“Victoria watched our pups and house while we were away for the weekend. Lucy and Arlo loved her quickly at the meet and greet. Very easy to work with and she did a great job with them!! Definitely would book again.”
“I was pleased with how Clare took care of my “old man”, Shay. Also, it’s not easy to have someone come in to live in your house for a week, but I found it was easy to trust her. She is excellent!”
“I couldn’t have been more happier and pleased with Nicolette, she is super sweet and kind. I trusted her with my 4 week old kitten, who is bottle fed, and my three dogs. I hired her for the evening she was very responsive, and sent me pictures of my loved pets. I highly recommend her .”
“Hannah was amazing! She stayed with our pups the entire time and handled our teenage lab’s high energy like a pro. We came home to happy dogs and a spotless house. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were so well cared for. Highly recommend booking with Hannah!”
“Susan watched our two King Charles Cavaliers in our home for our daughter’s wedding weekend. Our normal sitters were not available and Needless to say, having a reliable nanny for our beloved dogs was a necessity. We interviewed a few sitters but knew right away that we had found the one with Susan. The dogs loved her, she was reliable, great communicator and all around nice person. She had no problem taking on our 10 year old dog’s complex medication regimen. She communicated daily with multiple pictures. She even handled speaking with the police when there was a string of car breaking on our street one night. Most importantly, upon our return it was clear our dogs were content and well cared for. Thank you!”
“Kaylee took such good care of our girl while we were out of town for a long weekend! She sent detailed updates and we could tell how much fun our pup was having. And the house is absolutely spotless upon our return. Truly couldn’t ask for more! Thank you so much, Kaylee!!”
“Ana took amazing care of our dogs while we were away on vacation. She was attentive to their needs, sent us updates with pictures each day, and took good care of our home as well. We will contact her for sitting needs again in the future for sure!”
“Ida is the best dog sitter we have found on rover, she is efficient, respectful and the best communicator!!! We will always use Ida if she will let us, ask this girl to babysit your pets!!! you will not be disappointed.”
“Nicholas was an incredible sitter for our elderly dog Stella. She requires a lot of extra gentle care, can’t see or hear well, & requires diaper chances multiple times a day. Nicholas handled everything with ease, sent us lots of updates and photos, & gave us incredible peace of mind on our trip!”
“Nicole took amazing care of our dog and cat! She’s very communicative, easy to work with, and had no problem giving our kitty her medication. Would highly recommend for any pet needs and will definitely book her in the future!”
“Philip is one of the best dog sitters EVER! He was so caring and attentive. Chewbacca, our oldest, is very anxious and hates our leaving; we came home to him being completely content, as if we never left. And Philip took on babysitting Mika, a five-month-old puppy with a TON of energy -no problem, they got along great. The house was well cared for, the communication excellent. I can't recommend him highly enough.”
About: I’ve cared for 7 dogs and 2 cats throughout their full life span, from puppyhood and kittenhood to senior years, including pets with special senior care needs. I’m confident handling large dogs and focus on structured walks, mental stimulation, and enriching playtime. As a psychotherapist, patience, intuition, and compassionate care come naturally to me. My schedule is very flexible I'm currently part time and work from home. I can be available on notice from 9am-10pm. I am able to do daily and weekly care/walking/play. I have a fenced yard. Two cats who are used to visitors and other animals. I can also crate animal if requested, use baby fence and adapt to living requirements specific to client needs.
About: I am very easy going I love cuddling walking and playing with the animals I am constantly petting and grooming and love giving them treats when deserved Its company, its takes away stress, fun, and loving. It's like having another family member in our household. The animal is like a human and is very enjoyable. I am a very honest, friendly, person. It takes a lot for me to get upset. I would take care of the animal like it was my own child.
“Renee was awesome. She took care of our 2 dogs at our home while we were away. Our doggies loved her! She’ll be our first one to contact whenever the same situation occurs again. A million thanks to her!”
“Diane is amazing! Our dog Juni is really tough. She's petrified of strangers and sometimes nips. She's very slow to warm up and sometimes won't even let sitters let her outside. There have been times when she boycotted eating for days, and even when we have family watch her, she's often sick for days after we get back because of stress. Diane worked with Juni and treated her with kindness, patience, and understanding. She gave her space and even did some emotion/body coding work with her which I thought was really cool. She treated our house with respect and we returned to it spotless. I felt very safe and comfortable having her stay in our home, and I think Juni did too. She was in great spirits when we got back and she even had a great few days of eating, no stress sickness. We so appreciate Diane's willingness to work with her! In addition, she was very communicative and thorough when it came to the details/logistics of the stay, and came by in advance to meet us and Juni. I would recommend Diane to anyone.”

Yssis took great care of our 2.5 y/o Border Collie mix in our home while we went away. I was nervous at first because we would be completely out of contact (camping with no cell signal) for 10 days and Pando has separation anxiety, but Yssis was patient and professional with him and quickly earned all of our trust. She's personable and knowledgeable and sent lots of updates. Will absolutely call on Yssis again!
We had recently moved from out of state when we first found Liz on Rover a little over a year ago. We had a couple of unsettling experiences with sitters we used on the app prior to moving here so we were a bit nervous but we knew we found a great person in Liz after meeting her and having our initial booking with her. We’ve since used Liz for drop ins, walks and overnights on multiple occasions and I feel so at ease leaving home when I know Liz will be there with our pup. Liz is an AWESOME communicator!! She sends so many photo updates throughout the day, gives me recaps of walks and how he did, which is so reassuring. She’s incredibly communicative about her schedule, and always goes the extra mile to make sure she can stay the full time with our pup. If she can’t - she’ll tell you so we can adjust time - which I appreciate because other sitters we have used just showed up late or didn't stay the full time. She really cares about integrity and being there with your pup the full time of what you’re paying for. Her honesty is refreshing! Most importantly, our dog LOVES Liz! He is soooo excited when she comes over - I’m pretty sure she’s just about his favorite person outside of my husband and I. When we left for our last trip, she happened to get there right before we left and he was so happy when she walked in the door, that he didn’t even realize (nor care) that we were leaving. He’s of course happy when we come home, but I find him going in the guest room wondering where she went after she leaves. I love knowing that our dog feels so comfortable with her which makes me much more at peace when we are away (I literally feel like I can actually enjoy a vacation and not have to think twice about checking in at home). Overall I would highly recommend booking with Liz! We’ve had a 10/10 experience and I trust her to keep our pup happy, loved, and safe 🙂
Meghan stayed with our two dogs and hamster in our home for a week and we would 100% work with her again. Meghan was communicative, responsive, and made sure to send us regular pics of our pets while we were gone. We also appreciated how well she handled our pup that’s afraid of thunderstorms as several rolled through while we were out of town.
