“Terrific from booking to the end. She kept in touch and followed through. She was able to spend alot of time with the pooch. I think Riley and Monica enjoyed each other. I will definitely use her again.”
“Cannot recommend Dominique enough! She was available to stay with my dog and cat on relatively short notice as I had to travel for work. She was super attentive, sent tons of cute pictures with updates and took excellent care of my babies. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Kristin did a great job sitting for our dogs. She spent several days with them and they had a great time. The dogs seemed very comfortable with her and we were happy she was able to spend lots of time with them. She provided updates multiple times per day including pictures of them around the house and around the pool. We came home to happy and stress free dogs. We would definitely book her again!”
“Karena was a wonderful pet sitter for us! Our usually skittish chihuahua mix even came to like sitting by jet and getting pets. Her calm caring energy really helps anxious dogs! Karena also sent pics and videos throughout our booking which was very reassuring. Overall, we highly recommend her!”
“Orima is so incredibly sweet. I left both of my pitbull babies with her overnight and she kept me updated and informed every step of the way. Both of them looked incredibly happy and well adjusted in all of the photos she sent. I will definitely be booking with Orima again.”
“Nataly took good care of our dog. Our dog seemed relaxed and happy when we returned home. Nataly stayed overnight in our home and took good care of the house,the mail and brought in the newspaper. We would recommend her.”
“Teresa was so great! She gave Bella lots of good walks and cuddles and was great about communicating with us and sending us lots of photos and updates. We would recommend her 100%!”
“Nicole was fantastic from start to finish. She was very communicable and made sure my pup was well-loved and taken care of. Dixie got along with her so well!”
“Riley is great! She’s attentive and has genuine love for dogs. She took great care of not only our dogs but our home. We loved the daily photo updates! We will definitely have her back!”
“There's only one word to describe our experience with Andrew: "Wonderful!" We met Andrew at a stressful time. We had just learned of an unexpected death in the family, and had to leave town on short notice. He jumped right in to help. We have two dogs. One of them, our AmStaff mix (Grizzly), is usually very suspicious of new people. He took to Andrew like a long-lost friend. Andrew asked all the right questions, showed up on time, and took great care of our dogs and our home. In particular, he was quite conscientious about communicating with us, consistently letting us know how everything was going. That really helped to take uncertainty and worry out of our lives at an already difficult time. When we returned home, the dogs were happy and the house looked just like it should have. We're grateful that Andrew came to our rescue in a time of need. As a bonus, we now have a "go-to" sitter anytime he's available in the future. We recommend Andrew very highly.”
About: I absolutely love animals and had several when I was growing up! From cats to dogs to fish to ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, rabbits, lizards.. I believe nothing compares to the companionship of a pet. I've always been the go to person to watch my family or friends pets because they know I am going to love them as if they're my own. I have two senior dogs, a partially blind cat, and a feisty cichlid (water pokemon). I am familiar with distributing oral medications and I'm willing to learn what is required for your babies needs I work 2pm-10pm, Sunday -Thursday I AM AVAILABLE ALL DAY FRIDAYS and SATURDAYS!! I am also available before and after my shift during work days. Just keep me posted, and we'll figure it out. I have 2 senior dogs, a partially blind cat, and a cichlid (fish). I love animals and would treat my clients pet as if they were my own 💜 I am very nurturing and would do what is required to make my clients pet comfortable and happy!
“I felt confident in Maria from the moment we met during the meet and greet. She took the time to understand Nikki's routine and was very attentive to her needs. While caring for Nikki, she sent regular photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind. I came home to a happy dog and a tidy house. Since Helen is retired, she can spend more time with the dogs in her care. I will definitely ask Helen to stay with Nikki again in the future.”
“Jillian was kind and a total animal lover. She did a wonderful job taking care of my two cars and two dogs (one of which is HUGE and a bit of a handful🤣), and they were really happy and well cared for when we got back. I'd happily hire her again.”
