“Kelsi was fantastic! She kept us informed through messaging with photos. Our little Frenchie was equally excited. If you love your pets, Kelsi is a great option to care for your fur babies!”
“Natasha was a great host for our lab. Our dog was happy and had lots of time playing ball and cuddling. We were updated frequently and we appreciated that piece of mind while we were away. Would be happy to have our dog stay again 😊”
“We (and our pup, Fig) could not have been happier with Amy!! She kept us updated throughout each day with messages, photos, and videos. It was obvious how much fun Fig had with them in the fenced in yard, playing with new friends, and cozying up on the couch. She will absolutely be back. :)”
“This was our first time using Rover and we are so grateful to have found Cyndi! She eased our minds right away by letting us visit for a meet and greet. She has a lovely home with an amazing backyard for our pup to explore. She is quick to respond to messages and gives thorough feedback with lots of photos each day. We could tell our pup was at ease during his stay and have already made another reservation with her. She is a calm presence that will love your pup and make the stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much Cyndi!!”
“Shakita took great care of my baby. She sent plenty of pictures and videos every day. I couldn’t be happier with who i left my baby with for the longest time and the furthest distance we’d been apart!!”
“Jeanette and her family were absolutely wonderful with my pup. I needed a last-minute sitter, and she was so kind and accommodating. I was very nervous about leaving Bailey somewhere other than with family, but Jeanette immediately put me at ease. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and check-ins, which I truly appreciated. Bailey had an amazing time and was happy, tired, and clearly well loved when I picked her up. I would highly recommend Jeanette and her family, they truly made Bailey feel right at home.”
“Jayanna went above, and beyond to accommodate me from my 1st last minute request at 5.a.m., to keeping my Kenny an extra few hrs because I had an accident that even called for an ambulance, and was still available to have him ready at 12:30 a.m. so we could get on the Hwy heading towards Texas. She was the Greatest. $40 tip along with the extra hours into a paid full day day was a drop in the bucket for someone a kind, sweet, and caring with animals, and clients as she's proben to be! 🥰”
“Matt was absolutely amazing and so easy to work with. This was our first time spending a weekend away from Kappy, and Matt really put us at ease with constant updates and photos.”
“What a wonderful family!!! They were so welcoming of our big Akita and took care of him just like he was their own. And their dog was also great with mine. They were so accommodating and happy to have Rocko. I would 100% recommend them to anyone and will be using them again. Thank you again Zach and Kelsey!”
“I am very pleased with how Terry cared for my dog while I was out if town. She is not only responsible, she is a very loving dog owner. I highly recommend Terry’s services. Good experience. I knew he was in good hands!”
“Jesse was so sweet and enthusiastic about watching Ripley on short notice over the Christmas holiday. Lots of walks, attention, and hanging with other hounds…she loved being a part of his pack. 😊”
“Pamela, Paul, and Marlowe took excellent care of our dog while we took a 10-day trip, and she is now best friends with Marlowe! Will hope to bring her back to them for ever!”
“Susan was so welcoming and I felt very comfortable leaving my Goldendoodle son with her! She has a wonderful, large back yard that my dog enjoyed! She sent me photos everyday and let me know how he was doing. I am 100% booking Susan for my dog the next time I am out of town!”
“Stephen was wonderful with our dog, Alex. Alex has Cushing's Disease and needs to drink lots of water and then go potty multiple times during the day. Stephen was very accepting of that and welcomed us warmly during the Meet and Greet, as well as drop off. We only needed someone for about 12 hours. Stephen treated Alex like a member of his family. They went on several walks together and Stephen sent multiple updates during the day.Alex loved staying with him and his family. We would absolutely recommend Stephen as a dog sitter and would definitely choose him again.”
“Ronda was absolutely great! My pup warmed up to her immediately and I could tell by the end of her trip, Ronda was a fave! She took great care of pup and kept me up to date on her walks and behavior. My dog sometimes gets separation anxiety, but ate and enjoyed all her time. She was also super flexible with me! Highly recommend!”
“Damacia took great care of Toby when I was out. Always kept me updated with pictures and messages. Toby came back home very happy. I’ll definitely be booking with Damacia for future trips.”
“Im so glad my little guy got to stay with Emily and her daughter! He came home happy and healthy, and Emily sent some photos and updates while we were away. Great and quick to communicate! Highly recommend.”

