“Ty was very responsive to our requests for updates and the dogs seemed loved and well cared for. Our fish died while we were gone and Ty helped take it out and dispose of it. The house was clean and as we left it upon our return”
“Grant and Yunrui took great care of our dog, Ellie, for a full week at our house. We appreciated that they did a meet and greet ahead of time so we could make sure it was a good fit. They sent pictures and an update every night and Ellie seemed very happy when we got back. Thank you!”
“Will took amazing care of our pup, Finley, over the holiday weekend and made the entire experience completely stress-free. He was communicative, flexible, attentive, and clearly genuine in the way he cared for Finley, treating him with so much love and patience. We really appreciated the consistent updates and coming home to both a happy dog and a clean house. Will went above and beyond in every way, and we would gladly trust him again for any future sitting needs. Thank you once again, Will!”
“Deborah has taken care if my two Springers a few times. She takes wonderful care if them, and sends me updates and pictures frequently during the stay. I always come home to very happy dogs!”
“Melissa was great and Rocky loved her! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous but Melissa eased my mind. Not being used to “strangers” staying with him, Rocky had some separation anxiety. Melissa was very straightforward about it and kept me updated the whole time. I made some suggestions and she tried them all. I would love to have Melissa stay with Rocky again if she’s interested.”
“Winnie is such a sweet person and loved my dogs. I will use her again and because I am going to be selfish and not want her to be to busy to watch my dogs.... she is wonderful.”
“Deloris did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of Holly! From the start, communication was great, and we felt completely at ease leaving Holly (and our home) in her care. She kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.”
“Vanessa is the best! I’ve lost track of how many times she’s watched our dogs at this point. We love the pictures & updates she sends and she truly makes it stress-free when we have to leave our dogs at home. Our newfs are so happy and definitely love her too!”
“Andrea was extremely friendly and accommodating as a first time Rover user, and she took great care of my 3 cats. She was awesome with communication throughout the time she was house sitting, and sent me pictures/updates regularly. I’ll definitely be asking her to watch the boys again soon!”
“Cathy is reliable and communicates well. She is also accommodating. I had a last minute change of plans and needed her to dog sit for one extra night. She was flexible and agreed to extend her time.”
“Shaun did an amazing job! He followed all of our directions, kept us updated, and took great care of Lex while we were away. Lex was very happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we got home. We really appreciated the attention and care he gave our dog and home. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
About: I love to take care cats and dogs I take great pride in making sure they are well taken care of. Also if there are certain routines for your pet that to be followed I can handle it because once I’ve learned the routine I can stick with it when ever I take care of your pet for you. I also have some training in animal first aid because it was required for the Petcare company. I also have a really big problem with taking care of dogs thar will bite you because I’ve beaten by two dogs in the past two years by two completely different dogs. Also I know how to take care of cats as well such as cleaning the litter and feeding them their food. I’ve worked as a pet sitter for two years. Taking care of pet seems to be what I’m best good at because I really love and care about animals. When I’m not working at the daycare where I take care of school age kids and on the weekends I’m usually free all day long Make sure that they’re fed and played with and make sure they’re with me at all times and even sit with them to make them comfortable
About: Hello, my name is Chase, I am a very active dog lover. I have 2 dogs of my own, one German Shepard & one Lab Mix. I love to play with my dogs every day and they take walks every day as well. I like to be outdoors a lot and can take a short walk or a long walk, whatever the preference the client may want. I work full time but am always off by noon so my schedule is always flexible. I like to keep busy, and what better way then to do so by caring for pets! I hope to be your choice for pet care. Schedule: I have a flexible schedule and can be available after 1pm almost every day for dog walking. Stays: I can be available before and after work to tend to your animal! I currently work full-time. But am always flexible to care for pets any time after 1PM. Whether it be a short or long walk, or a stay over job, I am flexible in these areas. I have a fenced in yard at my house and my dogs also free roam in our front yard and are trained to stay in our front yard. I have watched many dogs in the past and always treat dogs as if they are my own.
“Zamiya was absolutely outstanding, very communicative and took wonderful care of my fur baby. I will definitely book with her again!!! I never had to wonder how my baby was doing because she kept me updated with pics and videos which I loved because I didn't have to reach out to see how he was doing. I already knew!!”
“Ben and Emily were great, and I definitely recommend them! I had them house sitting two dogs. They gave daily photos and updates on how the dogs were doing, and they asked questions to ensure that the care of my dogs was perfect. They took the dogs on so many long walks, and my dogs are still wiped out (thank you!). They also kept my apartment really clean and were very respectful in how they treated my space.”
