“Chuck is a superstar. We had a challenging stressful trip, but thinking about our pet Percy is one thing we’ve never had to worry about. He’s so kind and funny and he gave a ton of comfort. He took care of our pup like his own and we couldn’t ask for a better person. You rock Chuck.”

“Michael did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs for 11 days. They came back happy and healthy and tired too. We so appreciate them. Our dogs are pretty energetic at 1 and 3 years old.”
“I cannot recommend Malu highly enough! She took incredible care of my dog, Brady, welcoming him into her home as if he were part of the family. Her son and husband played with him, and it was clear he was receiving plenty of love and attention. Malu provided regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was an unbelievable experience, especially after a previous bad encounter elsewhere. When Brady came home, I could just tell he was happy and well cared for. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter, I highly recommend Malu. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Lisa was thoughtful and communicative. My dog sufferers from anxiety and she made her feel comfortable and warm up in her own time. She also was great at giving my dog her daily meds. We will definitely be using Lisa again!”

They looked like they were having the time of their life in every photo 🥹 My two dogs aren’t the easiest to handle and they handled them flawlessly! I will 100% be booking them again and feel very comfortable with my dogs in their hands!”
“Popcorn had another great stay with Lucia. He ate just as usual, which means he was happy away from home. Her home will always be our first choice when needing to leave him behind!”
“Olivia took great care of my dog while I was out of town! She was very communicative and sent me plenty of photos to keep me updated about my pup. I would definitely recommend her for your dog boarding needs.”
“Tiffany and her family were awesome with Zero! Their home and backyard are great spaces for dogs and he really enjoyed himself. He’s typically really anxious but he looked comfortable within one day which was so comforting. They even sang him happy birthday which was so cute. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you!”
“Paula & Chad took wonderful care of my dog! He has an underlying health condition that requires extra attention, and they handled everything with such care and professionalism. I felt completely confident that they were able to manage his medications and stay attentive to his needs while he was with them. He came home happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired—which is always a great sign that he got plenty of playtime, attention, and TLC. I’m so grateful for the thoughtful care they gave him and would absolutely trust them to watch him again!”

About: I got two lovely little kittens when I was just 8 years old and gained full responsibility of one of them at 10. This included cleaning her litter box regularly, feeding and watering her, and making sure she got lots of love! The picture shown is with my current baby Chief who I adore (so much that I included him in my senior photos!), I love teaching him tricks and taking so many pictures of him he's the cutest! My baby has had tummy issues in the past which I pushed to get him to the vet, my little skinny baby was eating everything in his sight then throwing it up! I was determined to get him healthy and so I did just that. I will let you know if I find anything appearing wrong with your cat when I take care of them! It is my duty to keep all the babies of the world happy and healthy 🥰
About: Experienced and loving pet caregiver with a passion for making animals feel safe, happy, and at home. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like family. I am currently in grad school and would love to spend time with your pets on my study breaks! I enjoy walks and spending time outside so having a furry friend would be the best! I provide attentive, personalized care by following each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. Whether in my home or a client’s, I create a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel loved and at ease.
“Rebecca took amazing care of our two cats while we were away for 10 days. I was a little nervous leaving them for the first time, but I was thrilled with the care Rebecca gave to our cats. She provided daily updates, photos, and played with them. She went above and beyond by staying longer, giving them new toys and making them feel like they were on their own kitty vacation.”
“We had Bella’s help for the first time and she was great with our 3 cats! Very trustworthy and dependable. She came perfectly on time and was very respectful of our home. We will use her help again :)”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a little girl and have passed the love I have for them down to my dog loving kiddos too! I currently don’t have any pets, so my time at home with my daughter is pretty free. We volunteer at APA, but would love a dog at home too! We make sure to have fun with them and give them lots of love. We also always make sure that they are on the best behavior and don’t miss out on being polite around furniture and such. Movement is a big factor that we love to encourage dogs to do even if it is a little walk!
“Lucia was amazing! We’ve never used Rover for our cats but so glad we did. Lucia was responsive, loving and caring the whole way through. She sent pictures on each visit. We have one cat that’s pretty shy with new people but she warmed up to Lucia pretty quick which says a lot.”
About: I’ve grown up around cats and currently live with four of my own, so caring for them has always been a big part of my everyday life! Over the years, I’ve been a caregiver for cats of all ages and backgrounds, and I’ve gained a lot of experience working with different personalities and needs. Some of the cats I’ve cared for have had medical conditions, disabilities, anxiety, or behavioral challenges, and I’m very comfortable adjusting my approach depending on the cat. I have experience giving both oral and injectable medications, basic behavioral training, and I’m familiar with routines that include ongoing health monitoring, and more involved care when needed. On a daily basis, I handle everything from feeding schedules and litter box care to helping cats feel comfortable, safe, and understood in their environment. I’m used to cats who are independent, shy, reactive, or very affectionate, and I take the time to let each one adjust at their own pace. My goal is always to meet cats where they are, whether that means giving them space, building trust slowly, or just making sure their routine stays consistent while you’re away. I also provide updates so you can feel confident about how they’re doing while in my care. Most of all, I aim to provide a calm and positive experience for both you and your cat, and enjoy helping out in any way that I can! [P.S. If your cat enjoys walking, I can also take those bookings through my Dog Walking services]
“Skye was fabulous! She communicated very well and sent pictures of our old boy everyday! Skye was very flexible and accommodating. She checked in on Garth over Christmas week and even allowed us to add an additional visit. We truly appreciate the great care she provided. Would highly recommend her care.”

