“Meredith was great staying with my cat and housesitting for 3 nights! I got regular updates, both pics and video, and I could tell she liked hanging out with him, which was nice. Came home to a clean house. Would definitely (and hope to!) book her again.”
“Avi stayed at our house for a whole week with our dog, Grace. She followed our instructions and left our house looking fantastic! She even took the sheets off of the bed. We have already re-booked Avi for our next trip.”
“Kendra was awesome for watching our dog, Cody. Cody is a slow-to-warm dog, but at the meet and greet, he fell head over heels for Kendra. She was willing to help us out last minute, even made time for a meet and greet very last minute, which was awesome, and then took great care of our pup. Cody has anxieties especially around thunder, and won't finish all his food when someone else watches him, but with Kendra he ate all his food after a few days even with some thunder storms coming through! She sent us pictures where he looked pretty pooped after a good amount of playing. Thank you, Kendra! We'll definitely be reaching out for you to come again!”
“Raina was amazing. It was the first time using rover and she definitely put my mind at ease, she did a meet and greet within the first day we contacted her. Our babies warmed up to her quickly and she was very understanding with our last minute schedule changes. Getting photos of our babies throughout my trip was a great surprise. We will definitely use her in the future.”
“Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by Patricia! Hands down, she is one of the best pet sitters I've had on Rover. My cats were well taken care of, and I particularly appreciated her careful administration of insulin to my diabetic cat. She ensured it was given on time every day. Additionally, she left my apartment spotless. I can't recommend her enough and will definitely be using her services again in the future! Thank you, Patricia!”
“Tram was a pleasure to work with. She was thorough and conscientious, thinking of things we hadn’t thought of to discuss and get clear about. She communicated throughout the care period. And it was clear she enjoyed being with our dog. We highly recommend Tram!!”
“She was so amazing with my kitty’s, one of my cats is super shy and usually hides from everyone. But Anya(my cat) came out and made a new best friend! Not only that but Melody took super good care of my reptiles too and my apartment and sent pictures and videos while I was away. I will definitely rebook with her and highly recommend if you’re looking for someone who treats your animals like their own.”
“Claire stayed our home with 5 dogs, not an easy task, and did OUTSTANDING. Thank you Claire for watching our 2 dogs, and 3 foster dogs. We really appreciate your help, especially on short notice.”
“My dog Pepper had a great weekend with Sherry! I got plenty of photos and updates, and it was wonderful to not have to worry about my girl at all when I was away for the weekend!”
“Kristin helped us out in a last minute jam and we couldn’t be more grateful. She was highly communicative, followed all of our requests, sent lots of pictures, and took great care of our space and dog. Highly recommend!”
About: I can’t have my own dog right now, so I’d love to hang out with yours! I grew up with dogs (puppies to old dogs) and I have watched friends’, neighbors’, and family members’ dogs for them. I am responsible and will make sure your pet is well taken care of. I work on campus ~9-5 pm (M-F), but my schedule is somewhat flexible if hours need to be adjusted for the pet. I am available all day on weekends and most weeknights. I am a responsible PhD student and will do my best to take care of both your pet and your home and follow any specific guidelines from you. I will take your dog on a run in the morning if you’d like, and I’d love to play with your dog/cat. :) I’m also happy to transport your pet in my car.
“Grace was a lovely dog sitter!! We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with her. She provided tons of photos and updates and we could tell she is a genuine dog lover and took really good care of them. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve loved animals every since I was a young child. I actually prayed for the dog I have now and I have taken care of him ever since. I also have previous experience with closely taking care of my neighbors dog such as boarding, dog walks, and daily visits. I am currently free this entire summer so I am extremely flexible with time. I love early morning walks but anytime of the day is perfect for me! I have a personal dog at home that is extremely friendly. I also have a large front and back yard that is gated which guarantees that I will have plenty of space and opportunity to play with your pet!
