“Cristy was wonderful! She took Zoey on long walks, played with her and loved her. Cristy checked in daily and sent lots of photos. Our house was neat and clean when we got home! We will certainly ask Cristy to come sit for Zoey in the future.”


“Molly was great with our two dogs Doc and Harper! Honestly, I don’t have anything bad to say. I chose her based off a recommendation from my parents who she has done some house sitting with. Our dogs seemed to really enjoy her company and our house was left in wonderful condition. Molly went above and beyond taking care of things at the house while my wife and I enjoyed our vacation! Our mail, packages, bed sheets, and even the dog poop was taken care of! Thanks Molly you rock!”

“Elizabeth arrived right on time for my pretty early departure and I could tell all of my pets where well cared for, and their schedules followed- even if my cat tried to convince me to feed him again lol. I would probably user her again.”

“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”

“Lorna looked after my 2 boys while I was away for the weekend. She sent updates along with photos and videos to calm my nerves as this was the first time I’ve left them with anyone outside of family. Not only were my boys extremely well taken care of, but so was my home❤️ I most definitely will be using Lorna again in the future!!”

About: I have cared for a wide array of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, insects and amphibians! I have owned many pets over my lifetime, and feel confident in caring for elderly animals and administering medication. I have volunteered at my local vet clinic on multiple occasions, so handling animals prone to stress is also something that I am familiar with Currently I attend community college part time on Mondays, Wednesdays and the weekend. Every other day I will be completely free, and will make it my priority to give your pets all of the time and attention that they deserve! One of my greatest goals, second only to the welfare of your animals, is to ensure that client privacy and boundaries are respected at all times. I will ensure to follow instructions given about the home to the letter.
“Jane was in charge of our two cats and one dog for almost two weeks. She made sure she had all the details before she started and gave us regular updates while she stayed. We came back to a tidy home and three content animals. She was responsible and reliable from beginning to end and we absolutely would use her services again. Her rates are more than fair for the peace of mind she provides.”

“Great communication. Thank you for putting my girl number one and the pics and communication while I was gone. I felt like my dog was in the best hands and I was able to relax knowing my dog was cared for.”

About: I have always had dogs in my house since I was small and in the past five years we have gotten cats. We have also had some exotic animals including: chinchilla , hamsters, guinea pigs, a bearded dragon, and birds. I work as a transcriber so I am always home. My dogs need medication so I make sure they eat it after their food. As I have cats as well I do a daily scoop to make sure that there is no waste in there. I make sure to always read every part of instructions for the care of the fur baby that I am taking care of as well as cleaning up after the mess that may happen while I am there.
About: I have worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I’ve experienced walking the shyest dogs to the most extreme dogs. My main focus is to understand each dog and help them become comfortable. I’d love to meet more dogs! I’m still in school which means I can start walking or pet-sitting after 4pm on weekdays. My weekends are completely open most of the time and will let you know ahead of time if there’s a conflict in my schedule! I can easily crate a dog and learn your preferences on training. I love playtime and will play as long as your dog wants. On the other side of that if the dog just wants to snuggle I’d also be happy to sit and snuggle too! If you do not want the dog to go on a walk, I will keep the dog on your property (in house/backyard) unless specifically told not to go somewhere in the house.
“Erin was AMAZING! We are so thankful to of found and worked with her. She took such good care of our pups. One senior and one adult dog plus a cat. She made them feel at peace while we were away and couldn't of asked for a better outcome. Will work with her again.”

“Rachel is amazing! Her calm nature and constant communication was our saving grace and hers, since our youngest dog had separation anxiety at first. I appreciate everything she did to help the dogs relax a trust her abilities.”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, starting with cats as a kid and later helping with my mother-in-law’s Jack Russell terrier and Siberian husky, as well as my own 100 lb English Lab. During my five years as a rural letter carrier, I earned the nickname "the dog whisperer" for my ability to befriend even wary farm dogs on my routes. Since then, I’ve looked after a mix of local pets, including a reactive Lab-Shepherd and a few energetic pit bull mixes. I’m patient, calm, and consistent, and pets trust me quickly. Pet care fits perfectly into my flexible schedule while I pursue my Master's in Behavioral Health. I value structure and routine, which makes it easy for me to keep pets on their normal schedule. Spending time with animals is grounding and rewarding. It balances the intensity of my studies and keeps my days centered on care, calm, and connection. I provide attentive and responsible care for pets, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and overall well-being. In my care, I ensure that feeding schedules are followed, environments are clean and secure, and that pets have appropriate stimulation through play or companionship. I maintain open communication with pet owners, report any health or behavioral concerns promptly, and adapt my care routines to each pet’s unique needs and temperament. My experience in customer service, time management, and careful attention to detail ensures a reliable and trustworthy environment for all animals under my supervision.
“It was awesome meeting Leanna, and I felt totally at ease leaving my pup in her care over Labor Day weekend. If I could give 6 stars, I would. Super professional, super responsive—any time I reached out, she got back to me within minutes, which really gave me peace of mind. This was my first time using Rover, and thanks to Leanna, it was a great experience. I’d happily recommend her to friends and family. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Ashley, a wonderful, friendly young lady who is easy to like instantly, my 2 corgies loved her, and appear to be missing her this moment! I was away for 10 days. She stayed at my home, sent photos and updates regularly and found ways to exercise them, even on rainy days. Ashley came over to my home prior to me leaving so she could meet me and the dogs, which I very much appreciated, the dogs instantly loved her. I will certainly use Ashley’s services again”

“McKenzie, was fabulous! We came home to very happy pups, and the house was spotless. We received many pictures and updates which helped us enjoy our vacation. We have already booked her again!!”

About: I have always pet sat for people, It’s something fun to do, I love going out and doing stuff with the dogs like going on trials or the beach I’m a full-time student so I’m able to take care of them in the morning as well as between classes and afternoon most classes I get out by 4 and have the afternoon. I have a rescue kitty in my home that is about a year old. Therefore I will not allow any other animals in my home. Being mindful of her
Ellendale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Christy is the BEST dog sitter we have ever used! Our quirky two basenjis are not the easiest dogs to care for and the almost one year old had a few potty accidents. Christy took it all in stride and never made us feel anything but supported and relaxed about our time away (first time leaving the young one). Her communication was excellent and both our pups fell in love with her immediately! She was so helpful with everything and we can’t say enough wonderful things about how well she cared for (and loved) our dogs.
