I really appreciated the meet & greet along with the pictures he would send as updates during her stay. I look forward to booking Marlee a stay with him again in the future.”

“Alanis and Marco were wonderful to work with. They were very professional and made the whole process smooth and easy. Elsa seemed very comfortable during her stay, and I appreciated that they have their own dog, Zoro, so she was able to socialize and spend time with another dog. It was clear they took good care of her, and the thoughtful note and toy they left were such a sweet surprise. I would definitely trust them to watch Elsa again”

“We unfortunately had to leave our new 2.5mo puppy for ten days only a couple weeks after adopting her. She was in the middle of housetraining which made us nervous but Adam was fantastic with her. He helped reinforce housetraining with Rey, gave her lots of attention, took her on good long walks, and kept us updated the whole week. Would definitely recommend Adam, especially for high energy puppies like ours.”

“Michele was quick to respond to any of our texts while she was taking care of our two cats, and sent us pictures daily. She was so kind as to come two days early to stay with one of our cats who was having some health issues. She paid extra attention to one of our cats who has health/behavioral issues and notified us of any issues the cats were having. We felt comfortable leaving them in her care and would definitely hire her again!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog named Biscuit and spent high school volunteering at my local humane society. Lately, I’ve been caring for three of my friends’ dogs, and it’s reminded me how much I enjoy being around them. I am currently a social work student looking to schedule some walks on my off days. Spending time with dogs never feels like work — they keep me grounded, present, and full of joy. I'm currently a social work student and have most availability on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I'm open to a consistent weekly walks or last minute support on those days. I take care of pets with a calm, attentive, and grounded approach. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, low-stress environment where your dog can feel comfortable. I follow your routines and I take time to get to know your dog’s personality and needs. I’m patient, respectful of boundaries (yours and your pet’s), and always aim to build trust through consistency and care.
About: I enjoy leading an active lifestyle, being outdoors and in nature. In fact, that's why dogs have 4 legs-so they can experience more of the benefits of walking! My goal is to care for your dog as if my own child and to provide a SAFE time for play, so you have peace of mind. Also, I'm currently learning a lot about dog care & behavior from YouTube University 😄 It's rewarding to be responsible for taking care of someone's loved one-even for a nice short walk. Being around dogs is therapy and makes me feel like a playful kid all over again 💩 I'm always down to set up a meet & greet so we can chat about hobbies, food and more doggy details. Currently, I have a flexible schedule and always make time for going on walks, preferably afternoon and evenings. 👉🏻Tips for your dog that keeps pulling 🐕🦺 🐾 When the dog is walking in front it's the one in charge, that's no good 🐾 You want a loose leash dog at your side 🐾 Be aware of your BL. Don't tense up, be calm with relaxed shoulders 🐾 Short sideways tug of leash, if you want to change directions and take the lead 🐾 Use a firm 'NO', don't worry it's healthy Remember, practice and patience are 🗝️ I want to advocate for dogs because it's our public doodoo. It's meaningful for me to help protect our pets as this gives me a sense of pride and joy.
“Lauren is the best. It was our first time using Rover and wanted to be sure our sitter was responsive and experienced. Lauren was exactly that. She sent photos and videos at every feeding and playtime. We’ll certainly have Lauren back to watch Arlo soon!”


“Briana is always reliable, communicative, and takes more than amazing care of Oliver. Every time I come back, he is calm and happy which is tough as he runs anxious and gets stressed easily. Always grateful for Briana and her thoughtfulness when it comes to petsitting!”

“Kristina was wonderful with my two cats, one of whom proved rather difficult. She was patient, kind, communicative, and overall a lovely person. She stepped in to help when my initial booking didn't work out and it was such a relief to have someone so responsible and caring looking after my kitties. Cannot recommend enough.”


“Rose is so great with my cats and sends me detailed updates. She spends time connecting and playing with them while I’m away which makes me feel a lot better when I have to leave them. Highly recommend her.”

“Dennis was perfect - he took care of everything we asked and even cleaned a little for us, and sent pictures every day. He was also super communicative and responsive which I really appreciated! I can tell our two cats liked him a lot too :)”

“Sorry I didn’t respond sooner - we got home really late on Tuesday/Wednesday morning and I was right back into the office and life. Thank you for doing a wonderful job and the excellent communication. Our oranges were both alive and well and what more could we ask for! Despite Theo being a spicy Cheeto I know that they were both very appreciative of you ensuring they had food, water and fresh litter each and every day. Hope you are well and we will absolutely be asking you if you’re available to check on them in the future!”


