“Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾”
“Estela was very professional and friendly towards our dog. Somehow our dog instantly bonded with her and even though he has separation anxiety, with Estela he was quite comfortable and calm. I would like to request her service again.”
“Dogs love Jacob because he makes their time together magical! My dog would smell him from a block away before their walks and get so excited. I highly recommend Jacob and his outstanding way with dogs!”
“Monica was amazing from the beginning to the end! Super flexible and open to meeting when the schedule works best for both parties. She sent multiple photos and videos daily which was perfect when we were missing our bud. She even taught our old dog a new trick! Highly recommend her for anyone and would certainly reach out again to have her take care of our dog for us! Thank you!”
“I have asked Michelle to cat-sit my kitty twice now and she has been great! My cat has separation anxiety and not only is Michelle great at calming her down, she plays with her a lot. She does a great job of making sure the litter is scooped, water is filled, and food bowls full. She has also been very respectful of my home; she is very clean. I will be asking her to cat-sit my Nugget in the future.”
“Sam has sat for my dog Bandit before, and they always do a great job! Sam was also able to accommodate a last minute switch from drop in visits to house sitting, which I’m so thankful for. You definitely want them to care for your pets!”
“Gabriela was great with Bailey and kept the house so tidy while we were gone! We felt great relying on her to take care of our little boy. We got many updates and pictures while we were gone too!”
“We usually leave our dog and cat with friends or family but having just moved to the area we needed to find an alternative arrangement. We were a little apprehensive about using Rover for the first time but after meeting Tracey, her warm demeanor instantly put us (and the pets) at ease. During the stay, Tracey maintained consistent communication, providing regular updates and even sending cute pics and videos of the pets enjoying their time. It was so reassuring to know they were in such capable hands and it really helped us to relax and enjoy our time away not worrying about the fur kids! In addition to her exceptional care for the pets, Tracey also took great care of our home and left everything neat and tidy. Overall, we cannot recommend her highly enough and we are so lucky to have found such a reliable and qualified carer on Rover. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to look after our pets.”
“Danyel was an amazing sitter for our 5 month old kitten bmo! She stopped by multiple times to get to know him + his schedule and familiarize herself with the place before we went away. While we were away Danyel sent us daily feeding pictures and other pictures with a few updates on how he was doing. It really helped us feel that he was safe and loved while we were away. Bmo is obsessed with her and we can’t wait to book her again!”
“Elizabeth did a wonderful job caring for our little dog, Coco. She connected well with Coco during our meet and greet. Coco is a bit shy and she warmed to Elizabeth immediately. While we were away, Elizabeth sent us updates of how the two of them were doing. She also took excellent care of our home — leaving things nicer than she found them! I would highly recommend her as a dog and house sitter. We are looking forward to having her back!”
“Kaili was great! She watched our two large dogs for two nights at our home, and we couldn’t have been happier. Our dogs have a lot of energy and definitely come with their own quirks, but she handled them so well. She kept us updated throughout her stay, was very respectful of our home, and left everything clean and tidy. We would absolutely book with her again. 5/5 stars!”
“Haley was extremely responsible and responsive. We felt very comfortable with her ever since our first meeting. When we came home, everything was in its place and we could barely tell she was even here. Bella appeared well cared-for.”
“Zhi is phenomenal ! She took care of our two dogs for a week at our home. They enjoyed time with her spoiling them with treats and plenty of attention. Our older dog requires a little more care and Zhi did just that. She was so kind and caring to him, he truly loved her attention. Our younger dog has separation anxiety, Zhi was very attentive to him. He loved the walks she took him on. He loved her so much that when she left for a bit his howling made my neighbors worried lol. All in all, Zhi is an exemplar dog sitter. How she cared for our doggies and kept our home clean and tidy was well beyond expectation. Thank you Zhi ! Ollie misses you already.”
“Songjingyun is an amazing pet sitter! She has already watched my puppy for two days, and my puppy is only 9 weeks old, so finding someone I could truly trust was very important to me. She provided exceptional care and attention, and my puppy was genuinely excited to see her the second time — which says a lot. She handled puppy biting thoughtfully, helped reinforce new commands, and was incredibly patient. She also kept me updated throughout the day with messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She never minded the messes that come with caring for a young puppy, and at the end of each day she gave me a detailed update on everything — including activities, behavior, and even any small changes she noticed in my puppy’s health. As a first-time puppy parent, I was very nervous about using a dog sitter, but Songjingyun made this experience absolutely wonderful and stress-free. I would 100% trust her with my puppy again and highly recommend her to any pet parent looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive. Thank you so much, Songjingyun!”
