“Aleksandra was fantastic! I was in town for a day trip, needed coverage for my medical needs dog, she kept me up-to-date with pictures and details. Really appreciate the extra coverage and peace of mind!”


“Jarrod did an excellent job house/pet sitting for us. Our trip was only possible because of us feeling comfortable after meeting Jarrod. We appreciated that he sent pictures and didn’t hesitate asking questions when needed. We definitely would use Jarrod’s services again.”

“Sarah is a dream! She is communicative and made us feel comfortable leaving our 7 year old golden with her without any issues at all. She’s definitely our first call going forward !”


“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.”

“My old dog Frank enjoyed having Vanessa/Arlett stay with him. She was so nice and responsible, and sent multiple pictures each day and let me know how he was doing. She followed my instructions, and asked how to modify things when needed. I know Frank would be happy to see her again!”

“Roni was fabulous. She was great with my two cats. She sent lots of pics which helped me worry less. I could see she liked playing with them and was very loving. I highly recommend”

“Crystal stayed with my pups Bean & Benji for about a week. She was super communicative from the start and regularly sent updates/pics of my babies. Upon my return, the dogs were happy and healthy and my place was undisturbed. I’m SO grateful everything went smoothly and I was able to be in the moment at my sister’s wedding knowing my babies were in good hands. Will definitely keep Crystal at the forefront of my mind for the future. THANK YOU CRYSTAL!!!”

“Allison was wonderful! Very communicative and came home to a very happy, tired pup and tidy house. Felt very at ease knowing my dog was being cared for by her while away. So happy to have found her!”

“Kristin was great with our puppy Luna! She clearly has a lot of experience with puppies that's invaluable! She's joyful and has the perfect disposition to take her of dogs. Would hire her again any time!”


“Anna is very friendly and our dogs were very comfortable with her. She communicates well and kept our dogs and home safe while we were away. I highly recommend her and will be reaching out to her again for future dog sitting needs.”


About: I’ve always grown up around dogs. Growing up we had several black labs, and a golden retriever. I love animals and I have lots of experience with puppies. I’m an active person so taking your dog on a long walk is no problem for me! I’ve dog sat all kinds of dogs including a senior German shepherd for the last 8 years. I have a very flexible schedule that changes week to week. This means that when I’m watching your pet or walking your dog, my attention is able to be fully on them and I have availability throughout the week. I am very respectful of your space and treat it like it’s my own and try to leave it better than when I found it. That goes for your fur baby too!

About: I've always had pets ever since I was very little, I adore all pets. I have had many, and currently have kitties and a puppy! I know a lot on how to care for them, and love playing with them to keep them happy and stimulated. I currently spend most of my time at home with my own pets, I occasionally babysit family as well. I love spending time outside, and hiking with my pets too! When I do in home care or check-ups I always want to make sure the pet is well taken care for so I always check their water, food, and let them go potty if it's a dog. I play with each pet to make them happy and have a fun activity, also walks are great. I can walk for miles if you have a dog that loves or needs a long walk, I'm all about keeping your pet happy and healthy!

“Hung is one of the best pet sitters I’ve had off Rover so far. He is professional, communicative, actively anticipates any issues and ensures all your expectations and wants are known and met. Will be rebooking soon! Thanks for all the great videos and photos of Ghost!”


“When Nicholas took care of my pets, I can see how passionate he was. He communicates and updates us every time about our babies. I also love that he even takes time to go back to our place and take out our puppies during his lunch break.”

“Diana was incredible! She took Skye on so many walks and updated us multiple times a day! I can tell that Skye was really happy and we will definitely be using Diana again!”

“I have such a shy/skiddish dog who takes forever with new people. Andrea was so great! She house / dog sat while I away and kept me updated with photos and videos. I felt at ease immediately (I worry a lot so big compliment). I highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pup.”

“Paige is such a genuine human being. So kind and full of joy. She is so sweet with our dude (🐶). Not a worry in the world when we are away knowing Paige is there. Superstar.”

Core pet parents share their Rover experiences
So happy we found Kaitie! She completely exceeded our expectations. She sent the most amazing photos throughout the stay and kept communication open the whole time — it made being away so much easier knowing my guy was in good hands. When I came home, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had the time of his life. The house was clean and tidy. We'll absolutely be booking her again!

Evelyn is a wonderful sitter! She is proactively communicative and sends lots of pictures. She was amazing with our two terriers, one of whom is a little skittish because she is a rescue. I would highly recommend Evelyn and will definitely be requesting that she watch our pups again in the future!

So thankful Jade was available to watch my dog and cat! Daily pictures were great and my pets looked so content with no anxiety when I got back. She handled all instructions even with my older pup. She also left the place beyond clean and I would absolutely hire her again. Highly recommend!

Ivana was AMAZING!!! the sweetest soul and so willing to help us out us out in a last minute minute ! My sweet girl had a lot of fun with her and was so excited to meet her from the get go. Guava had been feeing sick for a couple of days and seemed like her normal self once Ivana came around, I think she was the little boost of she needed to get better. But felt so relaxed and comforted leaving her in her hands while she wasn’t feeling the best. 10/10 recommend 💕🙈
