“Taelor was amazing! I could have not asked for a better pet sitter for my two pups! She made sure to send me a text at every visit and sent at least 4-5 pics each time. She also was kind enough to bring in some packages that had been delivered while I was gone. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”

“Elizabeth was the best thing that happened for us as we were cancelled last minute by another sitter. She was definitely an upgrade. She went WAY above and beyond for our boy Samson. She took great care of him and loved him like family. He even got a couple baths while we were gone. She responded quickly to our numerous text messages and sent many pictures over our 10 day trip. Our house was tidy when we returned and we even had some home baked cookies on the counter. We will definitely use her to watch Samson in the future.”

“Kelly is wonderful! Loves animals and its easy to see! Makes leaving our fur babies a lil easier knowing they are in such loving and capable hands. Kelly goes the extra mile while looking after the house with getting mail. I think she even straightened up the couch pillows and picked up all the excessive dog toys lying around! 100% our go to pet sitter!”


“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.”

“Easiest part of our week long vacation. I hardly had to think of our pets while we were gone. Came home to happy, healthy pets and a clean house. Couldn't ask for more.”
“Lisa is the dog whisperer. She is so caring for your pet and actively involved with your dog. Or any pet she will watch for you! Absolutely recommend Lisa for all your needs!!”

“This is my first time using Rover and Amber; I will never put my dog in any boarding/pet hotel/ doggy daycare again!! Amber did such a wonderful job with Milo, he got personal attention, long walks and kept his schedule all in his own home. When we boarded him, it would take a couple of days just to get “Milo” back to his normal self, but when we got back today he was his normal self thanks to Amber’s excellent care. Amber also took great care of our home while we were away, keeping everything neat and clean, including laundering the bath towels and bedding used while staying here. Any apprehension we initially had using Rover for the first time has been put to rest, and Amber is a great choice to care for your pet and your home!!”

About: I Have taken care of pets all my life. My family and friends have always been surrounded by their presence. I enjoy taking care of them and giving them all the love that they deserve. I know all pets have different personalities, some are more playful, some are more peaceful. Some trust more than others. Whatever the case is, I am patient to get to know them and understand their needs. I am very blessed to have my wife next to me always loving the pets that surround us. We have pet sitter many times together and is just a bunch of love around. We love that! It makes us more happy than we already are! One day even our future babies will enjoy that with us too! I am currently only attending college online so I have plenty of availability. I have time throughout the week and sometimes the weekends too. I will always try to work it out. Plus my wife is always there for me, so she can always take the times that I cannot. I do not have any pets so if I was to receive pets in my home they do not have to worry about other pets. That way they are more comfortable!
“Kat was super sweet and considerate of my two dogs and my home, and she communicated updates of the dogs while I was away for peace of mind. Will be booking her again when she’s available!”

“Daisy did a terrific job with our 2 girls. She gave them so much attention. She sent updates and pictures everyday. She even called when she noticed Pepper was having problems with her ears. And took her to the Vet for us. We highly recommend Darsy. We will definitely use her again. If we could we would give her 10 stars!”


“Jacob was an excellent sitter. He was extremely responsive to all communication, came over for a meet and greet, had great rates, sent pictures throughout the week, and overall just took great care of our dogs. Our house was almost cleaner than we left it and couldn’t have asked for more. Will use again!”


“Gislene did an outstanding job watching my fur baby, Flipper. I was sent pictures of Flipper each day, along with progress updates. I will definitely hire Gislene again to watch Flipper when I am away.”

“Pets are family and this was just the second time I left my fur babies home with a sitter - for an entire week this time. Andrea was amazing and took wonderful care of my pups and cats! Communication was on point. Knowing I was missing them, Andrea took the time to send me pictures while we were gone. I was able to relax and enjoy a vacation with my family without worrying because I knew my pups were in good hands. If you're looking for a sitter for your fur babies, I highly recommend Andrea!”

“Jo is the best! Our dogs love her, and she treats them like her own. She plays with them a ton and even brought over a puzzle toy for them to try. We never have to worry when she’s watching our pups.”

About: I have had pets and taken care of animals my entire life. I am loving and caring and your beloved pets will be very well taken care of and loved in my care I only work 2 days a week at my little part time job, so my availability is very flexible and open. I am available for drop ins,walks and full time overnights. The safety and care is my utmost priority. I am quick to answer questions, texts and phone calls. I will also send pictures and videos :)
About: I’ve been dog-sitting and house sitting-sitting since early 2022. I form genuine connections with the pups in my care, and I love being there when their owners can‘t. I have a flexible schedule, working from home and a few days a week at a local running store. My hours are pretty amenable to taking care of a pet. I tailor my pet care to the client‘s needs. If the care period is long enough or if the client prefers, I stay at their home to provide consistent companionship and care while their owner is away. Otherwise, I make scheduled visits to ensure pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention. My priority is making sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away.
“Erin was AMAZING with our dogs. Our dogs have a lot of high anxiety and require special attention and she did great with them! We felt so relaxed being away from them. Always sent photos and informed us when things happened. Will definitely asking her to watch the dogs again.”

My family and I haven't been away in a long time, largely because it's always hard to find just the right person to look after our 2 adult dogs. We found Jessica on Rover and, after an initial meet and greet, we knew she was just the right fit for our lovable Lab and anxious German Shepherd. She sent us updates and pics each day we were gone and just made it so much easier for us to be away from our fur babies. Highly recommend Jessica!

Andrea took care of my 2 elderly dogs the way I would! She is very organized, listens, and writes down everything you say about their needs. 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 ❤️🐶🐶❤️
