“Jerica is great! We found her on Rover 3 weeks before our 8-day trip when our regular dog sitter would not be available. I was nervous leaving Archie with a new sitter at first, but she took great care of Archie. Jerica works from home. She has a yard and an adorable corgi so our beagle had someone to play with. Jerica took Archie on walks with her corgi and let Archie snuggle with her at night. It worked out great. She kept us updated every day and sent us lots of photos. We would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Ana was absolutely amazing. As someone who misses their pup while traveling, Ana was a dream sitter. Always sharing quick check-ins with photos so I knew my pup was doing just fine. She even took the time to read my dogs profile and understand her little quirks. When I had travel delays she was super communicative, and flexible. From meet & greet to pickup, I had a great experience with Ana, and would definitely recommend.”
“Trooper just spent 12 days with Ponyo and her family and had a great time! He got so much love and attention. She sent lots of photos. She was very careful to try to keep to our family's rules for him. I would definitely recommend her and plan to use her again!”
“She was lovely and flexible! My dog had never been boarded before and it went beautifully. Then, when my flight got canceled she was willing to extend his stay.”
“Devan was great! Checked in with us regularly to let us know how Blaze was doing and settling in. I could tell that Blaze was well cared for and had a great time with Devan and his partner! Will definitely use him again!”
“Isabella and Gui were the best hosts! Bobo truly had his own vacation in form of dog parks and couch snuggles. Your pup would be lucky to be cared by them!”
“Leslie was great taking care of our 5-month-old puppy Piper for a three-day weekend! Leslie was totally unfazed by our puppy's big energy, and gave her lots of attention. We also appreciated she was flexible about drop-off/pick-up time. Piper came back to us happy and tired from all the fun she had. We'd definitely book with Leslie again in the future!”
“What a great sitter! Ruby had a fun time with Hing's two beautiful pups. Communication and flexibility were great and super helpful. The neighborhood is beautiful and great for dogs. Would definitely use again.”
“Emily was an incredible dog sitter for Cannoli! She was attentive, caring, and treated Cannoli as if he was her own. And I’m sure he enjoyed the chance to run around with all the space he had! Highly recommend Emily for anyone in need of a sitter!”
“Our miniature Australian Shepherd pixel always has a wonderful time when he stays with Catherine. She is a great communicator and does a fantastic job ensuring that he gets plenty of activity and interaction. Thank you!!”
“Emily was excellent with our dog and great to work with. Her excellent communication skills made us feel at ease throughout her time with her. She appeared knowledgeable and genuinely wanted to ensure her comfort at all times. As a senior dog, her presence was reassuring, and it gave us peace of mind knowing that she was in capable hands. I highly recommend Emily and would definitely book her again for future stays. .”
“Sharon and Akira very kindly helped us out last minute! They were extremely communicative and friendly, and sent lots of pictures. Yucca did great with them—got lots of walks! Highly recommend :)”
“We love Anne! Our little guy, Milo, has special needs. She is so careful, patient, and loving toward him. We felt he was so safe and loved in her care. The frequent photos and videos are lovely too. Thank you!! ❤️”
“Kandice provided such wonderful care for our 7-month old puppy, Wilson, during a recent vacation. I wasn't sure who more excited for our vacation-- our kids, or Wilson as we approached "Kamp Kandice" (as my sons have named her). We received frequent pictures and videos of Wilson on several walks and adventures with his canine friends. Nothing makes your vacation more easy than knowing that your canine family member is in good hands. Thanks again, Kandice!”
“Our Mini Schnauzer Carl had a wonderful time again with Jessica and Mochi. We receive multiple updates and photos per day. Carl got lots of walks and play time. Timeliness and detail of communication is always perfect. Thanks so much!”

