“Elliot was great, and we will definitely be repeat customers. She took exceptional care of our two, large and energetic dogs and two senior cats, provided lots of updates and pictures, and left the house clean and organized. It was such a relief for us to have Elliot provide such good care of our animals after having a pretty bad experience with a different Rover sitter in the past. Thank you, Elliot!!”
“Our 14YO female heeler bonded immediately with Aarti and she was probably sad when we returned. I like Aarti because she returns texts and requests in a very timely manner. We got photos from her every day which helped to ease any anxiety we had about using a new dog sitter. Her background as a vet assistant also eased our minds with our dog's history of Cushings disease. We travel a fair amount and are looking to have Aarti care for our girl in the future. Five stars for sure.”
“Skyler was a great pet sitter and house guest! She watched my two cats for a week. She shared a lot of updates and pictures the whole time. My cats were very happy and unbothered when I came home. I’ll definitely use Skyler again for future trips!”
“Our two MEDIUM-SIZED dogs are used to staying with family, so I was very nervous on how well they would do with someone new, especially in our home. Brigit was fabulous, earning their trust quickly and handling their energy with ease! She took excellent care of our fur-babies and our home. You won't be disappointed hiring Brigit, but leave room in the schedule for us!”
“Absolutely fabulous! Rachel stepped in last minute when another sitter fell through due to an emergency. We spoke on the phone and she asked great questions, then she arrived at our home to meet the pets when she said she would. From the moment Rachel was responsible for our pets, I felt confident knowing they were in good hands. We received daily updates and pictures. She played with each of them in their own ways. She even left our home spotless with towels and sheets cleaned (not expected AT all!!). Highly recommend Rachel for any pet sitting needs you may have!”
“Ethanee was so great with our anxious small dog Holly, who also just happened to injure herself right before our trip out of the country, so she needed medication and special treatment during our week away. Ethanee was communicative, sending us lots of updates, and left our house in great shape. Holly has a hard time with new people, but seemed to warm up to Ethanee right away! We felt so relieved that she was in good hands, and wouldn't hesitate to book Ethanee again!”
“Gabriel was great! He stayed in our house with our dog for a week and was responsible, tidy, communicative, flexible, and took wonderful care of our dog. Highly recommend and would have him again anytime.”
“Lilian is our go-to sitter. She goes above and beyond every single time; some of my favorite pics of the pets are from her updates during her stay. My animals love her, and they are all excited to see her when she gets to the house. I would recommend her 10/10 every time!”
“Geneva was super communicative, considerate, and attentive to the needs of my dog Zelee! I appreciated how much thought and care she put into her stay with Zelee. I would absolutely recommend her services and would trust her to watch Zelee again.”
“Gave my two cats lots of attention and great care. Regina sent lots of updates and pictures. I was not worried one bit about if my cats were being properly cared for while I was away.”
“Hossanna is awesome. She communicates often and responds quickly. She truly loves animals and I never worried for a moment while I was away. She is fantastic and I will work with her anytime.”
“Fantastic experience! Kymberly took great care of our mini-pack and left our space so clean and tidy. She was extremely responsive to questions throughout the day and we would highly recommend her without reservation!”
“We are so happy to have met Melanie! The pack loves her and appreciate her care and love. We can’t wait to see her again - when the humans go on their next adventure.”
“Caitlin was truly a lifesaver! Our flight home was cancelled and we had to change our plans. Caitlin was flexible and agreed to stay an extra day with our pets. She took great care of them and we couldn’t be more grateful!”
“Jessie took great care of our kitty and the house. She's super communicative and responsive. Our cat was one happy camper. I highly recommend Jessie, and I'm sure we'll be repeat customers.”

“Clarissa is a great dog sitter. We really appreciate the photos she sends, and overall she is a good communicator. We feel that our pet is safe and happy with Clarissa when we're away.”

I generally have a flexible schedule, so when there is a pet that requires my attention, I will gladly make time for all of their necessities. My standard is that all animals, whether in my home or yours, feel safe, comfortable, and stress free! When they are happy, I am too.

Elder Homestead pet parents share their Rover experiences
Aarti did an amazing job caring for our pups. This was our first time leaving them with a dog sitter and we were nervous about finding someone we could trust. She helped us to feel comfortable and not worry while we were away. We got regular updates and pictures and was very communicative. She left our house exactly like we left it and even cared for our bearded dragon as well. We would definitely recommend Aarti and will be using her again!
Caitlin is awesome she is on time and very responsive to communication. She did a excellent job taking care of our older dog and also taking care of the house. We had a change in plans and she was able to accommodate the change no problem. Will definitely be using her in the future. If you want your animals taken care well book her.
It's really an we exercise in trust to leave one's home and hound with others, and we very quickly realized that we had nothing to worry about with Andrea here, taking care of both our dog and home. Marti the dog was really well-cared for, and Andrea made sure she got her plethora of daily supplements, in addition to lots of love and play. Outstanding service and we are very grateful.
Amani was amazing with my 10 week old puppy and took excellent care of her in my home all day! She has a high degree of professionalism and is friendly, responsible, punctual, and responsive. I came home to a very happy pup. Looking forward to booking Amani again in the future!
Patrick has a way with animals that few people do. Our dogs were in excellent hands with him and he really went above and beyond with all their needs, spending time learning their habits and playing with them, and following our feeding instructions exactly. They took to him instantly, and it was clear they were very relaxed and happy around him. Our cats did not require any special care with their fully automated routine, but Patrick still did a great job looking after them as well. Testament to his ability with animals, two of our cats are very shy and seldom seen when company is over, yet they both started to feel comfortable enough around him that they presented themselves to him towards the end of his stay. We can highly recommend Patrick to anyone who is looking for a dependable, responsible, and attentive sitter for their animals.
Sarah treated our pups like her own. She was able to manage our dogs’ medicine and one of our dogs’ physical therapy exercises. We got regular updates to make us feel assured the dogs were doing well. We came back from a long trip to happy and healthy pups! I would love to have Sarah watch the dogs again for our next trip, and would certainly recommend her to others!
Kat was the best Housesitter! She took excellent care of my senior golden retriever Gus. She provided regular updates and photos which was very much appreciated. I came home to a happy boy and I knew Kat gave him lots of love and attention. I highly recommend Kat for your housesitting needs.
Jude was such a great find! He was very responsive and a clear communicator throughout the whole process (booking, during the stay etc). He kept me updated about how my pup was doing and was clearly tuned into keeping her engaged - taking her on many fun trips. The update pics were so nice and I felt so sure that Jude was committed to caring for my dog. I will definitely book again!
