“Lee house sat with out diabetic cat for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. He did an excellent job taking care of our cat and communicated frequently throughout the weeks! He was also able to give her her insulin and feedings on a regular schedule with no concerns and left a beautiful drawing of her when we came back!”
“Beth was wonderful. She took the time to meet our crew in advance, she stayed in touch while we were gone and was flexible when we unexpectedly had our trip delayed a day. We plan to reach out again for any future pet sitting needs!”
“Haley is the best dog sitter and dog walker ever! She’s so attentive with our fur babies. Haley sends updates to ease your mind while you’re traveling. I’m just beyond happy and grateful for her. Haley is our dog’s bestie and our older cat loves to curl up next to her!!! Huge plus! Thank you again Haley for being so amazing!”
“Christina if fantastic! She took care of my pup like her was her own. She's a sweetheart and will give your fur family the best care. Absolutely will be booking her again and I would highly recommend her.”
“Fantastic! Scott was ann absolute lifesaver and helped me when I was In a crunch. He promptly responded to a last minute request . He toolk such good care of my pup Lily, who has separation anxiety. He walked Lily and made her feel comfortable and at ease. My pup was in great hands with Scott, who is an extremely flexible, reliable sitter. Thank you so much, Scott!!”
“Our original sitter canceled the day before our trip, and we were so relieved that Brittany was available last minute. She arranged a meet and greet the same day we reached out and started the booking the very next day. She took amazing care of our two dogs and two cats while we were away for three days and sent regular updates. We’re so grateful and will definitely book with her again!”
“Gwen was absolutely wonderful with Chevy! She followed all instructions to a T, sent us tons of sweet updates and photos, and left our home spotless. Chevy was clearly happy and well cared for—we could tell he felt totally at ease. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and would welcome her back anytime!”
“He did an amazing job! Left the home in great condition and took really good care of our pets while we were out of the country for 12 days. Good communication. Will book again.”
“Christina did a great job watching my dogs. We had a good meeting before I booked with her and I could tell right away how comfortable my 2dogs were with her. She texted me when she got to my house, sent pictures and texted again the next morning early to let me know the dogs had breakfast and had been outside. She confirmed both our meetings before I booked and confirmed the dog sitting as well which I really appreciated. I will definately use Christina again.”
“Super friendly, asked all the right questions to make sure my little old lady would have everything she needed. Got pictures and updates. Will 10000% be calling Ariana back for our next trip.”
“If you are looking for someone to stay in your home and give lots of love and care for your pet, Jillian is just wonderful and I would highly recommend!! What was unique about Jillian is that she stayed in our home the entire time. She followed all of my instructions, provided daily updates and pictures and when she left, she washed the linens and the home was clean and tidy. She may not be able to provide the fast, active walk with your pet, but she is fully capable to walk and play with your pet. I ended up booking another dog walker separately for a more active walk. This arrangement worked perfectly for me and worth the additional cost, as I would rather have my dog be with a loving sitter in my home where my dog was not left alone than having more dog walks. I will definitely be booking Jillian again! She was a joy to work with and I know she made my dog feel safe and loved. Thank you.”
“Tanya was the best. She stayed at our house watched our pets and house for a week. We have a dog with severe mobility issues, an 18 year old cat and 2 younger cats — all with unique needs and 2 that require meds. She was so wonderful with our fur family and home. HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone who cares about their pets being well taken care of and loved. She also dealt with packages and cleaning people and day to day household responsibilities with ease. She sent us pictures and kept us updated daily. Thank you!!!”
“We were happy with the accommodations that was provided for us and our pup . It helped us enjoy our day knowing he was safe . Friendly , kind and awesome care was given and we are lucky to have found her”
“Sydney was a huge help for my family as we needed a sitter for Easter weekend. She visited my girls multiple times and ensured that they were fed. She made sure that they got plenty of time to play and eat treats and provided clear communication to us. I would like to note that I would have appreciated if she wiped the paws of the pups after coming from outside due to the odor. When we came home after the weekend there was a noticeable stench from this. Other than that great job Sydney. Thank you very much.”
About: I have always had pets in my life. All of them were cats, but as a career nanny I have spent time with dogs too. I work full day, 5 days a week as a career nanny, so my only available days are the weekends. I can come over to your house and sleep over if needed for dog sitting. I haven't done any dog sitting yet, but for the cats I can clean the litter box, replenish food and water and socialise with them for a while. I will follow any instructions left by the owner.
“Let me start by saying, we have never left Jeff with anyone but family. But because of unforeseen circumstances, Lindsey became his first caregiver, and I cannot speak highly enough about her and the experience we had with Rover. Jeff is a spunky, 14-year-old, spoiled, fussy, Yorkshire Terrier. Jeff was born in our home; we had both his mother and Father. He has never been alone (without us) since their passing. We planned a family vacation to Hawaii over a year ago and at the last minute our plans fell through with my Neice, and she could not watch him. We were ready to cancel. I had heard of ROVER and decided to look into their services. After going through a lot of candidates to choose from, I found Lindsey. She set up a meet and greet and we all met in our home. Lindsey and Jeff instantly became friends, and I started to feel a little better. We all even took a walk in the neighborhood with Jeff so I could see how he would react to her. Two days before we were set to leave, Lindsey reached out to see how we were doing and reassured us that Jeff would be in good hands. She communicated through the entire process and whole time we were away. She was prompt and so friendly and really knew how to make Jeff feel at ease. Throughout the vacation (11 days), she sent updates, pictures and let us know that he was behaving, eating, drinking, and successful on all his walks. She took pictures and sent them to us EVERY DAY. I can't tell you how relived we were that Jeff was in her care. We had a wonderful trip to Hawaii because we honestly felt Jeff was in the best hands and in his own home with all his familiar surroundings. We can now look forward to more family vacations with our Grandchildren knowing that Lindsey is here to take care of Jeff. Thank you so much, Lindsey... you helped put our mind at ease and took care of our little pup better than we could have imagined. If you are reading this review, and have anxiety about leaving your pup, I urge you to contact Lindsey so she can show you how truly amazing she is! Aloha!”

Tanya was wonderful. She was so amazing caring for my older dog Rocky for 8 days. He had a couple of health issues come up, but she notified me right away with pictures and Rocky was lovingly take care of. I was not worried at all. Tanya is definitely a pet lover and showed me pictures of her snuggling with my dog. I would recommend Tanya highly, she was awesome and so fun to work with. Great personality and so positive. I hope to have her help me out again in the future. Thank you so much Tanya!!!!
Scott kept my high-energy and extremely affectionate-needy dog alive and happy. We came home to an exhausted dog and a house that was still standing. Due to a medical emergency, Scott had to stay elsewhere for a brief part of the stay, but he handled alternative arrangements and checked in regularly. Thank you, Scott!
Celeste did an amazing job making our pups feel comfortable with her. They normally take a couple of days to warm up and even eat regularly. Our chihuahua ate the first day!! She went regular updates and pics and we are so glad we had her in our home while we were away. I will definitely check with her again when we need a sitter.
I have had to travel a couple times over the last year, using different rover sitters with not great experiences. I am so grateful to have come across Cristina. I was gone for a little over a week out of the country and she was so great with updating me with photos and progress reports on my dog. My dog is deaf and sometimes gets anxiety when i leave the house for a trip and Cristina was so gentle with her. I felt completely comfortable with her in my home and I know my dog got the best care. If she is available, always always book her!!!
