“Kelsie was the perfect sitter for us! She was extremely professional, our pups loved her, and that was exactly what we were hoping for. She sent photos often, which made us smile and reinforced our decision to work with her. All communication was clear and occurred with perfect frequency. We will most definitely be asking for Kelsie again. She was very respectful of our home and has a great personality. Many thanks from us and of course peanut and Annie 🩷”
“Matthew is great with dogs! Has experience and established an easy report with our seven-year-old rescue dog, Hank. Appreciated his care and the great photos he sent. Great!”
About: My 13 year old son and I absolutely love pets. Currently don't have any pets but we love making new new furry friends. We only take one family of pets or pet at a time to make sure we give doggies all the attention they need while away from their owners. About 5 years ago we would foster dogs from shelters but we decided to give this app a try and see what new experiences we could gain. We love to take walks at the park and are always up for bringing a furry companion on our adventures. Our weekends are usually at home or at the park so we have plently of time to play with your pup both indoors and outdoors! We live in an apartment but it is a very pet friendly community. There is even a small doggie play area as well as the park right across the street.
“Sophie did a great job. The house was clean and the dog was walked every day. She sent pictures and updates daily. She was at the house every day and kept my pets company.”
“Christina is excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and videos that completely eased my mind. When I returned, [Dog’s Name] was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious that she treated them like family. The house was spotless, routines were followed perfectly. She is very reliable, kind, and truly attentive. She came out three times to get accustom to our dogs routine prior to us leaving out of town. She is everything you could hope for in a pet sitter. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pup, and I highly recommend her.”
About: I am a recently retired grandmother who has been taking care of animals for many years. I have a Catahoula and a mixed breed tabby. Animals give me pure joy and now that I’m retired, I would like the opportunity to help other families by taking care of their beloved pets. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I have grandchildren who mostly live out of town so I will block time off on my calendar that I may be away from home. But because I am retired, I can commit all my time to watching your pet either in-home or if boarding. I will give your pet the same love and attention that I give my own. I will respect your rules and boundaries, but we love lap cuddles sitting on the couch, watching TV with our pets and sleeping with them if they like that kind of thing.
“Cole did a great job watching the house and pet sitting! He spent lots of time with our dogs and was very communicative. He was also very flexible with our schedule which was very appreciated!”
“Hannah was amazing! I was worried about my dog because he is older and is slow to trust new people. He had no problems warming up to Hannah. She did great at keeping me updated, I definitely recommend her!”

“Thank you so much! I have a chronic problem with not being able to trust hardly anyone with my dog, and with Alex my worries are as eased as possible and I am able to trust that Peanut is safe and taken care of by someone reliable.”
“Nashira is awesome! We came home to happy, healthy puppies & our house looked just like we left it! Will definitely use Nashira again for house & dog sitting! 💕”
“Awesome team that spoiled the pups and was super nice and accommodating. Will highly recommend and call again! For a first time using Rover they made it a great experience.”
“Gaby was awesome with our pup and cat. They are special animals, our dog has some separation anxiety so she barely leaves your side. Gaby made sure she was comfortable and provided us updates of her daily and even a video of her getting the zoomies which she truly only gets when she is happy and relaxed. Our Dog's rating for Gaby would be 5/5 would zoomie again with her! Gaby also left our home clean and taken care of. Couldn't ask for more!”
“Lauren was absolutely spectacular to work with. We have recently taken in a stray - who is still adjusting and Lauren handled our needs so well. She was very friendly during the initial meeting and sent us plenty of photos and video updates while house sitting / watching our dogs. Thank you for showing such tender loving care!”
“Laurie was amazing. Our little fur baby was happy and healthy, without giving us those sad pitiful “ you left me behind” eyes, that we sometimes get after other sitters have left. Thanks so much, Laurie. We appreciate you!”
“Heather was wonderful! This was my first time using rover as I was in a bind on the holiday weekend with no one to watch my 4 fur babies.. From the first few messages with her to meeting her she made me feel very comfortable and gives off the good people vibes.... She was very communicative and sent pictures/videos... came home to house and dogs just as I left it. Would definitely book Heather again, so grateful for the peace of mind knowing my wolf pack had good company ❤️🤗”
“Abby was so great with our girls and took such great care of them! She gave updates and sent pictures throughout her stay with them and I know they had the best time with her. We can’t wait till next time!”
“Alyson was great, even with a last minute booking and extra stipulations due to my own poor planning. Sweet girl, very good communication, and reliable. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was 10. I’ve worked with cats and dogs with disabilities and those with a range of temperaments and needs. I am currently helping leash train a Great Pyrenees puppy. I’m currently working part time doing Door Dash and studying for the MCAT, so I’ll have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of pets! I am hard working and detail-oriented. I make sure to follow instructions to fit the specific needs of the pet I am taking care of.
