“Sheena is amazing! She took care of our dog Harvey for two weeks and she did a great job. He loves her so much he was depressed when she left. We’re already booked her again.”

“Stephanie watched our very large and anxious dog for three days while we were away. She stayed in our home. She sent regular updates and asked all the right questions. She followed all directions as far as our dogs routine and needs. We came home to a clean home, as we left it! Will book again in future.”


“This was my first time using the app and was nervous leaving my babies and having someone stay at my home without knowing them. I searched through many profiles and immediately felt at ease with Jaclyn, she was responsive and proactive. We had a meet and greet and Maia instantly came to her and settled on Jaclyn’s lap while we talked logistics. I was sold when Jaclyn naturally just started petting her and said to both my pups, we’re going to have a good time together. I felt at ease leaving them with Jaclyn, she has a natural calming energy. During her time with my pups she was communicative and followed instructions perfectly. Both my boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised to find the home exactly as we left it. I highly recommend Jacklyn and will most definitely work with her in the future.”

“Peggy was wonderful with our dog. He has high anxiety and is blind and she was so good with him. She walked him multiple times, sent updates, was reliable and communicated. I highly recommend Peggy, she is kind and very responsible. I appreciated all the messages, pictures and videos of him.”
“Lucy is the best dog sitter. She sends tons of pictures and videos throughout the day, it’s so reassuring knowing my baby is in good hands. She took my request last minute and did an exceptional job. It really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would 100% rebook. 10/10”

“Chante was amazing with our menagerie of animals while we went out of the country on a cruise. She sent wonderful pictures and videos of them each day which i loved cause i missed them dearly. Also kept them active and stimulated (which can be quite a lot since it was 2 huskies and an even more hyper mixed breed), and cleaned up the fur they tend to sprinkle all over the home. Chante made it possible for me to have the peace of mind knowing my fur babies were well taken care of while I was away, and they very much loved their time with her. Highly recommend, and will definitely be utilizing her services in the future! Thank you Chante!”

About: Loving, Reliable Care for Your Pup — Now With More Time to Give! Hi there! I’ve been on Rover since 2023, and now that I’m semi-retired, I’m excited to dedicate even more of my time to caring for dogs. Spending my days with pups is one of my greatest joys — whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I share my home with my friendly dog, Kyle, who loves meeting new furry friends. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your pup will be treated like family here! Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’m here to help and make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged baby. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’m semi-retired, I have plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to each dog I care for. My day usually includes morning and evening walks, regular playtime, and lots of attention and affection throughout the day. I also build in time for feeding, potty breaks, and any special routines or instructions a pet may have. Because I already care for my own dog, Kyle, I’m used to maintaining a consistent, calm, and pet-friendly environment. Adding another pup into the routine feels seamless — I truly enjoy it, and I make sure each dog gets the care and engagement needed. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and relaxed environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — from feeding times and walks to playtime and rest. My dog, Kyle, is friendly and enjoys having company, so visiting pups always have a companion. I supervise all interactions, provide plenty of affection, and make sure each dog has their own space if they need quiet time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions carefully. I maintain the pet’s familiar routine, whether that involves walks, meals, medications, or special habits. I give them lots of attention, keep their environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. No matter the service, my goal is always the same: to make every pet feel safe, happy, and well-loved. 🐾
“This was the longest we’ve been away and Leslie was the comfort we needed to stay in our home and take care of our girl. She sent tons of pics, communicated often with questions or clarifications, and helped us enjoy our vacation. Thank you and I would highly recommend her.”

