“Sarah is a truly great sitter! She’s reliable. D always shows up on time and checks in at multiple points throughout the stay. She sends great photos and she’s very thoughtful and respectful of my space. Often leaving it cleaner than when she arrived. I will absolutely use her again!”

“This was my first time using Rover and first time leaving any of my dogs under anyone’s care, but Liz gave me so much ease when I went out of town to visit my family. From first meeting Bane, she was very open to learning about him to ensure she knew how to care for him while I was away. While I was away, Liz shared pictures and reached out with updates. I had lost signal having been in the mountains but I wasn’t worried knowing Bane was with her. When I returned home, everything was in its place. Liz went the extra mile here. Bane looked happy and well rested too. I couldn’t be happier knowing Liz is someone we can trust”

“Kristen was amazing!! Already booking her for another home stay. She sent soo many updates and pictures which was fantastic I felt so comforted knowing my pup was safe and having fun. Definitely recommend :)”

“Once again, Dwayne took great care of my reactive, temperamental mid-sized dog, Jacques, while I was away for a week. He messaged me daily with photos and an update, and alerted me when Jacques had a rough night with some stomach issue. He understood how to handle Jacques' unreliable moods and behavior, gave a twice daily medication, and followed our normal routine for feeding and walks. Jacques was very calm and chill when I returned home. Highly recommend for his ability to handle difficult dogs!”

“Allison was wonderful! Very communicative and came home to a very happy, tired pup and tidy house. Felt very at ease knowing my dog was being cared for by her while away. So happy to have found her!”

“We had Grace watch our two anxious and energetic dogs while we went away for a long weekend and she was wonderful! Lots of pictures, quick responses, followed all the guidance we gave, and left the house clean as well! I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends looking for a sitter!”

“Kaitlin was a wonderful companion and caregiver to our suite and shy dog Sadie. She came over and stayed with our dog while we were out of town and I could not be more pleased. She won our dog over with her sweetness and caring, and our dog has a hard time trusting anyone! She showed Sadie the love that she needed and was phenomenal! I would hire her again and again!!!!!”

“We love Samantha! She is always so reliable and dependable. We’re really lucky to have found her! On her most recent stay she even helped grab our packages and pull in our garbage cans. She’s the best! Thank you, Samantha!!!”

“Jade was so sweet, my pups had the best time with her! Her communication was spot on, she sent multiple updates, and I felt zero stress leaving my dogs with her. Would love to have her anytime!!”

“Lisa stayed throughout the day to look after my husky. She was great with him and kept to his routine. Trusted her in my home to keep my place secure & husky in good care. She periodically checked in & sent pictures. She had no problem with doing a few extra requests, like turning lights on and off when completing her sitting. Happy with her services!”

“Wonderful sitter! She took great care of our pets, came over for a meet and greet beforehand, listened patiently as I explained my older dogs needs, and was communicative while we’re gone. She left the house clean and tidy and was a pleasure to get to know.”

“Meagan was a fantastic sitter for my dog! She was wonderful and sent me lots of great updates while I was away. My picky pup loved her, and she really knew how to handle him. Plus, she left my place spotless! I couldn’t be happier—highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of my dog, Kono, for 15 years and developed a bond that means the world to me! I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior companions. Growing up, I cared for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small critters, and I’ve continued to provide loving care as a pet sitter for friends and family. I’m well-versed in daily routines, administering medications, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. What makes me stand out is my commitment to treating each pet as if they were my own. I take the time to understand their unique needs, preferences, and quirks to provide personalized care. My background in customer service has instilled in me patience and attention to detail—qualities I carry over into pet care. Whether it’s playing fetch with high-energy dogs, keeping senior pets comfortable, or following specific training guidelines, I go the extra mile to ensure your pet is happy and healthy. I’m also reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is in good hands. It would be an honor to take care of your furry family member while you’re away—they’ll be loved, safe, and entertained! I incorporate pet care seamlessly into my day by planning my activities around their feeding, exercise, and any special care routines they may need. Whether it’s an energetic morning walk or a calming evening on the couch, caring for pets brings joy and balance to my week. Being part of their lives is not just a responsibility—it's something I truly love doing. I believe it is important to treat every pet, family, and home with respect and compassion. I value honesty and dependability, which I demonstrate with strong communication.
“I am SO happy I found Jennifer! She took such great care of my two pups. She sent constant updates and photos which I thoroughly appreciated. My house was also left in very clean condition. Thank you Rover & thank you Jennifer. We have found our new pet sitter!:)”

“Allison was absolutely fantastic! Even with short notice, she showed up on time, and worked so well with my dog, CoCo, who has severe separation anxiety when I leave. You can tell she has tons of experience and loves dogs. She fed CoCo and took him on an outing, which he loved. She bonded with CoCo, and he became so attached to her in 1day, that he didn’t want her to leave when I came home! I 100% highly recommend Allison, and will definitely use her in the future.”
“I was so nervous to leave my 10 wk old puppy. Hayden showed up on time, took care of her and left my house looking tidy. Hes a nice young man, I really appreciate how well he took care of my baby”

“Dominique took excellent care of my pups and my place. She followed the dog and house care instructions to the letter. They instantly took to her at the meet and greet. She sent tons of updates and pictures throughout the sitting. Will definitely always book her to care for my pups during any future getaways.”