“I had an excellent experience with Alexandra. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. I received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home very happy. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Luna was very happy when I dropped her at Emma’s and when my husband picked her up. Emma sent pics during the day and let me know that Luna was having fun and getting along with the other dogs who were there. We will definitely use Emma again!”
About: I have been pet sitting since age 12. I have experience with farm animals, fish, gerbils, reptiles, cats, and dogs. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I have taken care of senior dogs that need certain medications as well. I would love to help with any pet needs. I am focusing on online school, so I’m home most of the time. I will request a schedule or a planner from the pet parents that I follow. The planner will go over what time to feed, walk, and any other special instructions. I have a fenced in yard. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat to keep your fur baby company. 2 Shih Tzus, and 1 border collie. They are extremely friendly and never been an issue for any other pet family.
“Lucia did an amazing job with our Yogi! She kept us updated on him and sent lots of photos while we were away. We’re so blessed to have found her and will definitely be using her again next time we are out of town!”
“I am 100% sure that there is not a better place for Maggie to be than with Claire. Maggie was waiting for me in the mornings to be ready to leave the house and go to day care with Claire and her dogs. Claire sent me pictures and video showing me what a good time Maggie was having. She even took Maggie for long walks. Claire has a very nice property that is perfect for dogs. I can't be happier that Claire can take care of Maggie.”
“If you're scrolling & not sure who to choose...look no further. Leilani is the only pet sitter you need. An exceptional sitter who goes above and beyond. Her love for animals was obvious from the moment I contacted her. She treated my pet with so much care, patience, and genuine affection. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. I received thoughtful updates, and my pet was calm, comfortable, and well‑cared‑for when I picked her up. A true professional with a big heart. Mario”

“Absolutely recommend Daniel, My pet absolutely loves spending time with him and gets so excited every time he sees him. He is also incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and care, which gives me total peace of mind whenever I’m away. He is professional and very reliable. He also keeps me posted by sharing photos and videos!”
About: Hi! I’m Jamie, nice to e-meet you!! I'm new to this site and am hoping to make some new furry friends! I’ve completed the Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid online course. I grew up with all sorts of pets and love all animals. Even spiders, unless they touch me. 😂 My claim to cat fame is that I taught my cat to use the toilet! Best thing I ever did! I think the reason animals are so comfortable with me is because I speak to them in this funny, high voice and it’s both intriguing and soothing to them. It started as something funny I just did and now I can’t even remember what I sounded like before. Fun fact, you will never, ever, ever hear me sing, unless it’s to an animal. For some reason I can come up with a new song for every animal or situation and I can turn every existing song into a song about an animal. Animals are the best. I work from home and need frequent breaks. I love nature and animals, so this app seems like a wonderful way to make new furry or non-furry friends. 🥰 I have a ton of experience getting to know animals to make new friends, soothing them by singing to them and speaking to them in a high, funny voice. My three year old tabby cat is great at getting even the grumpiest animals to fall in love with her. 🐾
“We are very happy with the Christopher's care for our girl Halo. Halo is a shy, timid and scared kind of girl, it takes her awhile to warm up. Christopher is patient and cares very much for the pets in his care. His flexibility to work with us helped tremendously to ensure we were able to attend a family trip. We truly appreciate his excellent communication, always quick to respond to our text message, sending pictures of our dog through the day, and proactively reaching out with updates. We highly recommend Christopher if you are seeking a great provider for your pet.”
“Emma was amazing with my dog and her dog, Beau, is the sweetest boy ever! As a first time Rover user, my anxiety quickly melted away after meeting Emma and introducing our dogs. I knew I was leaving my boy in the best possible hands and would not hesitate to recommend Emma!!”

