“Justine was awesome! She took care of our 3 babies, ages 7, 2, 1.5 (2 big dogs and 1 small) and kept in constant communication which me. She sent us lots of pictures and videos, gave our oldest his medication and a bath, and kept the home neat and tidy. She used our car to take them to the dog park and was a safe driver with no issues. She also took them on lots of walks! Definitely recommend hiring her!”
“Amanda is an absolute gem! She took such great care of our girls, Piper and Roux. They got walks, cuddles, time outside to play, and we got photos and videos throughout the time we were away. Amanda made sure to connect with us on prep beforehand, as well as any questions while we were away. When we got home, both pups were excited to see us, but had clearly enjoyed their long weekend with Amanda! Outside of just the pet sitting, Amanda took great care of our house. We came home to find everything in its place and her used towels and linens were even stacked in the laundry room to mistake it easier for us to We would absolutely use Amanda again - she is fabulous!”
“Maureen was amazing giving us updates and sending pictures so we felt at ease even when we were across the country from our Lily. She also left a super sweet note and magnet she’d made. Will definitely be rebooking.”
“María watched our 6 month old puppy for several days, and she is fantastic! She gave us frequent updates and took a lot of great pictures. She made sure our pup was well cared for and had fun while we were gone! She is very compassionate and an animal lover. On top of taking great care of our pup, she also took time to make sure our apartment was tidy when we got home. We will definitely have María look after our pup in the future!”
“Anna was a great help to all of us when she cared for our pups… CC & Gus. She was good with both dogs, kept them happy and safe plus well fed. She seemed to enjoy her time with them and sent pictures. She stayed with them while we were gone a couple of days which made it possible for us to enjoy our time since we knew the dogs were well taken care of. Thanks Anna!”
“Brandy did a wonderful job staying with our dog in our home. Our dog was well taken care of, and our house looked perfect when we arrived home. Brandy kept us updated and sent pictures every day. We highly recommend her and will definitely book her again,”
“Ana was amazing she took banana on lots of walkies and was very good giving her all the love while we were gone on our trip I would definitely book again and recommend you do so if your going out of town.”
About: I was raised by veterinarian and trained to love and care for different animals. I currently own a dog and cat and my goal is to give pets the best time in this world! I am a freelancer so I have a flexible schedule that helps me take care of my pets and others people pets. I take my dog to dog parks and long walks which can work for other high energy dogs I take care of other people pets like they are my own. Trust for me is very important and it’s a priority as well as making sure my clients feel good leaving their pets on my hands.

“Matthew did an excellent job watching both my house and dogs. He was very communicative, sent regular updates and pictures, and took great care of everything while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs and home were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend him.”
“Yesenia is fantastic! She cared for our kitties like they're her own. One, in particular, was going through some health challenges, and Yesenia took extra care to tend to her medication and special diet. She also played with them and kept us updated throughout, including lots of pictures.”
“Natalie was so great!! She was very kind and flexible and even left the house clean. She sent me lots of updates of the dogs and followed all the instructions. This was my first time having someone I don’t know watch my dogs and she was fantastic!”
“First time using Rover and we were lucky to find Audrey and have her watch our sweet, older, cat. We needed someone to stay at the house for a few days while we went out of town, which can be scary when you don't know the person, but Audrey was a perfect fit. She was very attentive to our kitty and did not hesitate to reach out with any important questions ...and sent us lots of kitty updates. I highly recommend her for her your pet sitting needs.”
“Alexis was amazing with our 2 dogs. She took great care of them both while we were away for the weekend. We really appreciated all of the communication and pictures from her. Thank you again!”
“This is the second time we’ve had Stella stay at our home with our dog and have been 100% happy with her stay! She’s very communicative and sends lots of pictures- I can see how much my dog likes her! And it somehow looks like nobody was even in the house when we return home. Highly recommend!”
“Mackenzie was an excellent house sitter for our Aussie while we were out of town for a few days. She was very communicative, took numerous photos, and gave our pup much love and attention. Would definitely recommend!”
“We had a wonderful first experience working with Yun through Rover! From the start, her communication was excellent — clear, prompt, and reassuring. She was incredibly thorough and attentive, and it’s clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. Our pup was in great hands, and it showed. We especially appreciated how considerate and caring she was throughout. Looking forward to booking with her again soon!”
About: I got my license to babysit when I was 12 years old! Since then have worked babysitting for various families, housesitting for 3+ nights, and dogsitting/walking for others throughout my neighborhood. Grew up with a dog and love animals I still am in school, so could walk before school (8am, but would prefer closer to 6am time) or afterschool (after 4pm) on Friday I end at 2, so can walk after that! Saturdays I work until 11am, but otherwise am avaliable for the entire weekend! I take care of my own dog (15) walking and feeding him, ensuring he’s washed and not sick or dirty! Also playing with him and taking him on hikes/to parks
“Victoria watched my sweet, anxious doggo for a quick weekend and was very wonderful! She took great care of her and gave my pup the time to warm up and met her where she was at. Definitely would use Victoria again and recommend her to anyone needing some great care/love of their pet!”

Jasmine was a fantastic dogsitter who took the best care of our pup in our home while we were away for a few days. She is very responsive and detail-oriented and we had little concern for our dog while out of town because we knew she was being well taken care of. We look forward to utilizing Jasmine’s services again in the future!
Alex was great with my senior dog and puppy - they can be a handful. I appreciate her careful attention to detail and keeping me updated on them. It’s so nice to have a reliable person watch your house and pets while you are gone, knowing they do better in their own environment. I highly recommend her.
Daryll Ann J , and her husband are fantastic. They are fantastic with Madonna . I'm unfortunately not in such a good place or situation and I don't want to lose the place I am currently staying at due to Madonna's barking . I look forward to booking them hopefully twice a week while I'm at work or if I have unusual work schedule .
Chase stayed at our home with Rocky for 11 nights and took great care of him! We received at least a couple pictures and videos every day, which made us feel at ease knowing he was doing well and being taken care of. We would recommend Chase to anyone and have already planned for him to watch Rocky again. Thank you Chase!
Justine is very professional, caring and thorough. She took excellent care of Danso and followed all instructions perfectly. She went above and beyond and i felt more than comfortable with time she spend watching after Danso and my house. She sent lots of detailes updates with pictures and video. Highly recommend and will be booking her again.
