“Lila was great checking in on our doggies! She was easy to communicate with, available with just a few days notice, and went with the flow when we had a TON going on. :) I loved her communication and detailed write-ups with plenty of pictures from each drop in. I’d recommend Lila and rebook her in a heartbeat! Thanks for loving our doggies, Lila!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life of all sizes. I grew up with a great pyranees/ border collie and have a dog of my own who is a dachshund. I dog sat for my neighbor, friends, and relatives frequently. I also have experience in sitting for cats as well. I can also help your dog learn new tricks! I taught my dog how to sit, stay, lay down, paw, roll over, follow, and wait all within 6 months. I am currently a part-time employee and have a dog of my own, so I have plenty of time and experience in pet care to give your furbaby the care they deserve! I’m flexible to what they need. Whatever needs you have for your furbaby I can meet! My dog is very particular, so I am patient, willing and understanding to what your pet needs.
“My first experience with Rover and I could not have chosen a better pet sitter! My cat is normally very shy around unfamiliar people- she took to Chynna instantly. The pictures of Luna instantly put me at ease. I will definitely rebook with her next time!!”
“Holland did a wonderful job of looking after my cat, Lucy. She was always on time, took plenty of pictures/videos, and was even able to give her eye drops. I knew that Lucy was in good hands, and appreciated her thoughtfulness. Will definitely rebook again!”
“Jeff provided multiple days of feeding, cuddle time, walks and loving attention for our dog. The photos he sent helped us feel at ease knowing our boy was safe and happy. We appreciated his responsibility and updates!”
“Linsey was super communicative and gave lots of attention to our two kitties over the Thanksgiving holiday. She kept an eye on things for us and kept us informed about the pets. We would highly recommend and will plan to utilize her services again in the future!”
“Danyelle is AMAZING!!! Took such great care of my boys over a holiday. Gave me daily updates and even put up with some of their eating "quirks", which isn't always easy. But she was super patient with them and gave them all the love they needed while I was gone. I was so super happy and relaxed to know they were in such great and caring hands. Heck, even just the trek to my trash can for litter box cleaning was an extra effort in and it's self. Can't recommend Danyelle enough!”
“Ashely was so great! She helped me out last minute, and took amazing care of my dog. She sent pictures during every check in, and I felt super comfortable being away and leaving Ruby in her care!”
“Maggie is so kind and wonderful with my two cats. She’s so thoughtful and detail oriented and I really appreciated her help while we were away. Maggie is a great rover!”
“Elijah always does a fantastic job. When I used him this past weekend, he truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND. He not only took great care of my cat but also discovered a major issue going on with my house (long story), called me about it to talk through the issue and then stayed put until he'd resolved it. If not for all he did, I'd have had to come home and deal ith the issue myself - it was urgent. PLUS (most importantly) he made sure my beloved cat was OK because he'd been affected by the house problem (again, long story). Thank you again, Elijah!!”
“Kallie was a great sitter. She was able to connect quickly with me when I had to go out of town last minute. Ragnar was well taken care of. Would recommend her to folks looking for a pet sitter and would use her again.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 4 years and have a huge heart when it comes to animals! I’m here to put your mind at ease while you’re away from your pet. I’m a teacher, so my summers are free to help you out with your pups! I am happy to check in, walk, or play with your pet when needed. I can assure you that your pet will be in safe hands while at my apartment. I will make sure they are fed appropriately, taken out, and walked multiple times.
About: Hi there! I’m Julia. From a young age, I’ve cared for many dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience housebreaking and training puppies in basic commands like sit, stay, and roll-over, as well as caring for senior dogs up to age 14. I understand the patience and care pets of all ages need and always make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I am a full-time college student taking several classes online so I am often home and your pet is never alone for too long. : ) Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always start by discussing expectations and routines. Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to fit their lifestyle. I focus on keeping pets both comfortable and active through walks or playtime.
“I booked Lindsay super last minute and she took amazing care of our dog. She let me know everything that was going on with our dog and provided photography-style pictures of her. I will definitely be booking her again and again.”
“Katie is wonderful! I loved getting an update and picture of Henry when she visited him. It’s so nice having a reliable petsitter. I will definitely ask Katie to take care of my boy again!”

“John(Jack) has been awesome to our pup, Pickle. We work out of town a few days a week and he is always prompt and knows how to keep Pickle happy and worn out! Pickle’s mood has improved drastically since he’s been doing his checkins with her. Cannot recommend him enough!”
Virginia Union pet parents share their Rover experiences
Abby is a top-tier petsitter! She watched Coconut while I was away, and from the moment I left, I had complete peace of mind. She was incredibly conscientious and thorough — you can tell she genuinely cares about the animals in her care. Her consistent and detailed communication with each visit eased my mind. Without fail, she checked in twice a day with photos and detailed recaps of each visit. Seeing Coconut happy and well cared for made my time away so much more enjoyable. She went above and beyond in every way. I will absolutely be hiring Abby again and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving petsitter. Coconut was happy and lucky to have her! 🐱
Jeff was on time, consistent, generous with his time & care of my dogs, friendly, & a great communicator. When one of my dogs struggled to relax around him, he was patient, & took the time to help her get comfortable, & stuck with it until she adjusted. Thank you!
We asked Grace to check in on our crazy orange cat a few times while we were out of town pretty last-minute, and she exceeded all expectations! She sent lots of pictures and gave great summaries each time she visited. Our cat hates to be alone for too long, and it was such a relief to know that Grace was giving her some much-needed love and attention! We'd definitely use Grace's services again in the future.
Harlee is great with communication and took cute photos of matcha which helped me with missing her while I was away! She did everything I listed out for my pet’s profile, and Matcha loved her and was herself! I will be asking her again to watch my cat in the future!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Theresa. A friend recommended her to me, and she watched my cat over a long weekend. Right from the initial meet-and-greet, I knew she was the perfect fit, she immediately got down on the floor to meet my cat on her level, which meant so much. While we were gone, her attention to cleanliness and detail was great. She cleaned the water bowls and soft food dishes daily and handled the litter box exactly as instructed. I absolutely loved the tons of photo updates she sent, you could see how safe and comfortable my cat felt around her. On top of everything, she was incredibly accommodating with a last-minute request. I am so grateful for her care and will definitely be booking her again!
