“Reily watched my two kitties for the weekend and did an amazing job! She followed all instructions, sent lots of updates and pictures, kept my home extremely clean. Will be using her again 😊🐈”

“She went above and beyond. Was great at communicating and sent lots of pictures for peace of mind. You can tell she truly loves animals!!! We will be using her again”

“We recently had the pleasure of having Sam watch our two dogs for nearly an entire week, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention he provided. Sam went above and beyond, even rearranging his work schedule to make sure our dogs were well looked after. He maintained their regimented routine, preparing their unique meals twice a day and taking them out for potty breaks and exercise an additional 3-4 times per day. His conscientiousness really showed in everything he did. Sam stayed overnight in our home, ensuring our dogs felt safe, secure, and comfortable in our absence. His communication was excellent—he sent us multiple photo updates throughout each day, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from the photos (and when we returned!) that our dogs were happy, calm, and well cared for. Honestly, I don’t think they even realized we were gone! Sam is incredible with animals, and it’s obvious he has a natural connection with dogs. He’s also friendly, respectful, and trustworthy. Knowing he was there allowed us to enjoy a much-needed vacation without any worry. We’re already planning to book Sam again for our next trip! If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and dedicated to caring for your pets as if they were his own, we can’t recommend Sam highly enough. Thank you again, Sam!”

“Wonderful! Very attentive to my poodles. Helped to address a food issue when one of mine went on a hunger strike. Very respectful of my home. She stayed for 3 days and 2 nites. Great communication! Love her!!”


“She was fantastic. Took extra care of our two pets. My dog is super anxious and yet did great with her. She contacts you just enough to let you know how everything is going. Would recommend to anyone. :)”

“We were without cell service for the weekend while camping. Typically that would make me so nervous, but I had zero anxiety about how my two cats and dog were because Grace is a true animal lover and pet sitter. She got to know their personalities and was spot on about what each of them likes/needs - such a great feeling for a pet owner. Thank you, Grace!”

“Denise was so kind to our dogs we have a special needs dog and she was wonderful with him she stayed the entire time and even took them on a hike and to the mall. Excellent care of our home and our pets!!! I would highly recommend!!! She even charmed our cat who hates everyone!!! We came home to a clean home and happy babies !!!”

“We've used Matthew more than once for petsitting our 4 fur babies (2 dogs and 2 cats), and will continue to do so! Very good communication and super punctual. We got lots of updates to show how much fun our pets were having with him.”

“Sarah was punctual, communicative, and so sweet with my dog. I appreciated her short turnaround response and hope to use her again soon for my frequent work trips. Highly recommended! Thank you!”


“Dora was amazing with my pups for house sitting! She kept me updated throughout my time away and sent plenty of pictures. She went above and beyond with everything. Thank you again!”

“Always Always Always the BEST!!!! I’ll be so sad if we ever lose her as a resource here in town. Shes amazing! Consistent communication, very clean, compassionate and understanding with our allergy hot mess of a dog 😮💨😬. We just adore Kelsie!”

“We had a great first experience using Rover! Lauren was awesome. She followed all of our instructions and kept us updated with pictures. It was clear our dogs were happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend!”

“D was super respectful of my home and took great care of my fur babies! They loved spending time with her and her daughter! I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”

About: Reliable, patient pet sitter experienced with puppies and senior dogs. Skilled in routines, positive reinforcement, exercise, and attentive care, ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits well into my routine as a student-athlete on summer break with lots of free time during the day. I’m especially available in the evenings and during the day and would love to drop by to let pets out, take them on walks, or provide overnight care and companionship. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in both my home and my clients’ homes by following all care instructions closely. I maintain clean, calm environments, secure doors and leashes, and use positive reinforcement. I respect each pet’s routine, monitor behavior and well being, and provide regular updates to owners to ensure peace of mind.
“Miranda was wonderful. My dog Nina was calm and relaxed when we came back home which is a great way to express that all went well. Our house was the way we had left, clean and organized. I will continue working with Miranda and recommend her to anyone who enjoys someone kind, polite and caring.”

“Kendall was absolutely amazing with Tito! She was punctual and incredibly reliable, which I truly appreciated. Tito was relaxed and clearly well cared for, and that means everything to me. I’m so grateful for Kendall and would 100% trust her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable sitter!”

About: I love dogs and I’m always happy to give them a playful day. Walks, runs, ball, frisbee…you name it! Here to make sure there’s more to a dog’s day besides sitting at home. Can be arranged for daily, weekly, randomly. Hoping to build strong friendships with owners and pups! All about taking new routes and trying new things. Making sure they are walked, fed, hydrated, happy, and healthy! All the belly rubs in the world and maybe a treat or two if the owner approves.
“We had an amazing experience with Rylee and would absolutely book her again. She took such great care of our dogs while we were on vacation and kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos throughout her stay. Seeing how happy and comfortable our dogs were with her gave us complete peace of mind. She was attentive to their needs, detail-oriented, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she watches. On top of that, she went above and beyond with our home — taking out the trash (inside and patio), neatly gathering her used linens and towels, and making sure everything was in order before she left. Rylee is reliable, considerate, and truly a fantastic dog sitter. We’re so thankful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets.”

Oakwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Braydon is the first non-family member to ever stay with our (10yo) dogs. He was attentive, communicative, and took great care of them while we were on a long trip. We came home to two happy pups and it was great not having to worry about them while we were gone. Would definitely recommend!

Kadence was amazing! I was nervous due to the length and time difference of my trip, but Kadence was so great! My cats are happy and relaxed, my apartment tidy, and she was responsive to any messages I sent. I am very happy with the level of care she showed my pets and my place 😊

Emelie was absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of Tito and kept me updated with adorable pictures of him having the best time and sleeping comfortably. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, safe, and truly loved. I couldn’t recommend her enough—10/10, hands down!

Emily was everything we hoped for. This was our first occasion using Rover or having a stranger in our house while we were on vacation. I was very pleased with Emily, her care for our home and our pets exceeded expectations. Her daily communication left us feeling confident that our little ones and our house were protected and cared for. We will definitely call her again. Thanks Emily.
Dena is amazing and warmhearted when it comes to loving my fur babies! I feel very much at peace and at ease knowing she is in my home giving my babies the attention they need and deserve! I will have her as my nanny moving forward knowing my babies were also very happy and loved on from the pics she sent.
