“Absolutely the best. Tayler was super responsive and made our first experience with Rover incredible. She provided us with some many pictures and updates and our girls loved her. Will 100% be using her services again!”
“Excellent care provided for our two golden retrievers and one cat. We were out of town for a full week. She is dependable, resourceful and just a delight to work with. I highly recommend her!”
“Emma did a great job watching my pup! I’m always a little nervous leaving him with someone new and trusting someone in my home, but she made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. She kept me updated, took great care of him, and left the place spotless. I’ll definitely be using her again for future sits!”
“Alicia was an awesome house sitter! I'd recommend her for anyone. We were gone for a week and Alicia gave us every update we needed and went above and beyond our expectations. We had total piece of mind with Alicia watching our pup for the week. 5-stars, no doubt!”
“Mackenzie is great with our dogs. She has stayed in our house and is an excellent house sitter too. We know our boys are getting plenty of love and attention from Mackenzie while we are away.”
“Scott was a wonderful pet sitter. He sent frequent updates, was patient with our pup (this was his first time with a sitter!), and was really respectful in our home. He’s kind, flexible, great with dogs, and we’re grateful for how well he took care of our pup.”
“Lucinda took good care of our adored dog. She stayed at our house for 2 weeks and left our place spotless and with Cherif in very good form. We would rebook her!”
“Sydney was great during an overnight stay with our cat! She was attentive and I could tell she was really looking out for his needs. When he became a bit antisocial and cried during the night, Sydney didn’t hesitate to reach out and see if there was anything else she could do to make him feel comfortable. Her energy definitely aligned with our cat’s and he got along with her great. Thanks Sydney!”
“Jason was a wonderful dog and house sitter! We received pictures and videos regularly, which were very appreciated while we were traveling. We trusted Hazel was in good hands and the house was, too! We’d definitely have Jason watch Hazel again.”
“Jamie was everything you hope for in a pet sitter. The dogs were relaxed and in great spirits when we got home and the house was spotless. Jamie sent pictures and communicated regularly letting us know how everything was going. We have to French bulldogs that both have daily meds and he kept everything organized and on schedule.”
“We recently hired Kay to petsit overnight in our home for 8 days while we were out of state for business and vacation. She did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of our 2 dogs, a younger male Samoyed and a senior, special needs female Siberian Husky, 2 senior male cats, and 4 male cockatiel birds. Our Siberian Husky also required the administration of daily oral medications. Kay kept in daily communication with us regarding the status of our dogs, cats, and birds, sent us daily photos of our pets, and promptly responded to any of our questions, concerns, or inquiries. Our pets appeared calm, relaxed, and happy in the photos Kay sent to us. Kay also went above and beyond her petsitting duties by bringing in several large packages that were delivered to our home, coordinating access to our home for an outside service vendor, and leaving our house in a clean and orderly manner upon our return. Kay was a pleasure to work with, is responsible and mature, takes her responsibilities seriously, and exudes a true love, joy, and compassion for taking care of animals. Kay definitely put our minds at ease while we were on our trip knowing that our fur and feather babies were getting lots of attention and excellent care during our absence. We would not hesitate to hire Kay again in the future should the need arise. We highly recommend Kay's services to other pet parents. Thank you so much Kay!”
“Skyler was great! Did an amazing job taking care of our pups and keeping the house in one piece. Communication was on point, sending updates each day. Would definitely rebook in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Lauren did a fantastic job with all of our animals (a dog, cat, and three chickens). They were all happy when we got home. She kept us informed and sent daily pictures of their adventures. 😀”
About: I've cared for a very hyperactive and socially anxious cavapoo puppy and I currently live with two cats (a Domestic Shorthair and another of unknown breed). I've also volunteered at animal shelters over the years. I'm working part time at the moment, no longer than 6 hours at a time, so I'll have plenty of time for your babies! I am always looking for more opportunites to spend time with pets! I don't offer overnights, nor can I offer constant care at this time! I have two indoor cats whose health and weightd are monitored well. I cut one of their nails myself. They know that they're not allowed on the counters and sleep in either my or my roommate's room. I've given one of them (the one who refuses to let us cut his nails) oral steroids for asthma.
“Matt did a terrific job caring for my senior Great Dane, Fred. I was very relieved to be able to go on my trip and not be concerned or feeling stressed about my pet and the care he was receiving. The entire week went smoothly and Matt kept me informed how things were going at home. I definitely will use Matt’s services again when my plans call for someone to stay and care for Fred when travel becomes necessary for me. Thank you Matt for excellent service”
“Jeanne was absolutely wonderful! She stayed with our dog and cat for two nights and took such great care of everything. She checked in daily, sent thoughtful updates and photos, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, she went above and beyond by leaving us homemade pickles and marinara sauce. Such a kind and unexpected touch! Our home, dog and cat were clearly cared for with so much love. We would 100% book Jeanne again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
Island Station pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was the first time Lisa stayed with our golden Beatrice. She was great!! She took excellent care of Beatrice and our home. We came back to happy dog and a clean home. Lisa sent regular updates and photos and left a detailed care sheet for us with everything that she did each day. She followed our instructions for Beatrice perfectly. I highly recommend Lisa to take care of your pets. We will definitely rebook Lisa in the future.
