“Did a great job managing our house full of animals while we were away for two weeks. We came home to happy healthy animals, and I could tell they'd been well-cared for!”
“As usual, a smooth transaction/stay! We absolutely love Ashley. She is very flexible, punctual and most importantly - clean (we only do home stays). Our pup is always happy to see Ashley and enjoys her company very much.”
“10 stars needed! ❤️ left Keisha w/ a huge task!! She went above and beyond from every aspect ~ so accommodating… most importantly~ she took great care of the high maintenance rugrats and notably after being gone for 4 days ~ I know the dog didn’t leave the place spotless 😉 I’m a 1st timer on this app so I was anxious prior to our initial meet and great, having a stranger in your house and trusting them with your little loves was new for me.. No worries were needed… it couldn’t have been a more perfect experience!! ❤️”
“Melissa is genuinely amazing. From the meet and greet to the moment we returned home, I’m so grateful and impressed by her. She kept our boys active and happy (and handled our big puppy so well!) Melissa communicated so well, and we returned to the house just as we left it. Highly recommend Melissa. She really cares about the dogs and making you feel comfortable while you’re away.”
“They were amazing with Bodhi - on our return he seemed so happy and well cared for. They also left the house immaculate. We were just very pleased with their care of Bodhi and our house. They are great and we very much appreciate their care.”
“Adrienne was a wonderful sitter for my 3 miniature schnauzer pups! They absolutely loved her attentiveness and affinity for snuggles. She followed my instructions and was very detailed oriented and even combed their fur and brushed their teeth. We all agree that we will definitely book Adrienne again!”
“I loved Alyssa's help taking care of my dog Tango. She did everything I asked her to do. She was very responsible and my dog Tango loved her. During my trip, she sent me photos of Tango's walks with her in the park. 100% recommended.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful! Our pups were well loved and safe. She was trustworthy and went above and beyond to make sure the house was left in excellent condition. We look forward to having her back.”
About: I LOVE DOGS. Their lives are short, and I want to help them enjoy those years with comfort, care, and fun. I have had a dog companion in my life since I was five years old. I especially enjoy caring for high-energy dogs who need regular exercise—I’m always up for long walks, playtime, or outdoor adventures. I also have experience with senior dogs, and I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and keeping routines consistent. I’ve successfully trained dogs to potty outside, sit on command, and even walk off-leash. Whether your pup is young and active or older and needs a slower pace, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away. I function better with a dog at my side. Dogs help me start my day with purpose—there’s nothing like a good morning walk to get us both moving and ready for breakfast and whatever the day brings. I love building routines that keep dogs active, happy, and well cared for. I work remotely, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to be fully present for pet care throughout the day. With cats, I understand how much they value consistency. I’m attentive to their morning and evening routines—feeding, cleaning the litter box, and giving them space or affection depending on their mood. I also make time for play and interaction throughout the day, based on each cat’s personality. Communication is everything. I try to make sure I understand each animal's boundaries and needs before providing care, this includes list of allergies and medications.
“Jamila did a wonderful job watching my 5 month spunky puppy while I needed to go into work. She provided updates and showed much interest in understanding her needs and routines. Would book again with no hesitations. Thanks!”
“Absolutely wonderful!!! Claire is very reliable, communicative and sends the best photos. Most importantly, Charlie adores her and she adores him right back!!! I am so happy and feel extremely confident leaving him in her care. Will book her again without hesitation!🩷”
“Amanda was great to work with! She was prompt to respond and set up a meet and greet. She had a questionnaire for me to fill out covering all bases about Theo’s care and house sitting which I thought was really helpful! Theo seemed to like her a lot and was quite relaxed when I returned from my trip. I got daily updates with pictures. Would definitely like to work with her again :)”
“Could not recommend more! Was amazing with my dog and when I got stuck and had to stay an extra day got me out of a tight spot by continuing to look after my dog! I would recommend to anyone and will be using again!”
