“Nora was a fantastic pet sitter for my dog. She was very considerate and attentive to learning all the details about my dog. I would gladly have her back again and felt so comfortable with her staying at my home.”


“Very friendly and responsive. Emily came by on short notice to meet the dogs, sent lots of pictures, and when I got back, the house was in the same shape as I left it. Will definitely use her again!”
“Alex took great care of our two dogs! He sent daily updates and photos. Our dogs really enjoyed their time with him. He left the house clean and tidied up. Very happy with the care our dogs got while we were gone, especially our senior!”

“Mallory was wonderful watching our dogs at our house for the weekend. She handled our two (sometimes troublesome) pups very well and with no complaints, even when one got a little sick. She was communicative throughout the entire process and shared lots of pictures and updates during her stay to make us feel more comfortable and show us they were happy and well loved. She took excellent care of our house as well. Thank you!”

“Jenni was a great choice to watch our fur baby overnight because of a last minute trip my partner & I had to take for a funeral. Due to our unexpected time constraint beforehand, she came over the same day of the booking and met our dog Hank & learned his routine. While we were away, she sent lots of pictures & gave us updates every so often so we were always in the know. We would definitely have Jenni watch Hank again in the future and highly recommend her for the pet sitting needs of other folks too!”

“Amanda is incredible. INCREDIBLE. You hear me? You cannot get a better pet sitter. Stop looking, and just book Amanda if she’s free. We’re pretty sure our pets will be sad we are back and that she’s not coming to hang with them!”

“Sara was great! We left our Nailah home for a night while we went on a trip and she took good care of her. She sent pictures as well as updates while we were gone and our Nailah really seemed to love her. Would highly recommend 10/10”

“Looking for someone who is kind, thoughtful, and who will truly love on your pups while you’re away, Camryn is a great choice! We came home to three very happy pups and from the pictures we saw of their weekend together, have no doubts that they loved her company. Thank you so much!”

“Kylie was such a great sitter for us last minute before taking a day trip. She sent ample photos and made our kitten feel so comfortable while we were out. She was very kind, professional, and caring. Would absolutely recommend to anyone for their cat sitting needs!”

About: I have lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience fully taking care of both including administering various types of medicine including inhalers, pills, and creams. I work full time during the day and am available at nights. I have some flexibility during the days to leave and check on pets. I work some weekends but would be available nights. I ensure pets are safe and comfortable in their environment, no matter where they are. I make sure the home is safe and/or the pets stay in a safe space. I also follow any and all instructions for health and physical safety.

“JP was awesome! She was extremely communicative and laid back which was great for us. She came and met our dogs twice before staying with them which I so appreciated and was so patient with both of them. Both of our dogs have their own weird quirks and JP immediately made us feel at ease. We felt extremely comfortable while on our trip and she left the house spotless! Will definitely be rebooking her.”

“Jacob is amazing and extremely mindful of our dogs wellbeing and the upkeep of the house. We love when he comes to sit and have peace of mind that everything is taken care of! Thanks 🫶”


“Julia petsat in our home for 4 days and was very kind and communicative! Our pets were well taken care of and we returned to a clean home! We are always a bit nervous since our dog has anxiety and needs a bit more attention and care but everything went great!”

“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”

“Victor was a great companion to Onion - they took to each other right away. Victor was respectful of my place and left it in great condition. Victor is now on my list of pet sitters for the future.”

“This was the second time Keaton took care of my dog and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet caretaker! My dog got sick right before I had to go out of town and Keaton took the best care of him.”

“Available for a last minute trip, Cindy was a huge help! Responsive, cared for my dog well and kept me updated. I felt comfortably leaving my home and fuzzy buddy in her care.”

Cofer pet parents share their Rover experiences
Dani took amazing care of our sweet pit bull for almost two weeks in our home. She was a great communicator, our pup was clearly cared for and given lots of attention, and our house was in excellent shape when we got home. We highly recommend Dani, she will be on our short list when we need care.

Brittney house sat and stayed with our dog and cat for four nights, and she truly did an exceptional job from start to finish. She was incredibly attentive, responsible, and kind, and it was clear how much care she put into making sure our pets were happy and comfortable while we were away. She continuously kept us up to date with thoughtful messages and plenty of photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. When we returned, the house was even cleaner than when we left it, which speaks volumes about how thorough and respectful she is. Brittney was a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond in every way—we would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring house sitter.

Alexander has been incredible to work with, start to finish. He is very detail oriented and even brings a notebook so he can start a “file” on your pet. This alleviated a lot of my stress working with a new petsitter, knowing he was taking it very seriously and wouldn’t just be relying on memory. He was great with all of our dogs and their quirks, and I highly recommend.

Jacob performed a stand up service taking care of our four animals and our house while we were out of the country. He was always available to communicate updates, left our house looking very clean, and even worked with us last minute to add more time after we made a scheduling error. We would definitely recommend his services and will likely rebook should we need pet sitting again in the future.

Kristen is so sweet!! Our whole crew absolutely adored her, and she took the best care of everyone while we were out of town. Our shy pup warmed up to her immediately! She sent so many pictures and updates through the weekend and was very responsive! Will absolutely be booking Kristen in the future for our upcoming travels / events! Thank you so much ❤️
