“Loki was wonderful with our three little girls! He sent great pictures and kept us up to date with all of their antics 🤣 He was a pleasure to work with and we will most definitely be using him in the future!”
“Vivianna stayed with my zoo for the weekend. She was incredibly communicative and sent updates and pictures. I knew they were in great hands the entire time”
“Rayna was absolutely incredible with my dogs. She went the extra mile to make sure they were loved and taken care of. I wish I would have found her sooner!! She is one of the best on this app, I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies. She is trusting and caring and those are qualities that are hard to find.”
“London is AMAZING!!! She took care of Baxter and Boscoe like they are her own babies. She sent me tons of updates and pictures that showed me how much she cares. We will definitely be using London in the future!!!”
“Jillian was great! Communicative, caring, responsive...she sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on all the goings on around the house. Would recommend her for anyone, and will definitely use her services again!”
“Damian took such good care of my pup while I was gone! As someone with an anxious girl (scared of loud noises), he went above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable and cared for. He was very communicative, with several pictures in each update. Would definitely recommend Damian to watch your furry friend!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Alyssia! She stayed overnight in our home for a week while we were on vacation in the OBX and took fantastic care of our three cats. She sent daily updates with funny photos and videos that gave us total peace of mind (and some good laughs). Alyssia also took excellent care of our home—bringing in the mail and packages, taking out the trash, and cleaning up after herself. Everything was spotless when we returned. Most importantly, our cats were calm, happy, and well-fed. In the past, they’ve seemed stressed or even lost weight while we were away, but not this time. They warmed up to her quickly! We’ve already rebooked her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Thank you, Alyssia!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Alexa’s exceptional care for our two dogs while we were out of the country. From the start, her communication was top-notch, keeping us updated and reassured throughout our trip. It was clear that our dogs were not only well cared for but truly loved during our time away. Alexa went above and beyond—she even took the initiative to tidy up the house, collect our mail, and handle the garbage. Knowing that she took care of everything gave us complete peace of mind. We wholeheartedly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter, and we’re already looking forward to booking her again in the future. Thank you, Alexa!”
About: I have always been around various animals and have had multiple dogs/cats/rabbits - my entire life. I have tons of experience watching either friends or family members dogs/cats during extended periods of time. (Vacations/ out of town) . Long walks and play time are always a top priority. Dogs are part of your family, and they should be treated as such when work or vacations come into play. Endless snuggles and attention will be given while your pets are in my care. *** Update for AUGUST - Extra availability *** Tuesday, August 26th I have early morning availability ( 6am-9:30 am ), Thursday, August 28th I will have evening availability ( 6:30pm - 10:30 pm ) and Sunday, August 31st I will be available from 2:30pm - 10:30pm ) Monday, September 1st ( Labor day ) I am available all day *** I have a full time position working from home. My availability is 5:15pm - 10pm , Monday through Fridays. Every Saturday and Sunday I have open availability besides my blocked dates. Most holidays I will be available also! Looking to add in morning time availability during the week in the near future. I am available to house sit, dog walk, or do drop in visits. I will follow your pets daily routine as closely as I can whether it be feeding times, walk schedule, playtime. I will provide plenty of attention and affection to your pets while you are away! I always have my watch or phone on me for constant communication. Due to me adopting a new German Shepard puppy I cannot board in my home yet.
“Zara did a great job! I will look to book her again. She took such good care of Abby and Winston. She had to deal with an unexpected issue with our senior Irish Setter Winston, and she handled it very well. While giving our dogs TLC, Zara also took good care of the house. She did everything I asked and things looked great when we got home. Zara communicated well and sent pictures. Thank you , Zara!”
“Cory was very loving and caring for our two boys. This was our first trip witout the pups so, his twice a day messages and photos left us feeling very comfortable with his care. If you want someone to care for your animals, Cory is your man as he treated ours like they were his own. We highly recommend him!”
“Hannah was great with my crew of 2 cats and 2 dogs on an overnight stay at our home. I was nervous to leave them for the first time but Hannah's professionalism and attention to detail eased my mind. The babies loved her right away. She was able to keep up with all of them and gave great updates along the way. We are so glad to have found Hannah and would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Naja was awesome. Super accommodating and communicative. She came over beforehand to make sure the dogs were comfortable around her and didn’t have any issues throughout the booking. Awesome rover that has skill and patience!!”
“I took my precious and shy Nina Simone to Raymond on a whim, I needed an immediate sitter. The fact that he was willing to fit me in at the last minute, spoke volumes. Nina enjoyed herself so much that when we got home, she barely finished her dinner before racing upstairs to jump in her bed! She was knocked out immediately! He mentioned that he took her to the neighborhood dog park, and played tug-of-war with one of her toys I left with him. The dog park is located in the older neighborhood of Berkley, which I love because it reminds me of back home, in Georgia. The residents all know one another and seem highly respectful towards Raymond and his Rover dogs, lol. I saw a difference in Nina with him, regarding her being more outgoing, with just that one day, then the days she has been at an actual doggie day care center. I will definitely be bringing Nina S. back to Raymond!”
“Taylor is the best house and dog sitter there is! She gives updates, sorted mail and left the house perfectly clean. And our dogs absolutely adore her! I would rate her 10 stars if I could.”

Indian River pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot say enough great things about Rayna! I would give her 10 stars if I could! She is one of the sweetest people on the planet and did a PHENOMENAL job watching our dogs when my family was away for 10 days. She was extremely communicative and kept us up to date on our dog’s wellbeing and went out of her way to make sure they were well cared. For the record, I have a very anxious pup and Rayna went above and beyond to make sure she was comforted, especially at night. She gave us so much piece of mind. Additionally, she left my house so immaculately clean I was shocked! She also did an amazing job of watering the plants, garden, and collecting the mail. Do yourself a favor and book Rayna! She is a gem and one in a million!!! Rayna, you are always welcomed back! Tuna and Nelson miss you already!
