“Kimberly is the best dog sitter we have had for our Yorkiepoo ... Zoey! She treats her pet care business professionally by initiating contact to confirm we are all set 3 days before her house sitting dates, communication, photos and videos of Zoey's activities of the day, and she professionally follows up with communication after the house sitting dates. She is detailed in many aspects which I very much appreciate in Zoey's care and our house. During her stay, Kimberly noticed our neighbors putting out their trash cans and texted us to see if we wanted her to pull ours out to the curb. Kimberly brought a dog puzzle for Zoey and it was fun to watch the video of Zoey working the puzzle. Within 24 hours Zoey was already asking for belly rubs which is record breaking and a testament to Kimberly's care, style, and energy. You can tell Kimberly is nurturing in her care of our little baby. I'm a helicopter dog mom, so I am grateful knowing how well Zoey was taken care of during her 5 night stay. We will use Kimberly again for my peace of mind!”
“Vanessa is solid. We truly trust her to take great care of our 3 three cats and pup. We come home to happy animals and a clean home, and cannot ask for more. She is great with communication, proactive, and accommodating.”
About: Hello hello! I’ll try to keep this short and sweet! I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. My family would bring in cats and dogs off the street and make sure they had a loving home! Growing up we actually had twelve cats at one point and two dogs! I’ve always had a warm heart for animals of all shapes and sizes! I have three cats of my own, one has three paws and a nub so I am experienced with handicap animals. He lost his paw in a freak accident when I was 16 and it was definitely a journey for his recovery but I made sure he got back to the loving biscuit machine he is! My family currently has four Australian Shepherds, a Wiener Dog, and three cats of their own. For family and friends I’m the first to call on if babysitting is needed! I guarantee your fur babies will get the love and attention they need while you’re apart❤️ I am currently self employed and homeschooling kids so I am around pets all day! My schedule is very flexible! I am traveling a lot this year, so I will make sure my days are blocked off, but other than that, I am available! You will get regular updates and photos from me while I take care of your babies at home! If any concerns arise don’t hesitate to call my number! If you have very specific instructions for your loved ones I will make sure to follow them to a te! Please let me know if any concerns with, food, walking, household items, or outside time arises ❤️
“Juliette was fantastic with our three fur children for a long house sitting stay! She had great communication, sent us photos and videos, and took exceptional care of them. She will be our new go to sitter!”
“Abby was great! She took care of Bella wonderfully and gave me regular updates! Very thankful!”
“I highly recommend Lily!! She was a sweet kind wonderful sitter for our three very different needs dogs- a dog lover!!! We had a Puppy , 14 yr old sick dog and middle of the road 3 yr old with anxiety - she handled them all beautifully !! With love and compassion! I loved the updates , videos, pictures etc you never have to wonder what’s going on. She keeps you updated. Never had a worry ! if I could give more than five stars, I would!! Couldn’t have a better sitter! I will be using her again if possible I’m sure she’s in demand”
“Everything went well.. "The Boys" liked her and she sent pics to reassure us all was well. We will book her again. The Erickson's”
“Courtney was amazing! Booked kinda last minute on a Friday night for house sitting Saturday and she was available. She did a great job taking care of our Bosa while we were gone and very trustworthy & responsible. Got fun pics of our boy! Will definitely be booking again soon!”
“I hired Stephanie through Rover.com on short notice, and she exceeded all expectations! She was quick to respond and set up a meet and greet before sitting our fur baby, Lily. Stephanie was incredibly responsive, caring, and maintained a clean environment. Lily absolutely adored her and can't wait to see her again. Highly recommend Stephanie for anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog (or any other pet) sitter!”
“Such a wonderful experience leaving our fur babies with trusted people. Elizabeth and Stephanie gave us picture updates every day and night on how everyone was doing. They were very prompt to return and messages we sent off to them. Overall beyond happy with this experience would definitely use them again.”
“Sophia was a wonderful dog and house sitter. She provided ongoing information about how the dogs (3!) were doing...with pictures! She took care of the house, put out the garbage when she saw the neighbor's cans outside, and handled it well when one of the dogs had an accident in the house. She clearly LOVES animals and it was obvious when we got home that our dogs loved her too. She is going to be our go-to dog sitter!”
About: I have always been an animal lover. Growing up, I always had at least two dogs in the house with me. My parents always instilled never ending love for the family pets into me and nothing make me more comfortable than a furry friend by my side. I also spent some time working for a dog boarding facility in my hometown of Wichita, Kansas. While loving every minute of it, I would like to pursue that feeling again by working for Rover and taking excellent care of your furry friend. I work full-time at a local high school as a coach. My schedule is open in various slots in the day for dog care, and my job allows me to take care of any tasks I need to throughout the day as long as my work is not affected. I am usually off work by 5:30 pm and live just minutes away from work. I also do not work on weekends, so those days are full of opportunity. In your home, I will make sure the pets are safe and getting as much love, attention, and playtime as they deserve! When on walks, I will ensure they are a safe distance from vehicles and that they are cleaned up after.
