“Marlies was so great with my animals! She was so caring with them and gave us peace of mind on our trip. She is very experienced with animal care and you can tell with the quality of service she provides! Highly recommend!”
“Connor was an amazing care giver for our Lily Mae. She is a pup who loves attention and thinks she is a lap dog (at 50 lbs) and he gave her all the love she needed and more. He sent lots of pictures and was so good at communicating with us. The house was just as we left it. We appreciate all of this!”
“Maria was so great! She kept us updated with pictures of the doggies and was very responsive. She took good care of the dogs and fulfilled all our wants and needs. Definitely recommend!”
“Excellent care, communication, and it was clear she loved on our three girls well while we were gone! She wasn’t afraid to ask clarifying questions and she made sure everything was taken care of.”
“Amy was fantastic! She sent pictures of the cats and updated me regularly on them. Absolutely would recommend her for pet sitting and will book her again on my next trip. Nothing is better than having peace of mind that my pets are cared for when I'm out of town.”
“Maria was fantastic! We left on a weeklong trip and Maria not only took such great care of our pups, but she went above and beyond to spoil them. We appreciate the constant communication and feeling like we could leave out fur babies in great hands! Thank you for everything and we look forward to our next booking with you!”
“This is the second time sitting for Cosmo and she continues to take great care of him, while keeping me updated on his day to day activities. She’s quickly becoming a regular for Cosmo”
“Jane is caring, thoughtful, and our 3 fur kids were well-taken care of. The house was very clean, and she kept me updated via text messages throughout her stay. She really loves animals and we felt very comfortable with her in our home. She is a wonderful, trustworthy dog sitter!”
“Ashlee was amazing with my two dogs! She arrived on time, followed all my instructions perfectly, and made sure they both got all the attention and love! I could tell they were happy and well cared for. I will definitely be booking with her again through Rover!!”
“Carla is a fantastic dog and house sitter! Reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We came home to a happy dog and a tidy house. Highly recommend and will definitely book again.”
“We used Arisha for the first time this past weekend for staying at our home with our beloved fur baby as a trial before we went on a longer vacation. My experience was nothing but positive. She was on time. Communicated regularly. Sent photos and left our house as we had left it. I look forward to using her again and have already booked with her. Highly recommend.”
“Ashley is awesome. I feel so comfortable with her in our home. I use Ashley whenever I come to Florida. Coco remembers her immediately when she comes in the door. We’ll definitely be using her in the future.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and my own pet for a little over seven years now. I am most experienced with senior dogs, as most of my friends and family have older dogs with plenty of extra needs. I have fostered puppies for a few years now, and I am very well-versed in potty-training puppies as well! I currently have a full time job, Monday through Friday 8-5pm, some Saturdays 8-12pm and off on Sundays. I will be available to care for your pets in their own environment and safe place so they can feel comfortably in their own space and keep their same routine. I have a large, fenced backyard free of any harmful plants for my dog. Plenty of toys, a neighborhood perfect for walking, practicing leash training, and ample space for my pet to relax and play! I adhere to a schedule, whether it’s for my own or for my client, and I am very strict about it unless there is room for extra time depending on the dog’s mood/behavior. Very energetic, so your dog will receive proper exercise, attention, and so much love in my presence!
“Hannah did a great job with our animals while we were away over the weekend. We get very worried about our pets while we are away and she sent us updates and pictures on how they were doing. A couple of our pets have nervous behaviors and she was very flexible and understanding with their care. Thank you!”
“Kayleigh, Thank you so much for loving our fur babies! You were amazing! Beau and Bella were so happy to see is and it was you who made this trip worry free!!! Thank you!”
About: I have always been a dog and animal lover. We have had a dog in the house for my whole life and caring for them is something I always get excited about. Dogs are probably one of my favorite things. I have pet sitted numerous times individually, most recently for a dog that didn't seem to like anyone, but loved me. I will care for and play with your dog like it is my own. I will brush him/her, run with, give belly rubs, walk, and even pick up waste. I love all sized dogs and all breeds. I will also cat sit, and have experience with that, as well as cat sitting for one who required special care. I am currently working full time on weekdays and will start graduate school soon. I am available to care for your dog or cat after 6pm weekdays and anytime weekends. I am very adaptable in different homes or settings that you live in and that I will be caring for your pet in. I can pick up waste in the yard and great at coercing with treats.
“The boys absolutely LOVED her and I also got lots of comfort with cute videos and pictures of the boys! Scooby says 100/10 best play mate and Prince says 100/10 best snuggles! Thank you!!”
“We enjoyed working with Sabrina as our first Rover experience and definitely plan on using her when we go out of town next. She provided many pupdates, pictures, and followed our instructions well. The whole process was very easy and went as well as I could have hoped!”

Lucy was fantastic! She loved on our fur babies and can tell they were in great care. We appreciated that she went the extra mile for our rambunctious pup. We definitely appreciated that she made sure their paws were clean before coming back inside after those rainy days.
Maria was amazing!! I was anxious about leaving my two kitties for the weekend because they’re 9month old crazy teenage kitties but Maria took such amazing care of them that after her first visit I knew they were in great hands. She was calm and loving to them and treated my house with extreme respect. I have already booked her again for another weekend and wish I could give her more than 5 stars.
We had such a great experience with Reagan! They were reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much about our dog. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be booking again, highly recommend!
Brittany was incredible taking care of our 4 fur babies. We were impressed with her energy and excitement during our meet and greet. She took notes on instructions and followed them exactly. She kept us informed through pictures and videos which were truly appreciated. Great young lady, very energetic, personable, trustworthy and respectful. Highly recommend and will use her again. Great Job Brittany and Thank You
Very attentive to our pups. It was very stormy during the time and I knew our dogs probably were muddy and gross but the house looked great when we came back so I assume she cleaned up a bit to help. Sent plenty of messages and updates. 10/10, would book again.
Yiana was recommended to me by my regular pet-sitter and started off on a great foundation of trust. This was a last-minute request and Yiana was more than accommodating and extremely easy and polite to talk to. Paris was extremely comfortable and felt right at home while she was at Yiana. Yiana also shared regular pics and updates of Paris - extremely critical for me to know Paris was doing ok, considering her first time with Yiana. I really appreciated that Yiana made Paris wear pets' car seat belt when she took her over to her parents'. I only have great things to say about her and safe to say, I have found my go-to sitter for Paris. Highly recommended !!
