“Michaela was a great sitter! She was very consistent with communication and made me feel comfortable my dog was being well cared for the whole time I was gone. Like others have mentioned, she was an extremely considerate house guest as well. This has by far been my best experience with a Rover sitter and I would absolutely book with her again!”

“Kara has stayed in our home and watched our senior dog 3 times, she is an excellent, responsible, respectful, communicative pet sitter with an easy going attitude! Flexible, friendly, reliable.”

“Grace was a great sitter! She kept our older dog on her normal schedule (something that’s important to me!), sent photos and updates, plus we came home to a clean house. It’s always a little nerve wracking leaving your pet, especially when you are out of the country for 2+ weeks but Grace made sure I felt comfortable before leaving and was easy to communicate with. I’ll absolutely have her come stay again if she’s available.”

“Andrew did a great job. He was extremely patient with some booking confusion I had, and he was very generous. I felt really comfortable knowing that we were leaving our dog in the hands of a vet tech, and everything in our house was perfectly in order when we returned. He took care of several simple tasks we did not even ask him to attend to (i.e. picking up poop). We will definitely contact Andrew again if the need arises!”
“Kimmie is wonderful. It was our first time using Rover and the first time we needed someone to watch our protective 8y/o dog. Kimmie was very respectful of our home and dogs boundaries and we couldn't be more grateful. She is flexible, respectful, professional and just awesome overall. I highly recommend Kimmie for your pet watching. We had her stay at our home with our pet and she exceeded expectations. On top of it, we had a canceled flight and she was flexible enough to stay another day. I cant wait to request her again in the near future”

“Susanna was amazing. One of our dogs had an emergency medical problem and she let us know, and then took him to the vet ER immediately. It was an unfortunate situation that happened to happen while she was in charge, and she handled it perfectly. Good to know the dogs are in responsible hands for when the worst happens.”

“Micheline, was fantastic. Very good with my dog. And very caring. Luna , my pup had an upset stomach and she helped nurture her to get better. Micheline was easy to coordinate with and just overall great care giver .”

“Cindy came a met Storm before her first sitting, was curious and asked lots of questions. Cindy took lots of photos for us which we loved. She followed our instructions and asked questions as needed. Storm was well adjusted when we came home and happy.”

“We (me and my rambunctious floof) love Amber! She's always great! She is very attentive and ensures she follows your instructions. Will definitely use Amber in the future!”

“Ariel did a great job! She sent us pictures. Text me constantly and let me know how they were doing. I felt very comfortable leaving her with my dogs in my house! I will definitely book with her again!”

“Taylor was AMAZING!!!! She kept me updated on my babies during my entire trip and made sure to send me all the pics. I was never worried them while I was out of town cuz I knew they were in great hands. I can’t wait to ask her to watch them again and I bet they can’t wait either! :)”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I’ve worked with playful puppies, energetic adults, and senior dogs who need extra attention. I’ve helped pets with basic training, administered medications, and tailored visits to meet each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is my love for spoiling pets safely — every walk, play session, and snuggle is focused on keeping your furry friend happy, calm, and cared for. I pay close attention to personality, energy levels, and routines so pets feel safe and loved even when their humans are away. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week, with flexibility to fit your pet’s needs. I plan my days so I can give each pet my full attention, whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or a cozy snuggle session. Weekends and evenings are also available, making it easy to fit around your schedule. I take pet safety and comfort very seriously. For drop-ins and in-home visits, I follow your instructions closely, make sure pets get their meals, potty breaks, and exercise, and provide plenty of love and attention. I keep their environment safe and secure, and monitor for any signs of stress or discomfort. For walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses, watch for hazards, and adjust pace and route to your dog’s energy level and needs. Whether at your home or out on a stroll, I aim to create a calm, happy, and trusting experience for your pet — so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Stephanie was so great with our dog and our house when she house sit for us for 10 days. She sent frequent updates and took our dog to the park or for walks, and when he didn’t feel like it she played with him in the yard! I would highly recommend Stephanie!!”

“Marcia stayed with our 2 dogs, 2 guinea pigs and parakeet. She took great care of all of them. Our pups are nervous and we could tell they felt safe and loved. There was an emergency with one dog and she handled it wonderfully. She was great at communicating and took great care of our home. Would highly recommend.”

“Madison is WONDERFUL. She creates a very positive first impression. We left for the weekend feeling 100% confident that our pups were in good hands. She is an excellent communicator and took great care of our three dogs. We returned to happy pups! She went above and beyond by cleaning up, too! We feel very fortunate that Madison is working with Rover. We'll contact her first for our next adventure. Thank you, Madison!”

About: I’m a former vet tech who grew up with dogs, and have experience with most breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I would love to help take care of your pup while you are away! I currently have a hybrid work schedule, so my hours are pretty flexible most days of the week. Mornings and evenings are preferable, but if you need middle of the day care, I can try to organize that. In your home, I’ll try to keep everything as calm and routine as possible for your pet, and give them all the attention and cuddles!
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Just finished my second booking with Kristin! Highly recommend! Besides her professionalism, level of care and attentiveness - huge bonus my dog loves to snuggle with her! Definitely the best dog sitter I've found. Thanks Kristin for letting bevo and me be a repeat customer!

Katlyn was great! We were nervous as this was our first time using Rover. She showed up on time to both the meet-and-greet and her overnight sit. Communication was easy - direct and responsive! Our house was just as we had left it. Will definitely be trying to book her again :)

Ozzie loved Danielle and we would welcome her back to our house at any time. Danielle was an expert with dogs and understood Ozzie's special needs because he was adopted after being attacked in a rescue home. Danielle was so attentive when we explained what he'd need, food wise, play time, extra cuddles, etc. She was terrific, THANK YOU DANIELLE
We had Kendall watch our three pups from Saturday-Thursday morning, and Kendall was amazing! This was the first time we used Rover, and it was the perfect experience with Kendall. She scheduled a meet and greet first where we could discuss the dogs, sitting expectations, and more. Kendall was immediately likable and had a plethora of experience with dogs, making us feel secure about leaving two of our dogs with medical needs. She sent daily updates and pictures, asked questions when some came up, and was all around the perfect experience with Kendall. I’ve already asked her if we could schedule her for future trips because she was such a wonderful dog sitter, and I felt safe leaving my fur babies with her!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brianna is an absolute gem — look no further! We had Brianna housesit and care for our dog Sally while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have been more impressed. She sent frequent updates and photos throughout our trip — Sally looked happy, comfortable, and completely at home. It was clear Brianna genuinely connected with her and treated her with real love and attention. Beyond caring for Sally, she was equally thoughtful about our home — everything was in perfect order when we returned. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, communicative, and truly passionate about the animals in her care, Brianna is your person. We will absolutely be booking her again!

First time leaving my dogs with someone who wasn’t family! Stephanie did amazing. It has been a couple months since she helped me with my puppy weekly and my dogs were excited to see her again. Did great with helping my senior dog take her daily medication. Will be booking with her again in the future.

Michael has stayed at our house and watched our two dogs for several extended trips. She is awesome with communication and takes great care of ours dogs and house. We never have to worry about what’s going on back at home when Miacel is on the job. We would for sure hire her again!
