“Sparkle is amazing in every way! I could fully relax while I was away because I knew my bunny would be so very loved!!! If I could leave more than five stars I would!!! 😊”

“Debbie was great. She handled everything professionally, asked great questions, and even had some suggestions. Good communication leading up to and during our trip. We would use her again.”


“I hate leaving a review because I want Jamie all for us! We’ve never had such a phenomenal dog and house sitter who takes such amazing care of our pets and our home. He lets us truly relax and enjoy vacation knowing everything at home is in the best hands. I couldn’t recommend him more.”

“Simply, Adeline was a perfect pet sitter in pur home. Our little dog is 16 years old and doesn't hear. He also was highly traumatized before we adopted him, so new people make him very agitated. deline was amazing with him. She was kind enough to agree to a pre vacation meetup before our holiday. She listened to our concerns and clearly treated him well. By the time we came home a week later, she was his bestie. Adeline sent us photos periodically with updates and seemed to really care about them, offering to sit for us again in the future. We're so grateful to Adeline for her patience and care; she made it possible for me to relax on vacation knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Adeline!”

“Emma did a great job watching my pup! I’m always a little nervous leaving him with someone new and trusting someone in my home, but she made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. She kept me updated, took great care of him, and left the place spotless. I’ll definitely be using her again for future sits!”


“Our two dogs were instantly at ease with Kelly the moment they met her. She watched our two large dogs (60lb and 70 lb) for eleven days while we were traveling. She took each of them on a walk every morning, kept them company during the day, and spent the night at our house for their peace of mind (and ours). She coped admirably with an unexpected outbreak of ants in the kitchen that started the morning before we left, and with our inquisitive Shepherd chewing up her sunglasses. In addition, she fed our pet frogs twice weekly and watered our house plants. She sent us daily updates and pictures of the dogs. When we returned home, our dogs were happy to see us but calm and didn't appear stressed in the least. We look forward to hiring Kelly again to care for our dogs.”

“So happy to say I came home to a happy dog and a beautifully clean home. Lucinda sent pictures of Sam and kept me informed all the way along. I certainly will use Lucinda again. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to take care of your animals.”

“Ann is amazing!! We had to leave for a last minute trip and she was so helpful and accommodating, even offering to come by the day before to meet our dogs and get the run down. She was a great communicator and our dogs were very well cared for. Would recommend her to anybody looking for a pet sitter.”

“Dustin was great with our cats while we were away. We were gone for 11 days and nervous about leaving our cats. Dustin proved to be a very reliable pet and house sitter. We had a handful of items pop up while we were away. Dustin was quick to communicate and act on some special requests for us. He was responsive to our messages, sent photos everyday, and cared for our boys beyond our expectations for a house sitter. We’ll definitely be using Dustin again in the future!”

“Jason was a wonderful dog and house sitter! We received pictures and videos regularly, which were very appreciated while we were traveling. We trusted Hazel was in good hands and the house was, too! We’d definitely have Jason watch Hazel again.”

About: I'm a life-long animal lover with an honest nature that animals immediately love! I promise to care for your beloved animal just like you would if you were home. I'm an artist with a degree in Graphic Design and work as an accounting assistant for a living. Because I mostly work from home, I have lots of flexible time to be present and keep your pets company. I'm happy to be a hands-on snuggler, or a 'just-be-near-me-but-don't-touch-me' companion. My easy going nature never goes unnoticed when it comes to new furry friends, and they know I can be trusted. My wife and I have 2 adopted kitty brothers, The King Beast and PrettyBoy Prince Flash. We love veing cat Moms and would also love to be 'Pet Aunties'. I'm very lucky to be able to keep a flexible schedule. I work from home 3 days a week and choose what time I go into the office. During drop-in vsisits, I know how important is is to entering quickly and secure the door to prevent any escape artists from fleeing. I also like to announce myself to the animals so they know who is coming in.
“Matt was amazing with my pack and I would book him again in a heartbeat. We rescued my dog from an abusive household and he still can be very nervous around new people. Matt was amazing with him, he was in great hands and I was quickly no longer nervous about leaving my little guy. He was very communicative and my house was spotless when we came home. I would highly recommend Matt for your pet sitting needs!”

“Absolutely the best. Tayler was super responsive and made our first experience with Rover incredible. She provided us with some many pictures and updates and our girls loved her. Will 100% be using her services again!”


“If you are looking for someone to take care of your pet, then look no further. Marianne took such good care of our family dog when we were away for five days. She gave Sugar more love, care and activity than I could have asked for, keeping me in the loop every step of the way since it was her first time watching her. I always new that Sugar was in great hands, and I couldn't recommend Marianne more.”


