“Kyleigh was amazing. This is the first time that we used a dog sitter while going out of town. She kept in constant communication with lots of updates during each visit. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Ruth did an incredible job, she watched our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks and she gave us peace of mind the entire trip! She sent lots of pictures for each visit, and really spent her time hanging out with our cats☺️ She took care of everything we asked and was so communicative the entire time. Would highly recommend to watch your fur babies!”

“First time using Rover and met Nathan through the service to sit my 16 year old cat Tom. He was always punctual, followed instructions and most importantly Tom seemed to like him as he was able to also administer meds to him with no issues at all. I also had a last minute request if he could cater to an additional evening sit service as I was running late to be home in time for his feeding and medications and Nathan accepted with no issue. He even brought in some packages that was delivered while I was away — Thank You! Greatly appreciate having Nathan keep and eye on Tom and spend some time with him while I took a short trip and will definitely rebook for future occasions now that I know I can count on him for keeping an eye on Tom. ?”
“I don’t even know where to start. I had to go to the hospital unexpectedly and was panicking about my cats and my apartment. Illeana responded right away and stepped in when I really needed someone. She met me at the hospital to get my keys and took such good care of my babies, sending me pictures and updates that gave me so much peace of mind. But what she did beyond that completely shocked me. I came home to a clean apartment. She took out all my trash, cleaned my kitchen, washed dishes, bought bowls for my cats, left cleaning supplies and even flowers on the counter. She showed me so much kindness during one of the hardest weeks I’ve had. I have no family or friends in this country so she’s the only one I had during that time. She is compassionate, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond. I will never forget what she did for me and my cats. If you’re thinking about booking her, please do. She’s amazing.”

“Sami is absolutely the best. We’ve called in her several times and this time was last minute with several curveballs and she handled it no problem. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”

“Stephanie was absolutely fantastic! Her openness, communication and thoroughness was top notch. We’re thrilled to have met her and have her take care of our fur babies. We’re already planning our next watch with her! Thank you Stephanie!”


“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Jen is awesome!! First quality we admire is her impeccable punctuality. She was before the schedule times! Second, she is Sonic, Daisy & even our 17yr old Baby Keke approve. Third, Jen is not only fantastic with our kids but cut off lights, close & secured doors when she departed. We are going to rebook Jen for next month & other future times. We will recommend her to our friends and our vet. Thank you Jen. You rock?”

“We have nothing but great things to say about Catherine! She was awesome at communicating when she would be available to do drop-in visits for our dog and kept him entertained while we were gone! She took him to our apartment’s dog park so he could get out of the house and always made sure he had food available. We will definitely call Catherine again for our next trip!”

About: I live in a home with a fenced-in yard. I have 7 animals of my own (2 dogs, 4 cats, and a bearded dragon) and I live with 2 other furbaby spoilers (1 works at the humane society!). I also work from home, so I can be very flexible. I promise to send you silly/cute moments of their vacation 🥰 I work from home, so I am very flexible. I also have a fenced-in yard. I can follow just about any routine your pets are used to. I’m big on furbaby cuddles! While I’m watching them, they will get all the nose boops and scratches they want! If they’re on a potty schedule, I’ll set timers to make sure I don’t miss it. If not, I love figuring out what their cue is to go outside :)
About: At one point in time,my family and I had three dogs. We found one and made him a part of our family. One we got from the human society and the other was a puppy from a sibling. I thoroughly enjoy helping others and this is a great opportunity for all involved. My home is both warm and inviting. I’m at a point in my life that I need some excitement and dogs bring,not only fun but love and affection. I have an abundance of love that needs to be shared and I can provide dogs with that love. I also enjoy walking a dog or dogs. It’s great exercise plus it’s fun!I can't wait to get this ball rolling and see what comes of this opportunity. Thanks! I enjoy taking walks and can and will do it every morning and night. If I am with he/she on the weekends we will do adventures. I actually like to check in the dogs often even in a fenced yard to make sure he/she is safe and not into mischievous behavior.
“This was our first time using Rover and we will certainly be asking Christa to cat sit in the future. Our kitty is very attached to us so when Christa kept us informed with her visits, including pictures, we were so relieved. She was exceptional ! Thank you, Christa!”

East Arlington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Can’t imagine trusting anyone else to watch our dog for a short out of town weekend getaway. She was extremely responsive from the beginning with a meet & greet, check ins, photos/videos, and report cards. Our dog had so much fun with her and we felt more and more comfortable with each drop in she did. Would highly recommend her & will absolutely be booking again on our next trip!!

We will 100% be booking Amber in the future! She was extremely professional, left such detailed feedback, and was quick to respond to every message. She also had no issue administering oral or injectable medication. Thank you for taking such great care of our senior cats!💕

Wow Patti and William are incredible sitters because they truly care. They rescued my beloved Johnny from sitters that did not understand that some feline friends feel threatened by strangers and need time to adjust especially if a rescue with a tough past. Thanks for making my Johnny feel loved. I highly recommend!

We really enjoyed having her watch our two dogs and elderly cat while we went out of town for Christmas. I was so nervous leaving my sick cat but she took great care of her and sent lots of pictures. She went above and beyond with our dogs and took them out on walks! We were very grateful for her help and will definitely choose her again!!