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and owner, experienced with pups of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m skilled in basic training, administering medications, and general care. My calm and patient approach ensures every pup feels safe, loved, and cared for. Let me be your dog’s second favorite human! As I work from home, I’m able to spend the entire day with your pup. Whether it’s potty breaks or play time, they will get whatever attention they need! In my home, your dog will enjoy a cozy, safe, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I’ll make sure they feel right at home with their favorite toys, treats, and a comfortable spot to relax. When caring for your dog in your home, I’ll stick to their familiar routines, keeping them comfortable and stress-free. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, or extra belly rubs, I’ll treat your dog like family, wherever they are!
About: I live with my two cats & 15yrs old adopted wiener. But since last year I started walking the dogs around my neighborhood from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs. So pretty much I took care of every type of dog. All of them deserve to be loved! I'm actually on college so pet care gonna fit between my college schedule. A couple hours during the mornings most of the time & the weekends. Depending on the type of pet. Some pets really need to go for walks/runs more often or play time outside. Meanwhile more senior pets needs more attention for special needs or potty time. But always with all the love that they deserve.
About: I've been a dog mom for over 10 years and currently have 1 beautiful furbaby. Needless to say, I'm a dog lover and I've never met a pup that didn't like me and vis a versa. I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I'm very active myself, so your pup is going to go on awesome active walks/runs with me (if that is what your pup likes to do). But if they also like to take their time, I will take the walk slower and give them lots of cuddles along the way. My work schedule allows for a lot of flexibility during the day, so I'm very open to walking your dog on a weekly schedule or even last minute. I also walk dogs through other services and have a 5 star rating from my dogs' owners. 😊 I am currently working a hybrid work schedule and have flexibility in my workday, evenings, and weekends. Happy to help with your furbaby during all times of the day. I love my furbaby and my clients' furbabies. I'm a big walker, so if your baby needs a walk (fast/slow), I'm happy to accommodate. Since I don't live in a fenced in home, I take my furbaby on lots of walks.
“Gianni was amazing! Our Ellie (Golden Retriever) and Glizzy (grey house cat) LOVED her. She was attentive and loving to them and continually provided updates to us throughout our trip. She stayed at our house with them and we were all more comfortable because she was willing to do so. We will gladly use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for some one to care for their pets.”
“Elise was very professional with our dogs and us humans. She also did a wonderful job as a in home sitter to our two larger dogs. When we got back from our weekend trip, the house was as we left it and the dogs were very relaxed. I will definitely be reaching out to Elise with any future pet needs.”
“Morgan did a wonderful job staying in our home with our 2 Bichon's for a 3 day and 3 night stay. We have a high energy (not always easy!) puppy and a much older dog who has poor eyesight and also needs to be "protected" from the puppy. It's not an easy job. Morgan was so warm, loving, positive, and on top of everything! She clearly takes her role as a professional seriously and she confidently followed all of our notes and gave our dogs lots of love and attention. She is extremely responsive to all communications and answered all questions we had, gave us updates any time, and was honest about how our dogs were doing (like when they weren't eating well she told us). That gave us a lot of peace of mind. The dogs clearly adored her and we came home to our house in perfect shape and healthy happy pups. We will definitely be using Morgan again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11, my parents being so impressed by how attentive and loving I was with my first dog they allowed me a second and it kept increasing from there. I now have two dogs a German shepherd and a Aussiedoodle, they love company and have never shown any signs of aggression at home or at dog parks. I’ve trained my dogs everything they know and I take pride in them being good girls. I recently stopped working to focus on training my 1 year old Aussiedoodle, therefore leaving me with more than enough time to spend with your furry member(s) of the family. I have 2 acres of unfenced land behind the house for the dogs to run around in, I will not allow your dog to roam around without leash to protect against your dog running off etc

“Angelica was EXCELLENT! Super attentive and communicated the whole time we were away. She sent photos of our babies (needy cats and a dog!) every day so we knew they were safe and happy.

“Cole watched my wife and I’s dog for about a month while we in the process of moving. Our dog has pretty bad separation anxiety and required medication. Cole did an exceptional job and sent us pictures of him to keep us in the loop. He took him on walks, played with him, and even took his meds at the times he needed. Our dog Tucker adored Cole and didn’t want to leave whenever we picked him up. If I had to give Cole a 5 Star rating id give him 10! Best experience We’ve had.”

14. Lautaro C.
“I'm so grateful to have found Lautaro to care for my two-year-old Spanish Water Dogs! This breed is known for being extremely energetic, and Lautaro handled them wonderfully. He didn't just manage them; he truly engaged with them, even going for runs with them to help them burn off their energy.It's clear Lautaro has a real passion for animals. He understood my dogs' needs and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and well-cared for. I returned home to find my dogs relaxed, healthy, and content, which is the best possible testament to Lautaro's skills and dedication. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and energetic pet caregiver!”