“Clara was amazing to work with! She came over before the visit date to meet Chloe and make sure she was comfortable with her routine. I received photos and updates through Rover and knew my baby girl was being well taken care of while I was gone. I can tell Chloe really liked her!”
“Morgan is great, as always! She is a reliable communicator before and during her visits. I also appreciate her patience to my somewhat aloof cat. Morgan always goes above and beyond, treating my home as if it were her own. I’m happy I’ve found my go-to sitter!”
“Noele was very timely, attentive, and caring to my shy cat Bubba. She was respectful of his boundaries and kept him well looked after while I was away. She even cleaned up when he had an accident outside of the box. Bubba easily readjusted to me being back, which indicates he wasn’t too stressed while I was away—thanks to Noele! Would definitely book again.”
“Highly recommend Aubrey! Our original sitter cancelled right before an 11-day trip over the 4th of July weekend split between California and an international destination, leaving us scrambling. It was our first time using Rover, and while it can be be stressful trusting a total stranger with your home and beloved pet on such short notice during a major holiday, but Aubrey completely earned our trust from day one. She was incredibly consistent and reliable, showing up at the times we agreed upon. She visited our cat, Dash, twice a day and handled his daily medication. Excellent communication-every single visit included detailed updates on Dash's mood, food, water, litter, alongside wonderful photo updates. We were able to enjoy our vacation across different time zones knowing Dash and our home were in such capable and loving hands. Aubrey is now officially part of our trusted cat family friends! Five Stars!”
“Great attitude of friendliness and helpfulness. Easy to talk to and a real cat friend. My Laza was grumpy but Katelyn was very patient with him and so he came around which is a big deal for us. Thank you!”
“Zephyr was great at watching my cat Crickey for a few days! He was super great about meeting before the check ins to make sure he got to know her and updating me throughout the visits with detailed comments and photos. Would definitely book again!”
“Sarah took wonderful care of my cat Toad while I was away for a week. She was super communicative, sent regular updates, and shared plenty of photos. My cat requires a little bit of extra care (medications and monitoring her health) and I felt comfortable that Sarah had everything handled! She even took care of my plants, and I came home to a tidy apartment and a happy cat :)”
“Mei was very quick to respond and excellent at communicating. She followed directions very well and asked about anything she needed clarification on. She left very detailed notes and sent great pictures. Would highly suggest to anyone! Thank you, Mei!”
“Carly was amazing! Very flexible as I had to schedule the visits last minute. Excellent communication and she took lots of photos of my two boys! My one cat is very skittish and tends to hide around new people but he came out for her and let her give him pets! They clearly liked and trusted her. Very grateful to know they were taken such good care of while I was away. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Molly was an amazing cat sitter yet again, always love getting the photos and updates and know my cat is getting lots of sweet attention when she’s caring for her!”
“Jen is a super responsible sitter! I’m so glad that I chose her to take care of Jasper while I was away. She kept me posted will all his updates and shared wonderful pictures. (Now one of her pictures is on my phone wallpaper haha) Thank you so much Jen ?”
“Kevin was great with Toby! And Kevin was able to take my booking at the last minute--it really helped. He also take amazing pictures. I will be booking Kevin again for visits with my little guy.”
“I can not recommend Phakamat enough! I needed a sitter VERY last minute (I messaged Phakamat just hours before my flight) and she was extremely helpful and receptive about doing a key drop off and instructions via text without having met my kitties before. She sent a detailed remote at each visit, including over 20 photos a day, which put my anxiety at ease. She handled everything without needing much help from me which was a relief since I had limited service during my travel. I would definitely trust her if there were an emergency to occur while I was away from my kitties. She was a huge relief and the kitties already miss her!”
“Rose was wonderful! Very easy to schedule with, great communication and pictures, and took such good care of our cats (even one who is iffy about almost all people). Also took extra care to make sure the cats were cleaned up after and our home was clean when we returned. I would absolutely have Rose come care for my cats again!”
“Roman did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Lily! They made sure she was well-fed, played with her every day, and kept her litter box clean. It was clear Lily was comfortable and happy in their care. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend Roman to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter!”

