“I’m so glad that I found Amy on Rover. She is very reliable and responsive and the perfect person to help out with my puppy when I have to be gone during the day. Very friendly and great with pets ❤️ We will continue to hire her to take care of Bowie 🐶”
“We have had Michelle take care of our cats several times now, and she has done a great job every time. Our cats really seem to like her! She is very communicative and sends lots of great photos, and she really took the stress out of leaving our babies for an extended period of time. She was even kind enough to water our plants! Highly recommend Michelle”
About: My name is Carley and I have spent time around animals since early childhood. My most recent pup and best bud, Diego, who we had for about three years, recently passed away. He was 11 when we adopted him, so I have a lot of experience caring for senior pets. I have also watched hundreds of pets through Rover and Wag! I look forward to walking, playing and cuddling with any dog who needs love and attention. I will make sure that your animals have a comfortable and fun-filled time while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I mostly work from home, so I have a fairly flexible schedule, and my partner (who previously worked at a vet clinic) is home almost full time. I like to meet pets where they are. If your dog loves walk and outdoor time, I enjoy taking them to nearby parks. If they prefer cuddles at home, I love that too!
“Kate was amazing! She did everything I asked her to do with the cats, left great notes, and kept me up to date with any issues. I felt very safe leaving my two kitties with her!”
“Jamie was so great! Lovely to work with, took lots of photos and provided a great update! Would highly recommend Jamie. We only had her come for one visit, but will surely be reaching out to her in the future!”
“Andrew was great! I came home to two very happy fur babies. He went above and beyond when caring for them. I would definitely use him again when my family travels!!”
“Daniel was great with my dog Pepper. He did a meet and greet with her prior to my trip to ensure they started out as fast friends. Pepper enjoyed her time with Daniel as easily scene in the many photos he provided. I had no concerns with him dropping in on Pepper my home and I appreciated his short-notice availability and flexibility. I hope to use Daniel again very soon.”
About: I have a senior small dog and have had cats & dogs my whole life! As a senior dog mama, I understand the patience and extra care needed by these and all pets and will take extra care to give your animals love and attention. I am also experienced at getting my dog to take his pills two times a day. I work from home so I am pretty flexible when it comes to times I can drop in or take your dog for a walk. I am patient and loving when it comes to animals and am especially understanding about the needs of older pets. I would welcome detailed instructions and follow client’s lead when it comes to care for their pets.
About: Until recently, I had a 55lb Beagle-Bully mix of my own and used Rover for her when needed (grateful for some wonderful sitters who were very accommodating to her idiosyncrasies). I grew up with dogs, horses and cats. My mother is a bit of a "whisperer" and taught me how to "understand what's in their head", anticipate reactions, understand context of behavior and gain trust (comes in handy for both people and pets!). I have experience with separation anxiety, dominant behaviors and with administering medication. I love the words, "I aspire to be the person my dog thinks I am." We should all be so lucky as to have the love of a dog. I am also very cognizant that "we are their whole world" when a dog lives in the city (I grew up in a rural area where dogs spend more time outside roaming). Let me know if there are any behaviors I should be watching for and mitigating, as well as any commands, etc that your pooch is used to. I work a "typical" 8-5 work week with flexibility to be home for part of the week or part of the day, especially with a little notice to adjust meetings/schedules. I would also love to check in, brush, snuggle, play with and/or walk your fur baby evenings and weekends. Always a delight to meet a new personality! I work a full time weekday job with flexibility to be home part of the week or part of the day. I can adapt quite a bit to accommodate a stay when I have a little notice. If I go into work, it's usually late morning or midday (aka half day). If boarding, pets are welcome on furniture and in the bed at my home. I have a couple squeaker toys, a little sleeping pad on the floor if needed, doggie bags, and some water/food dishes. I don't have a yard but live near the lake with lots of great walking /running for dogs that desire the activity (I walk several miles/week). If needed, I have personal experience with the patience and empathy needed with a reactive/anxious dog so just let me know what you know and I can carry on while you away, adapting as needed.
“Anaiah saved the day. Literally. I was experiencing some issues after a major surgery and the Rover person I had scheduled didn't show up so I was desperate. Anaiah was here in twenty minutes to take them out and then came back a little later to take them for a walk. I'm sooooo impressed!”
“This was our first experience with Andy and I am very pleased! She was very communicative and very patient with my shy cat. Everything looked as it should when I got home and I can’t ask for more!! I hope she will be willing to do cat-sit visits w/Tess in the future.”
About: I've been a pet owner for as long as I can remember, somewhere around 3 years old. While I'm just now going pro, I've often been the one friends and family trust to take care of their animals when needed. I've been through almost every scenario with pets, from the amazing to the emergent. Your pets are safe in my care and they'll be glad they met me. I work for myself, so I'm generally really flexible schedule wise. If I schedule a service with you I will be there, guaranteed. I'm punctual and work hard. I have experience walking dogs of all ages and needs, and can supply medication if necessary. While I can't bring any animals into my home, I'll make sure that yours is respected and treat it like my own.
About: I grew up with multiple dogs from golden retrievers to hound/lab mixes, so I have experience with different dog personalities and energy levels. In the past few years, I’ve gotten more experience pet sitting for friends including both dogs and cats and have really enjoyed it. I’m on summer break from medical school, so my schedule is fairly flexible which means I am able to cater to a variety of schedules that work best for your pet. My goal is for your pets to feel comfortable while you are away. I’m attentive to details and instructions you provide for any specific needs your pet has.
“Annalise was wonderful with my two furbabies. This was the first time that I have left them for more than three days, and after moving three months ago. She was so patient when the security process at my building was not perfect, and was so communicative throughout the week I was away. I will definitely ask her yo look after Roux and Beignet again!”
“Reyhan was wonderfully and I highly recommend! My cat seemed to have a good time while I was away and was constantly cuddled up with Reyhan during visits. Communication was stellar, and Reyhan was very accommodating when my trip was unexpectedly lengthened. Overall, Reyhan was a kind, responsible, and communicative sitter and I will definitely book again.”

