“First time using Ellen and she was awesome watching my fur babies. I will definitely book her again soon. She sent me pictures and updates during her stay at my home.”
“Maggie and Willow are wonderful. Maggie stayed at my house for almost two weeks on a last minute booking. She sent updates daily and gave me peace of mind while I was gone. Would definitely book with her again!”
“This was my first time leaving my two dogs with someone other than family. Kailyn did an amazing job with my two dogs who have a lot of behavioral issues that require special considerations (feeding and walking separately, medications, etc). She sent me pics and videos of the dogs too. Highly recommend!”
“Janel did an excellent job caring for my fur family. My dog is usually very anxious, but she made him feel comfortable and at ease. She even bonded with my very nervous cat, which was impressive. All of my other cats were well cared for as well. I highly recommend her for pet sitting!”
“Thank you for taking care of my Frenchie, Lucy! You made it possible for me to travel for two weeks for work at the last minute. The pics and videos you sent helped. Realtime calls would have been better. There are many ways to do that even if the Rover app doesn’t support that functionality. Thanks again!”
“Anabelle is excellent at communicating with people and pets! Before staying at our house, she visited two times to get to know the dogs and our wishes, which is going beyond the standard. She stayed for 7 nights with our dogs and kept them happy and comfortable. Her positive energy and experience with pets helped us feel good rather than guilty when leaving them for a full week. Her videos of them were reassuring and her departure note was well written and detailed. She is very responsive when we texted her so that helped tremendously when we were so far away. We will call Anabelle again when we leave town and I know the pups look forward to seeing her again too! Thank you for such excellent service!”
“Brittany was well loved by our pups and Brittany loved our pups while we were gone. We were especially grateful when our dogs injury re-emerged while we were gone she picked up medicine and administered it until we returned home.”
“Kyra was awesome with Brodie. She followed the instructions I left to a tee. I highly recommend her. Can't wait to have your sit with Brodie again.”
“Ariel did an awesome job caring for our dogs while we attended a wedding. We drove from Wisconsin and she did a meet and greet on Friday which was wonderful as one of our dogs can be a bit anxious around strangers. She was very patient and got him to warm up to her!! She was great at sending me pictures and updates so I knew the dogs were OK. I would highly recommend Ariel!!”
“Carrie took amazing care of our tiny pack. She sent the greatest pictures. We will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“We love Selena! She’s always on time and takes great care of our Golden Retrievers. Our doorbell camera showed that she looks around to make sure no one is watching when and where she puts our key. She’s very respectful and thoughtful of our home and takes great care of our dogs!”
“Ciara has done a fantastic job on an extended home sitting for our two dogs and cat. She took good care of our home, as well as doing some training with our pup while she was here. She has good attention to detail and is an excellent communicator. I would highly recommend her services!”
“Our babies had a great time and were very well treated! We absolutely recommend Swathi and her husband ☺️ we have had a few not so great experiences with dog sitters lately? And they renewed our faith in Rover! We will use them from here on out. They sent videos and pictures and kept us updated and they respected our home also… which has not happened with several other sitters from Rover… we HIGHLY recommend them!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. Growing up with had a Maine coon cat and two dogs who we rescued from Delaware County Humane Society. I currently own a 6 year old German Shepherd. She is very well trained on walks and with other dogs. She currently has health issues so I understand how important it is to find a dog sitter who loves and knows how to deal with challenging situations. I currently work full time as a teacher so I prefer evenings and weekends right now. During the summer time, I am available afternoons to evenings. I will follow my clients home instructions that are provided. If a yard does not have a fence, I will take dogs out on a leash.
“Sydnee is great! She’s watched my dog a couple of times now, and I love knowing he’s in good hands. She’s great with remembering food and meds instructions, and she communicates regularly and gives fun updates.”
“Suvi was great to work with . She took great care of my dog and cats ! She followed every instruction I left for their care. She left the house in perfect condition. I would highly recommend Suvi !”
About: I’ve been working with animals for 13 years! I currently work at an emergency veterinarian hospital. I have experience all over the animal world including shelter and emergency. My speciality is going to be focused in behavior once I finish school. I LOVE taking pictures dogs (as you can see in my photos). I have no doubt that I will be your pets new best friend! Just looking to spend my spare time from school and work to hangout with your pets when you need! I work 3 days a week and go to school the rest of the week, so I have lots of spare time! The same way I do for my dog, I like to take multiple walks per day, play in a fenced in yard (if weather permits)! I enjoy lots of time outside so going for long walks and being active outside with your pup is very important!
“Bella is amazing!! She went above and beyond anything I could have hoped for from beginning to end. She obviously has a special place in her heart for animals and they can immediately tell that about her. Her patience and attention to detail was so helpful with our senior dog and we were able to get away stress free for the first time in years! I’m already planning to book her for our next trip.”
“McKenna took care of my dog Gravy really well while I was gone for the business trip. She came on time to my place for the early morning before I left to go to the airport. She sent me the many pictures of Gravy with all of the updates so I felt relieved to know that he’s in the good hands! He usually gets anxious and used to have a separation anxiety but he did great with McKenna’s care! She really took care of him like her own dog 😊 My place was left clean after she left! I will definitely request for her for Gravy’s care in the future as well! Thank you so much 🙏”
About: Our senior rescues passed on last year; I want to care for others animals as I did for them. If you are going on vacation, out of town, or having a long day at work, I can check in with them. My work is sporadic, but I am taking time off and re-connecting with furry friends. I can spend several hours a day with your pets as needed My house does have a fenced back yard. We love very close to the bike path which is ideal for walks. If they have specific diet concerns that is good to know as well.

“Megan Piper is a must have pet sitter. Her love of animals is immediately apparent and her calm demeanor puts both of our cats at ease.
