Bethany was great! This is my first time on rover and she was it seamless. We did a meet and greet prior to the actual booking which made me feel so much better. Sent updates and pictures of our pups the whole time. Will definitely book an overnight with Bethany again!

Gislene was wonderful. She did an extended initial meet and greet with Bubba so he felt comfortable. When I ended up coming home a day later she extended her stay. Bubba and Gracie loved her!

Alexis was perfect. She navigated a nervous and anxious dog at the start, and he’s as happy as ever when I came home. I know he had fun and Alexis’ updates were perfect. Great communication and flexibility. Definitely recommend and will be using her again. Very very happy.

Valerie was awesome. The day we were supposed to have our meet and greet I had to take Gidget to the vet because she was not eating. The vet wanted to keep her a few hours which pushed back out appointment time. Valerie was very understanding and flexible. Valerie was awesome with each of our dogs who have very different personalities. She was able to give Gidget the medication the vet has prescribed. Valerie contacted me to see if she could try something to help Gidget to eat. She went over and beyond to take care of our girls. Valerie contacted me daily to let me know how each of the girls were doing. Valerie was also very respectful of our home. I am very grateful for her!

My husband and I went to Paris for a week and looked for some help with our two dogs, one 11 with back leg issues and a 2 year old pup full of energy. We matched with Taelor and set up time to meet her and Nilla (beautiful retriever). She arrived on time and everyone hit it off from the get go. Taelor moved in the day we left and stayed with our dogs for the full week looking after our dogs and sitting our home which was a huge relief for us. From day one Taelor communicated with us and sent photos of walks, play time, and some meal time updates. It was such a boost for us 5000 miles away to know our dogs were being treated with such love. By the mid point of the trip we were sharing some of Paris with Taelor as she shared photos from home. I cannot stress enough how incredibly communicative she was everyday. We got home to a pair of dogs super happy to see us but well looked after. The dishes and bedding were all washed (not requested) and the house was in perfect shape. We have already booked Taelor for a future trip and I cannot recommend her more strongly. Her rates are more than fair for the service she provides. It is like having a family member look after your pets. She is quite frankly the best. Thanks Taelor

Amber showed up early and seemed to care / listen to our directions and concerns. She sent photo updates and took the dogs on a long walk, which they enjoyed! We appreciated her responsible nature and seemed genuinely kind to the dogs. We recommend her to everyone looking for a reliable person.

Karycelis was able to help me on very short notice with in-home sitting. She stayed in consistent contact, asked questions when needed, and gave me complete peace of mind that my dog was well taken care of while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.

About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I’m available anytime after dropping my son off to school @8:30am. Or before/after picking him up from aftercare, by 5:30pm. I box on weekdays but can go around what ever is needed. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.

Jessica is an absolute dream of a human!!! I left my two pups with her for 5 nights while I was in Miami on vacation. Not only did she need to take care of my 16.5 year old dachshund, but she had to give last minute medications that were prescribed after she was already booked. She handled the new routine so amazingly which is exactly what I needed while I was away. She checked in with daily updates and sent me photos and videos regularly. My dogs were so well taken care of, but so was my home! Everything looked great when I came back and she even went ABOVE and beyond by stripping the bed and starting the laundry for me. She was kind, understanding, and always within reach when I needed to check in. I can't recommend her enough, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica!

She shared updates and pictures several times a day and took excellent care of not only our furry gang but our house as well. It was neat as a pin upon our return and we were greeted by happy, smiling pups. We are so grateful we found Margaret!

About: I've owned dogs my whole life and have become skilled in caring for pets. I currently have a Golden Retriever named Charlie and would love to have doggy friends to visit! I have cared for many types of dogs during my life and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperments. I work everyday with nine hour work days (7am to 4pm) Monday through Thursday, with an eight hour day (7am to 3pm) on every other Friday giving me a free day every other week. I make time every morning and evening to take our dog Charlie on a walk. I make sure they get daily exercise letting them go for walks and I also have a small fenced in backyard. When I am home I will provide them with playtime l as well. I will provide scheduled feedings or space for free feeding dogs as well.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have always loved animals and even made a career out of it. I am a wildlife biologist. I have a sweet girl named Bell at home who is lovable and playful. I will treat your furbabies with the same kind of love I treat my own and guarantee this treatment for any animal I encounter. I get off of work at 3 pm M-F and right after work I always take my own fur baby to the dog park for at least an hour. I live in a house with 4 furbabies that all have their own special needs. In a clients home, I will treat their home like fine china and their pets like my own ,with lots of care and love.

About: Reliable and caring pet sitter with strong attention to detail, excellent communication, and a passion for keeping pets safe, happy, and well-cared for. With years of experience. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and maintain a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs. This allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. In my home, I provide a safe, spacious, and welcoming environment. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it with multiple daily walks and trips to the dog park twice a day for exercise and socialization. I also have two children and a friendly dog, so your pet will have plenty of companionship and feel right at home. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care—so they stay comfortable in their familiar environment.

Taylor was the absolute best sitter we’ve used on Rover! It was our first time doing “in-house sitting”, so we naturally were a little nervous. There was absolutely no need to be though because she kept us updated every single day and took great care of everyone! Highly recommend and I will always use Taylor if she’s available.

Jessica is amazing! Trusting someone is hard enough and trusting them with your fur babies is even harder. Jessica understands this and is excellent at communicating, touching base, and sending proof of life photos all the time! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect fit for my puppy and two kitty cats! If I could give her more than five stars I would! Two thumbs up!

She asks questions for clarification and immediately responds to any concerns you have. She is punctual, caring, and i have never met a sitter who communicates so well with both messages and pictures. She’s incredible and definitely a star sitter ❤️🐶🐶❤️
