“Mara was a great communicator and took great care of our pup while we were gone. She left our house neater than when she got here, even vacuumed and washed the sheets. Above and beyond!”

“Joanna was amazing!! She was so great with our little zoo (literally 4 dogs, 1 pig, 2 cats, and 1 tortoise)! She gave us lots of updates while we were away and we felt very comfortable having Joanna watch our home and all of our animal babies. We cannot recommend Joanna enough!! We will be booking with her next time we go out of town if she is available!”

“We booked Suzanne last minute to care for our two dogs in our home. Suzanne went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well cared for. She kept us very informed as we had asked for, and we felt confident they were in great hands. We will absolutely use Suzanne when we need care again!”

“Alison was a very attentive and communicative sitter when watching my dog George. He was sick at the time and she very appropriately reached out as needed with questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!”

“Brittany did awesome with my foster pup! She went above and beyond for him. My pup is scared of new people and she came over beforehand to make him feel more comfortable. 10/10 would recommend Brittany for any dog sitting needs.”

“Breanden was very good to my Mila! I opted to have him play tug and give her enrichment toys instead of going on walks as my pittie mix has a high prey drive and can be a bit to handle on walks for the average person. He made sure she had play time to help keep her content and I felt safe with him in my home! Will use again :)”

“We are new to town and particular about who cares for our fur babies. Elizabeth exceeded our expectations. She followed all our instructions carefully. She sent pictures daily and I could tell animals were happy. She stayed in home, walked dogs and provided lots of snuggles. We will definitely use her again.”

“Nick did an excellent job as always! We can tell our dog was happy to have him watch, and we know Nick went beyond our asks to keep our dog happy and entertained while we were away. We will absolutely book again!”

“Scott was friendly, easy to work with and very flexible. He went above and beyond for our dog because he said he didn't want to leave our dog alone - that's great. He also waited late past the discussed time as well just for the dog. He provided updates as needed and was quick to communicate. He accommodates our requests with our dog and was eager to do more even. Id easily have him help with our dog again.”

“Mia did a great job taking care of my dog Dakota. I felt at ease while traveling knowing Dakota was in such good hands! Highly recommend Mia to take care of your pets!”


“Jessica was quick to respond to our initial request and accommodated our narrow window schedule for a meet and greet. She was great with Gretel and took phenomenal care of our house. Jessica regularly communicated with us via text/photos per our request. We would unequivocally utilize her services in the future.”
“Kelle took great care of our dog Luca for the weekend! She was patient and let Luca warm up to her on his own terms and kept us updated with messages and pictures. We would definitely have her watch Luca again!”

“Rebooked with Matt for a longer stay! He is so good with our pups and cats, and sends photos and videos often to keep us updated. We missed our fur babies but knew they were safe and happy in Matt’s capable hands!”

About: Dogs and cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve often been the first person friends and family call when they need a reliable dog/cat sitter. I’ve cared for everything from curious, high-energy puppies & kittens to calm, affectionate senior dogs & cats, and I understand the unique personalities each one can have. My goal is always to make your pets feel secure, comfortable, and cared for—just like they would at home with you. I’m a nurse who works about three 12-hour shifts a week, which means I have plenty of free days to give your pets the care and attention they deserve! I live in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood with walking paths just steps away, making it the perfect setting for fun and comfortable walks. Your pets will have plenty of opportunities to explore, get fresh air, and enjoy their time outdoors.
“Madeline was an amazing house/pet sitter for our pets! We appreciated her quick responses and communication. Madeline was at the house with the pets the majority of the time. All three pets were happy and tired when we got home. :) We will definitely reach out to Madeline for future Rover housesitting and other services!”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs my whole life! I’ve provided end of life care to many pups, trained puppies, and administered at home medical care for all sorts of cases. I dedicate my time to understanding dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am not afraid of shedding and don’t mind walks or cleanup. I work part time and have plenty of time to dedicate to your fur babies! I don’t mind stopping in multiple times a day, or being full time for a few. I follow any regular schedules your pets may have including feeding, walking, playing, cleaning, or administering medications. I am able to spend as much time with your pet as need be and I send picture and video updates or your babies!
“So glad we found Brittney! We have 2 rescues, one of which is super shy, timid, and wary of strangers. She warmed up to Brittney almost immediately! She kept us updated the whole time we were away with awesome photos of the dogs and how happy they were. When our flight home was unexpectedly delayed a day, she graciously offered to stay the extra day to look after our pups. We will definitely be using her again and will refer her to others needing dog sitting services. Thank you Brittney!!”

Douglas pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alison was an amazing house sitter. She was very attentive to our rabbits’ needs and went above our expectations for her. She quickly responds to our messages and asked questions that helped her provide better care to our pets. She also took great care of our place, taking the trash out and washing the dishes.
