“Tracy did a fantastic job caring for our dog Sawyer while we were out of town. I highly recommend his services! He is very trustworthy. He stayed in our home, brought in the mail, played with the dog every night, and even fed the cat and fish and watered the plants! He was very conscientious about our home and left everything very neat and clean. Using Rover.Com and Tracy's services was ultimately the best decision for the dog and removed the stress caused by kenneling in another location. Thank you Tracy!”
“The most marvelous dog and cat sitter ever!!!!!! Stephanie made me not worry at all on our vacation!!! I would use her anytime I need someone! Top notch!”
“Brianna did an amazing job and did well with our dogs. She was accommodating and understanding of their needs. She does only work within a certain radius, though, and neither of us realized that until too close to time. For this reason, we will not book again.”
“Lisa gave great updates, followed my dogs’ schedules properly, even cleaned up some messes which I am so appreciative of! She gave them lots of love and care! She was great!”
“Bree was wonderful! And most important, Sophie was a happy girl and well taken care of. Bree’s experience is such a plus and, after just a short time, we felt comfortable and assured that Sophie would be in good hands. We will definitely use her services again.”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog because she's a senior and very dear to me. Hannah was wonderful. She sent me pictures and updates. I arrived home to a happy & content doggie. Hannah did a great job and I highly recommend.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care Samantha provided for my dogs and cat during our recent trip. From the moment we met, it was clear that she is a true animal lover with a passion for ensuring pets are comfortable and well-cared for. My 3 dogs and cat felt at ease immediately, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Throughout the stay, Samantha was highly communicative, sending daily updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. She made sure to follow my pets routine and even went the extra mile by taking my shepherds on walks daily. When I returned, my pets were calm, happy, and healthy – a clear sign of the excellent care they all received. I would absolutely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Hannah was great! Both my dog and cat are typically very nervous of new people, but they warmed up to Hannah very fast! She sent great updates and tons of pictures which I really appreciated. I will definitely book with her next time I go away!”
“I was incredibly hesitant to use another sitter from Rover after a terrible experience the last time but I took a chance with Brandi & Luis because the second I met them during our meet and greet I felt like they would be different and I was right! They were the BEST decision I made for my two doggies! They came right in and actually said hi to my dogs and showed so much interest in them and seemed to love them instantly! They worked with my schedule to do exactly what I needed and stayed at my house the entirety of my time away. I used them over the Fourth of July and one of my dogs does not do well with fireworks so I felt awful leaving her but she couldn’t have been in better hands! They stayed with her the entire time and followed my instructions down to every last word. They sent frequent updates with pictures and there was not a second I was worried my doggies weren’t being loved! They spent their time relaxing on the couch with them just like they do when we’re home and I know they took the absolute best care of them! I can’t wait to use them again if needed and I know my dogs will be THRILLED to see them again. I can’t speak highly enough, this was without a doubt the best Rover experience I’ve had and now I don’t ever want to use another dogsitter because I don’t think you can do better than Brandi & Luis!”

“Lydia did a fine job house sitting and talking care of our dog and cat. She even passed out candy Halloween night! We felt very comfortable being over seas knowing our home and animals were taken care of.”
About: I’m currently pursuing my education with one goal in mind: to make a meaningful difference in the lives of your beloved fur babies! Whether it’s training energetic puppies or giving extra love and care to senior pets, I’m here for it all. I’ve been caring for animals since I was just 4 years old, and with my Bachelor’s Degree in Biological Sciences—concentrating in Ecology—I’m excited to bring both heart and science together to provide the best care possible. Making tails wag and pets feel safe is truly my passion! I’m currently available on weekends, which means I can dedicate lots of quality time to caring for and playing with your fur baby! Now that I’ve finished college, I also have plenty of free time—perfect for early morning potty breaks, training sessions, fun play routines, and even overnight visits with attentive monitoring and late-night potty runs. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my top priority! I have spare crates available and two sweet pups of my own who love making new friends! With plenty of toys and regular trips to public parks, your fur baby will have lots of enrichment and playtime. My apartment even has a doggy-gated play area where your pup can run around safely and freely! For added peace of mind, I’m fully prepared for emergencies—I can crate when necessary, and I use doggy seat belts for safe car rides. I’m also CPR-certified and have hands-on experience with syringe-feeding medications if needed. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority!
About: I, Carter and my mother Mindy, have been pet owners our entire lives. We have experience with young, adult, and senior dogs. Along with experience in administering certain types of medications, and our house is blind dog friendly thanks to indoor gates and a fenced in and safe backyard. We’ve recently lost our last dog and don’t plan to get another animal companion, but we love to help people care for their furry companions temporarily as a way to give back to the same people who did such for us when we were pet owners. Mindy works from home and loves to work outside in her garden, which would mean a lot of outside time for your pet in our fenced in backyard. Carter is around more in the mornings and nights meaning if your animal is a “night owl” they shall still be cared for round the clock. We have a designated area for food and water in our house, along with many toys and bones from throughout the years. We are in a very safe neighborhood with a fenced in backyard and lots of room to run. Any animals living with us will always be treated with kindness and a sense of belonging no matter the duration of their stay!
“Tonie is great! We have some high-maintenance animals and she handled their care perfectly. So, so happy because we had a not so great pet care experience in the past with a different sitter, so we were nervous to try again. Tonie came over and met the animals, saw the house, asked all the right questions. We are very happy she was there to care for our dog and two cats! Also loved all the pictures we got!”
About: Hi, I'm Rheagan! As a lifelong animal lover with two cats and a dog of my own, caring for pets is second nature to me. I've had the joy of living with and looking after a variety of animals over the years, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers a calm and quiet environment, I adapt to meet their needs and make them feel comfortable and cared for. I believe in building trust through patience, kindness, and respect-just like I do with my own fur family. I'd love the opportunity to meet your pet and give them the love and attention they deserve while you're away! I currently have an open schedule and can take care of your pet anytime! I’m available for sittings, walks, and drop-ins Monday - Friday 7am - 10pm. Saturday and Sunday 7am - 11pm. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment and follow routines that keep tails wagging and paws relaxed. With lots of love, attention, and respect for your pet’s needs, I treat every animal like my own.
About: I can't remember a time that I've ever not had a dog. I can bathe your dogs if you like and do some mild grooming such as nail trims and teeth brushing if you like! I volunteered at an animal rescue for 4 years and was lead of their recruitment team for new volunteers. I have some medical experience as well! I work part time as a surgical technologist. I just graduated from college with my second degree and want to eventually do something that has me spending all my time with animals. I volunteer when I can and I also foster puppies! I will ensure that your pet is well taken care of. If there is ever a time that our pets will be left alone, I will have a plan for separation. And they will never be alone for more than 2 hours at a time. I have a 6 foot privacy fence and will send you constant pictures of your babies. I also have two dogs of my own. They are 4 and 5! I also have cats living in the home. I do have a crate available if you would like your animal to be crated at any point. I'm happy to give meds if your baby if needed as well!

Carter & Mindy D.
“I can't say enough good things about Carter and Mindy! My dog is very old and extremely scared of strangers, so I was nervous about leaving her with someone. But Carter and Mindy were absolutely wonderful, kind, gentle, attentive and incredibly patient. They really took the time to make her feel comfortable and by the end of the stay she loved having them around. It was such a relief knowing she was in such caring hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet sitters!”
