“I’ve used Rover a total of 3 times and never had a poor experience. Kayleigh was nothing short than amazing. We received updates for every walk, feed and in between snuggles! Highly recommend if you’re going away for the weekend and want someone to hangout in your home for the comfort of your fur babies! We tend to go out of town at least once a month and look forward to using Kayleigh again.”

“Rachael was amazing with my fur babies. It is so hard to find someone to trust but Rachael really made me feel at ease while on my trip, and my dogs made a new bff. We will definitely be booking with her again <3”


“Allison did a great job taking care of our cat, Hiccup over several days and nights! Allison was responsive, responsible and provided great updates throughout our trip! Our house looked great upon our return and we look forward to having Allison look after Hiccup in the future!”


About: “I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra care. I’ve personally raised three dogs from puppyhood through adulthood, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love pets need at every stage. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive—I know how important it is to feel confident your pet is in good hands.” “I work a 9–5 during the week, but I’m available for evening visits, as well as overnight care. Weekends are wide open for more flexible scheduling, whether your pet needs extra attention, longer walks, or extended stays.” “I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walk routines to any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel secure while you’re away. Safety is always a priority. I’m mindful about leashes, doors, and surroundings during walks, and I keep a clean, calm environment in the home. I’m also experienced with administering medications if needed. I know how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll get lots of attention and care. I make sure they feel relaxed and at home, with plenty of time for play, rest, and affection.”
“Vinnie did a great job with our anxious dog, Stax. She can sometimes be nervous with men and Vinnie went out of his way to do a meet and greet with her, as well as checking on all of her care instructions. He communicated well and we look forward to him taking care of Stax again soon.”

“We’re so glad that Asal was available to housesit our kitties again! She was once again very thoughtful, communicative, and compassionate - everything we could hope for in someone watching over our two favorite creatures. 😺😺 Thank you from Socks and Parker for another great weekend, Asal!”

“Alan was wonderful! Very kind and thoughtful , and our goofy senior labrador loved spending time with him. Timely and professional, we highly recommend Alan to take good care of you pet!”

“Amelia had been wonderful watching Honeybear. I haven’t left her alone this long before. Daily check ins with pix and sweet messages on their relaxing days. I could enjoy my trip knowing she was well taken care of. Thanks so much. Will hope you can watch her for my future trips.”

“My shy, nervous pup loved Eve!! She was very patient with him and demonstrated a lot of expertise in reading dog body language. We will definitely be booking with Eve in the future!”

“Claire took care of our 3 dogs for the day we were out of town. She was awesome! Punctual and was able to gain the confidence of our fearful little guy in no time. She played with them in the yard to get them comfortable around her and the rest is history. She kept us updated throughout the day of how they were doing and our pack loved her. Thank you Claire!”

“Kristen was an amazing dog sitter. She took great care of the dogs and updated me regularly on how they were doing. She so took great care of my home. She is great with the dogs and looks out for their every need”

“Sierra was fantastic. My dogs were happy, healthy and good when I came back home. One was having accidents inside before I left and Sierra had them on such a good schedule he didn’t have any. 10/10 I recommend her to anyone that’s looking for fantastic pet care!”

“Rosemary took great care of my dog Beau. While I was away she provided me updates and pictures which made me feel at ease while I was away. When I came home the house was clean and tidy. I appreciate the love and care that Rosemary gave my boy.”
“I loved having Leo watch my dog and cats. They seemed to love him as well. My dog, Monty was happily exhausted when I got home from vacation. Leo sent me regular pictures and updates of how well they were doing. Additionally, he was respectful of my home, cleaned up after himself and put everything back in its place. I am always nervous when going away and leaving my pets and house in someone else's hands. Leo alleviates those nerves, and I would love to use him again.”

“Jennifer did a great job watching our puppy while we were out of town for the week! She sent updates and pictures and you could tell she was treating our puppy like her own. She was very quick to respond throughout the week and was quick to schedule our meet and greet. Would definitely recommend and will happily be using her in the future!”

“Allegra was amazing!! Probably the best dog sitter we've ever had. Very communicative, flexible, and on top of things (plus my dogs loved her). If you want to have a stress-free time, you should totally hire Allegra to watch your pets. I know that if I ever need a sitter in the future, she is going to be who I go to first.”

“Brianna is amazing! This was my first time using Rover as my kennel experiences haven’t been the best lately and knowing my boy is much happier at home I was so thankful I found Brianna! She has a great personality! Ace loves her and after getting home I can tell he was way more at ease than the past couple of times I left him in the care of others. She was punctual and sent updates and pics throughout her stay which is very comforting when you worry about your four legged baby as much as I do! She took care of our home and even left it a bit tidier than I did!! I have already booked her again and as much as I want to keep her all to myself she deserves a great review!”

“Jake was awesome! He came by and was so sweet meeting my dogs and listening to what their routine was and he sent me multiple photos each day of my dogs. He was so great with them and was very respectful of my anxiety of leaving them for the first time. I would absolutely recommend and rebook Jake should I ever need a dog sitter again.”

About: As someone who works remotely, I'm fortunate to have the flexibility to be available whenever your pup needs attention, whether it's for a walk in the park, some playtime, or just a reassuring presence while you're away. Your dog's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I look forward to providing them with the love and care they deserve during our time together. I’m very flexible! I work remotely so I can care for your pet at any time, anywhere. Since I am home all day I have plenty of time to tend for your pet! I live in a pet friendly apartment with a dog park and dog spa in my building! I have no problem hosting your pup at my space.

“Joanne instantly bonded with my pets and it was obvious that they were very relaxed and happy in the photos she sent. She gave them little bandanas and treats. She is very conscientious and a good communicator. She left the house very clean. Would recommend!”

Kimberly was incredible with our dogs! She went above and beyond, not just in caring for our babies, but also for helping with a surprise delivery while we were out of town! She kept us updated, and even had goodie bags for our pups at the end of her stay with them! I can’t recommend her enough!

Kendall was amazing! She gave very good daily updates with several photos. I could tell my babies were taken care of and loved on. She got them goodies (after asking my permission to do so) and when I got home from the trip there was a baggie with an overall report card for each dog, a printed collage of photos she had taken of them, and cookies for each dog. Overall the best pet sitting experience we have had from Rover to-date!

Rosemary was fantastic. She arrived on time and spent some time reviewing instructions for our pup. Sent photos and videos. Very responsive to all texts and emails. Our dog was so happy to stay at home with someone who loves animals. It was evident when we returned that she was well cared for. We already booked Rosemary again!
