“Absolutely wonderful with my cat. He normally doesn’t open up to pet sitters right away because of separation anxiety but he opened up quickly with Alyssa. She took great care of my baby boy and kept me constantly updated on him”
“Cyd came home happy, healthy, and relaxed. Daniel kept me informed about her every day, which was especially appreciated on this first stay. I plan to leave Cyd with Daniel again — no higher praise than that!”
“Jessica and Justin are wonderful friendly, energetic people. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with them and their own dog. We met ahead of time to be sure everyone liked each other. After dropping off my dog I asked if she could possibly trim his nails. I had made a grooming appointment but it wasn't for another 2 weeks, and my dog was slipping on hard wood floors. She happily offer to see if her groomer could squeeze him in for a quick nail trim. She was able to and I paid a small fee to the groomer. I plan to bring Charlie back for any future trips. A+ experience!”
“Doris is an excellent dog sitter. She is very friendly, responsive to information requests, and considerate to pets. Yoshi had a very good time with her and her dog, Spooky.”
“Karen was absolutely wonderful with our girl Gracie. We have never left her with anyone before. Karen made sure we had a meet and greet to make sure Gracie and Karen’s pups and cats got along. She sent pictures and updates everyday! Also gave me some suggestions on how to deal with her “accidents” in the house. We will definitely use Karen again as Gracie was so comfortable with her and her fur babies. We loved her!!”
“Matthew was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Teddie! From the start, he was incredibly kind and communicative, which helped us feel at ease. Teddie is an older pup who recently had back surgery, and Matthew was not only understanding of his needs but also made sure he was comfortable and well cared for throughout the stay. It was clear Teddie felt at home with him right away. We’re so grateful for the thoughtful care Matthew provided—thank you for taking such good care of our sweet boy!”
“Rocky had an EXCELLENT stay with Courtney and a great, fun time. Rocky is an older dog with some minor health concerns and Courtney made me feel completely comfortable. Courtney is so friendly, competent with a lovely fenced in yard for dogs. She even sent me adorable pictures throughout Rocky's stay. I was completely at ease while Rocky was there. I highly recommend Courtney!”
“Sarah is an excellent communicator and very careful. We had a meet and greet within 24 hours of my request to book where she asked lots of questions to ensure Cooper’s stay would go smoothly. She sent photos and daily updates and was flexible with pickup. I will definitely rebook with Sarah.”
“Sheryl and her husband took care of our dog for a weekend while we were away and they were great! Sheryl was quick to respond and sent photos of our dog every day. She was very friendly and flexible when our trip extended a few hours. We are very happy with our first experience using Rover and would definitely book with them again!”
“Cardi was amazing he sent pictures and let us know things were going good. He was very understanding when our flights got canceled and i would definitely recommend him as a dog sitter . Thank you cardi for making this trip worry free for us”
“Anely was very informative, professional in taking care of our Siberian Husky, Orka. She sent us videos, photos, every time she took our pet for a walk and more while he is resting. She let us know about all the details, how much food our pet had, how much he slept.. I took my dog for a walk before leaving him with Anely. As soon as I dropped him off, he sat next to Anely on the porch and starting gazing the street. That there told me that Orka trusted Anely from the first minute. Also I could easily tell Anely was enjoying our pet's stay the whole time. On top of the detailed info she provided during the stay, these two things were very important for me. I strongly recommend, and will not hesitate to contact her next time we need someone to take care of our dog. Thank you!!”
“Joseph is great with my dog Crew. He always keeps in touch about how Crew is doing and sends pictures to keep me updated. Crew always comes back happy and healthy. I would recommend Joseph to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”
“Cristina was amazing!!! Yeti was the ring bearer at our wedding and the day would not have been possible without Cristina. She picked him up right after the ceremony and dropped him off the next day. He had a great stay with her and her pup. I could not recommend her enough!”
“Sierra was great! My dog Gus came home happy, exercised, and with a well-needed trim :) Sierra made sure to communicate often and sent many photos throughout the weekend. I will definitely use her services again.”
“ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL DOGSITTER!! My pups are my babies and I would definitely without hesitation book Lynne again in a heartbeat. She sent me the sweetest photos throughout my vacation that made me feel like the pups were right there with me and I could tell they were happy. After my flight got delayed by a day, she was super sweet and accommodating, ensuring me that pups were still okay. Would definitely book with Lynne again!! :)”
“I can’t say enough about how amazing Susan is. I needed to find a new sitter after my person of 5 years retired. After reading Susan’s reviews, my husband and I took our dog for a meet and greet. Within 5 minutes of talking to her we knew this was our person. Susana sent us daily updates and pictures. This was so comforting for us we were overseas and missing our dog. We are already talking about our next family vacation and before I book the flights, I will be booking Susan.”
About: I no longer have pets of my own. My children are grown ups and out of the house on their own. My home is empty. I still love my freedom but would love to take on sitting your pet. I work from home Monday-Fri and have lots of free time to take care of your pet in my home. Give me a shot please! My yard is not fenced in, however I am fully able to take your pet outside on a leash and for a walk to potty.
“Jessica and her family have taken care of our pup on a few occasions. We feel very comfortable knowing she is in great hands. She gets lots of love from her kids and sometimes gets to make new dog friends. Jessica gives frequent updates and sends pictures/videos. Thank you for taking such great care of our Kiwi :)”

Barrington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our two dogs, Bowie and Lana had another wonderful stay with Geof! They seem right at home and get lots of walks and sun baths. Our dog Bowie was finicky about her food the first day but Geof went above and beyond to help her feel comfortable and she got back into her routine. We can’t thank Geof enough for taking such great care of them!
