“Ria is such a sweet soul. Felt completely safe with her in our home and taking care of our big baby. He was the same haply dog as when we left and that's really all we can ask of anyone. We will be sure to contact Ria first if we need someone again!”
“We cannot be more grateful for the awesome care that G gave to Charlie while we were gone! It was especially important to us since our pup had an amputation recently. Charlie got lots of love, walks and play time with their dog Koda. We had a lot of updates and great communication. Bonus was we found out he was our neighbor!!! Highly recommend having G take care of your pup.”
“Morgan did an amazing job taking care of my two golden retrievers and my home while I was away. One of my goldens had just turned one and unexpectedly went into heat the week before, but Morgan went above and beyond to ensure she was well cared for—diligently changing her diapers every 4-6 hours and every night. I’m incredibly grateful for her availability on such short notice, as well as her positivity and responsiveness throughout. Thank you again, Morgan!”
“Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by Ms Laura for dog/house sitting! From start to finish, she was a fantastic communicator, keeping us updated with regular check-ins and adorable photos of our pups. Our dogs were not only well-cared for but also groomed and had their nails trimmed—above and beyond what we expected! Returning home was a delight, as the house was spotless and impeccably clean. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our pets and home truly stood out. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you for making our time away worry-free!”
“Sophie was amazing!! We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter!! She was very nice, responsive, helpful, and just a joy to have stay in our home!! We will only be using her moving forward!! Highly recommend!!”
“Jasmine was a tremendous house sitter while I was away for the weekend- She consistently provided pictures and updates and was easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel was great with our pup while we were away for a long weekend. Lots of updates and pictures throughout the day and the house was spotless and pup happy when we returned. I would definitely recommend Rachel and book again.”
“Liz was awesome! She was respectful of our home and left our place as clean as it was when we left. She took Myla on many walks and played with her throughout the day. We were very happy with Liz!”
About: I am a life long dog person and have cared for friends’ and family’s pets for years. I am a dog uncle to two wonderful pups, Lily and Momo, who love to stay with uncle James! I have a full time 9-5 job at a law firm, but am available weekends as well as any day of the week outside of normal working hours. I am very good with pets and can visit with them, take your pups for walks, stay with them while you are away, and give them the Uncle James treatment!
“Leslie took care of our three dogs during a vacation that was longer than we normally take. She took great care of our three dogs and our house. I could tell from our communication that she really got to know our dogs and that she truly cares for them. She uses good judgment and I feel confident that she can handle anything that comes up in our absence. I will definitely use her again and recommend her highly! Thanks, Leslie!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life (sometimes 6 at a time!) and currently I’m a proud dog mom to my rescue pup, Junior. He’s taught me a lot about patience, love, and managing special needs like administering meds and dog reactivity. I take pet care seriously (but always with joy!) and treat every animal like my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, chill couch time, or just needs someone calm and reliable, I’ve got you covered. I genuinely adore animals and would be so happy to care for yours! I use the Rover app myself for walks and boarding, so I understand the importance of communication and finding a sitter that you can trust. I am a freelance chef and took the next 3 months off work to visit family in Charleston, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I respect the owners care instructions to ensure a smooth transition for your pet. I log everything on the app to ensure trust and safety protocols .
“We had a great visit with Aniston! She was super communicative during her stay with photos and messages about our pups. She left the house in perfect condition as well! Would highly recommend her and hope to use her again in the near future!”
About: Hi! My name is Fatin, I have over 10 years of hands on experience caring for animals, pet sitting and dog walking has become more than just a service I offer it’s something I truly love. What started as helping out friends, family, and neighbors with their pets has grown into me wanting to try to make this a full time thing! Throughout the years, I’ve looked after a wide variety of animals—dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just spending quality time while their owners are away, I make it a priority to treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has its own personality, preferences, and routines, and I take the time to learn what makes each one feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m so excited to meet your sweet fur baby’s, feel free to message me about any questions or concerns :) My schedule is super open as I’m a SAHM, my husband works out of town so I have lots of time in my day to pamper and play with your pups! I’m available all days and nights, and am willing to work with any schedule, I can also pick up/drop off if needed. I have a pretty open floor plan, so no worries about your pup being crammed up in the house plenty of space to run, as well as a large grassy area behind our house. There is also a fenced in dog park in my neighborhood if your pup prefers off leash time! My house is a very calm environment, we love our daily walks and baking time, if allowed your pup will probably come home with a baked doggy treat!
“We had a family emergency, followed by a dog sitter cancellation and Samantha came to the rescue. The dogs were comfortable with her from get acquainted to our delayed arrival home. We received photos, attention to detail, and follow-up after Samantha had gone home. ALL GOOD!”
“Grace was wonderful! She took great care of my Paisley (and my house) and was very flexible with my schedule. She provided great feedback throughout my trip that gave me peace of mind. I’ll definitely ask her to stay with my dog again.”
“Mia was amazing! She came over to meet our pup, Sasha. She followed all the instructions and continued working on the training we've started with Sasha. Mia even washed the towels and bed sheets she used, and remade the bed! Above and beyond! We can't wait to book Mia again!”

