Jenni and Matt were awesome. We have two dogs and one with behavioral issues. Jenni and Matt handled the situation so gently and professionally. They knew I was anxious about leaving them and that this was my first time using Rover. They sent so many pictures for just one overnight, and were very communicative. It made me feel so comfortable knowing they were there and they genuinely seemed to care about our pups. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again!

Terry was absolutely incredible and took the best care of our 2 kitties when we went out of town! Daily pictures and videos, so many updates and great communication! I would give her even more stars if I could. We have never felt safer leaving our babies in another's hands, and we could not recommend her enough. She truly goes above and beyond. :)

This is the first time I’ve used Rover and I am so happy with my sitter Jessica! She visited my house twice before we left on our trip and asked great questions. She sent me updates daily at least twice a day. I came home to happy dogs and a clean house! I will use her again!!

I have 4 dogs, 3 large and 1 terrier. Sydney has been watching my dogs when I leave on business trips, which is often. Sydney is a vet tech student which makes me more comfortable in case there's an emergency. One of my dogs is highly anxious with any loud noise and tries to get out of the house or into any locked room. So, one of my favorite things about Sydney is that she is always conscious of the weather and is at my home whenever there are possible storms and I haven't had to worry about damage my Bailey could do. Sydney also doesn't just watch the dogs, but is WITH them - giving lots of love and attention, playing with toys and keeping them happy and distracted. My dogs love to see Sydney and the house is always in better shape than when I've left it. I highly recommend Sydney to take care of your pets.

We loved Tre! From the minute he pulled into the driveway, we felt comfortable that he would be a great fit to care for our enthusiastic pittie mix. He asked pertinent questions and took detailed notes during the meet and greet. Our dog responded so favorably to him and the became fast friends. We highly recommend him and will definitely be working together in the future.

About: I have had dogs of all kinds my entire life and animals have always kept my mind busy. I need them just as much as they need us. I am always home without a strict schedule, so any routine you present for your pet will be pretty easy to adapt to and follow. I have a huge fenced in back yard that allows the animals to get the exercise that’s needed and multiple crates of different sizes if needed.

Aline is patient and loving. She has cared for her puppy for a year now while working long shifts. She still sets time to care for her dog and does everything to make him happy. She loves animals and dogs specifically. She would be a great sitter/walker! I highly recommend Aline.

About: From caring for 10 senior dogs at a rescue, to bathing dogs that got sprayed by skunks, to training and taking dogs on their own outings to parks and nature hikes, you name it I’ve done it! Even flying with dogs! ✈️ I have experience with all breeds, ages, and like to keep pet parents informed with notes & pics. Growing up in farm country taught me to love and care for all animals, but dogs and cats are by far my favorite. I also have experience in administering medications to our furry friends. I left my career of being a nanny in CA to move to this area- to marry my awesome husband. Currently I’m working on a book for future nannies and thus can choose when I write. So the dogs get my full attention and are always number 1 when I’m with them. We live in an 3 story townhouse with a small unfenced yard in front of our home, to a large grassy area on the side of our home, to a giant green grass patch directly behind us just out our back door. The neighborhood is VERY dog-friendly with lots of sidewalks and comes complete with a dog park in walking distance. Our home is dog-friendly meaning dogs are allowed on all furniture and we even have doggie steps for little pooches to get up on our bed if they wish. We also have a 2mile + walking path near us. So we have plenty of activity options. We even have Pluto cartoons for your pet to watch! Pets get 100 percent of my attention when they stay with us. Their comfort and safety is my priority as I do pet care full-time. I also write various articles about childcare/nannying so this can be done whenever and not take away from my attention to your furry friend. Our home has no place that’s off limits to your pets. If they want to snuggle on our bed or relax on our couch or even be in our guest room - they are more than welcome wherever they are most comfortable. We even have a massive bean bag most animals love thinking it’s a giant dog bed 😂.

If you are looking for a reliable sitter for your babies who will treat them as if they’re your own, hire Vanessa! She was perfect. She took our babies for walks and pup cups, sent plenty of pics and updates, asked questions if she wasn’t sure about things and just pretty much went the extra mile in every aspect. We will definitely be using her from here on out every time we go out of town and need someone for our 2 dogs. This was our first time having someone from the Rover app house sit and we didn’t know what to think/expect, but Vanessa put our minds at ease as she was very trustworthy- like a family friend that came to stay, just a very sweet soul! We even came home to our pups being bathed and smelling good :)

About: I had a yorkie terrier named Demi who grew up alongside me until she passed my final year of high school. I have experience with dogs of all sizes but I also have experience with taking care of a senior pet and accommodating them and their needs, as well as spoiling them a little bit more since they’re in the golden years. I love all animals and will be sure to care for them in the safest manner while still respecting them and loving them! From January-June I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays. From July-December I’m remote everyday except for Tuesdays. I’ll be able to work from home and watch your fur babies while you’re away. I am currently a cat owner. I’ll be sure to follow and respect rules of your house but also any routines you’ve already established with your fur baby. My job provides me flexibility so I’ll be able to accommodate bathroom breaks, play time, etc. I’ll be sure to provide your fur baby the best and safest company.
