“If I could leave a million stars I would!! Kara and her fam were absolutely incredible with Bubba and kept me updated as needed! I will be asking her back every time we leave!! It’s special to find people you aren’t concerned every second of the day hoping your pup is okay! The house was cleaner than we left it, so thank you SO MUCH Kara and family!”

“Amber took great care of our pups and house over the weekend. Many photo updates and happy pups when we got home. I would absolutely recommend and look forward to working with her again soon!”

“Kris did a great job watching our dog Maple at our house. He is very communicative, took her for daily walks, sent pictures, kept us informed, and left our house spotless. He responded quickly to any messages we sent him. I will gladly contact Kris again for future pet/house sitting opportunities and hope he is available.”

About: I have had pets of my own for the past 38 years, since I was 12 years old. I also have a degree in biology and chemistry and have worked in animal hospitals and zoos. My husband, Scott, has had pets all his life. We treat our pets with the love and care that family members deserve, and we take our responsibility to them very seriously. Currently, we have a 2 year old black lab who absolutely loves all other animals, and a 14 year old cat who mostly sleeps in quiet, dark places. Our dog, Rosie, is always looking for new friends and is very submissive with them. She just wants to play and snuggle! Our children are grown and help with the care of them. Our house is full of pet lovers! We are very active and love to go for hikes, and we always keep dogs on their leash on the trails. We're happy to take your doggy to the dog park, as well, if you request it. You can have total peace of mind while your pup stays with us! I currently work part time and Scott, my husband, is a teacher and has summers off. I'm home a lot during the entire year, and we're both home on weekends. We have a fenced in backyard for running around and playing fetch. We have a large house and a fenced in yard where our dog, Rosie, loves to run around or playing fetch with us. We regularly go for walks in the neighborhood and hikes in the woods or on the beach. We love to take Rosie to the dog park, but will skip it if you're not comfortable with it. Scott is a teacher and has weekends and all summer free. Stephanie works part time, mostly from home and is at home most of the time during the week and is also available weekends. We have a large fenced yard and a wonderful Labrador retriever to keep your fur baby happy! We love giving dogs love and attention! We also love to take walks if that is something your dog enjoys.
“Marg was great with my two dogs while we were out of town for a weekend with family. She was communicative and sent me a few photos and updates throughout the weekend. I could tell the boys felt comfortable with her! Thanks again, Marg.”

“Noah was easy to talk to, quick to respond, and made me feel very confident in Sisko's care. He sent pictures every day, as we agreed to, and sent extras if asked. My apartment was left in great shape and Sisko seemed in good spirits. Would 100% recommend, and 100% consider hiring for another stay.”

“payton was awesome! my spouse & i recently moved and were looking for a pet sitter to watch our girls for a wedding we knew we had a week after the move and we’re so grateful we found payton! our pup loved her and we were able to have fun at the wedding knowing they were in good hands. we’ll absolutely be reaching out to payton for future sits and i’d recommend you do too if you’re looking for a kind, responsible, and pet loving sitter in the TC area - thank you payton!”

“Gina did a great job watching my special needs, super senior cat Bridget for a long weekend at my house, along with my 15 backyard chickens. Bridget is near end-of-life with multiple health problems including late stage Chronic Kidney Disease with neurological involvement, and she needs multiple daily medications by both the subcutaneous and oral routes to keep her comfortable. Gina provided me with many regular updates including photos and video, and was quickly responsive to my messages. Gina also called right away when Bridget started exhibiting unusual/changed behavior so we could adjust care appropriately. She made the best of a difficult situation. I recommend Gina for in-home pet sitting.”
“This is the second time Michelle has stayed with our two pups and we came home to two happy, well-cared for pets and a spotless home. It is very nice to have a dependable sitter and sets my mind at ease while away from home!”


“I am so late getting to this review. So sorry Jill! Jill stayed overnight with our two labs on the 23rd of December. She was amazing, came home to a clean house and happy and healthy dogs. Highly recommend and would definitely use again!”

“We love having Jordan stay with our dog. She takes great care of him and sends us the cutest picture updates. She always takes great care of our home as well which is so nice to come home to.”

About: Hello, my name is Morgan and I have been around dogs my entire life. I currently have 2 corgis of my own. Working with dogs would be a great job for me because it would let me relieve some stress, while also allowing me to be able to help others! I love all dogs no matter what shape, size, or smell they come in. Thank you so much for your time :) I take care of my 2 corgis daily with walks around the neighborhood! They love to run out in the snow. They also get brushed often as they have a lovely (lol) double coat. I consider myself a neat and organized person! If caring for pets in your home, paws will be wiped down when entering and will keep the home tidy!

“Regan did an amazing job with our three dogs. She was super friendly and professional angle kept us in the loop while we were away. We will DEFINITELY be hiring Regan again!”

“Patty just finished a few day stay with our 'gang off littles'! Just delightful. Many thanks to her from us and our three Shih Tzus. Everybody had a good time and for sure shared some laughs. THANK YOU, thank you! Look for you next time. Penny, Dave and Sheila, Mickey and Carl.”


About: While your fur baby is in my care they get quality playtime, walks and love. I treat them like they are my own. You will also get daily updates and photos. Pet sitting is my full time job. This gives me plenty of time to play or walk your dog. I'm also able to do overnight visits, stays or boarding. I have a large yard and neighborhood to take nice long walks in. I also have a dog that loves to play and get along with others.
“Vesta took great care of our and cats at our home. She sent photos of all of them and kept us updated when she arrived and left. It was awesome that she came to meet them before the booking so we knew they’d be comfortable with her. Pepperoni thanks you for the couch snuggles, Vesta!”

Platte River pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time hiring a professional dog/house sitter and it won't be our last! Steph was outstanding - responsive, respectful, and caring. She took great care of our 2 dogs AND our chickens. The house was in better shape than when we left and it was truly amazing to not worry about our fur babies while traveling. I would not hesitate to hire Steph again - Thank you Steph!
