“If you love your dog like they were your own child, then book Tonia! I’d give Tonia six stars if I could. Her patience and kindness with humans such as I, and animals like my dog, were superb! She knows that dogs are dogs and is understanding when they behave as such. My dog is not comfortable in kennels, when other sitters have that as a norm, she lets them hang out as close to her as they want, all the time. She treated my dog (my kid) like her own and she appreciates the familial love my dog and I share.”
“Flexible with scheduling and responsive, both are dogs were well taken care of and weren't anxious when we picked them up or the next day (meaning they felt comfortable there). Definitely would recommend”
“Brianna is an amazing sitter. Our puppy Shiloh spent 10 days over the Christmas and new year break while we were abroad. Brianna took amazing care of him. She sent daily pictures and videos and took care of him as if he was her baby. When we picked up Shiloh, he was happy and well cared for. We are so thankful for Brianna who provided a warm and loving home for our Shiloh while we were away. We could not be happier with the service and Brianna is now our go to sitter! We strongly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.”

“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Allison and family. He was well cared for and we got lots of status update pics. This was our first visit and we will be return customers when the next need comes up.”
“Sarah was great and my little girl doggy enjoyed playing with her little pups- also , I loved getting a video and a picture as well . I would definitely use her service again and recommend her as well.”
“Dirk was great! He sent us photos throughout our trip, which we really appreciated—it was so nice to see Oscar happy and well taken care of while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We’d definitely book with him again! Thank you Dirk :)”
“Sydney was amazing. This is the first time using Rover. We met up with Sydney at her place. Atlas and I felt very at ease with Sydney. She took him for walks and over to the park we regularly take him to. I will definitely use Sidney again and high recommend her!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. I’ve been watching and caring for pets for friends, family, and others since I was around 12 years old. My experience includes overnight stays, daily pet sitting, dog walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I also have a little pup of my own named Gus, and he’s a weenie dog! 🐶 He’s definitely my best little buddy, and having him has given me even more experience with the day-to-day care, routines, and attention that dogs need. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles, and love. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your pets, and I’m happy to provide updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while you’re away! Pet care fits really well into my daily schedule! I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. Since I have my own dog, Gus, I’m used to keeping a consistent routine and making sure pets get the care and attention they need. I’m happy to work with each owner to follow their pet’s normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of cuddles. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I’m also happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can know how your pet is doing while you’re away!
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing and has a gorgeous home! She willingly accepted our two small dogs (27 pound terrier mix and 15 pound minpin) on sort of a last minute booking after 2 others canceled. She graciously let us introduce our dogs to herself and her husband. The dogs received so much love while we were gone for the long weekend that I wasn't sure they were going to want to come home! Stephanie asked lots of important questions and made me feel very safe leaving my dogs there. 10/10 would recommend and will be booking with her again.”
“Jonathan was very patient and flexible. He took great care of Cincy and Raleigh with pictured every day. We would definitely use Jonathan again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter!!!!? Holly took such good care of my Aussie for 10 days while I was out of town. She sent daily picture updates and kept great communication. We will definitely be back for more play dates! Thanks Holly☺️”

I would happily recommend Holly to care for your dog. She took great care of my "Tucker" and I appreciated the regular updates and pictures. I had to make a last minute schedule change due to an uncontrollable airline mishap and I greatly appreciated her flexibility.
Kamilah is an absolute saint! She just watched our very rambunctious 5-month old Chihuahua for two weeks. He's small, but quite the handful. She did a fantastic job and our puppy came back to us happy, healthy, and a little more leash trained than when we left him. I highly recommend her.
Reggie had a great time with Anastasia! She asked lots of questions to make sure that he was well taken care of. She also did a great job of keeping me updated. When I took him to her house the day after our meet and greet, he was actually excited when he realized where we were going. That’s incredibly rare. I will definitely use her again.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
