“Kyle was invaluable by looking after our reptiles on short notice that we were able to have peace of mind while abroad without having to board then. We definitely would recommend them and look forward to working with them again in the future.”

“Saemi came over a couple of times while I was out all day and made sure my two dogs were taken care of. They are completely opposite—one big and super excited, and one small and timid—and she was able to adapt to each of their needs at once. I have boarded with Saemi before and I know I can be away from my pets without worry when they are with her! Thanks Saemi!”

“Shelby took wonderful and thoughtful care of my cat! I came home to a happy kitty and clean litter box! Shelby was excellent and I’d be thrilled to have her again! My cat loves her!”


“I made sure to Book Dean a few months before my scheduled vacation because Dean is hands-down, without a doubt the best cat sitter. I’ve had many cat sitters in the past and they were all very kind and I felt that my cats were safe with them but it’s different with Dean. When we come home after a long vacation, my cats feel different if they have been watched by Dean. We can tell that they were not only safe and well fed, but they felt loved. Dean brings over handmade cat toys and special treats and engages with them the entire time. We can tell just by the photos how much our cats love Dean. I’m generally a nervous person when it comes to my cats because they are my babies and when we get Rover cards from any other Rover, I immediately have nerves thinking “what if something went wrong”. With Dean, my husband and I have general excitement when we get the Rover card. We are always so excited to see what they have been up to. It’s such a blessing when you know your pets are safe with someone but it’s beyond wonderful when you know they feel loved.”

About: I’ve loved cats and dogs my entire life, which shaped my love for caring for animals. Now, I have two cats of my own who mean the world to me. I’ve also become the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family, caring for their pets whenever they’re away—something I truly enjoy and take seriously. Through my experience, I’ve worked with all kinds of personalities—from shy and timid to feisty and playful to super friendly and affectionate. I’m very patient and attentive, especially with pets who need a little extra time to feel comfortable. I also have experience giving medication, so you can feel confident your pet will be in safe and capable hands. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s cuddling up for quiet affection or engaging in fun playtime to keep them happy and stimulated. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m able to be reliable with timing and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need. For house sitting, I can comfortably work from your home as long as there’s WiFi and a space to set up, which means I can spend more quality time with your pet rather than just stopping by. This also allows me to maintain their routine and provide a calm, consistent presence while you’re away. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority in my schedule to ensure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I adjust my care based on each pet and the service. In a client’s home, I stick to their normal routine—feeding, fresh water, litter box, playtime, and any medications if needed. I try to keep things consistent so pets stay comfortable. For drop-in visits, I make sure their basic needs are met and spend time with them based on their personality, whether that’s play or just keeping them company. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, calm space and follow all instructions closely. I also send updates so owners know how their pet is doing.
“My pup hasn’t really had an appetite but Sophia was able to get him to eat based all my detailed instructions. I really appreciate her help, she’s always ready and reliable.”

“Namie was lovely to work with and very communicative during her check-in with my 2 big girls! They felt comfortable with Namie right away, which was a huge relief as a first-time Rover user. She left us multiple pictures, and we would definitely book with her again!”


“Paul has an innate way with dogs. After meeting our dog, Paul quickly assessed his special needs and some easy tips for how to train him. We love Paul and would highly recommend him to others.”

“Mari is such a pleasant person to be around. She understood exactly what it takes to care for an older cat with health conditions like our Ziggy. I really appreciated the level of enthusiasm, attentiveness, and experience she brought, even with a long list of medications and feeding instructions. It’s clear that she genuinely cares deeply about both the animals and the people who love them.”

“Julien looked after my dog Dexter for about a week. This is the first time I have used Rover so I was a little hesitant but Julien was outstanding! Julien followed my requests perfectly and regularly communicated (with photos) regarding Dexter’s progress. I really felt Dexter was happy and well cared for with Julien. Moving forward Julien will be my “go to” for Dexter.”

“We've rebooked Priscilla, and couldn't be more thrilled to have done so... we know our two kitties were happy to see her in November and December! She's so good with them, especially with Reina who needs insulin shots twice daily. Her attention to details, compassionate nature towards them and consistent information about them are all reasons we will continue to book Priscilla in the future.”
About: I manage a puppy yoga company so I have tons of experience with young dogs. I have also been a dog sitter for adult and senior dogs for 10 years. I am CPR & First Aid certified for dogs & puppies! I am a professional dancer; auditioning and taking classes is my current schedule. I’m home for the good majority of every day and I love to go for long walks. I have no other pets; I live in a safe area and a building with many other dogs. My building has elevators, so there is easy access outside!
“We are so glad we found Amber to care for our 85 lb fearful rescue pup, he needs a couple of meetings to get comfortable with new people and Amber is very patient with him! He is glad to see Amber when she comes to care for him, she helps him play his favorite training games and her communication with us about any questions or updates is top-notch! We are looking forward to many visits from Amber for our dog while we're away.”

About: 🐾 Hi there! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years. From energetic puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior dogs who just want a comfy spot and gentle company. Over the years, I’ve raised and cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I truly believe every pup deserves love, patience, and attention tailored to their needs. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or quiet cuddle sessions, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I understand the unique care that comes with each stage of a dog’s life, from potty training and teething to administering medication or offering extra care for older pups. Your pet will be treated like family, with plenty of love, structure, and belly rubs along the way! ❤️ I work from home as a freelancer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the day. Whether it’s weekday walks, midday potty breaks, or weekend check-ins, I’m available and happy to adjust to your pet’s routine. Since I’m home most of the time, your dog will get lots of attention, playtime, and companionship. I love fitting pet care into my daily flow, and your pup will always have someone nearby for cuddles, walks, and fun! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When I’m visiting your home or taking your dog for a walk, I make sure they’re in a familiar, stress-free environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level before every visit. During walks, I always use secure leashes, avoid high-traffic or unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on surroundings to ensure your dog stays safe and relaxed. For check-ins, I make sure food, water, and playtime are handled with care. You can count on me to treat your pet and your space with the same respect, care, and attention I’d give my own. ❤️🐾

“Thank you so much Alicia! She is always my go-to cat sitter for almost a year now and she’s gotten to know my two kitties super well! She did an amazing job and went above and beyond with handling any issues that came up, such as cleaning up after one of my cats broke something or there were issues with the auto feeder. She always sends the cutest photos of them with detailed updates. I felt totally comfortable leaving my kitties in her capable hands while I was away on vacation.”

“Diana took great care of our two dogs. I appreciated the pictures she uploaded with every visit. I could really see how happy the dogs were playing and getting a chance to stroll outside. Her schedule seemed a bit complex, and we had to make some last minute changes, but she was professional and very communicative.”
“April did a wonderful job checking in our two dogs for midday breaks this week! She was very communicative and made sure to address all the things we asked her to: enrichment activities for one pup and snuggles with another. I’ll definitely book her again!”

West Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hannah was a wonderful sitter for both of our kitties while we were out of town for two weeks! She ensured we were up to speed on our cats and was super communicative all throughout the booking. Appreciated her flexibility on some last minute booking changes and would definitely be looking to rebook her in the near future 🙂

Mari is such a pleasant person to be around. She understood exactly what it takes to care for an older cat with health conditions like our Ziggy. I really appreciated the level of enthusiasm, attentiveness, and experience she brought, even with a long list of medications and feeding instructions. It’s clear that she genuinely cares deeply about both the animals and the people who love them.

We feel so lucky that Camille was able to watch our three kitties again! She is communicative and clearly has so much love for our babies. We appreciate her detailed updated, photos, and videos. I hate being away from my babies but feel so much better knowing Camille is watching them!! Highly recommend.
