“Andrea is an amazing dog sitter. My dog is highly anxious and reactive but is very happy and comfortable with Andrea. I came home to a happy dog and my house was cleaner than when I left it! Indie and I really hope Andrea will come stay again.”
“We absolutely adore Micki! She loves our pups as much as we do and understands them even more! Our newest rescue is super anxious and needs a bit more TLC and she delivers! My husband’s truck had some mechanical problems today and was running late and she was flexible enough to not leave them alone. THANK YOU!”
“Lynnette is one of the best I've seen with animals. My dog Mavis is a retired service dog. She is temperamental and slow to warm to people. Lynnette is the first person I've seen Mavis interact with who could sit with and pet her, in the first 5 minutes. Mavis was so at home with Lynnette and tried to guard Lynnette when I arrived to bring her home. Lynnette played, walked, and relaxed with Mavis. She sent me updates, pictures, and videos of Mavis having a wonderful vacation. She has an enclosed yard that allows dogs to safely explore outside. I highly recommend Lynnette!”
“I had the pleasure of hiring Madeleine to take care of my dog, Cash, while I was away for the holidays, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the very first interaction, it was clear that Madeleine is not only professional but also genuinely passionate about dogs. She took the time to understand Cash's needs, preferences, and quirks, which put my mind at ease. During the time Madeleine was with Cash, I received regular updates and adorable photos, which really made my day while I was away. It was evident that she provided plenty of love, attention, and playtime. Cash was happy and well-cared for, which speaks volumes about the quality of care provided. She even gave him a new toy. Madeleine is reliable and communicated effectively. I felt confident knowing that Cash was in such capable hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, look no further than Madeleine. I will definitely be booking her again in the future! Thank you, Madeleine, for your amazing service!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rithy! She is timely, communicative and treats your pet like they’re her own. This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky to have found Rithy. She stayed with Clover for the weekend, texted me photos of their adventures, and she made homemade food for Clover! I think they both had a great weekend together.”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received from Nyah! She was attentive, kind, and kept us updated with photos. My dog was happy and well cared for, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“We had Rachel stay with our two dogs for a long weekend! The dogs were very well taken care of and always looked so happy in the updates Rachel sent. Rachel also left the house in better shape than we did and brought in some packages for us. I would definitely recommend her and we would love to have her watch our dogs again!”
“Eddie, does a great job and is very conscientious. In all the great pics he sends my animals seem very happy. I appreciate how he prioritizes the needs of my animals.”
“Luna R has sat for my 3 fur babies twice now and she has done an amazing job both times. I know that while I am away, my animals are safe, healthy, happy, and so loved! She is the best!”
“Excellent in every way! Great communication, regular photos and updates, on time and organized, and left the house as clean as it was when we left. Solved years worth of anxiety and pet sitting conundrums for us!”
“Jamie is an absolutely fantastic and lovely pet sitter. They housesat for us over the weekend, following my pet's care routine to a T. My whole crew (4 critters) loved all the attention, including my normally quite picky aloof cat. We will definitely be working with Jamie again in the future!”
“Veronica is the most kind and responsible dog lover we've ever met. There is no word to describe how much comfortable we feel when Veronica is caring for our princess while we are gone. Our little princess love Veronica very much.”
“Brittany is a wonderfully kind and thoughtful sitter! She took excellent care of my cat and my home while I was out of town. She is the first sitter I’ve ever entrusted and I was absolutely delighted with her updates and photos. I came home to a happy cat and tidy apartment which looked exactly as I had left it. Brittany is a gem!”
“Another great pet sitting experience with Lauren! Luna and Juice (my dog and cat) are always relaxed, calm and happy after Lauren has spent time with them! She's super responsive, sends updates and pictures, and takes care of everything around my house...and always leaves it very clean! Lauren also seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with my furry friends, and for that I am very grateful! I always feel 100% comfortable and confident when Lauren is my pet and house sitter! Thank you, Lauren!”

“Sheryl house sat/ watched our dogs for a few days. She did a great job, sent us updates/ pictures which was nice and the dogs seemed to enjoy their time with her. Will definitely check with her anytime we are in need of a dog sitter.”
About: I have been dog sitting for years but started Rover in 2022. I started out caring for my two pugs and cat, and have been sitting for family, friends, and folks on Rover. I am currently working as a flexible overnight nursing assistant, so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pet! The rest of the days I am here to help, so they can get all the love and attention they can get while you’re away! When I am at a client’s home I make sure fencing is secured if needed. My home has a fence as well. I also make sure they have enough place to play whether it could be inside or out. I prefer to be outside with them! I love being active with animals but if you’re pet is somewhat a couch potato OR old, I can comfort them in whatever way they feel comfortable.
