“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”

“Kristie looked after out pit-mix and cat for a weekend and was fantastic. She was gracious and asked great questions during our initial meet and greet. She gave us updates and pics throughout the weekend. She was such a calm presence for our animals while we were away. Our home was clean and looked great, when we returned. We would definitely rebook with her. Thank you Kristie!”

“Chyna has been outstanding! I have left my baby with her many times. She is very sweet and professional. She sends you many pictures during the day and keep us posted. I would recommend her without any hesitation. I already have rescheduled for my future vacation. She is the best!”


“Johana was very helpful with watching our babies. We have a dog that is very anxious with new people and Johana came over twice before her stay to help make him more comfortable. She stayed and took great care of our dogs and cats while we were out of town.”

“Where to even start? If you were thinking of booking Scarlett do so right now because she is the BEST thing to ever happen to us when it comes to someone caring for our babies when we’re gone. She’s so accommodating, empathetic, caring and sweet. She treats not just the animals but the owners like family as well. I don’t think there are enough letters in the alphabet for me to string together the perfect words to describe her. We have found our go-to person for any trips we do on and are so grateful for her. She has become not only our pet sitter but our friend as well and our fur babies love her. Best Rover sitter ever!”

“Mandy did such a wonderful job taking care of Brownie while we were out of town. It was Brownie’s first stay as an only dog as his sister recently passed the rainbow bridge so we were nervous about leaving him for so many days but Mandy eased the worry. She took many photos and gave regular updates. We will 100 percent use her again.”

“Robyn & Steven were WONDERFUL house sitters and made us feel at ease leaving our 2 cats behind while we were away on vacation. They were very quick to respond to my messages and provided regular updates on how the cats were doing. 100% would recommended them!!!”

“Cathryn is wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Lucy who is highly energetic. She kept us updated with pictures each day and was accommodating when things popped up. This was our first time using rover after changing dog sitters and I’m so thankful we found her!”

“Jamie did a wonderful job taking care of our pets! Always quick to respond, and can absolutely handle any needs or requests you might have. We’ll definitely ask her back in the future!”

About: I’ve always had a strong passion for animals, and their welfare and enrichment is extremely important to me. I have multiple years of experience with newborn kittens and puppies, as well as senior animals. I know how to administer medication, and well as emergency procedures such as CPR and the Heimlich maneuver. I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship—not just quick visits. I also enjoy being active, so walks and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to incorporating into my routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific preferences—so your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just relaxing companionship, depending on their personality and energy level. I’m very mindful of their behavior and will keep an eye out for any changes in mood, appetite, or health. I also respect your home by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. After visits, I double-check doors, gates, and anything related to your pet’s safety. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and cared for, and for you to feel completely comfortable trusting me in your home.
“Lauren is an exceptional sitter. She really understood the different needs of our dogs and was conscientious in every way. She was also very communicative and took great care of our home. We look forward to booking her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young and currently in school to become a professional dog trainer. I currently own a large dog myself but I have had every size dog and multiple breeds I currently have a full time job mon through Fri but I am able to check in through out the day and weekends are always available. A lot of stimulant, playing, walking, maybe some new tricks! No dog just wants to be bored all day so I make sure they’re entertained throughout my time with them
“Great sitter for your house and animals! Kept us updated with pics and left the house as good if not better than she found it! We had a great experience working with her and our animals were well taken of. Would highly recommend!”
“Therisa (TJ) was fantastic staying in our home to watch our very rambunctious Great Dane and pointer/lab mix. She was very communicative and gave me detailed updates about the pups and her stay at our house. We highly recommend Therisa and we look forward to being able use her services again in the future. Thank you!”

About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet sitter who truly enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have reliable transportation to your furbabies. I have hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including personal care, drop-ins, in-home sitting, training my own dogs, and raising puppies and litters of cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always follow care instructions closely. I currently do not work so I am available any day or time throughout the week and weekend. I have no preference for time of day or time of night. While in a clients home I’ll give your fur baby all the attention in the world but also respect when an animal wants their own space. I’m quick to recognize body language on an animal. I’ll always be checking food and water. Play with them if any toys are available
About: I care for 3 dogs, 9 cats, & more in a happy, healthy, and clean home. Animals and their wellbeing is central to my life at home. I'm happy to offer my caring attention to your family as well! I am a local middle school teacher who's off for the summer, so I am free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Open to long or short term work. Each species has it's own language, each breed it's own dialect, and each animal a unique personality. After years of caring for my own animals, I understand that nothing is more important than looking and listening when they attempt to communicate.
“Philip was available to meet at the last minute and was very flexible in meeting up to meet my dog. He had responsive communication during the whole time I went out of town . My dog was very happy and well taken care of. I am so glad to find someone to keep my dog for in the future. Thank you Philip!”

Commonwealth pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jordan was thrown into a situation of me being out of town for 4 days while my pupper was sick, but she did great keeping me informed and offering to go above and beyond in making sure my dog ate and got her meds. She sent lots of pics, and I did not feel stressed during my trip even under the circumstances, I knew my babies were in good hands - highly recommend Jordan and will be using her for future trips :)

Phillip was great with my dogs! I have 2 puppies, a 2year old and 3yr old puppy full of energy! Phillip took them for a lot of walks and sent pictures of them playing outside getting out there energy. I had to change plans last minute and add an extra day, and Phillip was very accommodating and always quick to respond!

Emily was FANTASTIC! She was prompt to respond and sent me pictures of my babies without me even having to ask. And she didn't charge extra, like lots of other services. She is my new "go to" any time I'm out of town and can't take my dogs. And the price was unbeatable. I felt so comfortable with her dogsitting my angels. Thank you, Emily!
Shelby was an amazing sitter for my 2-large, needy fur babies! She is kind, and made sure my fur babies were comforted throughout all of the fireworks over 4th of July weekend. Shelby left my house clean as if she had not been here at all. While here, Shelby was communicative, with updates on medication, feedings, treats, playing fetch and long walks, as well as how my dogs were doing overall. My dogs loved her and I look forward to having her sit with them again. I highly recommend Shelby for your pet sitting and pet walking needs. She’s awesome! 😊
