“He took such great care of my puppy. It was hard leaving him for the first time but I loved getting pictures of him while he was there. I’m so glad to have found a great dog sitter to care for my little Teddy.”
“Dale was great! Sami will definitely be back! Dale sent pictures, videos and texts multiple times a day, and she looked happier and more playful each day. We were nervous about leaving her, and how she would react. We got Sami 3 months ago from the shelter, and she usually barks at anyone new, but she climed in Dale's lap like he was an old friend, and we neww she would be fine. We have another trip planed in a few months, and Sami will definitely spends that time with Dale!”
“Elizabeth is a great sitter, she is caring and kind. Her personal touch with our Jazmin was very heartwarming. Would definitely recommend, and will use her services again.”
“Jeremy was amazing with my sweet Benji. He carved a space into his home and family where Benji fit right in! Jeremy kept me well updated and as a dog mom who has had to be away from her son the past few months, his updates illuminated my days. Thank you so much, Jeremy!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and it went incredibly smooth! Jacob and his family loved on my dog Benny and sent me updates, pictures, and answered all of my questions. I will definitely be using them the next time I need it!”
“I am always very skeptical about leaving my anxious boy with anybody, but Tabby was very reassuring and so sweet and patient with my anxious boy!! I will definitely be using her again, very kind and considerate and extremely understanding!”
“10/10 would recommend!! My dog Moose absolutely loved Mia because she felt like she was at home and loved her to pieces while I was gone. Great communication and also a plus she kept sending me pictures which I love.”
“My Opie had a wonderful time! She sent me multiple pictures every day, kept up with his training, and even stuck to his diet. He’s very healthy and happy, even though I’ve been gone for a week. 10/10, I could not have chosen a better sitter for my cat.”
About: I've taken care of family dogs for ~12years, and have my own ~80lb gentle giant Pyrenees who has taught me alot about how a calm presence influences a dogs demeanor!! I will provide a safe, fun, playful space & treat your dog as my own!! My dog LOVES little kids, small dogs, and big dogs. She is a protector dog & will be gentle with the little ones & love to play rough w the big ones 🥰 Although my dog is spayed, I do not accept uneuetered male dogs (though I am sure they are sweet 🫶) I work Monday through Friday every week, and spend my evenings and weekends at home with my pup! Would love to have yours join us! I can provide separate spaces as needed, crate time, quiet time, or 1-one-1 play. Fenced in yard or a quiet space on the couch, we'll make it work!
About: I’ve grown up loving and taking care of dogs my whole life. I have worked with Rover for about 2 years now and nothing is more special than looking after other people's pets! I have worked at pet kennels/facilities so I know a lot about animals. I am also more than comfortable giving your dog or cat medicine or even insulin! I am home most of the day and I will be attentive to your pups throughout the day! They will get plenty of love, attention, and play time with my dogs! I have a big fence yard with plenty of space to run around. I have two other dogs at home who love company and play time!
“We had a last minute change in our original plans, and I reached out to Corlena to see if she had any availability to watch our dog for the weekend. She was so prompt in her communication and we were booked with her immediately. Drop off went great; very quick and easy, and our dog had no time making himself at home. We received picture updates of him relaxing in their spacious yard and being walked. Pickup was just as smooth. It was a great experience and I will definitely book again. Thank you so much Corlena for taking care of Finn and easing our minds while we were away for the weekend!”

It’s obvious why Jacob is a star sitter! This was the first time I left my dog with anyone other than family or close friends, so naturally, I was very nervous to leave him. Jacob was very thorough, communicative, and caring. My Doberman LOVED the attention he received from Jacob, his wife, and his two kiddos. Thank you so much, we’ll be back super soon!!
Erin was absolutely amazing with our dog Skye while we were on a week-long cruise. From the moment we dropped Skye off, we knew she was in great hands. Erin kept us updated, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear that Skye was comfortable, happy, and very well cared for. When we came home, she was her normal, playful self—which says everything about the love and attention Erin gave her. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust like Erin. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
