“We had last minute plans and Katie came to our rescue! One of our dogs just had a minor surgery and one was full of energy - and both were well taken care of during our day trip. Thank you!!”
“Kaitlyn has been so patient with my anxious dog! I feel so good leaving him in her care because I know he'll be well taken care of and allowed to adjust at his own pace. She always leaves my home spotless and communicates promptly when I reach out. Highly recommend!”
“Louisa and her daughter Samantha are wonderful. I had to book them last minute, they were flexible, on time, and respectfully did what I asked them to do! They are very patient with my 7 yr old lab and my 9 week old lab puppy (we all know how naughty and energetic they can be). I received several updates during their overnight stay, and both of my girls were very content when I got home from work. Definitely would recommend them!”
“I am incredibly grateful to Alexandria for watching my dog, Topi. She is not only kind and pleasant, but she genuinely cares for Topi’s well-being. Alexandria went above and beyond to ensure Topi was happy and comfortable. Her attentive and loving nature truly sets her apart. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“We feel so lucky to have found Travis - he is so responsible, conscientious, and fantastic with our dog. We have had him sit for us a few times now and will continue to request his services as often as possible! Our house gives him two thumbs, and two paws up!”
“Natalee was phenomenal with Remora! Consistent updates, cute pics of my cat, and very reliable with scheduling and coordination. Natalee took great notes to make sure Remora was cared for the best as could be. Thank you!!”

“Salem did a great job taking care of my two dogs. They stayed over at my house (cared for the dogs in my home while I was gone multiple days) and left things in good shape. They are super responsive, and sent me lots of photos and updates so I could see how everything was going. I would definitely recommend them!!”
“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!”
“Tessa was fantastic! She is a great communicator and was very easy to correspond with during our trip. She was able to arrange our meet and greet right away and was incredibly polite and professional. She took excellent care of our older dog, Charlie, sending frequent photos and updates. I felt very at ease with her in our home. She left our house spotless and even collected some eggs from our chickens - which was totally above and beyond. Tessa is an awesome dog sitter and I'd love to have her stay with Charlie again in a heartbeat!”
“Stephanie took excellent care of my diabetic dog who had some surprise additional restrictions after a tooth removal earlier that week. Additionally, she left my house spotless.”
“Jordyn is an incredibly responsible and patient pet sitter! During our three-day trip, she provided timely updates every day, keeping us informed about our dog’s activities. Our pup absolutely adores her—they got along so well! Our whole family truly appreciates Jordyn’s wonderful care and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Jordyn!”
“Joshua was fantastic from the start! He took such great care of Millie & Hope and provided daily updates. The house was spotless after a week of being gone & the dogs were very happy!! Would certainly recommend Joshua and will definitely use him again in the future!”
“Annemarie was a WONDERFUL dog sitter for my pup! She was so attentive and kept me informed the entire time, and Laika absolutely adored her. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Maddie took such good care of our dog when we were away. We could tell at our meet and greet that Ferdinand and Maddie were a good match. Just knowing he was in good hands, being well fed and going on walks, gave us great peace of mind. She also helped us out by bringing in our mail, Amazon packages and wheeling our trash and recycle bins in for us. We were so happy to receive some very cute pictures of Ferdinand. You are an amazing sitter, and we will be recommending your services to all of our friends and family who have animals. Thanks a million Maddie!”
“Vanessa is a great cat sitter! She gives my cats plenty or playtime and petting. She sent pictures of the cats to me everyday while I was on vacation with a report on how they were doing. Totally gave me peace of mind while I was away and allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my cats. :)”
“Samantha is a very good worker. She is very responsable and she is always on time. She took care of Rokko very well and Rokko was very happy since the first moment. We appreciated her work very much.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life but have professionally done in the past 6 years! I love spending time around animals and I also stay hyper vigilant if there’s any issues going on! I am currently working in sales where I spend all day in Costco, so I'm looking for a way to get outside and make a new community of friends, and get some walk and play time in with a furry friend! Always more than happy to make time for your pet! I have a cat named Theo and he gets fed on a schedule three times a day, which seems to the perfect mix. I like to keep pets on a schedule and active so that they’re getting all the enrichment and care that they need! If there’s not a fenced in yard, I’m happy to go for a walk!

