“Lisa was wonderful!!! She took such great care of our dog Blue! We loved the frequent photos and updates, and she was always so responsive to messages. I HIGHLY recommend Lisa and we will most definitely book with her again!”
“Simon was a great pick as a cat sitter. He sent me videos and photos of my cat everyday and took good care of her. I’d recommend him to anyone looking to get their cat taken care of and watched for a period of time.”
“Serah was an amazing person to have as our little Lita’s foster momma while we had an extended vacation. She kept us in the loop with texts and pictures. It was so reassuring to have our pup taken care of and loved as her own. Lita loved the fenced in yard and having Riley, Serah’s dog, as her playmate. We highly recommend Serah. We will definitely choose her again as our first choice in dog sitters.”
“Jenny was so easy and great to work with. She responded very quickly to my last minute plans and was able to watch my dog. She’s very sweet, communicative, and followed instructions well. Clean house and had another dog in the house, but my dog did great with her’s. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby! I would definitely go with Jenny again!”
“They took such good care of Morgan, we were very anxious about leaving her, she's never been away. They sent me pictures to let me know she was doing well. Thank you so so much!”
“Carrie was very responsive and took great care of our doggies! She gave them many walks and kept in touch with photos and updates. She navigated behavioral quirks of the dogs with grace and wisdom.”
“My dog Willy had such a great time while I was away on vacation. He loved the backyard, pets, and cuddles. Jon would consistently keep me updated and send me photos of my buddy. Definitely will be going back!”
“Miriam is great! She’s been watching our dogs for a while now and they always look forward doggy daycare with her. We forgot to pack 1 day of food for our dogs and Miriam made sure they didn’t go hungry. She’s super responsive and attentive to our needs. Would totally recommend Miriam for any rover needs.”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! I treat my dog as my child and he loves playmates. I have been a foster with Cocos Heart Dog Rescue for over four years, where I have provided a home for shy, breeder release dogs, and within days, we have become best friends. I am a go to for watching my friends and neighbors dogs. I love everything from play time with young puppies, and the sweet cuddles with senior dogs. I work fully remote, so pets get frequent attention, play time, and walks. My dog gets fed once in the morning and one at night, but I am flexible with feeding schedules and keep dogs separate during feeding time. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I strive to create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where every dog can feel at home. I understand that being in a new space can feel overwhelming, so I always give new dogs plenty of time to sniff, explore, and get comfortable at their own pace without feeling rushed. I have a friendly, confident dog of my own, and I take introductions seriously. When a new dog arrives, I keep my dog in a separate area so the new pup can explore and settle in independently before they meet. I believe in slow, supervised introductions and always pay attention to each dog’s body language and comfort level. I also take precautions to keep my home pet-friendly, prevent access to potential hazards, and ensure dogs have their own space to relax. I want every pup in my care to feel safe, loved, and right at home, with plenty of attention, patience, and affection.
“Xan took great care of my 2 1/2 -year old puppy providing lots of cuddles and playtime plus hikes in good weather. Xan paid good attention to my puppy’s eating quirks and medication needs. She communicated just as I requested and sent fun photos. I greatly appreciated Xan’s flexibility when my flight was delayed. Overall, a great experience. I highly recommend Xan.”
“Katie and her family were amazing. They made our senior dog feel part of their family. They gave medication and attended to all his needs. Not only was he cared for but he was made part of their family. We would always recommend Katie and her family to watch our dog. She sent updates all the time and pictures of our dog having a great time with the family. Truly an amazing experience.”
“Rozalyn took WONDERFUL CARE of my dog, Poppet. She also sent me pictures or videos daily. I was extremely happy with her doggy care for my pup. I would definately use her again.”
“Carla and her husband took excellent care of my girl, on short notice. She was happy. She made nice with her first cat encounters. She was well loved while I had work travel, which was exactly what we needed! Thank you Carla!!”
“Tori was well taken care of during her stay at Susie’s. Susie is delightful and enjoys keeping dogs. You can see by her enthusiasm and sense of pride in her care. Definitely will use her again.”
“They were amazing and took my dog last minute when my other sitter outside of Rover fell through!! My dog loved their kids! I was that obnoxious owner who was anxious about leaving my pup and Dalton obliged by sending me texts with pic updates. I am so incredibly thankful for Dalton and his family!!! ????”
“Julie took great care of Molly for me while I had to go out of town for about a week. Her dog, Gilbert, and cats were good companions, she has a great fenced-in backyard, and she kept me updated with pics and commentary about Molly's stay. Will definitely be back, thanks Julie!”
“We did a trial overnight and our Murray came home calm and content. As a senior dog he can take a little longer to settle down in new situations. Theresa and Mike communicated openly about how he adjusted.”

Carolyn and her family are the best sitters I could ever hope for. My dog gets so excited to go to their home and I know she’s always having a good time because Carolyn sends regular photos and updates. I felt confident my pup was in good hands when I went on a one month trip. I would recommend Carolyn and her family to anyone looking for a dog sitter you can trust!
Emily was great to work with! She was helpful in working with our schedule to meet and great as well as with drop-off and pick-up. She provided updates and photos of Charlie throughout the weekend that assured us Charlie was in good hands. So thankful for the care she provided!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
