“Emily was awesome! Her response time was great. We don’t worry once about Claude. He was smiling lots when we picked him up! We’ll definitely be booking with Emily again.”

“Kristie was one of the best dog sitters we have had for Bruno. She was not only professional but deeply passionate about the well-being of animals. What truly stood out was her remarkable responsiveness and flexibility. Despite my last-minute request, she graciously accommodated my needs. Throughout my dog's stay, Kristie maintained excellent communication with cute photos of Bruno, keeping me informed and reassured at every step. She even gave my dog with a toy to take home with him. I wholeheartedly recommend Kristie to anyone seeking reliable and caring pet care services and I 100% would go to her again for future needs.”

“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”

“Jason was great! He took such good care of our mini goldendoodle with separation anxiety. Loved getting picture updates, and she had the best time in his awesome backyard with the other dogs. Highly recommend!”

“Very friendly and communicative. Sent photo updates. Very quick response time. Oakley seemed so happy to be there and got along with her family well. My dog had an uncharacteristic accident (pee) over night and Ana handled this without issue or frustration. She helped Oakleys settle in and feel comfortable so this didn’t happen again!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Sharon. She’s an amazingly, caring woman who took exceptional care of Pia, my 14 year-old Shih Tzu in her home. And I encourage anyone else who wants a dog sitter - who takes small dogs, only one at a time, and is genuinely interested & attentive to your fur baby’s needs - book with Sharon. Highly recommend. I already have another trip planned, & Pia will be with Sharon in her lovely ranch home & fenced yard!”

“Elaine was amazing! She kept me updated on Oreo’s care. She sent me photos. I felt happy to know that my dog was in great hands. Also, she had open availability. Which is great when you plan last minute trips. Highly recommend!!!”

“My pup, Candy was very happy with her stay. Joanne was very kind and kept me updated on how everything was going and I felt confident leaving Candy there. I would book again.”

“Matthew is very good at taking care of Zara. Easy to deal with. Matthew updates me everyday with photos as well, beautiful comments about . Thank you for taking care of Zara. We highly recommend Matthew to any family wanting their dog cared for well. He has a beautiful Boxer ( Blue )& Catahoula Cur (Luna)who are playful and friendly. that I was definitely very happy to be there with you guys and spend time.See you again next time.”

About: I provide a calm caring and reliable experience for dogs of all ages. I have hands-on experience working with energetic puppies helping with basic training routines and plenty of playtime as well as older dogs who need a gentler pace, patience, and attentive care. Whether it is keeping up with a playful pup or supporting a senior dogs comfort and mobility I focus on creating a safe stress-free environment where every dog feels understood and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine because I'm a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. Morning walks and feedings can happen alongside getting the kids ready, while midday visits offer a natural break and a chance to reset. Puppies bring energy and short training moments, while older dogs fit well into calmer, more relaxed periods. Overall, it blends easily into my daily home life without needing a separate schedule. I enjoy going on walks, going on hikes, and engaging in fun playtime with pets. I am comfortable handling feeding and daily care to keep your pets happy and well looked after. I will care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own.
“For the first time in a long time, my family and I took a vacation out of the country. I was especially worried about our dogs as we've taken them with us whenever we've gone on a trip and they wouldn't be able to go with us this time. I found Marleny and Luis as a first time Rover user and was relieved that they were able to care for our two dogs while away. We had a meet and greet, and a few day visits leading up to the trip and all went well. The dogs were with them for 8 days and my heart was at peace knowing they were being cared for in their home. I sent rationed food, treats, beds and instructions for eye drops and daily supplements. Marleny did not hesitate and accommodated all my requests. I'm very happy to have found a caring home and caretakers. We will be planning more vacations knowing we have a reliable and caring option for Ella and Diesel.”

“My dog can get anxious in new environments. Sarah and her family created a warm, inviting, and fun atmosphere where Frankie was able to relax and not be stressed. I won’t hesitate to reach out to her in the future. Thanks Sarah!! ?”

“Hannah took great care of my baby. She’s super chill and sweet. Sent daily pictures of my dog while in her care. Normally my dog does not eat her food if I’m not around but that wasn’t the case with Hannah. I’d definitely recommend using her services!”


About: I have had a dog since I was a kid. When I got married , we adopted our first dog Sonny from a rescue. Shortly after that we took one of the puppies from my sister in laws litter, Bandit. They both brought such love and happiness into our family and were devastated when we lost them both. Looking for a job where I could give my love to other’s animals. I currently am unemployed, but looking to be a full time dog sitter/ dog walker. I am a stay at home mom, hoping to bring some extra income to my household. My typical day starts at 7:30 with school drop off for my son and drop off at 8:40 for my daughter. With pick ups between 2-3:30. Once school ends my hours become more available.

“Michelle promptly replied to me and provided detailed information on the pet sitting services she provided. I was so relieved to find her while visiting family and needing a sitter to attend a wedding. Michelle was available on short notice and provided numerous updates throughout the weekend. Thank you, Michelle for taking care of Lexie and allowing me the opportunity to enjoy the wedding and time with my family without worrying about my fur kid!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amanda is such a sweetheart and very caring towards my two pups during their stay. She communicates often and very quickly, and has an amazing yard for them to stretch their little legs. Would highly recommend her!”

“Christine was wonderful, caring towards my dog Sebastian, and very responsive. Her home is warm and welcoming, and Sebastian came home happy and wiped out from his adventures :)”

“Cooper and I loved Danielle! Regular text updates and pics were lovely. We will be taking Cooper to her for our next vacation in July, knowing he will be well cared for.”

Alpha dog parents share their Rover experiences
This is the second time we have trusted Emily with our dog Jenny and it was just as great as the last time! Emily made sure that Jenny was comfortable and helped ensured that she adjusted well. We also received many pics of her while we were away which was an extra peace of mind. She’s the best!

Sarah is my go-to sitter for my dog anytime I go out of town for about 2 years now. I have used her multiple times and I'm always satisfied with the quality of care and service she provides. I recently used her in May for week and last week for a trip as well. Will also be using her in October. I highly recommend!
