“I found a great family to watch my dogs over the weekend! Melissa, Angel and their 2 boys made my pups feel right at home! They sent photos and a video each day of the dogs sleeping, playing, watching TV on the couch with family. Mellisa and Angel are my new go to people with Rover.”

“Leila and her pup, Marley, are amazing hosts! If you’re looking for a family to love on your pets while you can’t I recommend this family! 6 older children in the house means your pets are always being loved on! Leila has a huge space in her living room for your pets to play and her backyard is a dog’s playground with everything they can explore! My one dog is a runner and Leila kept him safe and spoiled with his fun walks! Many pictures sent along with updates on how the pets are doing! We will definitely be repeat clients! Thanks, Leila!! 🤗”

“Monica was great. She allowed Sherpa to get accustomed to the surroundings and she had no problem accepting his large sleeping bed. She provided lots of pics to let us know he was fine and was very accommodating when we had to pick him up early. Great person to watch your pet!”

“If you would like a SUPER dog sitter for your fur baby, Shantel is your answer! She was a wonderful communicator during pre-care set up and all thru our fur baby's stay. (Although she did spoil him just a bit)! There is no question in our family that she will be the only person we request in the future if we are traveling in her area. We hope to see her in Sept and next summer again! THANKS to you Shontel and Jose for being Super awesome to our dog Zero. He misses you both!”

“Heaven was great kept us updated with pictures and videos of our little Vito. She was great and Vito enjoyed the care she provided. Will definitely use Heaven again thank you Heaven.”

“Rochelle is amazing! She sent me pics of my dog, allowed me to bring my pup earlier than scheduled. Even helped her with feeding properly. My puppy absolutely loved her stay and passed out for hours after I picked her up. Thank you Rochelle!”

“Abner was great! We just moved to the state and had no clue where to start with a dog sitter, but we felt comfortable leaving our pup with Abner very quickly. Very kind, and he clearly loves dogs. Our girl is pretty nervous but he took the time to make sure she was comfortable and she ended up having a great time.”

“This is my second time booking with Gwen. Each time was a phenomenal experience. Gwen was extremely thoughtful, provided frequent updates, and several pictures of my pup's vacation. Always appreciated, thank you!”

“Marie was easy to work with and helped get a last minute overnight set up for my mom’s dog. She was responsive, provided updates. Will use again if we are ever in the area.”
“Elaine was great with my pup Nugget. She sent daily pictures and updated me each evening about Nugget's day. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my fur baby was in such good hands. Will definitely book Elaine again!”

“Joann and Angelina were amazing with our dog! My Sully is a very anxious pup and attached to his humans. This makes it hard to leave him with someone new. Joann and Angelina made this difficult thing to do so much easier! Joann texted me throughout the day and even sent me some pictures to assure me that he was okay. Oh and their dog Remi is such a sweet boy and loves people and was so good with accepting my dog as well. Our day went longer than we expected and Joann and Angelina were willing to help out longer than expected. I am so thankful to them for taking care of my dog and will definitely book with them again when needed.”

“Once again Emily has taken great care of our baby! My dog was happy, relaxed and clean when I brought him home, which really shows how comfortable and safe he felt with her. Thank you!!”

“Scott continues to do an amazing job as a dog sitter for our dog Odysseus. Our dog has surgery and he is more anxious now. I was nervous about him staying someplace overnight again but we trust Scott and again he did not disappoint. He is so caring about animals in general. Shows so much compassion and love. Honestly, if you need a sitter or care in the area for your pets Scott is it! Thank you so much Scott!”

“Ana did a great job taking care of our pups! We were a little nervous because it was our first time using the service but she made it easy and kept us updated with messages and pictures!”


“Isabella did a great job caring for Roxie. She sent a bunch of nice pictures and reported that Roxie got along very well with her dogs, which was great to hear. Isabella is cheerful, flexible and very responsive to my messages both before and during the stay”

“I cannot say enough good things about Sharon. She’s an amazingly, caring woman who took exceptional care of Pia, my 14 year-old Shih Tzu in her home. And I encourage anyone else who wants a dog sitter - who takes small dogs, only one at a time, and is genuinely interested & attentive to your fur baby’s needs - book with Sharon. Highly recommend. I already have another trip planned, & Pia will be with Sharon in her lovely ranch home & fenced yard!”

