“Eleanor was great! Would definitely work with her again. She was willing to come the day before to meet my dog, brought in a package that came, and sent us pictures while we were gone. She took great care of our dog by taking her on an extra long walk. She also had great communication through the day letting us know when she got there/left. She did amazing!”
“Jasmine is AWESOME! We have used her to house and doggo sit for our Stella 3 times now. Our Stella loves her, and we will certainly be using her again when we need a sitter, if possible!”
“Bernie, in his older age, has a hard time connecting to people, so it is so hard to leave him. Marie Pierre figured out his needs, and was able to truly connect with Bernie, and as I received daily reports, I was thrilled to know he was hanging out with her, and not just sleeping in his bed, as that is what he will do if he is not a fan of someone. Marie Pierre made sure to communicate and check-in daily, and I know Bernie was totally comfortable in her care.”

About: I have had pets for 17 years and so far I have 2 cats and 5 very friendly dogs. I know every behavior and jests at them or if they feel sick I am at home full time. The only time I go out is to go to the market and the occasional medical appointment. The rest of the time I will be caring for and raising your little loved one. My house has a secure fence, a yard to run around in. They will have fun meeting new friends. When they get tired they will sleep in a bed or blanket if they want.

Whether your dog loves active play or just wants companionship and reassurance, I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and given lots of affection while you’re away.

Nestor pet parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our two dogs while we were away on vacation. From the start, Melissa took the time to understand our dogs’ routines and made sure everything stayed consistent, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and bedtime habits. What impressed us most was how quickly our dogs grew comfortable and trusting Melissa. One of our dogs can be a little skittish at first, but it was clear they felt safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for the entire time we were gone. We also appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind when we were away. Coming home to two happy, calm dogs confirmed they were in great hands. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!
Greatest person to watch your dog. Very flexible with any times and treats your dog like one of his own. And he takes great care of his dogs for sure. Tyler will dedicate the entire time you book to making your pet feel like a rockstar and it doesn’t get any better than that.
I'm so happy to have found Charlene! She stayed with my dog Frank for 3 weeks and sent daily updates with photos. She followed my instructions, watched for a deliveries, and was so nice. Most importantly, she enjoyed spending time with Frank, and he enjoyed it, too. I felt really comfortable knowing he was in good hands for a longer than normal trip. She even left my house as clean or cleaner than when I left! I'd love to have sit for us again and highly recommend her.
I would totally recommend Eleanor! It was my first time having a dog sitter and she was excellent. My husband and I were worried about leaving as we just moved here but Eleanor made everything a breeze. She took great care of our dog and sent updates multiple times a day! Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely book with her again!
Jaime is my girls’ regular sitter for drop-ins. This was her first time staying overnight with them and she was amazing as always! Bailey and Celeste love Jaime! She has been a much needed and special person in our lives. She’s very understanding of the life of a Sailor, for which we’re very grateful. Thanks, Jaime!
Silvia watched my dog Simone for 8 days. Simone is special needs and is pretty scared of the world and Sylvia did a fantastic job watching her. Simone was happy and calm when we got home and it was clear she spent a lot of time with her making her more comfortable. Thank you Silvia and I look forward to having you watch Simone again in the future. Definitely will have you watch Simone in the future!
