“Lori is officially Aunt Lori to Barley. We've had Lori watch Barley 5, times this summer? We can tell how loved Barley is while we are gone because when we come home, she's just like- oh heeey my other parents. Cool! Lori is family. She loves our pup and we are forever grateful that she keeps taking us on.”
“Ellie was great with my pup while house sitting! I got daily updates with pictures and videos and she left my apartment very clean. Will definitely be re-booking in the future!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, raising my first puppy on my family farm at 10 years old. Since then, I’ve worked professionally in a boarding facility where I supervised group play, monitored behavior, and made sure every dog stayed safe and comfortable. I also have hands-on experience in a shelter environment, working with animals of all temperaments, including shy, reactive, and high-energy. This has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and adjust care to each individual’s needs. I focus on creating calm, enriching experiences for all kinds of animals, whether that’s a structured walk, playtime, or just giving your pet the patience and attention they deserve. Please let me know if you have any questions in booking me for your next walk or stay! Caring for animals is something I intentionally build into my weekly rhythm. I am typically available Monday through Saturday and have a flexible, open schedule, so I can give pets the time and consistency they need throughout the day. I also run my own art business, which allows me to work independently and stay flexible. This means i’m able to be fully present for each visit, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or a calm check-in for more sensitive pets. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I enter. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, boundaries, and body language so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and low-stress. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s established routine. I’m especially mindful with shy or reactive animals, giving them patience, space, and gentle consistency to build trust. My experience in boarding and shelter environments has taught me how to read behavior, prevent conflicts, and create a safe, secure environment for pets of all temperaments.
“Isabela was great with our two dogs. We booked her for house sitting while we were away on vacation and our dogs were well taken care of. She stayed with them for long periods of time, not just quick check ins and we really appreciated that. She was also great with communication! Would definitely recommend her and plan to book her next time!”
About: I’ve take care of cats and dogs for 20 years. While I grew up with both, I have a huge passion for cats! Whether it’s playing with wand toys or hiding treats, my family and friends know I’ll take excellent care of their cats while they’re away. As for dogs, I grew up with a Golden Retriever and Maltese, so I’m well-versed in taking dogs on walks, feeding them, and even giving them a bath! My schedule is flexible right now so I am always able to take care of my pets when needed. I take care of my cat daily and also help with my relatives pets. I have one cat and make sure she’s fed twice a day, using the litter box, and getting exercise. When I’m at your home, I’ll be sure to interact with your animal and make sure they’re not missing you too much!
“Daniel was fantastic! He took amazing care of both our dogs, cats, and house. It was the most stress free experience I’ve ever had on vacation. He sent daily updates and photos, tidied up the home, and followed our dog’s routine making it a seamless transition. Our rescue who struggles to be around new people warmed up to him quickly. I highly recommend Daniel! We will definitely be using him again for any future trips.”
“Elizabeth was simply wonderful! Kind, courteous, and accommodating, and all three of my pets just love her. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Elizabeth!!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of all breeds and ages since I was 11 years old. My family, friends, and even coworkers have trusted me to take care of their animals and all of their needs. I have several years of experience working with sick and elderly animals, as my own dog was a senior rescue. I'm currently a college student that has 1-3 classes a day that can get pretty busy, but I still have plenty of time to hang out and play with your animal and give it all of the attention it deserves! My schedule is very flexible outside of my class hours. I can easily handle dogs who have high anxiety and stress responses and the house rules for the animals always come first! I'm more than happy to do whatever your pet needs to be happy!!
“Emma stayed overnight with our dog and did a great job! She was patient with our unsure dog and kept us updated with photos and a video of them having a good time. She was recommended to us by a coworker and we would recommend her to anyone who needs a kind, reliable pet sitter!”
“Virginia was amazing. She stayed with my dogs for a week at my house and did such a wonderful job taking care of them. She also watered my plants and left my house cleaner than it was before she got here. She was super thoughtful with photos and updates. I will definitely have her back!!!”
“Thanks so much for accommodating my last minute booking and taking good care of the pups while I was out of town! So nice getting pics and knowing pups are well cared for while being gone.”
