“Alison took great care of my two older dogs, including a complicated medication regimen. She’s communicative, trustworthy, responsible, and kind. And she sent wonderful photos each day!”
“Taylor took such great care of Murphy and our home while we were away on a weekend trip. She kept us updated and sent lots of photos! We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Paloma was an absolute life saver. She watched my dog and parrot and gave them so much love. I felt that she adored my furry and feathered family like I do and it’s clear that she has a natural intuition with animals. In my case she went completely above and beyond when my AC broke when I was out of town. She made sure my animals were safe and comfortable and also troubleshooted the problem, let repair people in, and picked up an AC unit I ordered. She was exceptional and I would trust her with anything.”
“We had just moved to Arizona and I was in need of a dog sitter. Was hesitant to use Rover due to past videos I’ve seen with negative experiences. After reading Kendrick‘s profiles and reviews, I reached out to meet up and make an introduction. Kendrick had a calm energy, easy to talk to, physically capable of walking two dogs and most importantly, my animals seemed to trust and respect him. Though we didn’t connect on the day I left or the day I returned, I feel confident he followed through on my requests and the dogs were taken care of. Yes, I would recommend him for watching your dogs or any other animal that he accepts❤️🔥”
“Mikayla just watched our babies (two corgis under 2 years of age) for 5 nights..and they were so well taken care of! She sent pics all the time and dealt with my frequent check ins...I am neurotic doggy mommy for sure! Our pups are energetic and in my opinion a great deal of work..she clearly loves animals and has a passion for taking care of them!”
“Jewel did a wonderful job stepping in with little preparation when my friend couldn’t stay with my pups while I was away. After a video meet and greet, Jewel came and figured out my pups complicated routines. She messaged when she had questions or concerns. Her co-sitter, Scout, was good with my dogs and extra careful with my elderly blind guy. My old guy, PV, wasn’t eating and we figured out that he had been missing his heart medication as well as his pain medication! As soon as his medication was straightened out, he was back chowing down. He fell in love with Jewel, leaning on her for pets — which he never does! Pearl, the diva head of the household, fell for Jewel right off and followed her around and slept with her and Scout. Not only did Jewel take great care of the pups, walking them daily and brushing them, she kept up the house so it was neat when I returned, took out the garbage, got the mail, and did poop scooping in the back yard as well as watering the plants! I will certainly have Jewel stay with my dogs again when I travel. If you have pets you love that may have complicated medication schedules, Jewel can manage and I highly recommend her.”
“We always feel good about leaving our dog with Gretchen when we travel. He has epilepsy and he’s a big guy so it can be a lot some days. He always is happy and well adjusted when we return! She the best!”
“Our experience with Jesse was absolutely amazing! We’ve never had someone stay at our home with our fur baby before, so we were a little nervous at the beginning, but the moment I met Jesse, I felt 100% comfortable leaving Thor and our home in her hands. She offered to come over before we left to meet us and Thor, and to go over details of the stay. She sent pictures during our trip (which I loved!) and I could tell Thor was very happy to have her there. We are so thankful to have found Jesse, and will absolutely be using her in the future! I recommend Jesse 100% !”
About: My entire life has consisted of dogs and cats in the house and I love my furry pals. Currently co-parenting two senior dogs. Can teach sit, lay, stay and better walking habits. Also experience with animal home check-ups, feeding meds and little play dates. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I'm a stay-at-home artist with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily work in a few pet care clients throughout the week or weekend. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or extended stays, I can usually adapt my day to meet your pet’s needs. Let’s chat and see how I can help! I always aim to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible by sticking closely to their usual routine—feeding times, walks, play, medications, and all the little things that help them feel secure while their humans are away. When I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and thoughtful about your pet’s environment. I take the time to understand their personality, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Whether it's giving extra love to a senior pet, administering meds, or just keeping a shy cat company, I care for every animal like they’re my own. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands.
“Amanda was a great sitter for our 2 border collies. She kept us updated and all was great upon our return. Monsoons caused nervous dogs and a power outage, Amanda was a trooper through all of it. We would definitely recommend her.”
“What a wonderful experience with Marnesha. She took care of Rowdy while I was on a mini-vacation. When I came back, Rowdy told me he felt like he was on vacation under Marnesha's care. He is an elder pup and Marnesha made sure he got all his required medicines and vitamins. You will not be disappointed with the care that her and her beautiful dog, Sebastian, will provide. Thank you Marnesha.”
