“Danielle was prompt and communicative and understanding when we had to come home early. I will ask her first every. single. time I need someone. Courteous and professional.”
“Jordan went above and beyond as a dogsitter at our house! She was so great with communication, we did not have to worry about anything. We returned to our house even cleaner than how we left it. I would recommend Jordan to anyone, and I definitely hope she is available next time we need a sitter!!”
“Mary is absolutely wonderful! She’s so kind, and my dogs love being watched by her! She’s very communicative, and I always come home to the house tidy with a sweet treat in the freezer she’s left! Absolutely book with her for your doggy care needs!”
“Madison and Ryan were amazing with our furbaby! We did a quick trip, but our pup was left in great hands. They were very attentive in making sure Nestle was comfortable and that my separation anxiety was at ease :) I received several adorable photos! We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Tessa was amazing with our two hyper dogs! She was patient, kind, and communicative from start to finish. She definitely made us feel comfortable leaving our fur babies for a few days-sending pictures at least once a day! She even washed the bedding and towels before leaving which was so over and above what we ever expected of her. I highly recommend using her for any and all pet needs. We greatly appreciate all she did for us!”
“Brooke took excellent care of my cat while staying with him for a long trip. She followed his care instructions and sent me great updates and photos. Made me feel much better about being so far away from my cat. Would definitely reccomend Brooke!”
“Jack did a great job house sitting our dogs as always! He was able to accommodate us with a last minute request and we appreciate his flexibility. We definitely recommend Jack to take great care of your fur babies.”
About: I grew up with dogs, and in the last few years have been regularly petsitting for friends and mutual friends who need a dog lover to give them peace of mind that their pets will be cared for and loved on even when you're away :) I work full time, typically either 11-6:30 or 12-8:30 Tues-Sat (usually off Sunday and Monday). Infrequently I have later a later shift depending on work needs, and that usually means 3-11. Overall, I can be available in the morning, evening, and overnight around my work schedule! I'm an active person and love walks, so I can take your pet on very long walks and provide lots of play! I can take them out to the bathroom in the morning and evenings, and feed + administer medicine as needed. Overall, I enjoy getting to spend time with dogs so they will be watched and looked after (....and given lots of treats but that's between me and them)
“Max and Nyka loved their time with Ava! She was an excellent house sitter while we were out of town. Sent lots of pictures and videos so we could check in on our precious fur babies. Max and Nyka (and myself) would definitely recommend Ava!”
“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”
“Kaylynn was wonderful! Our dog doesn’t love new environments, so she stayed with him at our house. It was obvious from the minute that she walked through the door how much she loves dogs and how much Sancho would love her. We had zero concerns leaving him in her care and will absolutely book again!”
“Samantha was an absolute joy to have pet sit overnight. She is extremely responsive and timely, and she follows any directions you give her. She loved up on our 2 crazy bulldogs as if they were her own pups. Samantha even administered eye drops to our English bulldog, which I know is not an easy task. Sadly, she was faced with our Frenchie having some swallowing issues, resulting in 2 vomit incidents. She cleaned that and reported it immediately to me. She left our home cleaner than when we left! I am very picky about my dogs. I would highly recommend Samantha and look forward to our next trip.”
“Dakota, this review is written also as my gratitude. Thank you again for all your time and attention to my dogs for such a very long time (12 days!). They were content and happy when I got back. And the house was spotless! (You didn’t have to clean up!) I felt safe leaving them with you and deeply appreciated your daily updates and photos. I hope you and Spam would be willing to help us out again in the future 😊!!”
“Jessica took such good care of our pup! He often gets anxious when we’re away but Jessica put him at ease. She was so punctual, communicative, & friendly, sent us lots of photos, & left our home neat and clean. Thank you, Jessica!”

“Mackenzie is super helpful and responsible for our puppy while we were away for a music festival. In addition to being a great caretaker of our dog, she is easy to communicate with and did a good job providing updates about our puppy. It is our first time using Rover and we are glad it worked out. So thank you so much Mackenzie and we would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs good care for their dogs.”
“Bree was great to work with and we’d wholeheartedly recommend her to others. She sent us lots of pictures and videos of our pups, and took great care of our home while she was here.”
“Gala did a wonderful job looking after my dog, Ace! I had no issues and she was always quick to respond when I checked in to see how he was doing. Will definitely be back!”

Ivy pet parents share their Rover experiences
Maddie was incredible! Very communicative and asked questions to show how much she clearly cared for my pups. She sent tons of photos and updates throughout her stay. Also, when she left, she left our place just as clean as she found it. I look forward to hiring Maddie again in the future!
