“Danielle was prompt and communicative and understanding when we had to come home early. I will ask her first every. single. time I need someone. Courteous and professional.”
“Jordan went above and beyond as a dogsitter at our house! She was so great with communication, we did not have to worry about anything. We returned to our house even cleaner than how we left it. I would recommend Jordan to anyone, and I definitely hope she is available next time we need a sitter!!”
“I was nervous to leave my cat, as I have never left her with a non-family member before, but Mary was wonderful! Mary came by before the trip and was great with my cat. She updated me during the trip, and when I returned, my cat seemed very relaxed and content. I will definetely be booking again!”
“James is the very best! He went above and beyond for us and took such great care of our dogs, including a four month old puppy who was difficult while we were away. James is considerate, caring and communicative. And we came home to our house in better shape than we left it in for him!”
“Tessa was amazing with our two hyper dogs! She was patient, kind, and communicative from start to finish. She definitely made us feel comfortable leaving our fur babies for a few days-sending pictures at least once a day! She even washed the bedding and towels before leaving which was so over and above what we ever expected of her. I highly recommend using her for any and all pet needs. We greatly appreciate all she did for us!”
“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”
“Madison and Ryan were so great with my two pups! They sent plenty of updates and pictures which is always appreciated. One of my pups ended up getting sick on the last day from an autoimmune condition and they were super attentive and caught onto the symptoms immediately. They even offered to stay later than planned to keep an eye on him until we got home. 10/10 recommend and will book again!”
“This is the second time we’ve had Jack watch our pups while we were gone for a week. He did great as always! He gives us consistent peace of mind while we are away, knowing the dogs have good and caring company.”
“Brooke took excellent care of my cat while staying with him for a long trip. She followed his care instructions and sent me great updates and photos. Made me feel much better about being so far away from my cat. Would definitely reccomend Brooke!”
“We were gone for 10 days. Samantha house and dog sat. She is fantastic. Took care of them like they were her own. She even helped out and watered our outdoor plants since there was no rain. Highly recommended.”
“Was nothing short of amazing. From the meet and greet to entire time Lettie was house sitting, she was attentive and thorough. Gave updates along the way and made the entire experience so stress free. Best experience with Rover yet!”
“Our experience with Christian was amazing! Christian house sat for us and our anxious dog and cared for the house and our dog so well. Christian sent consistent updates and went above and beyond. We will definitely use Christian for house sitting again!!”
About: I grew up with dogs, and in the last few years have been regularly petsitting for friends and mutual friends who need a dog lover to give them peace of mind that their pets will be cared for and loved on even when you're away :) I work full time, typically either 11-6:30 or 12-8:30 Tues-Sat (usually off Sunday and Monday). Infrequently I have later a later shift depending on work needs, and that usually means 3-11. Overall, I can be available in the morning, evening, and overnight around my work schedule! I'm an active person and love walks, so I can take your pet on very long walks and provide lots of play! I can take them out to the bathroom in the morning and evenings, and feed + administer medicine as needed. Overall, I enjoy getting to spend time with dogs so they will be watched and looked after (....and given lots of treats but that's between me and them)
“Dakota was a wonderful sitter! Dakota came for a meet and greet a few days beforehand, and Wes was immediately relaxed. You can tell how much Dakota cares about taking care of your dog and their individual needs. We got several photos and updates throughout the time Dakota was watching Wes, which really put us at ease. We would absolutely recommend Dakota, and would be happy to have Dakota watch We anytime!”
“Mackenzie is super helpful and responsible for our puppy while we were away for a music festival. In addition to being a great caretaker of our dog, she is easy to communicate with and did a good job providing updates about our puppy. It is our first time using Rover and we are glad it worked out. So thank you so much Mackenzie and we would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs good care for their dogs.”
“Jessica was so patient with my anxious pup and kept me updated throughout the sitting! Left the house nice and tidy as well. Would highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
“LaTrice stayed at our place with our dog Coraline while we were out of town. She was so easy to communicate with, sent great pictures to ease our mind and left the house so clean. Will definitely use her again when we need some help with Coraline.”

Lauren was super responsible and great at communicating. When we came home our dog was so well groomed and cared for, and the house was in perfect shape. The spaces our two cats eat, drink and use the litter box were also immaculately clean and tidy. We highly recommend Lauren!
Christian is the most wonderful sitter ever! Our senior dog decided this was the time to get super picky about food, and Christian was so patient and made sure to find something she would eat and enjoy. Christian is so loving and kind. I feel lucky to have found her!
Emily could not have done a better job! With her I knew my high energy 1 year old pup and chatty cat were in great hands. She sent me pictures / videos while we're were out of town and blurbs about their day periodically! Knowing our pets were well taken care of and in our own home meant so much to us.
We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! Kristen was absolutely amazing—so thoughtful and genuinely caring with both our dog and cat. She kept us updated with photos and sweet check-ins, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Not only did our pets clearly adore her, but she also left our home even cleaner than we left it. We are grateful to find someone so responsible, loving, and attentive. We recommend her without hesitation and would absolutely book with her again!
Amanda is absolutely amazing! This is the first time I used Rover. Amanda was very communicative and sent photos each day. I will definitely use her again as a house sitter on our next trip. She even washed the sheets! The house was spotless. My dog was taken care of well the entire time we were gone.
