“Eryn was so nice and our energetic dog instantly liked her. She was understanding and great with our dog’s leash reactivity and even gave her some Thanksgiving turkey while we were out of town over the holiday. Highly recommend!”

“One of the best and thorough dog-sitters to date. You would be foolish not to hire her. I got regular updates and communications about my pup, down the consistency of his poop. The best! Hire her! She is the “Dog Nanny” “period”!!!!!!”

“Julissa stayed in my home for 6 days caring for my two dogs. She was promt and responsive and my dogs were happy and healthy when I arrived home. She also left the house in perfect condition. I would not hesitate to hire her again!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 yrs old there’s nothing I love more than taking care of dogs and making sure there happy and need everything they deserve, I’ve taken care from puppy to senior dogs. Til this day I make time for animals I have 4 days off out of the week and I would love to help out those who need genuine care for there dogs I always make sure my dogs are on a leash, making sure there’s no wild animals out in the yard before I take them out, if I’m walking your dog and I see another dog coming I put myself to the side holding the dog close enough in where the other dog don’t get near us.
“Amazing!!!! Absolutely amazing. Doggies were so happy and tails wagging when we came back from our trip. House was left clean and as we left it. We came back worry free and for me that is HUGE! Extremely happy and grateful. Thank you Samantha!”

“Shea was the perfect dog (and house) sitter. We came home to a relaxed senior dog and the house just as we had left it. Shea is professional and responsive. We will definitely be booking with Shea again!”

“Shayla did a wonderful job taking care of our boy. We needed someone on short notice and she was super accommodating! Our neighbors message me while we were away stating how impressed they were with how attentive she was with Floki, which certainly put our mind at ease. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Kayla did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and our home while we were away. She was very responsive to my inquiries both before our booking and while we were away. We will definitely contact her for future needs.”

“Ace is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!! Ace is so caring, compassionate, and dedicated to the happiness of her Adopted Fur Babies.... Which funnels through to the Fur Babies Momma. Ace is in constant communication and asks questions to assist with the Fur Babies happiness. We looked forward to all the pictures that Ace sent us. We could tell from these pictures that our Fur Babies were well taken care of and happy. Ace follows the plan of care so well, of course, Clyde and Bella are there to assist. lol Ace was so respectful of our home and left it in the same neatness as upon arrival. If I could, I would give ACE 10 stars!!!!! 🐾🐾💕”

“Thank you for communicating with me throughout your stay. I’m really glad to have feedback on how my dog is doing and what additional support I need to give him. I really look forward to you sitting with him again.”

“Erin was the perfect dog (and house) sitter. We came home to a relaxed and happy senior dog and the house just as we had left it. Erin went above and beyond by bringing in mail and trash can, watering plants and even reached out to see when Riley could go on the lawn after it was fertilized. Erin is professional and responsive. We will definitely be booking with Erin again!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the genuine care and attention I bring to every dog I meet. As the neighborhood Dog Uncle, I take pride in giving each pet personalized care that fits their specific needs—whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs structure and play, or a senior dog who needs patience, comfort, and a slower pace. For 19 years, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety, routine, and overall happiness. I pay close attention to the small details—feeding schedules, medications, behavior, energy levels—because the little things are what keep dogs healthy and feeling secure while their owners are away. Pet care isn’t just a service for me; it’s part of my lifestyle and part of how I give back. As a father of two teenagers, I make sure they learn the same values I live by: compassion, responsibility, and respect for animals. Under my guidance, they see what it means to treat every pet like family. When you book with me, you’re not just getting a sitter—you’re getting a Dog Uncle who treats your dog with the same love, structure, and attention I show my own. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Dog sitting fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for dogs is already part of my lifestyle—I have my own and understand their needs. I’m a 20-year union ironworker, and during seasonal layoffs I have a completely open and flexible schedule, allowing me to devote full attention to every pup in my care. I have a secure kennel setup in my backyard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs to keep your pup company. Crating is available anytime if needed. Inside, we have a comfortable play area for safe, supervised fun. My neighborhood also offers parks, bike paths, and scenic trails along the Connecticut River—perfect for walks, exercise, and outdoor enrichment.
About: I’ve been working with animals since before I knew my times tables. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, fish, and more, and I love every minute of it. I’ve participated in training with my dog when she was a puppy, and am able to further use those skills and knowledge to help me care for other’s animals too :) I currently work full time, so morning and dinner time check-ins are easiest for me. Mondays and Fridays I only work until 12:30PM, so drop-ins are easier then. Let me know though if you have a weird schedule, we can work something out :) I have a large back yard with plenty of safe space to run. The pups are always supervised, whether on or off leash. I always prefer to meet with a pet before the care period so I and my pets can get to know them :)
“Tori was great. She took the time to come and meet Peony prior to her stay, and took lots of time to ask thoughtful questions so that she was prepared to provide the best possible care for her. During the stay, she was very communicative and provided lots of pictures. I felt very comfortable leaving Peony with Tori, and would definitely book her again!”

“Audrey is wonderful! She kept my little senior cat so happy and content during my trip. Jasmine is very social and Audrey sent me wonderful photos of her each day, as well as a report that she was doing well. Jasmine needs medication and Audrey took care of that as well!”

“Jenny took wonderful care of our dog Millie while staying at our house. She left the house super clean and Millie seemed very happy when we returned. We are booking her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hey y’all! I’m Jasmin and love dogs and cats of any kind! I’ve grown up with cats and dogs in my home and learned from young age to take care of them. After the passing of my beloved dog Lexi, I missed being around animals. I love taking dogs on hikes (if allowed by owner of course) and being out in nature with them. Or having cat cuddles on a couch and keeping them company. Whatever your beloved pet needs! Nothing short of cuddles/belly rubs or play time! I'm also comfortable with taking care of special needs dog/ cat if needed. Making it a fun / comforting day for your dog or cat is a must for me! I am available during early mornings and afternoons for care during the week. Also on weekends I am open to provide care for longer overnight if needed! I am responsible/respectful in client's home with their pet. Any special requests for their care is my priority and will make sure everyone is comfortable!
Metro Center pet parents share their Rover experiences
Eryn was amazing dog sitting at my house. I was very worried about my nervous pup, how he would be for the week; but apparently as soon as I left, he was fine! I especially am grateful for Eryn extending her stay unexpectedly, when I had flight delays and could not get home in time for the original time. She even handled the huge snow storm like a pro, because she is. My pups very obviously adore her and I hope to hire her again soon!

Matt was absolutely wonderful. Our lab loved being with him, and Matt was so conscientious in taking care of our house. He sent us pictures or videos everyday of our dog, a great reassurance. And he went up and beyond our expectations: we were delayed by 24 hours getting home because of weather conditions, and he agreed to stay with our dog until we returned. We would definitely ask Matt to house/dog sit again in the future, with no hesitation. Thank you, Matt!

Joseiris was wonderful! Our pup has separation anxiety and can't be left alone, she accommodated our request to just come hang out with him for a few hours so we could have a night out. He can be a lot when we first leave and she handled him with such grace and kindness.

This was my first time using a dog sitter through Rover and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Marie exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment we met, I knew Pete would be in great hands—and I was right. She sent me frequent updates and so many adorable photos, which made it so much easier to be away from my dog. It was clear they bonded quickly—honestly, I think my dog was a little disappointed when I came back! Not only was my dog happy, safe, and loved, but Marie also left my home in better shape than I left it. That level of care and attention is rare. She’s truly a gem, and we were so lucky to have found her. I’d recommend Marie to everyone without hesitation!
