âCathryn is wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Lucy who is highly energetic. She kept us updated with pictures each day and was accommodating when things popped up. This was our first time using rover after changing dog sitters and Iâm so thankful we found her!â

âJeweliana and Riley were amazing. We got updates, thoughtful questions and check ins on arrival time back home to ensure the pets were not left alone for too long. They took great care of our house and I felt so much peace of mind having them at my home while I was away.â

âRebekah was so sweet, prompt and attentive to my dogs! She stayed overnight and was clean and thoughtful to send me many excellent photos of my happy dogs.â

âMadison and Dave did an awesome job! This was a first for me leaving my 2 babies and having someone house sit. I couldn't have had any better sitters than these two! My home looked just like it did when I left it and I'm very grateful. They were wonderful. They will definitely be the ones I contact the next time I go anywhere or need someone. đâ

âScarlet went above and beyond throughout our trip. She took incredible care of my dogâkept him on his routine, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. She sent regular updates and photos which really put me at ease. On top of that, she looked after my home and my vehicles in a bit of crisis. She kept me updated, handled everything with care, and was thoughtful and reliable from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend anyone trust their homes and pets with Scarlett!!! Thank you again!!đđđđđâ

âHannah did an in-house pet sitting for us for 6 days. She did amazing with all 3 of our dogs. Always very responsive. She was friendly and nice, so we felt immediate comfort with leaving her with our home and pets. Looking forward to booking again.â

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I got my very first puppy at six years old. From that moment on, I wasnât just âaroundâ dogs, I grew up learning how to understand them, love them, and communicate with them. What truly makes me different from other sitters is that I care for dogs emotionally just as much as I do physically. Your dog wonât just be fed, walked, or watched, they will be loved, seen, and heard. To me, dogs arenât âjust animals.â They are family members with feelings, personalities, and needs. I make it my priority to make every dog feel safe, appreciated, and understood, giving them the attention, affection, and companionship they deserve. My goal is for your pup to not only be cared for, but to have an experience theyâll remember, one filled with joy, comfort, and connection. Over the years, Iâve trained all my own dogs and even worked with professional trainers so I could learn the right techniques and bring them home. Iâve gained hands-on experience with: ⢠Potty training ⢠Door manners & boundaries ⢠Feeding routines & food discipline ⢠Socializing with other dogs Iâm fully committed to the well-being of every dog I look after, and I genuinely look forward to meeting new pups and adding more furry friends to my life. When your dog is with me, theyâre treated like my own , with patience, structure, safety, and endless love. Iâm currently home from college for a month and a half, and pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I have plenty of free time and no other jobs or major commitments while Iâm here. I spend most of my time at home with my family, so Iâm available throughout the day to give your dog the attention, love, and care they need. Any small activities I have during the day usually last only 1â2 hours, and Iâm very flexible and great with communication. I make sure to plan around my bookings so your pupâs routine always comes first. Your dog will have someone who is present, reliable, and fully available to care for them. When I care for a pet, I donât see them as âjust a dog.â I see them as a member of the family, just like I would treat a younger sibling. That mindset guides everything I do. In the morning, feeding them is my first priority, just as Iâd make sure any family member eats. I also make sure they get outside for bathroom breaks right away, because their comfort always comes first. I genuinely enjoy being outside, no matter the weather, and I love taking dogs on walks. Fresh air and movement are a gift, so I make sure each pup gets regular walks, bathroom breaks, and plenty of time outdoors. When a dog signals that they need to go out, whether they walk to the door, ring a bell, or give me a look, I donât make them wait. I respond right away. I keep each dogâs routine consistent, especially feeding times and potty schedules, because structure helps them feel safe. When weâre out walking, I sometimes take different routes so they can experience new sights and smells. I never walk dogs off-leash outside of fenced areas for safety reasons, both for the dog and others around us. At home, I like to include dogs in what Iâm doing throughout the day. I donât believe in locking them away unless absolutely necessary. If Iâm cleaning, folding clothes, or moving around the house, I let them follow me so they feel involved, loved, and part of my world. I also have a secure patio play space where dogs can run around freely while staying safe. My goal is always to make every dog feel cared for, seen, safe, and appreciated, like they are truly part of the family while theyâre with me.
âAdam was a wonderful sitter for our pets and home. It was very apparent he took excellent care of our pups and they felt safe and comfortable. He was incredibly communicative with updates/pictures which was so appreciated. We will definitely book him in the future!â

