“Christina just home sat my dog and cat for a week. I was leaving the country so was a little anxious before i left as this was my first time to use Rover. But i had no reason to worry and any fears quickly disappeared. She was very professional in that she sent me updates and pictures of their activities every day. She had to leave one day for a few hours but let me know ahead of time then also when she left and came back. She took Roxy (my dog) on lots of walks and spent lots of time hanging out with Roxy and Harlie ( my cat). They, and my house, was well cared for. I highly recommend her and will use her again the next time i go out of town.”
“Ana was a great help to us over Christmas while we were out of town! She sent us plenty of updates and pictures of our boys. We really wanted them to stay at our house so she was able to visit them several times a day for play dates!”
“There is not enough room on here to describe how wonderful Rebbecahlynn is with our babies. She is now their Auntie Rebbecahlynn and they absolutely adore her. She is kind, respectful, responsible and very loving with our pups. We required many special instructions- including overnight stays and she was so accommodating. She also sent photos and videos of our pups throughout the day which was such a sweet surprise to look forward to, while we were away... We truly can’t recommend her enough. She is an absolute gem and we are so thankful to have found her!”
“Sarah was punctual, communicative, and so sweet with my dog. I appreciated her short turnaround response and hope to use her again soon for my frequent work trips. Highly recommended! Thank you!”
“Jean-Paul was an excellent sitter for our two English Bulldogs. He provided lots of pictures and updates, which was great! He’s gone above and beyond to make sure our dogs are loved and cared for while we’re away.”
“Megan was wonderful with my Great Dane puppy. This was my first time using Rover and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Megan explained the process and I felt very comfortable after our initial meet and greet. Megan sent pictures and did a great job of communicating throughout her stay. Thank you!!! I would not hesitate to call Megan in the future.”
“Lisana was wonderful with our little spoiled fur baby. She gave meds on time and made sure our baby was comfortable when she was anxious. Thank you for a job well done!”
“Excellent care as always! Jared truly went above and beyond to spend extra time with our dog while we were away all week. He sent so many pictures and I felt so at ease knowing he was there with him.”
“Miguel is just the best! He takes such good care of my dog go, and sends updates and pictures throughout the day. He is very accommodating to my long hours. My dog is always so happy after his days with Miguel.”
About: I have a genuine connection to animals and care deeply for them. In my own home I care for a senior dog and two bunnies. I always give my animals my first and my best. My schedule is flexible as I prepare for graduate school. My goal is to make some connections with families that need additional pet care that I can work my schedule around to accommodate theirs. In my client's home I will be sure to understand and fulfill all of the specific expectations they have for their pets. I will provide love, comfort and a safe environment for any and all pets. While you are away, at work or just need a little extra support I will make sure your sweet pet feels all the love they are missing.
“**Professional + Caring + Respectful** This was my first time booking a Rover house stay so I was really nervous. Odalys made the entire process so easy, even agreeing to a meet and greet a few days before my planned travel to make sure it was a good fit, and it was. She was very patient with me and my pups, followed the care instructions perfectly, sent multiple pictures and updates throughout each day that I was away, and was very respectful of my home. I could tell from the pics that my stranger averse pups really warmed up to her so I know what she was kind to them. I plan to book her again and would highly recommend her. Her responsiveness, attention to detail, and kindness really set the bar!”
“Best decision I ever made! My dogs were taken care of and loved on and taken for walks! Made my momma heart rest a bit easier while away! Pictures were sent every time they did anything! I came home and they were so happy! Way different than any time I’ve boarded them…10/10 recommend these guys, worth every penny!”
“Jianna was an amazing sitter for our babies!! Our pups immediately felt comfortable with her, she communicated and made sure to give me regular updates with lots of photos and was overall a great person! So happy we found her to watch our babies while we are away!”
“Melisa was an amazing house sitter for our two senior dogs! She provided lots of pictures and updates during our time away and was very responsive. Our house was perfect when we returned and the dogs were very happy.”
“I'm so glad I found Nev for a last minute trip. They were so thorough during our meet and greet, and my shy cat Yuki took to them immediately. I felt so secure, knowing they were with my babies all weekend! I can't wait to book them again.”
“Morgan was a godsend for our last minute vacation sitting. She handled our maniacs like a true professional and we could tell immediately that she was going to be a great fit. Expect great communication and photos if she's taking care of your pups! I highly recommend Morgan and will be rebooking in the future! Thanks Morgan!”
“Taylor and John are a great couple and so good with the dogs. They stayed with the pups and gave them plenty of pets and special walks. They sent daily pictures and upates. The pups were happy and the house looked good on our return.”
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 7. My dad got me my first dog, Biggs, and a cat, Wedge. They were the light of my life and I spent all my time training them, loving them, and learning from them. Since then, I've taken care of all types of dogs and cats, big, small, shy, excitable, young, old, etc. I have experience with puppies and kittens as young as 4 weeks, as well as elderly animals well into the double digits. I have done a lot of research on animals out of both passion and love, and personally saved one of my family members puppies when I was petsitting and noticed he was sick. I am not squeamish, and I empathize strongly with the animals I care for. I've never met one that I disliked, or that disliked me. I've always been popular with my friends and family's pets. I take care of any animal as if they were my own. I'm in college and working part time as a server, but my availability is widely open. Most of my classes are online, which gives me plenty of free time. I always make sure to follow instructions, no matter how tedious or specific, because every pet is unique and I believe each one was put there for a very good reason. I don't mind cleaning up around the home, even if it isn't a pet related mess, and I always try to be as unobtrusive and non threatening as possible when first alone with someones pet. I always let them come to me.
