared for. Molly stayed for longer than was needed and also brought my kitties a cat toy they love🥹. I don’t have enough good things to say about her care for my babies. This was my first time ever using Rover and Molly made my experience 110% exceed my expectations. I will be re-booking with her in the future. Thank you so much Molly! ❤️”
“Sophie was amazing!! My cats are shy and scared around strangers and go into hiding, but Sophie was patient and coaxed them out (with a judicious application of treats). They did great under Sophie's care, thank you!”
“Thor was absolutely great with our very shy and hard to please cat! He allowed her to get to know him on her timetable and always followed her lead. This allowed her to now feel more comfortable with him than anyone outside our immediate family. In communications, Thor was always responsive, clear, and professional. Lastly, he left our house neat as a pin. I would wholeheartedly recommend Thor for pet sitting!”
“Tanya was so thoughtful and did an excellent job looking after our cats! It was clear in the pictures that our kitties were comfortable and happy with Tanya looking after them”
“Jayda was great with my cat. In addition to daily care needs, she played with her and gave her a lot of attention. I’ll reach out to her next time I need a cat sitter.”
“Samantha took care of my cat Maple again while I was on vacation and she once again provided exceptional care. I really appreciated her thoughtful and detailed summaries of her visits as well as all of the pictures. I also left a lot of specific details to follow regarding Maple’s care and really appreciated how Samantha adhered to them all. I was at ease once again during my vacation knowing that Maple was in good hands!”
“Rob was a fantastic pet sitter! He is so good with the cats and very conscientious about everything. He was always right on time and asked about anything I hadn’t made clear. Highly recommend him and will contact the next time we leave town.”
“Thank you, Amanda, for your excellent care of the cats while we were away! We really appreciated the detailed reports on how the girls were eating & their behavior. Everything I requested was attended to perfectly and we came home to find the cats relaxed and apparently unfazed by our trip. I could finally relax & have fun knowing they were in your capable hands--thanks so much!”
“Alisha was wonderful with our senior cat while we were on vacation. She was extremely flexible when we had some unexpected home renovations happening and really put our minds at ease. Our boy was well taken care of!”
“Julia was fantastic! When I got home from my long vacation I could tell that my kitty was happy and content. Even tho I have only 1 kitty, she took the responsibility and care of him seriously and was mindful and professional. I will 100% use Julia again!”
“Hannah was so great with our cats (one very timid, one very playful) and even helped put a cone on one of the cats which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend!”
“Bonnie did a great job with our two cats while we were away. One of our cats has some medical issues, and Bonnie had no issues administering medication to him. She sent us great updates while we were away and was responsive, consistent, and reliable. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our cats and our home were in good hands!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brooke. My husband and I went overseas and I was very concerned about leaving our kitties with someone that they did not know. Brooke stepped in and took fantastic care of them. She was with them often played with them, took lots of photos and videos of them and they really fell in love with her. I will always use Brooke going forward and never be worried about leaving again. Thanks so much Brooke. You’re awesome.”

“Lydia is extremely responsive and made things very easy for this first-time Rover user and her puppy. Puppy came home happy & tired but not exhausted or stressed out. Lots of updates & photos throughout the day. Great backyard space to run around.”
“Hopps has enjoyed his days with Kara and the family. He looks forward to playing in the yard with Oscar, walks with the kiddos and having someone to follow around all day. Kara is so great at documenting the day with pictures and reporting on his activities. I know he’s in good hands 😊”
“Lizzy & her husband took GiGi for a fun hour long walk in the snow. They gave her a lot of attention and cuddles. They will be great caregivers for your pet.”
“Kevin had the time of his life! We’ve tried commercial daycare facilities and he gets super overwhelmed, but he instantly felt at ease here. He was a pooped pup when he got home and clearly had a blast - he even made some new friends! We loved getting all the updates from Emily during the day too - it was so fun to see what he was up to and reassuring for us that it was a great fit, especially since it was his first time. We will definitely be back!”

“So, i was pretty nervous to leave my precious, sick, 4-month-old furbaby with an internet stranger. But we had good conversations beforehand and he had lots of good reviews. Well, the reviews are well deserved! Puppy had a fine time. Howie (and his wife) clearly took great care of her! Would definitely book again. I just need to figure my schedule out.”
“Kendra and her headband were great! They shared photos, had good communication and were flexible for a last minute sit. Atlas looked like he had a great time. We will definitely use them again!”
“Tofte loves doggy daycare with Bethany! He had the zoomies today for the first when he got there which tells me how comfortable he is at her place since we've been having her sit for awhile. 😊”
“Thank you, Noelle, for being so caring with GiGi! I’m glad that she could enjoy your huge fenced yard and was able to chill at your house. Thanks for the pictures. It is true that she felt so comfortable with you so leaned up against your leg and loved to be petted. :) I WILL CALL AGAIN FOR GIGI’s DOGGY DAY CARE IN THE FUTURE!”

“Kayla was a life saver for me this past week! I typically work from home but was traveling for work - so Kayla came over during the workdays to take Barley for a walk.

I will definitely be using Kayla again on my next work trip!”

