“As always, Heather and her husband were remarkable. So easy to communicate with. I had a flight delay due to some winter weather in the Northeast. They worked with me to allow me to pick up my girl a few hours later. Much appreciated.”
“Michelle was perfect to watch my puppy all week! She was so kind and sweet to my dog. She would even send photos of her everyday while we were gone and is very communicative. 10/10!”

The treated my baby boy so well and showed him so much love 💕 They provided me with lots of picture and video updates as well which gave me peace of mind. I’m so grateful to be able to trust them with my stinkabutt. 🐶”
“I was super nervous about finding a new sitter after our old sitter of 5 years moved away, but Ariel made the whole experience so easy. She was so sweet with my pups, communicated really well, and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay. Every photo had them smiling and looking so happy. She completely eased my nerves for our first stay, and I already booked their next trip with her. Honestly, I don’t think they even wanted to leave her house when I picked them up 😂 Highly recommend!”
“Angelo was very responsive and caring. Loved seeing the updates given from him, the dogs looked so happy in every photo received. Angelo also took his time in the beginning to ask questions about the dogs which I highly appreciated.”
“The absolute best dog sitters. I would never think twice about using Thi and Jace. Our boys absolutely love their time with them and I don’t worry about them at all. Thank you both so much. Y’all are the best!”
“Angela was a blessing! We were gone for 10 days and being new to the area we were so worried about leaving our pups. She took the very best care of our pups and they seemed very happy when we picked them up! We will definitely used Angela again and we highly recommend her. She is very loving and experienced and we could not be more pleased.”
“I had such a great experience with my Skylar! She took amazing care of my pup while I was away and made me feel totally at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant so much and helped me relax knowing he was happy and well looked after. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid attention to all the little details. I’d absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat — highly recommend!”
“Robin was amazing with my new puppy Teddy, He is only 9 weeks old, so I was really nervous leaving him. She made me feel so comfortable and took really good care of him while I was getting everything situated. I could tell he was getting a lot of love and attention, and it made me feel a lot better knowing he was in good hands. I’m really thankful for her and would definitely recommend as she treats each dog as her own. Me and Teddy will definitely see her again!”
“Elizabeth was Awesome!! My TAZ loved it and we was kept notified with pics and videos of how he was doing. Definitely recommend and will be using again when needed.”
“Caitlin’s home was a wonderful place for our dog, Hazel, to stay while we were away! She has an amazing backyard and the home feels very safe and loving for dogs. Caitlin was accommodating of our schedule for dropoff and pickups and sent periodic updates and pictures of our senior pup that put our minds at ease. We feel lucky to have found such a great dogsitter in the area!”
“Kolohe granted was happy to see her mama, but when I tell you on the way out of Becky and Joel's neighborhood she cried. I think we have found our new awesome pet sitters. Thank You guys she obviously enjoyed herself cause she's never cried leaving from anyone's house before. And since we now have a family I can trust with her bipolar self, she will be going back. Probably sooner than thought since we can now go on a honeymoon in Oct after our wedding.”
“It is so amazing to find people in our community that will love on and take care of our boys as if they were their own. Ashley and her family spoiled our boys and they were worn out when they got home. Thank you so much for being amazing sitters.”

I’m so happy we found her and will definitely be using her again. I highly recommend Susan! 🐾”

“Kathleen is amazing! She was warm and loving towards my babies. I felt so comfortable that she was taking great care of my boy while we were away. I loved how accessible she was and that she would send me pictures of my baby every day. This was my first experience using this app and I have been raving about it to all my friends with pets. I would highly recommend both Kathleen and Rover. To actually feel comfortable leaving my fur babies while on vacation is priceless.”
“After we booked Tanya for the first time, we were so impressed that we booked her for the Christmas week. We came home to an intact home and a very happy cat -- Max actually liked Tanya so much that he was doing the Tanya Meow all week and paced about looking for her. Great care and a trustworthy sitter.”
“Ashley was so quick to respond and helped me during a desperate time. She came to my house 3 days in a row to take care of my babies. I can’t recommend her enough! She kept me informed, sent great pictures of the babies and made sure they had treats and the tv on. I will certainly use her again”
“Andrea did a wonderful job watching my babies while I was out of state for work. I have two kitties and require love and affection once a day to check in on them and ensure food and water is full and fresh. She also was able to help move my cats to my room when a sudden leak occurred causing maintenance needing to replace my whole tub while i was gone! 😅 Andrea was easy to reach and more than willing to help out!! Will definitely become a repeat customer!”