“Farnaz is absolutely wonderful. She took great care of my 3 cats while I was out of town. She was punctual and patient with my shy babies. She made sure Chasie took his medicine and was able to pet Gracie who others have had a hard time finding. She was tidy, cleaned up messes and brought in packages. Her communication and updates were perfect, putting my mind at ease. I highly recommend her for your pets and we will be booking again soon.”
“Sierra is the absolute best! Four cats with all different foods and she’s still on top of it. Our minds are always at ease knowing that Sierra is taking good care of our kitties!”
“Rochelle watched our senior cat, Callie, at our home while we were on vacation. She was extremely reliable and trustworthy—sending us daily pictures, videos, and updates. It was easy to tell how much she loves animals and our cat absolutely loved her. She even left us the sweetest letter upon our return summarizing their at-home adventures from week. A great person and a wonderful pet companion. We highly recommend her and will absolutely ask her to sit for us for future trips.”
“I’m so glad we found Michaela to watch our two kitties while we were away! She was communicative, provided updates and checked in with photos. We felt very comfortable knowing she was taking care of things (brought in mail, dealing with litter robot, playtime, feeding twice a day, etc.) and she did a great job! Thank you Michaela!”
“Alexandra watched my kitten, Louis at her home for a couple of nights and was absolutely wonderful! Her dog was also super sweet and got along wonderfully with Louis. Alexandra was very communicative and sent tons of updates and pictures of Louis. I felt completely at ease leaving him in her hands and I would 100% have him stay with Alexandra and her dog again! 😊”
“Mary was so amazing with our cat Theo and our chickens while we were away. She went above and beyond with pics and updates of him and made sure he was well loved and taken care of! Theo was calm and happy when we arrived home and we cant thank her enough for watching him! Couldn’t recommend her enough :) Thanks Mary!!!”
“Randi went above and beyond to make sure our animals were taken care of. She even voluntarily took home a chick that could not walk and fixed it's leg so it can get around on its own now. She also watered our plants and brought in mail while we were gone. She seems to know a lot about dogs and is a wealth of info on chickens, as well. Some of my chickens were not doing so well and thanks to her advice, they are looking healthier. I'd highly recommend her.”
“Amanda did a wonderful job pet sitting Misty, our 5 year old short hair tabby cat. This is the first time we have used Rover.com. I was very impressed the Rover.com app and pet sitting services provided. When our flight was delay, I contact Amanda to fed Misty for another day. It was no problem. I will definitely use Amanda again with Rover.com. Thank you. Sandra & Randal”
About: Every cat is unique, and I’ll care for yours according to their individual personality and routine. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet companionship, or simply appreciates a calm, familiar presence, I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m comfortable with administering medications when needed, and I’ll keep food, water, and litter boxes exceptionally clean so your cat stays happy, healthy, and stress-free.
About: I’ve grown up around cats and currently have two of my own! I also have 3 years of experience working as a kennel technician at a boarding facility, where I cared for cats with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable giving medications, keeping up with feeding routines, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure cats get plenty of attention and enrichment. I know every cat is different, so I’m happy to give them space when they need it. Making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been surrounded by cats for as long as I can remember! Growing up as an only child, our pets were my built-in best friends, and caring for them was my responsibility from a young age. I’ve continued to have cats throughout my adult life, and I currently have cats of my own who are very loved (and very spoiled!) members of our family. Over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me to drop in and stay with their cats while they’re away. I know cats have their own personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Some want all the attention the second you walk through the door, while others need you to earn their trust from across the room first! I’m happy to meet them wherever they’re most comfortable. Whether that means meals and fresh water, litter box care, playtime, medication or routine needs, lots of cuddles, or simply giving them some company and making sure everything is okay, I want your cat to feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I have had to give my own cats medications from time to time and I know how hard that can be! I am experienced and comfortable being able to do what is needed for your fur babies! I’m also a mom to a toddler and three pets of my own, and in our house, pets are never “just pets”, they’re family. I know how nerve-racking it can be to trust someone else with one of your babies, so I’ll always treat your cat with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want someone to give my own. And yes, I will absolutely send you pictures of your cat while you’re gone.