About: A new chapter has me working from home full-time — and I’m so excited to open my home again! I’d love to care for your pup while you’re away, offering cuddles, calm vibes, and a cozy space shared with my two small resident dogs. 🐾 Meet the Crew: Iggy is my 14-year-old tripod and self-appointed commander-in-chief. He mostly keeps to his cozy corner, supervising the house and making sure playtime doesn’t get out of hand. Dolly is my 4-year-old shadow. She’s a little shy at first but warms up quickly. If your pup wants to play, she’s in — but she’s just as happy to nap nearby and match their energy. 💛 My Experience: I fostered dogs for over seven years — from tiny puppies to more sensitive or reactive rescues. That variety helped me get really good at reading dog dynamics, adjusting space, and creating a low-stress, respectful environment for everyone involved. 🏡 My Setup: Pups have free roam of the living room and kitchen (with lots of nap spots — doggy couch included!) I use baby gates and barriers to create calm zones or give dogs space when needed If I step out briefly, I can crate your pup if you prefer — or I can safely separate mine in the bedroom and give yours the run of the main space which I prefer. I rotate rest time so every pup gets solo downtime when needed — it’s always about keeping things calm and dog-centered We have a medium-large backyard (fully fenced, ), no cats or kids, and lots of cozy options for sleep and chill time. Whether your pup is a cuddlebug, a watcher, or a play-in-the-yard type, I’ll follow their lead and make sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for. The house is petite but between the yard and snuggle time it is perfect. It is the second floor unit of a duplex and I short term rent the bottom out so mostly have exclusive use to the yard. I am okay carrying any pups up the stairs up to 30 lbs to help their knees if they need a boast. I currently work fully remote and am home all day — your dog will never be alone for long stretches. My own pups are a huge part of my life (they probably eat better than I do), and I deeply believe dogs rely on us for reassurance, love, and care. I do everything I can to live up to that, every single day. During my break from Rover, I continued fostering — over 100 puppies in the last few years. At the time, I was still going into the office, which wasn’t ideal, but it was still better than them staying at risk in the shelter. That chapter taught me so much about different temperaments, special needs, and how to create an environment where dogs feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for — even when it’s not their usual home. Safety and trust are everything in my home. I don’t take guest pups on walks — my neighborhood occasionally has loose dogs, and I’d rather eliminate that risk altogether. Instead, all outdoor time happens in my fully fenced backyard, and I’m always outside supervising. Two sides of the house are historic cemetery. The other side has three small old dogs. The one is 14 and they are cute just vocal but no threat. There is a full 6’ wooden fence between. Indoors, I keep the environment clean, calm, and free of hazards to help everyone feel safe and settled. I also regularly review the Red Cross Pet First Aid app to stay up to date on emergency protocols like choking or injury. Your pup’s comfort and safety are never left to chance — they’re at the center of everything I do.
Mahncke Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Absolutely recommend Lisana! After moving to a new city and not knowing anyone, we were in desperate need of a trustworthy pet sitter. From the start, Lisana was organized, attentive, and easy to communicate with. During our first meeting, she took detailed notes and made sure she understood our pup’s routine and quirks. Our dog can be anxious and tends to pull on walks, but Lisana handled it like a pro. We felt completely at ease leaving our pup in her care and are so grateful we found her!
Grey was an absolute delight! He consistently went above and beyond to ensure the well-being of our fur babies. He diligently took care of them, kept us informed and updated daily, and showed great consideration for our home. We would be thrilled if Grey could watch the fur babies again!
Best decision I ever made! My dogs were taken care of and loved on and taken for walks! Made my momma heart rest a bit easier while away! Pictures were sent every time they did anything! I came home and they were so happy! Way different than any time I’ve boarded them…10/10 recommend these guys, worth every penny!
We were nervous for someone we didn’t know to pet and housesit. Steven did two visits with us and our pets to make sure we all felt comfortable. Upon returning home from vacation, our pets were happy to see us but they didn’t seem overly excited or stressed. This was a good sign that our pets were relaxed with Steven while we were away. We will be asking Steven to sit for us again in the future. Very happy with his care of our pets and home.
I was really nervous finding a sitter at first because my dog is 80+ pounds, living on the 5th floor of a downtown appt, but Jessica has made my life SO easy and sooo stress free. I was able to go out of town with no worries at all for my pup. She took him on long walks everyday and sent plenty of photos. Highly recommend!
Shayla did such an awesome job taking care of Cooper. She sent lots of pictures, videos, and kept me updated on how he was doing. I would trust her to stay again in our home anytime. She was sweet and respectful and I can tell she really loved on our boy. She took him on walks, played with him, and followed all the instructions. She took care of our house and took out/brought in the trash and recycle bins for us. We are so glad we found her and will definitely be using her again in the future.
Courtney was amazing!! She was great at communicating and sending lots of updates throughout our trip. Banks had a great time and our place was left just as clean (if not cleaner) when we got back!! Will definitely be using Courtney in the future, and would recommend her to anyone that asks :)
