So happy we had her stay at the house with our girls! They were happy when we got home and everything in the house looked great! I appreciate the detail reports and pictures as this was the first time leaving our girls for this long and without family taking care of them. Such a great job thanks! They are looking forward to seeing you soon!

Mars was very attentive with our dog, and did a great job keeping her on schedule, walked, and engaged. We also got lots of updates and very timely replies. Will definetely hire again to watch our dog.

Communicative, respectful, caring, and most of all trustworthy. Joli was a pleasure to have. This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone besides my parents, so as you can imagine I was nervous. She was willing to work with my schedule and I could immediately tell my dog was her highest priority. Joli house sat for me as well, and she treated my home with respect and went the extra miles. Joli took the initiative to proactively give me updates on Chip and their adventures, and it made me so happy! Chip had the best time!! The icing on the cake was that on my flight back I was delayed and could have missed my connection. Joli was very willing to stay with Chip longer if I did miss my connection. She made sure I made my connecting flight and made sure I made it home. I will exclusively be using Joli every time I need a puppy sitter and I highly highly recommend leaving your animals with her. She will spoil them with attention and affection while you are away!

Reanna is excellent. We have three dogs each with something that makes them special. We have an 80 pound pitbull with leash reactivity, a nearly 14 year old senior pit mix whose age is definitely showing but he’s still a sweetheart, and a beagle (enough said). Needless to say we’re very cautious with choosing a dog sitter and Reanna took wonderful care of our three pups, including house sitting, walking all three individually, and giving pills. I highly recommend her.

This was my first time using Rover, and Thomas completely exceeded every expectation I had. As someone who is very protective of my dog, I was nervous about trusting a new person, but Thomas made the entire experience incredibly easy, reassuring, and honestly, better than I could have imagined. Before even accepting the booking, he came by to meet Jax and instantly put both of us at ease. He listened carefully to every instruction, took my concerns seriously, and asked thoughtful, detailed questions to make sure he could care for Jax exactly the way I do. It was so obvious how much he genuinely cares about animals and wants to get it right. Throughout the stay, Thomas sent amazing updates and photos that showed just how happy, exercised, and loved Jax was the entire time. He went above and beyond to keep my pup engaged and comfortable. Knowing Jax was in such great hands allowed me to actually relax — something I honestly didn’t think was possible when leaving my dog with someone new. He stayed in my home and was incredibly respectful of my space. Everything was exactly as I left it, and he followed all of Jax’s routines perfectly. It felt like Jax got a little vacation of his own. Thomas gave me a level of peace of mind I didn’t think I’d ever have with a sitter. My initial apprehension about leaving my dog with someone new is completely gone and that is entirely because of him. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Thomas. He is responsible, kind, attentive, communicative, and genuinely exceptional at what he does. If you’re looking for a sitter who will treat your dog like family, look no further. Thomas is your guy, and I will absolutely be using him any chance I get.

Alyssa took care of Luna at her home while we were on vacation for four days/three nights. Luna took to her immediately and it was clear that Alyssa has a lot of love and experience with dogs. She was loving and caring and sent us a photo of Luna twice daily with a sweet and fun caption. Alyssa has a wonderful dog, Ace, and Luna and Ace played well together in her spacious fenced in back yard. We were comfortable and enjoyed our time away, knowing that Luna was loved, well taken care of and also well exercised. She had a sweet playmate with Ace the whole time which is a real bonus! We will definitely ask Alyssa again to take care of Luna, when we have to travel without her. Thank you Alyssa for taking care so wonderfully of our Luna !

So happy to find Marlene! We just moved to Florida and needed an in home pet sitter for our 17 year old dog. Marlene not only took exceptional care of our dog (sending us updates and photos daily) but did several other favors that were much appreciated, as a result, our trip away was worry free. Highly recommend and will absolutely use her again!

About: Having pets for over 25 years, and having done a lot of pet sitting for others, has taught me what unconditional love is. I am committed to understanding what each individual pet needs and wants and I tailor my attention to every pet accordingly. Long walks for dogs ✅ shorter walks ✅ playtime ✅ lots of cuddles ✅ no cuddles, no problem ✅ I am here to care for animals the way they like, as it is all about them. I always walk the dogs at their pace and they can stop and sniff as much as they want ❤️ Working for myself, and two days part-time outside my home, offers ample time to care for your pet, whether in your home or mine. I have a big yard for your puppers to play and take long walks everyday...I would love to have your dog along on my neighborhood treks. I also like to load them up in the truck and drive to new, unexplored parts of town...new sights and sounds and smells to keep our awareness sharp.

About: I truly love animals and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means going on long walks, sticking to a routine, or simply providing companionship. I currently work evenings, which means I’m available during the day before 4 PM, 7 days a week! I understand that many pet owners need a reliable dog walker or pet sitter while they are at work, so my schedule works especially well for daytime walks and check-ins. I am also available for pet sitting throughout the week, including overnight stays. I care for pets by making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while keeping their normal routines as consistent as possible. I can maintain specialized feeding schedules and meals, provide walks and exercise for dogs of all energy levels, and make sure pets get plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day.

Cara is an excellent sitter and made my first experience with Rover a great one. We received photo and video updates our our dogs throughout the duration of our travel and she is very responsive to text messages. She was able to make mid-day trips to care for our puppy who is on a more frequent eating and potty schedule. Cara was even flexible with her own vacation schedule to ensure our pets were cared for upon our return. I highly recommend Cara. She will be the first person I contact for future pet sitting needs.

Taytumn stayed over at our house for a week to watch our dog Ty. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and I could tell that Ty was well taken care of. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She left our house in great condition as well. Would definitely have Taytumn back to watch Ty and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

Emilia was absolutely amazing with my pets. She kept my dog overnight and made sure she had plenty of backyard time, love, and attention. She also visited my cats every day for a few hours and made sure they were comfortable, cared for, and never lonely. Her communication was great — she sent pictures and kept me updated through each day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I felt completely confident that my pets were in great hands. I would 100% book her again.

This was our second time booking with Katie, and this stay was for a much longer international trip—9 nights in total. Knowing we’d be so far from home, and that getting back quickly would be difficult if anything went wrong, definitely gave me some anxiety beforehand. I’m happy to say that Katie once again exceeded our expectations. She took exceptional care of Fitz and our home, kept everything neat and tidy, communicated regularly throughout our trip, and sent plenty of photos and updates. Her reliability and attention to detail allowed us to completely relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about how things were going at home. Katie has a wonderful, calming presence with animals and genuinely cares for them as if they were her own. I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for pet care. We’ve even had family members watch Fitz in the past, and Katie unquestionably does a better job. 😂 We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and will absolutely book with her again.

Alix was so great with our hound, Mo. He can be a handful of emotion, but from the moment he met her, it was clear that she knew how to manage him. Alix was communicative throughout the 5-day stay and Mo seemed happy and healthy upon return. And I'm pretty sure the house was cleaner than we left it :) Would definitely book with Alix again.
