“Bailey made it possible for us to tour Graceland while she stayed with our dog, Preslee in our RV. She sent me pictures every half hour that made us feel at ease while we were away.”
“Brittany was great to work with! She is very responsive. She worked through a dog that’s slow to be friendly and took great care of the house.”
“Brenna was so sweet and attentive to my special needs dogs! I did a house sitting booking with her, and she kept my mind at ease while I was away. She took time to send me lots of updates and pictures, and made sure my dogs were cared for in every way. I will definitely be a repeat customer for her!”
“As a first time Rover user, I was not quite sure what to expect out of the app. But when I met Martha, I immediately know that I was leaving my furbabies in good hands. She had a quick response time to my request and communication was easy throughout her week long stay with my pets. She treated them as if they were her own and made me feel at ease while I was away. Great sitter!”
“Jaymes was fantastic! His communication both before and during the stay was excellent - very clear and timely. He spent a lot of quality time with our two pups, kept them on their usual routine, and sent photos and videos frequently, letting us know our boys were doing well. We came home to two happy and relaxed dogs and a home that was well taken care of in our absence and just as we left it if not better. We will absolutely book with Jaymes (and Jude!) again!”
“Lori took great care of my dog, Magnus & my home when I was traveling. She shared updates regularly, which gave me peace of mind. Thank you, Lori!!”
“Faith was great! We were nervous leaving our two dogs and elderly cat for 10 days, but Faith took great care of them. She administered meds and followed the crazy feeding instructions for one of our picky eaters. Definitely will use her again!”
“Taylor was very attentive to my senior Maltipoo and did an fabulous job of tidying up the house - without being requested to do it! I will use her again, for sure.”
“Haley was on time, asked important questions, and followed Sage’s routine. She also provided us updates throughout the stay, and was prompt to respond when we inquired about him. Thank you, Haley. I would definitely re-book.”
“We felt totally at ease leaving our 2 dogs in her care at our home. Our dog Oscar can be very shy and timid around new people, but I felt as though he warmed up to her quickly. We will definitely re-book in the future.”
“Kerry was absolutely wonderful! Not only did was she available last minute (as my sitter had to cancel), but my baby had an unforeseeable medical emergency while Kerry was with her. She was so good with my Ellie and worked with my parents in the middle of the night to make sure Ellie was taken care of. She also checked in a couple of days later to see how Ellie was doing. I would highly recommend Kerry to anyone and would love to have her take care of my baby again!”
“My dog loved having Emma come over to stay with him for the weekend! She has a great demeaner for working with animals which is patient, kind and competent. She made sure he got plenty of exercise and love. I knew he was in good hands as she treated Bodie like he was her own. I didn't worry one bit while I was away which was super nice. We adore her and I highly recommend her to care for your fur baby. Thank you! We can't wait to have you come over again!”
“I’m so grateful for the care and attention Haley gave Tj! She kept me updated with photos and made sure he was happy and comfortable the entire stay. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I will absolutely book with her again!”
“Savanah was wonderful! She took time to get to know our babies personalities! She made sure they were well cared for. We appreciated her updates including that they were running out of food in a timely manner! Our babies mean the world to us and we are so happy they were treated well!”
“I was nervous using Rover for the first time, but Amy completely set us at ease and made sure to text me updates! She even stayed at our house through a crazy power outage and made sure our babies were loved on. Can’t wait to book her again!”
About: I grew up with animals. I've only ever had pet care jobs. I wanted to volunteer at a shelter, but I couldn't at the time because I wasn't 18 yet! So... I went to college studying animal sciences. I've been a dog groomer, dog daycare employee, a vet tech, and worked at shelters! I have two cats of my own, but a spare room in my house for your pets to stay. I can rotate them so your pet gets time in the whole house (if your pet is not scared). I currently work from home! I walk dogs and pet sit because I do not have a dog of my own, and I want a buddy who Is with me when I have free time. I love dogs that love toys! I have two cats, but a 3 bedroom house, so there is a room for separation of pets. Please let me know of your vacations, so I can help you out during yours, or on the holidays!
“Kara was great with our Doodles Karma and Coco! Karma can be very jumpy when first meeting a new person as he gets very excited, but Kara knew just what to do to calm him down. Coco is a very anxious and reactive mini-Doodle, but once she trusts someone new she is a very sweet cuddle bug. Kara had them both doing commands and begging for cookies on our first meet and greet and stay for the day! I was very happy and pleased that my dogs trusted her. I highly recommend Kara and will definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs. I love to take long walks and tire out the dogs. My old roommate had a cat who I was really close with that I enjoyed spending time cuddling on the couch or dangling string in their face. I am an animal lover, fast learner and enthusiastic person. I’m currently unemployed helping my father with redoing our home so I have lots of free time. I am an early riser so morning walks are a part of my routine. I really prefer to walk dogs when it’s light out but am happy to have them play in a yard when it’s getting dark. I am very attentive and will follow any instructions left. I am a very quiet and am mostly a book worm. I can house pets at my house but prefer to keep animals in their own environment, I find it’s easier to connect with them and have them less anxious while they’re owners are away

Oakville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Barbara is the most thorough & caring sitter I have ever had for Mookie through Rover. Some of my last Rover sitters have not been too good so she helped me see there are still people out there who are in it for the animals not the money. She came over and met Mookie and recorded everything I asked her to do then sent me a review so we could make sure it was correct. She let me know when she arrived, kept me updated with how Mookie was doing and let me know when she was leaving. She sent me a few pictures and just made me feel so comfortable. She has a real knack and could teach a few sitters how it should be done! Thank you so much Barbara. I will definitely rebook her!!
