“It’s hard to find reliable pet sitters who show up on time and follow directions so we’re so glad we found Ashlee!! She was great and we’ll definitely book her again.”
“This is our second time booking with Stacey, she is awesome. Our dogs love her and she takes such good care of them. She was available on short notice for us and we are thankful. Our big dog made a mess when he escaped his area and she graciously cleaned it up. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Nichole was a wonder sitter for our 4 day vacation. She dropped in on our animals 3x a day and left detailed notes each visit along with photos of everything. It was so great being able to relax knowing everything at home was being taken care of. We will definitely be using her for our next vacation. Thank you, Nichole!”
“Stacy was not only a great drop-in sitter, taking care of Chuck while I was away, she was incredibly patient and understanding while I went through an emergency that forced me to make several scheduling changes. Stacy will be my first choice as a drop-in sitter the next time a need arises. Thanks again!”
“Miss Ariana has been great with both of my pups. One recently had flare ups for ivdd and had needed more gentle care while my other pup is still extremely active and she was able to accommodate to both their needs. She’s great at following instructions and communicating what is needed for a Successful visit.”
“How are there not more stars to give?! 10/10. Extremely reliable. We had an emergency where our sitter wasn't able to come due to work complications(not their fault and they messaged asap, but couldn't make the overnight) . And at literally 9:30pm I messaged her frantic not knowing what to do and she went and stayed with our sweet boy for way more time than we could even hope for. And came back this morning to let him out and just love on him a bit. She truly cares for animals, not grossed out by smells: unfortunately, our dog had an accident in his crate. She cleaned him up, cleaned the crate and was able to replace bedding with others we had nearby. Truly caring for his health, environment and mental well being. Great communicator and absolutely will love your pet like her first born child. Cannot say enough good things about this sitter. Worth every penny!”

“This was my first time using Rover for our babies and Rose made me feel at ease leaving our two cats in her care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harker Heights
Natalia makes it possible for us to take trips. My cat has some medical issues that require medication and keeping track of his urine output. Natalia provided detailed notes and sent plenty of pics to keep me up to date on his health and to ease my worries. She knows I’m a bit of a worrier. I could see in the pictures that my cat enjoyed his time with her each day, and they have really bonded. She plays with him and sits with him, giving him lots of pets. And he is not a cat who will let just anyone pet him. If you want someone to care for your pet with loving attention and who is 100% reliable, I can highly recommend Natalia.
Jadyn is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is incredibly reliable and made me feel at ease from the very first moment I met her. I immediately felt comfortable that my dog was in good hands, and it was clear that he felt comfortable with her from our first encounter as well. Jadyn is kind, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for someone dependable and great with pets. She is truly great at what she does!
Stacey was great. She was punctual and always spent her time being meticulous. She changed litter, food and water and took time to snap pictures and was thoughtful enough to turn on/ off lights and TV to entertain the cats. I was very greatful for the care and attention she showed our purrfect pets.

Ashleigh is wonderful. I considered not leaving a review because if everyone knew what a tremendous sitter Ashleigh is, she wouldn’t have time to sit for me. But that wouldn’t be fair. If you hire Ashleigh as a sitter, you’ll never want anyone else to care for your pet(s).
Maya D. Is by far the best dog caretaker I have ever worked with. She truly loves helping animals and cares for mine so well. She handles medication and temperaments like a boss. When I had two male dogs that needed to be separated at all times and still be taken out and cared for she did not hesitate to help and not once was there contact or concerns. These are the best words that I have and they are still not enough! Thank you so much Maya.
Super fast responses and made sure to check on each cat regardless of if they came out or not. Was willing to change plans on very short notice which was a life saver. Kept me updated with pictures every visit and will definitely ask to pet sit again if I ever need!
Alexus has watched our dogs twice now and she has been amazing! One of our dogs had an injury needing a little extra care and oral medication - and she cared for them perfectly! Our minds are put at ease with her updates at each visit and pictures as well. Huge plus that she is a vet tech and as a veterinarian, this brings a great level of comfort knowing that she has the knowledge and skills to provide amazing care! Definitely recommend her! :)
