“Devan was attentive, affectionate, friendly, and a pleasure to be around. I felt that my pup and cats were in good hands with Devin. He is honest, hardworking, understanding, and a prompt communicator. Devin provided updates throughout our booking, met with the animals prior to booking and was very easy going. I would very much so recommend Devan for your next booking!”

“Did an amazing job with our pets and really went above and beyond with her pet sitting services. She stayed at our home with the animals and was a great house guest while we were gone”

“So excited we came across Lauren's profile! She did an excellent caring for our two pups, one is a senior and completely blind so Lauren spent extra time caring for her special needs. Lauren was also very communicative and left the house well organized, she also did a great job letting us know what her days looked like as far as her scheduling to be hanging with the pups. We've already booked a 2nd house sit with her! Thanks again for being so detailed in your communication!”

About: Me and my wonderful partner Jazz have decades in the fur-tastic game! With a childhood on a farm, my daily crew included dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and cows (just to name a few!). I wear a perpetual grin, love nature walks, and I always take time to train any of our furry guests! As an at-home actor and producer, I occasionally swap my comfy couch for the thrill of a film set. We always love some furry friends to play with our corgi. Daily walks? We're on it 2-3 times a day. Backyard escapades? Always on the schedule! And come weekends, we're either hitting the trails or chasing fun at the park. Safety first, fun always! Our neighborhood is safe and walking distance to a park. And for the tinier fur-bundles, we've got a cozy crate ready for some snug time.
“Sean was very communicative and left our house super clean! He took such good care of our senior dog and also checked in our chickens every day. I would definitely recommend Sean to anyone who needs someone they trust to take care of their animals and home!”

“Lois did a great job of taking care of my dogs and house. The house was exactly as I left it, I was sent multiple updates a day on the dogs (along with photos), and they were flexible on leaving and return time.”

“Deondre was wonderful! I needed a last minute sitter as my dog recently had an injury to his back and cannot be left alone. Deondre stepped up and was able to come and sit with him the next day. He even carried my 65 pound pit mix up and down the stairs! Would definitely recommend him - especially for bigger dogs :)”
“Sydney went about and beyond with my anxious dog, Rosie. They also left my home in better condition when what they found it. They provided regular updates, pictures, videos. I would highly recommend for any of your pet care/housesitting needs. It’s always hard to be away from our pets but I know my dog will be in great care with Sydney!!”

“Javay was fantastic! Super communicative and was incredibly patient with my senior anxious dog. She was available last minute which was a huge life saver for us. Thank you so so much Javay, Murph misses you!”

“She was amazing will definitely book again! She always kept the updates coming where I didn’t have to wonder about anything with my dogs. & also my very skittish shy-like dog actually was opening up and got along with her as well!”

“Working with Julia was the perfect experience! She sent lots of pictures, took our dog on multiple walks and was great at communicating throughout the entire process. She’s friendly, reliable and trustworthy and we would definitely love to work with her again!”

About: I have had animals all of my life. Growing up in my home we always took in strays and gave them the best home possible. My love for animals especially dogs has always been great. I have cared for dogs all of my life and strive to make sure every dog in my care is happy and loving it’s temporary home. I also have trained my own dogs all of my life and try to provide a safe and warm environment for all dogs who stay in my home. I am a available to dog sit at any time including holidays and weekends with atleast two weeks in advance booking in order to make sure that I am able to available at the time that is necessary
“Tevin did a great job caring for my senior dog, who needs meds and is incontinent. He kept me updated with pics and videos, was easy to communicate with, and left the house spotless. Would definitely book again!”

“We are so appreciative of Madison’s care and attention to our pets and our home while we were out of town for the week of Thanksgiving. We received regular updates and prompt communication, and we returned home to a tidy house and happy pets. Thank you Madison!”

“Bryan took wonderful care of our dogs. We received daily updates and he followed all of our instructions perfectly, which is no easy task with two senior dogs. We would highly recommend him and will definitely use his services again in the future.”

“If I could give over 5 stars, I would. Leslie stepped in 7 days before my trip when another sitter backed out. My dog had just had surgery and recovery was not going as planned. Leslie was able to stay with him the whole time, was excellent about giving him a bunch of medicine, and dealing with a dog unhappy to be in a cone! She checked in routinely and updated me about how my dog was doing! The peace of mind I had was amazing.”

“Ayshah is truly one of the best sitters I’ve found on rover. I believe she goes above and beyond for both you as a pet parent AND your dog. So impressive, highly highly recommend.”

Christian was absolutely one of the best sitters we’ve ever had! Our regular sitter was unavailable, and Christian may have just taken the top spot. He was incredibly responsive for a last-minute booking, and it was obvious from the start that he genuinely loves dogs. Our boys were very well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were with him. We would book with Christian again without hesitation!

We have used Tevin exclusively for our dog and house sitting for almost a year and he has been absolutely wonderful. (Kianna too) From the moment we leave, we know our dogs and home are in the best possible hands. Our dogs adore him, and it is obvious how much care, attention, and love he gives them while we are away. He is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and communicative, and he always keeps us updated with messages and photos that give us real peace of mind while traveling. Having someone we fully trust with our pets and home is invaluable, and we truly cannot recommend Tevin highly enough.

Leslie was awesome, a breeze to communicate with and steppe into such a wild situation with an elderly small dog with special needs, a brand new rescue and a very vocal old hound. She knew how to handle all the various needs and meds and temperaments. We already booked her for your next vacation! And great calm energy!!

Thank you Dazia for doing such a great job caring for all of our fur babies! What can I say, you are a kind spirit and it shows in your love of animals. This was our first time leaving the babies with a sitter other the close friends but to be able to leave our dogs in such good care, really put our mind at ease. We were able to enjoy our trip. Dazia provided regular updates, texts, and photos, often. Thanks!
Anisha was the absolute best! As a first time Rover user we were nervous and she sent continuous updates and pictures that eased our minds. Her two pups were so sweet to our dog as well and we were so grateful our dog had the chance to play with others. Truly a great first experience!

Lauren did a great job babysitting our 6.5 year old dog who can be timid and nervous around new people. When our flight was delayed coming back from vacation Lauren worked with us to do an extra last minute drop in visit which put our mind at ease while we dealt with a change in travel plans. Would definitely book with Lauren again!

This is my forever favorite!!!! I had to leave same day for Orlando and she was able to accommodate my big baby of a Borador for 3 days. She sent me check in photos and helped me feel so relieved I forgot to check in. If you don’t book Ha I will thank you Jas 🫶🏽