About: Husband & wife Duo | Full-Time | Flexible *****££ Our Story Hi my name is Mimi and my husband’s name is Stewart. We’re a husband and wife Duo with years of experience in pet care and outdoor adventures. We know that we build such strong bonds with our fur friends 🐶 and fur babies that's why it is difficult leaving them home for a day when we need to go to work. Trust me we both get it! and we know you feel the same because you are here and you want someone who can care for your animals as if it is their own, and that’s why we’re here too. We want to help. We specialize in working with energetic work dogs and take dogs on adventure hikes to get their energy out. Also, the two of us means more flexible care, more fun outdoor adventures and more love for your fur companion. In Colorado, we were small-town pet sitters and took dogs on adventures in the mountains, then soon fostered some dogs and later raised our Siberian puppy, which helped us gain so much insight into animal behavior. Care Style As a lifelong animal lover and outdoor enthusiast, we created this service to give dogs more than just a walk — we give them adventures. We will take your pup out for an adventure hike to engage their natural work instincts and provide them with mental stimulation they crave and will reduce destructive behaviors. They will also get socialization which helps them to live longer fruitful lives as they are also social pack creatures. This is so important because our companions have needs too! From scenic trails to playful park days, our mission is to keep your pup active, happy, and thriving in nature. We believe every dog deserves exercise, enrichment, and love while their humans are away. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities, combined with positive reinforcement and recreation therapy training, we incorporate safety, patience, and plenty of fun into every outing. Whether it’s a hike, a run, or a gentle stroll, we tailor each adventure to your dog’s energy level and needs so that they may live healthy lives like us. We’re very patient and have a knack for understanding all walks of life which we consider to be our greatest strength! We would be honored to care for your pups. Details We typically need 1 days notice to prepare for your dogs care. Meet and greets are encouraged especially if you are aware of some specific care requirements so please schedule a meet and greet with us. Reach out if you have any questions, we can't wait to connect. Check out our instagram page to see some of our fun adventures. Instagram: Adventuretimeac_ Website Google: Adventure Time Animal Care We are full time animal care takers and since there is 2 of us we can be more flexible in our schedules to accommodate your pups needs. We like to build trust through play, learn every dog breed behaviors, motivators, and create fun activities by applying positive reinforcement training to establish a communication and understanding in an outdoor environment. Positive reinforcement training is an established evidence based training that includes a clicker and rewards such as treats to reinforce behaviors. We’re also familiar with certain toy precautions, food and environmental allergy precautions so we try to implement mindfulness practices on this with our treat selections. Throughout the day we will provide picture updates and texts to let you know how they are adjusting or day is going. If we go on group walks or hikes please let us know beforehand about the status of your dogs vaccinations for this is extremely important and we hope that the severity of this necessity is known for your dogs health and others. Vaccinations protect dogs from severe conditions that could be transmitted from the environment and interactions with other dogs.

About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and the occasional chicken :) I worked as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic in high school and as a veterinary technician during my undergraduate degree so I have TONS of experience with dogs and cats, both at home and in medical environments. As a veterinary student, I absolutely love animals and want to provide the best care possible! As a vet student, I am mostly available on weekends but the occasional weekday. I am able to pet-sit, go on walks, and host animals at my house (mostly on weekends) I have an outdoor patio area for leash walks and potty breaks. As a veterinary student, I have experience working with all types of animals. I am observant and attentive to their various needs so they stay safe and comfortable!