“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”

“We boarded our 60lb Golden Doodle with Kathy for 7 nights. She was very well looked after, happy and healthy when we returned. kathy is great to work with and sent updates and was very careful to ask questions and follow suggestions of our dogs care. She's also a lovely lady and good communicator”

“This is the 3rd or 4th time we've used Ashley and she's absolutely AMAZING. I wouldn't trust anyone else in my home or with my pets. Thank you so much for all you do for us;)”


“Gilian is FANTASTIC! She had an instant rapport with all 3 of our kitties and she also was able to administer a pill to our cat Bruno easily. She has been awesome with communication and followed all our instructions perfectly. A+!”

“Jennifer did not just come over and feed my kitties, she bonded with them my giving extra attention, playtime, and love. We came home to two happy kitty cats and could not be more grateful for what she did as it eased our anxiety and concerns. We will definitely rebook for Jennifer all events and future vacations due to the compassion she exhibited. Thank you for all you did/do.”

“Gwen took excellent care of my 16 year old cat Polly while we were away. Polly is a sensitive cat and it can take some time for her to warm up to new people. Gwen had no problem giving Polly her liquid oral meds in our absence. I was able to have peace of mind during my vacation knowing Polly was in good hands.”


“Jenna communicates so well! Inga is a rescue who had a rough 2 years as a pup. It has taken Inga 14 years of TLC from us to get to where she is - lovable and sweet. Jenna is experienced and knows how to approach Inga and win her over her affection. Kudos to Jenna❣️”

About: I've always wanted a cat of my own, but unfortunately my family is allergic. Even though I haven't been able to have one at home, I've always loved being around cats and have taken the time to learn how to properly care for them. I understand the importance of keeping litter boxes clean, providing fresh food and water, respecting each cat's unique personality, and giving them attention on their own terms. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quiet companion, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I'll give them plenty of affection (if they want it!), keep their routine consistent, and provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I know that every cat is different, and I'll always care for yours with the same patience, respect, and love I'd give my own if I were lucky enough to have one.
“Rochelle is super nice and she takes really great care of pets. She was also incredibly flexible (we had some travel plan issues) and communicated very well the whole time with pickup/drop off planning. To top it off, we got nice videos every day :)”

Playing with them, training them, caring for them, it’s such a rewarding experience for both of us. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own, and they make my life so much better. I’m always building cat walls and catios, new interactive toys for the dogs, and whatever else I can do to give them all the best lives they could possibly have. When working with my family’s business, it’s always been “customized pet care needs.” I plan to stick with that. I have no allergies. I’ve cared for all ages and sizes of cats, dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, and probably a few other species that aren’t coming to mind at the moment. I can walk, hike, run, feed, clean up after, and administer some medication to a vast majority of your pets. Let me know what you’re looking for, and as long as I can do it, I will!

About: My name is Gaia, and I walk dogs with my dad - Jimmy. I grew up my whole life surrounded by animals, and love caring for them big or small!

