“Marie was amazing with our needy , energetic frenchie! You can tell she cares deeply for animals. She asked all the right questions, making sure she understood our dog's needs and routine. She checked in often and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. We highly recommend her!”


“Kira was the perfect fit for dog and house sitting! She is very reliable. She must be a dog whisperer! My dog is usually very unsettled after I return from a trip. With Kira, it was like I never left!! I would highly recommend Kira!!!”


“Emily is so sweet and thoughtful and knows how to read the needs and personality of the pup (and owner). She has a real knack for care. Wonderful house sitter and I will absolutely book with Emily again to stay with Mowgli again!”


“Dahn was wonderful with our dog Levon! We went away for about 4 nights. Dahn was excellent at contacting us and sharing pictures with Levon. She was so attentive with him, catering to his every need. Dahn is kind and loving and it comes through tenfold with the animals she takes care of. This was the first time anyone has stayed overnight with Levon and Dahn allowed me to completely relax, knowing he was in such capable hands. If you're trying to find your next dog sitter/dog walker, look no further!!”


“Veronica was amazing! She took excellent care of our pup and was very communicative. Cooper was very well cared for and we felt at-ease leaving him with Veronica, even when he had some special needs and required extra attention/help. We would highly recommend her for any pet care!”


“Matt was/is amazing! A true hidden gem or maybe not so hidden but either way I'm glad I found him. His immediate calming demeanor was just what my semi high strung energetic dog needed, as well as my timid cat. He was flexible, punctual, incredibly kind, and went above and beyond while caring for my fur babies. It made being away from them that much easier as my mind and heart were at peace. He also sent me lots of photos of them which always brightens my day when I'm away from them. I could not recommend Matt enough.”


“Pauline is awesome. Lots of pictures and great communication! She took excellent care of our babies! We already have future dates booked, and we won’t hesitate to book more dates. Thank you Pauline!”


“Steven and Claudia are kind people and great cat and house sitters! They took care of our cat Hugo for 2 weeks and kept us updated with messages and pictures. We came back to a happy cat and clean house and wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again. Highly recommend!”


“This was my first time booking a cat sitter through Rover - Jen is phenomenal! She is so kind, and was consistent, reliable, thorough, and thoughtful in taking care of my two cats and home. She went the extra mile by showing care about understanding the cats’ routine, bonding with them, sending updates, and keeping things clean in my absence. It was so nice to trust that the cats were being well cared for while I was away at a research conference, and Jen was perfect with communication/updates. I will definitely be a repeat client of hers!”


“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our three critters - 2 pups and a cat. She provided daily photo updates and was super responsive. We really appreciated having her stay over so we knew everyone was in good hands! Would definitely book her again.”


“Heather watched our 11 year old chihuahua mix for two nights while we were away for our wedding. It was our first time leaving Birdie with a sitter and Heather was amazing. She sent lots of photos and updates, and we did a meet & greet before booking so we had time to get to know her before the business of our wedding weekend. When we returned, our house was impeccably clean and Birdie was relaxed and happy to see us. Thank you SO much Heather, we look forward to rebooking in the future!”


“Amanda was just great. She was very responsible and respectful and very communicative. She sent us pictures of Buddy and kept us informed of what he was doing. We felt very comfortable about being away knowing that Amanda was there. We found everything spotless when we returned and we really appreciate that! We'll certainly have Amanda back!”


About: Lifelong pet lover experienced with large dogs. Patient, compassionate care tailored to your dog's unique needs, ensures they feel safe, happy, and loved every time. I understand that every dog has its own personality and pace, and I’m here to make sure they are cared for when you can’t be there. Whether it’s daily walks, sitting, or a check-in, your dog will be treated like family. I have taken care of dogs since I was young, including senior dogs that might need more care. I’m a working professional that works from home and has a flexible schedule to take care of your pets. I am available weekends if give some notice. I make sure my cat is taken care of regularly and spoiled with treats and wet food. She gets her okay time! My neighbors trusted me to walk their dogs and feed them during vacations.

“Mary Rose was wonderful!! Very communicative, caring, and did a great job updating me while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. The frequent pictures she sent of my boy throughout the day eased any worry and I knew he was being well cared for. Cloud approved and made a new friend😊🤍”


About: I love Dogs it doesn't matter if is not my own. They all need love and care. I will make any dog feel like home. I have train my dog to sit give pal and roll over since he was 10 weeks old. I work from home, so we spend a lot of time together. Working from home allows me to give my dog time and love, go on walks I have a very big space and a room just for my dogs and dog sitting. I also have access to the trail and big front yard they can run.

About: I grew up with three ridgebacks and a beagle, all of whom needed specialized care into their later years. Now, as an adult, I really miss getting to spend so much time with dogs — I would view getting to walk, feed, or play with your dog as a privilege, not an obligation. I work a pretty unorthodox job that leaves me with a open schedule for weeks at a time. The money is nice, sure, but I mostly just need something to fill up my days. I’m very flexible, and more than willing to work with you and your pet’s schedule. I really just aim to make clients animals as close to their everyday routines as possible — it can be jarring for some dogs to have a new person around! A happy dog is a good dog, I find.

About: I have been responsible for my own pets’ care since I was 12. I have had a very active German Shepard mix and Sharpei growing up, which I was responsible for feeding, bathing, and care. I have a family friend that I walk and hike their dog for so I am comfortable doing both if your dog is more active. I currently work fully remote from my home with schedule flexibility so I am able to take pets for walks in mornings, afternoons, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to be flexible for walking and pet visits during guardian vacations, time away, etc. I have a pet-free home for any pets that are not used to other animals. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with green space. When dog-sitting, I take the approach of playing with a pet outside and familiarizing prior to introductory period in the home.

He acknowledges and understands their unique feelings and wants and never makes animal uncomfortable for selfish purposes. I’ve watched him care for his dogs, my dogs, other peoples’ cats and dogs, and he always gives the highest level of care and kindness to them. Can’t recommend him enough!”

Davonna is AWESOME! She is communicative, punctual, friendly, and trustworthy. My gang enjoyed their weekend with her and she put my mind at ease. I’ve been using Rover for years and I never feel any less anxious when I have to find a housesitter but I will definitely book Davonna again!

I am a someone who has a hard time trusting anyone to watch my pets, especially someone I don’t know personally. Going onto Rover was nerve racking because I’ve never used a service like this before. I found Jen’s profile, saw how many clients she’s had, and more importantly, how many clients have used her multiple times. So I decided to reach out. And I’m so thankful that I did! From her easy-going manner, to the way my dogs reacted to her, her knowledge, and daily communication with pictures and videos, she was everything I was looking for and more! She put my mind at ease that my pets and home were in good hands. Thank you Jen for everything! I will definitely be working with her in the future!

Janalie is the best dog sitter around. She gave so much love and attention to our Labrador retriever and has amazing energy from the moment she met the dog. She kept us up to date and sent photos throughout her stay. Our doggo was in good spirits when we got home!

Melanie house and dog sat for our dog Luna for a few days while we traveled out of state. This was our first experience with Melanie other than a few daily walks and we were extremely happy with the care and communication. We received daily updates and pictures and Luna seemed happy and engaged every day with walks and playtime. Everything looked great upon our return. Melanie was responsive when I messaged her. We will definitely have Melanie watch Luna again and give her 5 stars! Thank you.

Rachel took such good care of our little guys while we were gone. Our senior kitty needs several feedings of wet food through out the day and gets medication twice a day. Rachel was great about sending pictures and updates which helped me feel so relieved that things were fine at home. It felt great knowing our cats were both cared for and loved. Our house was also in perfect order. Thank you Rachel!
