“I can't sing Aerial's praises enough!! We have had her sit for our girls several times, and she’s the best sitter we have ever had- and we’ve had many! She was proactive to ask for a phone call prior to our meet up to ask great questions about the one chihuahua we had at the time, and what she could do to provide the best care for her (which no other sitter has done). Martini is an older girl with congestive heart failure so we like to keep her as calm and happy as possible and prefer someone to be at our home more often than not. Not only did Ariel provide the best care and attention possible with walks, buggy rides and lots of couch and cuddle time, she also stays here at the house (or is out walking them) pretty much the entire time -which she totally does not have to do and is not expected, but she didn’t want to leave Martini's side. Before our first sit I told Aerial that we were thinking about adopting another senior dog and she was so happy to hear that as she has fostered many dogs in the past and is a huge proponent of that. She told me that if we ended up adopting another dog before our trip that she would be more than happy to help Martini assimilate to the new dog as she has lots of experience with that. We found the perfect companion dog for Martini just days before our trip and I don't think we would have felt comfortable bringing a new dog home or going on the trip if it weren't for the loving expert care that we knew Aerial would provide. She even offered to come over a few nights prior to our trip to sit with Martini and our new chihuahua Frida while we went out to dinner with friends so they could get used to her and her dog Brandon prior to our trip. That was so thoughtful and appreciated and just another example of how she goes above and beyond even though she doesn't have to. Her assistance in assimilating Frida into our household was such a gift! She is like a dog whisperer and an angel at the same time 🥰 Her dog Brandon is such a sweet boy and took to Martini and Frida right away and you could tell they were going to be great friends. He brings the same loving sweet energy as Aerial does, so don’t let that deter you from hiring her if you are worried about having another dog in your house. Martini usually ignores other dogs but you can tell she loves Brandon. The photos and updates Aerial sends are so great and sweet! When traveling we feel we can totally relax and enjoy our trip without a worry about how our dogs are doing with her loving care for them. 10/10 recommend her expert care”
“Heather was absolutely amazing with my girl Maggie! From the moment we connected, she was incredibly communicative and attentive—asking detailed questions about Maggie’s routines, preferences, and even quirks. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she genuinely cared and wanted to make sure Maggie was comfortable and well taken care of. I felt totally confident (and honestly, very relieved) leaving the loml in her hands. Highly recommend Heather to anyone who wants a sitter who treats your pet like family! (She also sent a TON of pictures which really made my day ☺️)”
“Della was attentive and caring during the week she spent with my cat! I received regular updates and was confident that my furry friend was in good hands the whole time. Would recommend!”
“Hannah was fantastic! She gave our boys lots of attention, followed all of our instructions, and updated us with photos on a regular basis. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to have her stay with our dogs again.”
“Camille was the perfect sitter for our Percy, as well as taking care of the house while we were away. She clearly doted on our little guy and sent us pictures of their time together which reassured us that he was being well cared for. An excellent house sitter who left things better than she found them, we'd be thrilled to have Camille watch Percy and our house again!”
“This was the first time we had left our dogs with a Rover sitter and we were nervous! But Kaitie was amazing!! 5 stars for sure!!! 🌟 We had a great peace of mind during our trip, knowing our dogs were in the best hands. She sent us the cutest pics and updates throughout the two nights we were out of town. We have two pups, one is a senior. She is a bit high maintenance with multiple medications and stranger danger issues — but Kaitie administered her meds no problem and all went smoothly. Kaitie will definitely be our first choice for a sitter the next time we leave town! 💜”
“Haylee was great with all of my special requests, was responsive, and receptive and kind to my always unpredictable, sometimes rude little cat. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Victoria watched my sweet, anxious doggo for a quick weekend and was very wonderful! She took great care of her and gave my pup the time to warm up and met her where she was at. Definitely would use Victoria again and recommend her to anyone needing some great care/love of their pet!”
