“This was my first time using a service like Rover and I was pretty nervous about it but aleksandra came to meet me on her own time to meet the pups and introduce herself and I thought that was so professional and nice of her because it really put me at peace. She sent photos of my pups all weekend and I swear my house looks nicer than it did before I left lol. She is a wonderful caregiver for my dogs and such a nice person too. I'll be using her for sure everytime I travel.”
“Andrea is so sweet. My dog is pretty hype. I could immediately see Andrea’s calm presence made my dog calm. She kept me informed when she watched my dog and my cat. Sent cute pics and gave updates. I’m so happy we found her!”
“Halle was extremely responsible and attentive to Cooper and Milo and as an added bonus, took fantastic pictures which she sent us regularly to let us know all was well. Our house can be a little tricky to take care of and Halle was a real trooper when learning everything. I highly recommend her and plan to book her first when we need house/ pet sitting again..”
“Vanessa was so kind and flexible with us as our plans shifted. She took great care of our puppy Tulip and our home. We look forward to working with her again soon!”
About: I have extensive experience in pet care, including fostering both well-behaved and troubled dogs, rescuing and transporting deaf dogs, and organizing neighborhood doggy dates. Additionally I provide pet sitting for family and friends, and participate actively in the local pet community with my two beautiful dogs. As I establish myself here on Rover, I am happy to accommodate the needs of your pet and family. Open communication is a must for reliability and for the best care of your furry friend! As we start this journey together, I would prefer to care for you dog(s) in the environment they feel most safe in. Any further services may be discussed as needed.
“Sarah did a great job house sitting with my fur baby. She kept to his schedule, made sure he got his walks, and was comfortable at home. She communicated updates regularly which I appreciated. The house was clean when I returned. I would definitely book with Sarah again!”
“Mara's experience as a trainer and gentle nature has been a treat for Jack and I. We're new to house sitting and while Jack was well cared for during her stay, her updates and feedback helped us to orient > gain confidence in the process. She left no trace in my home and I was greeted by a widely smiling pooch :)”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, and I still light up every time I meet a new friend! At home, I share my apartment with my very vocal black cat, Pinot, and an equally vocal senior Aussie/Border Collie named Eve. Both animals love making new friends! I have a flexible schedule and can easily accommodate your pet’s needs—whether that’s early mornings, late nights, medication times, or just extra snuggles and play. My place or yours, I keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching. I follow routines, respect house rules, and make sure everyone gets love, play, and full bowls.
“Crystal is absolutely fantastic! She recently took care of our home, dog, and cat, and we couldn’t be more impressed with her professionalism, reliability, and genuine care. Our dog, who can be a bit shy with new people, has buddied up to her. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while I was away. Not only did she ensure our animals were happy, healthy, but she also went above and beyond to keep my house spotless and organized. It was such a relief to come home to a clean space and happy fur babies. Crystal is trustworthy, kind, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can depend on!”
“Met Allison first through a meet and greet, we immediately felt comfortable with her staying at our house and caring for our two pups! Responsible, clean, communicative and made sure to love on our babies which is the most important part! Definitely would recommend to anyone and will be asking for her again!”
“Alexis was amazing! I've always done check-ins and never used house-sitting, and Alexis was so helpful and responsive during the booking process, along with the meet-and-greet and planning process. She also communicated frequently during my trip, and as a bonus, she made a gorgeous drawing of my sweet pup, and left it as a surprise. My next house/pet sitter WILL be her!”
“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! ⭐️”
“Vanessa did a fantastic job taking care of my cat and dog! She was very communicative each day, sending pictures, answering questions, and providing updates. She is a great option for your pet care needs and will be my go to rover going forward! Thanks Vanessa!”
“Paige was able to watch our pup last minute when he got a mild case of Kennel Cough and we had a trip planned. She gave us updates, administered meds, and gave Finn lots of snuggles. We are SO thankful for her, and 10000% would recommended her to anyone!”
“Valeria was absolutely wonderful! My pup settled in quickly and looked completely at home in her care and she kept me updated with photos and messages throughout his stay. She was also incredibly accommodating as plans changed and went above and beyond to help make sure Beau was safe, comfortable, and well cared for.”
“Evelyn was so amazing and did such a great job watching our girl Ryan! She sent so many photos and updates - I never had to worry and knew she was getting well taken care of. It made us enjoy our trip that much more! Thank you again Evelyn!”
