“Noel took care our dog for a week. He did a great job! He sent a pic with every visit. We could enjoy our trip knowing he was well taken care of! Thanks Noel!”
“Casandra did a wonderful job taking care of my 3 year old golden retriever, August, while I was away at a wedding. This was my first experience with Rover, as I was in need of last minute care when my previous care plans fell through. Casandra responded to my message almost immediately, and we were able to set up a time to chat! I was very nervous about leaving my dog home at first, but after talking to Casandra about her experience and expertise, I knew I was putting my dog in the right hands. Throughout the visits, Casandra kept great contact with me, updating me with pictures and videos of my pup to reassure me! I could tell from even the photos that my dog was having a great time. I highly highly recommend Casandra for your pet care needs, and will definitely keep her profile to work with her again in the future! Thanks again, Casandra, for taking such good care of my dog while I was out of town.”
“Kalina was fantastic with my dog, Parker! She dropped in while I was away and took great care of him, she was attentive, kind, and super reliable. Parker was clearly comfortable with her, and the updates she sent gave me real peace of mind. It's not always easy leaving your dog with someone new, but Kalina made it easy. I'd absolutely book with her again!”
“Johanna is so thorough with all instructions and communicative. She was so caring with my kitty. I like having her as a regular and highly recommend her to anyone needing a rover sitter”
“Nicole did an amazing job taking care of our crazy puppy and his handicapable older brother. We came home from our trip to two happy and healthy dogs and a house that is arguably cleaner than we left it. We will definitely be rebooking with Nicole in the future.”
“Beth not only met, but exceeded my expectations!! She stayed in constant communication, provided detailed updates and my pup loved her!! She even put on dog calming YouTube videos on for him before bed and went above and beyond in many other ways. Absolutely going to be using her on a regular basis and highly recommend!”
“Tina was amazing with my cat Luna! She was very communicative, reliable, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I appreciated the photos she sent during the visit, Luna looked so happy and relaxed with her. I’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Annie was very responsive, thoughtful and efficient. I appreciated the extra care, pictures, updates and communication for the drop ins with our Yorkie. It was our first time using Rover for care while we were on a trip and Annie exceeded our expectations.”
“Raquel does a great job with the drop in visits for our two pups. She sends great pics of them enjoying some outside time and scratches. She's also been flexible when we've had to reschedule and responsive to anything that you need to communicate. We've been using her visits once a week! Thanks for helping curb our pups boredom behaviors! ?”
“We hired Delilah to dogsit, and we organized a meet and greet, which went well. We ended up cancelling our booking due to outside circumstances, but we then rehired Delilah for a different occasion to pay a house visit and let our dogs out. Delilah is great at timely and clear communication. Will hire again.”
About: I love all dogs! I've had my dog since she was 2 months old, now she's turning 15! She's as healthy and sweet as ever! She's great with other dogs and very social. Also I've enjoyed helping my family and friends take care of their dogs over the years. Looking forward to taking care of your fur baby while you're away. I work from home so I have the flexibility to take your dog on walks as well as play with your dog throughout the day and even on the weekends! My apartment building is very dog friendly! We have a fenced dog park so your dog can play and socialize with other dogs. There's also a bike trail near by so I can take your dog for long walks.
About: I’ve been raising dogs for over 15 years now and they are an integral part of my life. It would bring me great joy to take care of your babies! I manage a nonprofit retail space, and don’t have to be at work till 11 am so I am able to take care of pets in the morning starting at 7 am till 10 and after 6:30pm. Your pets will be pampered with me! Depending on your wants and needs, there will be treats, tug of war, fetch, and long walks when necessary
“Annalee was a wonderful pet sitter! She was quick to respond to messages and sent me lots of photos of my kitties. I came home to two happy and healthy kitties and everything just how I left it. Thank you, Annalee! ?”
“Traffic delay was unexpected after the rain fall. Ashley kept us posted on her arrival time. When she left her house and updated on ETA throughout her trip. We really appreciated that!!”

Houston dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was the first time I used Michelle for my dog and cat, and she was great! She was very patient with my dog who has severe anxiety issues. She was communicative and informative. She went out of her way to make both the dog and cat comfortable. She even went the extra mile to get my dog to get around his stubborn habits. I highly recommend her!
Stephanie has been absolutely WONDERFUL and soooooooooo accommodating to my crazy schedule. my pups are not the easiest dogs AT ALL:( theyre very reactive and extremely anxious and scared.She has taken time to let them warm up to her and is willing to continue visits to allow my dogs to warm up to her! Her husband david has also been soooooo helpful in helping me with my reactive/scared/angry pups. KJ (my male pup ) has been a total aggressive anxious pup and hasn’t been kind to stephanie or David :( he bit David😢 even after dealing with kj and being bit david offered to try again. You guys are AMAZING and i want everyone to know if you need a sitter or dog walker stephanie and David are absolutely AMAZING caring peoples!!!!!!! thank you guys!!!!
Kalina was fantastic with my dog, Parker! She dropped in while I was away and took great care of him, she was attentive, kind, and super reliable. Parker was clearly comfortable with her, and the updates she sent gave me real peace of mind. It's not always easy leaving your dog with someone new, but Kalina made it easy. I'd absolutely book with her again!
Samantha is amazing! I’ve used her before and will definitely continue to. She took great care of my dog and kept me updated, giving me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy, well cared for pup. Highly recommend Samantha if you need a reliable and caring sitter!
We are incredibly grateful to Kelsey for the amazing care she provided for our dog Lucifer while we were away in Europe for two weeks. Watching him is no easy task—he requires a strong, capable handler and someone who truly understands him. Kelsey went above and beyond by joining us for training sessions in the weeks leading up to our trip to make sure she was fully prepared. While we were away, she kept us updated every step of the way, giving us peace of mind and allowing us to actually relax and enjoy a much-needed vacation. She handled everything with confidence, care, and professionalism. Not many people could have done what she did, and we’re so thankful to have found someone we trust so deeply with our boy. Highly, highly recommend Kelsey!
Stasi continues to be absolutely amazing! This is the 3rd or 4th time booking with her, and each and every time she goes above and beyond! She is so caring to our pup, always sends amazing check in’s ( with adorable pictures). I feel 100% confident leaving my pup with her!
