“Michele was great! Took good care of my baby, and was always quick to reply to messages. :) I'd recommend her to others and will likely book with her again in the future!”
“I am terrible at remembering to leave reviews, otherwise she would have 100+ from just us. Samantha has been checking in/playing with our pup daily for almost a year now. Her daily report cards are descriptive, thoughtful, and really tells you how our pup was during her visit. Our doodle loves her to pieces and the pictures tell us that!”
“Always a relief to know Laura will be checking in on our cat each day we are out of town!! She does such a great job each time and our cat loves her!! We lover her too!!”
“Beth was incredibly gentle with my cats, played with them and even cleaned up after them while I was away. I would definitely hire her again in the future.”
“Shelby did a great job with the weekly visits for my pup. She is super flexible and very good with communication, always responding very quickly! My shy dog warmed up to her right away, which is rare for my girl. Definitely would love for Shelby to take care of my pup in the future :)”
“Dina was absolutely amazing. We will definitely be using her again for future trip.”
“Erin has taken care of our kitty, Maxine, several times and we have always been very happy with her service. Arrives as scheduled and feeds Maxine, as well as cleans the liter box. Pictures always provide assurance. We highly recommend Erin!”
About: I know how scary it feels entrusting a stranger with your pet! I want you to know that I take any time with your pets seriously and I will love them as much as you. (And I will send you as many photo updates as you wish!) More about me: I just left my corporate job and I want to spend my new found free time helping you out with your pets! I have always been around animals and I love the special connections I make with them. My husband and I just moved here from Florida (he’s in the Air Force) and I’d love to fill up my free time by helping you out by caring your animals! I just left my full time job and that gives me all the availability in the world! I can take care of your pets whenever you need! I do have a cat, but she is very chill and loves to play with other pets! There are dog parks around where I live that I would love to take your pup to!
“Gabby did an awesome job taking care of my fur babies. She checked up with me and took plenty of pictures. Highly recommend her. I will definitely contact her for future visits.”
“Christina has done drop in visits to take care of our cat for several of our vacations. She always does a great job and we are so glad to have found her!”
“Cody was responsive and reliable! He was able to swing by and let my dogs out during my long days at work and school. I will be booking him again for future visits ?”
About: *We’ve relocated to the Surprise area* I grew up out in the country with dogs and cats. I miss having the dogs around for my kids so we are opening our doors to gain that loving experience for them. Our family has really enjoyed taking care of so many different types of dogs through Rover. I’m patient and live an active life style so your pets will get love and attention. My job allows for lots of freedom. Very trustworthy and love to help. Our new yard still has grass which I know is not super common in this area. We live in a convenient location near Bell Rd on a quiet street. Give us a shot to help you out. My wife and I have alternating schedules so someone is home almost all the time which works out great for giving dogs lots of attention. We are able to follow all owner’s instructions plus keep the owner informed through pictures and updates. We do allow dogs onto our couch but not our bed.
“Mackenzie came over to our home to check on our kitties when I was out of town. She sent us pics of the cats, checked their food & water and even cleaned out their litter box. I highly recommend Mackenzie to all of my feiends and will always call on her every time I go out of town.”
About: I have been taking care of pets my entire life. I have raised several stray dogs and cats and have also had several litters of dogs that I ended up keeping! I have adopted pets on numerous occasions and welcome all their different personalities. I work full time, Monday-Friday, however my schedule allows me to be very flexible. I am generally always free on the weekends. I am flexible. I have three dogs who are all rescues at my home, so I will unfortunately only be able to visit your pets at your home.
“Mashayla was great with Maggie!”
