“Katherine came for 10 days to house sit with our dog and cat. Our flight was delayed and she came back to the house to take care of the animals for us. When we arrived home the animals were well cared for and happy to see us. Everything was perfect. I just can't thank her enough.”
“Laura was exceptional. Made herself available on short notice and extended her coverage when we needed her more days than initially requested and on a holiday weekend. Did a fabulous job with our dogs and our home. Very trust worthy and dependable. Can't thank her enough. The dogs loved her!”

“Carolina did amazing with our pup for an overnight sitting. She communicated well and shared plenty of updates. She even went above and beyond to clean up dog dishes, etc. We're so thankful for her service and look forward to working with her more in the future!”

“Kendra came to us on only a few day notice! She was amazing with our pups, sent us pictures and updates often and left our place cleaner than we left it along with treats for the ladies. Wish we would have found her sooner!”

“Olivia is wonderful! She did a great job caring for the fur babes, and sent very cute pictures and updates! She was also flexible and very easy to work with! Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”

“Brandon did a great job with my big teenager rescue dog, who is super sweet but still working on some aspects of being on leash. I appreciated how communicative, clean, and non-invasive Brandon was in the whole process. I’m thankful that Rover connected us!”

“Shykala took fantastic care of my pup while I was away! She was excellent at communicating and sent several detailed updates which kept my mind at ease. She also kept my home tidy and ensured my pet received his daily medications in a timely manner. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”

“Kagen was wonderful and really came through for us on short notice with a last-minute request! Both are dog and our house were taken care of well in our absence. We look forward to having Kagen stay with Sasha again!”

“Emily was prompt, caring and wonderful with our babies. They usually take a minute to warm up to people but they took to her right away. She kept us apprised and asked questions when she needed. She went above and beyond for us. Will definitely rebook with her.”

“I had a great experience leaving my pups with Aimee. She was very open to meeting them ahead of time so they (and I) would be comfortable before the longer stay and that made such a difference to my more nervous pup. Communication was excellent throughout, and I came home to a spotless house and two happy, well cared for dogs. She took them on walks, even though I said she didn’t need to and gave my fluffy boy an extra brushing. She’ll be my first choice for a sitting going forward and I will happily recommend her to friends.”

“Rachel took great care of our pets, and I could tell they fell in love with her because they were smiling so big in every picture she sent! Would definitely choose her again.”

“Jessica is fantastic. My rather anxious dog took to her right away. I felt so at ease knowing she was watching my cats and my dog. I have nothing but good things to say about her.”


“Kiah was awesome !! This was her first time taking care of Diesel and she did an amazing job. It was extra cold while I was away (-10, - 12 degrees) and Kiah made sure that Diesel was walked and taken care of and that everything was in order at my house. She is kind and respectful and she got along well with him. I will definitely use her again. Thanks Kiah !!”

“It’s obvious that Erin LOVES animals. She took such great care of my two babies while I was out of town for work with regular updates to me so I didn’t miss them so much. She was also very respectful of my living space. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Kimbrey and Sean did a great job sitting for our rescue dog with separation anxiety. They were very patient with her and helped her feel more secure while we were gone. They are a kind and responsible couple.”

“We are so thankful to have found Connie! This was our first experience hiring a house/cat sitter who would stay in our home during an extended trip so we were completely new to the process. From our first meeting with Connie, we knew she would be a great fit. She took such good care of our kitties and sent updates letting us know how they were doing. It gave us peace of mind knowing that she was there spending time with them while we were away. When returned, they were so much happier than they have been after returning from past trips. Such a good experience!”

“Alexandra was great with our pups! We received several updates and pictures during their overnight stay. Felt very comfortable and at ease having her take care of our dogs. Great working with you, Alexandra!”

McKinley pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kiah was exceptional! From the moment we met her, we knew we could trust leaving our dogs in her care. Her communication was excellent—she sent regular updates, reached out right away if anything came up, and shared adorable photos that showed just how happy and well-loved our pups were while we were gone. She even helped with our coral reef tank—something that can be intimidating for many—but she took it on confidently and did a fantastic job. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does! We came home to two relaxed, well-cared-for dogs, all of our fish thriving, and (to our pleasant surprise!) a spotless, tidy house. Our hearts absolutely melted when we discovered the beautiful professional photos she took of our dogs and our clownfish. Kiah truly went above and beyond, making sure our pups were comfortable every step of the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would recommend Kiah without hesitation and will absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Kiah!!

Bresha was so good with our kitty! She kept in close touch with updates and photos. It was nice knowing she could spend a lot of time with kitty even though our cat is pretty independent.., but you never know when she will suddenly get cuddly and want a person near. Felt totally at ease leaving our house and cat in Bresha’s care. Thanks so much!!

Sarah was great - clear, prompt communication and frequent photos. She has calm, responsible energy and my dog loved her. House was spotless when I got back after 4 days. Most importantly, my giant baby of a dog was happy and relaxed. It’s always great to come home to a dog that doesn’t seem to have noticed that I was gone!

Laura did a phenomenal job watching our 3 year old dog who has tons of energy! We would recommend Laura to anyone!!! She took great care of our home, followed our directions and sent lots of updates and photos of our pup which always helps put us at ease. Can’t wait to have her back!

Kendall was so great with our babies! She was so communicative and sent so many pics. You can tell she really cares about the animals she is caring for and treats them as if they were her own. Both our cat and dog take oral medication, and Kendall handled it with ease. She treated our house with respect and even went above and beyond with cleaning up after herself. Kendall offered peace of mind while we were on our vacation and I can't wait to work with her again in the future!
