“Molly was absolutely amazing. She communicated clearly and provided daily updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was also fully prepared to administer medications to our two senior dogs without any issues. All of our babies clearly loved her, and we came home to a clean house and happy, healthy pets. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care she provided! 🐾”

“Jessica was great! She house sat for us last minute after another house sitter cancelled on us two days before we were supposed to leave for our wedding.

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristie! She took absolutely incredible care of our three dogs and treated them like they were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were not only safe and well cared for, but genuinely loved while we were away. Kristie also looked after our home with the same level of care and attention. Everything was spotless and exactly as we left it when we returned. On top of that, she was unbelievably flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed at the last minute. She handled everything with professionalism, kindness, and zero stress. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly compassionate to care for your pets and home, Kristie is the absolute best. We would recommend her without hesitation and can’t wait to book her again!”

About: I have 2 cats of my own and helped take care of a past 21 1/2 old cat my family had until 3 years ago. Cuddling and playing with cats bring me so much enjoy. My fiancé Sammie is a dog specialist. She handles the dog walking and dog care. She was raised around dogs, and dog sat in her childhood. I have a fenced yard that both of my cats go out and play and relax. My cats roam everywhere in the house and can curl up anywhere. I work part-time but will definitely make the time to take care of your babies. Other than that I have plenty of time to snuggle, cuddle, or play with your fur babies. My cats will go outside into a fenced off yard and while they are outside will keep an eye on them. I won’t force your animals to do anything with me but if they want to play or go outside (if that is allowed) I will happily do so.
About: I (Ella) will be the person taking care of your dogs. I am a 20 year old recent college graduate here at home for the summer to be with family! I have previous experience dog boarding on Rover for about a year, as well as months of experience doing drop ins and walks. In my personal life, I have many years of experience taking care of dogs, including those with special needs. I am comfortable administering medicine and adhering to diet restrictions. I am also very active and comfortable with running with your dog if they prefer when on walks! I will always be very communicative about my availability, and my goal is to make you and your dog as comfortable and happy as possible. I love caring for dogs and want to make sure you don’t have any worries while they are in my care!! I currently have a full time job with a variable shift schedule. I will always make sure to update my availability accordingly & am excited to have taking care of your dog(s) be part of my routine! I am comfortable working with any home environment and rules you may have for your dog. I know how to administer medication and adhere to a diet. I will make sure your dog has what it needs and some at all times. All I want is for your dog to feel safe and happy!!

“Kym was phenomenal. We were a little apprehensive leaving our new puppy because she is a little fearful but Kym was amazingly calm and patient. She came over to meet the dogs prior to booking and I was so pleased that she agreed to watch them. We have three dogs that are at very different stages of life so it could be a little overwhelming but Kym really made us feel better with the way that she interacted with all of the dogs. She was very kind and respectful, we couldn’t have asked for someone better to watch our pets while we were out. Would highly recommend and look forward to future bookings if she’ll have us!”
“Sandhya was an amazing blessing to us in house sitting/dog sitting for our golden retriever. She was very professional, sweet with our dog and communicative while we were away with daily updates and photos. Even washed her own sheets/towels and vacuumed the room which was very courteous of her. :) We will definitely trust her again with our dog when we're away!”
Murphy pet parents share their Rover experiences
She was absolutely incredible with my two dogs. From the moment they were with her, it was obvious how much she genuinely cared for them — and they absolutely adored her. She kept me constantly updated with tons of pictures, messages, and little updates that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She didn’t just “watch” my dogs; she truly treated them like they were her own, with so much love, attention, and care. I could not have asked for a better experience, and I would trust her with my dogs again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!
Genevieve did a great job dog sitting my two standard poodles the week I was out of town. She was responsive, sent picture updates throughout my time away. I was happy with how active with walks, trails, parks she kept up with them! Would definitely book with her again.

Robbie was fantastic! Robbie was professional, punctual and very attentive to our three pups. Robbie went above and beyond with the pups by taking them on daily walks and playing with them every time he came over. I can’t recommend Robbie enough to care for you pups, he was trustworthy and communicated effectively while we were away on vacation. Thank you Robbie!
