She kept us up to date and sent pictures regularly which made my time away from my precious fur baby much easier knowing he was happy and well cared for. Would definitely rebook again whenever needed. Very kind and sweet sitter; highly recommend! :)”

Kimberly, you did a great job and i will definitely be booking again. She responded very quickly and accepted my booking almost immediately.”
“Mona is the best!! It was our first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous but Mona always gave me updates and send me plenty of pictures of my dog. Also I appreciated her going out of her way to buy food for my dog since we forgot to take her some. We will definitely be booking her again when needed!!! Don’t think twice about booking her!!”
“Lily has been absolutely wonderful with my Corgi, Elliot who is 15 years. She had him for five days. Lilly communicates with you and sends pictures of him every day.

“Weiyue and her partner were absolutely amazing cat sitters! Tom was clearly well-loved and cared for while we were away on our trip. It was so reassuring knowing he was in such capable hands. They sent us the photos and updates about Tom every visit. We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving cat sitter.”

She arrived on time, provided thorough check-ins on the app, and sent me pictures as well letting me know he was happy and healthy.”
“This is our second time using Mckalynn. This time we left for 6 days. I would not trust anyone else to watch Gunner and Sparrow other than Mckalynn. Her attention to deal and communication is unlike any other. She truly cares and loves our babies like her own. She will do anything to make sure they have their full needs met. She will play and give all the cuddles. She gives our animals preference in everything she does. She will use all minutes to cuddle, play or pets. She isn't afraid to sit on the ground to allow our clingy animals in her lap. She is so graceful and does things effortlessly. If you worry about leaving your fur babies for a long trip doing Rover and choosing Mckalynn is the best way. This makes our lives so much easier knowing someone as awesome as her us taking care of our pets in the comfort of our home. We will be booking again.”

About: Pets have been a cherished part of my life for as long as I can remember. From a young age, I've always considered them true family members. The love they give to you, and being such loyal companions who deserve the same care, respect, and devotion we give to our own children. Throughout the years, I've taken full responsibility for their well-being, from feeding them on schedule, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and outdoor time, providing comfort when needed, and always prioritizing their happiness and health. I would and have gone to great lengths to ensure their safety and joy, treating them with the unconditional love they so freely give in return. I recently left my full-time job to pursue my families dream of owning and operating our own business, which we have now actually started together. With this significant life transition, I am seeking a flexible side opportunity that can generate additional income while aligning with helping those in need, all while getting to work with animals, especially dogs! When I discovered this app, it felt like the ideal combination, connecting with pet owners who require assistance with dog walking, playtime, check-ins, or basic care. It perfectly merges meaningful work, while providing companionship and support to animals. This opportunity fits perfectly with my values and allows me to make a positive difference in the lives of both pets and their owners. I am excited about the potential and eager to get started! Treating them with the care and respect they deserve, all while giving them the attention they want! I love being with them as much as they love being with us!
“Kaitlyn did a very good job with my dogs. She arrived on time and showed a lot of attention to BoJo who is an attention hog. She was also able to handle Mable who is very energetic with ease. I highly recommend Kailyn to take very good care of your pets and will be using her again in the future.”
About: FREE extra pets for sitting! Hi, I’m Andrew. I’m a US Army Veteran of the Iraq War, 2014 Texas A&M graduate, currently enrolled in an online graduate program through Texas Tech for Clinical Rehab Counseling. My goal is to work with other Veterans when I graduate. I walk multiple Rover doggos every morning and evening, and even weekends. I pride myself on being punctual, having good communication with my clients, and making bonds with the dogs I walk. Book me to add your loves to my schedule. I am a long-time dog owner, currently two huskies who I consider part of my family. I walk them every day, and they let me know when it’s time. Spoiled with love, toys, more love, treats, even more love, good food, a little more love and scratches of course. Since joining Rover, I’ve gained a wealth of experience handling dogs of different ages and needs, and clients with different expectations and levels of instruction. I’ve sat for disabled dogs, older dogs, young and hyper dogs. I’ve sat for and walked dogs in apartments, gated communities, even a senior living facility. And I’m ready to go above and beyond. I helped a client who had surgery by taking their dog to the vet. If I can do it, I will help. I have a big heart for pets. They love us unconditionally after all. They deserve it. Please note: I do not sit for or walk aggressive dogs or breeds known for dangerous behavior. I, as a provider, am open to legal liability if there’s ever any incidents. It’s simply not worth the risk, and though I am insured, I cannot afford the liability those types of incidents would require. I hope you understand, this is a business decision, not a judgment. Also please note I am not a dog trainer. My dogs are spoiled! If you are looking for someone to walk your dog like all those trainer videos, that’s not me. I want dogs to have fun on their walks, not feel like they just get what they can get out of them. I let them sniff around, look at ducks or squirrels, mark, all while maintaining safe boundaries for your pet and other pedestrians and pets. And none of this means I will not reinforce training expectations you have already instilled in your pet, simply let me know what those are. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to get to know me better. We can have a video chat. As to my schedule, I am currently in an online graduate program, so I have a flexible availability. Please reach out to me about my current walking schedule for regular clients as to what times I have available and what may be best for you. For some reason, this app allows people to book requests during times I am already booked, so that is one thing we’d have to discuss. What can you expect from me? Lots of love, cuddles, scratches, treats, playtime. Your pets will have my full attention. I know I charge a little more than others, but that’s because you’re paying for the best. Someone who is reliable, trustworthy with your home and pets, and who meets and exceeds your expectations and instructions. I once hired a sitter who didn’t realize I had a camera in my den. She spent 95% of the time I paid for to give my dogs some attention on her phone. She even swatted away my dogs when they approached! Then snapped some pics, fed them and left. I NEVER want my clients to feel that way. I will treat your pets the way I would hope people would treat my own.