About: Hi there, I’m Elise! I have many years of experience caring for dogs and cats! I am comfortable taking care of pets of any size and any breed and have experienced pet sitting since I was a little kid. I am currently a pre-veterinary college student looking hoping to make a little extra cash, so this would really help me out! Plus, I am living in a dorm and miss my pets, so I am excited to give your furry friend some love:) I am working weekdays 8:30-4:30, so I can come check up on your pets before and after work on weekdays, as well as during my lunch hour (usually from 12-1). My weekends are more flexible, so if needed, I can come anytime throughout the day Saturday and Sundays! I am willing to take care of your pets however you feel fit! Let me know your usual routine with your pets and I will do what makes you and your pet comfortable!!
“Alina took good care of my dogs while I was away for several nights over an extended weekend. She was fast at responding to messages and was great with communication and pictures. I appreciate her help and willingness to stay in my home to take care of my dogs.”
“Second time with Kristen and she is the best. So responsible and such an animal lover. I feel so relaxed when I’m away knowing she is with my babies”
“Izayah was great, looked after the house and pup really well. Great to communicate with and super chill. Always a good sign when he comes to visit and the dog is all over him #!_ excited to see him!”
“We found Leanne when another dog sitter cancelled the week before a trip. Leanne was a good communicator and clearly experienced with dogs of all sizes. She bonded with our German shepherd right away. We came back to a clean house and a happy dog. We will absolutely use Leanne again!”
“Elizabeth is responsible, communicative, and takes wonderful care of our Lola. The house is always spotless upon our return, and Lola is happy! Elizabeth is great about taking Lola on little adventures and giving her baths when necessary. We highly recommend her!”
“Evelyn was amazing. She sat for both of our pups during the holidays and kept us thoroughly informed throughout the booking. She left our apartment spotless and took excellent care of our two dogs. We have had previous sitters who left the pups alone for long stretches of time but Evelyn spent most/all of the booking actually with our dogs. I will highly recommend her!”
“Ashley was so great with our Banjo! She sent photos and regular updates and gave us so much piece of mind while we were away. We’ll definitely have her back again!”
“Clare was awesome! She came by to meet my pup before her overnight stay. During her stay she sent me lots of pics of him, video, and was super communicative. Definitely recommend her and will book with her again in the future!”
“I needed a house sitter fast and I found Jordyn, she was flexible and was able to take care of my dog. She was such a great sitter! She kept me updated and sent me pictures of my Chewy :) I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I grew up taking care of our family dog who was the best Mutt ever. She lived 16 beautiful long happy years. I don’t have any dogs of my own at the moment which means I can give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I have a hybrid work schedule and fairly flexible weekends right now. Especially if I know in advance and can plan for your pet, I will easily be able to accommodate. I show them love and attention while making sure they are physically very well taken care of. I personally live an active lifestyle and can easily bring them along with me if your pet has lots of energy or is used to lots of activity.
“She was wonderful! Very communicative with updates and pictures. Dogs were clearly well taken care of and happy! She even left everything very clean and left us a sweet note. Will definitely be using her again!”

Midtown District pet parents share their Rover experiences
Marina was amazing — easily the best sitter I’ve had! She took care of Louie while I was out of town, and he loved her instantly. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. She sent regular updates with photos and videos, took him on plenty of walks, played with him, made sure he was fed, and even gave him his meds without any issues. Would definitely book her again!
Johnathan showed up promptly and sent us updates regularly and you can tell he cares. I would use Johnathan again.
Heather was amazing with our dog Millie and our puppy mogul! She definitely had her hands full with our pups and she was AMAZING to say the least! We got picture updates every single day and she left our house cleaner than we left it! I will definitely use her again! She was amazing with our dogs!
We have had Niayla cat/housesit for us twice and both times have come home to happy kitties and a clean house!
Andrea took such great care of my boy while i was gone and gave us lots of photos and updates. Also took care of my home as well and left everything clean. Would 100% book her again if we needed somebody.
