Eric was great housesitting our 11-month-old Akita! He asked great questions ahead of time to get to know his personality and anything we were concerned about. Our dog is a bit reactive on his leash, which didn’t phase Eric at all. He seemed very comfortable with dogs in general, and we felt confident he would do a good job! We also got regular updates while we were away, and all was well when we returned.

Lindsey was a great communicator, respectful of our home, and handled our fur babies well. She kept us informed of issues while we were away and was also responsive with any questions or concerns we had. We'd hire her again and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter. Thank you Lindsey!

AMAZING sitter! We had Jenny watch our pets for a week while we were out on vacation. I left care instructions and she followed them to the teeth! One of our dogs got sick and Jenny took the steps to make sure both her and the house were taken care of. Would hire her again for sure!

Our dog was calm and happy on our return home and it was clear that Rosemary took great care of him. We will definitely book with Rosemary again in the future!

It's so incredibly difficult to find someone who takes pet sitting seriously. The moment I did a meet and greet with Rebecca, I knew right away she was "the one". Her love and knowledge for animals is obvious, and her commitment to ensuring we were comfortable while leaving our babies made our stay even better. She followed my crazy instructions and sent me so many photos which always makes me feel so much better. I wish I had found Rebecca sooner - ten thousand percent will be begging her to watch my pets again!!!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had cats my whole life, have experience pet sitting dogs and cats, and previously worked at an animal shelter caring for animals of all ages and temperaments. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time in the mornings, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time throughout the day to give pets the attention, care, playtime, and companionship they need. I’m an early riser and love spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing with energetic pets, or giving shy pets the patience and comfort they need to feel safe. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I have three very playful, social cats of my own, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I also previously worked as a kennel attendant at an animal shelter, where I cared for both cats and dogs by feeding them, administering medication, bathing dogs, and working with pets of many different personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable caring for shy, senior, high-energy, and young pets, and I always follow each owner’s routine and instructions carefully. I’m happy to send updates and photos as often as owners would like so they always feel connected and reassured while away.

Auston and Kaitlyn our lifesavers. They were able to take care of our lovely cats and dogs complete with a lot of special care needed for a couple of our four legged friends. They were able to juggle our needs with everything going on in their life and we were just blessed to find them. I would highly recommend them for your daily pet care or overnight.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Molly did an amazing job taking care of our sweet Maya and our two cats while we were away. She sent us pictures and updates every day, which gave us great peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for they were. Molly took Maya on several long walks and gave all of our pets plenty of attention, love, and care. It was clear from the photos and updates that our pets absolutely adored her, and when we returned home they were relaxed, happy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Joanna has been my sweet boy’s daily dog walker for 2 years, and I genuinely don’t know what I would do without her. She has become one of the most trusted people to my very reactive, shy dog - a true miracle worker! From her abundance of pictures, detailed updates, and vast experience, she’s truly a dog owner’s best friend. Thank you, Joanna!

This is the second time Ahmed has stayed with Bella. Ahmed went above and beyond in making sure Bella was taken care of while we were away. He made a trip to our house before the stay to make sure he understood her medicine and feeding routine. He was very communicative and made me feel very comfortable while I was away. Also there was a problem with many of the smoke alarms in the house and Ahmed went the extra mile to take the units down to stop them from making the alarm. I couldn’t recommend Robin and Ahmed more highly. Kind and good people.

Lindsey just stayed with our senior dog for the first time, and it went really well. Lindsey clearly has a lot of experience with dogs. She administered our dog's many medications and managed his difficulty navigating stairs due to blindness without batting an eye. She did things with him that were appropriate to his energy level, like car rides and short walks. We got daily updates on how he was doing. When we got home, our dog was happy, healthy and tired and our house looked just as we'd left it. We will definitely ask Lindsey to stay with him again.

My first time using rover as a pet owner and I am so lucky to have found Alex! I am a crazy cat mom and she went over and above to make me feel comfortable with leaving my baby alone with a “stranger” for the first time. She is so kind, sent loads of updates, and is incredibly professional. I looked for weeks on rover to find the right person and I’m so glad I found her. Cat parents, alex is for you!
