“Johanna was truly exceptional. Her prompt communication, commitment to caring for our dog and ensuring he had all of his needs met, and respect for our space was astounding. When we got home, my jaw dropped when I realized the lengths she had gone to leave our home cleaner than we found it. We have always felt like having in-home dog care meant sacrificing some of the ways we like to care for our home. Often coming home to broken items, stains, and a mess to clean up. Johanna clearly went above and beyond any and all expectations. We feel so lucky to have found her! We will absolutely be hiring her next time we need care.”

“Sarma was so responsive and thorough in reading and following my detailed instructions. This was my first time having a Rover sitter stay at my place to pet sit while I was away for the weekend and Sarma brought me so much peace of mind. She sent daily photos and left detailed notes about how the dogs and cat did throughout the day. My Australian cattle dog is a force to be reckoned with but Sarma kept her busy and managed walking her (along with my other little pup) with ease. I’m so happy to have met her and feel so grateful knowing that I can book her for services in the future! Managing 3 animals is not easy but she can definitely handle the challenge!!”

“Lauren was communicative, professional, and took good care of my cat while I was away! Miso's needs were well attended to and I came back to a clean home. Would highly recommend and definitely book again in the future!”

“Coleen was caring, professional, and fast to respond. Our dogs absolutely adore her and were sad to see her leave. She easily managed 3 large dogs without issue. We had Coleen in-house sit them overnight for our big day and can't recommend her enough!”

“Aleia took great care of our fur baby. She was responsive to our texts, sent updates, and we came back to a clean house. Would recommend Aleia for house sitting and caring for your pets.”

“Kayla is simply the best! She spent the day with my puppy after she had been spayed and took great care to ensure she stayed quiet, got her meds on time, and was entertained. She was patient with her puppy antics and provided me with lots of updates. I will be recommending Kayla to anyone needing pet care in our neighborhood!”

“Elijah was very communicative and kind regarding our two dogs who are not the most low maintenance pair. She asked a lot of questions during our meet and greet that showed how seriously she takes this job and left our home and our pets in great condition, we would highly recommend her!”

“Doris was wonderful! I’m so glad she was able to take care of my girls last minute. I got updates on all of my girls throughout the day. I’m so appreciative for her not only taking us on last minute but also while one of my girls is trying to recover from an upset stomach and requires a little more TLC. She’s one of the first sitters I’ve used using Rover, & the first time my pets were taken care of by someone other than friends and family and it was a great experience for us. I will definitely be reaching out to Doris again when I need a pet sitter.”


“Jenna is great! She was very responsive and our dog loved her. When we got home, it was obvious that he has been well taken care of and enjoyed his time with Jenna. Would very highly recommend!”

“Carla is wonderful! My husband and I both had last minute work trips come up at the same exact time, and Carla was available to watch our two dogs on short notice. She stayed in our home to watch over them since they are both older, and they couldn't have been in better hands. She was diligent, made sure we had care instructions, and sent photos and updates for us through her whole time watching them. My flight was delayed due to weather, and she even stayed a few hours extra to make sure they were taken out and comfortable until I could get home. She was even willing to come back in the evening to give them dinner and take them out again if my flight had gotten delayed even more. She is so sweet, and she left our home in immaculate condition. We will absolutely be reaching out to Carla to take care of our boys again!”


“Katelyn was wonderful! She took excellent care of my pup, sent me regular updates and photos, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house that was left in great condition. She was reliable, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her!”

“Tanisa was wonderful! Checked in often with the best pictures of our pups. They were happy and content with her! We enjoyed our weekend away knowing they were in good hands!”

“Jillian was great! She house sat for our dog and cat while we were out of town for about a week. Quick to text us back when we had questions. Came home to a clean house and happy pets. Will definitely be booking with her in the future! Thanks Jillian!”


About: I’m a cat parent to two very sweet, rambunctious long hair kitties and grew up with both dogs and cats. Both of my cats are medication dependent so I’m very comfortable with animals who need a little extra care. I also regularly care for my friends’ and neighbors’ pets. I’m a freelance illustrator with a very flexible schedule so I’m available to work around each pet’s unique needs and schedule. My goal is to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible without disruptions to what they are used to when you’re home. I am available for drop ins as well as staying at your home and will adhere to your pet’s schedule for meals, walks, play, and potty breaks.

If I could give Zoia more stars I would!! She has been amazing!!!! Her helpful responses have gone above and beyond. She sends pictures of my daughter's cats all the time. Our family just can't thank her enough for all she has done during a stressful time in our lives! Katherine Romanoff

Dorion saved us on the way to vacation when another sitter canceled that same morning. He was available and he took care of Teddy and Miss Kittay in a very loving manner. He spent the night at our house and nothing was out of place. The dog and cat were happy to see us when we got home and all is well thank you Dorion

Wafae took such good care of our kitty while we were gone. She was communicative and thoughtful, and even made an extra effort to stay the night with our cat to make sure she could do the last feeding before we got home. We will definitely book her again and would recommend!

Lauren was great to work with. She stayed with our two pit mixes for 4 nights at our house while we were off getting married. They can be anxious and the one barks a lot in fear and she handled it so well. Getting them out for walks as reactive dogs can be tough. But again she worked her magic. House was clean and left in great shape as well. She gave us daily updates of our goofballs which made this so easy. Thank you Lauren!

Here is the final revised version connecting the medicine and weather sensitivity to the same dog: > Mason was an absolute star watching our two dogs for eight days! Since this was our first time working with him, he came over beforehand for a meet and greet to introduce himself and get to know the dogs, which immediately put us at ease. Communication throughout our trip was fantastic—he sent just the right amount of photos, videos, and check-ins to give us complete peace of mind without overwhelming us. He seamlessly handled giving medicine to our dog who is also very nervous around bad weather, showing so much patience and care by keeping her comfortable and still getting her out on walks despite her fears. When we returned, both dogs were relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. On top of that, he took wonderful care of our home and even watered our outdoor plants. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would recommend him in a heartbeat!
