“Michelle and her family are amazing. They took wonderful care of our 7 month old Great Dane puppy. Michelle is super knowledgeable about all things dog. Her and her husband are friendly, helpful people who truly care about the animals. I received multiple photos of my puppy throughout my weekend away along with some highlights on how she was doing. We will definitely be bringing our puppy back to Michelle.”
“We are so lucky to have found Jessica to watch our dog while on a trip this summer. The pictures and updates were appreciated and it was clear our dog was also enjoying a vacation of her own!”
“Heaven was a great sitter for our pup Zara! Our original Rover sitter had a last minute cancelation and Heaven stepped in with a days notice. Would highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend Lorraine! We rescued our dog Westley from a kill shelter so he is very timid and skittish around new people. We also have never left him with anyone before. Lorraine was very patient with him and extremely compassionate and caring. She is prompt with message responses and updates. I couldn't have chosen a better sitter for Westley and plan on using Lorraine in the future!”
“Megan was wonderful! She was super accommodating and provided exceptional care for my dog who needed a little time to settle in. I received daily updates, sometimes more, and regular pictures.”
“Laura was very friendly, great with our dog Paris she kept us up to date with how she was doing, she sent pictures and text updates. Will definitely use her service in the future.”
“Wonderful people with hearts of gold! They cared for our dog like he was their own—he had an incredible time filled with long walks, playful moments, and lots of love. We couldn’t have asked for better care.”
“Johanny was so nice & welcomed me into her beautiful home. Was definitely a pleasure to meet her and to take good care of my little Coco. She sent me pictures & updates on how Coco was doing. I recommend her to anyone looking for a good dog sitter. I will be using her again when I need to.”
“Amazing puppy sitters for my babies. I got multiple pictures every day. Plenty of walks. And my pups were so happy and content when I picked them up. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”
“David is very awesome, had a great time with my dog and my dog had a great time with him, plus he is an amazing photographer. The pictures he took and sent to me from his stay are truly beautiful. Thank you for the wonderful memories.”
“I have never met a dog sitter as kind, loving, wise, and experienced in providing the very best care for dogs as Yoko. She treats people with the same warmth and kindness as well. Her husband is also a truly wonderful person. They took care of our elderly dog, and when his condition suddenly worsened, they gave him the most attentive and compassionate care without ever sparing their time or effort. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful that we entrusted our beloved dog to Yoko. Yoko and your husband, thank you so very much.”
“Maria was very kind to my senior dog. Very accommodating! Quick response, and updated me on how my pup was doing. It was so nice to know that Jasmine was taken care of while I was away. Thank you!!”
“We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Sharon and her family. When we first met with Sharon all of out worries immediately disappeared. She is very kind and responsible. Our Cindy felt at home right away. We never had a reason to worry throughout our vacation as Sharon was always in touch. We received daily photographs and reports on how our pet was feeling. All our recommendations were followed. We were very happy with Sharon. Cindy even came home with gifts 😊 Thank you for taking care of our pet while we were away!!! We will definitely contact you again!”
“Our Cavapoo Rosa had the best time at Tracy's. She loved playing with Tracy's children and the whole family was just so nice. I don't think Rosa really wanted to come home! Tracy sent me updates and photos at regular intervals so I had no worries.”

About: While I adore all animals, cats have a special place in my heart (I have a senior one of my own who, of course, runs the house). Since I was a baby, we have always had them.

I’m experienced with day-to-day cat care including feeding routines, litter box maintenance, and administering medications when needed :)

“Jule was a God-send for me while I was on vacation! She made sure their food and water was filled, scooped the litter boxes, swept up around the litter boxes, and stayed and played with the kitties for awhile. She took lots of pictures to send to me while I was away. My white cat, Tigger, hides whenever anyone comes over (he only stays out for me) and she had pictures of him laying on the couch!!! He was relaxed and didn’t feel scared. It’s so nice knowing I have someone I can depend on because in the past I have struggled to find someone that I could 100% depend on. Thanks Jule. The kitties thank you too!”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated cat lover with hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I understand that every cat is different—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm environment and space to warm up on their own terms. I’m comfortable caring for kittens, adult cats, and senior cats, including feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, brushing, and administering basic medications when needed. I pay close attention to each cat’s routine and personality to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or independent, I provide patient, dependable care and treat every cat like my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your cat is in loving, reliable hands.
“We couldn't be happier with the way Eren and Luca cared for our two young cats while we were away! They gave them so much love and attention, and were very patient with our skittish kitty, monitoring him carefully to make sure he was getting enough food when he was too anxious to eat at regular mealtimes. They were great about checking in and sent us lots of video and photo updates, making it easy for us to relax during our trip in the confidence that our cats were being well taken care of. They followed our instructions carefully and left our house just as they found it. We highly recommend them!”
“Amber did a wonderful job checking in on my cat Sophie, allowing my mind to be at ease while on vacation. Sophie was well taken care of and I appreciated the updates/pictures too. Will definitely book again for future trips/vacations and recommend to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”

