“Althea is the best! She was amazing with our dog and treated him like her own! She sent us plenty of pics and updates, which gave us total peace of mind 🥰 We came home to a calm, happy pup and a spotless house! I can’t recommend her enough. We definitely won’t hesitate to book her again!!!”

“Carly did a terrific job taking care of our anxious dog while house sitting. We stayed in contact throughout the weekend, and lots of photos made it clear our pup was having a great time! We travel often for our kids sports and will absolutely rebook with Carly.”


“Savannah was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog Riley and we would definitely use her again. She was very caring, responsible and professional. Savannah had such a gentle way about her when she interacted with Riley and it was very clear that she loved animals. I felt totally comfortable leaving Riley with Savannah and it was such a relief to go away on vacation knowing that Riley was being taken care of so well. We were so lucky to have found Savannah and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a capable and kind per sitter.”

“Kiera was excellent with my Teddy! She sent pics and updates while I was away which helped ease my nerves about leaving him home. I can’t thank her enough, and I will DEFINITELY book with her again.”

“This was the second time I used Stephanie and she was just as incredible this time as she was last. She sent me lots of pictures and I could genuinely tell she was showing my dogs love. I would highly recommend Stephanie.”
“Kristin did a great job sitting for our dogs. She spent several days with them and they had a great time. The dogs seemed very comfortable with her and we were happy she was able to spend lots of time with them. She provided updates multiple times per day including pictures of them around the house and around the pool. We came home to happy and stress free dogs. We would definitely book her again!”

“Clarissa was a huge help for my family the weekend of my wedding. She not only took care of the dogs but she also brought our Rusty to our wedding photos. We’re so grateful Rusty could be a part of our day and Clarissa is the one that made it happen. Thank you Clarissa!”

“Erica was absolutely amazing and I would recommend her to anyone! She was so sweet and took great care of both of our dogs while my husband and I were out of town. She sent multiple updates with pictures of them throughout the day. She stayed at our house and the place was spotless when we returned. My dogs were very comfortable around her and got lots of cuddles while we were gone. I will definitely reach back out to Erica again when needed!”

“Adam was great…communicated well and took great care of our dog. I would highly recommended Adam as we plan on booking with him for future stays.”

“Lauren was very detail-oriented and thorough. She followed my instructions to a tee and asked her own questions to make sure she was prepared. She left my house exactly how I left it. She took such great care of my fur baby and always gave descriptions that were intentional and creative. I will recommend her to anyone and will use her again for my next vacation away.”

“Laura is our to go to pet sitter. The girls love having her around. They get lots of loving and play time. Always get daily updates and pics on how everyone is doing. Come home to happy pups and a clean house. This is like our 4th or 5th time using Laura and will continue to book her.”

“Zoey was such a great dog sitter!! Very thankful she cared for my girls while I was away. Pictures and updates were given throughout the booking and I’m always thankful for that. She even tidied up before she left. I would definitely book again.”

“Jillian was a great sitter and companion for Potter! She was thorough and kept me in the loop with everything going on at home, which allowed me to know he was well-looked after and I could enjoy my time away. I would love to have her look after Potter again in the future!”

About: I’ve cared for pets for decades! I’ve cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, rats, bunnies, and more! I’ve cared for all ages and needs levels of dogs and cats. I’ve cared for anxious pets who won’t eat and laid-back let’s who just want cuddles! All animals welcome! Over the summer in free quite a bit! I will have a few things planned here or there but I’m super flexible. During the school year, evenings and weekends are best. I live in an apartment so having your pets in my home will be more difficult but not impossible. I would prefer your home because the pets will be more comfortable and relaxed! Providing the best environment for your pets is my priority.
“Our experience with Jeffery exceeded expectations! Our dogs were well cared for and very content when we got home. Impressive given one of ours is a geriatric toy poodle! Our home was clean and orderly! I highly recommend Jeffery!!”

“Karleen went above and beyond while caring for our home and pets. Not only did she handle all the basics flawlessly, but she also took extra time to make sure everything was truly taken care of, sending regular updates, checking in thoughtfully, and handling small details we hadn’t even thought to ask for. It was clear she genuinely cared, not just about completing the job, but about doing it well. We came home to happy pets and a house that was just as clean (if not cleaner) than we left it. That level of attention and reliability is hard to find. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Karleen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly goes the extra mile.”

“If I could give 10 stars I would! Magalay is so great with our animals. She’s super responsive, and takes the most beautiful photos while she’s house sitting. I never have to worry about how our fur baby is doing while out of town as she keeps us updated and my dog absolutely loves her (and she only loves her family). I can’t thank her enough for all the time and care she gives and she’s even amazing with our 18 inch bearded dragon! Highly recommended and I’m so pleased I found her and she agreed to be our pet sitter!”


“I haven’t taken a vacation in 5 years… I was a foster mom for Kittens when I lived in Boston, now living in South Carolina. I have several little fur babies that I don’t trust with many people they are my children. When I got onto Rover‘s website, I read review after review after review. Jill had all five stars and for very good reason. She’s very attentive to my animals, very kind, professional, took pictures every day of the babies, kept me in the loop when she was leaving the house and when she was in for the night. I hired Jill to stay for a week in my home while I was away and she worked her full-time job during the day. My mind and my heart was at ease thanks to Jill. She’s great!!!!”

Kiera is such a wonderful rover! She took her time to get to know my dogs and was very attentive to their needs. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone to love their babies and home! Kiera ensured I was able to have a stress free vacation knowing my babies and house was in good hands!

Phoebe was an awesome sitter for our pup, Sierra. She was able to housesit for us on short notice after a last minute cancelation and we actually had to leave keys for her to let herself in! Our girl is going through chemo treatments so she hasn't been feeling the best and Phoebe adapted to her needs quickly! She was really communicative and sent lots of photos which is always appreciated! We will definitely use her to sit for Sierra and highly recommend if you need an attentive sitter!

Sandra was amazing to both my dogs 🤍 she sent multiple videos and pictures while we were away which we appreciated, this was our first time booking a pet sitter through Rover and it did not disappoint. Sandra was very kind and she even cleaned our place without us asking her to, we will definitely book with her again, she gave me peace of mind leaving both my dogs 🐶🐶

Josh did a fabulous job watching our dog and cat while we were out of town for 8 days. He provided daily updates with pics, he was very reliable and responsible, while also taking care of our plants and keeping our house nice and clean. 100% will be using Josh again in the future!
