“Jody was absolutely fantastic! She took care of our 4 dogs and cat with such care and attention to detail. She was reliable, communicated well, and made our first experience with Rover a breeze. We will definitely be booking her services again in the future. Highly recommend Jody for all your pet sitting needs! 5 stars all the way!”

“Preston did an absolutely outstanding job caring for our animals while we were away for a week. Our dog, who is both highly anxious and sometimes aggressive, completely warmed up to him - a true testament to Preston’s patience and skill. He not only gave our dog the care and attention he needed but also made sure our two cats, two mini horses, and donkey were all well cared for and happy. We came home to a tidy house, content animals, and total peace of mind knowing everything had been handled so well. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring pet sitter, Preston is the one!”

“Emalee was an awesome babysitter! She was great at communicating, she sent pictures often and took great care of our doggies and our house. The dogs looked happy and our house was left exactly as we left it. She even left cute little gifts for our pups for Christmas! I will definitely be using her again, Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely fantastic dog sitter. Super responsive, professional and dependable. Sat our 3 dogs and house for 8 days. Dogs were happy and house looked great. Highly recommend and will rebook”

About: I have over 4 years of pet care experience and am a dedicated dog owner myself, with two dogs at home. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels, and I also truly enjoy working with cats. I have basic training experience, including reinforcing leash walking and simple commands. My goal is always to provide reliable, attentive care so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently working morning part time shifts, I have more then enough time though out the day to come and hangout with your pets walk talk and play! I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure the environment is nice and calm. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as provided and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I am a firm believer in communication and love sending updates. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and rest based on their individual needs and energy levels. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and like to keep everything tidy while ensuring their pet feels secure and cared for in their usual environment.
“Abigail did a fantastic job watching our critters! She was great about sending pics of Oban and Mabel, and she kept our house looking nice and clean. We would definitely have her house sit again and recommend her!”

“Rebecca was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of our three dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos and messages, which meant a lot to us. She was friendly, professional, trustworthy, and clearly cared about our dogs as if they were her own. It was obvious they were well cared for and getting lots of attention while we were gone. She even went above and beyond by keeping the floors vacuumed. We have a German Shepherd who is shedding quite a bit right now, and we came home to a house that wasn’t covered in dog hair, which was such a pleasant surprise. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be using Rebecca again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“I was very nervous about going on vacation for five days leaving my animals, but I found Abigail on Rover and she was absolutely amazing. I’ve told my friends about her. She took very good care of my animals. I would definitely recommend her. She gave me detailed information and updates on my babies. Thank you Abigail. You are the best.”

“Mckenzie was the first sitter we ever had, and she was great! She took great care of our crew, and knowing she was there with them gave us a lot of peace while we were away. She connected with me daily, shared pictures of my pups, and asked questions if she needed more information, which I really appreciated! On the way home, we got a flat tire, and she was willing to be on standby to let our dogs out in case we were home too late. She also left us notes about the week, again, which I appreciated! Highly recommend and we would definitely use her again! Thanks Mckenzie!!”

“Kim is fantastic! She is very detail oriented, wonderful with our boy Jack, and an absolute delight! With Kim taking care of our home and our pup, we were able to enjoy our vacation!!!!”

“As first-time Rover users, we were initially nervous, but Taryn immediately set our minds at ease. She warmly suggested a meet-and-greet to ensure it was a good fit for us and our pets. While we were away, Taryn was excellent with communication, checking in upon arrival and sending regular photos and updates. Coming home was a delight; our house was spotless, our dogs were happy, fed, and well-exercised, and Taryn had even thoughtfully started a load of household linens in the wash. We have no doubt our animals adored her and received the very best care. We will absolutely be asking Taryn to return!”

“Amanda was great with our girl! Our pup is a bit vocal and has a few quirks; like needing doors closed, a sound machine on when we’re out, and a special diet…but Amanda handled everything. Communication was easy and consistent, and we came home to a happy pup. It’s clear she really cared, and we’ve already booked her again.”


“Megan has stayed with our pooches numerous times. The best way to sum up how wonderful she is is to say the dogs are a little down and look for her at our gate for a few days after we return!”

“Phoebe was absolutely fantastic. She took such great care of our (high maintenance) pups and left our home in perfect shape. She always responded quickly and sent plenty of pics. 10/10!”

“Our whole family absolutely loves Dan. He was extremely communicative and sent pictures and daily, which we loved having. He went above and beyond in caring for our dogs, as well as our house. He fielded unexpected deliveries and an insurance adjuster all without complaint or hesitation. He helped our Bassett through several thunderstorms by lying with her wherever she was most comfortable, whether that was the bathroom floor or his bed. He was extremely thoughtful and resourceful when our Border collie mix had stomach issues come up during his stay, and he helped us work through a plan to care for her. We would hire Dan again in a heartbeat and we recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter.”
