“This was my first experience using Rover, and Holly was amazing. She came back on lunch breaks, made sure the dogs got their walks, and took great care of a crazy boxer and her puppy brother. I have actually booked her for another trip already. Thank you, Holly, for being such a great sitter!”
“Colene was fabulous! She helped ease my anxiety for leaving our pup with a stranger as we were in town for a concert this weekend. She loved our boy - if you use her, you won’t be disappointed”
“Melissa was amazing! send me pictures of my cats every day! And really showed she cared about them, keeping them entertained and loved ❤️ great communicator as well!”
“We returned home to two happy and healthy dogs and our house was just as we left it. Brooke is responsive and provides updates and pictures which is always appreciated.”
“Genevieve was a great dog/house sitter for my German Shepherd! She sent regular updates with pictures and left the house spotless. We’ll definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Lillie was an exceptional communicator before and during the stay with our dog. The house was picked up and in order when we returned home. Our dog was very comfortable with Lillie. Lillie assured us that all was well while we were gone. We will hire Lillie again!”
“Kelsey went above & beyond with my dog, Nalah!! She took her to the dog park, for multiple walks, and sent photo and video updates throughout the day. My dog was smiling ear to ear in each photo- Highly recommend. Will def be using Kelsey again!!”
“I do not know where to start other than Hillary went above and beyond for my furbabies Piper and Paislee. The night before Hillary was suppose to come stay at the house Paislee became very ill and was at emergency vet from 615pm until 6 am. I explained everything that was going on to Hillary and for not ever watching Piper and Paislee she was very attentive to Paislee as we had to leave 2.5 hours after getting her home to the airport. I cooked everything I needed and left all medications on the counter and let her know the times of next doses. She seemed comfortable with everything and I couldn’t have been lucky enough to find her. She used her best judgment and I couldn’t have been anymore blessed with her caring PIper and Paislee. I was able to get updates about every other day due to our traveling plans. I let her know many times how grateful I was. Then I came home to a beautiful letter and she washed all the blankets from the dogs, towels, and the guest room bedding. She do not have to do that but I am grateful. Hillary went way above and beyond caring for our dogs. Thank you Hillary from the bottom rny heart!!!!!!!!”
“We had such a great experience with our dog and house sitter, Norah. She took such wonderful care of Bentley and kept us updated the whole time, which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house, and it gave us total peace of mind knowing Bentley was in such good hands. It’s clear Norah truly cares and treats your home and pets like her own. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.”
“Great, couldn’t say more. Left my place cleaner than I left it and kept me informed throughout the weekend about how Murray was with pictures and updates. Highly recommend.”
“Hannah was so amazing! she was able to help me out very last minute. came over beforehand to go over mavericks routine. and kept me updated throughout the day. would definitely recommend her! :)”
“Ricardo stayed in my home for two weeks to take care of our two mini doodles, one of whom needed medicine while we were gone. We returned home to two happy, well-fed and well-cared for dogs. He did a great job and I would be happy to hire him again. Before staying with them, he visited with the dogs on two occasions and both seemed to take to him immediately. Grateful for his care for them while we were away.”
“Kate was awesome! She took great care of our pups and our home. We received lots of pictures during her stay and had such peace of mind knowing they were in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Emily was fantastic. We had her stay at our house with our dog while we were away. She was so good to our baby boy. We really feel like she made him a priority. We forgot to tell her so many things about the house (like how to use the tv and thermostat) and she never complained. She was really great with sending pictures and updates of our little guy too. You can tell she really loves dogs. She really made us feel really good about leaving him with someone new (he's not great with new people).”
“Went to Europe for almost two weeks and decided to give Rover a try for the first time - and I TOTALLY lucked out with Erin!! I ended up selecting her because in addition to the positive reviews, she seemed like she was great with cats. I left my two cats - and my home - in Erin’s care while I was abroad, which was a little bit scary for me, but Erin made me so comfortable. We met first, she spent lots of time getting used to the kitties’ habits, and she was so patient with them (they’re shy at first). Erin was friendly, flexible, and amazing with my kitties. I got updates every day including videos, and she took great care of my home. When I came back, the bowls were full, the litter was clean, and the cats were happy. Erin came every day, loved up on the kitties, and made sure the house was safe. I’m incredibly grateful to have found someone who I can trust and finally can relax on my future trips knowing she is here and willing to help. I highly recommend booking with Erin, especially for first-time Rovers! Thank you for everything, Erin! I’ll be seeing you again! ?”