“Carrie was absolutely wonderful! My dog is shy and she did well with making her feel comfortable. Carrie would send multiple pictures and gave her lots of love! She also realized we would be getting home late and she left a light on for my dog as well as us! How thoughtful!”
About: New to Rover but caring for pets and homes locally as if they were my own has been part of my life for years. I know how important it is to trust the person you’re leaving your pets with and I take that to heart. I’m patient, reliable, and pay close attention to the little things that keep pets happy and homes feeling cared for. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including playful puppies and gentle senior pets who may need extra time, medications, or a softer touch. I’m comfortable handling different routines, personalities, and special needs. Beyond pet care, I’m respectful of your home and keep everything tidy so you return to a space that feels just the way you left it—or a little better! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life because I work remotely from home. That means I’m around throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, whether they need extra attention, medication, or just a reassuring presence. Having animals around just makes my days better, so it never feels like a job to me. When I’m staying in a client’s home, I keep pets on their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. That means regular meals, walks, playtime, and as many snuggles as they can stand:)
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I currently have two dogs of my own, and they’ve taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and the different personalities pets can have. What sets me apart is the level of attention and love I give—I truly treat every pet like my own. I’m known for being reliable, caring, and flexible, and many neighbors and friends trust me with their pets because they know I go above and beyond. Whether it’s following a detailed routine, giving extra cuddles, or helping pets feel comfortable in a new environment, I always make sure they feel safe and happy. I am a college student at Arizona State University and I am home for a few weeks. I don’t currently have a job, so I am very flexible and willing to help out wherever is needed. I treat every pet like part of my family! In my home or yours, I keep their routine the same—meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and snuggles. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and I’m always happy to send lots of updates and photos so you know they’re doing great.
About: I worked in dog care and training in a professional capacity for several years and I now use those skills to help others’ dogs stay happy and healthy. I focus on basic obedience and energy management and I adore all pups, big and small. I love to create a structured but warm environment for the the dogs that I have the pleasure of working with. As a pet sitter, I incorporate visiting pups into the active lifestyle that my dog and I already enjoy - expect plenty of walks, hikes and park visits! My goal as a caretaker is to provide a loving, comfortable and engaging environment for all dogs. I currently work full time from home and I am accepting pups for day care drop off, with the possibility to facilitate boarding once your pup is comfortable! I have a large yard with a 5ft fence and a large deck. We keep multiple water bowls filled indoors and outdoors and allow pups to spend time outside if the temperature is comfortable for them. Please let me know if your pup is adept at escaping yards.
About: I currently work professionally as a receptionist and lead kennel technician at a busy boarding and grooming facility. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, temperaments, and individual needs. My daily work includes feeding, walking, safely handling dogs, cleaning and sanitizing kennels, monitoring behavior and overall well-being, and communicating with pet parents. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, anxious or shy dogs, high-energy dogs, and pets who need a little extra patience. I also have experience administering oral and topical medications, as well as certain owner-provided injections when clear written instructions are provided. I understand how important accuracy and consistency are when caring for pets with medication schedules or special routines. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive, dependable, and happy to provide detailed updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is being well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a major part of my everyday life through my professional work in a kennel environment. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care around my regular work schedule, and I keep my Rover calendar updated so clients can see my current availability. When I accept a booking, I make sure I have enough time to follow the pet’s normal routine without rushing. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication times, and any comfort routines your pet is accustomed to. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and do my best to maintain the pet’s normal schedule and environment. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication administration, basic cleanup, and plenty of attention. I monitor pets for changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, mobility, or general comfort and will communicate promptly if I notice anything concerning. I also provide photo updates and a clear summary of each visit.
About: I have owned and taken care of cats and dogs my whole life so I am very comfortable meeting different animals’ complex needs. I am also a teacher on summer break, so my current schedule is incredibly open and flexible. My weekly availability is Monday-Sunday whenever I am needed! I have my own pets at home so aside from taking care of their needs, my schedule is very open! I have done a great amount of house sitting along with watching pets so I am happy to meet any requirements for taking care of your space when I am occupying it!
About: I've taken care of pets since I was very young. I would house sit for my neighbors until I was old enough to volunteer. I volunteered at an animal shelter where I would bathe, train, and walk dogs. As well as play with the cats as well! I have a dog who I take on two walks a day and play with other pups when we can! I live in an apartment, but I can house a crate as well or block them off if needed. I also have a crate for my dog as well. As of now I am a chiropractor with flexible work hours. I have a dog myself and I always make sure to take him on long walks and get him out and about! I can easily crate your dog as needed! I do not have a yard but I do constantly take them out on leash! I also have a turf area in my apartment and a dog park near by!
“Kristin has been absolutely amazing with my dog Zoey! She has been so patient and gentle with my stubborn girl, and even went above and beyond once her walk was over. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my girl! Will def recommend and will be using again!”
About: Hi, I’m Ty! I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a day without them. From 15 to 18, I ran my own dog walking business before heading off to college — where I started fostering pups and helping them find their forever families. Whether it’s energetic playtime, relaxing walks, or just a reassuring presence while you’re away, I’m all about giving every dog the care and attention they deserve. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, consistency, and plenty of love. Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first! I am very flexible with my hours and can work with whatever people need me. Weekends are what usually work best but I also can meet serval times during the week to fit whatever needs are required. I treate every home as if it were my own. I leave it exactly how I found it and I never rush a situation until I know exactly how to handle it. I ensure that all safety measures are in place before entering and leaving a home as well as taking care of them outside of the home on walks.
About: I've grown up with two Vizsla dogs, one was puppy, so I've developed to connect with dogs through difficult times. And often, my family and I would find lost and stray dogs which we managed them just fine so far. I have experiences that help my skills. I am no trainer or carer, however I am a dog lover who have been around dogs almost in my entire life. I am available anytime really as I am a college student who lives with my family and currently looking for a side job within flexible time slots. I like to play rough with dogs if they are in mood, and I like to be outside to give them a better company instead of inside watching over them with boring devices to scroll through or watch. I am very active when I am not in the house which I can be good at taking care inside, and I am clean person. I will clean up as if anything happens such as splashing or peeing. I am more likely to walk dogs which is my specialty.
About: I have taken care of and have my own dogs; cats; horses and livestock for 9 years. I have fostered kittens and puppies. I have walked numerous dogs of various different sizes and ages. I volunteer with a Wildlife Rehabilitation center when time allows. I am a student. I can pet sit over the weekends and holidays. I can dog walk during the week and have my own transportation. I am familiar with crate personal timeouts; walking a big dog and giving indoor as well as outdoor cats attention. I have a fenced yard for my dogs.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 14 years old. I love animals, and I am super dependable and reliable! I’ve watched dogs and cats of all ages, and I would love to help you out with all your pet-sitting needs! I work fully remote for a marketing agency, so I have a flexible schedule and have the ability to spend lots of time with your four legged friends. I love taking dogs on walks and car rides for pup cups, but also have lots of experience with home bodied dogs who just need snuggles and love. Because I have been pet sitting for years, I am really great with animals. I understand the importance of communication, so I will make sure to take care of your pet(s) exactly how you’d like!