“Cassie was wonderful. Our cats were comfortable and happy with her, and her communications with us were on point. She took good care of our house and let us know when she had questions or concerns. We are especially grateful that she was cheerful and flexible when our flight got cancelled and we were delayed getting back. She really came through for us! We will book with her again.”
About: My job is to make sure your pet experiences the same love and attention they receive at home. I have two cats at home and have experience walking dogs for a family friend (an Aussie Shepherd, my favorite breed.) I’m currently a college student. I don’t work, so I am available anytime on the weekends! During the week, I’m available in the morning until 11am and some evenings after 6pm. I am gentle and patient as I love animals and have my own. Please let me know of any particular concerns for your fur baby.
“Ella stayed with and watched my dog while I was out of town for about a week. She followed instructions well and kept me updated with pictures. I felt my dog was safe in her hands and would definitely have her watch him again!”

We are especially grateful that she was cheerful and flexible when our flight got cancelled and we were delayed getting back. She really came through for us! We will book with her again.
I was really nervous about leaving our dogs with a sitter for the first time as one of them has pretty severe separation anxiety and can be reactive, but Jessica was amazing with them! We received regular (and detailed) updates with lots of pictures, which gave me peace of mind. She had no issue with administering medications. Also, when our dogs had allergy flare ups, Jessica kept us well informed and worked with us to determine a solution to help the dogs be more comfortable. Jessica even won the heart of our standoffish doggo and we were pleasantly surprised to see she got pets and cuddles from him!
I highly recommend Aspen for Rover dog sitting. Aspen is very competent, loves dogs and follows through with all detail. Aspen has communicated back very quickly to all of my inquiries and leaves the house as clean as when she arrived. I am grateful to Aspen and Rover for making our trip possible!
Patricia was fantastic! She was very, very good with our dog Mimi and sent us an update every day we were away. She also allowed Mimi to sleep with her in a rather small bed so that was above and beyond. lol. She left the house spotless and even washed her sheets before she left. I would recommend her highly.
Samantha is fantastic! She is responsible, communicative, and persistent in her efforts to make sure our dog has a great time when she is around. She kept our house in seamless condition and meet us completely confident that everything was being taken care of exactly as if we were home. She is the perfect person to walk your dog or take care of your animals at home and will be our first line option for all future travel, and dog walking. Highly highly recommend!
Lilly was amazing! She pet sit overnight for me for a few days. This was my first time leaving my kitty with someone other than family and she really gave me peace of mind. My elderly cat has gotten very particular with age and she did a great job of following my annoyingly specific instructions. She also gave me updates with pictures daily and let me know how he was doing, how he well he ate and any throw up situations. I will definitely be reaching out to Lilly for sitting again!
Katherine is wonderful. We hired her to do in home dog sitting for our slightly stubborn 4 year old pit bull, Lilly, for a week in July while we were out of town. I was worry free after Katherines first update with a photo of Lilly. Lilly looked very happy and content. She continued to send updates on a regular basis without even having to ask, which I really appreciated as we were a long ways from home and that was one less thing to have to worry about. Katherine is totally trustworthy with your furry baby and your house. We will definitely be inquiring about her availability on our next trip out of town.
Ruth stayed at our house for 2 weeks while we were away and took amazing care of our cat. She’s a very social kitty who needs social interaction and Ruth obviously gave her all the attention she needed. Our house was incredibly clean when we returned as well. I would not hesitate to ask Ruth to come back and watch our cat and house again! I definitely recommend her services.
Olivia is just wonderful. She cared for our home and our two dogs with seamlessly! We have a 15 year old and 4 year old and she took special care of each. I knew she was a good fit from the moment she visited for our "meet and greet" as our old 15 year old lady dog actually wagged her tail. That doesn't happen with everyone! Dogs know a true heart when they see/smell one. Olivia was very communicative and updated us with pictures. Our two pups look forward to booking with her again soon! 5 STAR SITTER
