“This was the first time using Tasha. It was a family emergency so there was no time for a meet & greet. This is a dog friendly home. The other dogs there were Gus’ size & he felt immediately safe.

About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart. I currently have a 13-year-old black cat named Watson, so I understand the unique care, patience, and attention cats need at every stage of life. Caring for a senior cat has given me experience with maintaining routines, recognizing changes in behavior, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. In addition to being a cat owner, I’ve been pet and house sitting for families for over 11 years and have cared for cats with a wide range of personalities—from playful and social to shy and independent. I know that every cat is different, and I take the time to earn their trust while respecting their boundaries and routines. Whether your cat needs playtime, cuddles, medication reminders, fresh food and water, litter box maintenance, or simply a caring companion while you’re away, I’ll provide attentive and reliable care. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
“We are newbies to Rover and Marler did not disappoint. Our kitty 'Dite is not much of a people kitty but Markee did a great job with taking care of 'Dite.'Marlee actually got'Dite to interact with her. So it's a paws up to Marlee!”
“Katie is amazing! She took great care of our cat, communicated well and often, and had our trust from the beginning. Would love to work with Katie again in the future.”
“Stephanie was so helpful and kind with our two dogs! This was a first time using Rover and Stephanie exceeded all needs and eased our worry. With a senior dog who needs extra care and a younger dog who has much more energy, she was able to accommodate both of our boys to keep them happy and safe!”
“Rachel was the perfect fit for my cat Ruthie! She connected right away with her. I love the report card details of observations Rachel made as well as the photos or Ruthie I received from her while I was away. I would highly recommend Rachel and Rover in general. What a wonderful service they provide with wonderful caregivers!”
“Reagan was great with my kitty Bowie! She was very patient and helpful while I wasn’t home allowing me to enjoy my vacation. I will definitely request her again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ward Parkway
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of him. He loves hanging out with you. It's funny because we will tell him where he's going in the morning and he gets so excited!”
“Ron is always so patient and understanding with my pup. He is always actively working to try and make daycare suitable for all types of dogs and works hard to meet the needs of the dogs he cares for. I never worry about Link when he is with Ron!”
“Can’t recommend enough. Stephanie was available short notice & super considerate before/during Shiloh’s stay. She kept me up updated & Shiloh seemed very comfortable.”
“Great communications (several check ins, including picture) to let me know my mini goldendoodle Enzo was settling in with the other dogs and doing well during his first day. Enzo was calm and confident when I picked him up - indicating it was a good experience for him too :) Thanks!”
“I can't thank Griffin enough for taking care of my dog on such short notice. They were incredibly accommodating and provided excellent care. Highly recommended!"”
About: I have been the "go-to" dog sitter for my circle of friends for years, and I’ve realized that the only thing better than having one dog in the house is having two (or three if you have a pair of pups!). I’m opening up my home to Rover guests primarily to provide some social fun for my own dog, Ripley. Ripley is a high-energy ball of joy who loves to play, so if you have a dog that never seems to tire out, they’ll find a kindred spirit here. Whether it's rounds of fetch, wrestling in the yard, or just having a buddy to nap with, your dog will be integrated into our daily routine. What to Expect: • Individualized Attention: Because I only sit 1 family’s dogs at a time, your dogs will get plenty of attention! • Active Days: We specialize in high-energy play. If your dog loves to move, they’ll come home happy and exhausted. • A Present Sitter: I work from home so your dogs will have plenty of face time with me! All dogs with an easy going temperament that are ready to play are welcome. I work from home so your dogs will get plenty of belly rubs and play time. I typically give Ripley a long walk (3 miles) after work that your pup is welcome to join or we can just stick to outdoor play time. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog that would love to play outside with your pup. I will send you daily updates and photos. I am happy to accommodate crate-trained dogs (bring your own crate) or dogs that roam a little bit more free (provided they don’t have destructive tendencies😂). I am a bit of a toasty sleeper so unfortunately no dogs in the bed, but they are welcome to sleep at the foot of my bed or anywhere else in the house!
“Always the greatest feeling to leave Kayla or Winston with Stephanie, who absolutely loves her. When both dogs are dragging you to the front door to get inside it’s always such a good feeling.”
“Christine was super flexible with our last minute need for someone to watch our dog while we were on vacation. Our dog came home happy and tired from a day of fun playing with Christine and her kids.”
“Couldn’t be a better first time Rover experience! Clover had a great day and Allison was awesome in communicating and 6:20 am pick up sure made my day easier. Will use again! 10/10”
“This review is slightly overdue but Megan is amazing! She has been working with my puppy for a few months now, letting him spend the day with her. She is great with dogs, spends time teaching him commands, helped with potty training, the works! I cannot recommend her enough to someone looking for a new rover to care for your pup.”
“Jessica & Josh were amazing! They excitedly agreed to take care of my very young puppy. They sent lots of updates, responded quickly, and were flexible with pickup/dropoff. Ill definitely use them again and I highly recommend!”
“Lindsey was wonderful with our pup, Carlton! He spent several hours exploring in the amazing backyard with the sweetest dog, Stella. Love Lindsey’s care of our boy!”
“Jennifer did a wonderful job caring for our bulldog. He loved her so much and her space was just the right size with a fenced in yard. Highly recommend her and will be using her again.”