About: I have three dogs of my own and have previously cared for other pets, such as family members' or neighbors' pets. I love walking with them, playing with them, or hanging with them if that's what they need. I am a fast learner and can adapt well to caring for different animals, and I have good stamina to walk them as well. I am home for college at the moment and have a wide open schedule, and what better to do than walk dogs and make new furry friends! I have my car and can easily drive to whoever's home is needed and take their dog for a walk or check in for a visit, or sleep over.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. From the dog I grew up with to the dogs I have raised myself, I have always had a pal by my side. I know how important great animal care is. When my wife and I are out of town, we want pictures and updates often, so rest assured, your animals will be taken care of and I’ll send the updates to prove it! I have raised dogs of my own, taken in dogs when they needed a home, and adopted dogs from shelters. I have experience dealing with all different types of dogs with different temperaments and personalities. I understand that not all dogs are ready to immediately be your friend and take time to warm up to you, but they always do! I really love dogs (and cats too!). They are our companions and family members. They mean the world to us. They are our fur babies. I understand how Important our animals are to us. I believe in giving dogs and cats their best lives possible, because while we depend on them for love and companionship, they rely on us for everything. I am a freelance photographer, so I make my own schedule. I am looking for work to fill in the gaps between jobs, so if I accept a pet sitting gig, it will have my full attention! At home, I treat my dogs like my children. They get all the food, water, attention, play, and exercise they need. So you can expect the same care for your animals as I give my own!
About: I raised my Shih Tzu from 3 months up until I lost him to kidney disease on 9/11/2024. I walked him on a regular basis except rainy days (he hated getting wet lol), he was potty trained and free to roam the house while I was not home. Everyone ( family, friends, neighbors) knew how much I loved and cared for him. When he was in his last days from kidney failure, I stayed by his side until the end. I kept his routine the same. I pushed him in his stroller when he could not walk anymore. Administered him an IV daily to keep him hydrated when he barely ate and drank. I laid with him and held him until he let me know it was time for him to go to that Rainbow Bridge. I currently work Monday - Friday with an unpredictable schedule. Saturdays & Sundays are best for me at this time. Some holidays will be an option as well. Example, Martin Luther King, Presidents Day Before I lost my dog to kidney disease, he was potty trained and free to roam the house. I walked him when I got home and he was my cuddle buddy when it was time to go to bed.
About: Hello, my name is Toya, and I have loved animals since I was a little girl. I have washed, walked, fed, played catch, heck even gave medication (following the vets orders of course) to our pets for years. And not only dogs. I have experience with cats, parakeets, ferrets, fish, even iguanas! I'm currently working full time, but will make plenty of time for your fur babies. During the weekdays I am available anytime after 4:30 pm. I am open and available anytime during the weekends. I have an elderly Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix with congestive heart failure. I care for him like I would a young pup (cause he is young at heart) but must keep him as calm as possible so he don't get into coughing fits. He is given medicine twice a day, lots of fluids, feed him, make sure he gets his walks in, and lots of loving (because he is a lady's man and loves to be rubbed down 🙂) I also have an African Cichlid! Although she doesn't require as much attention as the pooch does, she does enjoy it when I look at her through her glass tank. She follows my fingers and will come up to the tank and blow kisses from time to time.
“Emily was very punctual and professional. She checked in to let me know my dog wasn’t eating all of her food which is normal for my dog, but I appreciated her thoughtfulness. I would feel comfortable letting her care for my dog again.”

“Olivia is wonderful and was very flexible with my last minute schedule! She’s very sweet and Ollie immediately took to her upon meeting. I appreciate the extra care with updates and quality walks Ollie received. I came home to a clean house and a very content pup. Would definitely book again—highly recommend!”

“Mercedez is an old neighbor of mine and she is an AMAZING person!! She's so nurturing and fun, my Monte just adores her!

