“Lawton did a fantastic job watching our dogs. They were happy when we returned and well taken care of. She took them on numerous walks/hikes, played fetch in the yard, and gave our elderly dog extra attention. She took great care of our home as well. She sent daily updates as well Would highly recommend her and plan to use her again”
“Alexandria was a phenomenal pet sitter! We felt completely at ease and were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our animals were in such good hands. She cared for them as if they were her own—attentive, playful, and always keeping our dog company. It’s clear our pets love her and feel comfortable around her. We’ll absolutely hire her again for any future travel!”
“This was my first time using Rover and what a blessing Cynthia was! I have a rescue dog and she is newer to us and Cynthia not only was great about communicating but also gave great feedback on what we can continue to do with her as a rescue dog to help her adapt. In addition she also took some super cute photos and our dog seem to thrive! We couldn't be happier and hope to use her again.”
“Ava was a lifesaver and a great sitter for my two pups. I had a dog sitter cancel and she stepped in at the last minute. She was very responsive and sent updates often. I will definitely ask her to sit with my pups again.”
“Thomas was professional and provided excellent care from the first message to his time spent with Owen. It was not your standard "house sitting" since he did not have to stay overnight but provided the help needed while I was away for the day. He came to meet us first so he could learn more about Owen and the things to make their time together go smoothly. Owen had a great time with Thomas playing outside at his house and then was able to get him home safely to sleep in his own bed. I appreciate the care Thomas provided and was so helpful to ensure Owen was comfortable with him. I look forward to having him watch Owen next time.”
“They are so reliable and I feel reassured when they’re staying at our house with our two dogs. Great communication and leave the house in great shape and pups well loved. Thank you!”
“Kate is the only person I use to take care of my 3 dogs. I think I’ve used her about 6 times now, all for multiple days. They all have different personalities and one is scared of people but loves Kate. She’s responsible, communicates well, and always leaves my house better than when I left!”
About: I typically bring my partner, Eshap. We are both cat and dog lovers! A bit more about us below :) Emily - Cat lover! Grew up with cats and i'm currently still taking care of my babies Dusty and Cloudy (brother and sister) who are almost 18 years old. Dusty has medical issues so I'm comfortable with administering medication if need be. Ive also house and cat sat for several friends and am very familiar with the way kitties like to play, sleep, eat, and interact with humans. Have dog sat for about 8 different clients, and some friends and enjoy taking care of dogs too :) Eshap - I grew up with a total of 4 dogs over the years. I love them all dearly! One loving and loud beagle, one mutt, one sweet and chill dachshund, and one very high-energy silver lab and pitbull mix. Have dealt with puppies all the way to very senior dogs. I love cats and have lived with many over the years with roommates. I have pet sat both dogs and cats over the years, making sure they are loved, played with, fed, and walked. As for house sitting, I am clean and tidy, and am a lover of plants. I will be the one keeping your plants alive and thriving! I have around 15 of my own. Having two peoples schedules allows us to spend more time with your pets! We both work part time, so someone is typically home with them or taking the dog on an adventure :) We follow all guidelines that are given by the pet parent about security, rules of the home, pet care, and whatever else may be requested.
“Rosemary was fabulous as a sitter for our pup!! She did all the dog stuff and even helped with package delivery and plant watering!! Very sweet person and cared for the house superbly too.”
About: I work Monday through Friday, and I have evenings available every Thursday and Friday (along with every other weekend). How can I help you during this time? I own my home, and I am experienced in keeping cats separate when they’re only visiting. When possible, it would be ideal to keep your pet in your home - but they’re also welcome here!
“We were very fortunate to meet Jeremy and have him take care of our Golden Retriever, Zeus. He went the extra mile to come over and let me show him how Zeus is exercise him. He updated me on what they were doing each day. I would recommend him to anyone.”
“Ryan was a wonderful companion for our dog Bailey. She played Frisbee and tug with her daily. She communicated with us every day with pictures. I felt very confident that Bailey was well cared for while we were gone. I'm so happy to have found her!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs of any kind ever since I can remember! I have been working at a local daycare and boarding facility for two years, and have been taking care of neighbor and family dogs for my whole life, I promise to give you an above and beyond experience! ❤️ I work part time at a local daycare and boarding facility, so I have plenty of time on my hands! I am home from college for the summer, so I am willing to spend as much time as possible with your pet! I have a sweet elderly dog named Olive to keep your pet company! And most importantly, I have a large yard to keep your dog active and on their feet!
“Lesley was a life saver! We have 2 dogs, a cat, 2 mini donkeys, and a horse and she cared for all of them while we were gone. She even sent pictures of our babies which I love receiving while away from them. She gave them lots of cuddles and love; even if the cat may have forced her to cuddle more than anticipated 😅 we will definitely be reaching out to Lesley again whenever we need someone we can trust to watch our four legged babies!”

We highly recommend Lawton. She was great with our almost-human :) family member! We received daily updates and photos from her stay with our dog. Moreover, Lawton went beyond just keeping an eye on him and our home - she watered our vegetable garden and set up wire fencing to protect it from the neighborhood squirrels and bunnies without any of this had been specifically asked by us. Thank you, Lawton - you are hired again :)
Lindsey was great with our dog! He can be a little shy and takes some time to warm up, but she was super patient and made him feel comfortable. She kept us updated, took great care of him, and we could tell he was in good hands. We really appreciated how kind and attentive she was, and we’d definitely trust her to watch him again!
Wow! This was our first experience with Rover and we were very fortunate to find Jeremy. Everything about the experience was first class. I highly recommend Jeremy, but I selfishly do so with caution. Everyone will want to hire him and he won’t be available for us next time. Definitely a 5 star experience. Jeremy was prompt, communicative, respectful, attentive to our requests, also to the animals, and flexible in his schedule. Thank you Jeremy.
Brianna was absolutely wonderful! I have a very high energy dog who needs a lot of interaction and walks, and Brianna definitely gave him that and kept him active throughout the day. She took him on several long walks and sent me photos during and after each one. I could tell he was having the time of his life. I will definitely use her again.
Tarah did an outstanding job house and dog sitting for us while we were away. From the start, she was dependable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything was taken care of. Most importantly, Jupiter and Elbert were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned home, which says everything. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. The house was also spotless and well looked after. We truly appreciated Tarah’s kindness, responsibility, and attention to detail, and we would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!
Thomas was professional and provided excellent care from the first message to his time spent with Owen. It was not your standard "house sitting" since he did not have to stay overnight but provided the help needed while I was away for the day. He came to meet us first so he could learn more about Owen and the things to make their time together go smoothly. Owen had a great time with Thomas playing outside at his house and then was able to get him home safely to sleep in his own bed. I appreciate the care Thomas provided and was so helpful to ensure Owen was comfortable with him. I look forward to having him watch Owen next time.
Shruti was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my dog and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos, which I really appreciated- it was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pet!
Anna went above and beyond taking care of our dogs while we were on vacation! She asked very thorough questions ahead of our trip, which showed she cared about taking care of our dogs and our home to our satisfaction. She sent lots of pictures while we were away which was comforting, and left our home clean and organized. We were very happy with her service and comfortable having her in our home.
Isabelle did a wonderful job staying with Lily for 6 nights recently. She was sweet, caring and made our time away less stressful. She asked questions if she had any and left our house just as she had found it. We appreciated her caring for Lilly and the photos and text messages. I highly recommend Isabelle and will use her again! Thanks Isabelle for doing such a fabulous job!
