“Angelique was flexible, communicative, and super loving with our dogs. She was willing to come walk/meet the dogs prior and get to know them and our house. Her messages during the trip were informative, reassuring and had pics to make it easy to know our pups were doing well. We’ll definitely be adding her to who we reach out to for future trips. Thank you!”
“Dane was kind, patient, and understanding with our kitties and with us as well! My partner and I had an out of town emergency family, causing us to need to leave last minute & change our booking multiple times. Dane was flexible and understanding throughout the process. Our kitties were very new to our house and skittish, but Dane was gentle with them and helped them get comfortable with him very quickly!”
“Stephanie has watched my pets twice, now! She's a great communicator, I get loads of pics, and my babies are always much more chill when I come home from a trip if she's been watching them.”
“Jessikah is an incredible pet sitter! She spent a long weekend house- and pet-sitting for me, from a Thursday evening through Sunday evening, staying overnights. She kept my house very clean, watered my front garden, and - most importantly - was super attentive to both of my pets. My cat is not particularly fond of new people, and Jessikah really put on the effort to put Angrboda at ease and try to get her to play, despite being hissed at. My dog is easier, but Jessikah went the extra mile cuddling with him loads and walking him (he pulls; walks are optional) during her stay. I got incredible photos of both pets every day. When I got home from my trip, my pets were not stressed and anxious that I'd been away, which is extremely important to me. I cannot recommend Jessikah enough, and I am so happy to have found another pet sitter I can rely on and call back for future travel.”
“Salina was very punctual and communicative. She stayed at our house and took care of our senior dog and outdoor cats for 2 days and we felt totally comfortable with her making sure everyone was well taken care of!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I currently have three dogs and one cat who I love like family. I’ve also cared for several of my aunt’s pets over the years, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I care deeply about animals and their wellbeing, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’d be happy to give your pets the same level of care and attention! As a senior in high school, I keep a consistent routine that makes it easy to fit in pet care. I’m home before the late afternoon most days, which gives me plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. On weekends, my schedule is very open, so I am able to spend even more time with pets and be flexible for longer visits or multiple walks. Since I already care for my own pets daily, adding additional pet care fits naturally into my regular routine. If needed, I can adjust my schedule to make sure every pet gets reliable attention and care. When I care for pets in my home, I focus on creating a comfortable environment. I make sure they have all their necessities like water, food, and plenty of play and attention. Since I have three dogs and a cat, I’m used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone gets the type of interaction they need. In a clients home, I’ll ensure to follow their routines closely so the pets feels secure and consistent. I’ll make sure to follow any rules and schedules, and especially make sure to bond with the pet so they feel relaxed while their owner is away!
“Daria was a great dog/house sitter, even with a last-minute booking and a sick dog. She watched our dog for over a week and even did an unexpected vet visit when she wasn’t feeling well and needed extra tests and adjustment in her medications. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands!”
“Dennis came highly regarded- and now we know why! He followed our instructions perfectly, was super communicative, insightful, and kind. Our pets were happy and content for the full 7 day house-sitting stay and we are so grateful. I think our dog is going to miss him! 😂 Thank you, Dennis!!”
“Korin is absolutely fantastic- she’s a great communicator, was so kind and gentle while also being “in charge” with my reactive dog. She sent great updates and pictures and I can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Alyssa was incredible! She took amazing care of Pip, was super communicative, and went way above and beyond! I felt 100% comfortable knowing Pip was getting lots of love and attention while I was away!”
“G’la was great with our two dogs! We loved all of the wonderful pictures she sent and our dogs clearly had a good time. She even went above and beyond to coordinate visits with our landlord while we were away. Thanks, G’la!”

“Madeline is our top choice for taking care of our babies. We are so impressed by her and feel like she is an angel sent from up above. Super self sufficient, caring towards our animals, respectful and professional. She’s the best.”
“Tiana was easy to communicate with from start to end. She was responsive to our questions and also asked us great questions about our pup. And she brought a really calm, kind energy - our anxious dog seemed very comfortable with her! We would absolutely work with her again.”
“Amazing, start to finish! Leo's communication with me was thorough and professional, and his time with Vivi was so caring and loving. As an older pup, she just needs lots of love, attention, and a few walks...and Leo goes above and beyond to accommodate her. He absolutely loves animals and it shows! Leo is my #1 go-to pet caregiver. Thank you, Leo!”