Tracey B.
“Tracey was raised in a family of animal lovers and she goes to great lengths to accommodate the needs of her own rescued dog, Pucca. Tracey learned the responsibility of caring for a variety of animals as a young child and she will forever be a kind and caring advocate for animals. Tracey is from a family that could not function without the love of animals in our lives. Tracey's first rescued dog was when Tracey was about 8. There was a stray dog that needed help but would not approach when I tried to help. Tracey later asked if she could bring the dog home and I advised her, "I don't think we can get him to come in the pickup". Tracey informed me, "I already have him in the pickup". Needles to say "Bud" became Tracey's dog and he grew into a beautiful white German Shepard with a little love and care. So yes, I think your dogs will be in good hands with Tracey looking after them.

“Darwin's incredibly passionate about taking care of pets and making sure they're happy and healthy. They're dedicated and courteous and very thorough with their care.”
Megan M.
“We've had many dog sitters for our dog, Eleanor, but Megan has without a doubt been the best. Eleanor is a rather shy dog with quite a few (lovable) quirks and Megan handles her exceptionally well. Megan consistently entertains her, gives frequent updates, and we've never had any issues on her watch. Megan truly cares for animals and is extremely attentive to their wellbeing. I can confidently say she'd be an excellent pet sitter for Rover.”

West Calhoun pet parents share their Rover experiences
Meri was absolutely amazing. Went above and beyond in every aspect of care for our kitties. She took excellent care of our cats and our house, her communication was amazing, and it was obvious that she really cared about our girls. We are super happy and will definitely be booking with Meri again!
Angela was a wonderful sitter for our two gals, and I would not hesitant to ask for her help again. She is very dependable. I was especially amazed by how quickly she understood our cats’ personalities after just the first visit - she clearly is very in tune with kitties and takes great care of them! :)
Olga and Natalia were exactly what we were hoping for--and Duffy took to them right away, laying next to Natalia and playing "tug-of-war" with his toy. They will be house-sitting for us when we go on vacation later this month and we feel very comfortable with having them watching Duffy.
