“Tayler is a gem! She took great care of both our kitty and our house! Returned home to a well adjusted pet and a super clean house. I'd recommend her to anyone!”
“Jason was a wonderful dog and house sitter! We received pictures and videos regularly, which were very appreciated while we were traveling. We trusted Hazel was in good hands and the house was, too! We’d definitely have Jason watch Hazel again.”
“Simply, Adeline was a perfect pet sitter in pur home. Our little dog is 16 years old and doesn't hear. He also was highly traumatized before we adopted him, so new people make him very agitated. deline was amazing with him. She was kind enough to agree to a pre vacation meetup before our holiday. She listened to our concerns and clearly treated him well. By the time we came home a week later, she was his bestie. Adeline sent us photos periodically with updates and seemed to really care about them, offering to sit for us again in the future. We're so grateful to Adeline for her patience and care; she made it possible for me to relax on vacation knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Adeline!”
“Matt did a terrific job caring for my senior Great Dane, Fred. I was very relieved to be able to go on my trip and not be concerned or feeling stressed about my pet and the care he was receiving. The entire week went smoothly and Matt kept me informed how things were going at home. I definitely will use Matt’s services again when my plans call for someone to stay and care for Fred when travel becomes necessary for me. Thank you Matt for excellent service”
“Donna is wonderful as always. She is the best sitter I have ever found! Siena, our dog, is always in high spirits when we come home and the house is even better than we left it.”
“Scott was wonderful! He did a great job taking care of our pets and home while we were away. He tried multiple methods to give our cat her medicine and was patient and caring throughout. He also made sure our dog got regular walks and plenty of attention. He was respectful, tidy, and left the house very clean. Communication was great and we really appreciated how reliable he was. Highly recommend!”
“Jamie is hands down the best sitter we’ve had. He took excellent of my senior, arthritic, anxious pit bull and 4 ducks. He asked thorough, conscientious questions about their care which showed me how much he really cares. My dog Annie has difficulty walking long distances and Jamie was incredibly patient and kind with her. He also left our house extremely clean. Thank you, Jamie!”
“Mackenzie did a terrific job of taking care of my elderly cat Mia. She sent frequent updates and lots of good photos and Mia really took to her which doesn’t always happen. Great sitter, I would definitely recommend and would hire Mackenzie again!”
“Corvin was a perfect and responsible pet sitter for my anxious Bunny. He sent lots of pics and updates so I felt very confident that B was in good capable hands throughout my absence. He was very respectful of my home, too. I will be rebooking w Corvin very soon in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Lauren is amazing! That was the longest we'd ever left our doofus pups, and it is clear they were loved the whole time. Lauren even befriended our cat who tends to be skittish around humans who are not us. We have never felt so comfortable leaving our animals - we know they are in good hands with Lauren!”
“So happy to say I came home to a happy dog and a beautifully clean home. Lucinda sent pictures of Sam and kept me informed all the way along. I certainly will use Lucinda again. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to take care of your animals.”
About: With 5 cats & 2 dogs of my own, all ranging in age, personality, and care needs, I know how to meet an animal where they’re at. Meeting my animals with love and respect has resulted in a relationship built on unshakeable trust that can easily be recreated with your pet any time it’s needed! I love working with all kinds of animals and getting to know them for their personality and quirks. I’m currently home for the summer from college, so I have more than enough time to hangout with and take care of your animals! Given enough time and notice, any time will work for me! Whatever schedule or necessities your animal needs I’m able to recreate with proper instructions. My animals are used to a schedule so I have no issues following one, whatever works for you will work for me!
“We highly recommend Sparkle! She thoughtfully communicated with us throughout our trip and sent us adorable photos of our cats daily. This made leaving them for the first time slightly less daunting. She took great care of our house and our two kitties. We came home to a clean house and two healthy, happy cats. We are so fortunate to have found her and will request on all of our future vacations.”
“Sydney was great during an overnight stay with our cat! She was attentive and I could tell she was really looking out for his needs. When he became a bit antisocial and cried during the night, Sydney didn’t hesitate to reach out and see if there was anything else she could do to make him feel comfortable. Her energy definitely aligned with our cat’s and he got along with her great. Thanks Sydney!”