“Hamed was such a professional - came by promptly for a thorough meet and greet; and took extra special care of our dog and cat. Will definitely be booking him again!”
“Christina is a fantastic dog-sitter. She came to my place, we visited & she got to know Roxy--a husky rescue. Roxy normally does not warm up to strangers, as she has had trauma in her life, but she liked Christina. Christina was kind & empathetic & I knew that she loves animals! I would love to have Christina pet-sit again someday at my home in the central coast of Calif.”
“Rebecca has so far sat for both of my dogs twice, and I can confidently say she did a wonderful job. I have a 4-year-old dog and an 8-week-old puppy, and she came in really open minded to them both being at such different stages in life and not being used to many other people. She's really patient and was willing to help me out during an overnight work shift, which I really appreciate. I felt at ease knowing Rebecca was going to be there which allowed me to not stress over the pups while at work which is a wonderful feeling. I really trust her, and I look forward to working with her again in the future!”
Coliseum pet parents share their Rover experiences
My pup Lulu came down with a stomach issue the day before we left for our trip. Rebecca worked with me to come up with a plan for her care and monitoring, adjusting her diet as Lulu recovered and sending me regular updates on Lulu's progress. Being 3000 miles away, it was such a relief to know that Lulu was in good hands and that Rebecca was prepared for the worst case scenarios. Thanks to Rebecca, I came home to a happy and healthy pup!
We are so happy to have connected with Jamie who provided house-sitting care for our daughter’s husky-malamute mix, Kazami. Jaime was caring and attentive to Kazami, who at 2.5 years old is energetic and loves the attention! Jamie walked, fed, and played with her, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Our family can wholeheartedly recommend Jaime!
Devon was a great dog sitter! She did a wonderful job following all of Bailey’s care instructions and had her snuggling with him within a couple of hours of arriving! She was great at giving me updates about how things were going while I was gone, including photos, and I felt totally at ease the whole week I was gone. She took great care of my place and everything was neat and tidy when I came back and I will absolutely be working with Devon again! You should too!
Huston was AMAZING! We booked him very last minute because our typical caregivers were unavailable last minute and I can't even believe he had an opening for us given how stellar he was. Prior to our trip, we had a video call to go over all the details (no time for an in person visit because it was the night before) and it was clear from the start that our furry family member would be in good hands. Throughout our trip, Huston sent updates and checked in about anything that was semi-important -- sometimes to ask for futher details or instructions from us, and sometimes it was just to keep us in the loop. He sent pics and was so gracious the one time in two weeks he asked to see if we might get a neighbor to give our dog his dinner (which Huston made sure was completely ready to go in the fridge and the only thing our neighbor needed to do was put the food on the ground). Our dog is elderly and has some mobility challenges, but he was moving pretty good when we returned and so happy to see us but clearly had been taken great care of. Also, our home was in better shape than we left it plus he was amazingly thoughtful to wash the bedding he slept in and put the sheets back on the bed so we wouldn't have to worry about that after our long day of travel home (wow!). We're close with our neighbors and they commented when we returned from our trip how great Huston seemed with our dog and how kind of a person he was. I was a little nervous about handing our home and our beloved dog over to someone we didn't know, but Huston was awesome, trustworthy and kind, and I plan to ask him to help us every trip we go on.
Destiny provided house-sitting care for my daughter’s 2 year old Malamute-Husky mix, Kazami, on Thanksgiving day, and we so appreciated her availability on short notice. Kazami is an energetic girl and Destiny made sure she was exercised and had lots of play time. We’re so glad we found Destiny and look forward to working with her again!
Melina was so great with our dog Brisa who loves to be close to her humans, and Melina quickly and naturally became a favorite human of hers! Melina is very bright and personable, and very responsible and trustworthy. We would love to get her back to our home soon to take care of Brisa.
Nina was a lifesaver and agreed to watch Butterscotch last minute after another sitter cancelled. She asked great questions during the meet and greet, and was very communicative. My cat is very shy, but she seemed to really like Nina! Nina sent me lots of photos and videos of her cuddling and playing. I asked Nina to do a key exchange with another sitter, and Nina handled that extra snafu with ease. Very grateful for her!
