“Amanda has house sat for us twice now. She is wonderful with our dogs and she follows all instructions left on how to take care of our fur babies. I would absolutely recommend Amanda. Thanks again for all your help!!”
“Audrey was great! Our dogs love her. She house/dog sat for us for two weeks and we never had to worry about if the dogs were being well taken care of. She was very communicative, if she was unsure about something always made sure to double check with us, sent lots of pics, and my house was clean and put together when we got back. 10/10 would definitely recommend and will be using her again ☺️”
About: I love animals! I'm comfortable with dogs and cats, birds, and creepy crawlies. I like to run and would love to make a running buddy! I'm available before and after work for check ins and one day a week for regular walks or runs on a long term basis. I can also do house sitting. I'm a dad so I have plenty of patience and energy for your pets. I work in healthcare so I'm comfortable with stressful situations when the need arises.
“Monique took such good care of my dogs, cat, house, and vegetable gardens while I was away. She communicated with me every day about how everyone was doing and sent pictures. Everyone was happy and healthy when I returned, including my vegetable gardens, even though it was 95+ degrees every day. I highly recommend Monique if you're looking for someone to take wonderful care of your pets and house.”
“Natalee was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time ever using Rover or any similar service, and she completely put all of our worries and concerns at ease. From the very beginning, her professionalism, communication, and genuine care stood out. She was incredibly accommodating, understanding, and kept us updated throughout the entire process, which gave us so much peace of mind. We truly could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”
“Alex was so good with our two goldens and kitty while we were out of town! She even got up every day to walk them in the early morning since it was a 100 degree weekend. Very good communication and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Above & beyond!”
“MacKenzie was fantastic! We had a family member cancel with short notice for watching out 2 dogs and 3 cats for a week while we were going on vacation. I quickly hopped on Rover to see who was near us, and decided to message MacKenzie based on other reviews that had been left. She was quickly able to come over and meet our gang to make sure it would be a fit. After that initial meeting, my husband and I both felt very comfortable and confident with her coming to stay and take care of things while we were gone. The day we were supposed to leave, we ran into some issues but MacKenzie was flexible and fast to communicate. She was very punctual and sent brief updates/questions throughout the week (she has our preference on communication and we had told her we didn't need regular check ins or updates). When we got home, we could tell our dogs and cats had missed us, but it was also clear that they had been well taken care of. Overall, if and when I may need another house & pet sitter, I wouldn't hesitate to reach back out to MacKenzie and I won't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for help.”
“Jennifer has stayed with my Puggle, Toulouse, twice now in our home and I plan to request her again in the future. She is responsive when I reach out and she sends daily updates of how he’s doing. Toulouse is comfortable with Jennifer and loves playing tug of war with her (a great sign)! When I’ve returned home my place is just as good as I left it and my boy is happy. I couldn’t ask for more. I whole heartedly recommend Jennifer!”
“Rachel is the best! Very professional and responsive. My dogs love her and are always well cared for while I’m away. She always leaves the house clean and is such a thoughtful house/ dog sitter. Will definitely be using Rachel again and again! She’s very reliable, loving towards the dogs, and when she’s watching the dogs/house we know we don’t have to worry about a thing. Peace of mind is amazing to have while on vacation.”
“Rebecca did a wonderful job with our pups! We have a nervous Nellie and she spent extra time with them and worked around our flight schedule to reduce the time our pups would need to be crated. House was clean and neat when we arrived and we got twice daily updates. We’ll use her again if available!”
“Carla was quick to respond and took great care of my dog when my other sitter backed out at the last minute. She sent pictures and updates and I could not have been happier with the service she provided.”
About: I have always had animals my whole life, I grew up with two dogs and 2 cats. I was always taking care of the animals, feeding, walking, and grooming. I have experience with all age range of animals. I have some traning experience, with my own dogs and with friends dogs. I always prioritize animals safety, health, and happiness. I am currently focusing on my career growth with animal sitting and I am available 7 day a week between the hours of 6am-11pm. When I am not focused on pet care, I bartend, so my schedule is often flexible with pet sitting. I feed, snuggle, walk and play with the animals I care for. I am sure to get all the information needed to best care for your pet (feeding times and habbits, favorite play, commands/release words and so forth). I prioritize animal safety, health, and happiness.