About: Throughout my life, I’ve owned many different types of pets, from birds 🦜, to cats 🐱, and dogs 🐶 and to say which ones my favorite would be unfair. I know how to treat each pet differently and uniquely and take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Whether it’s extra playtime, calm companionship, or sticking closely to feeding and walking schedules, I focus on giving pets the care they’re used to — and the attention they deserve. I’m currently working part time at the moment but I’m available for boarding on weekdays right now past 11 AM. I do same-day booking and scheduling ahead of time. I make sure that pets are kept safe, comfortable, and on their usual routine (which I’m happy to learn. I follow all care instructions carefully, maintain a clean and pet-safe environment, and give them plenty of attention and supervision as needed. I also share updates so you always know how your pet is doing. 🐾
“Catherine Z is truly an exceptional pet sitter! She took amazing care of my two French Bulldogs, giving them plenty of playtime and attention. It was clear they adored her, and I loved knowing they were in such good hands. Catherine kept me updated throughout, sending adorable pictures and videos that reassured me they were happy and well cared for. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative, I highly recommend her!”

“Shannon is a godsend. She has been SO AMAZING with my pup. Not only did he take to her quickly, but she is thorough and communicative and kept me constantly updated throughout the stay. I’m so happy I found her and will be booking again for sure!!”

“Lorena was absolutely amazing with my dog. It was my first time leaving her for more than one day and Lorena sent constant updates and photos to make me feel at ease. She took great care of my pup and home and I truly look forward to having here again with my pup. Highly, highly recommend!!”

“Josh did a great job with Millie. He was patient and attentive to her needs and she really warmed up to him. He was respectful and professional in my home and he will be my "go-to" when I need someone to house sit with my dog. Very nice and easy to work with and an excellent communicator. I wholeheartedly recommend him without any hesitation.”
“He’s the best. Professional, courteous, clean - he says his goal is that I should not know he had housesat for me and he met his goal. The house is in perfect condition when I return. He even brings in my Amazon packages! He clearly loves what he does. My dogs love him!”

About: I have loved all pets since I was little when my grandpa was a vet. I’ve always had dogs growing up and absolutely love taking care of all of them and I’m always looking for a new furry friend I’m currently working part-time and I always have extra time just laying around so I wanted to give myself a little something to do and something that I enjoy! I have 2 dogs of my own and they have a massive yard to run in and absolutely love going on walks that I take them on everyday and I would do the same and care for your pets like they are my own.
“Susana was nice and prompt. She showed up to all Aurue on time and mostly listened to my direction however, I think there was a bit of a language barrier, and we had complications around communication several times. At one point there was some serious confusion that caused me a lot of stress. I appreciate her helping to take care of Aurie, but unfortunately due to Aurie being so young and the communication barriers we encountered, I don’t think she was the best fit for us.”

“Thank you so much, Maura! We truly appreciate the wonderful care you gave our dogs, Linda and Honey, during the 8 days you spent with them. You were attentive, responsible, and so loving with them, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend Maura to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We are very grateful for everything you did!”

“Darius did some house sitting for me. Would highly recommend. Was great with my pup took her on long walks and left the place spic and span. Will definitely be rebooking in the future with him.”

Bay Colony pet parents share their Rover experiences
Betzy was AMAZING. She took such good care of my dog Kenji and cat Mogi - she sent me pictures everyday and constantly updated, and with my permission even took Kenji on a bunch of adventures. I think Kenji may have been upset when boring old me replaced Betzy when I get home LOL. Betzy is awesome and I will definitely be hiring her services again for sure :)

This was our first time using Rover, and Cheryl was our pet sitter for our Christmas vacation getaway. We couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of our "babies". She's a lovely woman, great with animals (we have both a dog & cat) and even our neighbors who ran into her regularly said she was wonderful. Very glad we found her and would never hesitate to hire her again in the future. I loved the photos she sent regularly to keep us in the loop, and the house looked great when we got home. 5 star all the way!!
Josh did a great job with Millie. He was patient and attentive to her needs and she really warmed up to him. He was respectful and professional in my home and he will be my "go-to" when I need someone to house sit with my dog. Very nice and easy to work with and an excellent communicator. I wholeheartedly recommend him without any hesitation.
Rayna was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was easy to communicate with and made me feel completely at ease leaving my pets in her care. She did a fantastic job keeping me updated on how my dog and cat were doing, sending lots of detailed messages and tons of adorable pictures throughout her stay. It was so comforting to know they were in such good hands while I was away. Rayna is professional, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I’ll definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!
