“Paige was a fantastic dog sitter. We have two dogs who aren’t the best with strangers, but during the meet and greet she made them feel comfortable and did very well with them. She was so communicative during the stay, updated with pictures, and asked about certain behaviors to ensure she wasn’t letting bad behavior happen. She was so so amazing and definitely recommend!!!”
“Rachel was amazing with our old pup! She let us know how he did during the day, when he ate, and anything to follow up on when we returned. She was thoughtful and adapted to his quirks. Our house was well taken care of and we felt all was safe and sound while gone. She is truly caring and understanding with senior dogs.”
“Ashlyn is amazing! She is incredibly sweet and polite, and SO GOOD with our pups! They both have their own little quirks but that didn’t bother her one bit. This was our first time using rover ever, and we will absolutely be reaching out to Ashlyn for all future trips.”
“Jennifer is an incredible sitter - attentive, thoughtful, patient, and truly en enjoys her time with Kirby. I appreciate her nature and feel completely at ease when she is with Kirby, who has a myriad of chronic health issues at 17. Thank you for caring for him (and me!) so well. 💜”
About: I have a soft spot for all animals big and small. I helped raise my family dog, Finn, who is now a 10 year old Morkie. Multiple friends have trusted me to walk and pet sit their animals and I have experience with small and large breeds. I have also volunteered for 2 years with 4 Paws for Ability, an organization that trains puppies to become service dogs. I am an owner of a black cat named Sesame who I adopted from a cat cafe earlier this year. I am currently a healthcare professional who just graduated school. I am waiting to start a job at the end of October, so I have some free time in the next few months I’m looking to fill with lots of walks and scratches. Safety is my number one priority for your pet and myself. I am good with communication and as a pet owner myself, I understand how much pets mean to us.
“Rachel was an amazing dog sitter! She updated me daily on my pet! I got daily reports and pictures of how she was doing. I highly recommend Rachel, she was the best sitter I’ve ever had!”
“I don’t ordinarily do reviews but Rachel did an outstanding job doing a series of in home sitting and drop in visits. She looked after three senior dogs, a couple of cats, some fish and crabs. One of the animals was on a strict medication schedule and she did just fine with this. Also my pets are messy, I came home to a very clean home. Highly recommend.”

“We were pleased with Alecia's follow up, timeliness and care for details from the first interaction with her. She sent daily pictures and videos and was responsive with communication. We were even surprised to return home to clean dishes and linens she used. That is never expected or asked to be done but a very pleasant surprise.”
“Hanna was an absolute rockstar sitter! She was unbelievably patient and nice. Hanna was extremely responsive via messaging and provides amazing photos throughout the stay. I felt very secure leaving my dog in Hanna’s hands and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: Growing up on a farm means I have an abundance of experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. This experience has only grown thanks to the 1000+ hours spent caring for a great variety of animals thanks to my preparation for and training in veterinary school. I have worked in several veterinary clinics, a couple of shelter settings, and a commercial aviary. This means I am incredibly comfortable caring for all kinds of pets of any age, as well administering medications and keeping up with unique needs. Much of my love for veterinary medicine comes from the opportunity to bond with people and their pets, and providing pet care is another amazing chance to do just that. I would love to serve you and your four-legged family! Being a student allows for a very flexible schedule, perfect for attentive and personalized pet care! Much of my course work can be done online, so I am often free to hang out with your furry friends while I study throughout the day. I try to build my schedule where I don't need to leave pets alone longer than 6 hours maximum, and I am willing to adjust according to your pet's needs. I take great care to keep your pet's routine as similar as possible to their normal to minimize stress. I love to schedule a meet & greet beforehand to get to know you and your pet, and get to know all the details of their routine. I know what questions to ask to make the process as enjoyable and stress free as possible. I also know how nice it is to come back to a clean home. Therefore, when staying in a client's home I take great care to leave everything exactly as it was or better. That way you can relax knowing your pets are well taken care of, and you have nothing to worry about when you return.
About: I’m very outgoing and positive I love learning and exploring new things I have had pets in the past including old family members and close friends I am very active I love going out and enjoying nature and going on walks to the park and a little extra work is always good for me By giving them as much attention as I possibly can and taking them outside on walks or playing with them or teaching some tricks to keep them occupied

Kaela w.
“Kaela has been my go-to dog sitter for many, many years. I have had a series of crazy Boston terriers, usually two at a time, and she has taken care of all of them with such love and attention. She's cared for them when they were truly crazy puppies, and when they were senior dogs who sometimes were hard of hearing and nearly blind. The dogs have sometimes been on special diets and often on medications that were different for each dog. I knew the dogs would get what they each needed, and no detail would be overlooked when they were in her care. It always eased my mind that she was with them because I knew they were getting the best love and snuggles and play possible. My preferred way to have a dog sitter is for the sitter to stay in my home and I knew with Kaela the house would be the same when I walked back in the door as it was when I left. Our dogs usually prefer to sleep with us and Kaela was even willing to share her bed with the little bed hogs. I can't say enough how much I rely on Kaela as my dog sitter, nor how much my dogs love her.”

Alexandra P.
“Alex watched my dogs while we went on a trip last summer! I have 2 golden retrievers and she kept me continually updated on how the dogs were doing, as they can be quite the little rascals. Alex made sure to play with them each day, and she spent plenty of time with them to make sure they didn't get lonely. The best part was that she sent lots of pictures of Aidan and Gracie (my dogs) throughout the week! Of note is the fact that Gracie can get anxious and panic when there are loud noises such as thunderstorms. I felt completely comfortable leaving her with Alex because I knew that she would be able to calm Gracie down and spend time with her when she was feeling panicked. My family has asked Alex to watch our dogs every trip since last summer!”

New Rome pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience working with Kaitlyn to watch our 2yr old Lab, Gus, for a day. Gus is a rescue with some behavior quirks and she was very good about helping us further his training exercises while we were gone. In the process of setting up the dog-sit, she was timely with communication and reliable with scheduling. We are looking forward to working with her again later this month on a longer stay!
Allana is amazing! She kept us up to date every single day with photos of our senior dog, made sure he got all of his pills at the right time and even watered our plants! She kept the house super tidy and was so communicative- it was our first time using a rover and she made us totally comfortable. We've recommended her to others already and will definitely be using her in the future.
Destinie did a fantastic job looking after our little anxious boy for the week. She was able to manage his anxiety as well as his medications without issue and sent us updates and tons of photos of the time she spent with him. We returned to a happy well cared for dog!
