“Maia was kind enough to come to a meet and greet visit days before the sitting job. I enjoyed our time chatting and getting to know a bit about her. I felt really good about leaving Sully with her. During the actual sitting job, she had planned many activities to help keep my high energy puppy busy. We know that they went for walks, played ball and much more as he was tired out! And that was a good thing! Looking forward to a repeat visit. Thanks Maia for taking such good care of Sully.”
“Ashly was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! They can definitely be a handful at times, but she followed all of my instructions very thoroughly, from their specific feeding schedule to the way they go potty in the yard and even how to clean up afterward. I really appreciated how thorough, nice, and attentive she was, and it showed. I came home to happy pups and a spotless house! She also kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. This was the longest amount of time I left the dogs. I’m so grateful for the care she gave my dogs and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and loving sitter.”
“This was our second time with Jackie and it went great! She sent daily updates, which were much appreciated. Jackie also took really great care of my home and left things very clean and tidy!”
“Marti is such an excellent dog sitter and a truly nice person. Our dog is elderly, hard of hearing, visually impaired, and on a special low protein diet. Marti came to our home to care for Samson for 9 days, and care for him she did! She loved him like we do, making sure all his needs were met. She sent us lots of pictures throughout each day, and she let us know if she needed to leave him for even a couple hours. I recommend Marti without any reservations at all. She is the best!”
“Samara was fantastic!!! This was the first time using the River app and. basically having a stranger come stay at my house, so naturally I was a bit cautious but i couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter!! I felt very comfortable leaving her alone at my house and caring for my 2 best buddies 🐶🐱. My dog is big and intimidating and Samara had no issues with her at all, they quickly became best buds 💗. I will definetely use her again and would recommend Samara 100% 😊. Thank you Samara”
“Haley was absolutely amazing! My Pomeranian puppy needed care for about 6 hours, and Haley went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. She listened to our wants and needs for our puppy and asked all the right questions beforehand to be prepared. During the day, she sent me updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. I’m so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!”
“We entrusted our beloved furry friend to Rave’s care for six nights while we were away on our summer vacation—and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Rave was incredibly easy to communicate with and kept us updated every day with thoughtful messages and adorable photos of our pup. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our buddy was not only well looked after but genuinely happy and comfortable. We truly appreciate the care and attention Rave provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“So very happy to have Haley stay with my girls! I got many updates and photos that made me feel comfortable and happy being away. She was always on time and very friendly with them :) I would definitely recommend having Haley watch your babies!”
“Ciara was amazing as always! She stayed over with our GSD for the weekend and she gave us constant updates and pictures throughout the entire stay! I would trust her with my babies any day!”
“Amy was great and I highly recommend! She cared for my dog & cat overnight & sent picture updates throughout the day. Even my neighbors complemented seeing her walk my Nala and how good she was taking care of her. I will definitely hire her again. Thank you Amy!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about having a stranger watch my dog because she has a lot of anxiety. Carolyn did a meet and greet earlier in the week to make sure it was a good fit. She arrived on time and took good care of my dog, sending lots of picks of her playing. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Nicole was an amazing dog sitter! She worked from home so she could stay with my anxious pup. Communication was excellent - timely responses and I got pictures every day. She even left a little postcard of pictures she took of my dog for me when I get home! So cute! I felt comfortable with her at my house, which she left as tidy as she found it. Anyone would be lucky to have her watch their pets.”
About: I have had and taken care of dogs since a very young age. I have always taken pride to help care for dogs. Even with special abilities or medical problems. My dog Luna was Diagnosed with Epilepsy. So I am experienced and know what to do it high risk situations I work a full time job Monday through Friday from 8:30-5. I am free anytime after 5pm during the week. I am unable to do weekends or stay over nights. So if your looking for a 4-5 hour sitter. I'm your person! I will not be able to take your dog to my house. I can crate, walk, watch, or anything you would like me to do.
“Nicholas was great with our house full of animals. They're a high energy and can be a lot to handle but he was a natural with them all. We came home from our trip to find happy, cared for, and relaxed animals. One of our cats who is notoriously shy and cautious of new people took to him immediately!”
“Kayla is amazing!! We had another sitter booked for months and found out 9 days before leaving for our trip that she was no longer available - a panicked search for Rover for a new sitter and found Kayla! We arranged to meet before our trip so she could meet the dogs and it was perfect! She spent time getting to know them and their routines. My wife and I felt so at ease with Kayla! Kayla kept us posted all week about our dogs but also let us enjoy our trip as I knew she had it all handled! We came home to an immaculate home, well cared for dogs and truly the best experience!”