“Meghan was an awesome sitter! She took such great care of our dog, cat, and house! She left the house spotless and communicated with us throughout our trip. Would highly recommend her!”
“Angelica did a fabulous job watching my Aussidoddle and my Sheltie. Would highly recommend her for house sitting She watched my babies for a week while we were on vacation and sent us a bunch of pictures.”
About: I'm a recent college graduate looking to help out local families over the summer, and I would be honored to help you look after your pet! I graduated this May, 2026 with a bachelors degree in biology with a focus on animal behavior. My Professional experience includes two and a half years working at Olde Towne Pet Resort in Springfield VA, where I handled, cared for, and made sure that up to over a hundred dogs with the help of my coworkers, and up to 40 cats. While I worked at Olde Towne Pet Resort over my breaks, I was a weekly volunteer at the Virginia Living Museum in Newport News, VA during the semesters. There, I worked with their bird and mammal team in a zoo setting to prepare diets, feed, and clean the enclosures of zoo animals in their care. I love animal behavior, and want to work in a zoo or as a professional dog trainer in the future! In less professional experience, I have grown up with cats, dogs, and even exotic animals like bearded dragons and sugar gliders. I have personally owned and cared for a reactive German Shepherd, so I'm no stranger to loving and caring after what some may call "difficult" dogs. I'm happy to talk about my experience further and will answer any questions you may have, I'm looking forward to helping care for your furry friend! I am a recent graduate currently working to find a long-term job, so for now I have full availability! If for some reason I am not available for some dates, I will reflect that change on my availability. But, I anticipate very few days where I am unavailable. If entering your home for a service, I will leave it in same or better condition then when I entered. Nothing will be touched or used that isn't specified as okay to use by the owner. Any backyards will be checked for open gates before dogs are loose! I am capable of following complicated diet and care instructions, and I am happy to give your pet as much love as they want.

Excellent dog and house sitter. Pets were calm and well cared for while we were away. Erin communicated with us several times a day and kept us updated on their daily activities. She has a great deal of experience working with pets and catered to their individual needs.
We will always have Xiomara watch our dog and cat as long as she’s available, she is incredible. She sends constant updates, pictures, videos, and my dog LOVES her. So does our cat. She is such a wonderful person and she leaves our place sparkling clean. Having peace of mind about our precious animals makes traveling a thousand times more enjoyable. Thank you so much Xiomara ❤️
Tiana is the ultimate professional. I almost had to cancel the booking due to unforeseen circumstances. She handled it with understanding, grace, and patience. I’m glad I was able to make alternate plans and keep my booking with her. She was early to everything related to the booking which shows how serious she takes her job. I made a short notice decision to come home early and Tiana responded and adjusted well to that also. She made sure the puppies were taken care of and everything in the house was in order so I can just go straight to bed.
I was really pleased with Ty and Charlie. Their setup worked extremely well for our very Velcro-needy guy. I was initially a little hesitant about having two people watching him, simply because we’d never had a couple before, but if you’re on the fence like I was, don’t pass them up — it worked perfectly for us. They arrived on time for both the meet-and-greet and the sitting job, and they checked in to confirm the times I had listed before coming and when they were scheduled to leave. Our guy is very routine-oriented, and they followed my detailed instructions (yes, I’m that parent!) to a tee — including giving his meds on time, which was huge for us since some past sitters have struggled with that. I truly couldn’t have asked for better sitters; they’re probably my favorite so far. I’ll absolutely continue to use them and am already working to see if they’re available to sit for us again. I would definitely recommend them to others. Thank you both so much for taking such great care of him!
Kelly watched our older dog and cat while we were gone for a week. We came home to two happy and healthy fur balls! As always, Kelly was super communicative the entire time and sent a ton of adorable pictures of them. They love her! Highly recommend booking with her, she leaves you with some happy fur babies! The house was exactly as we left it, she is also extremely respectful of your home and property. She is our go to Rover!
Caitlin did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of Holly! From the start, communication was great, and we felt completely at ease leaving Holly (and our home) in her care. She kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.
John Paul did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of our fur babies and ensuring our house was still standing during our time away. He was very attentive to our pets needs, followed every instruction, and sent us frequent photos of our fur kids to let us know how well everything was going! We cannot wait to ask for his assistance again in the future, and we know our little guys will be super excited to have him back anytime!