About: Hi! I’m Scarlett, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Some of my favorite memories growing up involve dogs curled up next to me on the couch, playing outside until they were completely worn out, or spending quiet evenings with my cat in my lap. Caring for animals has never felt like a chore to me—it’s something I genuinely love. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Right now I have a service dog who has taught me so much about patience and understanding anxious pets. Because she needs extra reassurance, I’ve learned to pay attention to body language, build trust at each dog’s pace, and create an environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I also have a 10-year-old cat that I’ve raised since she was young. When she started having trouble using her litter box, I didn’t give up or get frustrated. I spent time researching, changing her routine, and working with her until she was confidently using it again. Experiences like that have taught me that every pet communicates differently, and sometimes they just need someone willing to slow down and understand them. I’m especially comfortable caring for pets with medical needs. I’ve given insulin injections to my younger brother with Type 1 diabetes as well as a close friend’s diabetic dog, so needles and strict medication schedules don’t intimidate me. I’ve also administered eye drops, ear medication, and oral medications to my own dogs, including caring for one of my dogs while he struggled with painful eye conditions that required daily treatment. Since I’m studying nursing, being calm, detail-oriented, and following medical routines accurately is something that comes naturally to me. I’m also an active person. I love being outside, going on walks, running, and staying busy, so energetic dogs are honestly my favorite. Whether your dog loves long walks, games of fetch, or simply needs someone who can match their energy, I’m always excited to join them. At the same time, I’m just as happy spending a quiet afternoon keeping an older dog company or giving extra attention to a shy pet that needs a little more patience. Beyond dogs and cats, I’ve cared for snakes, fish, and plenty of plants (my room is basically a tiny jungle), so taking care of living things has always been a big part of who I am. Friends and family know me as the person who notices the little things—whether it’s a change in appetite, energy, or behavior—because I truly pay attention. When your pet is with me, my goal isn’t just to feed them and let them outside. I want them to feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. I’ll treat them with the same patience, love, and attention that I give my own pets, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my schedule! Right now, I’m available full time as I prepare to move to college. I always make sure every pet gets plenty of love, exercise, attention, and one-on-one care. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable and safe as possible by sticking closely to their normal routine. Whether that means following a medication schedule, taking a favorite walking route, or giving them extra cuddles before bed, I’m happy to do whatever helps them feel at home. I’m very detail-oriented and comfortable administering medications, including pills, eye drops, ear medications, and insulin injections when needed. I’ll always pay close attention to your pet’s behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I’ll let you know right away if I notice anything unusual. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. I’ll keep everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love while you’re away.
“Sophie has been an extremely reliable dog walker for our pup over the past 5 months! She was great at managing his high energy levels and figuring out a play/walk routine that worked well for them both. We are very grateful for her services!”
“Tilia did a great job with our pups. She was very kind and generous with her time and made it super easy for me as the owner. I barely noticed her coming and going but I know the dogs got some good exercise in. I appreciate her flexibility with splitting the walk between our older and younger pup who walk at very different paces.”
About: ** Will be starting a part-time job in September, potentially moving to full-time after. I will have flexibility, so feel free to ask about walks and drop-ins! I will most likely not be able to accept recurring Rover requests for the moment though.** No matter the size, breed or personality of your pet, earning their trust and friendship (along with your own trust) is my top priority. I grew up in a multi-pet household taking care of dogs, birds and small animals. Since then, I have taken care of horses, anoles, cats, parakeets and my curiosity for getting to know an animal's individual personality has only grown over that time. I currently have two dogs: an Australian shepherd and border collie mix, both of whom I raised from puppies by myself. We are an active family, walking/hiking and in general spending time exploring the neighborhood for hours a day, traveling together for camping or cabin vacations in our free time. It's cliche, but my dogs are truly my family and as a long-time Rover user on the customer side, I understand what it means to have a sitter/walker you can trust while you're away. I love finding people who strive to understand them as individuals and who are sensitive to their needs. My border collie is highly sensitive and I have learned to work within his limits, giving him the stimulation he needs by finding more isolated parks to sniff around, mental challenges inside, etc. that keep him entertained while reducing stress. I am more than comfortable getting to know your own pets' quirks and finding ways to keep their days consistent and stress-free. Pet care is already at the center of my life, as I have two energetic herding dogs. We walk frequently every day to help burn energy -- I like to let my dogs walk at their pace so they can sniff around and stimulate their brains while getting exercise. As someone with pets I understand the importance of trust-building in drop-in visit situations. As your schedule permits, we can meet beforehand via a meet and greet to get a feel for your schedule and space, and how to support your comfort and your pets'. Pets thrive with routine, and I strive to support that.
“Great dog walker! One of my dogs is very anxious around strangers and Hisham handled that really well. Timely communication, punctual, and positive & calm with the dogs. I will absolutely be recommending him to others.”
“Kiirsten was absolutely amazing with our process! She was kind, attentive, and made sure she got plenty of exercise and love. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Robert was great to work with. He and Waffle got along really well. Robert took the time to do a meet and greet and visit before the first walk, even on a short notice. Robert has been flexible and accommodating with his schedule to meet our needs. After the walk, he sent us detailed comments and photos of their walk. I plan on continuing to work with him on an ongoing basis. I feel like Waffle is in good hands!”
“Our dog Ollie loves Amy! She is flexible in her schedule and always lets us know what's happening during her walks with Ollie. He loves to go either super slow or super fast (especially when geared up for cold weather) and she always keeps up. She also takes great pics!”