“Lilia was amazing with our rescue pup, Berkley! She is super calm and kind - we could tell our Berkley already felt comfortable around her the first time she met her! She sent us many photos throughout the weekend. She was very communicative and professional. We would recommend her to any friend or family member!”
“Alyssa did a great job with our anxious doggies! They seemed very content when we came back from our trip which is a testament to how well she did with them and how comfortable they were with her. We will definitely look to her in the future!”
“Wendy was wonderful to work with. She house sat with our two dachshunds for several days and sent us pictures and photos of how they were getting along. She's punctual and respectful of our home. Definitely recommend.”
“Paola was so attentive to our beloved Kona. She went above and beyond day after day, very consistent with check-in and photos, so we could see our dog as she even offered to clean up around the house a little bit and do anything that needed done while we were away of all of the rovers, I’ve tried this has without a doubt been our best experience. Quit looking for other rovers just go ahead and book Paola with confidence.”
“Dominic did a wonderful job watching our two dogs over the weekend! He was very communicative, sending lots of photos and updates. He took them on daily walks and provided them with lots of playtime. You can tell he really cares for the dogs like his own. We will for sure be booking again in the future.”
“Laurie was great! We needed a last minute sitter and Laurie jumped in to help out. She took great care of our pups and house. You could tell in the pics that they were relaxed and having fun. We have 3 dogs, which can be a lot. One is highly anxious but warmed up to Laurie the first day. She have very thoughtful and excellent questions about the dogs and housebefore we left and as needed during her stay. I couldn't have been happier and more comfortable. We will definitely be asking Laurie to sit for us again!”
“We are so lucky to have Emily as a sitter! She protected my Sheltie by picking him up and running with him when a loose dog started charging toward them. Grateful beyond words. I highly recommend her!”
Platte Woods pet parents share their Rover experiences
Breana was absolutely amazing with our dogs! She kept us updated, made us feel completely at ease while we were away, and it was so clear that our pups were well cared for and loved. We came home to happy dogs and had such peace of mind the entire time. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will 100% be rebooking with her again in the future. Highly recommend Breana to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!
Lilia was amazing with our rescue pup, Berkley! She is super calm and kind - we could tell our Berkley already felt comfortable around her the first time she met her! She sent us many photos throughout the weekend. She was very communicative and professional. We would recommend her to any friend or family member!
Karen did a great job housesitting over two nights for us! We had peace of mind knowing Beefy was getting all the care and attention she needed with updates and photos. Karen left the house nice and tidy and was very responsive while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
This was our first time using Rover and our first time working with Christina, and as people who are new to town without a pet-sitting network yet, we were understandably a little nervous leaving our home and animals with someone new—especially for a 10-day international trip. We could not have been luckier to find Christina. From the start, she was kind, friendly, professional, and incredibly reassuring. She cared for our crew as if they were her own: two border collies (one very outgoing BC who demands constant attention and one shy, anxious BC who prefers to be hand-fed) plus a nocturnal, vocal cat. She handled every personality with patience, understanding, and genuine care. Christina communicated consistently and thoroughly, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Because of her, we felt confident leaving for such a long trip—and we returned to happy, well-cared-for pets. Not only has Christina become our trusted pet sitter, she has truly become a treasured new friend. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional care, professionalism, and kindness.
Kylee stayed in my apartment over the weekend and was absolutely amazing with a dog who cant be around kids or other dogs. Extremely response, overall super nice person. I came home and my freaking bed was made and the dishes were done!!!!! I mean come on, I dont think my dog was the one that did those things. This is someone you want with your dog.
I’ve already left one review for Ellie but have to leave another one as she’s become my go to sitter for Pax! I’m comfortable w her in my house and w my baby. Super easy to communicate with, always respectful of my space: I no longer have anxiety when I leave town and that’s such a nice change.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was our second time booking Jonathan, and Dalek immediately recognized him and was so happy to spend time with him while we were away. It says a lot when your dog is excited to see his sitter! Jonathan is calm, dependable, and clearly great with Dalek. We’re very grateful to have found someone we trust.
Isabela was great with our two dogs. We booked her for house sitting while we were away on vacation and our dogs were well taken care of. She stayed with them for long periods of time, not just quick check ins and we really appreciated that. She was also great with communication! Would definitely recommend her and plan to book her next time!
