“Codi does a great job with our two cats and two dogs. She went above and beyond with our new kitten. My pets are always happy to see Codi when she arrives and doesn’t want her to leave when we return. She sends us lots of photo updates during her stay.”
“Tabutha was wonderful with my animals and my home while I was gone. I came back to happy relaxed dogs and alpacas and a clean, tidy house. My foster dog has very high anxiety and she bonded with Tabutha in just a day or so. I will definitely ask Tabutha to house sit for me again.”
“Susan was awesome. A very kind and communicative sitter for our three dogs who did everything we asked! She really put our minds at ease about leaving our dogs for a week. Couldn’t recommend more!”
“I was only gone for two nights, but I could tell Emmanuelle loved my fur babies like they were her own. I got lots of pictures and text updates, and she was always responsive when I reached out. I will absolutely book with her again!”
“Mariah stayed at our home with our 4 dogs for 4 days and nights. She is fantastic with our dogs. They all love her and received great care. Mariah sent photos and videos and let us know how they were doing daily. This was our first time using ROVER and we will be using Mariah and ROVER in the future.”
“Penny was great! Easy to communicate and very low stress. She watched out dog and 2 cats while we were away for the weekend. She’s local and very responsive. I’m sure that we will be using her again!”
“Michael was fantastic!! We were on vacation for about ten days and I feel like we never had to worry the whole time and could enjoy our time away. Michael provided ample exercise and individual attention to our energetic and highly anxious pup and also gave our cat tons of playtime and cuddles. Our place was spotless when we came home! Would 100% recommend.”
“Allison is amazing! She is so attentive to our dog’s energy and quirks and is so thoughtful about caring for her. She pays a lot of attention to our instructions and makes sure our girl is happy and comfy the whole time. She is extremely communicative and sends a lot of photos and updates. She also takes great care of the space. Absolutely would feel great having her take care of our pup any time!”
About: I grew up in a home with dogs, and have cared for my own as well as others. I have experience with large breeds such as Great Pyrenees and German Shepherd, as well as experience with small Chihuahua mixes, high energy herding dogs, and many others in between. I also have significant experience with farm animals (horses, chickens). My work is done entirely remote and is very flexible, so I am able to accommodate many schedules ranging from mid day into the evening. I take safety and trust seriously when caring for someone else’s pet. I always follow instructions carefully, and treat every visit with the same care I expect for my own pets.
“Sarah was WONDERFUL! She was communicative, respectful of all house rules, and my dogs were really well cared for. She even went above and beyond with clean up before we returned. We will absolutely use Sarah in the future.”
“Mary Elizabeth was amazing with our babies! She sent pictures, communicated well & kept us updated, and took such great care of our animals! We’re so thankful to have had them in such great hands!! Thank you!!”
“Cosimo our 4 pound totally grumpy old Yorkshire terrier loved his time with Katherine. She was just a perfect fit for us. She was kind to send us pictures of him while we went out. Made the whole experience completely comfortable and less stressful for me. Left our home in ship shape condition.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and horses for over the past 5 years feeding, grooming, exercising, bathing and more! I have experience with older animals and pets in need of medications. I am currently work on a farm a few hours every day and have plenty of time to watch, care, walk and play with pups. I live on a large farm like property with fenced areas to keep pups contained while still having plenty of space for pups to burn off energy.
About: My name is Kat, and with my husband, Sean, we have 20 years of experience pet sitting. We do boarding, check-ins, walking, and more! We would love to take care of your pets! We have experience taking care of dogs and cats of all ages. We work remotely Monday-Friday with flexibility, so there will always be someone in our home or yours!

“Alyssa stayed with my needy little poodle mix and also my son’s active golden retriever for a long weekend. Both dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we came on and the house was clean and tidy. I would totally have her come again!”
Fernwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Michael watched our young puppy in our home for a few days and was wonderful! He was very communicative, extremely flexible, and was responsive to our active pup’s needs. She’s easily excitable (especially with new people and playtime) and he clearly had previous puppy experience and knew exactly what to do. I would book Michael again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and experienced pet sitter.
Karina stayed in home with our two dogs & reptiles for a week. She sent updates and cute photos of each pet. Super great at communication and treated our pets as her own. So happy we could trust our home and fur (plus scaley) pet babies with her without worry.
Penny was wonderful and watched our, my sister's, and my parent's dogs all day the day of my wedding! She was truly a life-saver and came over even though she wasn't feeling well that morning because she didn't want to leave us high and dry on that day. Definitely book with her!!
Sarah did a 10/10 j9b taking care of our two dogs and cat. She treated them like family and her communication, animal love, and attention to taking care of our home was top notch. Will be using hiring her whenever we can. She has our complete trust. THANK YOU SARAH! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Katie was very helpful with my puppy who was recovering from spay surgery and experiencing some complications. She was able to administer medication and finally get her to eat! My puppy is pretty picky when when it comes eating. I felt very comfortable having Katie sit with my puppy! Thank you Katie!
Once again Emma was a fantastic dog sitter for the weekend. She is always so accommodating and leaves the place seemingly untouched! We are very comfortable with her watching our precious dog, and sleep soundly knowing that she is more than well taken care of in Emma’s care!
