“This was our second time using Jamie and things went very well just like the first time. We have her booked again for travel in November and January. She has been easy to work and communicate with, and the pups seem like all went well when we return home. We look forward to the consistency of the same person, so as we travel more frequently than we have in the past they feel safe and secure, and not stressed by a constant change of sitters.”

“I can not say enough great things about Libah. She made my trip so much better because I had no worries about leaving her with my boy Journey. She provided daily pictures and messages. Some days there were multiple communications. She was absoluty great. I would without a doubt, would without hesitation use her again. Trust me if you are looking for a sitter, she is the one you should go to!!”

“Claire did a great job watching our toy poodle. While we were on vacation she sent us daily updates including cute pics of Chance! Thanks Claire for making our first experience with Rover a good one!!”

Lara H.

“Vanessa was professional and had great communication throughout the entire process. We felt very comfortable with her in our home and watching our sweet pup.”

Jennifer K.

“Erika helped us out in a pinch when we needed to make travel arrangements last minute. She watched our two big dogs in our home for a weekend. One of our dogs needs special attention (medicine, lots of physical and cognitive exercise), and Erika did a fantastic job. Erika was professional, communicative, kind and caring, and attentive to our dogs' needs. I felt completely reassured that our dogs were being well cared for. When we returned home, our pups were tired and well behaved. I'm sure they miss her already. We'd work with Erika again in a heartbeat.”

Erin L.

“Having Bailey housesit for us was such a gift. Her communication was great, she helped problem solve kitty situations while we were away, and I knew our kittos were in good caring hands. We came home after being away for just over a week to a tidy home and happy kitties. I wouldn’t hesitate asking her to help us again.”

Jessica D.

“Erin's stay with our girls was above our expectations. Why? It was the little things! She asked very good questions and offered a meet and great. She communicated throughout the stay, sharing a summary of their day along with pictures. She made sure to keep their schedule and the entire time playied and engaged with them. She treated our home as if it was her own. Laundry and dishes were done when we arrived. Thank you! We highly recommend Erin!”

Karen M.

“Having Sam as an in-home sitter for our 15-year-old special needs Cocker Spaniel and two active playful Cocker Spaniels was a blessing. Dolly, Carl and Millie are all rescue dogs with issues. Dolly is deaf, has blinding cataracts and chronic pain. Carl has itchy skin and Millie just wants to play all the time! To find a sitter with ability to give proper care, which included giving Dolly and Carl medications, was a must. With Sam's ability to understand their needs and carefully follow detailed instructions was tremendous! Sam welcomed the challenge with no hesitation. We are planning to have her to take care of our threesome again soon. Thanks Sam!”

About: I've been pet-sitting since I was 10 years old. I grew up around dogs and farm animals, and have always loved taking care of them. I'm familiar with all type of breeds and energy levels. I am a voice teacher and singer, so my schedule is very flexible. I can work around almost anything and will be able to give consistent care if needed. Each animal is unique, and I pride myself on being able to adapt easily to new routines so that your fur baby can continue their day with little to no upsets.

“Best rover we have ever had. We have two older dogs with some incompetency problems and when we got home, everything was super clean. The dogs were super relaxed and happy and she even left on jazz music for them to chill too when we got home. 10/10 no notes she’s amazing”

About: Hi! I'm Aya! I work fully remote and recently moved to the area, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets. I don’t have pets of my own right now, but I’ve cared for the dogs and cats of friends and family for years. I’m excited to explore the neighborhood while taking your fur babies on walks, giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve! Since I work fully remote, pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I can take breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I enjoy having the chance to get outside and explore the neighborhood with pets. On evenings and weekends, I have even more flexibility to spend extra time making sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, or medications. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, love, and attention, and I always keep the home tidy and secure. I’m also happy to send photo and text updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.

“Abby was amazing with my puppy Sofie. Sofie loved her instantly upon meeting her. I was a bit worried due to my pup not handling me being away well, but I was pleasantly surprised when I received pictures and videos that Sofie is a very happy cuddly puppy, just being her natural self! I’d highly recommend Abby as a pet sitter !!”

Laura S.

“Couldn't have been happier with Alex - he's so smart, personable and genuinely loves all living things! My gang loved him immediately and can't wait to see him again. Great communication, very responsible, conscientious, and respectful in every way. Highly recommend - have him charm your pets too!”

Carol L.

“Kayleigh took the best care of our 3 dogs. She sent us pictures and the dogs were literally dog smiling.”

Shannon Y.

“Sophia did a great job for us. She sent multiple pictures every day, our dog bonded with her quickly and she left the house clean. It was the first time we used Rover and it was an excellent experience.”

Tom D.

“Ian was a fantastic sitter! I had him stay at my house since my puppy had just gotten spayed and wasn’t used to being alone — he did a tremendous job! He was communicative, respectful and followed all the instructions closely. He was also flexible with pick up and drop off since it changed a couple of times and my pup immediately liked him ? I will definitely use him in the future and will tell all my local friends about him as well!”

Amanda F.

“Michaela was awesome! Great communication, got back to us quickly & paid lots of love and attention to our house and fur babies. Would definitely use her again!”

Kristen R.

“I lucked out finding Kim at the last minute. She was able to take care of the dog with a two day notice which was amazing. She kept me updated throughout the stay and even left me a note at the end that wrapped everything up so that I didn’t have any questions about how it went. I would most certainly recommend her but also book her again myself. I’ll already Recommended her to neighbors and friends.”

Bridget S.

“Amy is great! She goes above and beyond to make sure our fur babies are taken care of. We enjoyed the daily pictures and check-ins while we were gone. We came home to happy and healthy pets and a spotless home.”