“Austin house sit for us for 6 days to take care of our Mini Schnauzer. I can tell she really likes him and that's what matters most! He's friendly, sent photos each day, and kept our home clean. We have already booked him again for some upcoming walks. We will definitely request him again for future doggy care needs.”

Jenya was an amazing sitter! She was super communicative and prompt with pictures and updates throughout the stay. She took the time to understand my dog’s unique needs and personality, and I came home to find the house spotless and my dog very happy. Would highly recommend!!

Jade was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! She was quick and easy to communicate with, always on-time, and followed all directions. My 4 pups loved her! She took excellent care of my babies and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. I will for sure be contacting her again in the future!

As new to Rover we were nervous about new sitters. Janet was a sigh of relief during our meet & greet; we quickly booked a 2 day/night trial stay. The stay went extremely well with her paying close attention to our pet’s needs, keeping them safe, fed on schedule, and medicated as instructed.. We occasionally contacted Janet with specific requests which she handled professionally and without issue. Janet is a responsible house/pet sitter and is a nice addition to our contact list for when we travel.

Meagan was such a wonderful sitter for our senior dog and our two kitties. Right from the start, we felt like they were in good hands. She followed all of our instructions and took great care of our home. She sent us lots of updates and asked questions up front. It was such a seamless experience and we will definitely book her again if we need another sitter!

Anna was great with our high energy dog and two cats! Our teenage dog can be a handful and she did great with her. There was even a house issue when we were gone and she handled it well and was a huge help. The house was left super clean as well. I would definitely recommend her and book with Anna again!

Brooke was wonderful! She gave us regular updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She was also incredibly respectful of our home—we came back to everything clean, organized, and very well cared for. Most importantly, our 13-week-old puppy, Marlowe, was clearly loved and well cared for. Brooke did a great job keeping her on her routine and making sure she was comfortable and happy while we were away. We had a great experience and would absolutely book Brooke again!

Brittany was simply awesome. She is very communicative and thoughtful, and really cares about making sure you have peace of mind that your dogs are in good hands while away. She goes above and beyond to make sure the pets are having fun, too! Cannot thank Brittany enough for her help.

This is the first time for Kaitlin to sit with our new tripawd rescue, Chilly. We haven't yet been able to leave Chilly for more than a couple hours. Working on that ..... Kaitlin was super responsive, understood our needs and Chilly's. She set up a meeting and greet and Chilly took to her. On the day, Chilly was comfortable with her and Kaitlin put my mind at ease to be out of the house for the first time in a couple months. I look forward to being able to have a sitter with experience with a quirky, special needs dog.

I met Audrey while she was walking my neighbor’s dog and instantly liked her. I booked her that day to stay with my pup and I’m so glad I did. Audrey is communicative, reliable and professional. She took wonderful photos of Kirby and sent updates so I felt completely at ease while I was gone. Thank you Audrey!

As novices on rover, we were quite nervous about trial-runs with new sitters. Our meet & greet with Brenda was very impressive with her extensive background in animal care, work with shelters and rescues; we quickly booked a trial-run with her for the following two days/nights. The trial-run went extremely well. Anytime we contacted her for anything, she course-corrected as requested. She was great with our fur babies, making sure they were safe, ate well and were medicated as instructed. Brenda is a great find! She is at the top of our contact list for pet care and house-sitting while we travel.

I’m so grateful to have found Evelyn! I tend not to go out of town because my three kitties usually get nervous about my absence (I wfh). I have always just had a neighbor pop by twice per day and call it good. Last time I was away for a few days, I came home and the cat dynamic in the house had changed for the worse. I feared I couldn’t ever go out of town or leave for longer than a few hours without causing them harm. I wanted to take my daughter on an end-of-summer adventure vacation, and set to find a solution that would be good for everyone. I knew it would be better for the fur babies to have someone just stay with them at the house to make sure they felt safe and cared for, but didn’t have anyone I could ask. I was cautious about inviting a stranger onto my home to stay while I was gone, but looked into Rover because I’ve only heard good things. I’m so glad I did, because I found an angel in Evelyn! Evelyn came over a few days before we left for our trip to meet the cats and find out about how we care for them so there is as little disruption as possible. Evelyn was so kind and professional and thorough! She asked a bunch of questions about our routine and house care (i.e., plant maintenance, etc) and wrote down all care instructions. I could tell she truly cared about animals and I found trust came very easily with her. While on our trip, I received pics and notes about what the kitties were up to and knew that they were being fed and played with and cared for. They looked like they were just going about their normal day and getting as much pets as they wanted! One of the babies looked to have taken very well to Evelyn. :) I felt so much better about being away from home, and enjoyed my vacation sooooo much more, knowing such a caring and thoughtful person was looking after them. I felt comfortable with her staying in my home and had a good feeling that she was respecting our home space. I came home to a tidy and easy-feeling vibe in the house. I hope she can come fill in for us for all of our trips out of town. Thank you so much, Evelyn!!