About: There has never not been a dog in my house. I've grown up around them and feel very comfortable with them! Within the last few years I have logged 70+ volunteer hours at SCRAPS training and exercising dogs. I achieved the highest level of training and thoroughly enjoy my time working with them. I have handled dogs with all kinds of behavioral issues from having a high prey drive to disliking people. Additionally I've worked with my own dog and she earned her CGC, participated in numerous rally classes, and began agility. When she became a senior dog I gave her a comfortable life until the end. I am passionate about making their lives better for as long as we have them. I also have experience taking care of rabbits, goats, and horses. I'm a full-time student on summer break so I have full availability currently. Evenings will have less availability as I will be doing some summer conditioning for my sport but can be flexible with the client's needs. In my own home we keep our dogs separate with baby gates and the use of leashes. Keeping them safe is a priority for us so we do all we can to help make them comfortable while maintaining safety. Depending on what the client is comfortable with I will use whatever measures they want to keep their family safe.
“Lauren was incredible with Lucy! Every time Lucy saw Lauren she’d light up with excitement to be with her. Very responsible and respectful young lady who truly knows how to work with animals.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Nazeerah as our house and dog sitter. She took excellent care of our dogs and our home while we were away. Nazeerah sent frequent pictures, videos, and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. It was clear our dogs were comfortable and happy with her, which meant a lot to us. When we returned, our home was well cared for and everything was just as we left it. We are very grateful for the care and attention Nazeerah gave both our pets and our home, and we would happily trust her again in the future.”
“Paige did a great job communicating with me before, during, and after her time with my dog. She sent pictures and gave me updates as needed. I appreciate her services and look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Bethany did a wonderful job house sitting with our dog while we were gone on vacation for 10 days. We got daily pictures and updates from her about our dog and were able to relax and have a good time knowing our dog was happy and being well-cared for. When we got home, the house was clean and everything was perfect. I would recommend Bethany to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their pet.”
“Emma has been absolutely great with my Stormi! And understanding with my schedule. She plays with her and sends me updates with pictures. Stormi gets so excited to see her. She does such a great job. I really appreciate her.”
Hillyard pet parents share their Rover experiences
Monique was PERFECT! She did an amazing job taking care of Jax while we were gone and he really seemed to love her. The house was perfectly cared for, we got great updates every day, and most importantly we came home to a happy & healthy pup! We will definitely reach out to Monique when we need help in the future!
Natalee was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time ever using Rover or any similar service, and she completely put all of our worries and concerns at ease. From the very beginning, her professionalism, communication, and genuine care stood out. She was incredibly accommodating, understanding, and kept us updated throughout the entire process, which gave us so much peace of mind. We truly could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!
Our girls were relaxed and happy after spending the weekend with Kirsten. She sent pics and communicated well with us. When we returned, our home was just as we left it. We greatly appreciate being able to relax and enjoy ourselves while away, knowing our girls are in good hands with Kirsten.
Jordyn is hands-down the best sitter. We've been able to have her watch our dogs and home on a couple of occasions now, and we wouldn't hesitate to rebook with her again and again. She communicates regularly and adds peace of mind when we're away. I can't say enough good things about Jordyn! We're so thankful for her.
We had an amazing experience with Paige! She took such great care of our dog and truly went above and beyond with keeping us updated, picking up thoughtful extras like treats and supplies, and even putting together the sweetest little display for us to come home to. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in such caring, attentive hands. We’re so grateful we found her and can’t recommend her enough. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a pet sitter!
Abigail is amazing! I have an easy but not-so-easy senior dog dealing with doggy dementia and Abby took care of my baby with such genuine care. Just the week prior to my trip I was so full of anxiety leaving my girl, but Abby did a phenomenal job keeping me up to date with her and easing any anxiety I had. I had a great trip, and London had a wonderful time with her new friend.
Melissa went above and beyond to cater to my shy cat, playing with him and staying at the home with him. She sent regular updates and photos, which put me at ease on my trip! She left the house clean and followed my list of instructions. Most importantly, my cat was safe and sound when I returned home! I couldn't be happier with her cat-sitting! Thank you so much!!
We had a great experience with Ella! Everything was exactly as expected—our home was well cared for, and most importantly, our puppies were happy and in great hands. She was also incredibly accommodating with my somewhat goofy schedule, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend and will definitely use her again!
This was our first time using Rover and we were honestly so lucky to find Curtis to watch our dogs, Daisy and Moxie, for few days over the holidays. We couldn't be happier with the experience. From our initial meet-and-greet, they were professional, attentive to our instructions, and clearly had a genuine love for animals. During our trip, Curtis sent daily updates and adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind. We came home to happy pups and a tidy house. It's clear they treated our home and girls with the utmost respect. We highly recommend Curtis and will definitely be using their services again!
Amy was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover for our pretty particular dog, and it went so great! Amy provided pictures to soothe my dog mom heart and I know our dog Rey was well taken care of! She was a great communicator and was able to follow specific instructions. Will definitely have her watch our dog again in the future!