About: We have had cats since I was born! I love working with the shy ones and slowly gaining their trust. I have taken in numerous strays over the years who were feral. My last one I took in 2 years ago. Prior to catching her succesfully, she had two litters of kittens all of which I decided to keep (7 cats in total, 3 are in the picture, they were just 4 months there! They are the largest cats I've ever had!)
“Sophia took great care of my two kitties! She was really sweet and easy to get in touch with to set up the visits. While I was gone she sent me great notes and pictures every day. And she didnt make me feel judged for all of my ridiculous cat care requests (like all good crazy cat ladies have). She also went above and beyond to help me with a problem that came up in my apt while I was gone. I came home to a clean apt and happy kitties. I would definitely book her again and recommend you do too!”

“Susan and Josh were such great hosts for June! Lots of outdoor space, and other dogs to hang out with. I would recommend this home to any pet and will use again if we’re in the area!”
“Kelsi and her family were wonderful hosts to Fin! They were adaptable as I needed a last minute pet sit for a couple of hours. Fin loved hanging at their house and he was super comfortable the whole time. I would definitely book with Kelsi again!”
“Vannessa is very reliable and sweet! My puppy loves her. She sends pics/vids throughout the day. Its a bonus that she lives 5mins from me. Grateful to have found her as I wasn’t expecting to get Ace so soon. So thank you very much for all you do, it is more than appreciated!”
“Natasha and her family were great! She sent numerous photos throughout the day and my dog looked so happy playing with her kids and the other dogs at her house. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you!”
“We ❤️ Sheri!! She has watched my pup on my long class days for two semesters now and he now knows when we are almost at her house and gets so excited! It’s so nice knowing he is somewhere that he loves and gets lots of walks and snuggles when I can’t be there!”
“Always satisfied with Srujana’s care and enthusiasm when looking after Tenor. The pup always comes back happy, and most importantly, tuckered you after playing with Rex all day.”
“Ashley and her family were wonderful in watching my sweet puppy Banks for the day! I was in desperate need of a last minute sitter and Ashley stepped in to help. This was my first time away from Banks and I was overjoyed that he came home happy and well cared for! I would absolutely hire Ashely again and I am so thankful for such an amazing experience :)”
“Parneet was sweet and assured me my puppy was in good hands. It was my first experience with Rover and I was nervous. At the end of the day I picked up a calm, tired and happy puppy. Perfect.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of all kinds since I was 5 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats of all sizes while they travel or during emergencies. I love spoiling pets whenever I get the chance, and I treat every dog or cat as if they were my own. I do work a hybrid schedule and I’m also able to work from your home as well while sitting. I have plenty of time after or even before that to care for any pet that’s in my care. I’m free and available! I have a fenced in backyard and two other fur babies that will also keep your fur babies company and they have a lot of energy as well. I have enough space within my home to crate your puppies/dogs if needed.
“Loren has been absolutely amazing. She responded very quickly, we had a fantastic meet & greet, and I knew she'd take great care of Professor. He had a great time spending the day with Loren. I'd highly recommend her!”
“Zaria is wonderful with dogs. My little ones tend to be shy and skittish with strangers but not with her. They were comfortable immediately. It was such a relief to know they would be happy with her. I HIGHLY recommend Zaria to take for your fur babies too!”
“Eva is amazing! She took great care of my rambunctious puppy and even taught her some training tips. She sent photos and updates frequently and I know my puppy received the best care and love.”
“Andreea was very professional and took good care of our 1 year old golden retriever Theo. Theo is an energetic dog due to his age and Andreea was able to manage his energy. She has a big backyard and couple of dogs herself which made Theo’s time enjoyable and I could see Theo wanted to spend more time with her. Overall a great experience and would recommend Andreea to everyone.”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable, caring dog lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. I understand that pets are family, and my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or feeding, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Why Choose Me? ✔ Patient, attentive, and reliable ✔ Clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment ✔ Regular updates with photos and messages ✔ Genuinely love spending time with animals I work from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a friendly dog of my own, so your pup will have a built-in buddy for play and socialization. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to stick closely to your dog’s routine, provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love. Your dog will never be left alone for long and will be treated like part of the family. I care for pets as if they were my own, with safety, trust, and comfort as my top priorities. In my home, pets stay in a clean, calm environment with a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and potty breaks. I also have crates available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a quiet, safe space to relax.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, growing up in a home with multiple pups of all sizes. From feeding and bathing to long walks and playtime, I’ve always been hands-on in making sure they’re happy and well cared for. In addition to dogs, I’ve also raised birds, turtles, and fish, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I currently work from home so I’m able to provide physical comfort and stimulation via petting and playing with toys. We also have a dog park where I can take your pet for off leash running around and fetching. I have experience providing oral medicine for dogs. I allow dogs on furniture and free roaming in the house, but if you have a crate and wish to bring it just let me know. Please provide any instructions on feeding schedule or items.

