“Amber was excellent as my dog sitter. She dog sat and took great care of my dogs. I have a very anxious dog and Amber’s energy put my dog at ease right away! She also took good care of the house, washed the guest room bed sheets, etc. Her communication was top notch! Highly recommend her for overnight sits!”
“We are so grateful to have found Laurie! She took such wonderful care of our dogs while we were away—attentive, thoughtful, and incredibly kind. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. Laurie provided great updates, was always communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure our pups were happy and comfortable. We came home to relaxed, content dogs and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust. Thank you, Laurie!”
“Winta is always the best!! She takes great care of our pups, always sends updates with pictures and videos and always leaves our house cleaned up and ready for us when we return! We will always book with her for all of our trips! Truly 5 stars and I would give her more if that was an option!”
About: Hi my name is Abi. I’ve spent the last year caring for dogs of all kinds, and there’s nothing I take more seriously than making sure a pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. One thing that genuinely sets me apart: I’m experienced handling multiple dogs at once. Whether you have a duo that plays off each other’s energy or a household with very different personalities, I know how to keep the dynamic balanced and every dog feeling attended to. I am a college student currently home trying to make extra money! my time is genuinely flexible. I’m available every morning, afternoon and evening on weekdays, and largely wide open on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into that rhythm, I can stop by for midday check ins on days I have lighter schedules, and commit to longer visits or overnight stays when needed. Dogs thrive on consistency, and I build my availability around making sure they get that When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine. I follow your routines as closely as possible. feeding schedules, walk routes, commands your dog responds to, because familiarity keeps pets calm and settled. I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes before any outdoor time, and I keep a close eye on interactions when multiple dogs are involved to make sure everyone stays comfortable. You’ll get updates and photos so you’re never left wondering.
“Bertha was a wonderful dog sitter for my baby Grace. I could not have asked for anyone better. She provided daily updates and pictures. When Grace was not eating, Bertha reached out to me regarding her concern. Eventually, Grace became more comfortable with Bertha and began eating normally again. It was reassuring because Bertha knew what to do in that situation. Having a stranger in my house watching my dog while I was away for a week had me a little worried. After speaking with Bertha during our meet-and-greet, I felt more at ease knowing Grace would be in great hands. A+++”
“Blanca was amazing. She was so patient with our nervous and anxious dog. All of our animals, cats and dogs, received their medicine and all special food needs were met.”
“Corrina and Lucy bonded quickly which is amazing because being a rescue, she is always “on guard”. We felt very comfortable leaving our home and our fur baby in Corinna’s care! We will be requesting her services again!”
“Querhea is an absolute delight and pleasure to work with. She took care of my babies while I was in surgery and they love her. She even stayed past her scheduled time until we got home from surgery the next day. I will be booking her for all our family needs”
“I have never been able to leave the house with such peace of mind as Nita gave to us. We gave Nita a complicated housesitting situation - multiple animals, multiple species, an extended length of time - and she excelled. She kept us updated with photos and information, she took careful care of our house, and she was a joy to interact with. Our animals were spoiled and so happy that they miss her now! Highly recommend her services.”
“Kristen is dependable and clearly loves pets. She watched our senior cat and dog while we were out of town for a few days. She is communicative and professional. Would recommend! Thank you, Kristen and hope to see you soon!”
“I am so happy to have found Renee. I am traveling more than in the past, and I have complete peace of mind that my fur babies are being well taken care of. Renee is very responsive, sends me updates, and my dogs are excited to see her and her mom. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of different kinds of animals from turtles to pit bulls with 11 puppies, as well as old dogs with fears or diseases who need special medicine. I am currently working part time and I’m still in school. I would be available 1-5 on weekdays and whatever times we can work out on weekends I do live in an apartment so my services would either have to be dog walking or house sitting at the clients house. I care for animals like I would care for a child: making sure they are fed, cleaned, comfortable, and frequent bathroom breaks.