Ashley H.
“I have known Ashley for over 5 years. She is one of the most responsible person I know. She used to have a dog, and I have seen how much love and care she gave him. She is currently a cat mom that loves to spoil him with affection and love. Ashley loves the outdoors, so I have no doubt in my mind that she will be an excellent candidate to walk all the precious puppies in the neighborhood! She also has an experience working at a vet clinic, so she has a eye for detail, and experience to understand the pets needs. I would trust her with all of my own pets!”
Emerson East pet parents share their Rover experiences
Tessa was fantastic with our three dogs during a week long stay at our home! Two of them in particular struggle with anxiety and she set them at ease immediately. She was highly communicative, providing multiple updates a day, and going above and beyond in keeping them all entertained. She even vacuumed! We cannot recommend Tessa enough, and will be booking her next time we hit the road!

Joshua was incredible with our Lilo, a 2.5 year old Australian Shepherd mix. Lilo is an energetic and playful dog and Joshua gave her plenty of long walks and playtime, like tug of war. Lilo also has separation anxiety when we are gone, and would be hesitant to go on walks, for which Joshua was extremely patient and kind towards her with encouraging her to put on her harness and walk. Joshua is very good at leash training and so Lilo followed his lead with walks very well. He even got a retractable leash so that she can sniff at her own pace and run around while on walks, making walks very enjoyable for her! He was able to gain her trust such that within a couple days, she was already sleeping by his side. We are dog fosterers ourselves who work with anxious dogs with trauma, so we know it’s not easy to leave your pet (especially if they struggle without you around) with a completely new person. We HIGHLY recommend Joshua to be your new pet sitter because he’s extremely kind, responsible with Lilo’s needs and schedule, and is a natural at winning over our dog (who is usually suspicious of new people). He kept Lilo both safe and comforted physically and emotionally throughout the time we were away. We were constantly assured that Lilo was doing well, and Joshua even took the time to video call with us multiple times to speak with Lilo. Lilo loves Joshua and we know your pets will too!
Annmarie has watched Winston for us multiple times now. She really goes above and beyond to make sure our boy is well taken care of! Our pup is not an easy dog, and requires multiple attempts at walks and potty breaks. She's patient and caring with him - making sure all his needs are met while we're away! Not only does she take great care of Winston, she goes above and beyond to keep us updated while we're away. We're so grateful to have found such a wonderful pet sitter.
Lauren and Nia did a wonderful job housesitting and caring for our two large dogs. They were responsible, clean, and great at communicating with us. They followed all our instructions, and we came home to some very happy pups that were obviously well cared for. We highly recommend Lauren and Nia!
Vanessa is a great cat sitter! She gives my cats plenty or playtime and petting. She sent pictures of the cats to me everyday while I was on vacation with a report on how they were doing. Totally gave me peace of mind while I was away and allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my cats. :)
Sophie took amazing care of Ernest - she gave me detailed updates, communicated clearly and was careful to ask questions to understand what Ernest needed, and most importantly pampered Ern and made sure he could stick to his normal routine as much as possible while I was away. I came home to a happy and relaxed dog!
OMGoodness, GRACE! Please trust us when we say that Grace is truly the sweetest sitter who did an amazing job of balancing doing her online school work and giving such loving attention to our two dogs. Our little dog - who is usually very suspect of / shy around new people - instantly loved her (which seriously never happens!) and she figured out ways to help calm our old anxious dog (by going on a sniffy walk and by lovingly letting her basically paw her face off). Grace came for a quick meet and greet the day before the sit, which made everyone feel much more at ease, and that was very generous of her time. During the sit, we had some unexpected circumstances arise, and Grace was more than willing to roll with the punches and adjust parameters and timing of the sit, etc. We will most definitely be asking for Grace to be a sitter for us in the future… And you will be extremely happy to do the same, no questions asked :)