Taylor took great care of our two dogs while we were away for a weekend. She sent lots of great updates of the pups and they loved her right away, and spent a good amount of time snuggling with her. I could tell from the updates that they were comfortable with her and not stressed that we were gone. They are very different dogs - one is a senior, one is high energy - and she balanced their care really well. We will absolutely be rebooking with Taylor next time we need a sitter!
We can’t recommend Emily enough! She came through for us same-day, which was a lifesaver, and took such great care of Oliver. She sent us so many updates throughout, which put my mind completely at ease. Emily was kind, understanding, and patient with all my anxious questions. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch your dog, she’s the one. Thank you, Emily!
Our first time with Celeste and we were very happy with her care of our fur kids. She took care of our two old pups - one who loves everyone and one who is less than thrilled with humans in general. The grumpy guy even liked her. And our three-legged cat was happy too. We got photos and videos daily, and everyone seemed happy and content. We will definitely have Celeste over again.
Carly was amazing! Very accommodating last minute to come earlier due to a sudden family loss. She had great communication the entire time and sent tons of pics! Not to mention, Sampson adored her. 😻Already rebooked her and could not be happier with her communication and respect for our home.
Jude was the best sitter I can get my hands on!! It was very last minute and I was afraid I would get a a sitter that wasn’t attentive, but that’s not the case at all. We did a meet and greet and we walked through all of my kittens needs. Jude made sure to follow through all of those needs and more! Sent follow ups and updates on time. There was even a last minute schedule change where I needed Jude to pet sit more and they were very understanding! Very will use Jude another when I go on my trips. Recommend to anyone looking for a sitter that cares and loves animals!!
Sydney was great during an overnight stay with our cat! She was attentive and I could tell she was really looking out for his needs. When he became a bit antisocial and cried during the night, Sydney didn’t hesitate to reach out and see if there was anything else she could do to make him feel comfortable. Her energy definitely aligned with our cat’s and he got along with her great. Thanks Sydney!
Seth is a true professional who cares about the details and the well being of your puppy / dog. Despite short notice, Seth was very thorough in the communication leading up and during the sitting. He provided photos and updates on Maple’s health. Definitely recommend!
Steven is truly wonderful!! I feel so lucky that I’ve found such an awesome human to take care of my baby girl and my home. She took excellent care of my pup, who is now sleeping like a rock from all of the wonderful care and attention given to her. Steven also took wonderful care of my home. I highly recommend her, as I will be using her from here on out!!
Veronica is a wonderful person I couldn’t have asked for a better in home pet sitter. Very communicative from the start, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared and treated both our dog and kitty with so much love and attention. We really appreciated the updates and could tell our pets were comfortable and happy with her. Veronica went above and beyond also taking good care of our home. She is very trustworthy, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly wonderful pet sitter!
Sadie is incredibly wonderful and reliable! This was her third time staying with our crew, and we are so grateful to have her. Her communication, attention to detail, and genuine care make it so much easier to leave with peace of mind. We truly can’t say enough positive things about her!
My wife and I were visiting the Oregon coast and needed a sitter just for the day. I had searched and reached out to a lot of people to try and accommodate our needs. Luckily Alyssa and Max were in the area sitting another pup literally just up the road. We had set up a meet and greet and my dogs knew right away they were a great fit. We were so glad to have found them. At the end of the dog sit they even provided a little report card telling us how everything went, super cute. I would hire them again in a heart beat.
Bonnie has watched our dogs and our home twice now and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides! She even offered to do a second meet and greet to make sure she didn’t miss any details on our dogs unique diets. Our girls are small but they are leash reactive and Bonnie handles them! Thank you for being awesome, Bonnie!
So many wonderful things to say about Grace! She took care of our 6 year-old standard poodle (Atlas) for a week, at our home. She was a great houseguest, an intuitive and empathic care giver, a fabulous communicator. We highly recommend her and will book her every chance we get.
Kimie was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs while we were away on vacation. She gave us complete peace of mind by sending regular updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. It was so clear that she genuinely cared for them and treated them like her own. She made sure they got plenty of walks, love, attention, and cuddles, and our dogs absolutely adore her! We came home to two very happy, well-cared-for pups. We would highly recommend Kimie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive pet sitter.
