They are super responsive, and sent me lots of photos and updates so I could see how everything was going. I would definitely recommend them!!”

“12 out of 10. Jessa truly saved me with a last minute request after I had a few rover sitters canceled on me. She came and met my dogs and also was gracious enough to keep an eye on my garden. I will absolutely be using her in the future.”


“Stephanie took excellent care of our 4 year old poodle, bonding with him immediately and taking him on nice walks and keeping him happy while we were gone. She even brought her own long leash so he could run around at the park while she made sure he couldn’t take off. Very kind, conscientious sitter!”


About: I have experience taking care of a high medical needs cat. I also have experience with deaf and blind cats. I understand each pet is an individual and will adjust my care as I get to know them. Some pets love human interaction and others need their space. I’m absolutely ready to kiss and hug them or give them the distance they need to feel safe. Nothing like the smell of fresh litter in the morning! I am a cat mom to 2 playful, cuddly adopted babies. I recently became a volunteer at a cat shelter, which gives me so much purpose. I have a full time job Monday-Friday. I am looking to occasionally pet sit on weekends and early mornings on weekdays. Home is a scared place. I will treat your pets and your space respectfully. I can send you all the photos you need to feel comfortable, or video call you. I am comfortable cleaning up after your pet, and giving them all the cuddles and words of affirmation they need while you are away.

About: I have had pets my entire life, both cats and dogs. I raised my two current cats from kittens and helped train my family dog as a puppy (she’s now 7). The past few years my family has been part of a program where we train a puppy for two weeks before sending them off to their forever home. I am currently working a part time job with a pretty flexible schedule so with notice i can be available weekdays or weekends to have plenty of time with your pet(s)! I have an apartment with three lovely cats (2 are mine, 1 is my roommates). They all grew up around dogs and are very tolerant.

“Karina took excellent care of our cat, dog, and home! Our dog is fairly nervous, and our cat required medication but Karina handled it all with patience and care and kept us updated with photos and texts throughout the weekend. We’ll definitely be reaching out next time we need someone to look after them!”


“This was our first time using Willem for house sitting, the boys were very happy when we got home and everything was in order. We are very happy and will be using him again!”


“Annemarie was a WONDERFUL dog sitter for my pup! She was so attentive and kept me informed the entire time, and Laika absolutely adored her. I will definitely be rebooking!”


“Joshua was fantastic from the start! He took such great care of Millie & Hope and provided daily updates. The house was spotless after a week of being gone & the dogs were very happy!! Would certainly recommend Joshua and will definitely use him again in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals. I’ve dog sat several times over the span of a decade. I’ve cared for dog breeds of all ages, sizes and personalities. Whether it was daily walks, overnight stays, and followed detailed care routines. I also love to stay active and will provide long walks in the neighborhood or local parks! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my classes and study time around pet care. Whether it’s starting with a morning walk or stopping by in the afternoon. Typically I am available Monday-Friday. In clients houses, I make it my top priority to care for your space, respect your pets as I would my own home. I stick closely to your pets usual routine for feeding, walks and playtime. And I’ll always keep you updated with photos or messages to see how they’re doing.

“Maddie took such good care of our dog when we were away. We could tell at our meet and greet that Ferdinand and Maddie were a good match. Just knowing he was in good hands, being well fed and going on walks, gave us great peace of mind. She also helped us out by bringing in our mail, Amazon packages and wheeling our trash and recycle bins in for us. We were so happy to receive some very cute pictures of Ferdinand. You are an amazing sitter, and we will be recommending your services to all of our friends and family who have animals. Thanks a million Maddie!”


“Kooy did an amazing job watching my dog Mac while I was out of town for work. Mac isn't used to being left behind and sometimes has issues with separation anxiety, but he absolutely loved hanging out with Kooy. Never seen him so happy with a sitter :) Kooy will definitely be my first choice next time I need a sitter, and I'd highly recommend him for house sitting or whatever other pet care you're looking for.”