“We had a wonderful experience booking Kevin to pet sit for cat Lulu and dog Otis for two weeks. We received daily updates on how they were doing. I can tell Kevin really enjoys taking care of them and being able to pet our cat by the end of the first week really shows commitment, as she hides from anyone who comes over. He made sure Otis had his meds and special food. Everything was as we left it when we came home, even cleaning the bedding and running the dishwasher! Probably the first time I felt at ease leaving them. We will definitely be booking Kevin to watch our fur babies in the future! Thank you, Kevin!”
“Ashlyn was fantastic! She took great care of my two cats and bird, and kept me updated throughout the entire time. Super communicative and easy to work with. Highly recommend! 😊”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life—growing up with 3 dogs at all times, so chaos and cuddles are my specialty 🐾 I’m now a proud cat mom to a 3-year-old, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats! As a nurse, I’m naturally attentive, responsible, and calm in any situation. I love getting pups out for walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I do work full time but have one day off every week and get off at a reasonable me time for drop-ins, and playtime! I’m available weekdays after 5, all day on Fridays and weekends. I love building a routine that works best for your pet. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk to burn off some energy, I’m happy to help and will keep you updated along the way 📸🐶 Your pet will be treated like family with me! I have a fenced in yard and a shy cat at home! I always follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable and secure. As a nurse, safety and attention to detail come naturally to me—so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands 💛

This was my first time using Rover, and Jennifer, and I wasn’t disappointed. Jennifer was very responsive from my first inquiry until now when my trip was done. She sent pictures each day of my cats doing their usual cat shenanigans which was great to see and gave reassurance that they were doing just fine with me being gone. When I got home from my 10 day trip the house looked great - was all picked up and everything in it’s usual place. Overall Jennifer was a delight to deal with - responsible, trustworthy and made it evident that she was enjoying time with my fur babies too! I look forward to working with her again!
This was our first time using Rover and a pet sitter. Lillie was communicative from the very beginning and throughout the week. She provided excellent care for our 17 year old cat and 6 year old sheltie. We came home to happy animals and a house that looked like no one had been in it. Will definitely use her again.
Kasidee was a great house sitter for our Great Dane over spring break. She provided lots of pup dates and was very communicative. It’s our first time using Rover and Kasidee was wonderful at walking us through the process. We would definitely hire her again. Thank you Kasidee!
Emily was great!! We came home to happy dogs that we could tell were loved while we were away! Our house was well taken care of, and she was great at communicating and sending pictures which we really appreciated! We hope she’ll come stay again in the futures when we have to go away. We can’t thank her enough!!
Denavvia was a fantastic dog sitter! We did a meet and greet before hand which helped us all feel good going into the house sitting week. She took excellent care of our pup and sent us frequent updates. I couldn't be happier and I think my dog misses her already.
Julieanne was very conscientious about following my cat's rather complicated feeding requirements. She reached out to ask for extra ideas on how to get my territorial old grump to play, and succeeded in getting him to play with her. He even allowed some pets. I appreciate her caring for my kitty!
Angela watched my very mellow/low maintenance senior 60lb weim/lab mix for 7 days while I was on vacation. We went with pet sitting in my home that didn't require overnight stays from Angela (again, my dog is very mellow - he doesn't require middle of the night potty breaks, hasn't needed a crate in YEARS, etc.). Angela came over for a meet and great and my dog liked her right away, he usually likes everyone, so really it's for my own piece of mind. Angela was great with him! She sent multiple updates every day and was quick to respond whenever I checked in with her. She helped keep him on his typical routine and made sure he got plenty of walks and play time in the house and out in our yard. I will definitely be reaching out to Angela the next time I need a sitter while out of town!
