Eleanna was amazing with my older dog Ollie! He’s a reactive dog but Eleanna took the time and had the skills to help him adjust while I was away and took some adorable photos!

Dane was amazing and I’m so relieved to have found such a great sitter on our first go at Rover. He’s extremely communicative and took amazing care of both our cat and dog. We received frequent updates and photos and knew both our babies were in good hands. Our dog was extremely well exercised, and Dane went above and beyond to still check in and greet our cat (while giving her space) who doesn’t do well with people. Dane also went above and beyond to leave our house neater than when he first arrived! Would highly recommend Dane, and I’m so glad to know we have a reliable, trusted sitter for future vacations!

About: My preferred first name is Bear. I have 5+ years experience volunteering in rescue shelters with both dogs and cats and I’ve definitely developed a knack for befriending anxious/shy animals. I’ve also worked professionally as a dog bather working with dogs of all ages and sizes. I also have experience leash training dogs and training a few basic commands. I’ve done a lot of cat sitting as well (in homes with up to 11 indoor cats!). I’m currently in school pursuing a nursing degree. My summer class schedule allows me to go for walks and check ins during mornings and early afternoons. I have done a lot of pet sitting in the pet’s homes. I understand the importance of respecting my clients’ property and I always leave the property in the same condition as when I arrived, if not better. If you are a gamer, I will never mess with your save files (many past clients seem to have this concern lol).

Shivani was incredible and the best sitter we’ve had! She took such great care of our pup, our two cats, and our home. Our pup is fairly reactive and has some big feelings about the world, so it can be hard to find people she is comfortable with. She seemed to be quite at ease with Shivani and enjoyed her time with her! Our shy cat also loved Shivani! Shivani also sent a lot of updates about our pets, which was soooo incredibly helpful and really put us at ease while we were away! Truly can’t say enough positive things about her and we will definitely ask her to sit for us in the future!

About: My personal approach to dog care is grounded in genuine care for their well being. Working with my clients I provide prompt communication to ensure your dog is safe, happy, and healthy! Growing up my family had a beautiful 30lb dog that I helped care for from a puppy to old age. Being a part of this process has shown me how to support dogs in each stage of life from rambunctious puppies (structure, training and enrichment) to easing the aging process (special diet, new steps to climb onto the couch, shorter walks etc). Depending on the activity needs of your pup, I’m happy to provide daily walks or short runs (1-3 miles). I'm currently taking a gap year so I have plenty of time for your pups! I'm available weekdays and, with advance planning, can provide housesitting through weekends as well. I live in a single family home with three dogs. However, our family dogs like their space, and it is not available for dog boarding.

About: My pet care experience includes looking after cats, dogs, fish, and hamsters. I'm happy to maintain litter boxes, take dogs on long walks and play fetch, spend time with cats, administer pills and medications to any animal (even if they are not excited about it), and provide pets and scritches whenever needed I'm currently working 8-4:30 with open availability every early morning, evening, and weekend from now until June 6! During the summers, my availability will be completely open! I am experienced caring for pets in other people's homes, but unfortunately not in my own because I have two rescued cats of my own. I love taking dogs on walks, feeding and spending time with cats, and looking after all types of animals in your home!

Johnatan took care of my dog for 2 weeks. He’d feed her and walk her twice a day. He was always respectful and kept me posted about my dog’s activities. He washed the linens before departing and even gave my dog a quick bath (he forgot the blow-drying part though). As much as I’d like to give him 5 stars, there’s still room for improvement as he forgot to leave the sliding door open for the dog to go outside leading to the dog peeing and popping inside of the house. He sometimes took 8+ hours to get back home and a couple of nights he wasn’t able to return at all and my dog slept alone. The latter due to he working part time at a place located 1 hr away from our home. Overall, a thrustful boy who just needs to get more experience.

Rachel did a wonderful job watching my 7 year old dog Scooter and taking care of my home. She followed my instructions perfectly; developed a warm relationship with my dog Scooter; kept me updated with photos and reports; and even left me with an oil pastel sketch that captured his sweet spirit perfectly. I returned home to a clean and tidy home and a happy pup. I highly recommend Rachel as a pet sitter in your home.

Alejandra took excellent care of our three dogs, and our home. She communicated well, and transparently, which helped keep us informed on the health and welfare of our “kids”, one of whom was still recovering from dental surgery. She even took her to her follow-up vet visit. When we returned after our 11 day vacation, the house was clean and tidy and the dogs were clearly bonded with her. We will gladly book with Alejandra for all of pur future vacations!

Eleanna is the best sitter on Rover. She watched our senior extra large, picky girl (with multiple medications) for a week and made us feel so comfortable with the whole Rover process. We came back to a clean house and a very happy pooch. Eleanna communicated with us everyday and sent a series of photos with each message. The level of care she showed us, our dog, and our home has made us repeat customers! Thank you Eleanna!!

Sarah was awesome. She took care of my high maintenance blind, senior dog for three days while I was out of town. She handled his many medications and followed my detailed instructions for his care completely. She even moved my car into the garage for me when I needed it, and my home was spotless upon return. She is very professional and very thorough. And is especially skilled with sr/diabled dogs. I will for sure book her again for help with my lil guy.

I have never used Rover before and Erin by far exceeded every expectation I had. We had her stay with our newly adopted dog for two nights and our dog loved her. We had our neighbors help out before and our dog wouldn't let them near her, but with Erin, our dog was her sweet self. Erin was punctual and made me feel at ease right away. She also left our house just as we left it. I would highly recommend Erin for any pet sitting needs.

Our pet sitter fell through last minute and Victoria was a life saver!! She was prompt, communicative, and incredibly caring. Our lab/pitbull mix was comfortable with her immediately. She's flexible if your dog has any special needs/attention. The updates Victoria sent while we were gone made us feel like our pup was in great hands and eased our anxieties about leaving him with a stranger. Book with Victoria if you want your pets in caring, loving hands!

5 ⭐ — Above and beyond in every way Charlii is simply the best. We left our two dogs with her for several days and came home to two happy, well-loved pups. She sent consistent updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave us such peace of mind. She handled their daily medications without any issue, was clearly attuned to each of their personalities and different play styles, and made sure they got plenty of good walks. What really set Charlii apart was how she handled an unexpected situation — one of our dogs developed his first hotspot mid-stay, and she responded quickly, calmly, and kept us informed every step of the way. It’s one thing to care for dogs when everything goes smoothly; it’s another to show that level of attentiveness and resourcefulness when something comes up. She nailed it. We cannot recommend Charlii highly enough. She’s our go-to from here on out — don’t hesitate to book her!