“Kristin is the best! My dog loves her and I feel so comfortable when she’s watching him. I know he’s being well taken care of and I can just relax and enjoy my time away. Don’t hesitate to book her!”
“Sarah was an excellent dog and house sitter. We left for 10 days and felt completely comfortable and at ease with Sarah being with our two dogs. She provided regular updates, gave them snuggles, played with them and was great watering our plants while we were away to keep the house nice. Our dogs love her so it was a match made in heaven!”

Kelly was wonderful and we are so grateful we found her. She was quick to respond and available last minute, which we really appreciated. This was our first time leaving our dog, so it was incredibly stressful for us. Kelly did an amazing job taking care of our girl and helping us feel more comfortable while we were away. My husband and I both work from home, so our dog is used to having us around most of the day and is not used to being alone for long periods. Kelly made sure to adapt to our dog’s schedule, routine, and needs. She sent us pictures and videos, which really helped reassure us that our dog was doing well. Kelly was flexible, attentive, and very caring toward both our dog’s needs and our concerns as anxious pet parents. Seeing how well our dog did with her gave us so much peace of mind. We are very glad we found Kelly and would definitely ask her to take care of our girl again in the future.
I was going for a brief trip out of town and Elijah was responsive and ready to help. After he came for a meet and greet with my dog, I felt confident leaving her with him. Throughout the trip, Elijah provided updates and pics. House was the same as when I left. Would definitely book again.
Our family was in a huge pinch after our puppy needed surgery 5 days before we were scheduled for a long-planned family trip. Ilana was willing to step in and provide care in a very challenging situation. We felt comfortable leaving after meeting her...and she was exceptionally kind and patient and diligent about sending us updates throughout her stay. Even with restless nights and extra cleaning, we always knew the dogs were safe and being cared for as much as possible. Would recommend her without reservation, and hope to use her again in the future under happier and healthier circumstances.
Austin house sit for us for 6 days to take care of our Mini Schnauzer. I can tell she really likes him and that's what matters most! He's friendly, sent photos each day, and kept our home clean. We have already booked him again for some upcoming walks. We will definitely request him again for future doggy care needs.
Sarah was awesome! She watched our dog and cat for 10 nights and you could tell they were more than comfortable with her. She made them feel very loved and she was exceptionally helpful with our dog who has bad anxiety with fireworks. She was extremely communicative and sent great pictures and updates. She even helped water all of our plants and the house was just as clean as we left it. We will definitely use Sarah again!
Andrea was absolutely incredible! My dog has extreme separation anxiety, and she went above and beyond to make him feel safe and comfortable. She stepped in at the last minute over a holiday weekend, completely saving us when we needed help most. She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and sent frequent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She treated my dog like her own, was incredibly responsible, kept everything clean, and was always willing to help in any way she could. Andrea truly exceeded every expectation. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable. We are so grateful for her and will definitely book with her again!
Mara was amazing. In our initial meet and greet she asked such thoughtful questions that left us feeling very comfortable with her ability to keep our pups safe while we were gone. She was very communicative and took the cutest pictures. We’d love to have her back!
Emily took care of our 3 medium/large dogs and gave us great updates each day, that were very accurate to their personalities and shared adorable pictures of them while we were away! We felt super reassured with Emily and would love to have her watch our pups again! We came home to a clean house and happy dogs!!
Abigail was an amazing Rover - highly recommend. This was our first time using Rover and she did a great job educating on how the process works. She requested a meet and greet beforehand which was amazing for us both. We have a 6 month golden retriever who is still very much in puppy phase, Abigail was really patient and attentive. She stayed at our house so our dog had minimal change - we appreciated the in home care, somewhat last minute. Abigail sent multiple photos and videos a day, putting our mind at ease. She was extremely communicative and 10/10 to work with + our puppy seemed to love her. Recommend to anyone needed a Rover, will absolutely be booking her again!
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.

Yulissa was so friendly and competent and did a great job sitting for my two huskies! She gave me plenty of updates and pictures and made sure they got as much exercise as they needed, would definitely book her again and recommend her for anyone’s dog sitting/dog walking needs!
Halle was punctual, very communicative and thoughtful during her stay with our puppy. She left our home clean and bed sheets freshly washed, she took great care of our pup sending multiple updates per day and taking her on multiple walks. We would love to have Halle again next time.
