“Helen responded quickly to my last minute request for in home overnight dog care. We did a meet and greet and I quickly knew she was fantastic. Throughout the stay she sent me multiple photos and I knew my dogs were in very capable hands. She left the house immaculate (hard to do with 2 dogs!). I will contact Helen in a heartbeat when I need a dog sitter.”

“Wesley was amazing. Kept in contact with us. Took amazing care of our pups. Let us know if any issues. She even got my little old pup to cuddle and that is rare. He really doesn’t like many people! She was amazing and we plan to use her again and again!!”

“Anna was super thorough and patient in the meet and greet with our dog, who can sometimes be overly energetic and anxious. She is detail oriented and super responsible, and updated us throughout the stay and Beanie seemed calm and content when we returned. Thanks, Anna!”

“We had a great experience with Veronica, who helped us with cat and house sitting. She took wonderful care of our two cats, making sure they were fed, comfortable, and given attention while we were away. We also appreciated that the house was well-kept when we returned. Communication was smooth throughout, with regular updates that gave us peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend Veronica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and we look forward to reaching out to her again in the future!”


About: Hello! I am a lifelong lover of animals and currently have two dogs. I have been petsitting for a few years now and thought signing up on Rover would be a great idea! I have experience petsitting with both cats and dogs. I currently work part-time at a couple of other jobs. Therefore I am most available weekday mornings to afternoons. I could also do some weekday evenings. The only times I am unavailable are Mondays from 10 to 11am, Wednesdays from 9am to 12pm, and most weekend evenings. Although I do not offer pet care in my own home, I can guarantee that I am a responsible person who is very good with gaining the trust of animals. My family has always had a dog in the house, therefore I am able to read their body language well.
“Benson had an absolutely wonderful time with Helena!! Helena is so conscientious- twice daily updates with pictures! The house is immaculate when we return - highly recommend Helena!!!”


“my dogs loved Collette and were happy and healthy when I came home. My home was left when she left as it was when I left for my trip, which means a great deal to me. Highly recommend.”

“Michelle did a great job with our geriatric cats. Medications were properly administered and the cats quickly warmed up to her. She also kept us informed with texts and pictures and dealt with some unscheduled package deliveries.”

“Savannah and Tillie are now besties! Savannah was amazing—she took great care of my Tillie Bean and my home. She sent regular updates, brought in packages as needed, and kept everything clean and well-maintained while I was away. I’ll definitely have her stay at my home and watch Tillie again in the future.”

“We always love working with Egon! They're great with our 3 kitties, and we always know we'll come back to happy cats and a tidy house. We've already booked them for another trip :) Grateful for you, Egon!”

“Joe did an amazing job making sure our sweet golden was well taken care of while we went out of town. He was very conscientious and communicative. Will definitely reach out to him again the next time we need a dog sitter!”

About: Hi there! I’m Grace. I have been dog sitting for friends and family for the past 5+ years and have been on Rover for over a year. I primarily house sit, but occasionally have availability for drop ins and walks. Read through my reviews to see what previous clients have to say! I work remotely, so I have plenty of time to play fetch, walk, and cuddle! If I have to stop by the office, it is typically only for 2 hours. Our home has a six-foot privacy fence and a large backyard. Both of our dogs are up-to-date on all vaccinations. We do not smoke. Any indoor plants can be removed. I can also crate your pup, put diapers on, administer meds, and take them for potty breaks/walks.
“Anna was extremely communicative and provided consistent updates while she watched my two pups during an out of town trip. I could tell through every photo and video she shared that the dogs were very well taken care of and comfortable. I would definitely book Anna again for future requests!”

“Bryan is so helpful — he was able to watch our house and two pets (dog & cat) for 17 days, including over the 4th of July weekend(!). Throughout, Bryan kept us informed about how things were going. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip knowing that all was well back home.”

“Celeste was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was communicative, thoughtful, and consistently kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog, and seeing how happy and comfortable my dog was in her presence meant everything to me. I could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Celeste again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”


“Steven was amazing! He took such great care of our two cats and our home while away! He sent daily updates and pictures of the cats, which helped us feel even more secure with them in his hands! This was our first time using Rover, and Steven was everything we could have hoped for and more. Would highly recommend Steven to anyone needing a pet and/or home sitter!”

“Rebecca is an absolute super star! She's amazing with our dog (Ember warmed up right away, when normally it takes a bit), her communication/response times are fast and she sent all of the sweetest photos of their adventures during our time away. She genuinely made everything so comfortable from the very first meet and greet & we can't wait to book with her again!”

“Lauren was professional and responsive - we did a meet and greet and then she stayed at our home for a weekend. Our dogs were well taken care of and the house was clean upon return.”

“Victor did great sitting for Ellie, kept her company all day, listened to her needs, gave her food and her medicine. Would absolutely book him again in the future!”

We had such a great experience with Anna! She took amazing care of our two dogs, Archie and Millie, while we were away for our wedding. Knowing they were safe, happy, and in their own home made the day so much less stressful for us. She stayed overnight, kept us updated, and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable. We came back to two very happy pups and a well-cared-for home. Highly recommend!

We have a very energetic dog with some reactivity issues that prevents him from doing well at a kennel. We trust Zaria completely to not only handle our dog's specific brand of crazy but also to take the best care of him so he doesn't feel nervous while we are gone. Thank you, Zaria!
