“Leah stayed with our two cats for a week while we were on vacation. We got daily updates and photos. You can tell she really cares about their well-being and knows how to go to “speak cat!””
“Jessica was easy to work with, sent me frequent updates and everyone seemed happy and calm when I returned home!”
“Josh was absolutely incredible! He was able to manage a complicated multi-dog household including a foster pup who wasn’t able to fully interact with our other dogs. Josh used his background with shelter dogs to go beyond dog sitting to truly caring for them! Highly recommended.”
“Gregory was wonderful with our two dogs! He was communicative and very loving with our babies (one is a 4mo old puppy!) he was very respectful in our home and we will definitely hire him again!”
“Ruth is AMAZING! She stayed in our home while we were out of town and our pup loved her. He is normally very nervous of people. Additionally, without even asking, she sent us numerous pictures of our pup during the day, confirming his meal times and that he was happy and having a good time. This proactivity really is awesome because it put us at ease and begging for pictures makes me feel like a crazy pup mom haha. Additionally, I told her when our flight was landing and when she could leave, and she voluntarily stayed longer to make sure our pup wasn't alone too long. She rocks! I would highly recommend Ruth to anyone!”
“Abigail sat for us while we were away briefly. Really good experience. She's very nice, was on time, kept us informed and sent pictures. Our dogs seemed very happy and were able to keep to their routine, and importantly, they like her very much. Highly likely to have her sit or pop in again soon.”
“Norman showed up with great energy & care for our first time with him sitting. Page loves to see him & Norman stays in touch throughout the day with good awareness to tune in for needs for me & pup while I was away.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we chose Ashley to stay in our home with our elderly dog Al. She was fantastic. Reliable, easy to work with, communicative, and so kind to our boy. I would not hesitate to call upon Ashley again and would highly recommend both her and Rover as a service.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse experience and genuine love for animals. I have pet sat dogs both in the U.S. and abroad, caring for a variety of pets, including young dogs and older dogs. My approach to dog care is personal and attentive, just like my teaching style. As a teacher, I understand the importance of differentiation; I apply this same principle to your pets. Just as every child has unique needs, so do our furry friends. I take pride in tailoring my care to suit each dog's personality and preferences. I absolutely love dog walking and playing with them. More than anything, I cherish those moments of playtime and cuddle time on the couch, creating a warm and loving environment for your dogs while you’re away. Let me give your furry friends the attention and care they deserve! Pet care is a joyful part of my daily and weekly routine. After my workday ends at 3:15 PM, I dedicate my time to caring for pets, ensuring they receive the attention and love they deserve. On weekends, I am available for full-time pet care, accommodating your scheduling needs. Additionally, I offer pet sitting services during holidays, making it easy for you to travel or take time off while knowing your furry friends are in good hands. Your pets will always find a caring companion with me! When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I ensure that the environment is safe and comfortable for your pets by removing any potential hazards and creating a cozy space for them to relax and play. In my home, I provide a pet-friendly environment with designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playtime. I maintain a clean space and coordinate with pet owners to ensure that all necessary supplies are readily available, including food, water, toys, and bedding. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their space and routines. I follow all instructions provided by the pet owner to ensure their pets feel secure and comfortable. I keep the home clean and adhere to any specific guidelines regarding the pet's daily activities, feeding schedule, and exercise routines. In both settings, I prioritize building trust with the pets, providing them with love, attention, and companionship. I believe that a safe, caring environment helps pets feel at ease, allowing them to thrive while their owners are away.
“Alexis was a great sitter for our two big pups! She spent a lot of time with them and sent daily photos! She followed all the feeding and sleeping instructions and we came back to a clean house! She even left treats and cupcakes for us to give the pups on our return!”
“Emma was great! Took kind care of our dog, was good with giving medications and ensured she was fed and walked throughout our time away. Thanks Emma!”
“Lily was fantastic. She cared so much for our dog. Using her again!”
“Susan, thank you for taking such wonderful care of our dog Maeve in our home! We felt so at peace leaving town knowing she was safe with you, especially after seeing how thorough you were with questions at the meet and greet and how quickly our dog assumed position as your arm rest. We really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, as well as flexibility with timing. Looking forward to booking a stay with you again soon!”
“Thanks to Rebecca for taking care of our girl Skye. Excellent communication through the entire process as it was our first time using Rover. We would most definitely use Rebecca and Rover again. Loved the pictures. So appreciate the peace of mind of having professional care for our pet as we visited family.”
About: I have a senior dog and a puppy (the best of both worlds). I also had a cat who unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge. I have experience with administering medicine for both dogs & cats as well as bottle feeding for kittens. Working on potty training for the puppy, but a little tough with a senior dog in the house (accidents happen a lot). I currently work full time Monday through Friday, but can be available in the evenings once I get off. I also have availability on the weekends. Unfortunately I am unable to offer in home services at my own residence, but I will treat your animal(s) and home with the upmost care and love.
“Ajanay was fantastic- great communication throughout and I came back to happy pets and a clean home.”
“Rita was outstanding with our two Siberian Huskies! She was on time, dependable, and easy to work with. She was very good with the dogs and left our house in great shape after an overnight sitting. We were very pleased and will book her again!”
“Arassely was really great! She sent us plenty of updates throughout the week including pictures. It looked like Walter was having an awesome time playing and going for walks.”

About: Hi, I’m Jackie – a proud dog mom to two sweet pups, Benny and Bailey! Caring for dogs is second nature to me, and I treat every dog like part of the family.

9. Melina B.
“I can wholeheartedly recommend Melina as a very responsible and caring cat sitter. While I recently was on a 3 week family vacation in Egypt she cared for my two male cats who are active, athletic and quite rambunctious. She fed them twice a day, refreshed water, played with them each time she came and changed the litter. She also tidied up the kitchen and food station, hallways as well as the living area where they roamed freely and had occasionally knocked items over. When Melina observed that one of the cats seemed to have digestive problems she immediately called to consult with us and offered to visit the vet. For this assignment, I needed a reliable person that I could entrust my house key and my beloved cats. Not an easy task. Melina was responsive, mature and highly professional. She displayed a calm and authoritative demeanor with our pets in her care, when she first met them and they were immediately drawn to her.”
