“Asia took great care of our pup, Juniper, as well as our house. She was really helpful and responsive to our messages. Our flights kept changing and Asia was flexible and made sure Juniper wouldn’t be left alone too long waiting, especially while there were thunderstorms (which scare Juniper). We came home to a happy healthy pup!”

“Maria is a fantastic pet sitter who treats your pets and your home like it's her own. She follows instructions and sends plenty pictures of my pets often. She is by far the best sitter I have hired and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.”

“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”

“Channing was great - she brought such good energy and was so natural with the dogs. Channing sent a ton of photos and was extremely communicative in the lead up and during her stay. We do not have easy dogs and Channing seemed to do great with them. Will definitely be reaching out in the future.”

“Naya handled all my dog could throw at someone new - from pooping in his crate to trucking her into extra play time outside, naya handled it all perfectly. When I got home, I literally had to reassure my fiance someone did take care of juicy- she left the house with no trace she was here, she only left behind a happy well loved pup! Will be booking naya again!”

“Bito is lovely to work with! I always knew I could expect a comprehensive text of the visit and lots of cute photos. I felt comforted knowing Bito was there to spend time with my pet. I’d highly recommend for any type of pet sitting !”

“Ivan has shown tremendous patience with our overly anxious puppies. He was amazing with communication through out the stay. I plan on using him again for future trips and highly recommend him for others to use as well. The videos he sent were adorable and made us feel very safe for him to have out animals.”

“Emma did a fantastic job with Reese. She was very easy to communicate with and quick in responding to the sitting request. She was arrived on time and was friendly. Reese and Emma had a great time together. I would recommend Emma and will definitely book her for future needs.”

About: I have over 6 years of professional animal care experience, including working as a veterinary assistant, at dog daycare and boarding facilities, and caring for farm animals. I have also volunteered with wildlife rehabilitation centers and horse stables, so I am comfortable working with a wide variety of species and personalities. I grew up around animals and currently have pets of my own, including cats and reptiles. Throughout my life I have cared for dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, and I am confident handling pets with different temperaments and needs. Friends, family, and coworkers have always relied on me when they need someone they trust to watch their pets or ask questions about animal care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. I would love to meet you and your pets and provide reliable, attentive care you can feel confident about. I have a relatively open schedule as I do my school work remotely, so I have plenty of time to swing by whenever you may need. I will follow all set directions for your pets, whether you want them out in the yard or leashed on a walk, and whatever else they may need.
“If we could give more stars, we would. Michael was wonderful, going above and beyond any expectation we had for someone taking care of our dog and our home. He is very attentive, responsible and responsive to any messages we sent. Most importantly, he is just a very kind person whom we hope to have to our home again. Our dog has a new wonderful friend! His photos of our dog were amazing, too! We are very grateful for Michael.”

“This was our third time having Amy petsit our dog, and she is wonderful! We really appreciate all the time and attention she gives our pup and the daily photo updates. It’s been great being able to fully relax on vacation knowing our dog is safe and well cared for.”

“Liz and Rich took amazing care of our recently adopted dog and our 2 cats. We came home to pets who were calm and happy and interactive - even our shy cat. To me, this is what it's all about, knowing your pets were well cared for and given lots of love. Will definitely use them again!”


“Imani was absolutely wonderful. This was our first time using Rover and Imani was helpful every step of the way. We did a meet and greet a couple weeks prior and then she stayed with our dog for a week while we were away. Plenty of updates and photos helped us feel super comfortable being away from home. I would absolutely recommend Imani and would gladly book her again next time!”

“Natalie was great with our little guy! She was communicative, punctual, came in clutch for a relatively last minute holiday booking, was patient with our dogs initial stranger danger reaction, and our stranger-scared cat even ventured out to say hi to her. Would book again.”

“Sierra did a great job dogsitting my senior dog and housesitting while I was out of town for a long weekend! She sent updates and pictures, which was very reassuring!”
“Jeff was amazing!! Our dogs were so happy having him there for them (as were we)! He made sure they had plenty of love and attention, communicated regularly with us to let us know how they were doing and sent us pictures and videos of our boys. We highly recommend Jeff and will be requesting his services again when we have to leave!”

Govans pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ivan has been such a great sitter for our pup Koa. She usually takes a bit to warm up to strangers, but his calm and welcoming demeanor put her at ease right away. Koa can also be reactive around other dogs and is generally an anxious girl, and Ivan has been wonderfully patient with her. She was recently diagnosed with cancer, and he has been incredibly flexible with administering her medications. We've already booked Ivan three times and will absolutely be booking him again in the future.

Emma did such a great job taking care of Sabi and my house. She communicated really well and that gave me peace of mind and confidence that everything was in order. Sure enough, when I got home after a 5-day business trip, the house was clean and Sabi was happy. She's a really good communicator and very responsible. I will book with Emma again for sure.

livia was wonderful with our Labrador, Cupcake. She took excellent care of her, making sure she was happy, safe, and well looked after. Olivia also kept the house very clean and tidy while we were away. We truly appreciated her reliability and care, and we are having her watch Cupcake again.
I can’t say enough amazing things about Jackie! She truly put us at so much ease when we went out of town. She cared for our cats with the same love that we do and our cat who is usually very shy warmed up to her very fast! I would recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a sitter that provides a lot of love and attention to your pets.

Anna was a great communicator. We loved receiving the update texts and photos of our dog while we were away. Our pet has some health issues and Anna took everything in stride, we know our pet was well cared for! The house was as we'd left it and we would definitely rebook with Anna in the future.

Hannah was absolutely amazing! She did such a great job, keeping me up-to-date about my fur baby that I felt so comfortable and confident with enjoying my vacation a world away. 🥰🥰🥰🥰. My fur baby loved snuggling up with Hannah so my heart was at ease knowing she was in good hands!