“Ray comes highly recommended after his stay with our cat and dog! He is an effective communicator, quick to respond and easy to plan with. He took excellent care of our pets and our home and sent us updates while we were gone. Both pets seemed happy and at ease when we returned. Would definitely recommend Ray to anyone in need of a sitter.”
“I can’t say enough about how wonderful Beste was with my little dog Harry. He is elderly, blind and hard of hearing. He doesn’t like many people but he loved Beste. He is on medications and is a finicky eater. He took his meds from Beste and he ate well. He is sometimes incontinent but during her 3 day stay he only had one accident. She sent me many pics and videos and I was able to enjoy my long weekend away without having to worry about Harry. I highly recommend Beste, she is the best.”

Emslie pet parents share their Rover experiences
I am beyond grateful for the incredible care Hillary provided to my two rescue dogs, Astrid and Rocco. These pups aren’t the easiest to look after—they come with a full set of challenges and sensitivities—but she handled everything with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. From the thorough pre-visit questions to the daily updates (complete with thoughtful notes and adorable photos), it was clear that Astrid and Rocco were in the best hands. Hillary went above and beyond to make sure both dogs felt safe and comfortable. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter who truly understands and respects the unique needs of rescue animals!
Natalie was phenomenal with my dog, Lina over a 5 day house-sitting booking. She took the time to ask questions, and was attentive when learning about Lina's quirks and her daily routine. She'd always send multiple updates a day, pictures on walks and at meal times. My apartment was just as I left it when I returned. Would absolutely recommend her, she'll treat your dog like they're her own, and is super respectful when house sitting. Will definitely book again!
Kayla was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to leave our apartment in great shape! We were able to enjoy our travel without worrying about the care of our little cat - receiving daily pictures and confirmation of arrivals and departures. Kayla made the process super easy/simple, giving us so much peace of mind. :)
Rave was phenomenal! i have two elderly dogs who require multiple medications each at different times of the day and Rave was incredibly attentive to their needs and schedules. my girls can be quite anxious when i leave but they seemed perfectly at ease with Rave, who sent frequent status updates and pictures and was always able to be contacted, day or night. i will book Rave again in a heartbeat! They were a great houseguest and an even better dog sitter!
Maria is a competent and dependable sitter. She is also very personable. One of my cats needed a daily pill and I was concerned if a sitter would be able to handle this task. There was no need to worry as Maria was up to it. She also treated my cats with care. I was very pleased with her abilities and would definitely hire her again.
Once again, a great experience with Judith. She is timely, experienced and tends to all the needs of my dog, Earl. When I return home he is relaxed and the home is in the exact same condition when I left. Judith is the only overnight sitter who I trust. I don’t even check in while away.
Haley was wonderful! She was a respectful house guest. She gave us updates and sent photos of our dogs through out her stay. She was very thorough in her questions getting to know our dogs and their routine. She was overall great to work with. We will definitely be using her in the future!
Ann made herself to care for Enzo on very short notice. Even so, she stopped by to meet him ahead of time. She kept in regular communication with us. Despite being stung by a bee on the paw (which Ann made us aware of immediately), Enzo was in excellent spirits when we arrived home. He obviously was well loved in our absence.
I can’t say enough about how wonderful Beste was with my little dog Harry. He is elderly, blind and hard of hearing. He doesn’t like many people but he loved Beste. He is on medications and is a finicky eater. He took his meds from Beste and he ate well. He is sometimes incontinent but during her 3 day stay he only had one accident. She sent me many pics and videos and I was able to enjoy my long weekend away without having to worry about Harry. I highly recommend Beste, she is the best.
Completely exceeded our family's expectations! Sam was the epitome of professional and went above and beyond her role as a dog sitter. She handled our pet Rosie with love and exceptional care for 18 days, and left our home in great shape with tidy/ clean conditions. I would definitely use Sam again and we highly recommend her for your pet needs. Thanks Sam!
Nicholas was a fantastic sitter! When we did the meet and greet, he spent ample time with us as we went over both Bear (GSD) and Spyro's (Bearded Dragon) daily routine. While staying at our house, he was able to administer oral medication to Spyro and food/hang out with Bear (who definitely has separation anxiety issues). He was even able to walk Bear even though he is dog reactive! We got photos while we were gone as well, which was nice. I highly recommend Nicholas!