âMaggie was great with our animals. She communicated with us the whole time and was punctual. She really cares for animals like they are her own.â

âKatherine was amazing!! She was great with sending updates and keeping us in the loop with our babies! Can not recommend enough!! Thank you Katherine!! âşď¸â

âKira was so communicative, kind, and professional! She house sat with our 3 pups and it was clear from the daily photos and updates that they loved her. We will certainly book with Kira again.â

âHailey was a pleasure to work with. She was able to squeeze us in at short notice after another sitter was not able to stay with our dogs. She came for a meet and greet and was great with our crew. She was on top of everything and had thoughtful questions. It was a relief to have her while we were gone. She sent updates, pictures, and took care of their special needs even when one had some GI issues while we were gone. I would highly recommend and we will be working with her again in the future!â

âIlleana was great. She house sat and took good care of my babies while I was away on a trip. She was very respectful of my home, gave me tons of updates and my dogs loved her. I highly recommend her:)â

âLeslie was awesome. She reassured me Asher was in great hands and took good care of him and my home. Will absolutely rebook her again in the future!â

âClover watched my two dogs while I was away for four days. I felt so much relief knowing my boys were well taken care of. Clover engaged my dogs in lots of play time, activities and snuggles. I could not be happier with the quality of care Clover delivered!â

About: I have been raised around pets my whole life and have had 5 puppies we raised as a family. I have experience with potty training, walking, regular training, and just being playful with the dogs in general. I love animals and this is more fun for me than anything. I have free time throughout the week that I would love to dedicate to taking care of any animal that needs attention! I will be in town for some time and needing to make some extra money so I will have plenty of time. We have no pets so I will be able to give all my attention to any animal that needs it. We are staying in a complex that had plenty of grass area to play and also right across the street from a park. When at a clients home I would do as asked and give the pets plenty of love and attention and play time!
About: I have a total of 10 years of pet sitting experience. My job duties include feeding animals on the schedules provided, administering treats (if allowed), cleaning food and water bowls, administering medications (oral/topical), if needed, monitoring for signs of illness or injuries, following emergency care instructions if necessary, daily walks or outdoor potty breaks, playtime with toys and activities, cuddles, petting, and attention, and keeping pets on their normal schedules while you are away. The utmost importance for me is to ensure that your fur babies are safe and comfortable while you are away until you get back. Pet sitting is my full time career! So I will be able to devote my time and attention to you and your family! For all of your pet sitting needs. I am comfortable caring for any animals, crated or free roam. If you do not have a fence I am comfortable taking your babies on plenty of daily walks!
âAlexis took such good care of my girls. She was also amazing during the meet and greet with my crazy boy Archie (I already had him booked for refresher training during this trip). Iâll definitely be going to Alexis as a trusted sitter for my tribe from here on out!â

âVictoria was awesome. She sent updates and photos of our furry little loved ones. She walked our dog way more than we normally do! Very easy process. We feel very comfortable with her, watching our animals again and will definitely be using her in the future.â

Fairways Forest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jeweliana and Riley have house/dog sat for us a few times now, and always have fantastic communication. We have been dealing with some regression of toileting behavior with one of our dogs, and they were very understanding and adjusted without complaint. They have a firm spot on our âgo-toâ list.

We were out of the country for two weeks and very anxious about leaving our pets, especially our old dog who is having a lot of mobility and incontinence issues. We knew from previous trips (and other old dogs) that Layda would take excellent care and be able to handle any curve balls that Aster might throw her way. Layda cares for our pets like her own and we felt much more confident on this trip knowing that she was here with them.
