“Paige was great. She was responsible and did a wonderful job taking care of our little boy and girl. Including looking out for other not typical parts of the housesitting experience. We would definitely hire her again.”
“Olivia was perfect in every way! Especially because it was my first time leaving my puppy for an overnight trip. Her communication, presence and genuine care allowed me to feel confident going away. She also made it feel so natural to synch up with the rhythm and schedule my pup and I had going which I have found rare, but so essential. And he is a growing 5-6 month old puppy. I will absolutely reach out to her first the next time I go away or need a sitter for my pup.”
“Kaitlin was a wonderful companion and caregiver to our suite and shy dog Sadie. She came over and stayed with our dog while we were out of town and I could not be more pleased. She won our dog over with her sweetness and caring, and our dog has a hard time trusting anyone! She showed Sadie the love that she needed and was phenomenal! I would hire her again and again!!!!!”
“William was so great with the dogs! We asked him to house sit and to be with the dogs for a few days. He came by a couple of days before we left to get familiar with them, so they'd be comfortable. He sent updates in the morning and night and said that he played with the dogs a lot. I could see that the pups really enjoyed/benefitted from having him around. He's a pretty cool dude and we'll definitely be asking him to dog sit in the future! 10/10 would recommend.”
“We had Grace watch our two anxious and energetic dogs while we went away for a long weekend and she was wonderful! Lots of pictures, quick responses, followed all the guidance we gave, and left the house clean as well! I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends looking for a sitter!”
About: Grew up with rottweilers, great danes, labs, and pitbulls. Also spent lots of time around farm animals with my family or when I volunteer. I am currently a SDHS foster as well! I am a college student working part time so my days usually have many breaks throughout them as my classes usually arent back to back. I have the utmost respect for you and your home and want nothing more than to help you and your pet out with the help needed.
“María watched our 6 month old puppy for several days, and she is fantastic! She gave us frequent updates and took a lot of great pictures. She made sure our pup was well cared for and had fun while we were gone! She is very compassionate and an animal lover. On top of taking great care of our pup, she also took time to make sure our apartment was tidy when we got home. We will definitely have María look after our pup in the future!”
“Stephanie did a great job house sitting for us on short notice. The dogs, the cat, and the house were all well taken care of. We got updates and photos daily and felt comfortable right from our meet and greet. We'd definitely book again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and first time leaving any of my dogs under anyone’s care, but Liz gave me so much ease when I went out of town to visit my family. From first meeting Bane, she was very open to learning about him to ensure she knew how to care for him while I was away. While I was away, Liz shared pictures and reached out with updates. I had lost signal having been in the mountains but I wasn’t worried knowing Bane was with her. When I returned home, everything was in its place. Liz went the extra mile here. Bane looked happy and well rested too. I couldn’t be happier knowing Liz is someone we can trust”
“Chase was so great with my fur babes! He sent videos and stayed with them the entire time. From the videos I could see they loved him. They followed him around and were their usual selves which tells us a lot from watching them with different people they don’t know. He spent time with them outside and hung out with our rabbit too. We would love to have him back in the future!”
“This is the second time we’ve had Stella stay at our home with our dog and have been 100% happy with her stay! She’s very communicative and sends lots of pictures- I can see how much my dog likes her! And it somehow looks like nobody was even in the house when we return home. Highly recommend!”
“Callahan was amazing! She sent several updates, and it seemed like Ollie had a super fun week. I even had a neighbor ask who my friend was watching him because she was such a natural with him! I can't recommend enough.”
“Karilou stayed in our home with our senior dog and puppy while we were out of town and she was fabulous! She sent lots of pictures, reached out if she had questions, and even rescued a little creature in our backyard! Our senior dog needs quite a few pills—and Karilou was sure she give her all her meds. We felt confident and comfortable with Karilou in our home and will 100% book her again!”
“Sabrina was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my sensitive boy while I was gone, sent many updates, and stayed on top of his medications. He was so happy when I got home. I highly recommend her!”
“Sarah is a truly great sitter! She’s reliable. D always shows up on time and checks in at multiple points throughout the stay. She sends great photos and she’s very thoughtful and respectful of my space. Often leaving it cleaner than when she arrived. I will absolutely use her again!”
“Sage was WONDERFUL! My little fur baby can be quite the handful (she’s very hyperactive), and Sage was so great with her! She constantly sent me pictures and assurances that my dog was doing great while I was away. She definitely helped ease the worry I had from being away from my baby!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities. My own dog is now a senior and can't enjoy the long walks and hikes we used to take together, so I'd love the opportunity to spend that time with other dogs who still enjoy those adventures. I've been caring for neighbors', family friends', and relatives' dogs since I was young, giving me experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I've also helped with puppy training and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. I'm flexible, dependable, and detail-oriented. Whether your dog needs a strict routine followed closely or a customized schedule based on their individual needs, I'll make sure they receive attentive, loving care. My goal is to treat every dog like my own and give owners peace of mind while they're away. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I work part-time both from home and at a local coffee shop, but my shifts are typically only about four hours long. This makes it easy for me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, walks, and check-ins. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to fit pet care into my daily routine and give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. When caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine. For house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and household rules. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, so I take time to build trust and make sure they feel secure while you are away. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for in their own familiar environment.
