“Alaina was very communicative throughout her stay with Charlie. He was well cared for and loved while we were away. The house was clean upon return and the linens had been washed and dried. We will definitely contact Alaina again. It was a great experience!!!!”
“Chloe is the best. I had a change in plans and had to extend my trip and she agreed to stay longer with my babies. I never worried once about them. Amazing sitter!!”
“Ian did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my dog and cat. He sent pics and updates everyday! It really put my mind at ease to have updates like that. I will definitely be rebooking him again!”
“Danielle C was an outstanding pet and house sitter! I could not recommend her more. She communicated with me throughout her stay, sent amazing photos and clearly loved being with my dogs. I can’t wait to have her back :-)”
“This was the first time leaving my pup alone, but Cheryl eased my mind every step of the way. Not only were my babies clearly well cared for, but she left our apartment in better shape than we’d left it. Highly recommended!! She definitely went above and beyond!!”
“Elizabeth stayed at our house to pet sit for our senior kitty. Elizabeth gave picture updates and was communicative the entire time while we were away. When we arrived, our kitty had clearly gotten tons of care and attention! The house was also kept clean and tidy just like when we left. Will definitely be using Elizabeth on future trips!”
“Joel was an awesome sitter for our pup. He was quick to respond and went above and beyond. Our dog was happier when we returned than with any other rover we have used. Will re-book him in the future!”
“Highly recommend Martha! This was my first time leaving my pup with someone I didn’t know, and she put all my worries to bed after the meet and greet. Sent daily pictures and messages, so I knew my dog was having a nice time :) Very attentive to the details I laid out and responsive to any questions or concerns I had throughout the entire experience and left my house just like it was when she arrived. I would book her again and would easily recommend her to anyone else!”
“I never write reviews because I like to maintain my privacy. Nevertheless, it would be an absolute crime if i did not leave a review for Bianca. She is a top tier sitter. She created daily reports on how my fur babies did each day; sending me pictures throughout the day. She kept my house spotless, but most importantly my fur babies happy. She took them on multiple walks and I could tell they now miss her since we have returned. She will now be my 1st choice every time i use Rover. Thank you Bianca!”
“Ashley took amazing care of our two dogs. Provided us with so many photos and updates and just went above and beyond. She made us feel completely comfortable that our dogs were in great hands while we were out of town. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Khalifa took the absolute best and very spontaneous care of our two dogs. She’s absolutely trustworthy, super communicative. Always kept me updated about my baby’s and they were so happy. I highly recommend her!”
“This was my first time using Rover and an overnight sitter. Carly was excellent! She kept in touch about how my dog was doing and made me feel comfortable. She kept to the dog's schedule perfectly and my indoor/outdoor cat even came inside to hang out - which he usually doesn't if I am not home. My home was immaculate when I got back and both pets were happy and healthy. I will 100% use Carly again to watch my pets when I am out of town. I highly recommend her for all of your Rover needs.”
“Karen went above and beyond while house sitting for our dog Bella. Bella was given loads of attention, the plants watered, house in order and great communication while we were away. Fantastic, I will definitely request Karen’s care again.❤️”
“E is wonderful - calm and kind hearted. My animals were enamored from the get go. E spent the night at my house on short notice and will be Jake’s new dog walker! Highly recommended!”
“Stacy was fantastic! My pup absolutely loves her! They bonded really well. She gave him plenty of exercise and he came back happy and tired! I highly recommend Stacy and will be using her for my future needs. Thanks again, Stacy!”
About: I've care for all sorts of pets for years. I understand the needs of the busy families who want to make sure their pet babies are cared for while they're away. I enjoy making sure pets are cared for by daily exercise and quality love and care. I will ensure the pets are well fed and take care they are given enough attention. I will ensure the food/water is filled as per the client's request. I will make sure to keep the home of the owner safe and secure for the pet and secure a clean space for the pet as well.
“William was terrific. He was very flexible with our times as they changed with family visiting. He was very good with our two retrievers - fed them, walked them and kept an eye on our crazy pup, who gets into everything and tears up our yard when not supervised. I would trust William to house sit our dogs again in an instant. I highly recommend him.”

Ryan was awesome with our retrievers. He house sat while we were away: fed them, stayed with them and even took the youngest to doggy daycare. He sent lots of photos to let us know everything was okay-which gave us peace of mind. If we needed to leave again, we’d fully trust Ryan to watch our pups in our house.
Josephine not only showed up on time, she was able to come early with just 45 minutes notice when I had gotten our departure time wrong. She was great with our dog and texted me updates re how things were going. We used her all day the first day and 1/2 of the second day. Our dog seemed to like her and have fun with her. We highly recommend Josephine.
David came highly recommended by a close friend who has trusted him for years to care for their pets while they travel frequently. From the moment I met him during a meet-and-greet at Brodie’s favorite dog park, I could tell he was genuinely kind and incredibly comfortable around dogs. He built rapport with Brodie right away. Before our trip, David also took the time to visit our home and familiarize himself with the space and surrounding area. He asked all the thoughtful, practical questions you’d expect from an experienced and responsible dog sitter, which immediately gave me confidence. While we were away for a week, it was clear David went above and beyond. Through our home security system, we could see him consistently playing with Brodie, taking him on daily walks (at least twice a day), and giving him plenty of attention and care. It was obvious they formed a great bond. When we returned, not only was Brodie happy and well cared for, but our home was in excellent condition. David kept everything clean, maintained the pool, and even watered our plants daily—details that did not go unnoticed. This experience proved to us that David is someone you can trust 100%. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet care.
Adam is a very caring person who watched over our standard poodle and our house for over 2 weeks. He is very communicative. We got lots of videos and messages about how things were going. He played with the dog a lot and took him for great walks. We would absolutely use his services again!
Jennifer was the absolute best! She was very thorough when we first met. Jennifer gave me updates daily with pictures. She took such great care of our Ruby, 100% will ask her to stay and see watch Ruby again. If you want someone who is very reliable, thorough, caring and devoted to your pet, book with Jennifer!
