Jason was really sweet with my dog. She isn't the easiest dog and he was able to make her comfortable. He also took her on walks and showed up when he said he would. I appreciated the photo updates as well. Will definitely rebook with him!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than David! From the moment he met our dogs, they bonded with him instantly and were genuinely excited to see him each day while we were away. David’s communication was outstanding—he kept us consistently updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear he genuinely cared for our dogs and made sure they felt loved and comfortable in our absence. He also treated our home with great respect and care, as if it were his own. We highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and professional sitter. We will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!

Merritt stepped in last minute to watch Cricket and took such good care of her! They gave Cricket her meds and checked her water and litter daily while giving her lots of love and snugs. Merritt’s reports on Cricket were incredibly thorough which set our minds at ease. Will use Merritt again for any trip we take, for sure!

About: I have owned dogs my entire life (5 to be exact!) and currently have a 2 year old Biewer Terrier who is gentle and fun-loving. My husband and I absolutely love dogs and understand that pets truly are family members and deserve the best care. If you're looking for trustworthy, loving sitters, you have come to the right place! We look forward to taking care of your pup while you are away! I work from home and would love to look after well-behaved dogs of all ages! I can’t wait to spend time with your sweet pup! We live in a house with a big fenced yard, which is perfect for playtime. Our pup loves meeting new dogs but tends to be afraid of high-energy dogs.

About: I’ve had my dog for 10 years now. I was with her when she had her puppies and helped take care of them as well. I have also fostered 3 dogs which has been such a rewarding experience. I am working part time right now so have half of my days open. On weekends I’m more busy but weekdays I’m always finding things to do when I’m off work. I don’s have a fenced in yard at my home but I know a few dog parks in my area for your pet to run around and have fun in. As well as many paths to take them for walks.

About: Hi! I'm Jenna. I'm reliable, attentive, and I genuinely treat every dog like my own. I've spent a lot of time around dogs with different personalities, from high-energy ones that need a lot of movement to more sensitive or anxious dogs that need a calmer approach. I pay attention to body language and try to make sure they feel comfortable and safe, especially in new situations. I'm pretty active and love being outside, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and attention. I'm also consistent and detail-oriented, so l'll follow your routine and instructions closely. I'll always send updates with photos so you know how things are going. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some playtime, or just someone calm and reliable, l've got it covered. I work part-time so I am flexible with my availability. I control my own schedule and usually can accommodate last minute pet needs. I can also do regular, repeat schedules. I focus on keeping dogs calm, safe, and comfortable by paying close attention to their behavior and energy. I follow your routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions you have. I’m confident handling strong or high-energy dogs and make sure walks are controlled and structured. I’m also respectful of your home and will always keep things clean and secure. You’ll get updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing.

About: I have a unique experince with many years caring for my past dog, guinea pig, and current cat and betta. I love every species and am well informed in all areas. I monitored and medicated my guinea pig around the clock when she was sick and my cat came to me as a kitten with a bot fly and brain and eye infection at three months old. I put endless hours of care into him and he is now a healthy three year old. I love animals and will never show up uneducated. I work a 9-5 so I would have to work around that! I would be the ideal help for someone with morning or night shift. I will tailor care to each animals needs. I am currently rehabbing a betta while caring for my 3 year old cat and I understand each animal is different. I will educate myself on the breed and listen to you about how to best care for your pet.

Cara was awesome with coming over to first meet my dogs and making sure they were a good fit, especially since I have a dog with special needs. Both of my dogs loved her! She is very friendly, quick to respond and answered all of my questions. I got lots of pictures after their first check-in which I appreciate. I had happy dogs when I got home and it was very nice not having to worry about them while I wasn't home. I will definitely book with Cara again!

Jessica has been great with our dogs. We had a few special instructions and she took care of everything we needed. Our dogs get let out twice a week by her, and sometimes she stays longer than we asked. She’s very good at updating our Rover account with all of the details and photos from each visit!

Suzanne did a wonderful job with our fur babies. Our girl cat can be cranky or a sweetheart and Suzanne knew how to bring the sweetheart out of her. She sent delightful photos of Peanut rubbing all up and down her leg in greeting and running around the house excitedly playing or having zoomies. We knew our cat was in good hands with her from the very beginning - just a vibe - but she proved to be responsible, attentive, and definitely went the extra mile to make sure we knew Peanut was being loved, food and maintenance was being taken care of, and that our other pets were also safe.

First time user of Rover. I went out of the country for two weeks and my normal dog sitter fell thru last minute. I went and used Rover after many people recommending. I messaged a few sitters and sally was the first to respond. I cant begin to express how happy I was with her services and providing a great experience for my dog and cat. She was very transparent, provided multiple updates and was very timely with all her visits during the two weeks I was gone. I booked her for 3x a day for two weeks and showed up with them all on time. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again for sure!
