“This was our first experience with Rover and with Halle. The ease of booking and communication was very good. While we were away, she communicated with us about how our babies were doing. When we returned home, they both seemed very happy. With no issues. Our house was clean and tidy. We will definitely be rebooking with Halle in the future. I highly recommend her and Rover.”


“Kayla was fantastic! She stayed over night, watched our 2 English bulldogs, gave them their daily medicine, and also watched my brother's dog! She was also thoughtful enough to send photo and video updates throughout her stay 🥰 Definitely recommend her for house sitting/dog walking needs! 💜🐶”


“Ava LOVED Mikalah! I also enjoyed having her dog sit Ava. She is very flexible with her time! I have a crazy, unpredictable schedule and she is always flexible to adjust on day to day basis. I definitely recommend her for any service Rover has to offer. She sent me updates and pictures of Ava throughout the day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”


“I felt very comfortable leaving my fur babies to Suzanne!!!! She was fantastic and went over and above the call of duty during the stay!!! I recommend Sue and will request her again!!!”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for my own dog, cat, and bearded dragon. I also spent a year working at a kennel, where I gained hands-on experience with pups and kitties of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or just a little extra TLC, I’m here to treat your pet like family. When I’m not caring for animals, I love playing video games, writing, and spending time with my husband. I’d love to meet your furry (or scaly!) friend! I’m currently a full-time homemaker, which means I have plenty of time to take care of your sweet pets! It’s always been my dream to open up an animal rescue, so this is just another great step in that direction! I understand the anxiety of leaving your pets when going on vacation or a needed trip somewhere, but I can promise you’ll be leaving them in good hands, and that you’ll receive frequent pictures, updates, and anything else to ease your mind!

“Yessi was able to accommodate my extreme last minute request. She took great care of my dogs. Kept them on a schedule and she updated me often with pictures, and my dogs always looked so happy. I hope when another work trip arrises, she can accommodate. She provided great love & care to my babies.”


About: I have been pet sitting since I was 13. From taking care of neighbors dogs and cats to raising my own cows and pigs, I have experience with every animal under the sun. I now work in the veterinary industry so I can identify any problematic symptoms while your pet is in my care. I will strive to make your baby happy and comfortable as long as I am responsible for them! I only work part time, so I have flexibility in my schedule. I am available all day on Sunday and after 2 on Saturdays. After 3 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and after 5 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am comfortable accommodating your pet in any way they need, from going on walks in the neighborhood to administering medicines daily. Let me know what your baby needs, and I will get it done!

“Aleisa was very friendly and professional. She sent pictures and always kept me updated. She was also flexible and watched Luna fro an extra day because my flight got cancelled. I would highly recommend her!!”


“My wife and I have never used a service like this. My wife never trusts anyone with our animals. Kim’s texts alone put my wife at ease. We usually take our animals with us or have to rely on family hours away. Kim went above and beyond with a plethora of photos, texts, and updates constantly sent to my wife and I. This allowed my wife to relax for the first time while being states away. Kim felt like family within minutes of meeting her and had all the questions covered in the pre-visit. All the animals loved her and were perfectly cared for. I would highly recommend Kim with anyone’s animals. She was perfection and we will absolutely book her again.”


About: I have taken care of pets more than half my life. I am willing to take care of them however you need. They will get the care as if they were my own. I truly love animals! I am off for the summer and I am very flexible. I am available whenever is needed. I prefer to watch your pet at your house but I am also flexible with that. The dog will be able to be out all the time. We are at home all the time. Your dog will be treated very well in our home!

About: I have had dogs of all sizes my entire life. Most recently I have raised an Australian shepherd, Bernese Mountain Dog and golden retriever. I have dog-sat since I was a teenager for friends and family. I am currently in medical school and although I cannot currently have a dog of my own here, I go home frequently to love on my parents dogs and would love to love on yours! I am free most days with the exception of a few hours when I am unable to be there due to class or clinic responsibilities. I am currently unable to take dogs in my home due to my currently lease but I have years of experience with dogs and am excited to care for yours!

“Alexander was a truly wonderful housesitter and a rare gem to find. He followed all instructions perfectly, stayed longer than requested to ensure Echo wasn’t left alone too long, kept the house spotless, and was flexible with a last-minute schedule change. I couldn’t have asked for better—I would highly recommend him. Thank you, Alexander!”


About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs; I don’t have a preference between the two. I have two cats of my own from the same litter. Im willing to stay overnight with your fur babies or make multiple visits in a day for care and play with them. I work a regular 9-5 working in ABA therapy, so I can make morning and evening visits for up to an hour at a time. I like to give my cats two meals a day with a mixture of wet food and dry food. They like lots of cuddles, which is perfect cause so do I. I mostly pet sit for my parents when they go out of town, and I like to take their lab for walks and pets.

“Ashley is a very sweet gal who appears to love animals. I was disappointed that over our four day absence I only received one photo, and no additional texts/emails. I haven't heard from her about how it went with the dogs either. She was pretty awesome in the house, no messes, not even extra garbage! Bed made and bathroom is really great. The dogs were all super excited when we arrived home, they seemed happy and I don't know if it was just because they missed us so much or if they lacked human interaction for 4 days. Again, I only have one picture for one morning. I was really hopeful for this service, but honestly, I could have had a neighbor attend to my dogs while we were gone, for less $$ and a lot more attention (i suspect) I'm on the fence, because of course my doggies are ok, and super happy that I'm home, but I was hoping for them to have a little more attention during our absence, by evidence of photos. Again, our house was perfect when we came home (there is a pee spot in our living room, on the hardwood, hard to see) So it's hard for me to rate this dog sitter. I gave her a four, but honestly, if I hired her again I would demand multiple photos per day and interaction with me via text, as to how the encounter is going. Again, this gal was super sweet, left my house completely in order, my dogs are happy and healthy. I probably did not communicate to her that I needed that kind of interaction, but I thought (assumed) that it was part of the transaction.”


“Kimberly was a life saver. Our regular sitter was unavailable which left us scrambling to find another sitter last minute. Kimberly was able to meet with very little notice and the dogs loved her immediately. She took great care of our Great Danes and did everything we asked. I would recommend.”


About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a teen. In my opinion they are all the "goodest" boys and girls and deserve the best life possible. I know how difficult it can be to trust a beloved pet with a stranger but you can rest assured that your baby is in the best hands! I have a pretty open schedule and would love nothing more than to devote some of my free time to your pets! Rest assured that your pet will be provided with undivided attention and receive the best of care. I care for your pet to the full extent of your instructions. Have a list that's longer than most books? That's fine, mine is probably longer when I have to leave my babies in someone else's care. Carefree and no list at all? That works too, I can go with the flow. Whatever instructions you give, no matter how silly you might think they are, I will follow to keep your pet in the routine they already know.
