“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Anthony! He cared for our severely injured pup with the utmost compassion, patience, and professionalism. From the very start, Anthony followed every single care instruction with precision, making sure our dog was comfortable, safe, and on track with recovery. Beyond just being attentive, he showed our pup so much genuine love and affection—it truly gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in the best hands possible. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet as if they were their own, but that’s exactly what Anthony did. We are beyond grateful for his kindness and dedication, and we couldn’t feel more appreciative. We are already looking forward to having him doggy sit for us again in the future. Thank you for everything, Anthony!”
“Joyce did a great job with Bellini. She regularly sent me images and updates on my pet's behavior throughout my time away. Communicative, reliable, and an obvious pet lover - I felt confident my cat and my home were in good hands during my vacation. I'll definitely be working with Joyce again in the future. 5 star recommend!!”
About: I am certified dog trainer. I have 10 years of pet sitting/dog walking experience. I specialize in care for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, and anxious dogs. I understand canine behavior and focus on keeping walks safe, structured, and positive. I’m also comfortable administering medication when needed. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and started dog walking at 10 years old. I’m calm, patient, reliable, and always send photo updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide dog walks and drop-ins throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and weekends. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure each pet receives dedicated attention, consistency, and reliable care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to ensure every walk and visit is safe and positive. During drop-ins, I follow all care instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving. I always provide photo updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
“Always such a pleasure to see Victoria. Our husky, Mika, absolutely loves her. Her dog, Nova, is the sweetest too. Victoria is so wonderful with Mika and makes sure that she has a safe and fun time! Highly recommend.”
“Our little Dachshund mix and our nervous, smart one year old Shepherd mix pup loved Justine and we could enjoy our vacation without worry. She is very sweet and took great care of our home as well!”
“Hunter is a fantastic dog sitter! He clearly loves dogs and did such a great job with our rescue pup during his overnight stay. Hunter was very communicative, did everything we asked, and was so patient and caring. He connected with our dog so quickly, which was such a relief for us in leaving him overnight for the first time. We are grateful to have found Hunter and will be utilizing his services again for sure! Thanks, Hunter!”
About: I take care of every pet like they’re my own. I pay close attention to their routine, what they like, and what makes them comfortable. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, or just someone to sit with them and keep them company, I’m happy to help and make them feel safe and loved. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m retired, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for walks, visits, and spending quality time with your pet. I can easily adjust my day around their needs and make sure they feel cared for and comfortable. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly as you describe it. I make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable by keeping things familiar—feeding them on time, refreshing water, taking them for walks, and giving them playtime or quiet time depending on what they like. I always keep the home tidy, double-check that doors and gates are secure, and send updates so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make everything feel stress-free for both you and your pet.
About: Fur babies love that I genuinely offer love and care at first sight and touch. With more than 10 years of first hand experience and knowledge, I truly enjoy interacting with the most intelligent, loyal, and loving creatures of them all. I have great pet care experience in: bath & grooming, tick & flea removal, and hair dematting. Also, I have experience administering medications. My key objective is to keep your fur baby comfortable and happy every minute under my watch. I have a flexible schedule with open extra early or late bookings for weekdays and weekends. I truly believe our beloved fur babies have a 6th sense and they will always be the best judge when sniffing people out if you get what I mean.
“Jaclyn watched Pancho for 3 days while I was out of town. She kept the house tidy and sent updates/pictures throughout the day. She is caring and friendly and I will definitely use her in the future.”
“Angela is amazing! She houses sat and watched my Honey for 3 days while we were out of town. She kept us updated morning and night and sent lots of photos. Thank you Angela for spoiling our baby.”
“Stacey is the greatest. I was really nervous about leaving our little girl for the first time but Stacey totally eased my fears on the very first day. Her nightly report cards along with pictures and video showed what good care our baby was receiving. The smile on our Gracie’s face said it all. And since she was watching Gracie during the awful heat wave we were having, she found alternative ways to give her exercise without exposing her to the heat and humidity. We used the house sitting service and she not only took care of our pet but my plants and pool. I highly recommend her for any of your pet needs. You can tell she is a professional and loves animals!”