“Rex did an amazing job watching our home and pups. Our pups don't get along so it's tough for us to find someone willing to take on that responsibility. She made sure our dogs were safe and had plenty of attention. Our house was also taken care and clean. We highly recommend Rex and will be contacting her for future trips.”
“Ambar has been an amazing sitter for our Lola. She was very responsive, provided daily updates with pictures, and was fully transparent with how sitting would work with her job. She gave us plenty peace of mind, much more than with other sitters we've booked simply by her communication and commitment to the services. We also noticed our Lola was happy and not stressed from our departure, giving us a clear indication she was in great and loving hands. Although she didn't have to, Ambar also went above and beyond by leaving the house in a tidy, clean, and welcoming home as it was when first arrived. Ambar is fantastic, we will 1000% be reaching out for her services if available. Overall rating is 10 out of 5 if we could. Thank you for watching our pup!!”
“Maya was absolutely amazing!!!! I was gone for 5 days and she provided excellent care to my fur baby in my home. She provided daily updates and photographs of my baby. When I arrived home, my home was clean and everything was in perfect order. She brought all delivered packages, and mail, inside the house. She put my mind at ease while I was away because she took excellent care of my fur baby. I highly recommend her and will use her again in the future.”
“Hannah was great with our girls arrived on time and was informative through her visit. I instantly felt at ease with her in our home as though we had been old friends. I would for sure use her in the near future. Thank you Hannah!!!”

Arlington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our pups had a wonderful experience while we were away. We have hired a few different Rovers to take care of them but there was always a level of anxiety. Sometimes they would not eat or stay in certain rooms but not this time. Bigs thanks to Renee for a wonderful experience.
We had such a wonderful experience with Kyra caring for our dog Dewey and cat Lily while staying at our home. She was incredibly communicative from start to finish, sending my partner and me detailed updates twice a day along with tons of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was how thoughtful and attentive she was — she asked great questions, paid close attention to routines and details, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about both of our pets equally. It can sometimes feel like one pet naturally gets more attention than the other, but she made both Dewey and Lily feel so loved and cared for. We came home to happy pets and a well cared-for home, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and detail-oriented.
Zaida provided excellent care for our dogs while we were out of country on vacation for five days. We have a dog who can be fear-reactive to new people, and she took the time to do a drop-in to ensure a positive first meeting before we even booked. We truly appreciated her patience! She was very professional and communicative throughout the entire process. The daily updates and photos were great, and we felt totally at ease. We will definitely book with her again!
Angela was heaven sent. I just recently lost my pug, one week before she was due to take care of both of my babies. Her kindness to my Sheba knowing that she was sad she showed her so much love attention to the point when I got home Sheba was crying for her at door! Angela you’re apart of our pack now Sheba said so lol. She has great heart . Thank you for helping me .
Brooke watched our three dogs again, this time on New Year’s Eve. One of my dogs is very scared of fireworks and Brooke was able to give him his medication and was so amazing at keeping an eye on him and our other boys. She’s always communicative and gives us updates. LOVE HER!
Amber is a wonderful person! She loves our sweet pup as much as we do. She feels like one of the family! She stayed at our home for two weeks and we had no worries. She always leaves things as good as, or better than, when we left. And she is a wonderful communicator in words and pictures.
Reagan was so good with our boy, Ricky Bobby!! Ricky Bobby has a few quirks like most dogs do, but one of his more notable ones is that he tends to anxiety chew on himself when we’re out of the house, and sometimes breaks skin if not stopped. Reagan did a fantastic job watching out for this behavior and kept him calm and content through her time in our home. Reagan was also very communicative throughout the visit and sent multiple pictures and updates of the goings on. Overall, we could tell that Ricky Bobby was very comfortable and happy to be hanging out with his newest bestie Reagan, and we’re glad to have found another trustworthy sitter that loves our dog as much as we do!