Kourtney is the best dog sitter! She is reliable, kind, caring, dedicated, and experienced, and our dog Finn loved hanging out with her! Kourtney met us prior to our trip to get acquainted and understand more about Finn, she gave us a questionnaire and asked important questions. During her stay she was very respectful of our home, and sent us daily photos and updates. She talked to Finn and kept him company, walked him, and took great care of him! We are so grateful for Kourtney and the wonderful, exceptional care she provided! Thank you so much, Kourtney!
Tristan was an absolute lifesaver on multiple occasions for our recent vacation!! Not only was she able to come through for us super last minute due to a very late cancellation by the sitter we had lined up, but she also changed her plans to help us when our flight home was cancelled and pushed to the following day. In these two stressful situations Tristan provided peace of mind by being incredibly flexible, responsive, and most importantly, very friendly! In terms of the actual dog sitting, she was excellent as well - she provided the perfect amount of communication/ pictures, wasn't afraid to ask questions if something came up, and also left our place in immaculate condition. We felt our dogs were in very caring hands! We were so glad to have been connected with Tristan through Rover - we will absolutely be reaching out to her for future trips, and would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!
She was wonderful! Very communicative with updates and pictures. Dogs were clearly well taken care of and happy! She even left everything very clean and left us a sweet note. Will definitely be using her again!
Hannah was absolutely wonderful sitter for Kiah. She immediately warmed to her and sent amazing photos throughout. She had such a good time and I didn’t worry once!
Jarrod took great care of our 2 dogs and cat! - and of our home. He sent us picutres and was attentive to the animals' needs. Thank you!
Sarah was perfect for our dog sitting needs! She was very attentive to our senior dog’s needs. Sarah quickly responded every time I reached out to her and was great about sending updates while we were gone. We felt very comfortable with her staying in our house and will use her again and again!
Yena did a wonderful job taking care of my two young kitties while I was away for a few days. She followed instructions ensuring that they stayed on their feeding schedules and had enough play time during the day. I received many updates/photos on how my cats were doing. I felt at ease leaving her with my cats. I would definitely recommend her services and consider again in the future.
Hannah was great! She stayed with our two pups for a quick one night stay while we were out of town for a concert. She was very communicative and easy to work with. We came home to two healthy, happy dogs and a clean house. We would definitely use her again!
Elizabeth is responsible, communicative, and takes wonderful care of our Lola. The house is always spotless upon our return, and Lola is happy! Elizabeth is great about taking Lola on little adventures and giving her baths when necessary. We highly recommend her!
Coco took great care of my dog at my home. I ran super late because of an event I had to be at, and she was incredibly understanding, staying with my dog until I got home.
I was nervous using someone new to watch our sweet but needy pup, especially since it was for a 5 day trip across the country. Kimberly was amazing, though, from coming over prior for a meet and greet to sending photos and videos updates to clearly giving Sadie Mae lots of love and exercise. I would definitely rebook with her.
Hailey was the best dog sitter for Bowie! He is usually so anxious when I leave town, but was so calm and comfortable with Hailey. She was very respectful of our home and left it spotless. I would definitely recommend Hailey and hope to use her again for my future dog sitting needs.
We found Leanne when another dog sitter cancelled the week before a trip. Leanne was a good communicator and clearly experienced with dogs of all sizes. She bonded with our German shepherd right away. We came back to a clean house and a happy dog. We will absolutely use Leanne again!
Kaylee was amazing with my dog . She is so attentive to my dogs need and communicate a lot with me . Thank you again for taking good care of my baby
Nicole watched my dog Sonny for the weekend and took such a great care of him. She was great about meeting beforehand to learn his feeding schedule and where we kept all of his items that he needs through out the day. While I was away she checked in regularly with pictures showing that she brought him to his favorite park every day to get his regular exercise and even pictures of them relaxing at home making me feel very confident of leaving him in in her care. I would highly recommend Nicole to watch and care for your pet!