“Erica was incredible with my higher need, anxious golden! She was very understanding of her food allergies and patient when she had separation anxiety! She sent multiple updates & kept me informed throughout the stay. Will be staying with her again!”
About: I grew up with pets, from large to small. My sibling and friends always rely on me fostering their dogs and cats. I work from home and won’t leave your pets alone. My husband and I work full time from home, so your pets will always be attended to. They will pretty much hang out with us while we go about our day. My husband starts walking all of the dogs at around 8am. I will open my fenced yard at midday for a midday pee break. My husband will come back at around 6:30pm to give all of the dogs another walk. We usually feed the dogs their morning and evening meals after they come back from their walks. We will open the yard again before bed for a late night pee break.
“Nahiely took great care of my dog Piper while I was out for the day. She was very communicative and flexible when my pickup time was later than expected. I would book her again!”
“Mandy did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Arlo. She was communicative and kind, and it was clear that he was very comfortable with her. She gave him ample exercise and was attentive to his dietary and behavior quirks. Highly recommend!”
“Needed a sitter for an afternoon for my curmudgeonly senior pup. Devan was fantastic- warm, welcoming, responsive, and responsible. Fang had a good time, and we will definitely request Devan’s pup-sitting services again!”
“Great experience with this Rover sitter! Communication was easy, and they kept me updated with throughout the stay. Moxie felt right at home with Judy and came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’m definitely booking with her again and highly recommend!”
About: We're young professionals living in Cap Hill with several years of dog-care experience. We started sitting through Rover 3 years ago and have since added our own dog to the mix! Oliver is a 2-year-old mini poodle who we rescued just over a year ago. PLEASE NOTE: To make sure your pup has a comfortable stay, we require a meet-and-greet playdate prior to booking. We want to make sure that we are a good fit for your dog's needs! While we love all our furry friends, due to allergies in our family we are only able to take low-shedding, hypoallergenic dogs right now. One of us works from home, so your pup will get attention and care throughout the day. We like to start and end our days with a long walk in Volunteer Park. Oliver's other favorite activities include sleeping on the couch next to me while I work or perched on the back of couch, where he can look out the window and get a great view of all the neighborhood happenings. Your pup would be cordially invited to do the same! We use positive reinforcement training with Oliver and bring treats on all our walks to reward good behavior. If there are specific behaviors you want us to upkeep during your pup's stay, please don't hesitate to let us know. We know what a bummer it can be to have to retrain behaviors after just a few days away! We can't wait to meet your pup and make them feel at home during their stay! One of us works from home full-time and will be around for all your dog's needs. We typically start and end our day with a walk in Volunteer Park. Oliver will be happy to show your pup all his favorite spots to sniff! We take great care to make sure that all your pup's needs are met! Feel free to provide any specific instructions on the best ways to care for your pet (e.g., preferred schedule, training you'd like us to upkeep). We know how it can feel to entrust the care of your dog to someone else and want to make sure that they feel at home during their stay with us.
“Ozzy and I really like Zhongni! She is very thoughtful, caring and really paid a lot of attention to his needs. I know she took excellent care of Ozzy while I was at work and felt very comfortable dropping him off with her. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I highly recommend her as a sitter and will use her again for boarding!”
“Julianna was great and took wonderful care of Dory. As any city is a difficult place to be a tourist with a dog in tow, it was a treat for us to spend a day exploring the city on our own knowing that Dory was well cared for. I would highly recommend Juliana. Note: Because Julianna lives in a downtown secure apartment I wish I had gotten more details about how to get in and contact her to let her know we were there. No problem in the long run.”
“My dog Frankie is absolutely obsessed with Mariia and Viktor. They take amazing care of her and are fantastic at communication with me. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Davis took amazing care of Flex for 4 days and did such an incredible job! He went above and beyond by sending us pictures of Flex, taking him to the dog park multiple times, walking him, and making sure he was well taken care of the entire time. He followed everything I asked and even taught Flex new tricks! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Flex was in such great hands. We are so thankful for all the care, attention, and love he gave Flex. I highly recommend Davis to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and amazing to care for their”

“Thư was great with our dog, kept him engaged and entertained and kept me updated with photos and videos. The dog was very quickly comfortable with her and was sad to see her walk away when I picked him up. A really good sign that he enjoyed his stay. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Tiffany is so amazing! When I was in a time bind, she was able to accommodate for my my pup Henny last minute and truly provided the best care for Henny the day of. From play, to walks, to water breaks, she was diligent about providing updates to me throughout the day. This is the first time I’ve used Rover and it was such a positive experience through Tiffany, I would not hesitate to book again with her. My pup for sure loves her and cannot wait til the next time he gets to visit. Thank you Tiffany!”
“Amazing rover! Communication, flexibility, and punctual. My dog is usually shy and warmed up immediately. I felt my dog was safe and in good hands. I recommend and will use again thank you!”
“Jasmine took extremely good care of Loki, especially since he’s on special meds at the moment! Loki came back too me super pooped out from all the fun he had. 100% would book Jasmine again :)”

He developed a hot spot right before we left town, and she helped take care of that, taking his cone off for walks and then putting it back on again when they got back to the house. We couldn't recommend Jen more highly!”

“Tunan was incredibly patient with my dog, even when he was a bit difficult during the meet and greet. She took the time to really understand him and was kind enough to give him another chance with a follow-up visit. Her communication was clear and consistent, she was always punctual, and most importantly, she treated my dog with such kindness and gentleness. I truly appreciate her dedication and would highly recommend Tunan to anyone looking for a thoughtful and compassionate sitter!”

About: I was raised in a house filled with rescue animals, and have loved all kinds of creatures since I was young.
