“My first time using Ericka to watch my dog Toby and I'm very pleased with the job she did. She sent me pictures of Toby each day which I enjoyed receiving. Toby requires eye drops 5 times per day so it's a bit of work to care for him. Also pleased that the house was in good order when I returned. I hope to use Ericka again in the future.”
“Mamie was a great sitter and I will rebook with her next time we are in need of someone to watch our pets. She checked in at least twice each day with updates and photos, took our dog for daily walks, and gave our pets the care they needed while we were away. I would recommend booking with Mamie to care for your pets.”
“We are so grateful to have had Allison stay with our Corgi while we were away for a week. Our dog has anxiety and typically becomes very stressed while we are away, but Allison stayed at our home, followed his usual routine as closely as possible, and made sure to give him some extra love. She would check-in with us daily to let us know how things were going and would ask questions if she was unsure of something. She was respectful with our home and belongings and made sure to leave things nice and tidy for our return. As someone who tends to leave a lot of instructions when it comes to staying with our dogs, I can’t recommend Allison enough! She truly made us feel comfortable that she had things under control so that we could enjoy our vacation.”
“Hannah took care of our cat and dog while we were away and everything went so smoothly. She was in touch regularly with updates and didn’t hesitate to ask any questions that she had, making for a smooth week for the pup and kitty!”
“Natalie took amazing care of our dogs while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon. One of our dogs can be a little standoffish with new people but they both took to her immediately. The daily updates were such a relief and allowed us one less thing to stress about! Our home was immaculate when we returned. Would definitely book again!!!”
“Sadie was great. She was available last minute to watch our dog over a holiday weekend and was able to do a meet and greet within a short amount of time. Sadie took great care of our dog, Schenley while we were away.”
“Alyssa was amazing! We went away for a weekend and she stayed with our (needy, dramatic, loving, sweet) old dog. Our dog loves her and seemed to take to her immediately. We’ll definitely work with Alyssa again”
“Myah was great from the moment I contacted her she got back to me right away and did a meet and greet promptly! While I was away she was there consistently everyday and loved my baby like he was her own and had respect for my house as well.”
About: I have a degree in Zoology so I have a love for and knowledge of how to care for pets of many different species. I personally have had my dog for 16 years and have also had fish and 2 hamsters. I also used to work at a dog daycare so I am used to and very comfortable with dogs of any size. I am also a professional pet flight nanny with Coris Pet Journeys. I’m available for check ins anytime during the weekends and most evenings during the work week. I am also usually available most holidays to watch your furry family members. I will care for your pets just as you would. I always make sure they have fresh water and are given plenty of potty breaks. If they have a certain routine they do every morning/night I will do my best to replicate that so your pet is as comfortable as possible while you are away.
“Hannah is responsive and communicated well. She was available on short notice and was able to do a meet and greet prior to watching the gals this weekend. She sent pictures and updates and left the house as she found it.”
“Jen is absolutely incredible. She took care of my pup so well, he was sad to see her go! She sent texts and picture updates every day so I could see how things were going. And on top of all that, she also handled some household issues that came up while I was away. Jen is truly the kindest person and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Kristie is thoughtful and lovely. She is an extremely considerate pet sitter. Dixon and Bit almost didn’t want us to come home. They had a great time with her. Dixon was brushed and petted and generally extremely happy. I’m thrilled. We will love to have her stay with our fur babies again”
“Sydney did an AMAZING job watching our dogs. We have one reactive dog and there was some tension in our house between dogs, plus two have medical needs. so I was so so nervous to leave them. Sydney followed all my instructions and she even watched for signs of tension, healthy play, etc. Truly above and beyond—she spent a ton of time at my house and I came back to very happy dogs. Would definitely recommend her to folks like me with dogs that require a sitter who pays extra attention and care!”
“Becca is an awesome pet sitter! She immediately attached to our dog who is very nervous and sometimes doesn’t like people. She was so supportive of his needs.”
“Gemma did an amazing job watching Jacks and Mia. She checked in regularly and sent videos and pictures to keep me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. She took them on nice walks and made sure they were happy and well cared for. She truly went above and beyond .”
“Elise was great with our dog, Macaroni. Mac was going through some unexpected separation anxiety while we were out of town and Elise provided great care for her and communication with us. We greatly appreciated all of her patience with and concern for our pup. She provided us with detailed updates and lots of pics during the week.”
About: I've been dog sitting for neighbors, friends, and Family since my senior year of High School. I have dogs watched all sized dogs . I love dogs, dogs love me. I think animals are better than humans. I will spoil them with walks, love and treats while they are in my care. Recently let go from my work at a non profit. Thinking my of next move. Have free time now. Need something to do while I figure out my next move. I don't have a fenced in yard but I live on a flat easy walkable street. Im also a few miles away from several different parks. Your pets are welcome to lay and sleep on the furniture (its use to it) I have a big front window they can look out if they like. I can give them meds and shots if needed.
“Jessica was great! She stayed in our apartment with our dog and cat while we were away! She gave us daily updates on our pets! They were very well taken care of and we came home to a clean apartment exactly how we left it :)”
Heidelberg pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot recommend Lindsey enough. She stayed with my dogs over Christmas and New Year’s and went truly above and beyond. She left my house absolutely spotless and took incredible care of my dogs, treating them like her own. While we were away, one of my dogs had an unexpected reaction to her seizure medication and needed to be hospitalized. Lindsey handled the situation with such calm, care, and professionalism. Her communication was excellent, she kept me informed every step of the way, asked thoughtful questions, and worked closely with the vet and me. Because of her, I had complete peace of mind during what could have been an incredibly stressful situation and was still able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was in the best possible hands. Lindsey is responsible, compassionate, trustworthy, and very experienced with pets. I am beyond grateful for her and would absolutely hire her again without hesitation. Any pet would be lucky to have her as a sitter!
Shawnee was so wonderful with our dog Benny. He is an older dog with separation anxiety so we always feel a little nervous leaving him but Shawnee’s excellent communication, kindness and professionalism put us at ease. She followed all of our care instructions and took the time to get to know and meet his needs. I especially appreciated the photos and updates she sent throughout the stay—I could tell he warmed up to her and did well while we were away. We will definitely be using her again!
We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for Rex. He stayed with Kasey and Alyssa over Christmas and was treated like part of the family. He even received a Christmas gift. Rex had a wonderful time playing with their cats and dogs, and it was clear he felt comfortable, happy, and loved the entire stay. They are incredibly caring, attentive, and thoughtful, and kept us at ease knowing Rex was in such good hands. We are truly grateful for the love and care they gave him and would absolutely recommend them to anyone. We will definitely book with them again!
Katrina was absolutely wonderful! We loved her and our dog bear loved her! She provided overnight care for our beloved dog. She was spunky and fun! She was responsible and reliable and such a happy personality! She treated Bear like family! she clearly demonstrated that she is an animal lover! we will definitely use her again!
Gemma did an amazing job watching Jacks and Mia. She checked in regularly and sent videos and pictures to keep me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. She took them on nice walks and made sure they were happy and well cared for. She truly went above and beyond .
