“Trinity was on time, communicated well, and took very good care of our babies. You could not even tell that she stayed in our home overnight. We will definitely be using Trinity for our pet sitting needs in the future.”
“Abbey did a great job with my two dogs when I went on an overnight trip. She had great communication and sent me some cute pictures of them. I don’t often leave them with someone they don’t know, but Abbey was splendid and I would definitely book her again!”
“Fabulous experience! Jessica was absolutely great. This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous, but Jessica was great with my dogs. I was in a pinch and she took this job last minute. I will definitely be requesting her for future dog care.”
“Kelsey did a great job, gave me daily feedback and photos of my pup. My house was so clean when I got home and the bed linens were in the washer. Who could ask for more!! I will definitely have Kelsey back!”
“Michaela did an amazing dog with our dog and cat. Our cat was just getting over a sickness and our dog was adopted one week before she came to sit for us. She eased this anxious pet parents mind and sent me updates daily on our sweet boys. We will definitely be booking again in the future ☺️”
“I just hired Zoe for the first time and she did an awesome job. I have a large Bernese Mountain dog and three cats, a handful. Zoe kept everyone happy while I was on my work trip. My dog used to be pretty stressed when I would return from trips, but with Zoe she was calm and happy when I got back. I appreciate Zoe for providing so much more than food and basic care for my babies, and highly recommend her.”
“My cat, Foster, is very needy and any little thing upsets him so I decided to schedule a house sitter rather than drop-in visits. Malika was great, sending pictures and making sure both Foster and I were okay. :-) I will be sure to reach out to her again when I travel!”
“Kelly was the perfect choice for housesitting my pets. She had her hands full and graciously attended to each pet and their certain needs. My oldest pup had a little separation depression and wasn’t eating a lot so she made her some chicken and hand fed her some nuggets and gave her extra assurance to make her feel okay! I would highly recommend this sitter! She took great care of my pets and my house!”
“Stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 2 dogs. Mary kept us updated and informed with lots of photos throughout the week. She was able to get to our place early upon leaving and stayed until our return. This was our first experience using Rover, and seemed to work great!”
“This was THE BEST dog sitting experience we have ever had! You can tell she genuinely loves animals and had joy hanging out with our pup. We were in a last minute pinch when our sitter cancelled and she blew us away! She is our new “go-to” dog sitter!!! We got many pictures and texts. Our hearts were so happy while we were on vacation knowing she was taking such good care of our pup. Don’t hesitate in booking her!”
“Cathy is fantastic!!! We have booked her three times to take care of our labs for overnights. We recently added a 3rd lab to the mix and Cathy came to do a meet and greet. She is very patient and responsive. She is our “go to” Rover pet sitter!!!! We will most definitely book her again!”
“Sofia was exceptional! She really went over and beyond and it’s so obvious she loves animals! Jagger was definitely in great hands and we cannot thank you enough for helping us take care of our dog while we were gone! We will use her again and recommend her services!”
“She really cared about Arlo and did a good job caring for him. Took action when he got sick and took him to the emergency room for me. Prompt responses when I reached out to me. Apologetic for any mishaps. Clear communication.”
About: I have worked in veterinary services for 5 years. I have a wide variety of veterinary medicine experience. I graduated Vet Tech school in 2020. I will care for your pets like they are my own. I work Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. I can do drop in visits before work at 7 am. I have my lunch break from 12pm-1pm, depending on location I can do a dog walk or a drop in visit during that time. I can also do drop in or dog walks after work during the time of 5pm-8pm. On the weekends I am free anytime, and can do home stays. I do overnight home visits only on the weekends, but do not have pets stay in my home. I can feed/water, clean litterboxes, and walk pets. I can also stay with the pets for a negotiable amount of hours to play/socialize with them. And any other services if agreed upon.