About: I have over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. For the past 5 years, I’ve raised and cared for my own dog; providing daily walks, consistent training, and lots of love. Before that, I spent 4 years dog sitting for friends, neighbors, and family, gaining experience with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and needs. I’m confident handling everything from energetic puppies to older dogs with special routines. Safety, consistency, and affection are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I don’t start my new job until early November so I currently am very flexible with my time at the moment and can accommodate accordingly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or yours, I prioritize comfort and routine. I follow each pet’s individual care plan closely including feeding schedules, walk times, medication (if needed), and favorite activities. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and strive to maintain your dog’s normal routine to minimize stress. In my home, pets have a calm, clean environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and receive attention. I keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Lyz was absolutely fantastic! She watched our two dogs, Molly and Wyatt, for 8 days and went above and beyond in every way. Communication was great—she sent regular photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We have a large, energetic 1-year-old shepherd who’s still very much in his puppy phase, and Molly, our 4-year-old, tends to be a bit skittish with new people. Lyz was incredibly patient, and Molly warmed up to her beautifully. She stayed in our home and treated it with the utmost care—we came back to everything exactly as we left it. It truly felt like she cared for both our pets and our home as if they were her own. I would highly recommend Lyz to anyone looking for a reliable, respectful, and caring sitter. We feel lucky to have found her!”
About: Hey! I'm Lorin, and you'll meet Aero and Vega too of you board with us! I started Rover as a way to get my puppies some outside interaction with new pets and people. I got them RIGHT when Corona started, so I was looking for a way to help them socialize. We've stuck with it, and now my babies are great babysitters. For all kinds of critters! My schedule is usually pretty flexible. I work generally 2 or 3 days a week as a bartender. So most of my days can be finagled. I have a fenced yard and a dog door, a spare room if a critter needs space, and animals have free roam over the house...and the furniture. I love all and will care for all the critters. I bartend a couple nights a week, but can still work out a schedule if you message me. I super appreciate schedules and rules for your critters, the more detailed the easier it is for me. Boarding at my house needs to be talked about as I do have a fence, but there are farm animals and places where a dog may escape.
“Sabrina is awesome!!! You can tell she truly cares about the pets and gives a lot of updates while she is house sitting! I can guarantee we will be using her again in the future for our dogs!”
“Elsa was great, and our pups really liked her. She was easy to communicate with and we were very comfortable leaving Radcliffe and Sophie in her care while we went away for a quick 24 hours. If our calendar and hers match up in the future, we'll happily reach out to her again to stay at our home and watch over the pups :)”
“Kaitlynn is responsible, kind, professional, and accommodating in her work. She even cheerfully rolled with last minute changes in our itinerary. Our dog is very afraid of strangers, and Kaitlynn has helped so much with her training and behavior. It is always a huge comfort to know that Kaitlynn is caring for our pet and our home when we're away. Our dog LOVES her, and so do we!!”

Iron Horse pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah was fantastic! She is warm, friendly, and asked great questions in our meet-and-greet, and the dogs loved her. One of my dogs requires several meds and she handled that well. I appreciated the photo and video updates, showing my dogs were happy. My house looked emaculate when I returned home. I could really enjoy my vacation knowing my babies were being well cared for in their own home. Rover and Sarah are the best!
Bryce had great communication, and he was able to sit for us on short notice. He took great care of our fat cat, Kevin, and he left our home in great condition. Kevin expressed that while he was generally extremely displeased at our absence, would tolerate another visit from Bryce, and he would even consider sitting by Bryce at a comfortable distance.
Lyz was absolutely fantastic! She watched our two dogs, Molly and Wyatt, for 8 days and went above and beyond in every way. Communication was great—she sent regular photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.

We feel lucky to have found her!
Adrienne was great with the puppies and super respectful in our home. The puppies took to her easily and appeared to be very comfortable with her. She sent pictures of them while we were away and gave updates about how they were behaving each day! I would absolutely recommend her and book her again in the future.
We are so very grateful for Theresa! Our pups and our home were taken such good care of. Our trust in her services allowed us to have a proper vacation knowing she had everything under control. They loved being with her and we came home to smiles and a house full of hugs. We look forward to taking more trips while Theresa handles things at home with her superior attention to detail and TLC.
Kat took amazing care of our pup while we were away! She went above and beyond to keep her happy and relaxed—giving her massages, making sure she got plenty of exercise, and even playing calming music to help her feel at ease. It was clear our dog was in loving, attentive hands the whole time. We came home to a relaxed and happy pup. Highly recommend Kat for anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter!
Taylor was the best pet and house sitter!!!! She was always responsive and took excellent care of my dog. She even helped her through the 4th of July fireworks which are a terrifying event for my dog!! She took excellent care of my outdoor plants and left the house spotless. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.
We were so happy to have Vida back to housesit for us again! We recently added a new pup and she made the effort to come prior to the housesitting dates to come meet him. Our boys were taken great care of and will always reach out to her first for any sitting needs!
