“As always, Mia takes wonderful care of our cat when we're out of town. She is so reliable, keeps things neat in the home, and keeps us up to date on how well he's doing!”

“Rachael was a very kind and flexible sitter. She was excellent about being in touch and sending photos of my cat. I came home to a clean home and a very happy cat. Would absolutely recommend her.”

“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Hunter! From the very beginning he was professional, friendly, and responsive. He offered to come by beforehand so we could meet and feel comfortable, something we really appreciated. He is truly one of the nicest people we’ve met, and he took exceptional care of our two dogs during our 10-day trip. Hunter went above and beyond in every way. We came home to happy, well-cared for pups and a peaceful house. I can honestly say I’ve never felt so stress-free leaving our dogs and home in someone else’s care. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can fully trust. We will absolutely be booking Hunter anytime we go out of town. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals from dogs and cats to chinchillas and lizards. I love taking care of all creatures (even the ones others don’t). Currently I have my own dog, a chinchilla, a chameleon, bearded dragons, and a snake. I have daily, weekly, and monthly tasks for all of them. I have an older pup (she is 21). She gets along with other dogs and likes to play. I also occasionally watch my parent’s dog who is 5. I can separate animals if needed as well. I have a garage, yard, and multiple floors
“Chris was fantastic in every way. He was super easy to communicate with during the entire process, and he has a calm confidence that put us at ease right away. Our 2 older (12 years old) pups love him and feel comfy and trusting in his presence. Chris was easily able to manage different diets and medication administration. He took the dogs for multiple walks and met all our expectations. He was a very respectful house guest. We’d absolutely call Chris again in the future, and we’re so appreciative of his help this week!!”

About: Experienced in medication administration, post-operative care, and working with reactive pets with calm and patience. I can provide playful engagement, daily walks, and lots of love. Pet care is my main focus, so I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, meals, medications if needed, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get regular walks and playtime, receive any medications they need, and feel safe and comfortable. I keep a close eye on them, give plenty of attention, and provide updates so owners feel like their animal is safe and well cared for. I provide picture and text updates everyday.
“Jessica stayed at our home for two nights to house sit our 2 year old, extremely demanding, puppy. Jessica takes great care of our home and our puppy. This booking required giving our pup medication via a special method and it was no problem. Jessica is fantastic. We really appreciate the care she provides and we return to a happy puppy.”


“Lila did a fantastic job. We continue to be impressed with her professionalism. She is very reliable, communicative, and she always sends lots of photos. Such a relief to know our cat was in good hands during our vacation!”

“Zoe did a fantastic job of watching our house / dog - Ella Mae - for an extended weekend. She stayed at the house and took great care of Ella Mae. She was a great communicator giving us updates at least twice a day (with pictures) if not more. Would definitely recommend and would love to have Zoe back to house sit / watch Ella Mae in the future.”

“Lauren is wonderful with my dogs and house sitting. She is quick to respond and loves them like I do. Both dogs seem well rested and content when I return home. I will use her again.”

“Holly was so patient and kind with our newly rescued boxer, Sophie. Sophie has been through trauma and has finally gotten comfortable with us over the last few months, but is still very unsure of new people. We were nervous to leave her for so long, but Holly gave her all the time and space she needed. Holly’s multiple daily updates with pictures and videos helped ease our minds and we looked forward to them each day. Holly also took good care of our house, getting mail, shoveling snow, and even dealing with an errant smoke alarm. We would definitely recommend Holly and will trust Sophie’s care to her in the future!”

About: I got my first pet when I was 5 years old, and since, I’ve had more pets than I can count on both hands. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and rabbits, and multiple pets at once is no issue for me. I’ve been working with pets since I was 12 years old and have extensive experience in house sitting, pet drop ins, and dog walking. I’m also studying animals in college, and hope to pursue a career in animal science. I love animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, and I hope to help with your pet! I currently work part time, so I’m available most hours of the day on weekdays and weekends. When you book with me your pet will be my priority during the times we agree on, and I’ll make sure I give my full time and effort so when you return they’re just as happy and loved as you left them. I have experience with animals who need to be crated, fed complex diets, aren’t potty trained, and need extra love and attention, and it will be no problem for me to accommodate pets with extra needs. Any instructions given to me will be followed exactly as written, and your pet and home will be safe with me!
“Makayla took such great care of our Golden, Mack! She was very responsive and kept us updated on how the weekend was going. She was very respectful of our home and I think Mack had a great time. Would definitely have Makayla watch him again in the future!”

“Paul was amazing with our stay-at-home pups! Both dogs felt right at home with him at the house and we felt great knowing he was caring for them while we were away. Great with sending pictures and communicating questions. We feel fortunate to have found you, Paul!”

“Christina was lovely and attentive to my elderly cat's needs and quirks. She sent pictures twice a day too to keep me updated on how he was. So grateful for her help!”

Lila did a longer house stay with our two pups and was extremely communicative, understanding and respectful. We’d love to have her be our go-to moving forward. This was our first time using Rover and 5 stars to Lila! Thank you for taking such great care of Fóa & Birna.

We had a fantastic experience with Jamie. She cared for Breckenridge and Banx for two weeks over the holidays, sending updates and photos almost every day. Our pups were happy and well looked-after, and she treated our home with respect—she even did some laundry and tidied up before leaving. Highly recommended; we'd definitely book her again
Rita took such good care of our sensitive and sweet Coconut. We appreciate that Rita kept our dog active with tons of walks. Rita also brought a mountain of packages inside for us and left the house in great shape. We highly recommend Rita and would def use her again for dog sitting
Amy did a wonderful job watching our dogs and home over the Christmas holidays. Our dogs love her and we will definitely use her again. She is very caring and conscientious. Definitely went above and beyond even though she was here during the power blackouts. Can’t say enough about what a great job she did for us! 😍

Recently, we had a bad experience with Rover and a sitter, Alicia H. neglecting our pets. Jessica restored our faith that Rover has caring, dedicated people. She took excellent care of our older dog and our cat. She provided updates frequently throughout each day. The weather affected our electricity at one point, and Jessica kept us informed on our pets and house. Jessica went above and beyond during her time with our pets. My wife and I recommend Jessica to anyone looking for one of the best sitters on Rover!

Almost don’t want to leave a great review because we’ve struck gold and want to keep Mary to ourselves!! She went above and beyond in every aspect and clearly cares so deeply for animals. Trustworthy, responsive, kind + left the house even cleaner than we left it. Our very anxious pups were calmer than we’ve seen them in a long time. Speaks worlds to how great she is. 10/10!!

Paul was amazing with our stay-at-home pups! Both dogs felt right at home with him at the house and we felt great knowing he was caring for them while we were away. Great with sending pictures and communicating questions. We feel fortunate to have found you, Paul!
