“Meghan was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my pups! They were all very well loved and cared for while I was gone. She was very communicative and sent me daily pictures and updates.”
“McKenzie was amazing with our crew. Including keeping us up to date on one of our pups who has a medical issue that requires multiple medications and feeding times. It’s especially hard to leave a pet that isn’t feeling well by McKenzie did a great job. My little dog, who is a bit standoff-ish, let her pet her with a few minutes of meeting her. We hope to use her again!”
About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.
“This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Our cat Paintball is often shy around new people, but when Megan came to the house to meet her, she didn't hide and she let Megan pet her right away! While we were away, Megan was great at sending updates and pictures. When we got home, the house was just as we'd left it. Paintball is anxious in stormy weather and it was nice having the peace of mind that Paintball had an emotional support human while we were away :)”
“Mariana is fantastic! She stayed at our house and took care of our dog for 2 1/2 days. Great communicator, and did a wonderful job! Sent of pics of our dog and spent lots of time with her. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Oli took such great care of our pup and house! We loved the updates and really appreciated Oli’s wonderful communication! We always know Maddie (and the house) is in the best hands with Oli when we are away!!”
“Available for a last minute trip, Cindy was a huge help! Responsive, cared for my dog well and kept me updated. I felt comfortably leaving my home and fuzzy buddy in her care.”
“Paula was amazing with caring for my baby girl, Maggie. I knew there was going to be trouble when I returned. Yep. Maggie is spoiled rotten. I could tell Maggie loved Paula”
“Kim agreed to take on a very challenging task - caring for a beagle who is not only terrified of people but also has epilepsy. During her first visit he had a seizure and I could not have more pleased with how she handled it. There are some people you meet and immediately know that your pets will be well cared for - Kim is that person!”
“Sarah did an amazing job. I am extremely overprotective and type A about my pets and their schedule and she was amazing. She gave my pets a ton of affection, she administered their medications, she maintained our tidy home and we came home to happy pets and a clean living space, and she sent daily updates with pictures and videos like she said she would. She arrived on time and left at the planned time. We would absolutely hire Sarah again. Our dog is actually searching for her!”
“Larry and I LOVE Emily!!!! I have booked a few times and she has taken such great care of Larry. Most recently I was over seas and Larry needed treatment at the vet. No questions asked, she sprung into gear to get him the best treatment possible. She is Larry's and my life saver.”
“Rachel is great! Super communicative, reliable, and punctual. She went above and beyond to take good care of our dog for the weekend. Our dog had such a fun time with her and he seemed so calm and content after she left.”
“Seline was super helpful and great house-sitting our dog and cat when we were out of town for the weekend. She provided photo updates each day and communicated quickly throughout the stay.”
“Noel was kind, quick to respond, polite, respectful, and the perfect fit to watch our pup Yeti. She took great care of him and our home while we were gone! Definitely gave us peace of mind.”
“Kaleigh watched our dog overnight this weekend and was very communicative throughout the time we were away. She sent multiple pictures and let us know how our dog was doing. We appreciate her taking such good care of our pup for us!”
“Nia is wonderful! My pups are anxious around new people and they warmed up to her so quickly. She was excellent with communication — from sending updates about how their days were going to asking questions if anything out of the ordinary came up. After a long trip, I came home to two very happy dogs and a pristine apartment. I'm incredibly grateful for Nia and highly recommend her if you're looking for a compassionate, trustworthy petsitter!”
“Erica was great taking care of our new pup and old cat. Great communication and we had no worries while she was taking care of the house and animals while we were out of the country. We will book her again when we go on trips!”
“Piper is the best!! Piper stepped in at the last minute when we had an issue with our previous sitter. She gave the pups plenty of love and exercise, and FaceTimed so I could go through their routine and virtually walk her through the house virtually. We truly cannot thank her enough!! To boot, she left the house in immaculate shape. Thank you, Piper ❤️”

Jahnke pet parents share their Rover experiences
One word to describe Christine and that is AWESOME. She took care of my 4 month old puppy for my first time leaving her and she nailed it. She kept me updated with the cutest photos and I could tell right away she was loving and caring for my little girl. She even helped with training as we are in a puppy class. I will use Christine in all my future pet sitting needs as long as she is available, as I hope she always is for me.
Alex was amazing - very professional! He was very attentive to our wishes and instructions, excellent communicator, punctual and all the things you would expect from hiring a pro. The house was left clean and he genuinely seems to care for our pets and enjoy their company. Got photos every day and followed our complicated medication schedule. The dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned! We HIGHLY recommend!
Sarah is a dog whisperer! She totally calmed our 8 month old bernedoodle puppy and took such good care of him, including lots of playtime and walks. She also took great care of our house as well. She's awesome and we look forward to her taking care of Ernie again!
Julia was fantastic! Mogs and Amy were so comfortable with her. I think they are actually still looking for her ☺️ I am so glad she was available and understood the dogs story. I would highly recommend Julia and hope I can book her services again in the future.
Lupe is amazing! This was my first time using Rover so naturally I was a little nervous. Lupe came over to meet Bailey before house-sitting and Bailey instantly took to her. Lupe kept me updated on how Bailey was doing, also sending pictures. It was a pleasant surprise to come home and find my house cleaner then when I left it! If you are thinking about using River, I highly recommend Lupe. She went above and beyond!
Erica was reliable and very sweet with our older kitty and nervous puppy. She came in and took over for a few days while our other sitter had to go away for a weekend, and made us feel reassured that all would be well while we were gone for several weeks. We hope to have her again.
Joy was amazing!! She stayed with our dog for 7 days. Our dog can be a lot to handle and she did it perfectly. I received an update and cute photo each day. She was very tidy, organized, and most of all- trustworthy! The list of compliments to give her is endless. Forrest is a very active dog with some anxiety. He usually doesn’t do well on a leash, but Joy was able to walk him with some slack on the leash. That’s a huge milestone for our dog. I know he loved every minute of it. While Forrest was very excited to see me, he kept checking to see if Joy was coming back. He definitely misses her. Joy will always be the first person I reach out to when we need someone to take care of Forrest!
All I can say is WOW! Allie and Nicholas went above and beyond for my two frenchies! One being a 7 month old who is a wild child and got stung by a wasp and Allie quickly took her up to the vet after she noticed symptoms of an allergic reaction. I was incredibly thankful for her paying such close attention to my babies. I have to say I have found my pet sitter from here on out! They are so nice and very meticulous on doing everything exactly the way you want them to! If you use them as your sitter you will not regret it! My mind was completely at ease while I was away. 🥰
Brittney was great!!! We had the best experience with her. She took care of Leo really well and kept us updated the entire time. She gave Leo his meds, took him on walks and sent us lots of pics. We're really happy and Leo seems really happy as well. We will definitely ask her to take care of Leo next time we're out of town.
Kayce did a fantastic job house sitting my fur babies! Even Peaches our usually skeptical cat warmed right up to her. Kayce’s communication with me was wonderful and kept me at ease knowing things at home were going great while I was away! Thank you Kayce!
