“I can’t recommend Summar enough! She took care of my cat while I was out of town, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Not only was she proactive about cleaning and keeping everything tidy, but she also paid close attention to his medication instructions, which was a huge relief. Knowing that she’s trained in pet CPR gave me extra peace of mind, and it’s clear she’s genuinely passionate about animal care. She even sent multiple photos and updates, so I never had to worry about how he was doing. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Nicole just doesn’t hug, snuggle and care for our furry ones, she watches the house and is attentive to all facets of our home and property. Izzy already misses her! BooBoo nonplused😀”
“We had the pleasure of having Renee take care of our dog, Rufus, while we were away in Europe for 12 days, and we couldn't be more thrilled with her care! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing she would take care of Rufus like he was her own. Throughout the 12 days, Renee kept us updated with photos and messages, so we always knew Rufus was happy and well-loved. She gave him plenty of cuddles and attention, which we could tell made him feel at home and content in our absence. Not only did Renee provide amazing care for Rufus, but she also went above and beyond in tidying up our house and even took care of our plants—something we truly appreciated! It’s the little things that make a big difference, and she certainly took care of everything with kindness and attention to detail. We highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog sitter. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our furry friend!”
“Tori is a great sitter for our senior pups. She takes great care of them, follows their complicated care instructions, and administers eye drops. She is a perfect houseguest, leaves the apartment in perfect condition, and even washes their meal bowls. If you’re considering her for dog walking or sitting, look no further!”
“Christina was amazing. She took great care of our pups and our house during our trip. The house was spotless when we returned and the dogs were happy. She sent pictures of the dogs frequently and communicated very well. We will definitely work with Christina again!”
“Mark was great with our dogs! Took them all around town, and spent some time to win over our nervous younger dog. He took fine pup pictures as well. He took good care of the house.”
“Julia did an absolutely wonderful job house/pet sitting my 2 dogs while i was overseas. She was very thorough asking questions about the dogs care, was punctual and responsible, and left the house spotless. Felt very comfortable leaving her with the dogs, and would 100% book again.”
“Elena was absolutely fantastic with Dudley. We had to be out of town for several days and Elena did everything we needed to keep him happy and taken care of. She took him for several walks each day to the point where he now thinks anytime somebody moves in the house, it's to take him for a walk :)”
“Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!”
“Mya house sat for us over the holidays and was the perfect caretaker of the house and the 2 dogs. She sent lots of photos, communicated promptly and left the house in great condition. Our mini-Dachshund is a bit of a handful, but she did great with her. And, our suspicious older Corgi even warmed up to her. Thank you, Mya!”
“Whitney watched our new puppy so we could finally have a day away! We felt so comfortable and confident after our meet and greet, and our pup Luna seems to have had the best time! And we got super cute photo updates!! Bonus! Highly recommend”
“She exceeded my expectations. She was very careful and affectionate with my cat, and throughout the time, I received videos and photos in which the kitty looked very comfortable and happy. It is clear that she loves animals and knows exactly how to take care of them and make them feel comfortable and safe. She is very organized and responsible. In my case, she took care of my pet for eight consecutive days, and when I arrived, everything was perfect. I highly recommend her 100%.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Zoe! Bailey - who is a great judge of character - like her so much he even slept in the bed with her! Without asking she brought in our recycling and trash bins in addition to bringing our packages indoors - truly going above and. Highly recommend her if you want a trustworthy, loving sitter!”
“Korrey was amazing! He was very attentive and understand with my concerns regarding general care, as well as my dog’s previous health issues. He kept me up to date with everything they were doing from her behavior, her day-to-day routine, etc.! He was extremely charismatic and went the extra mile for my girl. I will definitely be booking with him again when I need services!”
“Vanessa was great! She treated our babies as her own (or maybe like an aunt who spoils their nieces and nephews 😍). She loved our babies and took great care of them!”
About: I am currently a dog walker for a local service looking to add some doggos to my schedule! I have been around animals my entire life. My family had at least one dog and one cat at all times when I was growing up. I have experience with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I absolutely love animals!! I have a dog that is 6 years old, we got her at the start of COVID and she is my soulmate dog. I am currently between jobs and looking for some joy and a way to fill some time, what better way than to help care for your pet! I care deeply for animals, being with them brings me so much happiness. You can trust that I will do everything in my power to keep your pet safe, fed, and loved in your absence. I am currently between jobs so I have ample time to offer to any pet. Anytime, anywhere I can be there to help out with your pet! I don't offer boarding in my home because my dog is very reactive to other animals but I would be more than happy to come to your home and care for your pet there. I love running around the yard, playing with enrichment toys and going on walks.

Tutu requires medication at certain times during the day and Paige has no problem administering it. My youngest dog was abused in his previous home and is wary of strangers. Paige is very sensitive to his needs and he even gives her kisses now! I never have to worry when I leave my pets with her.”
Dover pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hani treats Pearl like a beloved family member, and we’re so grateful! He and his wife, Cat, are such caring people. I trust them with my baby girl 100%. Expect your dog to get lots of love if you have Hani dogsit for you. Pearl is always so happy to see Hani, Cat, and their whole family. Don’t hesitate to book with him!
Wow. I was in a bind and needed someone to house sit my senior dog last minute and Carolyn went above and beyond to make sure my dog was taken care of. She asked all the right questions and even sent cute pictures of my baby while I was away! She is beyond trustworthy and I feel so lucky that she was there to take care of my dog!
Karly did amazing with our 2 dogs for a 7 day house sitting. She took amazing photos everyday and gave us the peace of mind while we were away. As a fellow Rover Sitter myself I would highly recommend Karly and we will be using her again in the future.
Robert was absolutely amazing when he house sat our little pup. I was really nervous leaving her with someone new - but he did a great job keeping us up to date on how she was, all her walks, giving her all the love and attention, etc. I would hands down recommend him to anyone looking for a great sitter - extra bonus - our house was very well taken care of too!
Dana is a real gem! She is communicative, caring and punctual…everything you hope to experience with someone who is watching your pet or home. She even dealt with an unexpected lightning strike to a tree near my home with professionalism. I would not hesitate recommending her to anyone looking for a quality sitter.
Laura was amazing with our senior cat. Laura ensured that she was eating and drinking (including some creative methods to increase appetite!), gave her regular exercise, and provided constant updates with lots of photos and videos. The cat couldn't be happier. Laura treated our home with respect and is generally a kind and friendly person. Highly recommend!
