“Erin was an absolutely AMAZING Rover sitter for our two cats while we were away on vacation. She sent picutures everyday and gave updates on how our cats were doing. Erin also went above and beyond doing extra responsibilities around our house to help out the cats i.e. cleaning out the litter boxes. She came early before our vacation time to walk through the house and get the instructions. Erin was amazing, I would highly recommend to anyone who needs a Rover sitter. I plan on hiring her for any future vacations we have planned.”

“Noah was awesome. My two dogs Hobbs (Great Dane) and Maverick (German Shepherd) can be a handful and Noah did an amazing job with both of them. Super communicative and caring. 11/10”

“Fawn did a great job with Marlo while we were away. She is very responsive to my communication and reached out on the first day with an detailed update. Marlo was happy around her and will definitely hire her again.”

“Sara did an outstanding job caring for my 3 dogs while I was away for the weekend. She was prompt and responsive and sent multiple updates and lots of fun photos to help me feel comfortable with how things were going while I was away. She has a very kind and gentle energy and is very conscientious. She has also been exceptionally patient with all of my dogs and especially my smallest dog, who is quirky and very slow to warm up to new people. I would recommend Sara wholeheartedly and without reservation!!! I look very much forward to asking her to watch my dogs when I travel in the future. She is reliable and trustworthy and was instrumental in helping me feel comfortable and relaxed about leaving my 3 dogs with a house/petsitter for the very first time. I would give her fourteen stars if I could! ✨️❤️❤️❤️”

“Samantha did such a great job caring for my dog and my home while I was out of town. She gave me updates letting me know when she arrived and when she left. I didn't worry about the wellbeing of my dog during my entire trip. My place was just the way I had left it. She probably left it a little cleaner. lol. I'd definitely use her services again next time I need a sitter. Thanks Sam!!! ?”
About: I have cared for many pets big and small and some strange to others. Personally I have owned rats, birds, a bunny, a dog, and now a cat! I always reseach extensively on how to care for a specific pet to make sure to give them the best life possible and make sure everything is good with vet care. At this moment I only work part time as a face painter for parties. I spend most of my days with my own cats, one of which I have been training to be a therapy cat! I love caring for animals and helping them so I thought I would offer my services to who may need them. I will be asking alot of questions and like to know if your pet has a schedule they like to follow. I would hate to stress them out with more as a change of schedule plus a stranger in their home could be scary for them. I am also very respectful of boundaries your pet may have and am more understanding if a pet gets sick or scratches me due to personal space issues.
“We had Alex watch our pups during our wedding weekend, and they loved her. Each picture she sent of them they were clearly having a great time, doggy smiles all around. 10/10 would book again.”

“Excellent dog sitter- our first time with our older (and slightly finicky dog Zeus). This sitter put us and our dog at ease- offering to come for a meet and great. Zeus even was eating well for her which has not happened with a first time pet sitter in the past. A great communicator. Will use again.”

“Eleanore did a wonderful job with Millie. She was extremely well taken care of & happy when I returned. She did everything I asked walking Millie, feeding her 3 times a day, giving her lots of outside time. She’s wonderful!!”
“So pleased with Eleanor as she took care of our Finley for a couple hours yesterday. I had a sitter cancel due to a work meeting and Eleanor accepted my request with short notice. She did everything I asked her to do regarding Finley. I’ll reach out again to her in the future.”

“Madisyn has now taken care of my precious prince multiple weekends and will be taking care of him for almost a full week coming up. She takes amazing care of him. Being sure to follow my very detailed instructions when it comes to his medication overall needs and my own personal worries while being gone. She has become a very trusted dog sitter for me and I will book with her first over anyone else. If you need someone who will send you photos, love you your animal and let you know whenever they are coming and going and how your dog its doing through the day. Madisyn is the one..”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals ever since I was small. I want them to have the best life they can, so I make sure to do things right for them! I’ve had pets of my own (like fish and hamsters) along with the family dog that I’ve cared for, and I have also assisted other family and friends with pet sitting before. I am currently a bridal stylist at David’s Bridal and am busiest on the weekends. I am very flexible during the weekdays, and if timing allows I’d love to help you out on a weekend too! I am committed to following all instructions given to me for your pet. I want everyone to be as comfortable as possible, meaning that I will try and keep their routine as close to normal as possible.
“Gabrielle did an amazing job with our two pups I get anxious leaving them and she put me at ease with staying in contact and picture updates :) we have a senior dog that needs more care and assistance with medications and she nailed it! 10/10 would recommend will have her in our home again anytime! Thank you again!”

Howard pet parents share their Rover experiences
This is the first time we had used Rover. Alex was a wonderful fit for our family. She came for a meet and greet, communicated before, during and after, and was very active. She stayed with our dogs the whole time and provided updates. Our dogs were very relaxed and stress free while we were gone. We will definitely ask for Alex again.
This was the second time we used Jenny, and she looked after our dogs for 5 nights. This included my almost 16yo dog who experienced some separation anxiety and other challenges while we were gone. Jenny was very communicative and compassionate, and left our house clean. We will be using her in the future again!

Fawn house/pet sat both of our crazy 1 year old dogs while we went out of state Sunday-Thursday. I chose her based on her profile bio and felt very comfortable with her at the meet and greet. She is perfect! She left the house looking wonderful and both my dogs kissed her goodbye and one even made a sad sound watching her leave. I would highly recommend you book with Fawn.
