1. Jacqui G.

“Jacqui was a God sent for me! My sitter never cancelled and never showed and I was out of the country. She took a last minute booking to go check on my little baby Benji boy.”


2. Tessa D.

“Always goes above and beyond to check up on the little things for both of my dogs!”


3. Ella N.
“I’ve known Ella Novakowski over 18 years. I wholeheartedly recommend Ella as a dog caregiver for Rover! She had always had a dog(s) for a pet. Her family raises Labrador retrievers. I’ve observed Ella feeding, cleaning crates, training and loving on the puppies to socialize them for their new homes. She loves our 3 Cairn terriers and enjoys taking them for walks. Ella also cares for her chickens and trained her dogs not to chase them. She also learned to ride on my horse and quickly became a confident rider and was able to safely load and unload my horse in the trailer and care for him. Ella has an excellent work ethic, she is a mature and responsible caregiver for dogs and other animals.”

“Amara was wonderful with my dog for a drop in! We have a very excitable 80lb dog and she was so great with her! She was communicative, professional, and I loved all the updates and photos of my pup from her visit! We will absolutely be using Amara again 🐾”

“This was the first time I had someone other than family care for my dogs and Taylor put my mind completely at ease! My dogs loved her! She sent tons of pictures and kept me updated. She was great!”


6. Kylie G.

“Kylie was wonderful with our dogs! They loved her and are happy to see her! I was nervous about leaving them for a week, especially with my older dog being on a demanding medicine, but as soon as I met her I was instantly reassured and far more comfortable! I cannot recommend her enough! We get pictures and updates as we ask for them and as an emotionally attached Fur Mom, that’s exactly what I need when I’m away from my babies. THANK YOU, KYLIE! ♥️”


7. Ian T.

“Ian is the best! Our girls loved him from first sight. We got great communication from him the entire time we were gone. The pictures he sent us captured their personalities which reinforced that we chose the best sitter for them! We were so happy to find Ian and will definitely be using him again. I highly recommend him!”

“Jessie is excellent with pets. I've entrusted her to care for my dog and visit my house to feed and care for my cats as well when I'm not able to. She always puts their needs and wants first and takes the necessary steps to ensure they get enough cuddle time and social interaction and goes above and beyond to put them first every time.”


10. Vada H.
“Vada has been our reliable dog sitter for many years. She is dependable, flexible, and loves our dogs. And our dogs love Vada.

I also find it very convenient that I can pay her via PayPal. So simple! Vada is the best!”

“Couldn’t be happier! She took such good care of my boys! I think they really would not have minded me being gone longer. Will definitely be asking her to sit for them again. She was great! Thank you so much!”


14. Johwen M.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine love for animals, personalized care for each pet, and reliable service. Your pets will feel at home with me! Most of my days end at around 4pm with nothing much left to do, so I’m searching for something to occupy that time, and I love animals so why not this! I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable environment tailored to their needs. I also follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owners to make sure their pets feel right at home.


15. Amanda C.
“Amanda has been an absolute blessing for both me and my furry friend! Her genuine love for dogs shines through in every walk. My dog, Clover, looks forward to their outings with Amanda every day. Her reliability and professionalism have given me peace of mind, knowing my pet is in caring hands. I couldn't ask for a better dog walker! Thank you, Amanda, for making Clover so happy and giving me the freedom to focus on my daily tasks with confidence.”

I currently work from home which allows me to have flexible availability for drop in visits. Willing to take on a couple dogs for in home care. This is my first time doing Rover. However I care in home for my mother-in-laws dogs often. We have a great fenced in back yard with plenty of space to roam. I work from home so I am able to keep an eye on pets and let them out often. We do have a small dog who is very friendly with other pets, and a cat who is also friendly with other pets but often lounges in our laundry room.

About: Hi! My name is Carrie. I am a sophomore attending Taylor University. I have had dogs, fish, chickens, and lizards over the course of my life. I have taken care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I hope you will entrust your furry friends to my care! As I am a college student, I would be able to care for your pet anytime on Thursdays and late afternoon and evenings every other day as I am attending class during the day. Your pet will be my top priority when in my care! Animals will be fed, walked, let out, or whatever you need! Your pet will be safe.


20. Chloe B.
About: I’ve had pets pretty much all my life. They each become a part of me and stay in my heart forever. I’ve had cats, dogs, fish, birds, and I have cared for them along with bunnies and snakes when I worked at the shelter. I love my pets dearly and will treat your pets with as much love. I currently have more open availability in the mornings so I would be able to check in on your pets for you while you run your errands or you’re at work. Give them the love and attention that you want to give them, but unfortunately aren’t able to. I wake up in the mornings and give my babies food and fresh water. Give them attention once they wake up a little bit. I check their bowls periodically when I’m home and change the water at night and give them a little more food before bed. Along with nighttime cuddles because house are important. I wake up in the morning and take care of my cats first thing. Get them food. I wash their water bowl out and get them fresh water. I give them attention after they wake up a little bit more. I pay attention to their body signs and try to give them what they need. I love and care for my pets and I will do the same for yours.