“Awesome service we’re very happy with the way everything went. Tiana was very communicative and sent us pictures. She took the dogs out for walks and fed them on time and gave them their medication and of course gave them all the lovin they needed while we were away. We were very happy with her service.”
“Sabrina is absolutely wonderful. She is responsive, caring towards our personal space and most importantly, our dogs. Sabrina sent pictures each day and made sure the home was left exactly as she found it. I highly recommend Sabrina.”
About: I have over 2 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising a Samoyed for two years, helping a friend care for a Golden Retriever for about six months, and taking care of a Bichon Frise for one month. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, basic grooming, playtime, and keeping dogs on their normal routine. I’m patient, careful, and I always try to make pets feel safe and comfortable. My schedule is flexible, and I can usually make time for pet care during the day and evening. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting depending on the pet’s needs. I’m happy to follow the owner’s usual routine for feeding, walking, potty breaks, playtime, and updates. I always treat pets with patience and care, and I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and supervised. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking rules, medication if needed, and any special habits the pet has. I can provide photo or text updates so owners know their pet is doing well.

Jamie took great care of my dog and made me feel comfortable while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, kind, patient, and very sweet with him. My dog seemed happy and well cared for, and it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
We found a gem in Maria! She took special care of our dogs and our home while we were away for a family wedding. We felt comfortable and confident leaving our dogs. Maria was happy to meet with us several times before our scheduled trip; once in the park and twice in our home, which made us feel that much more confident. She sent pictures and anecdotes two or three times a day, which we just loved. We will definitely use Maria again and we recommend her to anyone who needs a terrific dog/house sitter!
Monica did a great job house sitting for us and taking care of our kitty Greyson who has stage 3 kidney disease. Due to his illness Greyson’s main diet is wet food and he needs to be fed several times a day with meds mixed in. This was not an issue for Monica. Under her care Greyson thrived. He looked healthy and happy. We so enjoyed the updates Monica sent to us every day. The photos and videos attached to the updates always made us smile, sometimes we laughed out loud by Greyson’s antics and expressions captured in them. She also cut Greyson’s nails for us, something we had trouble accomplishing on our own. Besides taking excellent care of Greyson, Monica kept the house in good order. She is a vey capable and compassionate pet sitter. We felt fortunate to have found her.
Danyel was terrific staying with my rescue Doodle whom I’d only had for 3 weeks so far. She spent the better part of two consecutive days with him, including exercising him in the backyard and feeding him dinner. She is a thoughtful, personable young woman who’s clearly experienced and expert in caring for pets.
Kaili was great! She watched our two large dogs for two nights at our home, and we couldn’t have been happier. Our dogs have a lot of energy and definitely come with their own quirks, but she handled them so well. She kept us updated throughout her stay, was very respectful of our home, and left everything clean and tidy. We would absolutely book with her again. 5/5 stars!
Malia is my house sitter for my cat Yoshi whenever I go on long trips. I always come home to a happy kitty and clean home. My sweet cat needs time to get used to new people, and Malia has been so patient with her. I highly recommend Malia for any cats that need a steady companion.
Sarah is a great dog & house sitter. She was very caring & attentive to my older rescue. She truly is concerned with the safety of the dog in her care. Sarah followed the instructions left for Sydney’s care. She was able to spend a lot of time with Sydney. I received regular photos & updates. Definitely came home to a happy dog & tidy house. Looking forward to book Sarah again. Thank you Great experience 🐶🤗
The hardest part of my rare vacation out of the country was the thought and planning that went in months in advance for the care of my senior, special-needs pup. I was about to give up right before I found Sabrina. She was a perfect match for him, and I had so much peace of mind that she was the guardian of my house while I was away. My dog is blind, and she was so patient as she learned how to take him for a walk. She sent adorable photos every day of their little excursions. She even confirmed that he got his "happy trot" going. He really must have trusted her. All the the plants are still thriving, too. I wish I could give even more stars for this review.
Allyson was fantastic with my GSD girly. Every picture sent of my dog I could tell she was content and not stressed at all that I was gone for days in a row. Allyson also went above and beyond to make sure my dog got plenty of time outside my complex, and was supportive of her needs. Thanks!
Sara was wonderful! Great communication, lots of pictures. Our cats were totally comfortable with her (and they are NOT that way with everyone!). And she was able to trim their nails...even the cat who is more cautious/nervous. We haven't been able to do even one of his nails since we brought him home!
