“James went over and above the call of duty!!! Not only did he save me from a horrible sitter but treated by dog like a queen!!! I can't thank Rover and James enough for saving my trip.”
“Maura was a great sitter for our dog at our house and sent plenty of photos and updates during her stay. Our dog was happy and healthy when we got home. We would definitely have Maura sit for us again!”
“Christina was so helpful watching our Poppy who was 1.5 wks post-op TPLO. She gave meds when needed and assisted her with all mobility needs. I would recommend her for any care for pets!”
“From the moment Chloe and I had a meet and greet with Samantha, I could just tell she is a genuinely kind person. She took great care of Chloe while my husband and I were out for the evening. She sent me pictures and I could tell Chloe really likes her. We look forward to the next time that Samantha can dog sit for us!!!”
“Jillian went above and beyond for our dogs during her housesitting visit. She sends tons of photos, spends lots of time with the dogs during overnights, and goes out of her way to make sure they have plenty of treats. We all adore Jillian!”
“Greg was a fantastic pet sitter. He stayed overnight in our home with our three small dogs during our vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was on time, great with communication, and consistently sent detailed updates and photos that kept us at ease. Our dogs loved him. Our senior dog with medical needs received extra patience and care. Greg followed every instruction, left our home immaculate, and went the extra mile to give each dog plenty of love. We’ll definitely be using him again in the future, and I recommend Greg to anyone looking in-home pet sitting.”
“Sam was awesome! She was very punctual and took great care of our two dogs! She was great with comm, sending updates and pictures! Would definitely recommend her and will use in the future!”
“Victoria was excellent to our cats. She gave them all the time and attention they needed while we were gone and despite them not generally being warm to strangers she got one of cats to pet her which is huge for a stranger to come in and do.”
“Sam was a wonderful sitter for both the house and my animals! She sent me constant updates with photos and just made me feel tremendously at ease! She really takes great pride in the job she does caring for our animals and appreciated that so much. Will definitely be booking her again and encourage anyone to do the same!”
“Jess was amazing! She sent us photo and video updates throughout the whole weekend keeping us at ease. She was so sweet and attentive, and even came over a few days before to meet the pups. We will definitely be booking with Jess again in the future!”
“My husband and I would 100% trust our dog with David. We have an anxious pup and was worried about strangers meeting him but from the first meet, our dog was very comfortable with David. He gave punctual updates while we were gone and the visit went smoothly. When my husband and I came back home, we found a very nice handwritten card, chocolates, and even a dog toy from David! A very nice gesture and the kind of generous person we would invite back to our home to care for our pup. Thanks for your help David!!”
About: I love caring for and being around animals. I have more than 5 years of experience caring for pets. They’re precious and deserve tender care. I have cared for dogs and cats through check ins, walks, and house sitting. I have mostly watched dogs or cats 3-4 or older. I have recently watched a kitten who is turning 1 soon and had a lot of fun so I’d be open to doing it again. I am a full time student and have a job outside of this. Pet care would be more during my weekends and free time. Seeing animals when not in class or working is such a reward! My current availability is Friday after 3 PM, anytime Saturday and Sunday, and before 5 PM on Monday. I have pet sit overnight in homes for dogs and cats. I learn quickly and take notes to assure I care for any pet well. I like to ask clients about what they typically do with their pet in a day that their pet will expect outside of feeding and walking time. This might include playing with toys once they come home for 15 minutes or treats after walks. I love doing pet phone calls for clients who want to check in with their pet in real time! A quick FaceTime call can bring such ease to a pet parent and such joy to their pet.
“Devon is a true professional. She made sure to meet us and our puppies to make sure all was comfortable. Met me in advance a second time for the key. Each day she was patient with sparkles and scarlet as sparkles is shy. She followed all instructions and kept us informed. The dogs were very well taken for and super excited when we got home. Thank you Devon well done. We will absolutely use her again!”
“Nicole was diligent in caring for our dog and bought him a couple of new toys that he loves! She was cheerful and exhibited a great ability in being able to manage his rambunctious behaviors from the very first day. We appreciated her dependability and punctuality.”
About: I have been caring for my several dogs for over a decade now, and I’m confident I can care for yours too. I have had 5 dogs throughout my life, and they’ve all lived long and happy lives. I’m experienced with puppies AND senior dogs. I am a very friendly and loving person! I think your pet and I will get along great. It will be a great opportunity for both me and your pet to get outside, exercise, and take care of each other; mentally and physically. I have completely open availability to provide care for your pets! Please feel free to book with me at any time, even on holidays. I’ll do all I can to be there for your pet. I will follow any and all rules you may have regarding your pet and it’s care. I promise to not overstep any boundaries you set and I will give all of my love to your animal.

Maura is the best! When she came for the meet and great, she was low key and really helped me feel comfortable. Then during the trip she sent regular pictures and updates. When we got home, the dogs were happy and the home was clean. I an so grateful for her kindness and her professionalism-- cannot recommend strongly enough!
Caitlin, was amazing with my shy pup, Finn, and my cat, Murph! Finn is usually scared of his own shadow, but she was so patient and gentle that he warmed up quickly. I loved all the photo updates — it gave me such peace of mind seeing both of them happy and relaxed. So grateful to have found someone who cares for them the way I do! Highly recommend!
I had a friend recommend Rover, as I was leaving for Ireland for 10 days, I was struggling to find someone trustworthy to take care of my pets. From my first reach out, Teresa responded promptly and put my mind at ease. Teresa did a great job, communicated and updated me frequently, my pets loved her! We had a great trip, and had no worries, THANK YOU TERESA!!! I would have no problem recommending Teresa to anyone, she did a wonderful job!
