“We absolutely adore Konnie! She is very communicative and sends updates that let us know our fur babies are happy and safe! She is a great house guest as well, leaving everything better than we left it! :) we highly recommend her!”
“10/10 recommend!! Marisa stayed with our dog while we were on vacation and she stayed in contact every day! We came home to our house exactly as we left it. I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Zoey was wonderful, both my cats warmed right up to her even my shy boy! She was super communicative and did a great job with my cats I will definitely rebook with her and would absolutely recommend her as a sitter!”
“We highly recommend Owen as a sitter. This was our first time using the app and he was super easy to work with, responded quickly to messages, and took great care of our puppy! He kept us updated and sent photos. Our puppy had a great time!”
“Sarah was so detail oriented with our dogs and took plenty of time to understand their unique qualities and quirks so she could be best prepared for house/dog sitting. This was a longer time away (9 days). While we were gone, she did a great job providing peace of mind and the right amount of updates and videos of our babies. Sarah was able to manage a situation that came up with the house which occurred while we were away. We were reflecting on other dog sitters that we’ve used in the past and Sarah is far more dedicated and committed to the well being and care of our dogs than any other sitter we have had.”
“Audrey was truly amazing! She cared for my dog like her own, sent continuous pictures and updates so I knew he was safe and happy, and was such a pleasure! Highly recommend!! 10/10!!!!”
“We did not know Tara before our trip, and I was a little nervous about leaving our pets with someone new. But I didn’t need to be. She did a wonderful job taking care of our beloved dog, and our bunny, and kept us updated on how they were doing, as we had asked - which allowed me to relax and have a nice time away. I highly recommend her!”
“I booked Lori on short notice and so glad I did. She was super attentive to my dog and cat, communicated well with me throughout my travel, and paid careful attention to making them comfortable with her. Already have her booked for my next trip!”
About: I have loved dogs ever since I was a toddler. I have been a dog sitter for multiple families and I look forward to their vacations every year! I am a college student living at home, so I have plenty of availability, meaning I could stop over multiple times throughout the day if needed! I will walk, feed and play with your dogs as an individualized plan is made up. Every dog has different needs and I’m willing to adjust to their schedule! My job is to let you know that your dog is getting the best treatment possible.
“Frank was great, and took wonderful care of our dog Luke. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter. We will be using Frank for all of our future sitting needs.”
“Michelle watched our babies during our wedding weekend! She was amazing and we were able to relax and really enjoy our wedding without worrying about our babies. We also have a dog with reactive issues and she was great with her. We highly recommend Michelle and our dogs love her!”
“Sauddi was absolutely amazing! It took no time at all for my 2 dogs to warm up to her. She is loving, kind and knows how to provide an exciting time for the dogs. She provided pictures and updates daily. She took excellent care of the house. We will certainly use her again. Highly recommend Sauddi.”
“I can’t say enough about how great Patience was with the dogs! I’m sure they felt they were on their own vacation! We have dog with medication needs and she was totally on top of it! Sent pictures and video updates! I think the dogs only complaint is that she left when it was over!”
“Randy is wonderful! My dog was happy and my house was clean! You can’t ask for anymore than that. I don’t want to rave about him because then he will get too busy to sit for me ! Finley and I like Randy a lot!!”
“Shayna had great communication. She sent pictures of my baby as requested. She was very kind and respectful of the house. I could tell that my pup was comfortable in her care. Would definitely book again.”
“What an absolute pleasure it was to have our dogs loved and cared for while we traveled. Breyeanna gave us frequent updates and sent wonderful photos. Our dogs are not friendly with strangers and Breyeanna became family to them. We were thrilled with the outcome. Thank you so much for caring for our dogs.”
“Erin was fabulous with my 2 cats. She tooks lots of pictures of them to share with me. I could see that my boys were very happy and in great hands with Erin. I will definitely be reaching out to Erin again.”
About: My name is Holly. I am an animal lover! I grew up on a farm, so I am familiar with care of many types of animals. I have never not had a dog in my life. I have a flexible schedue, own my own home, work remotely full-time , and am very dependable. When house sitting, i do prefer stays less than 4 days, but willing to consider longer stays. I'm looking forward to meeting and caring for your furry loved ones! Why I love dog sitting I have had at least 1 dog my whole life. I've had breeds ranging from Chihuahuas, to Boxers, to Bull Terriers. Dogs are a blessing and I love having them in my life. I will administer pills and liquid drops, but not shots. I work remotely, so I am fully available to your pet. No children or anyone else in the house, so if your dog or cat needs a relaxing stay, I can provide that.
About: I have had dogs my entire life. Over the past 15 years I've become quite fond of special needs and rescue pups. I have 3 awesome dogs and a cat that have chosen us to be there family. I know how terrifying it can be to leave your fur babies with a sitter but I can promise they will be happy and comfortable with me. So if you're like my family and need someone you can trust with your pets we are here to help. We do have 3 kiddos that love the animals too. We are all very pet friendly and we all work together to take care of our fur friends and make sure they are happy and feel loved all the time!

Sauddi was absolutely amazing! It took no time at all for my 2 dogs to warm up to her. She is loving, kind and knows how to provide an exciting time for the dogs. She provided pictures and updates daily. She took excellent care of the house. We will certainly use her again. Highly recommend Sauddi.
Liz was fantastic - this was my first time using the Rover app and I wasn't completely comfortable with the thought of a person with my 2 dogs and in my home, but Liz made me feel more comfortable right away. She came for a get-to-know visit and asked all the right questions. She stayed and chatted and told me more about herself. While I was gone, she sent photos, asked questions when she needed to, and gave timely updates on how the dogs were. She took special precautions with my old man, Gus. Not only did she provided exactly the level of care I hoped, but I could tell she genuinely loves animals, which meant she cared about my dogs and wanted their time without me to be as stress free and calm as it could be. I would ask Liz to take care of my dogs (2 German Wirehair Pointers, 60 pounds each) again in the future and know that they were in great hands - which allows me to enjoy my vacation more because I know things at home are completely taken care of and someone who loves my dogs is there to keep them safe and give them love while I'm gone. Overall - a great experience. :-)
