Aleksandra did an amazing job with Louie. He’s an old man, and has many special needs. She did an amazing job of making me feel at peace knowing he is well cared for in her watch. I also got lots of pics while I was away, and updates throughout her stay. You can tell she really cares about what she does.

Vanessa was absolutely amazing and I can’t recommend her enough! 🐾❤️ She kept us updated with lots of pictures, videos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cared for our pets. 🥹 It truly felt like she loved them just as much as we do. She has such a big heart, and knowing she also volunteers with the Humane Society says so much about the kind of person she is. 🐶🐱💕 Our pets were happy, well cared for, and so loved. You can’t go wrong booking Vanessa. She is truly fantastic! ⭐️

What can you say about Vanessa besides the fact that she is amazing. On less than a day’s notice, she was kind enough to do a meet and greet and then house sit my pup for the week. Vanessa is extremely communicative and helpful. You’ll never have to guess about the status of your pup or home when she’s around. I felt extremely comfortable with her in my home and she even left it cleaner than she found it. I would recommend Vanessa to all of my friends and book her services again any time.

About: I’m a big animal person! I’ve always grown up with a number of different animals that, of course, includes cats and dogs. I’ve dog sat puppies, teenage, and senior dogs alike! I started dog sitting for friends and family when I was about 16, and have always lived with dogs. I super understand how fur babies are just like family and have a big heart for them! I’m currently a full time student and I work part time. I have been having an itch to spend time with dogs because they just make me happy to be honest! Life can be stressful, so I’d consider caring for your pups a stress relief and a middle booster for sure. I can’t exactly have my own dog at the moment, so I thought pet sitting might be the next best thing! I would follow the owners guidelines and make sure to take care of wolf their fur babies exactly how they would! Playing with them, feeding them, taking them out, and giving them cuddles whatever it may be! I have a cat who is my best friend so I understand how important these fur babies are to us!

Dominique took excellent care of my pups and my place. She followed the dog and house care instructions to the letter. They instantly took to her at the meet and greet. She sent tons of updates and pictures throughout the sitting. Will definitely always book her to care for my pups during any future getaways.

About: What sets me apart is that my love for animals comes with hands on experience! I worked at a dog daycare for over a year, where I cared for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. That experience taught me how to recognize different behaviors, make sure dogs feel safe and comfortable, and give each pet the individual attention they need. I also have years of experience caring for my own dog, so I understand how important it is to have someone you truly trust looking after your pet. Whether your pet loves lots of playtime and attention or needs a little extra patience and a calmer environment, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work full-time during the week, but I have plenty of availability in the evenings and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention. For overnight stays, I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I also have more flexibility on weekends and love spending my free time with animals! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any other special needs or preferences your pet may have. I make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and companionship while you’re away, while also respecting their space and personality. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own! I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: My approach to pet sitting is based upon knowledge, compassion, communication and trust. This sets a peaceful tone for both the pet and their owner. I'm a member of PSI (Pet Sitters International) and have taken many courses including dog body language, pet sitting essentials and pet first aid. I have a Pet CPR Certificate from the American Red Cross as well. I enjoy pet sitting in the clients home where I can create a customized approach to caring for the needs of their pet and their owner. I also excel at dog walking. When walking your dog, I pay close attention to how they're interacting with the environment and always keep their health and safety as a priority. I look forward to working with you and your beloved pet! I am available 7 days a week 7am-8pm with over-nights being an option as well. I'm happy to work with you on finding the right schedule for the both of us. When caring for a pet in the client's home, I first learn the habits of the pet from the owner. This includes: their feeding schedule, medications needed, hiding places, their behavior toward people and other animals, potty habits etc. From there I create an environment of comfort for the pet making sure they are played with, fed, walked and rested. During this time, I stay in contact with the owner and update them with notes and photos of their pet.

Literally one of the best rovers I’ve ever had. He sent numerous pictures throughout the day, sent multiple updates, took care of the house and made sure to help my old pup be as comfortable as possible while I was gone. I will 100% be booking him again and as soon as I know I have plans. Thank you so much!

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’m happy to provide plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets who may need a little extra patience or attention. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel happy, comfortable, and cared for—and for you to feel completely confident while you’re away! I also work fully remote and I am available during the weekdays! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while still maintaining a consistent routine. Because I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m also flexible with different schedules and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away! I’ve been caring for coworkers’, friends’, and family members’ pets for over 8 years. I don’t have pets of my own, so I’m able to give your pet my full attention. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment while following their normal routine and your care instructions closely!

Luz was absolutely amazing! She stayed at my home with my two dogs while I was out of town for the weekend and was incredibly attentive throughout the entire stay. She sent lots of texts and photo updates, which was amazing and made me feel super comfortable knowing my girls were happy and being well taken care of. She was also an amazing house guest, I came home to my apartment just as clean, if not cleaner, than when I left! Most importantly, the dogs were happy and clearly well cared for. I felt completely confident having her stay with them and will 100% be booking her again for future trips. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

As new to Rover we were nervous about new sitters. Janet was a sigh of relief during our meet & greet; we quickly booked a 2 day/night trial stay. The stay went extremely well with her paying close attention to our pet’s needs, keeping them safe, fed on schedule, and medicated as instructed.. We occasionally contacted Janet with specific requests which she handled professionally and without issue. Janet is a responsible house/pet sitter and is a nice addition to our contact list for when we travel.

She was also incredibly respectful of our home—we came back to everything clean, organized, and very well cared for. Most importantly, our 13-week-old puppy, Marlowe, was clearly loved and well cared for. Brooke did a great job keeping her on her routine and making sure she was comfortable and happy while we were away. We had a great experience and would absolutely book Brooke again!

As novices on rover, we were quite nervous about trial-runs with new sitters. Our meet & greet with Brenda was very impressive with her extensive background in animal care, work with shelters and rescues; we quickly booked a trial-run with her for the following two days/nights. The trial-run went extremely well. Anytime we contacted her for anything, she course-corrected as requested. She was great with our fur babies, making sure they were safe, ate well and were medicated as instructed. Brenda is a great find! She is at the top of our contact list for pet care and house-sitting while we travel.