About: I've volunteered at AWSOM Animal Shelter walking dogs & caring for cats. I've walked & taken care of dogs for friends and neighbors. Personally, I have 3 cats and a dog! I have a flexible schedule. I am available days & nights as well as on short notice. My Rover calendar is updated frequently, so booking availability is accurate! I have experience taking care of puppies and dogs that require close supervision. I can stay with pets when necessary, or drop by for visits & care throughout the day depending on your and your pet's needs.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs. I currently care for three dogs of my own, including a senior dog who requires extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I also cared for my previous dog throughout his battle with epilepsy. Administering his medication on schedule and staying with him during and after his seizures taught me how important it is to remain calm, attentive, and compassionate during stressful situations. Because of these experiences, I'm comfortable caring for senior pets, administering oral medications, and providing extra attention to animals with special needs. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with plenty of patience, affection, playtime, and reliable care. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Since I am a Nursing Student at ESU, my daily schedule is jam-packed with classes. However, my evenings are usually relatively open and I am always open to overnight sitting! I love animals with all my heart and spending time with different personalities is really special to me. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. In my client's home, I make it a priority to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, going on walks or playing as needed, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I'm also happy to administer oral medications and provide extra care for senior pets or those with special needs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I currently care for three dogs, including a senior dog, and I previously cared for my epileptic dog, ensuring he received his medication on time and staying by his side whenever he experienced a seizure. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to remain calm in unexpected situations. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless playtime, quiet cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I'll adapt to their individual personality and needs. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have many years of sitting dogs and cats! I am there to follow their regular feeding and walking schedule. I love to pet dogs, rub their bellies and make them feel safe while their loved ones are away! I’m happy to tell them their commands for treats if they know them. This is my full time job! I love taking care of pets and making them feel safe! I do what their owner has written out for me. If they have a fenced yard, or partial, I’ll make sure they are safe and cared for with lots of love! Whatever makes them feel safe, I would be happy to contribute to that.
“Shelby is great! I'm thankful we were able to connect. Things have been very hectic in our world and having someone we can trust walk our very bouncy 80lb puppy has been unbelievably helpful! Shelby asked some good questions about our pup before starting out and I trust her to take good care of Agnes while on their walks. Agnes comes back happy and sleepy everytime - it's a win for everyone!”
About: I’m sorry to say that my partner Rochelle has left the business to continue her education. I would like to introduce myself. My name is Vanessa Gibson. I am Rochelle’s mother and we worked with dogs for over 9 years. I am currently a stay home mom who is willing to babysit some dogs or cats to occupy her time. We have four cats and two dogs. We love all types of animals. We used to babysit a doctors' dog while she was away working or on vacation. We are always willing to learn new things. We are pretty flexible with our time. We are delighted to meet new dogs and cats. We available any time of the day as long as we're told ahead of time. We do not smoke. I am eager to bath your animal if needed. You can count on us. I am a mother of a younger boy who goes to school. I’m always up at 8 a.m. every morning to put my pups out to use the bath. When I have other people pups they get most of my attention. I have an open yard however, I have a rope on my back porch and the front of my house that I ties the pups on and they are free to roam as they please. They go out three times a day. And when the weather is nice they get to enjoy the weather. However, I don’t put the dogs to interact with each other unless I have help.
“Tara was great with our dog, Daisy. She definitely came in clutch since we needed someone to walk Daisy last minute on New Years Eve. She was professional and gave Daisy lots of love. 10/10 would recommend and hire her again. She did everything I asked and was super sweet. If you are on the fence, you will be pleasantly surprised, this is your sign to book with Tara.”

About: I grew up raising chickens & took care of them for 8 years! Raising them from chicks to hens - and taking care of all the coop cleaning, fence maintenance, and feeding & water refills.

Let me know if you have any sensitivities/ prefer certain cleaning products. Look Forward to meeting you & your pets and learning about their needs. Available to petsit overnight or do walks & checkins. Currently working as a substitute teacher (per diem) and working on personal projects. Able to be with animals most of the day. Have experience petsitting for groups of animals, up to 5 long term ( 3 cats, 2 dogs), often 2 dogs at a time, or 2 cats at a time. I also make sure to keep the house clean during and after - checking the mail regularly and keeping it in a bag or box for you on your return.

Let me know if you have any sensitivities/ prefer certain cleaning products. Look Forward to meeting you & your pets and learning about their needs. I make sure to feed the pets based on what their owner has prescribed and follow the routine! I also try to provide the dogs as much exercise as I can - if this is suggested -- so they get exercise and get to run around outside. For cats, I always clean the litterbox 2x a day - and spend time with them playing or cuddling. Dogs get loads of cuddles, scritches, and backmassages too. If you have cats that are part time outdoor cats and also indoor cats -- I will only let the cats out, while I am at the house 100% of the time and supervising them, as I want to ensure that your pets are safe.

