“Brandi housesat for me this weekend and she was fabulous! Very communicative and my pups love her. She even got my skittish pup to warm up to her. Already booking her for some other visits!”
“We had a fantastic experience! Our sitter was incredibly patient and understanding with our dog, making the whole process stress-free for us. They sent frequent updates and lots of adorable pictures, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We truly appreciated the care and attention given to our pup and would absolutely book with them again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Maria. I have never had a bad experience with any of the walkers, sitters, etc. with Rover but Maria is in a class all her own. She watched my boy, Toby for a week and he was so loved and cared for. She sent pictures of their extended walks, and many of her just loving on him. She took him to her house and introduced him to her cats and it was amazing. I know he was so happy and therefore I never had to worry once about him. I highly recommend her as I will be using her again and again. She is a treasure!!!”
About: My first job out of college was at a doggie daycare, and I still consider it one of the best jobs I ever had! As a kid, I knew the name of every dog in my neighborhood, and as an adult I have pet sitted for friends when they are out of town. I recently fostered four kittens for a month while working on a ranch in Montana. I am not working a traditional job right now, so my schedule is pretty flexible. If I have enough notice, I can usually make it work! I'm an energetic person who needs a daily walk as much as your pup! I'm punctual, reliable, and not afraid to scoop up some poop.
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter to care for our two very active German Shorthaired Pointers! One of our dogs is especially anxious during storms, and Brianna handled the situation with so much patience and compassion. It was such a relief knowing our pups were not only well-exercised but also emotionally supported while we were away. We came home to a spotless house and two happy, relaxed dogs—no small feat with this energetic duo! We’re incredibly grateful for the care and attention Brianna provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!”
“Lexi was a wonderful sitter for us when we needed to be out of town! We returned to a happy pup and a clean home - what a joy! We will definitely be turning to Lexi in the future when we need someone to watch our sweet dog again.”
“Jayla was patient and loving to our dog who for the first day and a half was acting very weird and hiding out in one of the bedrooms. Jayla was very communicative and her concern showed through her texts. Turns out it was the fire alarm beeping because the batteries were dying. Our dog was very happy once the batteries were removed!! Jayla stayed overnight and maintained a spotless house for when we returned. She was respectful and loving toward our pet.”
“Jamie stayed with our boy for a week. We haven’t been away from him in two years He sent multiple pictures each day. We came home to find Mika relaxed and not stressed of going to a boarding facility. Jamie also brought in our garbage cans and mail to give our house a lived in feel when away. Highly recommend and will use him again!”
“Cobie is a dream sitter! She came over for several meet & greets so our shy, nervous dog could warm up to her. As I knew would happen, they became fast friends and Alice had a wonderful week with Cobie. Communication was great and we felt very secure leaving our pup and home in Cobie’s care. Will definitely rebook!”
“Michael is very delightful and gave devoted attention to our dog. Michael followed our dog’s daily details and we had a happy pup when we returned. Michael was very communicative and included photos to us throughout his stay. Five paws given!”
“Alise is fantastic! She was able to settle 2 anxious rescues quickly with her calm demeanor even as a new member to the pack. She was very attentive and caring and gave plenty of updates on the well-being of our dogs in the midst of an unexpected medical issue. Thanks, Alise! Janet and Benny are eagerly awaiting their next sleep over.”
“Danielle is an above and beyond sitter. She was very communicative and cared for my girl like she was her own. She will without a doubt be the first person I call from now on. I can’t endorse her enough!”
“Jessie was great! Super communicative and attentive to details of their care. She sent the sweetest pictures of them and went above and beyond playing with them and ensuring they were well taken care of. I’m definitely going to continue booking with her.”

Jacobsville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nevaeh was fantastic! I was away for a week and she cared for my 2 dogs. One of them is a rescue and he’s very reactive. Nevaeh handled him without issue. Even when she encountered a neighbor with his dog off leash, she knew exactly what to do. She sent me regular updates and kept me informed. That allowed me to relax and enjoy my trip. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
This was my first experience using ROVER and from the beginning Trinity was great! She was quick to respond and always kept me up to date on how my puppy was doing. I have a 14 week old cane corso and he happened to get injured right before we had to leave and Trinity was wonderful with him. She spoiled him rotten gave him his medication and took him on nice long walks. Will def call her again.
