“Jenn was wonderful! She was dependable and super responsive. She sent us frequent photo updates as well which made us feel comfortable knowing our dog was in great hands while we were away”

“Patricia was wonderful! She provided updates and pictures of our pup throughout her stay. She was very responsive and kept great care of our dog and home while we were away.”

About: I've been around dogs all my life and love giving them plenty of play time and attention. I also just recently gained experience with puppies. They are my favorites 🙂↕️ Availability: Wednesday: 8am to 10:30am/ 5pm to 10pm Thursday: 5pm to 10pm Open availability on Friday, Saturday and Sunday If you have any questions or requests outside of my schedule, I will do my best to work with you. I am a student in college currently. I typically do drop ins, I feed according to how the owner wants their pet fed, I play with them as much as possible and give plenty of love and attention
“Madeline watched Cleo over Memorial Day Weekend! She sent lots of updates, made sure Cleo got her medicine every day, and was comforted with the right resources. She was super attentive and really neat with our home and definitely would trust her to watch Cleo again!”

“Amber is amazing, she came over and our dogs took to her immediately. Our oldest puppy can be a little challenging due to her being skittish, but Amber’s personality and energy helped ease her nervousness. Very reliable, and was able to help us out on short notice. I HIGHLY recommend!”


“Scott was our first introduction to Rover. We really appreciated that he could come on short notice to sit with our 22-week old puppy. We loved Scott's relaxed and gentle way with our dog who is so excited to meet someone new, but is still in manners training in how to greet people. Scott quickly picked up on what we were trying to teach and went along with that routine. Scott arrived on the dot of our agreed time and we plan to ask him to come again!”


About: I’ve been looking after fluffy frens of all shapes and sizes from a young age. My time doing a full house/dog sitting gig was for my grandparents and their French bulldog, Sugar (miss you, Sugs!). Since then I have been the go-to for my friends and family for taking care of their for legged family. I make sure your fury family gets the love and care they need, whether you just have one smol dog or a pack of greyhounds. I currently had a stretch of rough health luck, but my ails are your pups gain! I’m currently on the mend, and it’s going well, but between jobs, so my schedule is wide open. I’ll have the time to give your pups the TLC they deserve! Currently unavailable to board pets at my house, but I will make sure to treat all pets in a safe and caring way. I’ll treat them like a newborn baby, because hey, in a way they are!

About: I’m 19 and have had dogs my entire life, so I’m very comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and understanding their needs and personalities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. In addition to dogs, I’ve also cared for cats, bunnies, and other small pets for neighbors, friends, and family. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Whether your pet is energetic or more relaxed, I’ll make sure they get the care, attention, and affection they’re used to. I’m a full-time college student, but my class schedule is flexible, which gives me good availability on weekends and certain weekdays. I’m able to plan my schedule around pet care and can provide walks, drop-ins, feeding, and playtime. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet gets consistent care and attention. I’m very safety-oriented with my own pets and will treat yours with the same level of care and responsibility. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, leash use, and any specific needs. I pay close attention during walks and visits to make sure your pet stays safe, comfortable, and stress-free. Building trust with both pets and owners is very important to me.
“Tara is truly the best! We were so nervous to leave our little anxious pup, but Tara made us feel so comfortable with her frequent updates and photos. She gave Roma so much love and attention. I'm pretty sure Roma likes Tara more than she likes us now :).”


“Emma was a wonderful dog sitter for our 2 small dogs. Emma took care of dogs like they were her own, she shared timely updates and beautiful pictures. She stayed at our house for a week while we were out of the country, when we returned the house was spotless and our babies were so happy. I highly recommend Emma and will definitely book her again.”

“We love having Cindy to house sit our dog ! Besides taking care of the dog, she does so many other little things to show how much she cares for the people and animals she takes care of!”

“Amanda watched my golden retriever Murphy from Wednesday to Sunday. She was fantastic! Communication was great. She sent multiple updates throughout the day including photos. She left my house in exactly the same condition it was in before I left and even grabbed my mail for me. I highly recommend Amanda. I will be using her again!”

“Emily is incredible with my senior dog, Bernie. She's gentle and patient and is understanding of the unfortunate accident or 2 requiring clean up on some visits. I have peace of mind knowing she will be there for Bernie!”


“Could not have been happier Kelsey! We had a horrible dog watcher the weekend before and Kelsey instantly put our anxious minds at ease. We have a high energy dog and they seemed to get along very well. The house was clean and orderly when we got home as well. We have already booked her for another upcoming trip. Very highly recommend!”
“Molly is the best! She is very patient and caring with our senior dogs. She takes initiative to engage and enrich our pups with lots of fun and play. Of equal, if not greater, importance is her quick thinking when unforeseen events arise. She’s shrewd, highly responsible, and I trust her in an emergency. She is always our first choice. All around, she’s a stellar human and highly capable sitter!”

“Catie is a gem! We met twice before she stayed with our two small dogs for 4 nights. Catie updated us frequently and left our house spotless… and our dogs love her! She is kind, highly reliable, a great communicator and is a truly lovely person. So happy to have found her!”

“Thomas did a great job taking care of our boys. The dogs got plenty of attention and exercise. He kept the boys on their regular schedule and checked in often with pictures and updates. We hope to book again in the future.”

“I am so thankful for Giovanni! I was new to the Rover App and honestly didn’t expect to find someone who would be willing to take care of two nine week old energetic puppies that were not even potty trained. Giovanni agreed to puppy sit in my home for three days! He was extremely patient, gentle, and kind with Cedar and Ivy. From day one I was confident that Gio would care for the puppies the same way I do. He was communicative with me regarding his arrival time and during the day he provided me with an update on the puppies. It was a pleasure getting to know him. My only regret is that I didn’t get a picture of Gio with the puppies! Next time, Gio! 😊”

“Ashley took absolutely excellent care of our cat while we were out of the country for a week! I knew from the moment she met our cat during our meet and greet that our little girl was going to be in great hands. Throughout the trip, Ashley reached out with check-ins and photos reflecting how well she was being taken care of. She also responded quickly to any messages and went above and beyond watching our place. We (and our cat) look forward to seeing her again in the future!”

Elm Grove pet parents share their Rover experiences
Angela did a great job making my dog feel comfortable while I was not home, My little dog is very afraid of storms and Angela was great at staying with her and making her feel as comfortable as possible during the storms. She communicated with me to let me know Zara was doing well. I would defiantly use her again to take care of my dog

Cary was an excellent dog sitter! She cared for my dog for 7 days while I was out of the country, and this was my first time being away from my dog. She was very thoughtful about sending regular updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. Cary stayed at my home and took great care of both my dog and my space. She kept everything clean and even washed my sheets before I returned, which I truly appreciated after a long day of traveling. It’s clear she genuinely cares and treats your pet like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

Seth was great! He jumped right in to watch our boys last minute and was great about sending photos and updates throughout our time away. He was open and communicative during a scheduling snafu, which helped ease our anxiety. We came home to a clean house, which was so unexpected and appreciated, and two very happy dogs. We will definitely rebook with Seth in the future.

Terri did an outstanding job! This was the 1st time using Rover. She couldn’t have done a better job representing the company. She was very thorough and kind. She sent daily pictures and updates. Our dog is pretty old so it took him a little time to get used to her. Lastly, our flight was delayed and we were arriving home later than expected. She was able to assist and put our minds at ease. Thanks for everything Terri!!
