“Excellent job pet sitting for Luna and Bodie. Both were happy and healthy when I returned. Brittany is a great communicator, providing frequent updates. I will definitely call on her again.”
“Angie was amazing! One of my dogs is very uncomfortable with strangers and within 5 minutes they were best buds. I was very relieved to be able to go out of town knowing that my babies wouldn’t be stressed and would be in great hands. They can’t wait to see Angie again next week!”
“We were so pleased with Airym’s attention to our dog while we were out of town. The daily updates and photos reassured us that he was well looked after. I would highly recommend booking with her!!”
“Stephanie was great! She helped us out when we were in a sitting bind and provided us with a lot of updates which made us feel at ease while we were away.”
About: I’m a warm, gentle caregiver with over ten years of experience in Emergency, End‑of‑Life, and Primary Veterinary Medicine. As a current CVT student, I bring medical knowledge, compassion, and calm confidence to every pet I care for. I specialize in senior pets, medicated care, hospice support, and post‑surgical recovery. Every pet I meet is treated like family, and I’m honored to care for your fur baby with the same love and attention I give my own. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's needs! I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and cuddles! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I work from home with Lap of Love, which means I’m in a calm, quiet, and compassionate environment every day. Because of my veterinary background and CVT schooling, I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and stress levels. I follow all safety protocols, use fear‑free handling, and maintain a clean, peaceful space for pets who may be anxious, senior, or recovering. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with patience, gentleness, and medical awareness at all times.
“Jeni took such incredible care of my elderly dog. So much so that when I returned home after 16 days, my dog was so mellow and content that she didn't freak out over seeing me (which usually happens!). Jeni sent regular pics and updates and made me feel like I could totally disconnect and not stress about my dog at all. And on top of her care of my dog, she was the perfect houseguest and left my place SPOTLESS. An absolute treat after being gone for so long, coming home to clean house :)”
“Melanie house sat for me, caring for my two cats while I was away. This included giving medicine every morning and managing two cats that don’t yet fully get along. I would book with Melanie again. Next service I would communicate how often I’d like to receive pictures and updates.”
“Teagan did a great job watching Niko and left my apartment immaculate. Very kind and provided regular updates for Niko which put my mind at ease and let me enjoy my trip to the fullest. Definitely found a long term dog sitter!”
“My experience with Jennifer as a dog sitter was absolutely wonderful. She stayed overnight at my apartment and took exceptional care of both of my dogs, making sure they were comfortable, safe, and well-loved the entire time. I especially appreciated the regular photo updates and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dogs were happy and relaxed in her care. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and communicative sitter.”
“Camryn was amazing. She checked in regularly & sent photos of my 3 pups. I could tell they were having a blast with her. They are all senior gals, the oldest being 17. When I got home, they were all so happy, everything was clean (including them! Which is hard when you're battling incontinence and bladder issues). Camryn is top notch and my gals cannot wait for me to go out of town again!!!”
“Lindsey took fantastic care of my dogs and cat. She has stayed with them in the past and I was thrilled when she was able to stay again. I know she takes extraordinary care of my babies, even my senior boy who gets medication twice a day. Thank you again, Lindsey! Hope to see you next time!!!”
“Kameron was awesome! My dogs immediately took to him! My aloof dog even cuddled u to him first night! 🥰 Great communication /dog pics and quick response times.”
“Jen was awesome! She made it so easy to be away from our dog knowing she was still getting lots of love! Jen sent us pictures and updates daily and we could see our pup felt so comfortable with her! She left our house in great shape and treated like her own. We would love to have Jen back taking care of our Chocho!”
“Taylor was lovely! Our house was clean when we got back despite our gremlins running amok in our absence. She was communicative everyday and our babies loved on her and snuggled with her too. ♡”
“The timing could not have been worse, our Wheaton Terrier, Winston fell a little sick just as we were about to go away for a few days. Fortunately for us, we found John on Rover.com a couple days before. He looked after Winston, performing all the daily routine activities, (scheduled feedings, walks twice per day, etc), as well as administering medication since Winston was feeling is best. John provided a few pictures and videos as well. John did a great job watching over Winston.”
About: Hi, I’m Yoli. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and treat every pup as if they were my own. I understand that each dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I thoughtfully adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I recently lost my dog of 13 years, and caring for her through every stage of life deepened my understanding of patience, consistency, and the unconditional love dogs deserve. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Because I do not have other pets at home, your dog will receive my full focus in a calm, structured, and loving apartment environment. Whether your pup enjoys active walks, relaxing strolls, structured routines, or quiet companionship, I make sure they feel secure and comfortable while you are away. I am also comfortable caring for senior dogs and administering basic medications if needed. Safety, reliability, and clear communication are very important to me. I follow your dog’s routine closely and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected during their stay. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your furry family member into a peaceful, caring home.
“Orima was wonderful with our kitties! She was very attentive and spent a lot of time with them. She sent us photos everyday along with updates. I am very happy with her level of care and will definitely be reaching out to her for future opportunities. Thanks Orima!”
“Malia did such a great job taking care of our sweet puppy. She babysat him for a long weekend while we were out of town and they had a blast together! She provided regular updates and was super responsive. Our flight home ended up getting delayed and she even stayed a bit longer to make sure our dog had the proper care. He can’t wait to see her again. Thank you Malia!”

This was the first time my husband and I have ever used a service like Rover, and Angela did a great job making us feel confident in our decision. Our dog is 10 years old and not used to people she doesn’t know. Angela was super sweet and attentive to our girl during our trip. She sent several photos, videos and check-ins throughout her stay. She took good care of our place and Mo was in good spirits when we came home. We’ve already booked Angela again. I would definitely recommend her!

Erica did a great job housesitting and watching my dog! She kept me updated regularly, followed all my instructions and made sure my dog felt comfortable while I was away. My apartment was left exactly as I left it. Could not recommend Erica more and will definitely be asking her to housesit again!
We cannot recommend Shannon enough! She watched our two dogs for a week while we were on vacation and went completely above and beyond. She arrived at 5:00 AM to help us get to our flight on time, which was such a huge help. And so early!! Throughout the week, she sent daily updates with tons of photos and details about their walks, dog park trips, and potty breaks. It was clear she truly cared for them, she even made time for lots of cuddles, which they loved. We were able to fully unplug and relax knowing they were in such great hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Shannon again!
Kevina was amazing with our 3 cats and 2 dogs! Our animals warmed up to her almost immediately and she took great care of them! She shared lots of pictures and videos and provided more than enough updates-which I loved. I would definitely use kevina as a sitter again.