“Sophie and Finn seemed to do well and were calm and not stressed. And that’s really amazing for Sophie with a new person. Enjoyed meeting Jahada & her fiancé both are nice, friendly people. We definitely want to leave the dogs with them the next time we’re in the area.”
“Michelle and her husband were very nice. This was our first time leaving Ace with a dog sitter and we were very nervous of how he’d react. They spent extra time with us to make sure we were comfortable with their home before leaving Ace there. Michelle also kept me updated and sent pics of Ace throughout the day. Ace came back happy and seemed as though he enjoyed his stay.”
“I was very nervous leaving my new puppy for an entire day, but had no other choice. I found Lorraine on Rover.com. She was so very sweet to Bella, and I felt confident that Bella would have a great time spending the day with her and her husband. I know she treated Bella as if she was her own and loved her the way I do. I will definitely use Lorraine again and have no reservations in recommending her to others.”
“Melissa and Angel are great! They took great care of my dog Whiskey, providing walks, playtime, and plenty of pictures throughout. I will definitely use them again when I’m in the area. Highly recommend!!”
“Best dog sitting experience we have had! Our dog has separation anxiety, but you would never have known it! He took to Jeanne and her crew like he knew then forever. When I picked him up at the end of the day he was as happy as can be and did not stop wagging his tail. Jeanne made me feel at ease from the moment I met her. Thank you so much and we will certainly use Jeanne and her gang again!”
“Equasia was fantastic and kind to me and my pup, and kept me updated all day. He came home very happy. They even brushed him and took him on multiple walks. Sent sooo many photos. I'm very happy and so is he! Would absolutely book again.”

We encourage meet and greets as well to allow you and your dog to become familiar with us beforehand and to answer all questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you soon.
About: I have been a dedicated dog dad for over 4 years. While I have experience managing a multiple dog household, I currently only have my resident German Shepherd at home during sittings. He is a "big baby" super friendly, well-socialized, and great at making guest dogs feel welcome. I live to make these 4 legged animals smile, you can be sure your pup will have a good time when I’m around! As a dedicated dog owner for over four years, I offer a safe and structured 'home away from home' for your pup. My household is perfectly set up for socialization, featuring my friendly, 'big baby' German Shepherd who loves making new friends. To ensure a calm and focused environment, my other resident dogs stay off site during bookings, allowing me to prioritize your pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s managing high-energy play, providing gentle senior care, or maintaining strict feeding and medication schedules, I provide your dog with a reliable routine filled with backyard fun, mental enrichment, and plenty of cuddles. You can travel with peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for by an experienced handler who treats every guest like family! When a doggo stays with me, they aren't just a "guest" they become apart of the family. My goal is to keep their home routine so they don't feel the stress of your absence.
“We had a great experience with Rochelle! She was so nice and sent many videos of our girl throughout the day! Our mind was at ease know she was comfortable with her daycare!”
“Mike was fantastic. He watched our boy while we took a rafting trip nearby. He made me immediately feel at ease knowing he’d take great care of our pup. He’s also in a great neighborhood that I’m sure dogs love to walk. Highly recommend.”
“Christian is great! We have a new puppy who is very young and Christian took on the challenge with ease! Our puppy had such a fun day and was definitely tuckered our from a day of play when we got home. He sent us pictures and videos throughout the day to keep us updated on how our boy was doing. We are very happy and can’t wait to take our puppy back to doggy daycare again!”
“Brooke and Jeremy were amazing for doggy daycare. They were incredibly accommodating with my early work hours, which made everything so much easier for me. My pup tends to be pretty anxious, but they handled him with so much care and patience-it really gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciate the attention and effort they put into making him comfortable. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care.”