“Rena was great. Tucker my kitty just loved her. She is reliable and attentive to him and followed the instructions I left. When I met Rena, we talked cats and she is definitely a cat lover, Tucker could tell. I highly recommend her to watch over your fur babies. I will definitely call her again when I have to go out of town.”
“Madeline was a great sitter. She watched my cat and rabbit for 3 days and was perfect! I told her all she needed to do was feed them but she went out of her way every single visit to sit on the floor with my babies and make them feel loved. The care she gave them was excellent I could not recommend her enough.”
“Stacy is amazing!! I always come home to happy cats. She's been very flexible, and always follows instructions exactly. She even helped raise a litter of kittens, all were adopted healthy and happy! Highly recommend her as a sitter, she'll always be our first choice :).”
About: I’ve had cats (feral barn and indoor) since I was a child so I have a lifetime of experience. I’ve also worked at a pet resort and handled all sorts of cats including diabetic and cranky ones that hate everyone but their owner so I’ve got a good amount of patience. I’ll take care of your pets like I’d want someone to take care of my two fur babies.
“Could not have asked for a better sitter for my cat, Chibby! Not only was Elizabeth’s home welcoming, clean, and tidy, but she was so incredibly sweet and warm. Chibby needs liquid medicine twice a day for a rare health condition and I felt more than confident that Elizabeth would make sure she got both doses. I got lots of pictures and video updates while I was away which just added to my reassurance that Chibby was healthy, happy, and loved while I was away. I got to meet her 3 cats and they were obviously adored and incredibly well cared for, very loving and social babies!!! Could not recommend Elizabeth more as a sitter and and so glad to have found a home I can trust for future trips!”
“Talisa was amazing with my cats. She took such great care of them and from the pictures she sent it seems like they absolutely adore her! Great communication and always on time. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was 8 years old and have cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds, from small to large dogs, and I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs. My experience has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to animals, whether that means keeping up with an energetic dog, giving extra care to a shy pet, or maintaining a consistent routine. I truly enjoy being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m a full-time online college student, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and consistent care. As a single mom to a 9-month-old, I spend most of my time at home, so I’m already in a routine that supports being present, reliable, and responsive to pets’ needs throughout the day. Pet sitting and drop-ins align well with my lifestyle, allowing me to balance school, parenting, and caring for animals without conflicting with a traditional work schedule. I’m able to incorporate feeding, playtime, litter care, and companionship into my day while maintaining a calm and structured environment. This also gives me the opportunity to do something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals—while earning income in a way that fits my current responsibilities. I take the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet very seriously. I follow each client’s instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, litter care, medication if needed, and any specific care guidelines. I approach each pet with patience and respect, allowing them to feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I also treat every client’s home with the utmost respect. I keep spaces clean and tidy, follow all house rules, and ensure doors, gates, and entry points are securely handled. I am mindful of security and privacy at all times, and I leave the home as I found it or better. My goal is to provide reliable, trustworthy care so pet parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: . I’ve been around, loved, cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I also had a toy poodle who was my baby for 12 years before she passed away last October. I know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone affordable who you can truly trust to be patient, gentle, and loving with your pet. I’m hoping to be that person for someone else. I genuinely miss having that companionship in my life, so your fur babies will get lots of love and attention while they’re with me. I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I would want someone to give my own. I’m a recent college graduate currently studying for law school, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day, every day. I will follow your directions to a T and be every vigilant when it comes to your animals just how I would like someone to care for mine.

Caring for pets in a client's home involves several key elements to ensure their well-being and happiness: 1. **Feeding and Watering**: Provide regular, scheduled meals tailored to each pet's dietary needs. Ensure fresh water is always available. 2. **Exercise and Play**: Engage pets in stimulating activities and play sessions to keep them mentally and physically active. This might include walks, playtime with toys, or interactive games. 3. **Grooming**: Brushing, bathing (if necessary), and grooming pets to maintain their coat health and cleanliness. This also includes nail trimming, ear cleaning, and dental care. 4. **Medication Administration (if needed)**: Administer any medications as prescribed by a veterinarian, ensuring accurate dosage and timing. 5. **Litter Box Maintenance (for cats)**: Regularly clean and maintain litter boxes to ensure a hygienic environment for cats. 6. **Monitoring Health**: Keep an eye out for any signs of illness or discomfort and promptly notify the owner if any concerns arise. 7. **Safety and Security**: Ensure that the home environment is pet-proofed and free from hazards. This includes securing gates, removing toxic plants or substances, and ensuring fences are intact for outdoor areas. 8. **Affection and Attention**: Provide plenty of love, attention, and affection to the pets to keep them feeling secure and happy while their owners are away. 9. **Communication with Owners**: Maintain open and transparent communication with pet owners, providing updates on their pets' well-being and any notable behaviors or events. 10. **Emergency Preparedness**: Be prepared to handle any emergencies or unexpected situations that may arise, including having access to emergency vet care if needed. Overall, the goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment where pets feel loved and cared for in the absence of their owners.
About: I take care of other people’s pets like I would want someone to take care of my two fur babies! I’ve worked with cats, dogs, lizards, and exotic birds. I was a keeper at a wildlife ranch and have also worked at a pet resort so I have experience with a little bit of everything, and there’s nothing that can surprise me! I’m currently unemployed but applying for jobs, I love animals and have a passion for working with them so I will make time for the clients that need help. I have experience crating/kenneling cats and dogs and have worked with a diverse range of breeds as well so I understand needs look differently for every animal.
“Sarah is fantastic and my dog absolutely loves her. She has walked her and also watched her when we are away - she always sends pictures and it's easy to tell that Sarah loves my dog and my dog is incredibly relaxed around her and at her house. Highly recommend Sarah!”
About: I’ve been on Rover for about a year now, but I’ve been caring for pets much longer through word-of-mouth and outside bookings. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels—from calm seniors to high-energy puppies. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, crate training, and giving pets the attention and love they need while their owners are away. I’m a college student taking classes online and living at home with my parents, so my schedule is very open and flexible considering I try to do this pretty full time! That means I can provide walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays with lots of availability—especially during the weekdays. Your pet won’t be waiting long for care or attention! The only places I really travel to during bookings are to other drop ins and the gym but I can ensure not to be gone longer than 4-5 hours! I treat every client’s home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I always follow any rules or instructions you leave, keep your pet’s routines consistent, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. I’m very mindful of safety—whether that’s locking up properly, keeping pups secure on walks, or making sure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t.
About: I've taken care of 4 big dogs at the same time for more than a week and stayed the night. I still take care of them to this day. I have also taken care of cats and cleaned the litter box included. My last experience I've had was puppy sitting and I had up to 6 English bulldogs plus the parents I took care of. Took them to vet appointments as well. At this point no pet is too much for me! I do have a part time job as a preschool teacher, I work a normal Mon-Fri. I am available all Monday-Sunday. I do have my own transportation so if I stay the night while sitting I have a way to work and back. I always make sure to ask different question to guarantee safety for both the owner and the pet. I personally only have 3 cats and I live in an apartment so they are indoor cats. That's how I keep my babies safe.

