“Caitlin took care of our high energy, senior pitbull while we went away! She was very communicative and thorough. She patiently learned our dog's commands and habits and kept her safe while walking (she is reactive). We came home to a happy pup and well taken care of house. Will definitely book again!”
“Dylan was great with our Dog Millie. He was responsive and willing to work with our schedule. Millie was happy and we received lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We would definitely use Dylan again and recommend him to our friends and family.”
“Samantha was great with our 2 greyhounds and whippet! She came over for a meet & greet beforehand and her calm demeanor immediately put them at ease. She was responsive, attentive to detail, and made sure all their needs were met. My house was spotless when I returned. Will definitely book again!”
“Amber was amazing from our first messages to when we got back home. She took excellent care of our sweet dog, took him on at least two walks per day, played with him and provided lots of photos and updates every evening. Our house was in even better condition than we left it. Communication was easy and prompt. I want to take more short trips now that we have a trusted dog sitter. I highly recommend Amber.”
“Y’all. YALL. I’m just saying… Sky is FANTASTIC. Soooo personable, friendly, actually took our dog on a walk, and it’s evident that she really cares. Our dog, William, warmed up to Sky SO fast. I hope everyone can book her but I also hope that y’all don’t take my Saturdays ?”
“Porsche was wonderful. She sent pictures of my fur-kid, he loves her. My house was clean. We had open communication and I am grateful that I knew Kingston was in great hands.”
“He was very comfortable with our dog, which was great. He keeps you completely informed on the dog, which is something made it worry less, while we were our. Def someone you can trust your precious babies”
About: I have years of experience caring for and watching pets of family members. I love animals and animals love me! I am very precise and careful when it comes to animal care. I am available 7 days a week and have no problem spending ample amount of time to ensure your pet is not only cared for, but loved and happy. I am very energetic and outgoing and love to keep pets entertained. I can accommodate any needs while ensuring your pet has fun! I am also very organized, cleanly, and respectful of other peoples’ space. I am willing to go the extra mile: bringing in mail, washing sheets, watering plants, etc. to make your return from travel as relaxing as possible.
“Logan was awesome. Super communicative with my partner while I was incommunicado, took great care of my house, and even took Ruby on some extra field trips out of the city to stretch her legs. I came home to a very happy and healthy pup. Highly, highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and everything went great! Barb is warm and professional, and our pup Alma just loved her. Barb came to meet her ahead of time, and Alma was so excited when she came back to stay. Barb sent updates, including that Alma ate all her food (which doesn't always happen when we're away), and communicated well both before her stay and during. We hope to have her back!”
“Jasmine was great with my, at times, stubborn beagle coonhound mix rescue. She sent reports and photos daily. He looked so content I don't think he noticed my absence!”
“Christina was great! she arrived on time and confirmed prior. I have never had hired a sitter before to take care of my dog because he is a puppy and a little complicated sometimes, I was worried that someone wouldn’t be as patient with him but Christina did very good with him. She sent daily updates, pictures and videos. When I came back home everything looked great and my dog was very happy as well!! I would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in a caring sitter who puts effort into taking care of your pup. Thank you!!”
“We used Ari for 5 days for our dog Freddy , we had a destination wedding for my sister who was getting married and we interviewed with Ari in oct and we had a meet up with him and Freddy to just make sure he would be able to watch him for 5 days in our home because our Fred is comfortable in his own home and Ari has no problem accommodating and staying with him each night at our home. He was attentive and communicative lending up to his arrival day and while we were on vacation he made sure to send update and answer and of my million calls just to check in on our dog. I made sure to ask Ari if he wanted any food stocked in the house for himself to have while he was here and his only request was simple just lemonade . Once arriving home today our Freddy was as happy as can be our house looked the exact way we left it and we are already in talks to have him back again in May for our Mexico Trip !!! I can not recommend Ari enough to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter for a vacation trip or wedding or just to walk your dog !! We provide him also with a tip via Apple Pay for him because of him going above and beyond for our Freddy and for us .”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for the last decade. Family friends and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets and their homes. I especially love dogs and going on walks. I have experience house sitting, dog sitting, and dog walking either for a week at a time or on a routine basis. I'm a graduate student with a flexible schedule and lots of free time this summer. Pet care is my current priority so I would be happy to help out. I enjoy spending time playing with dogs and cats. I would ensure that they are fed and properly cared for, as if they were my own!
“Alexis took excellent care of my dog and cat. My dog needed to be given medication and had some restrictions after a recent medical event. She was able to follow the instructions with no problem. Additionally, communication was easy and she was flexible with the schedule. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter!”
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life. I had a beautiful dog Dior that means the world to me. I love being around dogs and the joy and company they give. I work as a teacher during the day and I’m usually home any other time. I love coming home to my dog and spending time with her at home or at the park. I have a small backyard. I have a 2 year old female dog that’s fix. She is very friendly and love playing with other dogs. I also have a crate if your dog is crate trained.
“Julia was a fantastic dog-sitter and we would definitely hire her again. She took great care of the dogs, sent pictures and updates, left the house tidy, and even wrote a thank you note with the cutest picture of the pups!”
“Nija was such an attentive and flexible sitter. Our dog got long walks, scratches and more and our cat was so happy to see her every day. There is nothing better than getting pet mail daily from her.”

Oak Lane pet parents share their Rover experiences
Julia is extremely reliable and communicative. I never have to worry or even check-in — Julia’s already got it covered and is keeping me in the loop. Excellent care and attention to detail, my cat is beyond contented every time I return home after a Julia visit!
Deanna is awesome! She clearly is experienced with managing animals, which was helpful because she was in charge of the full gamut with us: a very senior dog, a young and energetic dog, another dog with medium energy, a crabby cat and a nervous new kitten. She gave eye drops and managed everybody's needs perfectly. We got updates and photos from her every day, and returned home to happy pets. Deanna is a gem: I highly recommend her.
Samantha was great with our 2 greyhounds and whippet! She came over for a meet & greet beforehand and her calm demeanor immediately put them at ease. She was responsive, attentive to detail, and made sure all their needs were met. My house was spotless when I returned. Will definitely book again!

Maria is always so great with Nushi. She has watched him a few times now while I’m traveling internationally and she took really great care of him each time. She’s attentive and sends periodic updates and pictures. I know Nushi feels more comfortable with someone with him in my apartment while I am away, so it’s really nice that Maria can come and stay with him.
Not only did my dog Gracie fall in love with Melissa, but Melissa also was a full rockstar when we lost power for 3 days of her stay. It was hot and she was without power, and she was so positive and helpful when the circumstances were less than ideal! I would hire her again and again.
Julia is warm and responsible and my dogs loved her. She cared for them over a holiday weekend and kept in touch with me about their care. I was abroad and felt that they would be well cared for while I was away. She responded shortly after I requested her help and is trustworthy. I’ll be seeking her help again in the future!