“Our two dogs seemed to be at ease with Megan during a four hour "day care" at her residence. They came home happy, tired and healthy. I think that's a good sign. I met her two dogs and found them to be gentle and well-behaved. Although our dogs were with her for only a four hour stay that day, she still somehow managed to get nice, little walk in for them! At this point, I feel comfortable with Megan and her ability to care for our doggies and would use her service again. She's very professional, cordial and accommodating. She provided quick responses every time I had questions. Thanks!”
“This was our dog’s first time staying at daycare with a sitter and she seemed to happy! Brandi sent me pictures of her playing throughout the day, and I felt good knowing she was taken care of in a loving house with other good doggies. We will definitely use Brandi again!”

This background has made me deeply attentive to animal behavior, safety, routines, comfort, and compassionate care. I’m attentive, patient, dependable, and very tuned into each animal’s individual personality and needs. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or shy and sensitive, I take time to help them feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, bathing, senior pets, medications, multi-animal households, and providing calm, attentive day-to-day care.

About: I (Eren) have been a veterinary technician since 2023, working in a variety of settings including a clinic, shelter, and university research hospital caring for special-needs dogs. Through this experience, I’m comfortable with medical care, senior pets, administering medications, recognizing early signs of illness, and handling animals with unique behavioral needs. I’ve also had animals my entire life, from cats and dogs to exotics, so I understand how different every species (and every personality!) can be. I’m patient, gentle, and confident with shy or anxious animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My partner Luca is also part of our Rover profile and shares this same passion for animal care. We have multiple pets together and work as a team to provide attentive, reliable care. Luca previously worked at the same clinic I’m at as a receptionist and veterinary assistant, and now works in a science lab where he also helps care for lab animals. His experience makes him calm, capable, and very comfortable handling a wide range of animals. What sets us apart is that we combine professional veterinary experience with genuine, everyday love for animals. Between the two of us, your pets will always have attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care. We currently have cats, ferrets, mice and 1 bearded dragon of our own, and we hold ourselves to the same high standard of care that we would want for them. Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine because animals have always been a huge part of our lives. I work full-time, but I schedule my Rover services around my work hours so that every visit gets my full attention. I’m typically available before or after work for drop-ins, walks, and evening check-ins, and I always communicate clearly about my availability. My partner Luca helps provide additional flexibility. He is a full-time student and works part-time in a lab, with a schedule that tends to stay consistent for longer periods. Because our schedules often complement each other, one of us is usually available when the other is not. This allows us to offer more consistent and reliable care throughout the day. Even with busy schedules, caring for animals is something we both genuinely enjoy and make time for, and we never take on more than we can fully commit to. We primarily care for pets in our clients’ homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. As a veterinary technician, safety is always my first priority. We follow your pet’s normal routines closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and playtime, while also keeping an eye out for any early signs of stress or illness. We’re respectful of your home, trustworthy with your space, and committed to creating a calm, clean environment for your pets while you’re away. We provide regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve always had animals with me in my life. From birds to reptiles, cats and dogs all different kinds of pets I welcome! On my free time I sometimes watch veterinarian videos on how to care for different types of pets. My dream job is to work full time with animals/pets. Wanting to try out this app and see what experiences I am able to achieve. I currently work Sunday through Wednesday nights and am fully free from Thursday to Saturday. I do sometimes have my work nights off which would make me available. I currently live with a cat and a dog that are not mine. I enjoy taking them out on long walks (when given approval) and playing with each of them respectively. I also live with two ducks that are out in the yard. I understand the relationship between respect with human and animal but also know when to take swift action to care for your loved one.

“Michelle and her family are amazing. They took wonderful care of our 7 month old Great Dane puppy. Michelle is super knowledgeable about all things dog. Her and her husband are friendly, helpful people who truly care about the animals. I received multiple photos of my puppy throughout my weekend away along with some highlights on how she was doing. We will definitely be bringing our puppy back to Michelle.”

Lorraine was very patient with him and extremely compassionate and caring. She is prompt with message responses and updates.

“I have never met a dog sitter as kind, loving, wise, and experienced in providing the very best care for dogs as Yoko. She treats people with the same warmth and kindness as well. Her husband is also a truly wonderful person. They took care of our elderly dog, and when his condition suddenly worsened, they gave him the most attentive and compassionate care without ever sparing their time or effort. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful that we entrusted our beloved dog to Yoko. Yoko and your husband, thank you so very much.”

“Stefi took great care of my dog, was accommodating of her raw diet, sent pictures, and gave regular updates. She was communicative and very flexible when my trip was unexpectedly extended and even worked with my later pickup time. The only thing I’d suggest is confirming any requirements (like rabies certificates) earlier in the process to avoid last-minute stress. Overall, very very thankful for her help and would book again.”
