“Wendy was phenomenal! We really appreciated that she reached out to ask questions & made sure she was doing everything she could for our cat, Macy. Our girl is in her golden years and finding someone who works in the vet industry provided us a lot of reassurance! 10/10 would recommend”
“Wonderful timely and dependable! We had a bad experience with a sitter previously but Megan restored our trust in using pet sitters! Brody was very happy to have her company. Thank you Megan for giving me peace of mind while I was on a work trip 🙏”
About: Clients often tell me their pets feel truly cared for by me, like an extension of themselves, because I offer the same love, attention, and intention they give their pets. I work and go to grad school remotely, so I have tons of time to attend to, play with, and love your sweet pets throughout the day. I organize my schedule around you and your pet's needs once you have booked a sitting with me. I live in a tiny house (on the larger side) on a large fenced piece of property. I can give your pup as much indoor/outdoor time as requested.
“This is my first time using Rover and we were looking for an overnight sitter for mainly my little Genee girl who has never not had family around her. Anika filled that gap for us and did an amazing job. She put up with all my messages and provided pictures of Genee on walks and playing. She even included pics of the cat lounging around as usual. I was worried about leaving Genee for the first time but Anika made it much easier for me! I would highly recommend her and I will be calling upon her again when we need a sitter!”
“Once again I needed a dog sitter for a few hours so of course I reached to Brooklyn. She is definitely who will be called to help with Wally when I need some time away. She's prompt, great communication with me and very attentive to my 7 month old T-Rex of a basset.”
“Molly is prompt, courteous, caring and professional. She cared for both dogs (25 pound Alaskan Klee Kai and 110 pound golden lab) taking into consideration their individual needs and personalities. We would request her again.”
About: Throughout my life I’ve had 2 dogs, 7 cats, and I currently live with 3 cats. I don’t have a preference between cats and dogs, I love them equally! I don’t work a regular job so my schedule is almost always open for pet sitting. I’m free to house sit, dog walk, whenever you need me. I keep my cats indoors, give fresh water every day in their cat fountain. I feed every morning and every night on a consistent schedule, a mix of kibble and wet food.
“Amir has watched my pack three times now, and he does daily drop-ins when I am at work. He is awesome! Super attentive and very communicative. He goes above and beyond consistently; Like helping me battle the Little Black Ants that had invaded my kitchen. Seriously, he's the best. And I trust him implicitly. So do my three beasts!”
“The best dog sitter we have ever had. Communication was outstanding, ours dogs and house were taken such good care of. Will 100% use Steven next time we need our dogs taken care of!”
“Momo is amazing! She took such great care of Anouk and Klaus— treating them to long walks and lots of attention. Staying on a routine is the best things for my pups, and Momo honored that and more! She’s also a great communicator which gave us extra peace of mind while we were both traveling. I HIGHLY recommend Momo!”
“Sparkle was just amazing. It was obvious that our two pups were taken well care of. She provided lovely updates and kept our home very very clean while we were away. If we weren't moving out of town I'd for sure hire her again. HIGHLY recommend her!”
“This is the 2nd time we have had Renee pet sit for us. We will definitely be booking her again in the future! She is great with our many pets, a good communicator, and leaves our home spotless.”
“Karen was an incredible dogsitter and we feel luck to have found her! She was communicative, great with our high-energy dog and took good care of our home. We look forward to Karen dogsitting in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Nicki is an exceptional dog sitter. Our dog was happy & sweeter than when we left him! ? Nicki left our home clean. She is an easy going person & very responsive. I highly recommend Nicki. She’s an”
“Aidan is amazing! Our 2 dogs and 1 cat had a blast (tons of pics). Not only did our pets take to him right away, but he was great about giving our older boy the meds he needs during the day! He kept our house incredibly clean and communicated with us the entire time. We hope he will help us out again in the future. Aiden, if you’re reading this, we want you to come back!”
“Debbie was great. She handled everything professionally, asked great questions, and even had some suggestions. Good communication leading up to and during our trip. We would use her again.”
“Erin was great. She was sending us daily updates about our dog. She stayed at our home with our dog and was very respectful of our property. Thank you Erin for everything.”
Dover pet parents share their Rover experiences
Elliette was a fantastic sitter for us! Our dog is typically nervous with new people, but from the day we met her our pup felt calm and at ease with her right away. Her communication is excellent and she is very professional. Everything was immaculate when we came home. We saw several cute pics of our pup while we were out of town, which made us smile. She even stayed until our delayed flight landed which was after the initial time we had scheduled with her. Looking forward to using her again! Thanks Elliette!
Wendy was dependable and communicative. We have a very outgoing and vocal cat, as well as a kitten that hides from people she doesn't know. Wendy patiently navigated the challenges that presented and made sure each cat was taken care of. We appreciated knowing the cats were safe and well cared for while we were on vacation.