“It’s been a week since Layla was with Rowena. Just now I mentioned her name and Layla tore out of the room to look for her. When she couldn’t find her she started howling! I think it’s time for another visit! Thanks so much for loving Layla! She so clearly loves you back!”
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, chickens and other birds my whole life, more than 40 years. I’m a retired teacher and empty nester and I’m home most of the time so your fur babies will get lots of love and attention! I’m retired so I’m home and available almost all of the time. I’d rather be at home with furry friends. They’ll get lots of love and attention with me. I have a large fenced yard and a one story house with wood floors. I’m an empty nester so it’s just me and my service dog at home. There’s no kids around just me and my sweet dog.
About: I have an exceptional talent in making each and every canine and feline feel happy and loved. They thrive under my care, and love individual attention and understanding. Pet care is second nature to me, and fits extremely well with my current lifestyle of working part time and living in a retirement community. Pets cared for in my home are well loved and get lots of attention. I walk dogs regularly, and am exceptional at playing with and caring for them. I am in the backyard with them whenever they go outside.

About: Hi there, my name is Anne. I recently relocated here from the East Coast to be with my fiancé. As a stay-at-home furry mom who works part-time and from home, I have ample time to play with and shower your fur child with love, just like I do with mine. My fiancé also works from home, and my retired mom lives with us, so your baby will never be alone. There will always be someone in the same room with your baby, most likely sitting next to them. =) My animal experience: I’ve had dogs since elementary school and have never been without a canine companion since. Throughout high school and college, I expanded my pet care experience by babysitting various animals for church members, including dogs, rabbits, mini pigs, and birds. I also volunteered at the local animal’s shelter for 18 months when I was in my late twenties. I have had experience with puppies, senior dogs, and handicapped dogs in the past as well, so I am confident in my ability to care for them. Also, my fiancé is experienced in dog training and therapy work, and we currently share our home with two rescued Chihuahuas. We are both well versed in dog CPR, medication administration, and wound care. Our top priority is to provide a safe and positive experience for your furry baby while you are away. We ensure a secure, clean, and organized environment where your pet will feel relaxed, happy, and protected. * For new Rover customers - please use promo code ANNEQ60631 for a sweet $20 discount! =) Meet and Greet/Pick-up and Drop-off: To ensure everyone’s safety, especially the fur babies, only one pet parent will be allowed inside the house at a time. All fur children must be leashed upon arrival and throughout the Meet and Greet. Drop-off time: Anytime after 9 am. Exceptions may be made in certain situations. Please inform me in advance. I have a spacious fenced yard where your fur baby can romp and play alongside my two friendly Chihuahuas if they like. There's also plenty of room inside the house for your baby to roam freely, just like mine. Your baby is welcome on the couch and in my bedroom. My retired mom, in her seventies but looks and acts like she’s in her 50s, will pitch in and shower your baby with love, attention, and care as well. She sleeps upstairs and can sleep with your baby if they prefer to be away from other dogs. *There are security cameras outside and inside the house, recording 24 hours a day to ensure everyone’s safety.*