About: 5 years experience working with animals and dog sitting. I love animals and have a special way with them. My goal is to become a veterinarian one day and save life’s :) I am currently an at home student and work online so I am always at home and will always be attentive to your pets needs :) also lots of love of course <3 I have a fenced yard with lots of room for your dog to run around and play. I do have 3 cats but that shouldn’t be a problem because they are ok with dogs and just tend to ignore them if anything. your puppy will never sleep outside always on a comfy bed next to me or in a kennel if needed (only if you provide a kennel or crate) I am currently an online student, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups/kitties, when I housesit I stay most of the day so your babies won’t be lonely :) I have three cats, each have their own water fountain and an automatic feeder, they are very very spoiled and have lots and lots of toys :)
“What can I say other than Kelsey was amazing!!! She took the time before hand to get to know my needs and wants for my cat when it came to feeding, treats, play time, brushing and cleaning up! Was very respectful of any strict schedules I had for feeding before bed and cleaning up was met. She sent daily pictures and updates via app and let me call FaceTime to check in on my big boy! I had not a single worry while being away from home due to work that something might happen that Kelsey couldn’t take care of or wouldn’t get in touch with me right away. So happy I found someone that is very caring and kind to my cat especially this being my first time having a pet and needing to be away! Please book this lovely woman so you can be worry free too🙌🏻”
About: I have been pet sitting dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, and farm animals since I started high school. I’m currently in college and a pre veterinary student! I own two dogs, a sulcata tortoise, a leopard gecko, a mouse, and a horse. I work for Animal Ambassadors at Estrella Mountain Community College, an educational outreach program and lab with reptiles and arthropods. I have owned and done pet sitting for many different breeds and ages of both dogs and cats. I also volunteered with a mobile equine vet for over 8 months, and have been working with/riding horses my whole life. Starting August 25 I will have class Monday through Thursday. Mondays and Wednesdays I don’t have class until 5pm. Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be in class all day, but if needed I can be available after 4pm. Weekends I am almost always available. Many of my pet sitting jobs have been jobs that require me to go twice daily, which I can accommodate for. I always treat animals I am caring for as my own. I do not just drop in to care for their basic physical needs, but find fulfillment in making them happy and getting to know them! I love learning about a new pet, their personality, and how I can do my best job at keeping them happy and healthy. I do not offer pet sitting in my own house, because I have my own reactive dogs and animals, and I do not want to have any incidents or discomfort for both your pets and my own.
“Carol was absolutely amazing! This was our first time using Rover and we were leaving the state for 8 days. Carol took pictures during every visit and always responded to messages. She is hands down our go-to Rover from now on!”
About: I am an animal sheltering executive with over 25 years of experience with animal care and handling. I run two successful animal sheltering consulting firms and work from home so I am here 24/7 to take care of your pets. (I have two dogs that are both very social and friendly, as well as a rabbit who has his own secure cage and environment). I grew up with dogs in my house and have had dogs, cats and rabbits, so I consider my level of knowledge, care and handling to be very high. I work from home so I am here 24/7. Pets get to go outside quite regularly and my yard has a small natural grass area, as well as a patio. There is a pool and I do allow my dogs to go (supervised of course). I am also available to do home visits or check-ins on your pet throughout the day. There really is no limitation on the times I can visit. Every pet and each situation is different so I adjust to what is needed for your pet. If your pet requires walks and interaction, that's what I will do. If your pet is low-key and just needs someone to come in and refresh food and water and talk to him/her, that's what I'll do. I can take of pets in my home, or your home - your preference based on schedule and cost. I'll work with you.

Excellent and caring service. I would highly recommend! Sent me daily pictures of my cats, to reassure me.
I would like to thank Krysten W so very much. As always, she is so wonderful with my cat Wolfy. He adores Krysten, and looks forward to her visits. I never have to worry about leaving, because I know Wolfy is in loving, caring, and professional hands. I highly recommend Krysten, and look forward to future visits from her. Wolfy does as well! A++++++++++++++++++++
Kaylan is extremely reliable and our animals love her. She communicated right away when our stubborn older dogs didn’t want to go outdoors in this summer heat! We had a great trip knowing the animals were well cared for.
Kim is an excellent cat sitter, we've used her multiple times. She communicates very well and provides lots of pics. Highly recommend Kim for your pet sitting needs.
Haley has come and checked on my furries a couple times now and she’s been nothing but pleasant!! THANK YOU HALEY!!!
Gabby was terrific with my senior cat, Gus. He does not warm up to people easily, but he responded well to Gabby. He let her pet him the very first time they met. Then it was obvious to me from the pictures she sent that Gus was very comfortable with Gabby. He let her brush him, and he even played with his toys which showed me that he was totally content in her presence. Judging from my cat’s reaction, Gabby has a true heart for animals and a wonder way with them.
Haley was amazing and made us feel much better about leaving our pets! She sent pictures and gave us a great update each day. Super nice and will use her again!
Ariana took good care of my baby while I was away. She sent photos and updates often and went above and beyond with helping bring in packages and getting the mail for me. I would recommend her to others!
Jamie is an absolute pleasure to work with; she goes above and beyond and I could not be more grateful!
Mackenzie came over to our home to check on our kitties when I was out of town. She sent us pics of the cats, checked their food & water and even cleaned out their litter box. I highly recommend Mackenzie to all of my feiends and will always call on her every time I go out of town.
