“Mary was great! She provided great updates and pictures of my dog! My dog was well taken care of. I will definitely ask her to take care of my dog again!!”
“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!”
About: I've fostered and taken care of reactive dogs as well as dogs with medical needs. I'm experienced in administering insulin and caring for senior dogs. I have a flexible work schedule and am happy to care for any pets on the weekends. On the weekdays, my schedule greatly varies so it would be best to directly contact me with inquiries. I offer house sitting and dog walking services. If your fur baby gets along with mine, I'm more than happy to care for them in my apartment. I have a balcony where my cat loves to watch the cars go by and also have access to a fenced in play area for dogs to run around in.
“Izchel was amazing! It was my first time using a dog/house sitter. She took great care of my 3 standard poodles. She stayed at my house with them & everything was neat & tidy & my dogs were calm & relaxed when I got home. She kept me updated while I was away & asked questions if she needed clarification. She went above & beyond, I will definitely use her again.”
“Don’t know how many times we can say how much we love and trust Scarlett with our babies. We have found our go-to care taker for them when we’re gone. Her and her daughter are amazing!”
“Many is such a wonderful person and we appreciate the love and care she provided to our four dogs at our home while we were away. We had a meet and greet before our departure and the dogs took to her right away! She provided us with updates letting us know if anything seemed off and when everyone was getting along well while we were away. The next trip we take, Mandy is going to be the first person we call. Thank you again for your help!”
“Pam was AMAZING with our 2 cats and our dog. We had her stay at our house and she was the perfect sitter. We had flight issues and she had no problem extending her stay for another night. It is scary leaving your pets, but Pam put our minds at ease! We will definitely be using her again (:”
“It was very evident how well Ashley took care of our little ones and home during her stay! We were gone for around 4 full days and got pictures with updates daily! She also left a little personal note with something she noticed I liked! We will be hoping to use her for upcoming trips again!!”
“Vanessa has helped with our dog before and we will absolutely ask her next time we need help. She is always here when she says she will be and sends updates and pictures to ease our minds.”
“Jamie was quick to fill in on a last minute request. She did a same day meet n greet and the dogs were immediately comfortable with her. She sent photos and updates the entire time she was housesitting with our 2 dogs and gave us peace of mind that they were in great hands while we traveled. Will be reaching out to her again when we travel.”
“Madison and her fiancé took such great care of Ollie for a week for us! I have no complaints. They went above and beyond and it was like we never left when we got home to our pup. He seemed happy, content and well taken care of!”
“Charles did an amazing job with Koda. I received daily updates and pictures on how he was doing. He was even even able to help out an extra night when our flight was cancelled. I would definitely book him again in the future.”
“Rose was wonderful an our pets loved her. I was nervous leaving my 14 year old dog for 11 days at our home but i couldnt of asked for a better sitter. She was great from the start. Responsive and communication through our entire trip. Would definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to my friends.”
“Madeline spent nearly two weeks with our boys while we took a trip and we couldn’t be happier! She continuously communicated with us, regardless of time zone differences, sent lots of pictures of them having fun, and kept our home in great condition. Madeline was professional and took great pride in the care of our boys. I’d give a 100 stars if I could!”
About: Hello, I'm Mylan! I have 6 years of dog walking and canine care experience. In the past I've walked small dogs, medium dogs, large dogs, senior dogs, high-energy dogs and multiple dogs at the same time (all with varying energy levels). I enjoy running and walking long distances with all dogs. In addition to walking I've done sitting for dog owners, cat owners, and rabbit owners (I also have experience caring for reptiles and fish!). Your dog's safety and comfort is my top priority, and I will take every measure necessary to ensure both. I will always bring bottled water and a clean bowl to keep your pet hydrated on long walks and runs. I can provide you with updates throughout the day with messages and pictures so you know what's going on with your dog. I am available all day Monday thru Friday and some weekend availability. I'm currently working part time so I have a lot of flexibility and energy for scheduling long or shorts walks and any care that is needed. I always put your pet's needs first, meaning that their safety and comfort are my top priority. I follow your instructions to the letter and I am not afraid to reach out with questions if I feel unsure about something.
“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!”
“Sarah is the best! Our Chai Boy loved his time with her! She had amazing communication from start to finish and sent lots of photos which we absolutely love! Highly recommend Sarah and will definitely book with her again!”
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! 😊
Ari was very responsive to the initial request visiting our dogs to see if she and they were a good fit. During the house sitting she arrived on time and provided video and text updates. She even stayed till we returned as our stubborn Brittany would not go in her kennel. Everything was easy and Ari was great, will use again.
