“I am amazed by how well Ruth took care of my cat. She was always communicating with tons of pictures. There was not one moment throughout my trip away from home that I had any concern because of how well Ruth took care of my fur baby. I would recommend her 10000%.”
“Clover watched my two dogs while I was away for four days. I felt so much relief knowing my boys were well taken care of. Clover engaged my dogs in lots of play time, activities and snuggles. I could not be happier with the quality of care Clover delivered!”
“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”
“Jeweliana and Riley were amazing. We got updates, thoughtful questions and check ins on arrival time back home to ensure the pets were not left alone for too long. They took great care of our house and I felt so much peace of mind having them at my home while I was away.”
“Illeana was great. She house sat and took good care of my babies while I was away on a trip. She was very respectful of my home, gave me tons of updates and my dogs loved her. I highly recommend her:)”
“Kira was amazing! She communicated well with me about all the details and loved on our sweet girl while we were away. I highly recommend using Kira for your pet sitting needs!”
“Adriana was amazing with our 4 babies. Communication was top notch and we received so many photos. She had no problems with giving our old lady cat her medicine and the house was just like we left it. Very professional and so kind. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Victoria was awesome. She sent updates and photos of our furry little loved ones. She walked our dog way more than we normally do! Very easy process. We feel very comfortable with her, watching our animals again and will definitely be using her in the future.”
“This was our first house sitting with Rover and Nathan. Nathan always responded quickly in the app. He sent pictures while we were away. He played with Sadie and took good care of our property too. Will definitely use Nathan again. Sadie was very relaxed and happy when we returned home!”
“I really appreciate Alexis‘s patience and grace, while dealing with my energetic and rambunctious puppy. I was very anxious about leaving her as this was my first time away from her since I got her in November. Alexis was gracious and communicated with me often. I’d definitely use her again if she will have us. 😂”
About: I have my own doggies, they are both 3! I’m used too picking up the pet care when parents leave to go out of town and just take stress off their shoulders! Friends and family, cats and dog i’ve always been the one they call. I’m used to very strategic routines with my baby’s so i’m willing to do the same for yours. Doing the best in every way to make my stay with them as comfortable as possible! I currently work 5 days a week 8-2pm and i’m looking too pick up something i’m actually interested in, We all know how a high school job can last after high school when it wasn’t planned and i’m very interested in baby sitting and pet sitting for people and just giving back the love i share with my animals where it’s needed! I have a fenced in yard for both of my puppies and everyday i come home and make sure they get plenty of play time with me. They have a routine with me, I feed them every evening at 5pm and give them supplements for their health so they live the longest and happiest life !
“I was a first timer on Rover and with Brianna. So big choice(s) for me! She had a 5 star review and more than half of her clients have rebooked. This is why I felt comfortable selecting her. We did a pre-meet and it went well. While I was gone, Bri was great to send daily pics and videos! HUGE! Thank you for loving on my awesome dog son Daniel and allowing me to exhale regarding his care while I was gone.”
“Maggie was absolutely wonderful with my cats. She was an easy choice for me - she communicated professionally, was very cheery at our meet and greet, and listened intently to every detail I shared about my cats. She cared for my cats like they were her own! I highly recommend her!”

“Absolutely adore Hailey! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease. Hailey’s communication was fantastic, and the frequent updates and photos meant the world to me while I was away. She followed every instruction exactly as requested and went above and beyond to make sure my pets were happy, comfortable, and loved. What impressed me most was how quickly Hailey connected with and cared for my pets as if they were her own. It’s rare to find someone who is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely invested in your pets’ well-being. I came home to happy pets and complete peace of mind. Words honestly cannot express how grateful I am for Hailey and her services-I would trust her again without hesitation and highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for an outstanding pet sitter!”
About: I like to update you on your pet/s every day, how they did and how they played. I also like to send pictures to you of your pet/s and videos for you to enjoy! I'm here to help right when you need me. I enjoy caring for all pet family and updating you with photos or calls of our time together. Reach out for more info. Pet care is heavily dependent on owner instructions and my own care experience. My attention is based on scheduled care and includes daily walks, proper meal preparation and admission, medications as necessary and active/brain play and independent settling.
“Emily was great! She house sat for us and took great care of our very active Boykin Spaniel. She sent me pictures everyday we were gone and came home to a clean house. Would definitely use her again!”
“Kristin was awesome! Our dog loved her and she gave him took great care of him. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a polite, trustworthy sitter.”
About: Hi! My name is Ariana. I have worked with animals for over 15 years and have owned animals all my life. My favorite animals are cats, but I love to hang out with dogs as well. I have owned and am knowledgable with Jack Russell Terriers, Beagles, and Labrador Retrievers. I previously worked at a few pet stores as a Pet Care Associate as well as a Veterinary Assistant and a Dog Bather for a few years. From these previous jobs, I have learned many things about different types of pets and their behaviors. I have a full time job outside of Rover that is an 8-5. I also have an Associate’s degree in General studies, a Bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences, and I am pursuing a medical coding degree so that I am able to work from home and have more time pet sitting! In the meantime, I would love to spend more time taking care of animals while continuing my education and Rover allows me to do just that. Can't wait to love and care for all of your fur babies! I try to be as flexible with pet parents as I possibly can when it comes to scheduling any services. I will work with anyone’s schedule to provide the best care! From the time that I wake up to the time that I go to sleep I am taking care of animals. I currently have one cat named Kiki. When I care for animals, I care for them like the loving creatures that they are. Taking care of an animal is like taking care of a dear friend. When I worked at different pet stores I lived and breathed caring for animals and put thought into each and every animals’ care. Now that I have my own pet sitting business, I want to do that very same thing with your fur babies. I would love to care for them as if they are my own and would drop anything and everything to make sure that they had the best care imaginable.

Kira is amazing. Our fur babies and daughters lizards were well looked after. She did us the honor of updating us with pictures of them the whole time she came back to the house from work. We had her stay at our home with them. Kira treated them so well, they seemed happy and calm when we returned and that was amazing for us as both our fur babies have separation anxiety. Yes a million times I would recommend her to look after your fur babies. We look forward to having you look after Kili and Manjaro again in the future. Thank you Kira.

Taylor did an absolutely wonderful job watching our two dogs in our home. Her communication was excellent the entire time, which allowed me to truly rest easy and enjoy our trip knowing the dogs were in such great hands. We came back to happy pups and a perfectly cared-for house. I would happily use her again and highly recommend her to anyone!
It was our first time with this app our first time getting Adriana as a sitter for my doggie. She was great with my baby(gufy) he liked her. Everything was smooth she communicated with us on anything and gave me updates on Gufy every day. We are happy that we choose Adriana to take care of our baby Gufy. She is a very responsible person.
Not only is he incredibly reliable and kind, but he also went above and beyond by taking out my trash cans while I was away — such a thoughtful gesture. It’s rare to find someone so dependable and genuinely caring. Highly recommend him to anyone needing a great dog sitter!
We were out of the country for two weeks and very anxious about leaving our pets, especially our old dog who is having a lot of mobility and incontinence issues. We knew from previous trips (and other old dogs) that Layda would take excellent care and be able to handle any curve balls that Aster might throw her way. Layda cares for our pets like her own and we felt much more confident on this trip knowing that she was here with them.
