“Mariah took great care of my dog. We were living in a new home and she helped him to adjust and become very comfortable and confident in his new environment. She was extremely professional and easy to communicate with before and during her visits. Highly recommend her services!”
“Sophia is the best! She’s super nice and sweet, my wife and I love her! She’s punctual, respects our home, great communication, keeps you updated. Our boy Declen felt so comfortable with her. I highly recommend, she has been a life saver for us and will definitely work with again.”
“Kailee was amazing with Bear! She took him on many walks and spent every moment with him knowing he has anxiety. Bear loved her so much he actually slept with her. We will def be asking her to pet sit again.”
“Other than our miscommunication about the arrival time (it was our first time having Ryan stay with the kids) he took great care of our Big Easy & Winnie! Thank you 🩵”
“Such a wonderful sitter! He took such great care of our babies. Great communication and sent lots of pictures and videos to update us. Was willing to ask questions and took suggestions well. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely be using him again!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats for the past 8 years. Including some who needed extra care. I’m happy to help anyone in need and make sure their pets get all my love and attention. I’m currently a nursing student at the University of Tampa and am flexible with afternoons/mornings during the week. I am also available all day Friday-Sunday. I am experienced with dogs who need to be leashed, have an electric fence in the backyard or that come to when called. I have given baths/groomed, walks, runs, playing catch and cuddles.
“Carly provided an exceptional level of care, both of our elderly dog and our home. We didn’t have one worry while we traveled as she followed every request in a most conscientious manner. Our dog was so happy to have personalized home care from Carly, a true animal lover.”
About: I have cared for family, personal and neighborhood pets for the last 15+ years! I have experience with both dogs and cats will all kinds of temperaments. I grew up with a lab and two cats and currently have a 4.5 year old golden retriever :) I am currently in-between jobs, so I have an abundance of time to dedicate to your pets! I am extremely flexible with early mornings and late evenings. I am there for whatever your pet needs! I have put my dog through in-home training, so I feel I can accommodate the different needs of different animals. I feel confident walking dogs of all sizes, and can easily crate a pup if need be. I will send lots of photos and updates of your furry friends!
“Our experience with Jesse was absolutely amazing! We’ve never had someone stay at our home with our fur baby before, so we were a little nervous at the beginning, but the moment I met Jesse, I felt 100% comfortable leaving Thor and our home in her hands. She offered to come over before we left to meet us and Thor, and to go over details of the stay. She sent pictures during our trip (which I loved!) and I could tell Thor was very happy to have her there. We are so thankful to have found Jesse, and will absolutely be using her in the future! I recommend Jesse 100% !”
About: Hi everyone, My names Ellana! Im currently 20 years old and absolutely adore animals! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old and currently have a frenchie of my own back in MN! Being away from home can be tough at times but spending time with animals is really an escape for me. I love all dogs from big to small, I do have a little bias for all breeds of bulldogs though, they are my fav! I am currently looking into going into canine physical therapy as a full time role for my future:) I’d love to help out as needed so please send me a message! I am a very active student so I love being able to give dogs the time outside that they need. That being said I am always willing to stay in for some cuddles. I have weekends off from all class and job requirements so I like to fill those times with some furry friends! I have my own room and plenty of space and capacity to take dogs on adventures via car or walk! I love spoiling pups when they are with me.
About: I’m a reliable, attentive pet sitter who treats every animal with patience and care. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their routines and giving them plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m also highly responsive and happy to send regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! I work as a nanny during the day on weekdays, so I’m usually available for pet care after about 5-6pm. On weekends I have much more flexibility and am available for boarding and extended care. I love staying active and spending time outside, so I’m always happy to take dogs on walks and make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I focus on making sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines the pet is used to. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while their family is away. For me, it’s a joy to care for pets so I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special needs so I can care for them in the way that works best for them!
“Olivia was amazing! She house-sat for our two Goldens, Jackson and Parker, and took such great care of them. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She kept us updated the whole time and sent tons of pictures, which we loved. It was clear they were happy and well cared for. We would absolutely book Olivia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter”
“We had an awesome experience with William (goes by middle name Logan). One of the big things that caught our attention to his profile was that he is a trusted real estate agent in the area. Logan gave us updates every day, sending us daily pictures of our pups, took them for a long walk and kept them company while we were away. We were nervous being first time users of the app as our pups are like children, and Logan was a perfect option for us. Could not recommend him any higher. Thank you for everything Logan!”
“This was my first time Rachel took care of my dog, and I will definitely book her again. She took so good care of Snum. She understood my dogs sometimes weird behavior and worries (thunder, rain, wind etc.) she kept me informed every day, and she even cleaned my kitchen! I never worried for a second leaving Snum and my house in her care.”

I had such a great experience with Kiran! She kept me updated throughout the day and sent lots of pictures of Franklin, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much reassurance seeing how happy and comfortable he was. She was very responsive and even accommodated having a friend pick him up, which made everything super easy. She took him on long walks, played with him, and made sure he was entertained and well cared for the entire time. It truly gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while I was away on vacation. I would absolutely book with her again.
Hope was great and took excellent care of Rocky. She was responsive, easy to communicate with, and made sure he had a great time. Rocky is basically a little trash panda, but she kept a close eye on him and made sure he didn’t get into anything he shouldn’t. I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again.
We are truly grateful to Peyton for the excellent care he provided to our two dogs. Both my husband and I felt very calm and secure during our trip, knowing they were in such good hands. Peyton was always attentive, loving, and responsible. He kept us updated regularly on how they were doing, which gave us great peace of mind. It’s clear that he is a kind, respectful person with a genuine love for animals. When we returned, our dogs were calm, not anxious or distressed, which showed us they had been well cared for. We will definitely use Peyton’s services again and highly recommend him with complete confidence.
Brooke really came through for us in a pinch! After our original sitter cancelled last minute, Brooke was quick to respond and coordinate the booking. She has been very flexible, responsive and professional the whole way through. We have two high energy dogs and she knew exactly how to handle them. Our pups had such a great time with her!
This was our first time having a Rover sitter stay in our home and we had a great experience with Jaden! Both of our pets were immediately very comfortable around her, including our normally shy cat. She sent us plenty of pictures and updates and I could tell my pets were well cared for. Jaden was also very respectful of our home, leaving it neat and tidy. We will definitely book with her again in the future!
Emrick is an awesome dog sitter. She is a great communicator and went above and beyond to care for our dog. Receiving updates gave me piece of mind that our dog was doing well while we were out of town. Our original return flight was cancelled and she ensured that our dog was taken care of until we came back. I wholeheartedly recommend her and would love to have her watch our dog again.
