“Tatum is a wonderful pet sitter! It is so nice to be able to travel and have peace of mind that your pets are well taken care of. She sends photos and texts daily, which is very much appreciated. I will definitely be reaching out to Tatum the next time we travel.”

“David was awesome with our girl. Let us book on fairly short notice and sent frequent updates and pictures. Will be contacting him again when we need a sitter!”


5. Katharine V.

“Katharine was a wonderful sitter for our week away. Rocko seemed very loved in our absence and the house was left in perfect condition. Looking forward to using her services again!”


6. Valory N.

“Valory is amazing. She’s professional, courteous, attentive to detail, and willing to go the extra mile; not just for the owner, but also for the dog! My pup whined more when she left then when I did for my trip. 100% rebooking with her in the future. Couldn’t ask for more.”


7. Claire W.

“She updated me everyday and sent pictures. The boys were very happy and missed me so much that they said hello to me for 5 minutes and were outside for the next hour🤣. My home was clean and how I left it.”


8. Monroe B.

“Mo is very kind and is excellent with our Gracie girl! We also appreciate her level of communication with us. We already have her booked for future dates!”


9. Christina D.

“Best dog sitter we have had to date. Christina was amazing from the get go. Kept us up to date and made sure our 3 dogs were well loved and taken care of while we were on vacation. Would recommend her to any and everyone!”


10. Shelby B.

“Shelby was so good with my pup! I was apprehensive about leaving him with someone new but Shelby went above and beyond and I will no doubt use her again to take care of him! She kept me updated, took him to play with her pups, and he was pooped when we returned! Highly recommend!”


11. Brianna P.

“Couldn't be happier with Bri service! From the moment we met, it was clear they truly love dogs. My pups instantly felt comfortable with her and I could tell they were in good hands. Throughout the stay, Bri kept me updated with pictures and messages, showing how much fun Remi and Charlie were having. Whether it was walks, playtime, or cuddles, they were provided so much attention and care. I came home to a happy, well-exercised, and relaxed dogs, which made me feel so at ease while I was away. Bri was also very professional—punctual, easy to communicate with, and left everything clean and tidy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Will definitely be booking again!”


12. Deborah R.

“First time Rover user and first time leaving our puppy home alone with someone for more than an hour or so. Deborah came with confidence and made us feel very much at ease. Took care of our puppy well and had no issues. Would highly recommend.”


13. Mia S.

“Mia made fast friends with my 2 rescues! And they don’t usually warm up to strangers quickly. (They weren’t treated well by the people who had them for the first 6 months or so of their lives.) Mia kept me up to speed on their adventures while I was gone, sending me pictures and telling me how they were doing. I am so glad that we found Mia - I will definitely use her again to care for my kids! 🐾🥰”


14. Lisa V.

“Lisa was GREAT taking care of our two somewhat high maintenance dogs while we were gone for a week. We needed someone who could stay at our house most of the time since one of our dogs gets anxious while left alone. Lisa took care of all their specific needs, communicated with us along the way, and kept the house in order despite the messy pups. She even kindly checked the forecast for storms to make sure she was with the dogs since they are scared of storms – which was so considerate. We highly recommend Lisa and will definitely ask her to watch our pups in the future!”


15. Megan K.

“Megan was friendly, professional and punctual. She stayed in contact while I was away (which helped to work through some unforseen issues) and sent pictures and videos of my cat while she house sitted. She also seems to be some kind of cat whisperer since my cat is not friendly with many people but seemed to take to her immediately. She also helped me navigate the Rover site for booking what I wanted and planned ahead to avoid letting my cat out into a storm (I was out of town and unaware of the situation). I would highly recommend Megan for your pet sitting needs.”


16. Madeline K.

“One of the sweetest and most caring pet sitters! Our 2 golden doodles adore her. I have always felt that they were safe and loved.”


17. Daniela D.

“Daniela was great! Very attentive and did a great job taking care of Banana!”


18. Deborah L.

“Deborah was so sweet and caring of the dogs. Our babies are very large and can be intimidating if you don't give them a chance to show that they are loving, but she handled meeting them with care and confidence and they took to her almost immediately. She was respectful of our home, cleaned up after the dogs who are very messy/dirty, and also took care of the fish while we were away. Our newfoundland with separation anxiety is acting normal now that we're home, whereas he usually acts sick when we leave him alone for only 5-8 hours; so we know he was given lots of love and attention. Thank you Deborah!”


19. Marisha R.
“Mar has watched my pets several times and I’ve had no issues! She went out of her way to make my pets comfortable and I was able to relax while out of town.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6 and I’m great with all sizes, breeds and ages as I’ve helped multiple dogs give birth and I’ve also taken care of geriatric dogs. I have volunteered at Our Farm Sanctuary and I foster for The Rescue Haven My life has always been surrounded by dogs, I love my animals more than anything. The first thing I do when I wake up is take care of the dogs, take them on a walk and then give them their breakfast and enrichment bowls/mats. I base my daily routine off my pets! I have fenced in yard and three fixed golden retrievers that are sweethearts. If you use a crate, I do ask that you provide that as I only have 2 of my own and they are occupied by my two youngest dogs. I have to crate Tucker and Dixie because they will eat anything when they’re bored, INCLUDING a wall 🤣 the crate will be cleaned and sanitized before pickup. I also ask that you provide your own food, that way there’s no upset bellies! I have plenty of natural treats if you’re okay with your dog having them
