“Robert was our first experience here at Rover and he was great to work with. He offer to come to our house earlier to meet with our guys, even though our booking was kinda last minute. Our dogs suffers from separation anxiety and are very vocal, but Robert was very patient with them and won them over. We would definitely recommend him to anybody looking for somebody reliable to watch over their pets and we would love to work with him again!”

“Josh was great! He was responsive to our needs. Athena was very at ease with him and he took her on a couple of runs. We will definitely use Josh the next time we leave town!”

“Mary stayed at our house for 10 days to take care of our dog while we were on vacation. It was nice to get some photos and videos and we felt he was taken care off. She left the house organized and we liked the communication from Mary. We will definitely ask her again if need be!”

“Askley dog sitted at our house for the weekend. She was very responsive to initial inquiry as well as continued communication. She was professional yet very friendly and asked appropriate questions about our dogs . Our dogs are quite a handful but she developed a fast relationship with them. She sent pictures and brief update daily. So glad we found an amazing caregiver thru Rover!”

“Eric is first and foremost a very kind person. He is obviously a pet lover, and our dog Daisy enjoys being the beneficiary of his attention. In fact,this morning she was looking for him, and I had to convince her to eat her breakfast! Eric is also great at staying in touch. I never have to wonder how things are going as there are photos and notes to reassure me. I guess I am a helicopter pet mom, so this is great. If I had to go on an extended trip and leave my pup, Eric would be my first and perhaps only choice. If you want to travel with confidence, look no further.”

“Cassandra was awesome - took great care of both my dog and cat, and the highest compliment I can give her is that she is incredibly kind, and normal (lol) which is exactly what you want in a pet/house sitter! Will definitely use again :)”
“Katy is so wonderful that I have to leave a second review. We’ve been going through a big transition and Katy continues to meet each of my boys where they are at. Her hyper awareness, consideration, and kindness allow me to travel and not stress about any of the boys.”


“Nate house sat for our 2 dogs and 1 cat while we were away for a week. He was really wonderful - sent regular photos and updates, took the dogs to the dog park several times, and left the house in great shape. We absolutely recommend him and will definitely rebook with him in the future!”

“Lizzie was a great in-home option for us while we were away for a few nights. I wasn’t concerned about our dogs while we were away and appreciated coming home to happy dogs! Thanks, Lizzie!”


“I booked Jen to sit my senior dog who is very sweet but particular, and she did a fantastic job. Super clearly asking about his needs and his schedule so I could go on a family trip with no worries about my boy. Super timely and clear updates with fantastic pictures that made me feel immediately comforted. I’m looking forward to booking with Jen again when Peanut needs some extra care.”

“Annmarie has watched Winston for us multiple times now. She really goes above and beyond to make sure our boy is well taken care of! Our pup is not an easy dog, and requires multiple attempts at walks and potty breaks. She's patient and caring with him - making sure all his needs are met while we're away! Not only does she take great care of Winston, she goes above and beyond to keep us updated while we're away. We're so grateful to have found such a wonderful pet sitter.”

“Ashley was wonderful - came all the way to us for a meet and greet and gave good vibes right away. Before our event, she came on time and provided updates and we felt very reassured. Our pup also loved her right away. Would recommend!”

“Sylvia did an amazing job! Everything went smoothly and she was flexible with care given the extremely cold weather. We highly recommend and will definitely be a repeat customer.”

“We feel so lucky to have found Travis - he is so responsible, conscientious, and fantastic with our dog. We have had him sit for us a few times now and will continue to request his services as often as possible! Our house gives him two thumbs, and two paws up!”

About: I have owned 4 dogs in the past 30 years; a Chihuahua/Toy Terrier, a Chihuahua/Shitzu, a Dachshund/Corgi and I recently owned a Toy Poodle - who was elderly, anxious, blind and toothless. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge and I miss her so. She was my world! My past dog sitting experience includes overnight care for; a Keeshond, a Terrier, a medium sized mixed breed, a Japanese Chin/Poodle, a Standard Poodle, a Sheltie, and a Pomeranian. Dogs are my special interest and I enjoy loving and caring for them. My 30 years of experience with different dog breeds and temperaments has shaped my ability to have realistic expectations, intentional patience and flexibility with the individual dog personalities that I have encountered. They are all good dogs and I love them all! I am available most days and evenings. I can make home visits to let your dog/s out, walk your dog/s, and/or pet sit overnight as needed. I am flexible with how I can care for your pet. My intention is to keep your dog/s in the routine that they are familiar with so that they can be the calm, happy dog/s they are destined to be. Unfortunately, I am unavailable to have your dog/s in my home because I live in an apartment.
“Ashley did a great job pet sitting for Tallee! She has been having seizures and Ashely was confident and willing to stay with her at my home. It really helped me enjoy my time away without worrying too much, knowing she was there with Tallee. I'm so happy to have her help!”


“Louisa was excellent! She was so thorough in our meet and greet making sure she was aware of any and all needs Ollie might have. Ollie loved her right away which made me feel very comfortable. Louisa was great at communicating and sent pictures during the sit which I appreciated. Highly recommend her and will certainly have her care for Ollie in the future!”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 13. Neighbors and family have relied on me to over night watch, feed, and walk their dogs. I'm currently in school but am available Monday -Thursday any time after 2pm, I am also available any time on the weekend from Friday through Sunday. I am very active and will play with and walk your pet. I am very punctional and will make sure your pet is cared for.
Heistand pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alicia stayed with our dog Hazel for a long weekend and we will definitely book her again! Hazel sometimes struggles to warm up to new people but she loved Alicia immediately during our meet & greet. Alicia asked lots of good questions to make sure she was prepared to care for Hazel, and she sent us photos every day.

I booked Jen to sit my senior dog who is very sweet but particular, and she did a fantastic job. Super clearly asking about his needs and his schedule so I could go on a family trip with no worries about my boy.

Edwin was a great dog sitter for Cosmo. He communicated with us very promptly and often. He sent pictures a few times a day and Cosmo always looked happy and content. Edwin left our house clean and in order. We would happily have him to take care of Cosmo again!

Anna is thoughtful, proactive, very capable and caring - she was a wonderful caregiver for my fur baby! She handled unexpected needs with grace, including being willing to fill out detailed daily note sheets because my kitty was needing to start a new medication. She also left my apartment cleaner than she found it and took initiative to change the sheets so that I'd come home to fresh ones. Very kind! She sent pics of my sweet kitty and took great care of him. He was super cuddly with her within a couple days, and they got along great. Highly recommend working with Anna to care for your fur baby (& plants & home)!

Payton was the dream pet sitter! She was extremely communicative, easy to work with, professional, attentive, and took amazing care of our pets. It's easy to be nervous when inviting a stranger into your home to take care of your pets, but Payton was so approachable and easy to work with from the beginning. We got photos every single day, as well as regular text updates. She even did some chores around the house such as taking our garbage bins in and some general tidying! Our pets loved her and were very well cared for.
