“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.”

“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! ✨️❤️❤️❤️”

“She took wonderful care of our 10 week old puppy and 4 year old cat. I highly recommend - if you want someone you can feel safe leaving your home and pets with, this is your person! She rocks!”

“Noah did great with my two dogs. He sent me photos and a video while I was gone on the holiday weekend. I was concerned for my one dog as he doesn’t favor fireworks. Noah messaged to check with me while my dog got a little anxious. He didn’t hesitate to message me with any questions and I appreciated that!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Camden was awesome helping out with my little chihuahua. Shiloh was finishing medication and is working on training, so he was a handful and Camden was amazing at helping out while I was on a trip. Very responsive, gave descriptive updates, and was more than happy to help out with Shiloh’s routine.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog Walter received. Alex was incredibly attentive, responsible and kept us updated with great communication throughout her two night stay. Walter absolutely loved her and so did we. It’s such a relief to know he was in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend.”

“Christina did wonderful taking care of our dog Kingsley. Sent picture updates and walked him and played with him as well. Our house was cleaner when we returned than it was when we left. Will definitely use again!”

“Samantha is always very communicative about how Bella is doing and shows genuine interest in her well being. She applied her medication while watching her. It’s clear she loves animals because I always come home to a happy dog.”

About: I have personal experience caring for both dogs and cat for a good chunk of my lifetime. I understand their language as well as my own. I have a good eye for spotting various eating habits (overeating, frequent eating, disinterest in food, etc) and can adjust as needed to keep them both happy and healthy. I have no problem feeding, bathing, and cleaning up after them however it’s needed. I’ll always have the utmost respect for an animal and their parents that they deserve in their home! I currently have a part time day job. I don’t always get done at the same time every day but I’m usually done before 4pm. I can stop in as frequently as needed any time after 4 or spend as much time as you’d prefer after that. Any changes to my schedule will be communicated! Any boundaries or special requests about caring in your home will, of course, be abided by. They can be crated or roam freely depending on however you’d prefer things done. Just communicate with me whatever you’d like done and I can always work with you!
“Eleanor is incredible. i’m a helicopter parent of 3 rowdy young dogs and i have ZERO worries when i travel for work. she goes above and beyond, always is proactive with letting me know how they’re doing and sending updates on their antics, and my dogs love her. 100% recommend eleanor!!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life since I was born! I have always taken care of my own animals even when we had 6 at one time all together. I currently have two dogs of my own that I love so much and take care of each day. I love to go on walks, long or short. Additionally, I have helped out neighbors and friends throughout the years with taking care of their fluffy family members! I am finishing up graduate school in physician assistant studies and will be graduating in May! I will then be starting my career working as a PA in the emergency department in Fall 2026 so until then I have a ton of availability! Currently, I own two dogs of my own and care for them daily whether it’s feeding them, playing with them, walking them, or simply just loving on them! I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets in a client’s home. I follow all care instructions closely, keep routines consistent, ensure doors and gates are secure, and provide attentive, gentle care so pets feel comfortable and safe while you’re away
“Sophia was wonderful with our dog Liberty! We felt that Sophia genuinely cared about the care she gave her. All meals and meds were given in a timely manner. Play time was important to both Sophia and Liberty. Great job!”

“Allison was fantastic! Our dog and cat loved her and it’s clear they were loved back! She sent updates with video which put me at ease! I would book her again in the future if I have more pet sitting needs!”

About: I have plenty of experience making sure pets feel at home while you’re away. Reach out for someone you can trust to make sure your animal is well taken care of. Pets won’t need to be caged during the visit & won’t be left alone for longer than a couple hours, if any. I don’t have any pets of my own right now so I can also accommodate. You can trust I create a safe environment for your animals to have fun in while they are away from you! You can expect lots of pictures and videos during the visit!
Howard pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.

We are so grateful for Kerstyn ! She was very communicative and sends pictures. She was very punctual and went beyond what I asked! We have her booked for end of September and when my son needs sitter he will be reaching out to her ! Thank you and Si loves you❤️
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!