About: My name is Abby and I am 30 years old. During the year, I am a teacher but I love to jump into these side jobs to make a little extra income. I love all dogs! I have had 3 long term dogs join my family over the past 12 years who are family to me. As of right now, I own a wiener dog who loves to hike, swim and go on runs with me. I love giving dogs cuddles, tummy rubs, and walks. Dogs with energy don't stand a chance with me since I spend lots of time with my sisters Australian Shepard. Big dogs don't scare me either as my dad has had both Great Danes and Dobermans as our family dogs growing up. I am currently a teacher on summer break, so pet care takes priority for my little dog currently. I try to make sure my dog goes outside for a walk at least 3 times a day. My complex has its own Dog Park on the property with 2 other parks near by as well. All 3 are well fenced in to provide security.
About: I am a pet enthusiast that loves going on long walks and staying active. I’m calm, reliable, and very attentive to the needs and personalities of the animals I spend time with. Big or small, I’ve had experience with them all! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule. I plan my day around the pets in my care to make sure they get regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and attention. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm and safe environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. I follow their normal routine so they feel secure!
“Laura was fantastic! I have a 1 year old and an 11 year old dog, each with their own needs. She was wonderful and communicative during the 5 day I was away. I felt completely comfortable with her taking care of them. And when I came home, everything was in great shape and the dogs seemed very happy. I will definitely hire her again.”
“What a great experience. Yasmin did such a great job. We immediately felt comfortable and couple tell she was exceptional with dogs. We would highly recommend her and 100% will utilize her services again.”
About: I have worked with over 100 dogs as a dog handler at a dog daycare. I have walked, fed and administered medicine to many pets. Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine. I make time each day for feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention to all animals. I care for pets by feeding them, keeping them safe, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own—making sure they’re happy, healthy, and having fun while you’re away
“Everything went well when Keely watched our animals. I can always tell when they are so calm after we have been gone for a few days. She kept us up to date with pictures and information that really eases the nervousness of leaving one's fur babies in the hands of someone else.”
“Justin provided an excellent service! He connected with my dog Cometa and ensure he was exercised, fed, safe, and well cared! Cometa was relaxed and happy! I found him calm and secured at my arrival! I will continue having Justin taking care of my dog as many times as my dog needs service! Justin is dependable, responsible, nurturing and committed to provide de best service possible. I’m very grateful and happy with his service. Gracias, gracias, gracias….”
Citrus pet parents share their Rover experiences
As always, we felt completely comfortable knowing Gio was caring for our dog and cat. He sends regular photos and communicates clearly, which we really appreciate. He also took great care of our home and followed all instructions perfectly. Having that kind of peace of mind while traveling is invaluable. Our pets absolutely love Gio!
Joyce is amazing! My babies warmed up to her immediately 🤗. I’m very picky about who I trust with my dogs, but I felt completely comfortable with Joyce from the start. She sent me pictures throughout her time with them, which I absolutely loved as a crazy dog mom! I highly recommend Joyce.
When I met Olivia, she met and held eye contact. I knew right then she was very mature for her age and was the person I wanted sitting my family. All instructions followed. Cats were beautifully groomed. I would not hesitate to book her again. She exemplifies 5 star service. Thank you so very much for putting up with my systems based helicopter parent ways!
Camrynn was an amazing sitter & just a very sweet person all around! It was our first time being away for days and our puppy warmed up to her right away, which made leaving him so much easier. The super cute pictures/videos she sent were also very appreciated. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and took great care of both my puppy and frogs while I was away. She was able to follow the care instructions down to every detail and was very thoughtful. I really appreciated how respectful she was of my apartment as well! I came back to a clean, tidy space and happy animals. I’d definitely trust her again for future trips!