About: Hi my name is Alan and my wife’s name is Valerie! I have become extremely enthusiastic about this app as it has given me the opportunity to meet and get to know new families, individuals and a few different dogs. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pup and can’t wait to create a lasting relationship with everyone involved. My childhood growing up with my dogs i feel has given me a good amount of knowledge when it comes to walking, looking after, raising and potty training. My availability is a little spotty seeing as how I have a full time job but I love any and all dogs and I’m really hoping I can create new relationships with you and yours. I’m great with dogs and dogs are great with me. My wife is home everyday. And I will be home after 6pm. We are both home on weekends. Once she goes back to work after her maternity leave starting February 21, she will be home by 4pm. Valerie and I took a break from Rover for a while due to space issues but we just moved into our new house this past August 2022 and we are excited to provide a spacious home as well as a spacious fenced in backyard. We are also in a brand new community so it’s extra quiet here in our area.
“Maverick had a blast staying with Alejandro and Keyla while we were away for the weekend. They kept us updated with pictures and videos. We will def be using them again for boarding. Thanks for taking care of our fur baby!”

Family members and friends regularly trust me to watch their dogs because they know they’ll be safe, happy, and well cared for.

I understand that every dog has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and care for them according to their individual needs.

I currently have a very flexible schedule and full availability, which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether you need daytime visits, evening care, weekends, holidays, or last-minute bookings, I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible. I’ll always make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication, playtime, and any special requests. Every pet has different needs and personalities, so I adapt my care to make them feel safe and comfortable. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and respect while keeping you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I am a very experienced animal caretaker. I have been around animals since I was born. I have been caring for clients’ animals since I was able to drive, but helping with family pets my whole life. I am a huge animal lover, animals>people.

Passionate about caring for animals with my specialty being bathing (I have been told I give the best baths😉). Looking forward to meeting many new furry friends! I am working full time, but I am looking to fit in some animal care into my weekly routine. I am starting off with weekends only, but I will continue to reevaluate how to fit more time into my schedule. I have a fenced in yard with 4 dogs and a cat in the house to keep your furbabies company. Being dog friendly is a must for any dogs that come into the house.

About: I’ve had animals my whole entire life, I grew up with a lot of siblings which meant even more animals. My love for animals goes beyond, I will say I’m terrified of insects but I like to be kind to ALL and will do everything to protect them and get them somewhere safe. my animals are my absolute world, all my animals are rescues, I’ve always had a hard time saying no to an animals asking to be loved/cared for. I have done several successful TNR’s for cats in neighborhoods I’ve lived in, along with taking dogs/cats to vets and animal shelters and trying to help them be reunited with family/finding a forever home, always trying to help save as many as I can. I currently have one pup, 5 cats that live inside and 2 outside cats. I am a helicopter parent of my babies and I would love to be considered to be a helicopter for yours as well, I myself use Rover and I would love to meet you and your babies to assure our compatibility, as I do with mine, and rest assured if you do not feel completely comfortable I will not be offended, the ultimate goal is that our babies are well taken care of and we have peace of mind! I am not currently working besides Rover, so my schedule will be open for you, and I would love to provide your babies with all the care they will need while you’re away :) I unfortunately cannot offer in home care at this time. I have had animals of different temperaments or some that need extra care for medical reasons, I am not able to give shots but I am familiar with giving medications.
“Ashley has been walking my dog for several weeks now and she is fantastic! Very friendly and dependable, and great with communication! Will definitely continue to work with her in the future.”