“Chuck is a superstar. We had a challenging stressful trip, but thinking about our pet Percy is one thing we’ve never had to worry about. He’s so kind and funny and he gave a ton of comfort. He took care of our pup like his own and we couldn’t ask for a better person. You rock Chuck.”
“Angie took great care of our Goldendoodle. She was great at communicating and sending us pictures. Our dog felt right at home. Happy to have found someone who can take such good care of our dog!”
“I cannot recommend Malu highly enough! She took incredible care of my dog, Brady, welcoming him into her home as if he were part of the family. Her son and husband played with him, and it was clear he was receiving plenty of love and attention. Malu provided regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was an unbelievable experience, especially after a previous bad encounter elsewhere. When Brady came home, I could just tell he was happy and well cared for. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter, I highly recommend Malu. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Jax loves spending time with Maura & Shawn! We always feel so at ease leaving him in their care and love all of the thoughtful updates and photos they send us during our time away. Thank you again!!”
“Tiffany and her family were awesome with Zero! Their home and backyard are great spaces for dogs and he really enjoyed himself. He’s typically really anxious but he looked comfortable within one day which was so comforting. They even sang him happy birthday which was so cute. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you!”

“Lacey is the absolute best. She took care of my pups for 5 days. She sent me photos everyday, took them on walks and her dogs are so playful and sweet. I wish I could give more stars than 5.”
“Larissa and James were fantastic pet sitters on the Rover platform! They took excellent care of my pet and provided regular updates with adorable pictures. I highly recommend Larissa and James to anyone seeking loving and responsible pet sitters. I will undoubtedly trust them with my pet's care again in the future. Thanks to them, I had peace of mind during my time away, knowing my furry friend was in the best hands possible. Thank you both for being fantastic pet sitters!”
“Our dog, Shiner, had the best Christmas Ever with Judy and his new friends. I wasn’t quite sure he was going to want to come home. A big thank you for taking such good care of him. There is nothing better than being able to leave town and know that your dog is in the best care.”

“As always… we loved having Zhian watch Bo and all the pictures and communication, made our time away from him so smooth because we can tell Bo was always so happy and enjoying and feels right at home. Thank you so much for all the love and care. Bo misses you already and is looking forward to next time!”
“We had our corgi Ben stay with Emma for a long weekend, and he came home happy and tired after a few days of fun and running around. This was our first time having Ben stay with Emma, and she was so communicative and shared tons of fun updates on all the activities of the weekend. We absolutely will be bringing Ben back whenever the need for a sitter arises!”