“Sierra has been walking our dog Harley for a little over a month now and all I can say is how grateful we are to have found Sierra! Harley can be a shy girl initially but she warmed right up to Sierra and loves her midday walks with her! I would definitely recommend Sierra for any pet care needs. She is so responsive and sends lots of pictures of your fur baby (which we love) each time she’s with them and a detailed review of their time together.”
“We had a great walk yesterday. Rochelle was great. She walked Prince and handled him very well. She also learned some of our walking routes as well as side streets of Ashland.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! Growing up as an only child, our pets were my built-in best friends and caring for them was my responsibility from a young age. That love for animals has only grown with me. Over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me to drop in, walk, and stay with their pets while they’re away, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal and their individual personality, routines, and quirks. These days, I’m a mom to a toddler and three very loved pets of my own, including my Golden Retriever, who is always happy to join me for a random walk during the day! I’d love to add a few more furry friends to my walking schedule and give them the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own. In our house, pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll always treat yours with the same love and importance I would want someone to give mine. Whether they need a good walk, some playtime, company, or just someone to make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away, I’d be so happy to be that person! I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout my day! I’m able to come and go as needed, so fitting walks, drop-ins, and visits into my daily routine is easy. I also have a great support system at home, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling and give your pets the time and attention they need. Because my work is remote, I can also bring it with me when needed! If your pet would benefit from a little extra company beyond a typical drop-in, I’m happy to settle in with my laptop and spend some additional time with them rather than rushing out the door. As a mom and pet owner myself, caring for both little humans and furry family members is already a big part of my everyday life. My child has been raised around animals and taught from the beginning to be gentle and respectful of their space. My schedule allows me plenty of freedom to make pet care a natural, and very welcome, part of my day! In our house, pet care is part of our everyday routine! I make sure fresh water is always available both upstairs and downstairs and changed daily, my cats’ food is checked and replenished each day, and my dog eats on a consistent twice-daily schedule. When I’m home, my dog gets a morning or afternoon walk, plenty of trips outside to our fenced backyard throughout the day, and usually a daycare day or two each week for some extra exercise and socialization. When I leave the house, I’m also very mindful of his safety, he stays comfortably downstairs with access to his bed and water, potential chewing hazards are put away, and toys that require supervision are never left out. I’d bring that same level of attention to caring for your pets! I know every animal and household has its own routine, so I’m happy to follow your feeding schedule, potty or litter box routine, walking preferences, playtime rules, and any other instructions that help your pet feel comfortable. Whether your pet thrives on a strict schedule or has their own wonderfully specific set of quirks, I want their routine to feel as normal as possible while you’re away.
“Alexandra is the best.My dog paced the floor excited when she knew she was on the way. Very friendly and reliable and tolerated my pulling dog. She helped me tremendously on short notice. My GSP Sadie enjoyed her walking adventures. I trust Alexandra with any pet needs and will be using her in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them since I was 9. I have experience with all kinds of personalities, from easygoing dogs to more high-maintenance pets. I grew up with a Labrador/Mastiff mix and now have an older Beagle, two Golden Retrievers, and two cats. So I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities! I’m currently a junior biology student at RMC and plan to pursue veterinary medicine. I’ve also worked as a kennel technician at a boarding facility for 3 years, where I cared for a variety of dogs and cats and learned how to recognize changes in behavior and health, prevent stressful situations, and safely handle different personalities. I’m trained in giving pill and oral medications as well as applying topical medications such as ointments, oils, and sprays. I understand how important it is for medications to be given correctly and on time, especially for pets who rely on medications for conditions like heart or seizure issues. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, stimulation, and lots of care based on their individual needs. I’m currently a college student at RMC, so my weekday availability depends on my class schedule. My classes are Mondays from 9:10 AM–4:30 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00–9:30 AM, 1:20–2:50 PM, and 4:00–5:00 PM, and Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:10 AM–12:20 PM. I’m best available for house sitting on weekends. During the weekdays, I’m available for cat clients and dogs who don’t need consistent potty breaks throughout the day. I can stay at your home once I’m finished with classes for the day. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I can also stop by for a 1–2 hour period after 9:30 AM. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With 3 years of experience as a kennel technician, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I follow your instructions closely and make sure pets receive their meals, medications, exercise, and attention as requested. For house sitting, I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and keep you updated while you’re away. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.
