“This was our first time using Rover. Tracy was excellent and very professional! Our dogs we’re crazy about him at the meet and greet. He also took care of our cats. We arrived back from vacation with happy well cared for pets and a home in perfect order. Thank you Tracy! Rachel K.”
“Lisa did a great job watching our two boys. They adapted to her quickly, not usual for Shelties. Fun to see them so well cared for when we returned. Def gave us peace of mind as we negotiated out of town surgery w/o having to worry about Mac and Fionn. Would def have Lisa again.”
“Brooklyn was able to help me out last minute and was great. She paid a lot of attention to my dogs and they really liked her. She communicated well and was fully invested in making sure my dogs were well-taken care of while I was gone.”
About: I’ve taken care of my aunt’s dog since I was little and then briefly lived with one until he passed. I was in charge of walking and feeding them and both dogs absolutely adored me. Now as I’ve grown up, my favorite animals are still dogs but I unfortunately don’t have any and I have the cutest little kitties. Hoping to get my serotonin boost from hanging out with your pups instead! I’m currently studying so I’m available for onboarding any day you need me to! I’m free to watch over them and make sure their needs are met since I am home all day typically. My yard isn’t fenced fully but it is mostly and your fur baby will have all the space to run around. I will be home all day to keep them company and make sure they’re happy.
“Bree has spent the last week watching our 9 month old puppy. She suggested doing scent games to keep him occupied and mentally stimulated as well as other basic training he is still working on. She sent lots of photos and always kept us in the loop!”
“Stephanie was great to work with! Always gave plenty of updates throughout the day about the dogs and sent pictures of them as well! This was the longest time we have left someone with our pets and I am so thankful that Stephanie was the one watching them. She treated them as her own and our house was left just as we left it! Will definitely use Stephanie again and recommend her for any services!”
“Emma is the best and a true angel! We have three standard poodles who are our 4 legged kids and we have never left them in someone’s care outside of family. Poodles are very family oriented and can be wary of strangers. After meeting Emma, we were amazed at how quickly the girls took to Emma as if they had known her for a lifetime. She came to our home and provided outstanding care. Emma provided us periodic updates during the day and even sent pictures showing us how well things were going. Emma is a true blessing to our family and I know we will reach out to her again! 💕🐾”
“This was the first time I had ever used Rover for petsitting. To say I was nervous is an understatement because my two dogs are my kiddos and I love them so much. I wanted to use this service so they could stay at home where they are the most comfortable. Clint and Leah were the perfect choice for me because they were willing to stay at my house and gave both of my dogs lots of attention. One of my dogs is older and pretty cranky and she takes a long time to warm up to new people. I was shocked when she warmed up to them right away. Clint and Leah are excellent communicators which is very important to me. As things came up while I was gone, they were great about letting me know right away and giving detailed updates. One of my dogs is very scared of fireworks and my trip was over New Years and there were loud noises that scared my dog. They were great about not only keeping me updated, but also showed a picture of my dog sitting on the couch with them which normally doesn’t happen easily with new people. I highly recommend these two and am definitely hoping to use them again in the future.”
“We were nervous to leave our 8 month old kitten for 10 days, but Brianna to the rescue! She mostly stayed at the house with Lucy and kept her busy. She sent lots of cute photos and videos so we knew our little girl was being well cared for. Brianna was a trooper - even staying over when she came down with bronchitis! We will definitely book Brianna again when we go away. Lucy loved her, and so do we!”
“Great in home sitter. Very attentive and responsive to our dog's needs. Regular communication and updates. We were gone for 2 weeks and felt very comfortable the entire time leaving our pup with Sami. Would book again.”
“I was incredibly hesitant to use another sitter from Rover after a terrible experience the last time but I took a chance with Brandi & Luis because the second I met them during our meet and greet I felt like they would be different and I was right! They were the BEST decision I made for my two doggies! They came right in and actually said hi to my dogs and showed so much interest in them and seemed to love them instantly! They worked with my schedule to do exactly what I needed and stayed at my house the entirety of my time away. I used them over the Fourth of July and one of my dogs does not do well with fireworks so I felt awful leaving her but she couldn’t have been in better hands! They stayed with her the entire time and followed my instructions down to every last word. They sent frequent updates with pictures and there was not a second I was worried my doggies weren’t being loved! They spent their time relaxing on the couch with them just like they do when we’re home and I know they took the absolute best care of them! I can’t wait to use them again if needed and I know my dogs will be THRILLED to see them again. I can’t speak highly enough, this was without a doubt the best Rover experience I’ve had and now I don’t ever want to use another dogsitter because I don’t think you can do better than Brandi & Luis!”
“Erin was awesome with Anubis and very flexible when my plans had changed. I will definitely have her watch Anubis again knowing he will be in excellent hands.”
“Samantha was fantastic, very communicative & punctual! Our Belly girl was so happy when we got home & it gave us such peace of mind while we were gone knowing she was so well taken care of.”
“Hannah was great! Both my dog and cat are typically very nervous of new people, but they warmed up to Hannah very fast! She sent great updates and tons of pictures which I really appreciated. I will definitely book with her next time I go away!”
“Boston Did fantastic with my 2 dogs, she was reliable and easy to communicate with...She sent pics and let me know how my 2 dogs were doing, she was very quick to respond...her prices are very reasonable and I would highly recommend her...Thanks Boston..”
“Lydia did a fine job house sitting and talking care of our dog and cat. She even passed out candy Halloween night! We felt very comfortable being over seas knowing our home and animals were taken care of.”

Lisa did a great job watching our two boys. They adapted to her quickly, not usual for Shelties. Fun to see them so well cared for when we returned. Def gave us peace of mind as we negotiated out of town surgery w/o having to worry about Mac and Fionn. Would def have Lisa again.
Amara was great with our dogs, like always! We never have to worry when Amara is watching our dogs while we are out of town! She keeps us posted on how they are doing and always sends plenty of pictures!! Highly recommend Amara if you are looking for a dog sitter!! She is always great!
Paris was great with our little guy!! We took a week long trip out of the country and she stayed in our home to care for him. She gave constant updates throughout the entire trip including pictures, times when she was leaving for the day, and any concerns she might see with him. That helped ease our minds a ton while we were so far away. At the end of her stay she left the house clean and cared for and even offered to swing back over to the house to let him out again in case our flight got delayed. We would definitely book with Paris again!
