“Mark was absolutely amazing with our dog. He sent us photos throughout the weekend and updated us on how he was doing. Due to our dog being a little uncertain of new people, Mark even offered to come meet him ahead of time for peace of mind. We will absolutely be using him again!!”

“Amber did a great job of taking care of my in-law’s Great Pyrenees and my two cats. She sent me tons of pictures, left our place super clean, and even made us a little gift. Would highly recommend booking her!!”

“My girls loved Donne. She stayed with them for 8 nights and did a fantastic job. She left the house spotless and even vacuumed! I would highly recommend Donne for any pet needs. Since we found her we are planning more excursions knowing we have a new loving and caring “family member “!!”

“Bryan was wonderful. We had to leave town quickly to see a family member in hospice. When they passed away on our trip, he was flexible and stayed longer. He took great care of the house and dog and was in communication with us checking in regularly. I didn’t have to worry about the house or dog. I will for sure book again with him.”

“Tristan was great. He arrived on time and was very polite. He took very good care of my baby and provided constant updates. I will definitely contact Tristan for any future needs.”

“Cassidy took such fantastic care of our boys while we were away! So many extra great touches and details. Our boys seem happy and well taken care of. I cant really say enough! Thank you, Cassidy!”

“Caitlin was a wonderful house sitter. She arrived on time and stayed with our sweet pup. She walked him and played with him. Her communication is quick and she is very responsive when you reach out. She also left us with a very sweet thank you note and dog toy for Bosley. We will be using her again for a longer stay next week and are grateful we have found her for our fur baby.”


About: I’m a mom to 4 rambunctious children and 1 kid friendly chihuahua(14) and 1 loving husky pit mix(1). When most people meet my dog they are surprised at how friendly he is and how good he is with our young children. We used to have two dogs but we had to put older one down due to seizures and brain issues. In high school I worked in an army veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant for a cooperative work experience program. My original plan in life was to be a veterinarian but after having to assist with some tough cases I decided just being a good pet owner and caregiver was more my speed. I’m a full time stay at home mom and love playing with my dogs and kids in my spare time. I’d love to help you care for your fur baby as well. I’m pretty flexible. I’m home days once I get my kids get off to school during the day. In the evenings and on weekends I take them to their respective practices or games but that doesn’t mean I don’t have time to care for and give your fur baby some love as well. I like to take my fur babies for about a mile walk in the morning and then my younger pup will go on another half mile walk with me in the after noon. My older guys stays home and chills but he gets lots of love and snuggles at home.
“Sabrina was a wonderful pet sitter .She has enough experience with animals and works well with my pets. She gave my dog medicine and did wound care ! Cleaned the house !! Great pet sitter .”

“Leanna took such great care of my fur baby. She sent updates and photos while I was away. Thanks for making my first time with Rover so delightful and stress free. I will definitely rebook with her again.”

About: I provide quality service that meets your specific needs. Including washing your dishes, taking your trash out, and brining in your mail! I am very understanding. I will always try to work around your schedule on short notice. I accept same day cancellations! I work full time at Dentistry of Olde Towne Mon, Wed, and Fridays. In school Tuesdays and Thursdays. Pursuing a degree in Radiological Technology. I am available on the weekends. In case of an emergency I will work around your schedule! I have a fenced yard and have a friendly dog of my own. I am always happy to stay over at a client’s house if needed.
“Donna stayed with my 3 dogs for a full week, and sent me daily happy pup pics! They were calm and happy when I got home, though I'm sure they miss Donna too. ? She also kept my house in good order, no dogs on the sofa, and my hound dog didn't even dig out of the fence. Couldn't dream of a better sitter for my diggity dogs!!”

“Tracy was great. She came to meet pets, was thoughtful to review and follow my notes, arrived on time, communicated very well during her time here and sent photos. She left our home neat and tidy. We have already booked her again.”
“Jenna was great even Sage our Jack Russell that gets anxious when we leave on a trip warmed up to her quickly. Nova our other dog loved her from the moment she walked in. She left the apartment clean and very happy dogs. Jenna’s response rate and updates were 100%, I would definitely recommend having Jenna take care of your pets.”

“Manoela was great! She was able to watch our dog Max fairly last minute. She was punctual, quick to respond, and sent us photos - I could tell Max was comfortable with her! Thank you!”

“Kayleigh was fantastic! She was very communicative and super easy to work with. She was friendly and took great care of our boys. She comforted them through a surprise fireworks show in the neighborhood that otherwise would have been traumatic if they were left alone. She made our night out even better knowing our extended four legged family was well taken care of. Highly recommend and will definitely use her care again in the future!”

“Susane is an absolute jewel. I got daily pictures. Meggy was consistently spoiled: given massages and walks daily, cuddled and snuggled throughout the day and night. When we got back, Meggy is almost disappointed because she’s not getting showered with constant love all day, every single minute. Very highly recommended Susane if you want someone that is going to love your pet as their own pet.”

“My dog sitter had an issue the day before. Mary stepped in last minute and saved the day! She took incredible care of nefe and was so gracious to take such a short notice request. Absolutely recommend and will be booking her again! Thank you so much for everything!”

“Ciera was the kindest soul, very professional, communicative, extremely orderly and punctual and just by how our pups were when we returned home we can tell they were loved and treated well in our absence! Ciera is wonderful for drop-ins or for house sitting! We would trust her with either! We are grateful we found her and would love to hire her again without hesitation! Thank you a million times Ciera!❤️”

Applewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first experience of using Rover to watch our dogs and couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Cassidy. She was very communicative from giving us pictures to status updates daily and was attentive to our dogs' needs. It is really comforting to have someone watch your babies and stay at your home while you are enjoying a much needed vacation.

We have had Mark sit at our house twice now and couldn’t be more happy. We have a high energy, large, 1 year old golden retriever and Mark is excellent with him! He leaves our house as clean as we left it and it’s like he wasn’t even here when we get home (the only clue is our dog is more well behaved once we get home). He sends us pictures of our pup and is a trustworthy person to have at our home.

Lexi was amazing!! We had a sitter fall through last minute (like the day we were leaving for our trip) and thank goodness we found her. So responsive and went out of her way to come meet us within a few hours of reaching out so that we’d feel comfortable leaving our animals with her. Took great care of our babies & our home, will absolutely be using her again!

Kotryna was great! She watched my 4 month old Swissy Mitch. For starters she arrived on time. She took Mitch out regularly throughout the day. The weather was nice so she let him explore the backyard and gave him plenty of playtime in the front. I got plenty of updates during the day and a full update when she left. I am super happy with the care she provided Mitch and look forward to having her help in the future!!

Annalise was the best! She had perfect communication, always letting us know how the dogs were doing with pictures throughout the entire day. She was punctual, spent lots of time with our dogs, did everything asked and they absolutely loved her. We came home to happy pups and will be using her again. We cannot recommend her enough, 10 stars!