“Elva is amazing as always! Really trust her with our pet cats, very attentive and responsible sitter! Our cats can be shy around new people, but they take to Elva very well, excellent caregiver! Highly recommend”

“Jaixa has done it again!! I had a last minute international trip and she was so accommodating and was able to check up on Fuji regardless. She was reliably updating me, sending me pics daily, and was so gracious through a small nipping incident when Fuji got excited (sorry again!). I returned to a happy healthy clean kitty who I'm pretty sure did not miss me at all and wonders where Jaixa went :D You're the best Jaixa!”


“Ambroja is great. She was timely in her visits and kept our cat well fed and entertained during our absence, sending us photos and short videos every time. It was our first time using a cat sitter and she made the process feel very easy and straightforward.”


“AMAZING sitter! He took great care of my cat, and checked in every day with pictures and updates. Clifmon left my house cleaner than when I had left, and I felt very confident with them taking care of my house and my cat during a trip out of state over thanksgiving. HIGHLY recommend Clifmon to anyone who wants a caring, compassionate, reliable sitter!”


“Five stars for Secret, a real poet and fun animal person. My scaredy cat Monk warmed right up to her and he was super relaxed when I came home. Took very good of all my feline friends. Definitely recommend,”

“Alanis and Marco M. were absolutely amazing with Mila. From the very beginning, they were kind, attentive, and made her feel completely at home. They were also incredibly flexible with scheduling, which made everything so easy and stress-free. Mila was always genuinely happy to see them, and that alone gave me total peace of mind. I couldn’t be happier with the care they provided and would absolutely book with them again. Highly, highly recommend.”

“I booked a day care at Kamil’s house for 2 days for my dog. I was worried as I never had to use a day care service prior so I wasn’t sure if my pup would be okay being with someone new. He also just had surgery so obv I was a bit more anxious. But when I dropped him off the second day he started howling when he saw Kamil (in a good way) and I knew he def enjoyed his stay!”

“Carlos took amazing care of our boy, Snoopy. We just adopted Snoopy a month ago and he has some separation anxiety.

About: Started caring for cats at 15 then would board friends dogs while they travel and have even fostered dogs at risk of euthanasia and/or stray dogs traveling from Texas. I work full time m-f however am able to wfh as needed and always have enough time to cuddle and play with furry friends. Weekends are always free for outdoor play time or indoor snuggle sessions. I am in a spacious apartment with a 3 year old cat and 9 year old dog. Both are friendly and love to nap all day. More than enough space to be separated if needed.

“Nathan is a great walker. Since the meet and greet, Phoebe(my dog) and him got along together very well. Nathan was very understanding of phoebe being scared of the city noises during her walks and he even helped taking her out the building which we appreciate very much. He communicates very well, follows instructions to the dot and is very playfull with phoebe. If I didn’t have a permanent walker, I would’ve totally kept him. I recommend Nathan 💯”

“Alex was our walker for 13 weeks! Multiple multiple times a week, she responded sooo quickly, soo professional and accommodating! Seriously my dog loved her and PJ and he walked so amazing!! She was able to somehow get him to pee in all weather! So glad to have found her thank you so much Alex!!”

“Such a delight to work with. She’s an effective and quick communicator. Super accommodating to your needs and needs of your pet. Alicia was flexible and made both of our schedules work. My dog, Fiona, took a liking to her immediately. Fiona could sense that Alicia is a good person and someone she can trust. Alicia was gentle with Fiona, so I could easily feel safe with her in Alicia’s care. I am currently injured with limited mobility, so Aleicia was also attentive to my needs and helped me out in the best way she could. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart because I have been so worried about providing Fiona with a regular walk schedule and proper exercise and she took a lot of weight off my shoulders. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Alicia!!! She went above and beyond for myself and my fur baby to provide an incredible and easy experience. She will be the only reason that I will continue to use Rover in the future.”

“I had an AMAZING experience with Luis! I definitely recommend Luis and I will definitely call him again next time I need someone for my baby Blanco. I booked him for 3 weeks and he was here with no problem, he was great with not only walking blanco but also teaching blanco to be more calm. Blanco got used to him incredibly quickly and they bonded very well. Luis was an amazing walker and I will definitely book him again in the future.”

“Cristin was reliable, thoughtful and flexible. She was professional, friendly and easy to contact and we will be working with her in the future for our dog care needs! Lily seems to really enjoy her walks. If you’re located downtown Cristin’s a gem!”
“I am so thankful to have found Serge on Rover. My regular dog walker had to move away with little notice, and I needed a walker ASAP. Based on the reviews, I took a chance on Serge and knew I had made the right choice from the first time we interacted. He is so communicative, and I can tell he loves dogs. This is definietey the guy you want walking your dog.”