“As always, Heather and her husband were remarkable. So easy to communicate with. I had a flight delay due to some winter weather in the Northeast. They worked with me to allow me to pick up my girl a few hours later. Much appreciated.”
“Ashley and Chantelle were amazing!! They were such a life saver for me and I really appreciated that they could accommodate my last minute booking. The treated my baby boy so well and showed him so much love 💕 They provided me with lots of picture and video updates as well which gave me peace of mind. I’m so grateful to be able to trust them with my stinkabutt. 🐶”
“I was super nervous about finding a new sitter after our old sitter of 5 years moved away, but Ariel made the whole experience so easy. She was so sweet with my pups, communicated really well, and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay. Every photo had them smiling and looking so happy. She completely eased my nerves for our first stay, and I already booked their next trip with her. Honestly, I don’t think they even wanted to leave her house when I picked them up 😂 Highly recommend!”
“Angelo was very responsive and caring. Loved seeing the updates given from him, the dogs looked so happy in every photo received. Angelo also took his time in the beginning to ask questions about the dogs which I highly appreciated.”
“The absolute best dog sitters. I would never think twice about using Thi and Jace. Our boys absolutely love their time with them and I don’t worry about them at all. Thank you both so much. Y’all are the best!”
“I had such a great experience with my Skylar! She took amazing care of my pup while I was away and made me feel totally at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant so much and helped me relax knowing he was happy and well looked after. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid attention to all the little details. I’d absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat — highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth was Awesome!! My TAZ loved it and we was kept notified with pics and videos of how he was doing. Definitely recommend and will be using again when needed.”
“It is so amazing to find people in our community that will love on and take care of our boys as if they were their own. Ashley and her family spoiled our boys and they were worn out when they got home. Thank you so much for being amazing sitters.”
“Luna absolutely loved her stay with Mia. She had a great time and made new friends. Mia kept me updated all the time and made sure Luna felt comfortable. I know she was well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with Mia again.”
“Susan was amazing with Cookie! 🐶❤️ This was my first time leaving him with a sitter, and she made me feel completely comfortable. She sent me lots of pictures and updates, and I could tell Cookie was happy and very well cared for. She was so sweet and attentive with my little baby. I’m so happy we found her and will definitely be using her again. I highly recommend Susan! 🐾”
“Flor was awesome! Very accommodating, well communicated and very patient when it came to my dogs needs. Will definitely book with her again when we’re back in town.”
“Michelle was very nice and kept me updated on our furry family member. She was very attentive to details and was respectful and asked before she tried new things with our pet.”
“Timothy did a great job taking care of Skipper . He sent a video of him playing and a photo of skipper sleeping in the bed . Always answer me back in a timely fashion when I was checking up on skipper.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a great experience with Andrea’s dog boarding service! My dog really enjoyed the stay. Andrea was very responsive and even accommodated an extra day on short notice, which we truly appreciated. Highly recommended—thank you, Andrea!”
“Brandon is my new favorite dog sitter and I am thrilled. He and his partner Rhonda were wonderful to meet, very welcoming to Stella and me in their home. Brandon was noticeably helpful in my communications with him; easy-going during my search for a sitter and also at drop-off. He was especially excellent with daily contact to show me photos and to share notes about her status; it was a grand surprise to hear from him within just a few hours after drop-off. I have complete confidence in his professional skills and attitude. I’m crossing my fingers that he will be available each time Stella needs a pet-sitter in the future.”
