“Tenay did such a wonderful job taking care of all four of our fur kids. She sent us pictures and updates regularly. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter”


“Elizabeth did a wonderful job taking care of our dog for the week while we were out of town. She not only took care of our dog but also kept our home clean and tidy. She is very responsive and willing to help out with any request. Would definitely book her again.”


“Samantha was far beyond our expectations and everything and more of what we hoped for! Our babies were well cared for and she went above and beyond in keeping us informed on a daily basis. We would highly recommend her.”


“Tyler was amazing! This was our first time leaving our 2 Pitt Bulls, who has to be kept separated. One highly aggressive and does not like strangers. Tyler had 9 days, a hurricane, a delayed flight, no electricity, and she kept the lines of communication open and the pictures coming. My babies were safe and happy. Both dogs fell in love with her. I will definitely use Tyler again!”


“Lena was wonderful. Our dogs were very well cared for and we received several pictures each day where they appeared to be very happy. She followed several directions for medications and different foods for each pet. She is highly recommended!”


“Chelsy was very communicative, was able to accommodate a extra night last minute and I had no worries while I was gone. I have 3 dogs, ages 7-14, with varying health issues and meds, Chelsy took care that all my instructions were followed. She had a extra challenge with it being NYE and one of my boys being terrified of loud noises (fireworks, storms, etc). Highly recommend and will use again!!!”


“David was our first house sitter and he did a great job walking with us through getting started. He was thorough in preparing for the sit, asking us questions and listening to answers, and thinking of things we didn’t. He communicated well throughout the sit. After the sit, our pets were calm and relaxed. It made a huge difference being able to leave them in their own environment with someone who really cared about them. We will definitely call on David again!”


“Very professional and loving to my boys! Would rebook with Laiken again.”


About: I have had any kind of animal you can think of ever since I was a kid. I love all animals even the creepy crawlers and animals tend to love me! I have house sat for multiple neighbors and friends with dogs and cats! My daily routine consists of me taking care of animals, the commitment to our furry friends is one I completely understand and find joy in so if you cant be there I can! I have a yard at my home and take my dogs on daily walks and would do the same for your pup! I have also worked with crated dogs and reactive dogs as well! I will follow whatever guidelines and norms you and your dog are used too! Whatever is best for them!

“Highly recommend! Alayja took good care of my dog and was very responsive.”


“Chloé was wonderful! Hands down the best Rover experience we have ever had. She was communicative and sent us plenty of updates. Our cats and dogs were well cared for, and we had peace of mind. We will absolutely be using Chloé in the future!”

“Janee was a perfect pet sitter for our two dogs and gecko. She sent great pictures and videos every day. Timely, thorough and dependable! Dogs were healthy and happy even after this longer than typical trip for us. Would definitely recommend Janee!!”


“We love Kristen! She is super responsible, follows our instructions to the letter, and seems genuinely caring toward our dogs. She updated us constantly about what was going on with the dogs and at the house! She is extremely competent. She was comfortable with giving both of our dogs medications. This was one of the first Rover sitters I used where I felt completely at ease and not constantly worried. We recommend Kristen!”


“Lindsey is absolutely a wonderful sitter for our pup! She takes excellent care of our home too. We love having her sit for our golden doodle puppy!! We highly recommend her!”


About: Ive been having animals from dogs and cats various sizes and breeds since i was a kid, will take the best possible care of yours. i have time currently to accommodate pets for any time when you’re out of town or unavailable to watch them yourself, available monday through sunday i care for the pets in by taking them out frequently, paying close attention to them when outside, even while having a fenced in yard.

About: I’ve picked up many animals on the side of the road, including raccoons who just need a little bit of love! I am very an understanding of Dogs’ and Cats’ based on body language!!! I currently work part time at a restaurant and am a full time student, but stopping by twice a day for a feeding and walk wouldn’t be a problem! I would prefer to cat-sit due to cats being on a different schedule than dogs. I can still make time to play with the cat pending on the personality. I am open to take off of work to walk your dogs and give them the stimulation needed! I live in the middle of nowhere, so my pets are free range. My two dogs play with each other all day, my cats also enjoy catching the mice and moles! When I go to a coworkers house to pet sit, I follow their instructions of how much to feed them and how often as well as walking times!! It just depends on the pet, personality and owner’s location!!

“Lama is exceptional. I have used multiple sitters for my dogs in the past, and she has been the best by far. Her daily photo updates were comforting and the photos themselves were amazing! I can tell my dogs were happy and well taken care of. I recommend her without hesitation and sincerely hope to have her back next time we need housesitting”