“So glad to have met Ramon, and his dog, Dante. He took fantastic care of my dog, and even took him for a walk! After work, I brought a happy and tired dog home! I already have other dates booked. Thanks again, Ramon.”
“Melissa and her kids are so great, and really hit it off with Poppy! You can tell they have a lot of love for doggies ?. Great communication and lovely home (in a perfect location for us). We will definitely be booking again!”
About: I LOVE pets — whether it’s having a pup stay with my dog and me, popping in to feed a cat, or walk a dog in the middle of the day, I’m happy to help out. I have a consulting business, and just wanting to add this stuff to make some supplemental money for trips and other expenses. I work full time from home and own my own business, so my schedule is very flexible! I can bop over to walk your dog, feed your cat, and water your plants if you’re out of town! I have a fenced in yard and have a crate for my dog or yours if necessary. I work from home, so I’m here most of the time and can give your pup lots of love and affection!

“Amber is great with my malinois Hendrix! She always leaves good notes on how he did on his walks and sends photos so I get to see my sweet boy while I’m at work! She has great communication and has been very flexible with me.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Growing up with dogs taught me not only how to care for them, but also how to understand their unique personalities, needs, and routines. For the past 13 years, I’ve provided trusted pet and house sitting services for families, caring for pets as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I understand how important it is to maintain their routine, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and create a safe, comfortable environment while you’re away. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a familiar and caring presence, I’m committed to making sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands. As a full-time artist, I have a flexible schedule and don’t work a traditional 9-to-5 job, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, whether that means drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, walks, administering medications, or simply providing companionship and comfort. Because I work independently, I can be flexible with scheduling and am often available throughout the day for check-ins and updates. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I make it a priority to maintain their routines so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely so pets can stay in a familiar environment with minimal disruption. This includes feeding schedules, walks or litter box care, playtime, medication if needed, and any specific routines or preferences your pet is used to. I also focus on giving pets plenty of attention and companionship so they feel calm and secure while their owner is away. I’m very mindful of keeping the home clean and respecting the space, and I always provide updates so you know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s dogs or cats, my goal is to create a stress-free experience where your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for until you return.
“In the short time we have used Abby as a Rover, she has been a great fit for our family and fur baby, Finn. She has been reliable, responsible, and caring towards her. We appreciate her flexibility with scheduling and ability to work with Finn's specific needs. We would highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Ron was terrific! I loved that I was able to find a walker in my neighborhood. He and Kerry bonded and they both seemed to love each other’s company.”
“Really appreciated how Jennifer wanted to get to know our doggie better before she is boarding him in March. She genuinely was interested in what was best for him and putting him at ease. You could tell how comfortable she was with any situation and we can't wait for Zachy to spend some time with her!”
“Michael was great! Super quick to respond and willing to help on extremely short notice. My boyfriend and I are super sick and he took time out of his evening to come help our puppy get rid of some energy on a long walk. Much appreciated!”
“Meg was amazing and that’s is still a understatement!! My dog absolutely loved her. She messaged me the whole time to make sure I felt comfortable while on a trip. Will definitely be booking with her again and again in the future. I highly recommend. Just don’t keep her to busy I still need her lol.”
“Absolutely wonderful! Paloma let me know when they were on their way and was super sweet and kind. Even ran with Percy a few times at my request and he came back wiped- goal achieved! Will def be back again! Tysm!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and hands-on experience I bring to every dog I care for. I raised my own dog, Ivy, through every stage of life, which taught me patience, training basics, and how to truly understand a dog’s needs. I’m comfortable with puppies who need structure and positive reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who may need slower walks, medications, or extra TLC. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I naturally plan my days around walks, outdoor time, and being home. I enjoy starting mornings with fresh air and walks, staying active during the day, and winding down with relaxing time on the couch — perfect for giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Caring for animals feels like a normal part of my life, not an extra task In my home, I keep a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can relax, play, and stick to their normal routines. They get regular walks, exercise, potty breaks, and plenty of cuddle time. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s schedule closely so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m mindful of feeding routines, medications, training consistency, and keeping your space tidy. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away.
“Can’t imagine having a better person to walk our dog, Guinness. Clearly loves dogs, conscientious, punctual and an easy going personality. Not to mention Guinness LOVED him immediately. We are very pleased and look forward to having him back.”
“Jessica was wonderful with our Irish Setter, Brody! She is incredibly professional, compassionate, and patient. She is very knowledgeable having cared for a variety of breeds and having had her own active dogs in the past. She was timely and creative at ensuring he got exercised properly even on days where the weather wasn't cooperative. When we arrived home, he was excited yet calm and happy. Clearly, he was well cared for each day. Thank you, Jessica!”
“Michaela goes the extra mile for your fur family. She gave my boys a potty break and took them on a big walk in the rain! She knows how to take care of the giant babies with big personalities. You definitely need to book her....but not take her away from us!”
“Magy has been walking my excitable younger dog and visiting with my older dog daily for several weeks now. When she met the two dogs, she was calm and sweet and they both reacted positively to her immediately. Magy is reliable, good with two dogs with very different personalities, and even taught the old dog some new tricks! Every day I come home to a message about her visit with the dogs. I highly recommend Magy.”
