“Brooke is always so helpful and sweet! I always feel comfortable and never worry about my pups when she comes and helps us out. She makes every minute count and is always so informative with her photos and rover card. We’re so happy and grateful the pups love her! It’s so nice having someone we can count on.”

“Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.”

“Emma was fantastic with our pets! She handled drop-in visits for our two dogs and one cat while my partner and I were out of town, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was always on time, super communicative, and clearly very caring with all three of them. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing our pets were in great hands. We’ll absolutely be booking Emma again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter!”

“Britany was wonderful. She was available very last minute and took good care of our 3 cats and was even willing to feed a community cat that shows up. We would hire her again if needed.”

“Bradley did a wonderful job taking care of my cat when I was gone; he took lots of great pics too! Communication was great! Will definitely have Bradley take care of my fur baby when I am traveling in the future too!”

“Shaelun was awesome with our kitties. They are less than friendly with new people and she handled thier anxiety so well. She also communicated very well and sent so many pictures. We also have a bunny that she loved on. Very much recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”

About: My family has had a variety of pets over the years especially when my daughter was younger: turtle, fish, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. I currently have one small dog of my own: a female maltipoo named Daisy. I've taken care of many of our friends pups of all sizes both in our house and theirs. I walk/run my dogs in our neighborhood. Would love to take care of your fur baby for you! Very reliable and trustworthy! I know being away can cause anxiety for your pets and I'll do my best to make them comfortable. Okay with giving medications if necessary. I'm here for you and your pets! I work remotely full time. I let them out as needed in my home or in yours. I get a normal routine of your dog’s schedule and keep it the same. I have done weekends in people’s home. Most services have been in mine. I have a big backyard so it’s easy to let them out.
“Valerie is absolutely wonderful and truly goes above and beyond! She not only took excellent care of Luna, but also did thoughtful extras like vacuuming the carpet — something she absolutely did not have to do and was so appreciated! Luna is extremely shy and usually hides, often making it difficult for anyone new to connect with her. Valerie was incredibly patient and gentle, giving Luna the time, attention, and calm presence she needed to feel comfortable. It honestly means so much to find someone who can build trust with her, and Valerie did exactly that. She is very responsive, reliable, and clearly genuinely cares about the pets she works with. I feel very confident recommending her and will absolutely use her again. We are so grateful to have found her!”

“Rachael was a breeze to coordinate with and clearly cared for my pups like they were her own. She kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

“Erin is a Punctual ,Comunicative person.She was carefully listening to what needs to be done. My dog enjoyed her time with her. When Erin left the house my dog was behind the door crying for a while. They had a good time. The picture she took from my dog isabsolute beauty whch shows she cares for what she is doung not just a simple picture and my furry baby has her besutiful smile showing that she has ultimate happiness. Thank you Erin.Cannot wait to have you again.”

“Abby is one of a kind! Our usual sitter was unavailable due to the holiday and we had to find someone last minute (I may have procrastinated a bit). Abby was more than willing to do so and was amazing at it! On time, great care of all pets and even filled out humidifier when it was running low! We will definitely recommend and be using Abby again!”

“Elisa did a wonderful job with our dogs!!! It was so nice knowing that they were being cared for so well. We had fun seeing all the great pictures and reports on everyone. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has pet care needs!!!”

“Not only is Dorothy an excellent dog sitter, but she is a true animal lover! This was confirmed at our meet and greet when she rescued a parakeet that had gotten itself lost and seemed to be begging her for help! It was amazing! Happily, the parakeet has found a wonderful, forever home with Dorothy! She is great!!!”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs and cats. I have plenty of experience with many breeds from puppies to senior dogs, and am experienced with fosters and diabetic dogs. I’m currently working part time, and my flexible schedule gives me plenty of time to play with your pup! My availability is open during the week and weekends. I have experience dog sitting in client’s homes, and I have plenty of space in my home for your pups if you would rather they stay with me.
“Mariah not only ease my concerns and stress; she was also so loving to my Queenie. This was Queenie and I first time and I highly recommend her. Queenie loved her and gained a new friend😊 will return in the future.”

About: Great working with high-energy puppos as well as well-versed in special care, attention and affection. Great at medication administration, assisting in mobility issues and extreme patience on walks. I work an 8-5 so I’m able to do early morning and evening walks and drop-ins and typically very open on weekends. I work a regular m-f/8-5 job and usually free on weekends the whole day. I can tend to your pet after work on the weekdays (gives me and your pet a little exercise 😉) I have a fenced in yard at my home and enjoy taking walks when I can. If a client doesn’t have a yard, I can take the pet for a quick once-around

Dayton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Gracie was the first Rover we ever hired. I felt so much more comfortable when I read that she is working as a vet tech and is obtaining education for that field as well. Part of me doesn’t want to leave a review because I want to be able to book with her as much as possible haha. But she is such a kind person who genuinely cares for animals and would be such a great addition to your pet’s team. 10/10 recommend!

Brooke is amazing! Accepted my last-minute booking and arranged a meet & greet beforehand. Delta loved her right away & Brooke was very patient with her high energy jumping and affection! I felt totally comfortable leaving Delta in her care for a midday potty break while I had a very long day at work. Loved getting photos during her visit. Will absolutely book again if the need arrises!

Berke was great with our pets. We had a last minute rover change and he was so quick and willing to help watch over our boys. There were plenty of updates in both messages and photos, lots of fast communication, and he took care of my dog that needed medication. I would highly recommend him and will be happy to have him as a sitter again.

Great experience and we truly appreciated Yolena taking care of our 3 cats on such short notice! She gave great updates with photos, which put our mind at ease while we were away. She was extremely kind and followed instructions on the care we needed for each cat, and was very responsive if we had any concerns. Came home to happy cats and the house just as we had left it! Would absolutely recommend this sitter!

Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.