About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to your pets needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of pet personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.

“Kelsi was fantastic! She kept us informed through messaging with photos. Our little Frenchie was equally excited. If you love your pets, Kelsi is a great option to care for your fur babies!”
“Natasha was a great host for our lab. Our dog was happy and had lots of time playing ball and cuddling. We were updated frequently and we appreciated that piece of mind while we were away. Would be happy to have our dog stay again 😊”
“This was our first time using Rover and we are so grateful to have found Cyndi! She eased our minds right away by letting us visit for a meet and greet. She has a lovely home with an amazing backyard for our pup to explore. She is quick to respond to messages and gives thorough feedback with lots of photos each day. We could tell our pup was at ease during his stay and have already made another reservation with her. She is a calm presence that will love your pup and make the stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much Cyndi!!”
“Jeanette and her family were absolutely wonderful with my pup. I needed a last-minute sitter, and she was so kind and accommodating. I was very nervous about leaving Bailey somewhere other than with family, but Jeanette immediately put me at ease. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and check-ins, which I truly appreciated. Bailey had an amazing time and was happy, tired, and clearly well loved when I picked her up. I would highly recommend Jeanette and her family, they truly made Bailey feel right at home.”
“Matt was absolutely amazing and so easy to work with. This was our first time spending a weekend away from Kappy, and Matt really put us at ease with constant updates and photos.”
“What a wonderful family!!! They were so welcoming of our big Akita and took care of him just like he was their own. And their dog was also great with mine. They were so accommodating and happy to have Rocko. I would 100% recommend them to anyone and will be using them again. Thank you again Zach and Kelsey!”

“Jesse was so sweet and enthusiastic about watching Ripley on short notice over the Christmas holiday. Lots of walks, attention, and hanging with other hounds…she loved being a part of his pack. 😊”
“Susan was so welcoming and I felt very comfortable leaving my Goldendoodle son with her! She has a wonderful, large back yard that my dog enjoyed! She sent me photos everyday and let me know how he was doing. I am 100% booking Susan for my dog the next time I am out of town!”
“Stephen was wonderful with our dog, Alex. Alex has Cushing's Disease and needs to drink lots of water and then go potty multiple times during the day. Stephen was very accepting of that and welcomed us warmly during the Meet and Greet, as well as drop off. We only needed someone for about 12 hours. Stephen treated Alex like a member of his family. They went on several walks together and Stephen sent multiple updates during the day.Alex loved staying with him and his family. We would absolutely recommend Stephen as a dog sitter and would definitely choose him again.”
“Indiana had a great time. He didn’t even seem that excited about seeing me so that tells me he was very comfortable with Elizabeth. We will definitely be booking with Elizabeth again.”
“Nathaniel was a phenomenal caregiver for my big boy, Brock! 🐾❤️ I had to book care for Brock very last minute, and Nathaniel was incredibly compassionate and accommodating to both Brock’s and my needs with such little notice. Brock had a wonderful time and was so graciously cared for. Nathaniel went above and beyond by sending me pictures and videos throughout Brock’s stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that my boy was doing great. I’d also like to highlight Nathaniel’s flexibility and his personal schedule, which worked out perfectly for caring for Brock. 10 out of 10! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you so much, Nathaniel, for taking such great care of my boy! 🐶❤️”

“My dog Molly became part of the family and had a wonderful time while I was on vacation. I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby with Jennifer and I will definitely be booking here when I travel again!”
“Laura is great with my dog Banksy. He arrives and leaves with a smile. I always know he is safe with her and he enjoys the freedom to play in her backyard and pal around with her dog. She is always very affectionate towards him. We love Laura!”
