“Isabel is fantastic with my two big dogs! They have various health concerns and lots of energy, and she made us feel so comfortable with all the great updates/photos while staying at our house for the long weekend. Not only is she a wonderful house guest, we can tell how much our dogs truly enjoy spending time with her!”

“Emma was amazing. She took such great care of the pets and house. The videos and photos were so nice to receive and I knew my dog and cats were in good hands.”

“Kaitlyn is super communicative, thinks about how to make the experience the best it possibly can be for your pet, and sends tons of photos and updates to make sure you know your pet is in the best hands possible and is happy and taken care of! It’s obvious Kaitlyn enjoys caring for pets and that this means more to her than just a job!”

“Christine has one again been a fantastic dog sitter / house sitter. She kept my dog Duke company, played, went for walks, had picnics, etc. she left the house cleaner than we left it and we returned home to a very happy dog. We will 100% be using Christine for any time we go away.”

“I had an emergency trip planned and needed a last-minute sitter and Karla came in clutch. Not only did she take care of my dog and two cats. My dog was sick at the time and she helped me so much with her getting her all better. I could not recommend her more and you would be lucky to have her babysit, your precious pups, and cats.”

“Olivia was great with house sitting our dog. She kept him happy and safe, taking him on long walks and playing in the backyard. Took good care of the house and our pet tortise too! She provided good updates and gave us peace of mind. Certainly plan to rely on Olivia in future house sitting.”


“Bri is fantastic! She provided us with regular updates on our pups which gave us such peace of mind while on our vacation. She took great care of our boys & we cannot recommend her enough!”

About: Retired military medic used to have and to help friends and battle buddies when their animals had to go when they had to go overseas or on TDY work trips and things like that also help friends and things too. I am very by the book so if you leave me a list of rules and what needs to happen I'll make sure it gets done. I have a very open schedule. I work from home so if you need me at any point in time I can make it fit within my schedule. For the safety of your pets and things, I usually like to do a quick visit to make sure that we're going to get along. I know if it is a cat that a lot of times trust needs to be earned with them and that you can't just pull them out from wherever they're hiding a lot of times it's earning their trust for them to be come out and be friendly. You do not force it on them.
“Julia watched our 6 month golden retriever in our home for four days. I was never worried about our dog in her care! She has very open communication and sent us updates each day. I highly recommend her to watch your pet!”

“I felt very relieved knowing I could trust Savannah with my cats. She did a great job taking care of them. I received pictures and updates daily. I would recommend Savannah to anyone who has special fur babies. The next time I plan a vacation, Savannah will be one of the first people I'll call.”

About: Hello! Hanging with my family and friends’ dogs was always something I enjoyed and grew to love even more after joining Rover in 2018. It’s been a few years since I’ve taken on any Rover clients, but I’m still the go-to dog sitting friend. Dogs generally gravitate toward me and immediately feel comfortable. The same goes for me with them. That being said, I’m not pushy and I always follow the owner’s lead when interacting with their dog, especially for the first time. I work full time but mostly from home, so my schedule can be pretty flexible. I’m available for one-off walks or to dog sit for days at a time in your home. I follow instructions. I treat your home with respect. I pay attention to surroundings while on walks, especially since I could lead your pet on a route different than their used to.
About: As a lifetime owner and 30-plus year sitter of dogs and cats, there is no pet situation that I haven't experienced. I understand that your pet is a member of your family and that their safety and happiness while you're unable to care for them are paramount. In addition to just genuinely loving animals, my career as a healthcare provider uniquely prepares me to make sure your pet is healthy, secure, and engaged at all times. My own two senior dogs are everything to me, so I'm extremely mindful of any anxiety you or your pet may have when entering into a relationship with a sitter. Should it be necessary, I am proficient at all forms of medication administration. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged friend! Let me know your scheduling needs and I will make every effort to accommodate them. I am extremely flexible and can always work with my clients to provide consistent and reliable care for their pets. In your home, my goal is to respect your space while still providing loving care to your pet(s). Every client is different, and as such, be assured that whatever instructions you provide will be followed to the letter.
“Noah is the best cat/house sitter in the world. He was so communicative, respectful and treated my cat like his own. My cat loved him and was absolutely living for all the love, care and company Noah provided. I know my cat is just waiting for me to leave so he can hang out with Noah again - and I will never hesitate to do so. I got such great updates from Noah, and felt like I was there with him and my cat, it made being away from my furry buddy so much easier. Thank you Noah!!!”