About: I had an opportunity to get to know and build relationships with several of the doggy regulars (and their parents) who frequented the coffee shop I worked at for several years! I feel lucky to be the one a handful of them trusted enough with their animals while they were away. I understand that your pets are so much more than just your pets, they are your family! I am deeply passionate about caring for all animals and feel so lucky that I get to build lasting connections with people through caring for their fur babies! I will always do my absolute best to match the regular routines you have created together. & I promise to give the same level of care that your furry family member receives from you when you can’t be there! My goal is always to help you feel at ease while you’re away knowing they’re in good hands + being well taken care of 💖 I’m relocating from Utah to Oregon and will be available to meet you and your pets at the end of May. I am rebuilding a clientele there and I’m between day jobs meaning I will have lots of time and flexibility to tend to your animals 💕 Let me know what your routines normally look like so I can do my best to match them and offer your same level of care. 🐶🐱
“Jen did a fantastic job sitting our mini-poodle mix, Arlo. He's a rescue with pretty serious separation anxiety, and it often takes him a while to warm up to strangers. Jen immediately made a concerted effort to make Arlo comfortable and was incredibly respectful of his boundaries. It was obvious from the first second that she had experience with anxious dogs, and she did a great job of keeping him calm and making sure he felt safe. I can't recommend her highly enough.”

“Tyler is one of the best Rovers I have ever booked! He followed all of my care instructions and kept me updated on how the dog was doing. The photos he sent me made me feel at ease. I will definitely book him again!”

Far Southwest pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was the first time Lisa stayed with our golden Beatrice. She was great!! She took excellent care of Beatrice and our home. We came back to happy dog and a clean home. Lisa sent regular updates and photos and left a detailed care sheet for us with everything that she did each day. She followed our instructions for Beatrice perfectly. I highly recommend Lisa to take care of your pets. We will definitely rebook Lisa in the future.

Taryn was absolutely incredible, and we truly cannot recommend her enough 🤍🐾 From the moment we met her, she was kind, thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cared so much about our girls. She kept us updated with tons of sweet photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. One of the sweetest parts for us was seeing how comfortable our Riley became with her. Riley can be slow to warm up to new people, so seeing her rolling over for belly rubs and fully relaxing with Taryn honestly brought so much joy to our hearts. It was so clear our girls felt safe, loved, and genuinely cared for with her. Taryn went above and beyond, handled everything with so much care, and was incredibly attentive and reassuring the entire time. We already shared her profile with one of our best friends and will absolutely continue recommending her to others because she is truly such a genuine, caring person. The girls adored her, and we cannot wait to book with her again 🤍🐶🐕🐾

Melissa and her wife, Leslie, were amazing with our senior dog!! They came over to meet her ahead of time and I felt so comfortable leaving her in their care. They sent me regular updates and left the house very clean for our return. Will absolutely use them again in the future!

Emily was fantastic! She came to meet our puppy, connected with our puppy quickly, and asked great questions about her care. Emily is personable, clearly loves animals, and had great communication both in setting up the booking and while we were away. She sent cute pictures to let us know how each day went and Emily was flexible when the dates changed during our trip. Thank you Emily!

Lucinda is just amazing.!! Thoughtful, gentle, and conscientious of my specific needs for MY high maintenance needs for my dog that I asked of her. Her communication throughout the time she stayed was impeccable. She took lots of pictures. I almost didn’t make it home her last day bcuz of flight issues and she was immediately willing to watch another day on the spot. What more could one ask for. She left my home exactly as I would. She’s also just a caring and lovely person too!!

Veronica is a wonderful person I couldn’t have asked for a better in home pet sitter. Very communicative from the start, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared and treated both our dog and kitty with so much love and attention. We really appreciated the updates and could tell our pets were comfortable and happy with her. Veronica went above and beyond also taking good care of our home. She is very trustworthy, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly wonderful pet sitter!

Kelly did an amazing job taking care of our dog while we were away, she stayed at our house and took good care of everything. She communicated well and gave updates daily along with pictures. We definitely recommend Kelly if you need someone to look after your pup!

So many wonderful things to say about Grace! She took care of our 6 year-old standard poodle (Atlas) for a week, at our home. She was a great houseguest, an intuitive and empathic care giver, a fabulous communicator. We highly recommend her and will book her every chance we get.

Rachel stayed at our home while we were traveling. She cared for our lively mini-Australian Shepherd and tended to a few additional tasks at the house. Everything was in great shape when we returned, and our dog was delightfully calm. I took that as a four-paws up from our dog!

Matthew was perfect! I had to travel for a work trip leaving early and coming home late. My pup has an injury and needed some extra TLC and someone who would be around most of the day. Matthew was reliable, punctual, communicative, and my dog was excited to see him and looked very happy and comfortable during the stay. I would definitely book him again for my next trip.