Idlewild Farms pet parents share their Rover experiences
Josh was responsive and very easy to work with! He took great care of my dog who is recovering from surgery and has special needs with her recovery. I’ll definitely be using him again!
Makenna was great! She took good care of my home and my two dogs. She sent daily updates and was great with communication. Would book again
Nicole made sure our puppies were comfortable and well fed. Our house was well taken care of and we were able to truly relax!
Orima is incredible!! She was so thorough and attentive to our doggos, making sure they were happy felt loved while we were away for a few days for a wedding! We had a terrible experience with a doggy daycare, so having a loving caring dog sitter really feels like a blessing!! We truly look forward to having Orima sit for us again!!
Erin was amazing! She catered to both our dogs specific needs and I’m pretty sure she left the place cleaner than when she found it!!
Kristin did a great job sitting for our dogs. She spent several days with them and they had a great time. The dogs seemed very comfortable with her and we were happy she was able to spend lots of time with them. She provided updates multiple times per day including pictures of them around the house and around the pool. We came home to happy and stress free dogs. We would definitely book her again!
Sarah does a great job of caring for our dog and cat. When she stays the night you can’t even tell she’s been there! Would highly recommend!
Monica was wonderful! She took excellent care of Charley, sent us plenty of updates and left our house in immaculate condition after her stay. She even washed the sheets and remade the bed before she left (she didn't have to do that). Our Charley girl loved her and had such a good time. Your pet and home are in great hands with Monica; we can't wait to book her again!
Jill was so attentive to my babies! They felt so loved by her. I appreciate her being so proactive with communication. I would highly recommend her!
This was the second time Olivia watched Ollie (Pitbull) and stayed in my home, however this was for a much longer two week trip to Europe. I couldn’t be happier with leaving Ollie in her care. Olivia’s constant updates, photos and detail provided a lot of reassurance while I was away. I returned to my home cleaner in some ways than I left it which is a mental lift that I didn’t have to worry about. She washed, folded her towels and bedding, cleaned the bathroom, wiped counters. I could tell she had made the effort to buy Ollie extra treats and I came home to my own personal care gift, which is extremely thoughtful. **There was an even a collectors drinking glass that Olivia thought she had chipped doing dishes and went out of her way to make sure it was replaced.** I selfishly don’t want anyone to find out how amazing she is of a sitter so I can have her full availability. She also deserves to have it be known how wonderful she is and I’m not normally this big on reviews. I will be keeping Olivia as my primary sitters.
Jeff will be our go to fur babies friend for any of our travel plans. He genuinely cares about his work. Our fur babies took to him so well and made us feel totally comfortable while we were away. He communicated and checked in with us often with messages and pictures.
Emily was great! Very communicative and helpful. And went above and beyond to make sure the place was left clean. Will definitely book again!
Kate comes with lots of experience with dogs. House sitting for several days with my sometimes fussy Yorkie mix - adopted from pound 5 months prior. All was well with the dog and my home. I received regular updates. I will be using Kate again.
Brett was wonderful! We got regular check ins and photos! I feel so confident and safe with Brett taking care of our little family. We look forward to getting to have him back very soon. It was so sweet…our little one, Zeke, even went to sleep on the bed where Brett stayed when it was bedtime. Let us know that they loved their time with Brett!♥️
We had a wonderful experience with Avery. She was incredibly attentive and responsive. We received regular updates and returned home to a happy, calm pup. Highly recommend Avery and look forward to booking with her again!
Brittany did a great job caring for our dog and cat last weekend! I got updates and a few pictures and I felt completely at ease having her in our home. I will use her again in the future!
Laura was everything and I hoped for and more in a housesitter/pup watcher! She took amazing care of girls and kept in contact with me, sending pics and vids! If 10 stars were possible, she would get them from me!
Annie is my go-to Rover. She is great at getting my skittish cat out of her shell and will go over and above my asks during the visits.