James M.
“James did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my two cats! One of them is very shy and usually hides from new people, but James was so patient, gentle, and kind that she eventually came out of her shell and warmed up to him. It really meant a lot to see her so comfortable. My other cat is the total opposite— he is super playful and full of energy. James made sure to give him plenty of attention and playtime, keeping him entertained for hours. It’s clear that James truly loves animals and understands their different personalities and needs. I came home to two very happy and well-cared-for cats. I highly recommend James to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring pet sitter!”

Christian W.
“Chrissy took care of our German Shepherd for a week while we were on vacation. She kept us updated with photos and videos and timely communication. Lucy is high energy and requires a lot of attention, and Chrissy made sure to give Lucy several walks each day and lots of play time. She even taught her a few tricks that we she still knows today. We would highly recommend Chrissy to anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter ANY day.”

Avondale pet parents share their Rover experiences
I had a great experience with Rachel dogsitting at my house! She was attentive and met my dog before the weekend to make both me and my dog comfortable. She sent plenty of pictures, went on walks, and played in the backyard. I will definitely book Rachel again in the future!
Mia was absolutely wonderful! We recently adopted a black lab, Maggie, and this was our first time using a house sitter. Mia was super flexible on timing—ahead of the sit for a meet and greet, as well as arrival and departure. Maggie is a little cautious with strangers in our house but warmed right up to Mia and by all accounts didn't blink an eye while we were out of town. When we returned, Maggie seemed like her regular self and the house was spotless and well taken care of—Mia definitely went above and beyond to take care of things. Mia kept us updated throughout the sit, sent pictures/videos of Maggie, and was very responsive. We definitely hope to use Mia again for future sits, and would recommend her to others, too!
We had an incredible experience with Sarah! She was so attentive to all of our dog notes and made us feel totally at ease while we were away. She sent regular updates (with the BEST photos!) and truly treated our pup like her own. When our flight was delayed, she went above and beyond to accommodate us last minute-we were so grateful. She’ll be our first call from now on. Truly the best! 🐾
Chanda and Martin were AMAZING! Chanda was super communicative throughout the whole process and sent us lots of updates and pictures during the sitting. They were super attentive to Zeus’ needs and he looked like he enjoyed all the love and snuggles! We came home to a happy and well taken care of pup - highly recommend! 🤗
Olivia went above and beyond: sending us sweet updates, keeping the house spotless, and most importantly, giving our dogs all the attention, exercise, and snuggles they’re used to (maybe even more!). We came home to two very happy pups and a well taken care of home. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and truly excellent at what she does — Olivia is it. We’re already hoping she’s free next time we travel!
Kalin was awesome! She was very thoughtful and asked great questions while watching my dog Rufus. It stormed quite a bit when she was in town and she did a great job taking initiative to keep him calm. Rufus also just had surgery a week and a half prior, and she did great administering additional medication. I came back to a very happy dog and clean apartment. Cannot recommend Kalin enough, will definitely be using her again!
