“We hired Allyson to house sit and watch our 2 labs for 11 days. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous. But Allyson did a wonderful job watching over our house and our fur babies! She sent us daily pictures and updates throughout our time away and definitely put our minds at ease!”

6. Andrew C. T.
“Andrew did an excellent job house sitting our dog and cat. It was the first time my husband and I had hired a house sitter and we very much appreciated the work and time he put into putting us at ease. We found him to be trustworthy, honest, very responsive, and kind. I was also grateful to see that he understands both cat and dog behavior (an uncommon characteristic, I've found!) and let our fur babies get used to him in their own time. I hope to book with him again in the future!”

11. Brianna S.
“Brianna is amazing! This was my first time using Rover as my kennel experiences haven’t been the best lately and knowing my boy is much happier at home I was so thankful I found Brianna! She has a great personality! Ace loves her and after getting home I can tell he was way more at ease than the past couple of times I left him in the care of others. She was punctual and sent updates and pics throughout her stay which is very comforting when you worry about your four legged baby as much as I do! She took care of our home and even left it a bit tidier than I did!! I have already booked her again and as much as I want to keep her all to myself she deserves a great review!”
12. Emily W.

She has a great personality and you can tell that she loves animals she was very good with Charlie I will definitely book with her again”
17. Andrea M.
“I go out of town every so often to visit family and can’t bring my 90 pound dog, 50 pound dog, or my cats with me. She’s able to feed them on the schedule I have set for them so that works out great. We usually let the dogs out back often during the day and she’s been able to keep up with their routines. My animals have been taken care of well under her supervision.”

19. BRENDA K.
“What a comfort knowing Phin was home and taken such good care of with Brenda! He lights up when he sees her so I know being away on vacation for a week didn't stress him out and found love and comfort with Brenda each day. Thank you!!!!”
20. Precious M.
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, turtles, and hamsters! I've also worked in a veterinary hospital for a bit and have learned so much while working there. I truly love pets and would love a part time gig doing something I love and am good at! I work full time (8 to 5) but can be available before and after my job, and have open availability on the weekends. Depending on location, I can service on my lunch breaks. I currently have no pets of my own and would not watch any other pets other than yours at a time. I live in a first floor apartment with a patio, and there is a nice size dog park inside my complex! There is also plenty of grass and sidewalks in the area for long walks. I do not own a crate and would need to be provided one if your pet requires one.