“I found a great family to watch my dogs over the weekend! Melissa, Angel and their 2 boys made my pups feel right at home! They sent photos and a video each day of the dogs sleeping, playing, watching TV on the couch with family. Mellisa and Angel are my new go to people with Rover.”

“If you would like a SUPER dog sitter for your fur baby, Shantel is your answer! She was a wonderful communicator during pre-care set up and all thru our fur baby's stay. (Although she did spoil him just a bit)! There is no question in our family that she will be the only person we request in the future if we are traveling in her area. We hope to see her in Sept and next summer again! THANKS to you Shontel and Jose for being Super awesome to our dog Zero. He misses you both!”

“Rochelle is amazing! She sent me pics of my dog, allowed me to bring my pup earlier than scheduled. Even helped her with feeding properly. My puppy absolutely loved her stay and passed out for hours after I picked her up. Thank you Rochelle!”

“Abner was great! We just moved to the state and had no clue where to start with a dog sitter, but we felt comfortable leaving our pup with Abner very quickly. Very kind, and he clearly loves dogs. Our girl is pretty nervous but he took the time to make sure she was comfortable and she ended up having a great time.”

“Scott continues to do an amazing job as a dog sitter for our dog Odysseus. Our dog has surgery and he is more anxious now. I was nervous about him staying someplace overnight again but we trust Scott and again he did not disappoint. He is so caring about animals in general. Shows so much compassion and love. Honestly, if you need a sitter or care in the area for your pets Scott is it! Thank you so much Scott!”

“Once again, Nala had a great time at Jack and Joanne's. And we were able to go away for a few days knowing she was being lovingly cared for! Thank you so much Jack and Joanne!”

“Parcha stayed overnight at Dawn’s for two days. Dawn sent me progress reports with plenty of pictures. I could tell that Parcha was enjoying her stay. Dawn and her family played and interacted with Parcha. Her two boys played with her, gave her hugs and kisses. There were two other dogs that Parcha was able to socialize with as well. She also was able to run and exercise in the yard. Parcha came home and fell fast asleep. She was on doggie vacation with Dawn. Two fun filled days. I am very pleased with the service Dawn provided. She is a real dog lover. I highly recommend her.”
“Alexandra was super great to leave Blue with! I was reassured throughout my trip that Blue was in safe hands and it looked like she had the best time. This was a very last minute booking too so I am very grateful that Alexandra was able to take Blue in for the week!”

“For the first time in a long time, my family and I took a vacation out of the country. I was especially worried about our dogs as we've taken them with us whenever we've gone on a trip and they wouldn't be able to go with us this time. I found Marleny and Luis as a first time Rover user and was relieved that they were able to care for our two dogs while away. We had a meet and greet, and a few day visits leading up to the trip and all went well. The dogs were with them for 8 days and my heart was at peace knowing they were being cared for in their home. I sent rationed food, treats, beds and instructions for eye drops and daily supplements. Marleny did not hesitate and accommodated all my requests. I'm very happy to have found a caring home and caretakers. We will be planning more vacations knowing we have a reliable and caring option for Ella and Diesel.”

“Cristel is amazing. She was responsive, wanted to do a video call to understand Teddy’s needs, and sent several updates for his one night stay with her in preparation for a much longer stay later this month. We are very happy to have found her because we can tell she really enjoys caring for others’ pets.”

“David was amazing! If you’re a nervous cat mommy like me, don’t worry at all. My baby was so well taken care of, and David sent a ton of updates and pictures while I was away which all pet parents love lol. 10/10, and @David I will be seeing you soon!”

“Seb was great with Prince. He kept me updated and took plenty of pictures. He was very patient with Prince too since he still has accidents every now and again. I would absolutely book with Seb again!”

“Laura always takes the best care of our coco. We are so happy to have her as our go to dog sitter, especially when we are traveling out of town for multiple days at a time! Thanks again for your flexibility Laura!”