“Esmeralda has been exceptional with her patience and willingness to be adaptable in working with our 2 dogs. Both have big trust issues and are very nervous to allow new people around them. She has devoted a lot of her extra time to make sure they get and feel comfortable with her. That being said, she has relieved a lot of stress and concern on my end for I want my dogs to feel as little anxiety and fear as possible as well as benefit from having the ability to go outside and go for a walk and get some fresh air. I hope Esmeralda can be a part of our household as long as possible and enjoys the dogs as much as I enjoy having her help.”
“She is absolutely amazing. I have already booked her for other services and recommended her to others. Sweetest individual and takes the upmost care of your pet like they’re her own!🤍 She’s also very flexible worth is amazing as my schedule sometimes changes, she’s there when I need her!!”
About: 10+ years! I have 4 dogs at home, and occasionally work with my veterinarian friend as well as taking care of my friend’s 3 cats and 2 dogs for extended periods. I love spending the time, while respecting everybody’s individual differences, in figuring out what character I have the pleasure of being with— the goofy kind that wants me to jump around with them and go on walks, the type that’d like to stay on my lap with endless massages, or some that’d rather keep their personal space! I’m a recent biology graduate and have an interest in veterinary/medical sciences, and I’d love to meet new personalities to get more experience. This is my first summer since graduating, and have very open availablity as such. Pet sitting alongside a summer class is the only thing currently on my schedule. I would only be able to do client house visits for walking/care, but I am very detail oriented and serious about curating a comfortable time for your pets but also at managing any specific procedures you’d like me to follow. I’ve worked at a research lab for over 3 years and thus have a lot of experience with following instructions to the T!

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets since I was a little girl. I’m used to all breeds of dogs and own one from another country. I also own reptiles and a cat and truly appreciate taking care of them as family members. I’m currently working part-time from home/phone, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. Most of my work is done by phone or computer, so working away from home will not be an issue. I have three dogs in my home that are very friendly with other dogs. I can visit your home, walk and play with your pet, and put them in their crates or room if you need.

