“Taryn was soo great with our two dogs. She was very responsive and always on top of taking care of both of our dogs. We couldn't be more happy and content about leaving our two dogs with her.”
“So grateful to have found Erin! She was so wonderful with my two dogs over the holidays! She sent me several updates throughout the day & left my home spotless. She has such a warm spirit & loved on my boys so well while I was traveling. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Ava did such a great job! My pets were very well taken care of and given lots of snuggles! My pup liked her so much she tried to keep her there by stealing her shoe! (No shoes were harmed in the making of the visit!) Highly recommend Ava!!”
“Rachel watched our two dogs while we were away for two weeks in Europe. She was very responsive and took good care of the dogs and our house. Would definitely recommend her to others in need!”
“The dogs I know were well taken care of - I got updates twice a day. A friend disengaged the garage door for the mechanism and Ben fixed it for me!!! While he didn’t have to take care of my cat he cleaned out the litter box before I came home. When Neville met Ben , Neville is not a jumper at all, but he immediately climbed in Ben’s lap to be loved on by him. And Ben was awesome and let him! I highly recommend him and will use his services in the future!!”
“Ell was great! She kept me updated with photos, & I could tell my dogs were very well taken care of. She also took good care of my home & left it clean & organized! She also did me the favor of watering my outdoor plants. I will definitely be hiring Ell again!”
“Abby is wonderful and I would highly recommend her. We did an initial meet and greet and I immediately felt comfortable with her. We were gone for 11 days and Abby stayed at our home with our 5 pound Yorkie. We choose an in home sitter because our dog has major separation anxiety. Abby sent us daily updates and pictures and our dog was living her best life as usual!! We already have our next stay scheduled with Abby.”
“We are so grateful for the care Ellie provided our puppies (72 and 57 pounds puppies). She stayed in our home with them for 5 days and took the best care of them. Our puppies are active and energetic Doodles and require a lot of attention around the clock. Ellie went above and beyond to meet their needs. We will definitely book Ellie again. We could enjoy our time away knowing Ellie was engaged with our pups and made us feel they were in good hands.”
“Emma dropped by a week before watching Spotz to meet him. She was responsive to our messages before we left town and provided regular updates (with pictures)! Spotz is anxious and we just moved to town a couple weeks ago, so I was nervous to leave town, but Emma made it easier. I appreciated the daily updates she provided and quality time she spent with Spotz while we were away!”
“Kadyn did an incredible job not only watching my dog, but updating me frequently and setting my mind at ease for the first trip I've ever had to hire a sitter for. Exceptional service!”
About: I am a third year veterinary student in KC for the summer at an internship! I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant for 6 years now and have gained experience in handling and working with all breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I have also been petsitting for family friends for 5 years and have plenty of experience making pets feels comfortable while their owner is away. I am comfortable handling any dog or cat, with anything from giving medications to your senior pup to walks and exercise for the more energetic ones! I’m currently working full-time during the week with some evening hours available. I am also typically available all day during the weekend and on most holidays. As I am currently renting, I am not able to care for pets in my own home. However, I am more than willing to travel and take care of your fur-baby in the comfort of their own home! I have been trained on how to handle all types of animals with care and respect towards them, and would feel comfortable assisting with any training you are working with them on. Most of all, I absolutely love to hang out with any animal and would be honored to care for your fur baby!
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! Neighbors have leaned on me for a quick walk around the block or an all weekend overnight stay. As a recent cat mom myself, I’ve learned all the ins and outs of what it takes to keep our precious fur babies happy. Let me pamper your pet just like you do! I’m currently working full time - I’m available after 6:30 PM on the weekdays and most weekends on a case by case basis. I’m best available for walks during the weekdays & house sitting on the weekends! I’m great with in-home care! I’ll happily play as long as your pup wants to, I follow house rules well and love to go on walks just like them! I’ve had experience crating dogs as well.
About: I am new to the app so I don’t have many reviews yet. But rest assured, I have lots of experience with house sitting and dog care. I would love to help you with other duties, including taking in mail, watering plants, keeping the place clean and tidy, etc. I have been the go-to-girl to dog sit and dog walk for all my friends, family, and neighbors since high school. I absolutely love to get to hangout with dogs and get my steps in! It would be a privilege to care for your precious pups! I am a doctor of physical therapy student at the KU Med Center. I have a 10 year old pug of my own named Beatrix, she is precious! I am never away from Bea for more than 5 hours at a time…but it usually is not that long. I am a homebody! And I dont mind at all to structure my schedule around caring for her, play and potty breaks, and three 30min walks/day. During the 2 days/week that I am in class from 8-5, I run home during lunch to take her out. I would do the same with your dogs as well! I have a flexible schedule that can allow me to work around your pups usual routine. I am able to take your dog out in your backyard or on a walk for potty breaks as often as needed. If I am house sitting for you, I would need to bring my 10 year old pug Beatrix to stay as well. She is easygoing and gets along great with other dogs. When I need dog care, I use Rover too! So Bea has spent a lot of time with new dogs in new homes. As a dog owner and Rover user myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, well cared for, and happy while in the care of someone new.
“Ellis was great! She took care of my babies like they were her own, even when Groot wouldn’t let her sleep. She updated me along the way and communicated with me throughout the day. This was my first time ever having someone spend the night with the dogs and she did amazing. Would book with her again !”
“Vanessa did a fantastic job taking care of my dog. I came home to a happy boy, a clean place, and will definitely use Vanessa in the future. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a sitter!”

Oak Park Southwest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bree was great with our dogs! She came over before our vacation to meet the dogs and then during her stay at our house, she sent photos of the dogs every day. She was clean and treated our home with respect. She even washed our sheets before leaving! We will definitely have Bree back!
Shyanne was great! We needed someone on short notice as our prior arrangement fell through. She was quick with her response and availability. She stayed in our home for 5 days and kept us updated on our dog and their activities. Before she left she also cleaned up very well which was nice to return home to a clean house!
Kortney is an incredible dogsitter. I always know she'll get our guy out on a walk, take care of the house, and keep us looped in as needed. I feel very good knowing she's taking care of our dog while we are away and completely trust her. Would highly recommend her services. She's the best!
Kristina was a wonderful sitter for my two dogs at my house. She is obviously super comfortable and happy with dogs, and she was very communicative and easy to get ahold of with any questions. She went above and beyond what I asked of her. Highly recommend Kristina to all other dog owners!!
I cannot recommend Devon enough! She took care of my two cats, Maximus and Khaleesi, with such genuine love, attention, and care. Maximus can be a handful and Khaleesi has a strict feeding and insulin routine. Devon handled all of it with complete grace. She was incredibly attentive to their behaviors, responsive to any changes, and kept me updated in the most thoughtful ways. She followed every instruction with care and still managed to go above and beyond, making sure they felt safe, seen, and loved while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my cats were in hands that were not only capable, but also kind. Devon is sweet, communicative, and clearly has a natural sense for animals. I would absolutely trust her again and again with Max and Khaleesi. She’s truly a gem.
So beyond grateful to have you watch my poor scared freaked out boy. I live in Nashville and come to visit my dad and my boy just hates it but seems so happy and content with you! I hope I can keep bringing Chief here until he feels more comfortable and will definitely keep bringing Chief back to you!! Trust them with your babies!!
Ilia might just be my cat's favorite new person. She did an outstanding job caring for our boy. I felt so much more at ease while on vacation, knowing that Ilia was there. She went out of her way, to keep to our cat's routine and rigorous feeding schedule. Additionally, she took care of the house beautifully. I will definitely be rebooking with Ilia in the future. So grateful for the services she provided our family.