“Wonderful sitter! She took great care of our pets, came over for a meet and greet beforehand, listened patiently as I explained my older dogs needs, and was communicative while we’re gone. She left the house clean and tidy and was a pleasure to get to know.”
“I was so nervous to leave my 10 wk old puppy. Hayden showed up on time, took care of her and left my house looking tidy. Hes a nice young man, I really appreciate how well he took care of my baby”

Lauren was a complete pleasure! Super responsive, frequent updates, and the dogs LOVE her! We had zero worries being out of the country, knowing that she had everything under control. Very tidy, responsible, detail-oriented and truly cares about our furry friends when we can’t be there! Highly recommend Lauren for dog-sitting and house-sitting.
Brittany was simply awesome. She is very communicative and thoughtful, and really cares about making sure you have peace of mind that your dogs are in good hands while away. She goes above and beyond to make sure the pets are having fun, too! Cannot thank Brittany enough for her help.
This is the first time for Kaitlin to sit with our new tripawd rescue, Chilly. We haven't yet been able to leave Chilly for more than a couple hours. Working on that ..... Kaitlin was super responsive, understood our needs and Chilly's. She set up a meeting and greet and Chilly took to her. On the day, Chilly was comfortable with her and Kaitlin put my mind at ease to be out of the house for the first time in a couple months. I look forward to being able to have a sitter with experience with a quirky, special needs dog.
I met Audrey while she was walking my neighbor’s dog and instantly liked her. I booked her that day to stay with my pup and I’m so glad I did. Audrey is communicative, reliable and professional. She took wonderful photos of Kirby and sent updates so I felt completely at ease while I was gone. Thank you Audrey!
I’m so grateful to have found Evelyn! I tend not to go out of town because my three kitties usually get nervous about my absence (I wfh). I have always just had a neighbor pop by twice per day and call it good. Last time I was away for a few days, I came home and the cat dynamic in the house had changed for the worse. I feared I couldn’t ever go out of town or leave for longer than a few hours without causing them harm. I wanted to take my daughter on an end-of-summer adventure vacation, and set to find a solution that would be good for everyone. I knew it would be better for the fur babies to have someone just stay with them at the house to make sure they felt safe and cared for, but didn’t have anyone I could ask. I was cautious about inviting a stranger onto my home to stay while I was gone, but looked into Rover because I’ve only heard good things. I’m so glad I did, because I found an angel in Evelyn! Evelyn came over a few days before we left for our trip to meet the cats and find out about how we care for them so there is as little disruption as possible. Evelyn was so kind and professional and thorough! She asked a bunch of questions about our routine and house care (i.e., plant maintenance, etc) and wrote down all care instructions. I could tell she truly cared about animals and I found trust came very easily with her. While on our trip, I received pics and notes about what the kitties were up to and knew that they were being fed and played with and cared for. They looked like they were just going about their normal day and getting as much pets as they wanted! One of the babies looked to have taken very well to Evelyn. :) I felt so much better about being away from home, and enjoyed my vacation sooooo much more, knowing such a caring and thoughtful person was looking after them. I felt comfortable with her staying in my home and had a good feeling that she was respecting our home space. I came home to a tidy and easy-feeling vibe in the house. I hope she can come fill in for us for all of our trips out of town. Thank you so much, Evelyn!!
Karen took such wonderful care of our pets and our home while we were away. We came home to happy pets and a tidy house, and she kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. We really appreciated how reliable and attentive she was. We would 100% recommend Karen to anyone looking for a great sitter and would absolutely love to have her stay again!
Liz is one of the few people I trust to watch Bane besides my friends. I’m extremely grateful. It’s hard to leave him but Liz has helped give me a lot of relief knowing he’s in trusted hands. In addition to watching Bane, Liz house sits and leaves everything clean. I never have to worry once I know she’s with him. I always come home to Bane happy, fed, and clean. I would highly recommend Liz to anyone and have only kind things to say as does Bane :)
Crystalinda was absolutely wonderful, trustworthy and so caring of our dog and cat. Our dog has medical needs had some issues and needed to go to the vet, Crystalinda was amazing and took her without fuss during the stay. She left our house cleaner than she found it and made our trip very easy. I could not recommend her more.
Sage is a repeat care provider for our dog. She is thoughtful, caring, and loved by our pup! Sage went above and beyond when caring for our pup for the last 2 weeks. She was very communicative with in-depth daily updates and pictures which made us feel comfortable during our trip away. She even cleaned our home to make our return comfortable which was beyond what was expected. We greatly appreciate Sage!!
Charlie was amazing! She took excellent care of my pets and let me know how everything was going. My dog looked so happy in the pictures and not stressed like she has been when I’ve been gone in the past. My cats actually played! I have two cats that are not very friendly or playful but the pictures showed them playing! It was awesome. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to take wonderful care of your critters!
