“Adam stayed at my house for a few days to take care of my dogs, Nanuk and Tree, and he did such a great job. He was super reliable, kept me updated, and made sure the dogs were well taken care of the entire time. He took them on walks every day, which I really appreciated—especially because they’re big boys and definitely not the easiest to handle on a leash. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were getting the exercise and attention they need. I came home to happy dogs and everything in great shape. I would absolutely book Adam again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Savannah was absolutely wonderful with Moses. She clearly cares about the animals she looks after, and I could tell Moses was comfortable and happy the entire time. Communication was great, and I never had to worry while I was away. She’ll be my first call anytime I need a sitter going forward. Highly recommend! ”
“Stephanie did a great job house/dog sitting for the weekend. She was easy to communicate with, took lots of photos, shared updates, and was a perfect house guest. Couldn’t have been better!”
“Brittney did fantastic with my 2 dogs. They seem very happy when I came home. Brittney also kept my home as she found it. Definitely recommend Brittany and will consider her to sit my dogs again.”
“Kiera watched my two corgis while I was out of the state for two days. From the moment I met her, she was very friendly and made me (and more importantly my dogs) feel very comfortable. She asked questions during the meet and greet and gave numerous updates throughout the stay to let me know how they were. 10/10 would recommend and would hire again!”
“I’m so grateful for the care and kindness she showed Sammy. I had to come home early due to some health challenges, and she was incredibly understanding and communicative throughout everything. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Sammy was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“Monica took such good care Pfizer our two dogs. She kept us updated and sent lots of cute pics! She spent a lot of time with them in our home as well, which made a difference for them. Will definitely book again for our next trip!”
“Orima is incredible!! She was so thorough and attentive to our doggos, making sure they were happy felt loved while we were away for a few days for a wedding! We had a terrible experience with a doggy daycare, so having a loving caring dog sitter really feels like a blessing!! We truly look forward to having Orima sit for us again!!”
“Kristin did a great job sitting for our dogs. She spent several days with them and they had a great time. The dogs seemed very comfortable with her and we were happy she was able to spend lots of time with them. She provided updates multiple times per day including pictures of them around the house and around the pool. We came home to happy and stress free dogs. We would definitely book her again!”
“Addy was amazing! She helped me out when I was in a bind and needed someone to house and dog sit for me with short notice. She saved the day!! She took amazing care of my dogs and my home! I’ll definitely be reaching out to her in the future to help care for my dogs!”
“Our pets are always happy when we return to the house after Lauren has taken such good care of them. The cat has had her medicine and the dog has been entertained. Thank you, Lauren.”
“Camryn was amazing. She checked in regularly & sent photos of my 3 pups. I could tell they were having a blast with her. They are all senior gals, the oldest being 17. When I got home, they were all so happy, everything was clean (including them! Which is hard when you're battling incontinence and bladder issues). Camryn is top notch and my gals cannot wait for me to go out of town again!!!”
“We’ve used Andrea several times and will continue to book with her. I always have confidence that our pups are in good hands and she is great at sending updates and reaching out. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Holly was an excellent way for us to try out Rover for our 2 rough and rowdy Frenchies. She was super responsive and kept us up with how our Pups were doing in our absence with photos during her visits. Definitely going to use her again when available.”
“We are so happy with Valentina. She took fabulous care of our wild springer puppy and was so good about keeping us in the loop, sending photos and updates. We have already booked her again!”
“Amy was AMAZING!! She took such great care of my dog plus my son’s! She took them on really long walks and made sure they got plenty of cuddle time too! Amy’s communication the whole time was top-notch and she sent me so many pictures. Can’t wait to use here again on the next trip! Amy also took great care of my home!”

Let me know what works for you and we'll figure it out. I have 2 senior dogs, a partially blind cat, and a cichlid (fish). I love animals and would treat my clients fur baby as if they were my own 💜 I am very nurturing and would do what is required to make my clients pet comfortable and happy!
“Leila and Sam were amazing with our dogs! During the meet and greet, and upon first arrival for the sitting Sirius can be skiddish, but this couple knew what to do to get him to warm up and be comfortable! Molly loves making new friends so she immediately liked Leila and Sam. They were great at communicating with us everyday and sending the cutest pictures! We really enjoyed having them care for our pups and will definitely be rebooking with them in the future 🤗”
Governor's Square pet parents share their Rover experiences
We used our first over night service through Rover with Claire. She was a tremendous help with our kitten who had an upset tummy and was having some accidents. We appreciate Claire for dealing with the messes and keeping us updated on how she was feeling. We will definitely continue to use Claire for any drop in or over night stays we might need in the future.
Savannah took excellent care of Mochi and my home while I was out. She was quick to respond for updates, and Mochi was very happy to hangout with her and was a happy dog when I got home. I definitely recommend her and I'll be requesting her again in the future!
Valentina was an amazing dog sitter for my 9 year old pit mix!! I have used 3-4 people from rover over the years and she’s the best one!! From the moment sky met her - she loved her! (Dogs know!) She had questions I hadn’t even thought of when we did our meet up, she was timely, constant communication (not overly), and provided updates as I requested. She left my home just as she found it. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone I knew personally!! Thanks for loving on my gal, Valentina <3
Highly recommend Amy! She is the utmost professional who went above and beyond her pet-sitting duties (and even watered my plants!). Her communication was fantastic, and the regular photos gave me total peace of mind. I am especially grateful for how wonderful she was with my senior dogs (oldest is almost 18!), who require extra attention and physical assistance getting outside. Thank you for taking such amazing care of them. Thank you SO much Amy!
Megan stayed with our two 7-year-old Golden Retrievers for two nights. She was fantastic from start to finish. Megan sent great photos throughout the stay and communicated consistently, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Our pups are not the easiest dogs to care for — they wake up early and have a very specific routine for feeding and going outside — and she handled everything wonderfully. It was clear they were well cared for and comfortable with her. We would absolutely recommend Megan to any friends or family looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter.
Esperanza is awesome! She took care of our dog June and our cats, as well as housesat for 10 days! Her prices are great and she updated us with photos, videos and stories multiple times a day. This was our first experience with Rover and she made everything go so smoothly. We will def try to hire her first every time we need help.
Julie did a great job with my three dogs to of whom are quite elderly. She ensured they got all of their meds and catered to my elderly rat terrier's pickiness. One of the dogs got sick while Julie was with them and she went the extra mile to care for her and stay in close contact with me. Thank you Julie.
First time booking a house sitter for our clingy girl so I was a bit nervous but Jeni was phenomenal! Easy to communicate with, punctual, and loved the fun photos she shared with us. Came back to a clean home and happy kitten! Highly recommend her for a peace of mind 💕
