“Alexis was beyond amazing! I needed help last minute and didn’t have time for a meet and greet. She followed all instructions to a T! She was so patient and bonded immediately with my senior dog. She took him on a stroller ride and cuddled with him on the couch. Thank you for giving my old man so much love, I truly appreciate you!!!!”
“Daphne cared for our 16 year old cat for 9 days while we were out of the country. We received detailed updates and pictures twice a day. It was clear that she made a real effort to coax our elderly cat to eat, spent time just sitting with her on her lap,and making her feel "tended to". She also had no problem administering several medications that she takes, and seemed very competent and knowledgeable. She volunteered to take out our trash bins, and turned on and off our porch lights. Daphne is mature and able to handle any pet or home situation, she communicates effectively, and I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Jailah was incredible! She helped me when I made several errors making my first booking. She sent great pics and was great with the dogs! Definitely will book again:).”
“PSA: BOOK E FOR ALL YOUR PET NEEDS🗣️🔊 I cannot say enough good things about E. We will use them everytime we go on vacation. E came to our place before our trip to get a vibe of the cats, learn the home, and just understand what we needed. It was so professional and made us feel so safe and comforted to leave our cats with E. Immediately, our cats loved E! Every visit, E took so many pictures, and that really helped us on our 2 week vacation. They did everything we asked them too - they tailor their care to what you need them too. E loves all pets and we could immediately feel that. They also caught a big problem! Our AC went out while we were gone, and E let us know, and fixed it by finding the circuit box to turn it back on. That gave us peace of mind and saved us $$$$ to not have to call a HVAC guy. Overall, do yourself a favor and book E!!!🥰🥰”
“This is the second time Allegra has watched our two chihuahuas, Cookie and Lucy, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have found her. She is incredibly patient and kind with both dogs—especially important with our chihuahuas, who can be a bit particular and take time to warm up. Allegra is also 100% reliable and always communicates clearly, which gives us peace of mind when we’re away. Her Rover cards are detailed and thoughtful, with plenty of photos and notes that show she really understands and cares for each of their personalities. We can tell our girls are comfortable and well cared for every time Allegra visits. Highly recommend!”
“Deana was great. She sent tons of pictures and my cat seemed to warm up to her very quickly. She gave a detailed report on everything my little buddy was up to. Shes a lifesaver!”
“Cody was extremely helpful, making sure everything happened according to the directions. She loved and handled the pups well who have A LOT of energy! 10/10”
“Noah is our go to dog sitter whenever we have to go out of town. Noah is reliable, provides regular updates, plays with our pup and ensures that all of our pups needs are met. Knowing that Noah is taking care of our Benji when we’re away puts our mind at ease. I am so happy to have found this service and will continue to book Noah for future trips :)”
About: Growing up with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs, I have a wide array of pet care experience for animal friends large and small. Frequent dogwalker and pet-sitter with extensive knowledge of care practices. I am a remote worker and student in my day-to-day life, so I can frequently care for pets in my off-time in between classes and while working at home. I will be open in my communication about any issues or special needs that pets will need and trust that clients will communicate any special needs to me.
About: I have always been passionate about animals and grew up being a "Dog Girl". I would opt to study dog breeds before bed instead of bed time stories and quiz my parents on walks and car rides. I've cared for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Yorkies, and French Bulldogs all the way up to Giant Schnauzers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, and Labradoodles! Once I moved out on my own and moved into a studio apartment I realized that I may not have room physically for a dog but I would be able to help out cats who are waiting for their furever homes. I have been fostering cats for 5 years and have been able to help cats in both Chicago and New Orleans acclimate to home life as they await their adoption. I have "Foster Failed" and do have my own cat, Dolly, who is my constant companion. I often care for my friends animals in the area and look forward to meeting your fury family member! I do have blocks of time through out the day where I can check in and spend time with your fur baby. I have a pretty flexible schedule but it does fluctuate. I would be able to work with your animal's schedule but it will depend sometimes week to week or month to month. I have a lot of free time in early morning, around lunch and late evenings every day with most days having free afternoons and/or evenings. I will not be hosting animals in my home at this time but I do have space for animals as I often foster shelter cats in my home.
“Better than just a sitter. Did absolutely everything above and beyond. I cannot thank you enough for all the help. Did a fantastic job with Aja and truly went above and beyond.”
About: Retired dog foster mom and dog sitter. Recently lost my beagle and miss pup time. I treat my friend’s dogs like my own and they actually encouraged me to start a profile. I like walking and don’t mind slow sniffers. I’m aware of squirrels and cats in my neighborhood and avoid them when necessary. I work full time but have availability evenings and weekends. Looking forward to long walks, tails wagging while sniffing and again meeting daily step goals. I have a small back yard and shotgun house which I own. I can crate if necessary but if your fur baby is trustworthy, I’m happy to let him or her free range guard my house during the day. The window facing the street is typically pretty entertaining. I have a doggie camera in the living room to send pictures if he/she is in the view.
“Haley was wonderful with our cats when we went out of town for a few days! They seemed to take right to her, even though one can often be shy around new people. Will definitely work with her again the next time we need coverage!”

Jared V.
“Jared V. would be a fantastic addition to Rover because he brings genuine warmth, responsibility, and dedication to every interaction — both with people and with pets. Having grown up surrounded by pets, he understands that each animal has unique needs and deserves patient, attentive care — whether that means energetic playtime, gentle companionship, or careful feeding routines. He truly understands what it means to provide safe, loving care day after day and has a natural way of making pets feel comfortable and happy. Jared’s warm personality instantly builds trust with both pets and their owners, and his excellent communication ensures that pet parents always feel informed and reassured. His kindness, reliability, and upbeat spirit make him an all-around awesome human being who brightens the day of everyone he meets, furry or not. Jared is exactly the caring, dependable sitter families want for their loved ones.”
