“We've used Matthew more than once for petsitting our 4 fur babies (2 dogs and 2 cats), and will continue to do so! Very good communication and super punctual. We got lots of updates to show how much fun our pets were having with him.”
“Julie was incredible as a dog sitter while we were out for the holidays. She walked him and fed him, fed our cats too and sent photos and we even came home to clean dishes! She went above and beyond. Highly recommend Julie and would hire her again!”
“Wonderful! Very attentive to my poodles. Helped to address a food issue when one of mine went on a hunger strike. Very respectful of my home. She stayed for 3 days and 2 nites. Great communication! Love her!!”
“Cole did a great job watching the house and pet sitting! He spent lots of time with our dogs and was very communicative. He was also very flexible with our schedule which was very appreciated!”
“Emelie was absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of Tito and kept me updated with adorable pictures of him having the best time and sleeping comfortably. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, safe, and truly loved. I couldn’t recommend her enough—10/10, hands down!”
“Braydon took very good care of our dogs during our 2 weeks abroad, at our house. The dogs were happy when we got home which was comforting for us. Braydon was very responsible and sent many daily updates which we appreciated so much knowing the dogs one senior and one much younger were taken care of and healthy. We would definitely recommend and book again. Thank you Braydon and Rover.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs. They have been a part of my life throughout adulthood. Having pets in my family has been a significant part of life. Currently, I’m a mom to 2 cats. I bond with animals easily. I currently have a full-time job. I’m available evenings and weekends. My kids are adults so I have free time to spend with your pets. I’m available to care for your pets in their home. I enjoy walking dogs. I can possibly go to your home during my lunch hour. I work from home on Wednesday’s and Friday’s.
“Alexander was wonderful! He followed instructions. Slade loved having a male to probably play a little tougher than what I do with him. Alexander even watered my outside plants. I know Slade enjoyed Alexander taking care of him and being a couch potato. I would TOTALLY recommend Alexander to take care of Slade again!”
“Kadence is an amazing sitter! I have four adorable fur babies, and they can be quite challenging, but Kadence handled everything with ease. I can't wait to book her again for our pet care needs she's simply the best!”
“William is awesome. He took great care of Brooklyn, was super responsive and communicative, and respectful of the house. Very professional. Also took amazing pics of Brooklyn and should consider a second career as a pet photographer”
“Nichole was amazing! She kept my four animals for a few days, and when I came back home, the house was clean and the pets were happy. She was communicative everyday and took great care of my pets! Would highly recommend!”
“Lindsey was amazing! They took excellent care of my dog, kept me updated with pictures, and made sure my pup was happy and comfortable. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“We recently had Samuel look after our dog in our home while we traveled for a few days. He offered a meet and greet and explained very thoroughly how he’d care for our dog. He listened and asked questions about our dog’s routine to make sure he provides the best care. While we were traveling, we received daily text messages with pictures and updates of our dog. We had a great experience working with Sam, Thank You for taking such amazing care of our dog and home. Mini really enjoyed your company! We will be in contact again!”
“Christina is excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and videos that completely eased my mind. When I returned, [Dog’s Name] was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious that she treated them like family. The house was spotless, routines were followed perfectly. She is very reliable, kind, and truly attentive. She came out three times to get accustom to our dogs routine prior to us leaving out of town. She is everything you could hope for in a pet sitter. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pup, and I highly recommend her.”
“Barrett was amazing!! He was very good with Milo and Otis! Great with communication and very trustworthy! 10/10 recommend if you are needing someone to watch your babies!! Thank you!”
“Abby was great! She provided regular updates and photos throughout the time she spent watching my dog. She took great care of the house as well and even watered my plants while I was out of town. She is extremely friendly and kept the house extremely clean. I would definitely recommend Abby and absolutely hope to use her again!”
“He was right on time and avalible at very last minute after I got called into work and even stayed later then he was supposed to after I had to stay late for work, I will definitely be using him again.”
Arboretum pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kellie is a fabulous pet sitter. She is professional and courteous. It is obvoius that Kellie loves dogs and she really engages with them. Kellie took care of our mini labradoodle, Lucca, for 10 days. Kellie sent pictures of her and Lucca engaging and playing ball. We enjoyed our vacation more knowing that Lucca was having fun with his new friend. Kellie also kept the house immaculate which is another perk. We will definitely use Kellie again and highly recommend her for pet sitting.
Emelie was absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of Tito and kept me updated with adorable pictures of him having the best time and sleeping comfortably. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, safe, and truly loved. I couldn’t recommend her enough—10/10, hands down!
Matthew is my go-to guy! He is awesome with my old doggo, even carrying him when his legs have given out. My place always looks exactly as I left it when I come back. Best of all, Matthew has gone above and beyond to work with my schedule changes. He's just the best!
One word to describe Pauline is Fabulous!!! She has a ton of experience and knowledge when it comes to dogs. My older dog now needs insulin twice a day and Pauline was up to the task. She house sat the dogs and did everything we ask of her. our dogs weren't exactly friendly but she managed them so well that she had them walking the neighborhood, a first for us!! Pauline has a very nice outgoing personality that makes it super easy to communicate with her and is the nicest person you'll ever meet. We were blown away by just how good she really was, we will never use anyone else!!!!!!
This was my first time using Rover, and I needed a cat sitter at the last minute. Kristina was fantastic! She communicated regularly and sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. She even provided a private room for Chloe to help reduce stress, which I really appreciated. Kristina went above and beyond to make sure Chloe was comfortable and cared for. Highly recommend!
Wow, I can not believe the great job that she did and will definitely be using her services again. I was left a little in a predicament when another sitter backed out in me just 3 days before I was supposed to be gone for a week. Denise answered my last minute plea for help and we did a meet and greet with the animals. She did a great job taking care of them and I am sure they will miss her especially Coco, who she always took on walks. I highly recommend her.
Karen was absolutely wonderful! We received frequent updates and took such amazing care of our pup as shown through the photos. She left the house immaculately clean and even washed her bedding. We were not expecting that! We will definitely use her again and she was an amazing fit with our reactive pup.
Stephanie is such an amazing person to rely on for help with your pets. Since moving to San Antonio, we have struggled to find a pet sitter we can trust with our cat and elderly dog. Stephanie took the time to meet with us and go over each detail about caring for them. She was extremely communicative and respectful of our home. She is also extremely knowledgeable about pets in general. We’re so grateful to have met her, and we look forward to working with her again. Thank you, Stephanie!
We could not possibly have asked for a better sitter. I was extremely nervous about leaving my babies alone for a week, but they adored Alexandra. At one point I was beginning to wonder if they preferred her to us! :) Because I felt so secure that my pets were being loved and well cared for I had a fantastic vacation. She was prompt, she complied with request for photos, she got to know each of the animals and put up with my corny jokes. She’s a gem of a sitter. I will 100% be hiring her again. I just hope she’s got space in her calendar! If you’re nervous about leaving your pets alone—Alexandra is the sitter for you. You’ll have nothing to worry about!
Cryslynn was seriously one of the best rovers we’ve had the pleasure of booking. She was very communicative, attentive, and really took care of our boys like they were her own. Would recommend her to anyone trying to find a reliable Rover for their fur babies!
