“Bevin hung out with our pup Bruce on semi short notice and took excellent care of her. The house was left tidy and she sent us pics and updated along the way. Bruce was spunky and happy when we got home and clearly had a great time.”
“Sylvia was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She checked in with us every morning and evening with updates on the dogs. We have 3 high energy dogs that she made sure were well exercised. She was patient and attentive. 5/5! ❤️”
“Lila is a warm, responsible friend to animals. She juggled caring for our cat and dog (who both have their quirks, and who both believe themselves to be THE most special one) with aplomb. We very much appreciated Lila’s reports and pictures of the fur babies while we were away. Absolutely top notch. Very highly recommend.”
“I would highly recommend Taylor for all your pet-sitting needs! My cat seemed so happy and well cared for when I arrived home, and Taylor was excellent every step of the way with good communication and keeping me updated.”
“Crystal was wonderful. Our pup was immediately calm and comfortable with her. She was a great communicator and sent us regularly updates. She took our dog out on adventures and walks and gave her lots of snuggles. It was our first time leaving our pup with someone who wasn’t a close friend or family, but crystal was so supportive and trustworthy. She left our house clean and tidy and our dog was calm and tuckered out when we got home. We feel so grateful to know we can leave town when we need to and that our dog will be in great hands. Thank you so much!”
“Shantell exceeded all my expectations. I was very nervous, leaving my newly elderly dog now on medicine with somebody. But she made it very easy. She was incredibly responsive, caring, and sent pictures and updates every day. I really think the dogs loved her. She also somehow cleaned up and made the beds, completely not expected. I would hire her over and over and over again.”
“Christopher house sat and cared for our dog Pippa for almost a month while we were out of the country on vacation. Every day Chris sent us a picture and update on Pippa. We even got videos of her too! She was so well taken care of and Chris brought in packages and boxes that we received in the mail and sent us pictures of those too. We were impressed when we first met him, he had a system worked out to ensure that he would always know where Pippa was and would have the key to our house secure and available in the event he could not be there, which never happened. He had everything well thought out and we left for our vacation confident and reassured that everything would be taken care of. When we returned, Pippa was happy and as Chris promised, he left no trace of him having had been there! I highly recommend Chris as a pet and house sitter. He is dependable, punctual, true to his word and flexible with his availability in case our travel plans did not go smoothly, as can sometimes happen. I would definitely call on Chris in the future.”
“Nicole went above and beyond to take care of my three dogs, Guinea pigs and my home while I was states away for a funeral - even with my chaotic changing schedule she was there to accommodate me and spend quality time with my fur children so I could stress less and spend more time with my family which was an incredible gift that I will be eternally grateful for!”
About: I have taken care of animals and I have had multiple different kinds myself. I love all kinds of animals and like to show them love like they show us. Im currently home all day with the kids. My husband works days but is home at night. We also have a teenager in the home who is very responsible and will help out. I have two friendly dog and two catswe have a small yard but like to go on walks. We are outside as much as we can.
“First time doing a house sitter for our cat and Alexis was so great!! Very communicative, sent lots of photo/video, asked very appropriate questions to help with the house that we didn’t think to ask about. Very helpful in upkeeping the house in addition to caring for our cat. Would book again!!”
“Arianne house sat our dog Percy for two nights. Her care, reliability and communication were excellent! We have already booked Arianne for a two week trip later this year.”
“Melissa did a great job with our dogs while we were out of the country on our honeymoon! She was communicative and we could tell they really enjoyed her company :) Definitely planning to use her again as a Rover for future trips!!”
“Tyler is phenomenal! We have a goofy (and anxious) Great Pyrenees as well as a smaller mutt and they loved their time with Tyler. He took them on many walks and left our house probably cleaner than we left it. I highly recommend and will for sure be using again!”
“Christine had great communication during the trip with daily update and photos as requested. The pets obviously were relaxed and well loved while we were gone. Thank you Christine for caring for them as if they were your own.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Kalee! She was absolutely incredible with our dog Olive during an overnight stay at our home. Olive can be a little shy and slow to warm up to new people, but Kalee’s calm, patient approach made all the difference—by the end of the stay, Olive was completely smitten. It’s clear that Kalee genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and her intuitive, gentle demeanor helped build trust quickly. On top of being wonderful with Olive, Kalee was also extremely respectful and professional. She treated our home with care, left everything spotless, and kept us updated throughout, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust, and we already look forward to booking with her again. Highly recommend Kalee to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and truly dog-savvy sitter!”
“Jules really loves animals, and took very good care of Dexter. He got lots of attention and snuggles, and also went on a very long walk and a run. I highly recommend Jules for pet sitting or dog walking.”
“Our dog loved staying with Ashley! He even tried to sneak into her car to go home with her when we returned. That is the biggest compliment ever! Ashley is a great communicator, trustworthy, and a dog whisperer. She sent us fantastic photos each night of our trip with our dog smiling. We never worried once during our trip knowing he was in good hands. We can’t wait to go on another trip and hope that Ashley is not completely booked given how fantastic she is!”

Glen Cove pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ari did a wonderful job taking care of our pets and our home. She is very thoughtful, careful, and gentle. Our dogs warmed up to her very quickly. She was communicative and stayed in touch. We arrived home to happy pets and a clean house. We will definitely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone in the area!
Tyler and Emily were great with our two young dogs and princess kitty. They met the dogs in energy and literally charmed the cat into their arms. The house was neat and tidy when we got home. Communication was timely and excellent. Fun photos too :-) Definitely hiring again!
We only had our puppy for 1 month when we went on vacation so we were very worried about leaving him and our senior cat. Aja sent us lots of pictures and gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our vacation. Aja not only took great care of our pets but left our house in total order.
Ashley was the best. My dog Ali can be a challenge sometimes, but Ashley jumped right in and took her on some good adventures. They clearly bonded and I know Ali was sad to see her go. Ashley also left the house spotless and kept me posted with pics and videos during her stay. Totally 5 stars.
Amanda was an awesome sitter! They took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated the entire time we were away. Her communication was tops, giving us total peace of mind. Not only did she take great care of Jim, but she also took excellent care of our home. We are so appreciative of her kindness, responsibility, and attention to detail. If you’re looking for an amazing pet sitter, Amanda is it!
Sierra was fantastic! She put us at ease with updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs loved being with her. Highly recommended, she did a great job. She even left our place clean and tidy upon return. Could not have asked for a better sitter. Thank you!
