“Brigid was amazing with my little Peach. She took great care of her and gave her lots of affection. Knowing Peach was with Brigid gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her!”
“Maegan and her family were great sitters to my pug Sofia! I was sent plenty of pictures and I know she was cared for and loved dearly during my long 12 night trip away. Thank you for caring for her!”
“This was our first time booking with Kyle, and she was great! Our pup can be rather anxious initially when going somewhere new, but she relaxed very quickly with Kyle. Kyle was always responsive and reassuring, and sent lots of photo updates. Traveling is hard for me because I hate being away from my "kids", but I was able to relax and enjoy my scheduled time away because of Kyle. Ripley can't wait to book again!”
“I once again couldn't be happier that I found Mark & Sylva to watch my boys Buddy & Connor. This is the 2nd time they've watched my boys and once again I'm deeply appreciative of the attention and care they give my babies. The pictures and daily updates eased my worries about being gone. I would recommend them to watch your fur babies over and over again.”
“I felt very comfortable knowing my fur baby was in capable and caring hands with Cheryle! Poppy absolutely loves visiting and hanging out with Jester and Cheryle was very understanding about delays that came up in my travel plans and was very flexible. Definitely my go to sitter!”
“My dog can be anxious and shy around new people, so I felt incredibly guilty and worried when I dropped him off at Stephanie’s home for boarding for a last minute overnight work trip. But Stephanie was fantastic and very communicative while my dog was with her. She sent frequent updates and lots of pictures of him through out his stay that ease my mind and made me feel less guilty about leaving him with a stranger. And the biggest vote of confidence were all the pictures of him cuddling with her. I will definitely use her for future trips and dog walking in general.”
“Jayla was sooo sweet with my boy! He has separation anxiety and I can tell Jayla was very attentive and gave the best care for him. Can't thank Jayla enough:)”
“Emily was so great watching our pup Jax! We got multiple updates with pictures daily about his walks, playtime and all the cuddles. Highly recommend, Jax can’t wait for his next sleepover!”
“Extremely good pet sitter. My elderly dog stayed over thanksgiving break and I got frequent updates/pictures. Very intuitive about my dog’s wants/needs. You would struggle finding a better person to take care of your animals, especially if you have a dog with a big personality.”
“If there were more stars that I could give Vera, I would do that!❤️ I was going on vacation for four days and needed to find a boarder and this is the first time that I have ever went away. I met and chose Vera and am sooooo glad that I did. She erased any anxiety that I had and was an AWESOME pet sitter!!!! She gives daily updates with photos and videos so you can see how your fur baby is doing. I will definitely use her again in the future for anything.”
“We couldn’t have wished for a better person/place for our 4month old lab Luna to have her first sleepover! Lori was incredibly sweet, kind, patient and her pup Rees is a sweetheart! Thank you Lori for making the best experience, we will definitely be visiting you again!!”
“We are so thankful for the fantastic experience we had leaving our pup with Chelsea and Christopher! We will definitely be asking them to dog sit for us again. Perry was so well cared for and the pictures and updates were very much appreciated! They truly went above and beyond! 😊”
“I had to find a last minute sitter for my 2 dogs and was truly panicking because I usually interview any potential sitters. I found this lovely couple on Rover and they were responsive, very empathetic and reassuring. I was sent updates and pictures and I can highly recommend them to care for your animal. Will be utilizing them in the future.”
“Our dog Dax literally danced in the back seat of the car when we pulled onto Kristine and Robert’s street! Dax is always excited to see them and his buddy Finn, and we are always assured he is in the best hands.”
About: I had dog walk for number of years and had work seasonally at a pet company before. I am confident I can take care of your dog while you ar away. It is going to be a part time gig for me, I can do most evenings and weekends; During weekday, I can start my services after 6pm and anytime at weekend. I will do my best to ensure I follow your instruction and provide on time updates of your dog and most importantly the pet will have my full attention during my services.
“I was really nervous to leave my puppies with John because of their fear of strangers, but John made them feel comfortable right away. On the second day, I received pictures of John snuggling with my timid pups. They were well taken care of and I felt reassured that they were in good hands. We will definitely be using him again in the future. Highly recommend! We give an eight paw rating!”
“Both Serhii & Olesia were both extremely caring of Keeper and followed instructions very carefully so my vacation was stressfree. I highly recommend them for your future needs!”
“Christopher and his wife took great care of my Penny. She had trouble going up the stairs (she is 12 years old, which is a lot for a bulldog!), so Christopher actually carried her up after every walk (and she’s not light!). They sent pictures and updates every day, and just overall a very lovely and caring couple!”
About: I've house sat for my friends dog who has anxiety for the last few years. I'm grew up with and am comfortable with big dogs. I work part time morning shifts Sunday through Wednesday and Night Shifts Friday so I'm able to spend long periods of time with your dog. I know to keep the dog on the leash at all times unless safe to do otherwise, I'm great at following plans for specific needs.

Helderberg dog parents share their Rover experiences
She was so accommodating of my dogs needs and personality. She made sure he was fed on time, walked, and ready for pick up. She responds quick to all messages, and was able to fit me in last minute. She made sure to send cute videos of him and kept me updated on their day. I would highly recommend her as a great sitter. I’m definitely going to ask her to watch my dog again! :)
Our family enjoyed a few day trips confident that our dog was in Emer's capable hands. Ranger came home relaxed and in good spirits each time having gotten exercise and enjoying the company of other dogs. Communication was good as well as drop off and pick up. We recommend Emer G.
Emily was so fantastic with my rotti, Kenna. She is a rescue who has been with me for 5 years, but had a few homes before, and never been away from me overnight, so I was a little nervous about leaving her. Emily was very reassuring and they got along at the initial meet and greet and I could see that Emily has a very calm demeanor that is great for an anxious doggo. While I was away she sent me daily updates with lots of pictures and let me know how my girl was doing which I definitely appreciated. I would definitely recommend Emily and trust her to watch my pup in the future.
