“I was really on the fence about taking our yearly family vacation. We have three dogs, including a one year old dachshund puppy who is high energy and has typical dachshund idiosyncrasies (they’re not an easy breed). And we needed heavy house sitting / time commitment given the puppy. Saralyn and Charlene were absolute gifts - the dogs were so loved and I managed to not worry about my brood during a much needed break. We would not have been able to take this trip without them. Fantastic communication and the house was left immaculate. Highly recommend! We hope to use their services again!”
“Chad is excellent. He communicates in a clear, professional and timely manner. My home is always just as I left it. My dogs are happy and well cared for when I return. I often have slight adjustments to schedule (stopping by my house, arriving home earlier than planned) he is accommodating, patient and gracious. One of my dogs is a senior and requires some extra care and attention. I feel very comfortable that Chad attends to all of my senior boy’s needs. Very grateful to have Chad to take care of my 2 dogs and highly recommend! Thank you, Chad!”
“Helen was awesome! She took great care of Lily and the house. She walked Lily often, sent pictures multiple times each day, proactively stripped the bed and put them in the washer. It was so nice to be able to focus on my time in mexico, and not worry about my girl Lily….thank you Helen”
“Once again Amanda took care of everything and I was able to leave my animals and never worry about them. She kept in contact with me and provided little updates daily…I trust her completely and will only leave if I can get on her schedule. She is my forever care giver.”
“I’m so happy I found Lisa! I’m a little bit of a neurotic mom to a dog that has separation anxiety, that I rescued about seven years ago. Chrissy was well taken care of not to mention the great care she took of my home while she was here.”
“Charlotte is super sweet and took great care of my fur babies! She sent me pictures and updates so I was always confident that they were being well taken care of. We have one dog, who is very nervous around new people, but instantly warmed up to Charlotte's calm and confident demeanor.”
“Annabelle was great with our cats. One is shy and she won her over within a couple days. She also brought our mail in and watered our plants which we really appreciated.”
“Edelyn took great care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. She put extra effort into taking care of our home too. We would definitely book with her again. She’s very dedicated in taking care of animals.”
“Jamie was so kind and loving to our rescue pup Olivia! She gave her lots of cuddles and treats- Olivia didn’t even notice we were gone! She provided updates throughout the day with pictures too! Will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Jen is a fantastic and reliable friend to our fur-kid Gromit. She is always very responsive, even last minute, and reliable. We know Gromit loves her and enjoys his time out and about with her. Her attention to care and updating us on how he is doing via texts and photos is wonderful and we recommend her 100%!”
“Will definitely reach out to Stephanie again when we need someone to stay. She stayed at the house with our two kitties. We received pics and updates on how they were doing. Couldn’t be happier with our first experience with Rover!! THANK YOU!!!”
“Nancy is amazing. My two pups adore Nancy. Nancy stayed with my pups for 5 days and everything and everyone was wonderful when we arrived back home. Nancy sent apictures every day along with a synopsis of their day.”

I am very passionate about dogs, and am currently on the pre veterinary track in college, and I know I can give your pets the best care possible! I am home from college for the summer from June-late August and have a lot of availability every day of the week! I would be happy to take care of your pets at any time of the day.

Jennifer was wonderful. She kept me updated on my furbaby's status at all times, so I did not worry, even though I was halfway around the world. She sent pics and texts to reassure me he was doing well in my absence. Cannot provide a higher recommendation. Atticus says Thank you!
When a family member cancelled on me last minute, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Found and booked Matthew last minute before an 8 day trip and he was nothing short of amazing. As this was my first time leaving my girl Aya with anyone other than family/friends, Matthew graciously agreed to meet us prior to his stay and gave me the confidence she’d be in great hands. Matthew was very responsive, provided updates as requested, and took excellent care of Aya. Additionally, Matthew cleaned up my place and even washed the sheets for my return. 11/10 would recommend & will most certainly be using him moving forward!
Lauren was fantastic with our two dogs! She was such a trooper for staying at our home- only 5 days post moving in, so the house had boxes everywhere! Our dogs are very needy and demand a lot of attention and affection, and they loved her! We will definitely continue to work with her for all our future trips!
Jordan did an OUTSTANDING house/pet sitting job for us. We were gone for a week and she stayed in our home and took care of our small senior dog Henry and our two indoor cats Zelda and Vito. She sent pictures and texts and kept our home neat and clean. I highly recommend her and will use her again when we travel (if she's available - she's wonderful!)
Josh went above and beyond watching my pup. I would highly recommend his services. Josh provided all the walks, love, and attention my pup needed while I was out of town. Josh was great at communicating and also took the time to make sure my pup was sufficiently walked. 10 out of 10! Thanks, Josh!
We had a great experience with Kiara! She stayed at our home for three nights to watch our dogs and did a wonderful job. The dogs were happy and well cared for, and the house was left spotless. We’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter.
Dawn did a great job with our dogs. She came to our house several times a day and spent time with them and also stayed the night. My dogs were very happy and being able to stay in our home was a lot less stressful for both us and our dogs. First time using Rover, very happy with the services Dawn provided.