“Carrianne did a wonderful job caring for my dog when I went out of town for a weekend. Penny takes some time to warm up to people and Carrianne was very patient and understanding throughout that process. She followed the care instructions I left and sent daily updates with important information (e.g., walks, eating habits, general behavior) with photos. She also stayed overnight in my apartment and left everything really tidy. I couldn't be happier with the care Penny received and will definitely rebook for future travel plans!”
“Tishara was a wonderful and caring pet sitter. She stayed at our home and ensured our pups were loved on while we were gone. She was quick to communicate with us when needed and shared great photos. One of our dogs requires medicine 2x daily so Tishara made sure she understood how to administer it as well as any emergency contacts she might need while we’re gone. It is so reassuring to know someone is looking after your pets with that much care and concern.”
“Stephen and Wipawee watched my dog and my sister’s dog at my house while we went away on a family vacation. The dogs were well cared for, had plenty of attention and were taken great care of! Couldn’t have asked for better sitters.”
“Marilia did a great job staying with our pup and walking , feeding, playing and just being there for him. She spent 3 nights and fleas very responsive and respectful of our home . Was thankful she was available, Will hire again .”

Sonia E.
“Sonia is a highly passionate caretaker for animals. She has been helping me take care of my cats for years, in New York, New Jersey and now Wisconsin. She once transported my oldest cat, Stormy, a 10 year old female, from North Carolina to Wisconsin by plane. It was a major move and journey that could have been traumatizing for my cat, but Sonia successfully kept her calm the entire plane ride and helped her transition into a new home. More recently she has also been taking care of my new cat, Ori Oshun, a young kitten. Sonia is very attentive to my cats' needs; she listens to them when they are hungry and feeds them just enough that they need for the time of day. She also makes sure to do play time with my cats, to give them some exercise and so they can have some fun. She makes sure to calm Stormy when she starts fighting with the kitten, and makes sure both cats feel safe around each other. Sonia has even started taking Ori Oshun on short walks in the woods with a backpack carrier, something my kitten really enjoys. I would highly recommend Sonia to any other pet owner as a competent and responsible caretaker who goes the extra step.”

Garden Homes pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time having a house sitter/Rover care giver, and Jackie really helped put our minds at ease! She was lovely keeping our dogs comfortable and calm during the very loud local air show while we were away. Our pup Frankie had a tummy issue and bad accident in her crate, and Jackie gave her a bath and cleaned everything up amazingly. We are very grateful for all her work!
Davina did a great job house sitting and watching an overly protective and separation anxiety ridden 10 yo dog and cat. She was great to work with and visited multiple times to allow the pets to get used to her prior to our departure. Davina sent daily updates and pictures that made our vacation more enjoyable to know the fur babies were taken care of and safe. I will definitely request her in the future.
Cindy is the best. She helped take care of my cats before they passed and takes care of my senior dog like she is her own dog. Lots of love and attention. I have had Cindy stay at my house multiple times,she goes above and beyond what I would expect. I wish I could clone her so she would always be available for just me, lol
This is our first time using Rover and I am so glad that Lily was the one to watch Rosie. She did a great job keeping us updated, sending pictures and it looks like she and Rosie had a blast. She even did a little training for us. I highly recommend Lily and we will definitely use her again in the future.
My pups were SO well taken care of. Even though Joanne knew I was busy on my wedding day while she was taking care of my dogs, she still made sure to send me updates throughout the night and it made me feel so much more at ease. I'll definitely be booking with them any time I go out of town!!
This was our first time with Talor and we look forward to working with her again. We needed someone to do a few meet and greets with our dogs and live at our home for 10 days. Talor got along with our dogs very well from the first meeting and navigates our smaller dog beautifully as she can be a problem. Our oldest dog developed a UTI while we were gone and Talor contacted us immediately when she first saw symptoms. She worked with me long distance to get him to the Vet and started on meds. Our home was in great condition when we got home and our dogs barely knew we were gone. We look forward to working with her again.
