“Sanuthi did a fantastic job taking care of our cats and house while we were away. She thoroughly reviewed what we do for them and asked great questions, and I felt very comfortable leaving our cats and home in her care. She sent messages and pictures while we were away, and everything seemed to go smoothly! I would definitely hire her again!”

“I have been using Rover for five years and have hired numerous dog sitters, but Mingxin is definitely the best one I have ever met. She is a very responsible person who pays attention to every detail of my requests. She provides great communication, always sends updates on my dog, and makes sure everything is in place. She walks my dog twice a day, taking her on long walks to explore. My dog was taken care of so well that I didn't have to worry about a thing while I was on vacation. I will definitely hire her again and I really appreciate her service!”

“Magdalena stayed with my dog while I was out of town for the weekend and was wonderful! I appreciated the way she made a point to connect with my dog right away, she asked thoughtful questions, kept me updated with photos and videos, and I came home to a happy dog and clean apartment. She seems to genuinely love dogs and know how to help them feel comfortable very quickly. Would love to book with her again in the future and highly recommend. Thanks again Magdalena!”

“Junbo stayed overnight in my home for multiple nights and took wonderful care of my dogs. She sent lots of updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear from every one how happy, comfortable, and well loved they were. I really appreciated her communication and the peace of mind she gave me while I was away. My dogs were relaxed, content, and clearly well cared for — which matters most. I would absolutely book Junbo again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter. 🐾💛”

“Justelle was an amazing in home overnight sitter for our dog. We were without service for two days while we were away and even though our dog is a little reactive I didn’t feel worried at all. Justelle still sent updates and pictures which were a joy to read once we got back to civilization. I’m glad to have found such a great sitter!”

“Wilma did a wonderful job watching our two pugs! We had a very nice meet & greet where she asked thoughtful questions while we walked the dogs around. While we were away, Wilma kept us posted with frequent texts and pictures, and the dogs loved her. They were relaxed and happy when we got home which is the best! She also cleaned the sheets from the bed she was using and remade the bed, which I really appreciated. It was a very stress-free experience, and we'll definitely use her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs that range in age from puppies to senior dogs. I also have experience with watching over and helping dogs that have small medical issues. That has included tasks like feeding medication and changing dressing. I am currently a student but am typically free early mornings and late afternoons/evenings. I also enjoy going on runs, so if your dog is more high energy I can take them along! I will keep constant watch over your per and will follow whatever directions have been provided to me. If an emergency is to come up, I will immediately call the owner and figure out the best course of action to keep the pet safe.
“My mind was completely at ease while Brandi was sitting with our dog. When we had our meeting prior to the weekend she sat for us, Brandi was thorough with her questions for me which gave me confidence that she knew what she was doing. She gave us updates and by the pictures she sent I could tell Leia was happy and loved on. We will definitely have her sit with Leia again.”

“Sophia was amazing with my dogs and took such great care of my home during her overnight stay. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly very attentive to their needs. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands while I was away. I came home to happy pups and a well-kept house, which says everything. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”

“Second time with Vanessa in home care for the two dogs. She absolutely did a fantastic job. Walks, pictures and great communication. She’s now our “go to”.”

“Felicia did an amazing job taking care of our 4 pets while we were gone! She is very knowledgeable and has a great demeanor around animals. She was communicative but not overly so, we were relaxed and not concerned about our babies as she was reassuring us of their safety and wellbeing and made us feel very comfortable with her presence in our home. She and her family were very sweet to our babies, bonded with them, they were very respectful of our home and overall just provided us with an outstanding service. We would definitely have Felicia house sit again in the future!”

“Our dog, Layla, took to Iris quickly and she seemed to have a great connection with her (Layla is very "stranger danger" sort of dog). Working with Iris was great and we will definitely use her services again - and soon.”

“Dahae took care of my two cats and two dogs for a full week while I was out of town, and she was incredible from start to finish. She checked in regularly, kept me updated, and treated all four of my babies like her own. She kept every pet fed and comfortable, and made sure the dogs got out on a consistent schedule. I came home to happy, relaxed pets and a spotless house, which is honestly the best feeling after traveling. The care and thoughtfulness she put into everything made such a difference. I highly recommend Dahae to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving with animals.”