“Michelle looked after my 15-year-old cat and 10-year-old (but still energetic) lab mix for a 10 day vacation. Both of the pets warmed up to her right away, making me feel comfortable choosing her to stay in my home and look after my pets. Michelle sent regular updates and pictures while I was gone and left my home spotless and my pets happy. I would highly recommend her pet care services.”
“We can’t recommend Emily enough! She came through for us same-day, which was a lifesaver, and took such great care of Oliver. She sent us so many updates throughout, which put my mind completely at ease. Emily was kind, understanding, and patient with all my anxious questions. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch your dog, she’s the one. Thank you, Emily!”
“Tyler is one of the best Rovers I have ever booked! He followed all of my care instructions and kept me updated on how the dog was doing. The photos he sent me made me feel at ease. I will definitely book him again!”
“Taylor is great at connecting with dogs. We have two high energy dogs. Taylor made sure they had all of their needs met, knew how to engage them and took lots of time on their walks. She had excellent communication and provided a lot of updates when we were away. Thank you Taylor!”
Linwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was the fourth or fifth time Sadie took care of my pets and my home. My pets absolutely love spending time with Sadie, and I can sense their disappointment when I arrive instead - I suspect that only pet owners understand the joy of being a disappointment when they return. Sadie is also an excellent communicator, and I trust her completely.
Taylor took great care of our two dogs while we were away for a weekend. She sent lots of great updates of the pups and they loved her right away, and spent a good amount of time snuggling with her. I could tell from the updates that they were comfortable with her and not stressed that we were gone. They are very different dogs - one is a senior, one is high energy - and she balanced their care really well. We will absolutely be rebooking with Taylor next time we need a sitter!
We can’t recommend Emily enough! She came through for us same-day, which was a lifesaver, and took such great care of Oliver.

If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch your dog, she’s the one. Thank you, Emily!
Robin was absolutely wonderful and we felt super comfortable to have her stay with our pup Pepper. She was very communicative and left our home spotless! She took care to make sure we were keep up to date on everything each day and also to confirm we would be arriving back home on time so our pup would not be left too long. We are so excited for her to come stay and Pepper cant wait to see her again! She was amazing! Thank you
Our first time with Celeste and we were very happy with her care of our fur kids. She took care of our two old pups - one who loves everyone and one who is less than thrilled with humans in general. The grumpy guy even liked her. And our three-legged cat was happy too. We got photos and videos daily, and everyone seemed happy and content. We will definitely have Celeste over again.
Carly was amazing! Very accommodating last minute to come earlier due to a sudden family loss. She had great communication the entire time and sent tons of pics! Not to mention, Sampson adored her. 😻Already rebooked her and could not be happier with her communication and respect for our home.
Jude was the best sitter I can get my hands on!! It was very last minute and I was afraid I would get a a sitter that wasn’t attentive, but that’s not the case at all. We did a meet and greet and we walked through all of my kittens needs. Jude made sure to follow through all of those needs and more! Sent follow ups and updates on time. There was even a last minute schedule change where I needed Jude to pet sit more and they were very understanding! Very will use Jude another when I go on my trips. Recommend to anyone looking for a sitter that cares and loves animals!!
Sydney was great during an overnight stay with our cat! She was attentive and I could tell she was really looking out for his needs. When he became a bit antisocial and cried during the night, Sydney didn’t hesitate to reach out and see if there was anything else she could do to make him feel comfortable. Her energy definitely aligned with our cat’s and he got along with her great. Thanks Sydney!
Seth is a true professional who cares about the details and the well being of your puppy / dog. Despite short notice, Seth was very thorough in the communication leading up and during the sitting. He provided photos and updates on Maple’s health. Definitely recommend!
Steven is truly wonderful!! I feel so lucky that I’ve found such an awesome human to take care of my baby girl and my home. She took excellent care of my pup, who is now sleeping like a rock from all of the wonderful care and attention given to her. Steven also took wonderful care of my home. I highly recommend her, as I will be using her from here on out!!