About: I have two large dogs of my own that are special needs and high maintenance. I have 5+ years of experience taking care of them and making sure their needs are met. I have also taken care of high maintenance cats. My pet care experience mostly consists of dogs and cats that are old, ill, high anxiety, or poorly behaved. Because of this I guarantee that I can handle any requests you may have! I work at a coffee shop part time. I work mornings 8-1 on Fridays and Saturdays. I work 12-6 on Mondays. I can take care of pets basically any time other than these hours! I provide pets with food, water, love, and care. I clean up after them and give them lots of attention. I give them pets when wanted and anything else they need.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old—over 13 years now! Growing up with two Yorkie-Bichon mixes and having a grandfather who’s a veterinarian, I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. I’ve dogsat for family, friends, and neighbors, caring for everything from tiny Malteses to large black Labs. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. In addition to pet care, I’ve babysat and housesat for years, so I’m highly responsible and dependable. I currently work a corporate job, but I’m passionate about animals and excited to use pet sitting as a way to stay connected to what I love most—caring for pets with warmth and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work remotely half the week, which allows me to be home with pets for most of the day. On in-office days, I use my lunch break to check in and give them attention. My weekends are completely free, so I can dedicate even more time to caring for and playing with your pets. Whether in my home or a client’s, I create a calm, loving, and safe environment for pets. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walking, and any medications or routines. I’m respectful of the pet’s comfort and needs, and always treat them like family. Their well-being is my top priority, and I make sure they feel secure, loved, and cared for every step of the way.
“So glad to have found Gilda to housesit and take care of my 2 older and somewhat high maintenance dogs while I was away on vacation. She was very caring, conscientious, thoughtful, kind, and generous with her time. She gave medication for my oldest dog and was very patient with getting my picky eaters to eat their food. I highly recommend Gilda for pet and house sitting. She is wonderful!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our furr babies!! Thank you for being so trust worthy and communicative. I knew they were in good hands and was able to relax while out of town. Also, thank you for taking care of the house. Will book again!”

Sure! Here’s a polished review you can use for Isabella: ⸻ We had a wonderful experience with Isabella caring for our golden retriever. She truly has a passion for animals and took the time to make our dog feel relaxed and comfortable. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated and gave our family peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciate the care and attention she gave, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after our dog again!
Savannah was great! She spent a week at our house while we were away and took good care of our dog and cat. We felt comfortable during our trip because we knew they were in good hands. We chose Savannah because of her great reviews and I’m happy to say that the reviews are accurate! We will definitely book with her again ☺️
Nicholas was a house sitter and pet caregiver in my home for 8 days over Christmas while we visited my daughter in California. His care was between December 19 and December 27. Nicholas maintained communication both before and after our vacation. We have two pets: a little dog named Destiny and a very timid cat named Sadie. Nicholas was very competent caring for Destiny. She is an older dog with complicated medications given several times each day, taken orally, plus eye drops. She also needs to be walked on a leash 4-5 times daily. Nicholas sent us regular photos and I felt comfortable and reassured that Destiny was getting along well. Nicholas told us he is a dog person, but was willing to care for our cat as well. Sadie is extremely timid and normally spends much of the day in our basement. Nicholas had one difficult experience with Sadie. She was in my office when Nicholas walked in. Destiny usually followed him around the house, so Sadie probably saw Nicholas and Destiny coming through the door, the only escape route from the room. Evidently Sadie felt trapped and freaked out. She ran around the room knocking off antique clocks I keep on the window sill breaking two clock faces. My cleaning woman texted me what happened immediately. Nicholas told me he had planned to tell me after Christmas. He measured the glass sizes and wanted to replace the glass himself. Rover told us I needed to make a claim instead. I don’t believe Nicholas did anything to upset or provoke Sadie. Prior to this incident, she was doing as well as can be expected interacting with Nicholas. She is basically a one person cat and doesn’t get close to anyone else. I don’t feel the situation was caused maliciously or negligently. It just happened due to the nature of our cat and perhaps was aggravated by Destiny’s presence and Nicholas’ energetic and enthusiastic personality. I highly recommend Nicholas as a house sitter and dog caregiver. When we arrived home near midnight the house was lit and welcoming, making a good impression on me. Everything was in excellent condition, which met my meticulous standards. He had started laundry of the towels and sheets he used but they were not dry. Sadie came out and stayed next to my husband for several days. Destiny was happy and quickly settled into her normal routine.