“Great dog sitter. Showed up on time and quickly bonded with Gumbo. Kept us updated throughout the night and we never were concerned. Highly recommended.”

“Aidan was very communicative and made sure to reach out when Kieran was having stomach upset. They made the effort to coordinate both with me and my friend as I was out of the country and less accessible. Later on in my trip when my flights got messed up, they were ready and willing to come back to care for Kieran until I sorted everything out. They’re a wonderful and thoughtful pet sitter. I would recipe d them to anyone!”

“Sophie stayed with our 10 y/o lab, and took great care of him. I always worry about leaving him when we are on vacation, and it always puts my mind more at ease knowing he is getting taken care of in the comforts of his own home. Sophie kept us posted and sent us pictures to provide updates on our boy. Very thankful for the care she provided!”

“Molly was great! She took loving care of our critters, and competently managed what seems at face value like a possible crisis. All was well and she did exactly the right things even when she couldn’t get a hold of us. Top notch!”

“Nicky is an animal person. She just gets how animals are. Her confidence and gentle manner set us at ease. We have one cat who is quite skittish and shy and when she chose to sleep with Nicky the very first night of the stay we knew we had just the person. Our animals and our home were under terrific care and we were very relaxed while away and able to enjoy our vacation. We are trying mightily to secure her for future travel dates. I would confidently say she would be able to set all pet owners at ease.”

“Alice was a great dog/cat/house sitter. She always kept me updated. She let me know each time she was at the house and when she left. She kept the house very clean, she vacuumed and she even washed a throw pillow cover the dogs got dirty! She helped to maintain our house plants and garden. She truly went above and beyond in taking care of my fur babies and house while we were away!”

“Highly recommend Latifa, she worked wonders with my two post-op spayed (formerly) stray cats who required some special attention. So glad she was able to accommodate us so last minute!”

Elmwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Joanne is AWESOME!!! She watched my Mabel for about a week and I could not recommend her more. She’s super responsive on messages, and sent me a pic of my pup every day I was away with a little update too. She actually asked about this in advance - making sure she adjusted her communications to the needs of the owner (me!)

Emma was incredible with my 12y/o dog reactive pittie. She was super attentive, sent tons of pictures and videos, and communicated super quickly and clearly. She was wonderful staying in my apt and was so great with my instructions for his food and walking tools. Highly recommend her dog sitting and will be reaching out to her again and often!

Sophie did a wondeful job watching our two dogs for 9 nights! She was patient with them (one is high-energy and the other is timid). She sent photos of them every day and was very proactive and responsive in her communication. I think the pups had a nice time playing in the yard and cuddling on the couch with her. She also left our house very neat and tidy, so it was pleasant to return home! I would definitely book her house sitting services again!

I had to rush down to NY and PA last minute over the NYE holiday and Luigina was the New Years miracle for my family. She responded quickly and was thorough in assessing my dogs’ needs to make sure it was a good fit for all of us. She kept me updated the whole time sending me photos of my Henry and Jesse. If you are thinking about booking with her, stop thinking about it and just do it. I promise you won’t regret it.

Jada helped us with watching our 1 year old pup on New Year’s Eve with very little advanced notice. Jada was wonderful with our little Mabel and kept us updated while we were gone. We really appreciated the help and how loving she was with our girl. Thank you!
