“Ariana is lovely. She initiated a meet and greet and took charge of ensuring Simba was comfortable with her. She is very accommodating and flexible to respect one’s schedule. Simba felt at home with her.”
“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.”
“Joanna was amazing. My pups loved her and she went above and beyond to care for them. I felt rest assured they were in good hands while I was out of town. I highly recommend her and I will be having her come again in the future.”
About: I've spent my whole life with animals, from dogs and cats, to reptiles and rodents. I love them all. I've cared for a number of friends and families fur babies over the years. I am a reliable caregiver who treats every pet like my own. Whether your pup loves long adventures or slow sniff-filled strolls, I make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I've cared for senior dogs and have experience with basic medication administration. I work in a school, so I have my summer wide open to care for your pets while you're away! I can be extremely flexible as long as I have advanced notice of your needs! When with your pets, I will treat them as my own and make sure all of their needs are met. I will make sure to respect your home and leave it in the same or better condition as when you left!
“Ida has been my pet sitter on three separate occasions. She sends pictures and comments daily. I come home to well taken care of and content kitties. I would happily hire her again.”
“Great pet sitter!! Sent daily updates with pics, awesome communication and my pets were quick to adapt to Gabrielle. We will be sure to keep requesting her services. She even watered our plants while we were away.”
“Yesica was amazing! It was our first time using rover and she made sure that we were comfortable with everything! She sent lots of pictures, videos and text updates!! She would even give special attention to my dog while she ate because she usually doesn’t eat as much when we are out of town! I would definitely book again!”
“Kaylee is a cat whisperer! My cat is afraid of everyone but me (and now Kaylee!) She took to her immediately, following her around, asking for pats, and even slept with her! Kaylee did just as good of a job with my 12 yo Aussie, taking him for walks several times a day and showing him great care. I would highly recommend Kaylee and have already asked for her to come back to sit my pets again!”
“Ashley house sat for us for 5 days. She's easy to work with, communicates clearly and frequently, and took great care of both the pets and the house. Most importantly, my dog and cat both love her!”
“Charlotte was fantastic. We had a few hiccups and she was beyond helpful. She was very communicative and sent daily updates with pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone for pet sitting and will definitely use her again!”
“Emma was amazing with our somewhat needy toy poodle! Our puppy was depressed that we left and would not eat or sleep well the first couple days, but Emma went way out of her way to encourage her until she was more comfortable…and within a few days, our puppy did much better! Communication from Emma was frequent and clear and she did a great job problem-solving with us at a distance! Would use her again in a heartbeat!”
“This is the second time Sarah has pet sat for us, and both times she took great care of our dog and our cat, and left our house immaculate. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I've been around pets my entire life and know firsthand what it takes to truly care for them. For the past 7 years, I've been fully responsible for my own dog, handling everything from daily walks and feeding to playtime and training. I know how to read a dog's needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. As a college student home for the summer, I'm available and flexible throughout the day, your pet won't be left waiting! As a college student home for the summer, I have a lot of free time and flexibility throughout the day to dedicate to your pet. Whether it's a morning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or an overnight stay, I can work around your schedule to make sure your pet is always taken care of. Your pet won't be left waiting, I'm around and happy to give them the time and attention they deserve! My own pets are well cared for both indoors and outdoors, so I'm very experienced with keeping animals happy, safe, and active in all settings. For drop-ins and overnight stays at your home, I make sure to follow your routines and rules exactly as you have them, your pet stays in the environment they already know and love, which keeps them calm and stress-free. I'm confident and comfortable handling pets of all sizes and energy levels, so no matter your dog's breed or personality, they'll be in capable hands!
“Loved the duo teamwork. Took good care of my pooches and my home. My dogs immediately took to them upon meeting them. Also, I think they left my home cleaner when they left! Bonus! Would definitely use their services again. 🌼🐩”
“Karina stayed at our house for two weeks, watching our dogs and cats while we were away on vacation. During our entire time away she was very communicative and shared plenty of photos! She made sure we knew our animals were well taken care of the entire time sharing details of walks and feedings. When we came back all the animals were happy and the house was spotless and in an even better condition than when we had left it. If you are looking for somebody to take care of your animals, Karina is an excellent choice.”
“Beatriz was communicative, and thoughtful about the care she delivered to our pups. We were able to count on her to take great care of our home and our fur babies while we were away and it gave us peace of mind. Wonderful experience for all involved!”

Susan was absolutely amazing with my pups. She stayed overnight 4 nights at my house. She even let them sleep in my bed with her as that is what they are used to do. Sent pictures and communications. My house was left in perfect order and my pups were relaxed and happy when I returned. I would definitely recommend Susan and will use her again when the occasion allows. I am a very happy camper 😊😊
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.
