“I was so impressed with Heather. She did a great job with my two furbabies (two small dogs). I was so nervous to leave them, but she took excellent care of them. She was commmunicative and responsive the entire stay. My younger dog can struggle to warm up to new people, but she was incredible with him- he clearly liked her a lot. Heather was also flexible about changing the booking dates around so that I could spend more time with my dying parent. It meant the world to me to be able to spend an extra day at home. She also kept the apartment clean and tidy and even washed the sheets for me. I was so grateful and appreciative for Heather’s help with my dogs while I was away. Would definitely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”

I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone!”

About: I've loved animals all of my life and I have 2 cats but, I also know how to take care of dogs. Animals are a passion of mine. I do work but, I'll have time to be with your dogs.

East Rock pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jordan is fabulous. We had to book a house sitter at the last minute and Jordan responded quickly. We did a meet greet at our home with her and the dogs and we knew immediately Jordan was going to do awesome. She of took great care of our little guys and our house. Jordan is friendly, attentive to the dogs, and super easy to work with. She communicated throughout her stay giving us peace of mind knowing the dogs and our home were being well cared for. We will definitely use Jordan again !
Marie was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous to leave Brady, but Marie made it so easy! She updated us multiple times a day and was always communicative. She left our house spotless and maybe even a bit cleaner than we left it! We would recommend Marie to anyone!
Janalie is the best dog sitter around. She gave so much love and attention to our Labrador retriever and has amazing energy from the moment she met the dog. She kept us up to date and sent photos throughout her stay. Our doggo was in good spirits when we got home!
Noelle does a fantastic job caring for our two dogs and cat. She is very thorough and ensures that everyone has exactly what they need. One of our dogs has a lot of anxiety and Noelle is so patient with her and puts on her thunder shirt when needed. I really appreciate her communication and of course all the delightful pictures we get. Absolutely recommend her!
Patty really cares about caring for animals. She was easy to schedule on short notice, made sure we met ahead of time to ensure that there was a good fit between her and Zola, and was accommodating throughout the visit. I appreciated all the photos and updates. Feels less stressful traveling when you know your four legged friend is in good hands. Thanks, Patty! Would reccomend.
We love Pauline! Repeat customers here. Always so communicative, thorough and loving of our dog, cat and home. It's such a relief to be able to go on our human adventures and know that our fur babies are in the most capable hands with Pauline.
Teddy was absolutely amazing with our kitty! We had just moved to the area and had a graduation to attend over the weekend and were nervous about having to leave our cat after such a big move. Teddy was very kind and easy to communicate with and made sure that our cat was well cared for with play time, treats, and company while we were gone. They were also great at sending us picture updates during their stay. We would absolutely book again!
Maverick was happy and well cared for. Mai did an excellent job caretaking for him. Maverick doesn’t warm up to new well and he liked her at first meet.
Leonella was amazing and took the best care of our pets and home while we were away, she sent lots of pics which we appreciated and our pets were very happy and comfortable with her, she has a great way with animals. Highly recommend!
Melanie house and dog sat for our dog Luna for a few days while we traveled out of state. This was our first experience with Melanie other than a few daily walks and we were extremely happy with the care and communication. We received daily updates and pictures and Luna seemed happy and engaged every day with walks and playtime. Everything looked great upon our return. Melanie was responsive when I messaged her. We will definitely have Melanie watch Luna again and give her 5 stars! Thank you.
Mayella was punctual and took great care of my dog. She was creative in handling a dog who likes to get her own way.
Kristen is the best! She took amazing care of our dog and 2 cats (honestly even better than we do haha), and even vacuumed and cleaned the whole place before we got back. We arrived pretty late at night and she stayed up to keep our dog company. She goes above and beyond for your pets. Couldn't recommend enough.
Just absolutely amazing and incredibly kind and communicative and thoughtful. I could not be more grateful and in awe. Thank you thank you !!
Rachel took such good care of our little guys while we were gone. Our senior kitty needs several feedings of wet food through out the day and gets medication twice a day. Rachel was great about sending pictures and updates which helped me feel so relieved that things were fine at home. It felt great knowing our cats were both cared for and loved. Our house was also in perfect order. Thank you Rachel!
Meghan was prompt, communicative, and flexible with our anxious pup. She sent us updates throughout the day and our dog was so excited to see her!
We definitely will be hiring her again! She was great with our “furry kids”, the house was spotless. The trash was taken out, the dishwasher had been ran. We recommend her!
She was so attentive to Georgia’s needs and an amazing house guest. Would totally recommend to anyone looking for a sitter! And would definitely rebook.
Amber was a wonderful caregiver to our dog Tuna, and went above and beyond when it came to dealing with some medical issues which came up after the initial booking.