“Exceptional! Sir whined after I picked him up for the second time which means he really loved being there. Britteny is very responsive, checks in, and so helpful. I can’t say enough great things.”
“I have used Patricia on almost every time I go out of town and I'm always amazed with her level of care for my pet. I hesitate in leaving a good review for selfish reasons (I don't want her to get so booked that I have to find another sitter).”
“Liron is fantastic! She tool excellent care of my dog while my family and I were away. She kept me updated with daily photos and messages. Our dog loves attention and she gave him the extra care and attention he needed. We will definitely book with her again!”
“This is the 2nd time that Bruno & Wasabi have stayed at Andrea's house and there will be a 3rd time next month! As I reviewed in June, she is an awesome host for my 2 spoiled brats! Pictures and videos and communication daily and I look forward for them. The pups have been sleeping the whole time since I picked them up as they played everyday!”
“Keya, Neel, Krish and Geetika took amazing care of our pup Cashew. They gave her the best time they possibly could and Keya gave us cute updates with pictures and videos everyday. Cashew enjoyed her stay at their house!”
“Mona is the best!! It was our first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous but Mona always gave me updates and send me plenty of pictures of my dog. Also I appreciated her going out of her way to buy food for my dog since we forgot to take her some. We will definitely be booking her again when needed!!! Don’t think twice about booking her!!”
“Lily has been absolutely wonderful with my Corgi, Elliot who is 15 years. She had him for five days. Lilly communicates with you and sends pictures of him every day. Elliot came home clean well looked after. I was so relieved as I had him boarded at other places and had very bad experiences. Totally happy this time!”
“Alejandro and his family were wonderful sitters for our golden retriever puppy while we had a two-night stay out of town. We went for a meet & greet prior and I could see immediately that our sometimes-timid puppy was comfortable and happy in their house. I felt she was very well looked after and Alejandro sent numerous photos and updates throughout the weekend, including videos from the many walks they took her on. Alejandro has three lovely children who help with the dog-sitting - I am sure my puppy enjoyed the extra attention and cuddles! Our dog has returned home her usual happy self and it is clear she was well looked after and cared for. Would not hesitate to book Alejandro again, and can confidently recommend his services to anyone else.”
“Gina was AMAZING! Great communication, quick response for availability, flexible and helped with updating trip plans. We had a meet and greet in public & instantly felt comfortable! She and family are so welcoming and I truly felt my pups were away on vacation as well lol. Received loads of photo and video updates with the cutest messages from our pups’ pov 🥰. We will definitely be a regular customer ! Please give her a try, you won’t regret it!”
“Bo was absolutely incredible! My dog stayed with him for over a week, and I couldn't have asked for better care. He stuck to a strict feeding schedule made sure she got plenty of exercise and playtime, and even gave her a bath so she came home smelling fresh. The daily updates and photos were the highlight of my trip and gave me total peace of mind. Highly recommend!"”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about leaving my dog with strangers, but Gabriela and her family made the experience a very good one for both me and my dog. I could see how comfortable she was when pictures were sent to me. Thank you so much. I am already sharing my experience with others.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was Nala’s second stay with Kelly, and once again she had a wonderful experience! Nala is always happy to go there and enjoys being around the other dogs, since she is very friendly and social. Kelly was very understanding of Nala’s needs and made sure she was comfortable throughout her stay. I loved receiving updates and seeing how relaxed and content Nala was. It’s clear that Kelly genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and creates a safe, welcoming environment for them. I would absolutely trust Kelly with Nala again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. 🐾❤️ O una versión un poco más corta: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was Nala’s second stay with Kelly, and she was excited to be back! Nala loves being around other dogs, and Kelly provides a great environment where she feels comfortable and happy. Kelly was very understanding of Nala’s needs, kept me updated, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely book with Kelly again. Highly recommended! 🐾❤️”
“Janna is the BEST! My fur baby was happy to come home but she was not anxious at all when we picked her up. She is a 10 year old escape artist and Janna kept her well exercised and happy. She had her for a week with no problems. We will be using her for all of our vacations from now on.”
“Daniel and Kristy were awesome! They took great care of our two golden retrievers for a couple weeks while we were out of town. Communication was great, and they sent us pictures of the doggies every day we were gone, which we really appreciated! We felt very comfortable leaving our pups with them and will definitely reach out to them the next time!”
“I’m SO thankful for the care of my babies!! I got daily check ins with pictures and access to communication. I was super nervous using the Rover app for my first time, but this was an amazing experience!!”
About: I have over 18 years of experience a both owning and fostering for dogs, from many breeds, Chihuahua to German Shepherds, from puppies to older pups. I’ve also been through several obedience trainings and have experience administering medication. I work from home and will be at home every day, so dogs can be uncrated for most of the day if needed. We can walk, feed and play as their schedule needs. I have a fully fenced yard as well for extended outdoor time. There’s a dog park with a lake very close by if that’s an environment your dog would be comfortable in.
“The level of care and attention America provided to Milo was exceptional. From the regular updates to the fun activities they did together, it was clear that America truly loves animals and understands their needs. As a pet owner, it's reassuring to know that your furry friend is in good hands, and America exceeded all my expectations. If you're a pet owner looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter, I highly recommend giving America a try. You won't be disappointed! I have found my new permanent sitter!”