About: Recently experienced the loss of my own dog , Bialy (named after the New York bagel). He was a maltipoo. He was so so cute and loving! Towards the end of his life he required extra care and attention as aging is understandably difficult. I administered meds, changed his diapers when needed, gave him extra treats and loving and really just made him as comfortable as I could towards the end. Losing him was tragic but I was so fortunate to continue taking care of dogs through my job! I worked in senior living and often residents had dogs of their own that required care. All different breeds, sizes, temperaments, I could handle it all! Whether it was a walk, a drop- in for some love and treats, a bath I did it. I was beyond honored to help out and would be so elated to help your family out as I understand leaving a pet with someone can be nerve racking and that’s why my motto is loving all pets as if they were my own <3 I have done some private in home dog/ cat care stays as well. I am currently in between jobs. Searching for what my next career move will be. Therefore, I am available Monday- Friday, and weekends if needed! I ultimately respect what you as an owner wish for your pets and so if you have notes to reference that is incredibly helpful to make sure that I honor you. As well as feel free if a pet needed to stay at my home bringing things from your home to make the transition easier into a new environment as that can bring some anxiety.
“Friendly and conscientious, fast and clear communication before/during/after, sent fun daily photos of our dogs relaxed and having fun with him, flexibly supported our schedule asks, and returned our home as tidy as we'd left it. Looking forward to using Toki's services again.”

About: I’m a dog owner and started using Rover to introduce different dogs to my puppy since I’m thinking about getting another one! Along the way, I completely fell in love with spending time with dogs, playing, cuddling, going on walks, and taking care of them. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I’m a full-time dog and cat walker/sitter/carer, so your baby is guaranteed lots of love and attention! Last-minute requests are very welcome, just give me specific instructions, and I’ll be on my way! I can walk the doggies for as long as the owner prefers! My apartment is spacious, clean, tidy, and hazard-free. I usually don’t leave the doggies unattended, but if I need to step out briefly, I have two cameras in the living room to keep an eye on them.
“We wholeheartedly recommend Trisha to anyone looking for a dog sitter who goes the extra mile. Trisha watched our dogs for a week in our apartment. We received daily updates with pics. Dogs were well exercised and were always happy in the updates. We returned to a clean home and happy dogs, what more could you ask for! Thank you Trisha.”

“Sam was wonderful! We got updates through the week of our pets and when we came home everyone was happy and healthy💖 she went above a d beyond helping to also feed our fish and checking on our chickens ti make sure everyone was well taken care of. When we ever plan a vacation again we will 100% book with her again🥰”

Magdalena took amazing care of our two huskies while we were away 5 nights. This was the first time we had to use Rover for dog sitting, so we were definitely anxious leaving our girls. But we are so happy to have found Magdalena! We got daily updates, pictures, came home to happy dogs and a clean house. I would highly recommend Magdalena!! 😊

Anna was a fabulous dog sitter and we would not hesitate to hire her again! Excellent communication and care of our dog and our home. Our dog is an XL, energetic mix with a big personality who is dog reactive, so we did a trial walk before the sit and Anna adeptly adapted to our dog's routine. Thank you again!

Isabel was great with our pets, and we appreciated how quickly she was able to earn Kimchi’s trust, especially since he’s usually very nervous around new people and tends to hide. The fact that he felt comfortable enough to come out around her means a lot to us. We’re grateful for the care she showed toward our kiddos.

Siobhan is great to work with and our two cats also think she’s great. She communicated as needed during our week away and left our home in good shape for our return. This is the 2nd time we have worked with Siobhan and we will reach out to her again in the future.

Mariah cared for Lily (dog) and Damon (cat) in our home. She did a wonderful job, sending frequent updates and photos, and kept them in their separate parts of the house. Both of them liked her right away. Mariah kept the house clean and even took out the trash and baked! We'll ask her back again for sure.