“Cassandra was fantastic with our two pups while we were away for a few days. She’s very patient and understanding with our dogs’ needs. She’s very communicative; asking questions, sending updates and sharing pics daily. Thank you again!”

Vanessa U.
“Vanessa is great with pets! She's a cat mom, with a dog mom heart. Our dogs, Pinky and Livi, can be shy around other humans, but Vanessa's warm and kind demeanor quickly melted that away. Now they run in excitement when they see her. She also help take care of our cat Cleo when we were away on a trip. Cleo is blind and elderly, so the extra effort and TLC Vanessa gave her was very appreciated!”

Burke Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cassandra was awesome - took great care of both my dog and cat, and the highest compliment I can give her is that she is incredibly kind, and normal (lol) which is exactly what you want in a pet/house sitter! Will definitely use again :)
Payton was the dream pet sitter! She was extremely communicative, easy to work with, professional, attentive, and took amazing care of our pets. It's easy to be nervous when inviting a stranger into your home to take care of your pets, but Payton was so approachable and easy to work with from the beginning. We got photos every single day, as well as regular text updates. She even did some chores around the house such as taking our garbage bins in and some general tidying! Our pets loved her and were very well cared for.

Jimmy and Stella did a great job with my two completely different tempered dogs. I have a 8 month old and a 13+ year old who both loved Jimmy and Stella. Very much appreciated!

Josh was excellent about communication and truly a kind human. He loves to make sure the dogs are well exercised. we came home to our house as we left it and happy dogs! Thanks, Josh.

Maddie was an excellent dog sitter to our three dogs, two huskies and a Jack Russell. The pictures sent during our trip helped us feel at ease knowing they felt safe. Plus, her extra effort walking the pack above and beyond was amazing. When we arrived home, they were so relaxed almost like we hadn’t been gone! Even our one dog who is anxious was very quick to settle in like no time had pass. We would recommend Maddie to anyone!!

Lynelle was fantastic house sitting our dog Maeve! She sent us some glamour shot pictures of her doing puzzles and on a walk, showing that she was doing okay in the process. She gave timely updates and made sure we were in the loop on everything that happened during the day. Maeve took to Lynelle extremely well, we’d be happy to repeat again!

Kirsten was so great with watching my dog. She was great with communication and accommodating with my schedule. She took such good care of Greta and comforted her when she was scared of fireworks.

Thank you so much Audrey for taking such wonderful care of Buddy and Lucky. I appreciate your help on such a last minute dog sit and I look forward to calling on you again for help with the pups!

Sabrina is incredible. She stepped into a complex situation on zero notice — taking over care of a timid, recently rescued dog while also managing my home during a medical emergency. From the very first meeting, her calm energy and deep compassion for animals stood out. She was flexible, responsive, and completely trustworthy. I would highly recommend her.

Brea was amazing with my dog! I got daily updates and could tell my pup was happy and well cared for. It gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend and will definitely book again! If you’re looking for someone who truly loves what they do and treats your pet like family, Brea is the one!

We appreciated having Cori care for our dog while we were away on an extended vacation. She was responsive, and kept us informed. Our dog and home were well cared for. We definitely recommend Cori.

Kim is wonderful - super communicative and takes really good care of our pups and cat. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Mallory was a great help keeping our babies company in our absence and keeping them in their normal routine ❤️ Mallory was able to pet and house sit for us so they could stay in their own home environment and it meant the world to us! Thank you so much Mallory!!

Cynthia did an amazing job with my dog, Hachi. He has never been away from me in 5.5 years and is very attached to me. Cynthia spent the night at my house and Hachi was relaxed, ate, took his meds and went upstairs to bed. He was also willing to walk with her (which is rare) I was updated with texts, photo and a video throughout the 24 hours period. I am so grateful to have found Cynthia. I was beyond amazed at how well Hachi did! Thank you!

Kailynn did a fantastic job with our dogs while we were away on vacation. She is always dependable and sends regular updates.

Aleah was great and on short notice! She was super fast on responding for my dates and sent lots of pictures and updates on my pups. Will definitely use again!
