“As always, my boys and my house were confidently in the best of hands with Mallory. Both my dog and my cat absolutely love Mallory and my house is always under exceptional care. Seriously couldn’t recommend a better sitter.”

“Oli helped us out on really short notice and took fantastic care of our pup. It was such a relief to know our girl was getting love and attention while we were away. Thank you, Oli!”

About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.
“Erica is just wonderful with our two fur babies. She keeps us updated with pictures and comments. She makes sure they get exercise and mental stimulation. We could not ask for a better dog sitter!”

“Nina did a fantastic job dog sitting for Gertie and Gussie! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. Both dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. We highly recommend!”

“Haley was simply awesome!!! Great communication throughout the week she house sat for us, with plenty of pics of how our animals were doing. Came home to a home that was clean and dogs happy. Would highly reccomend and would use Haley again!!”

“Kyle was amazing as always! My cats always love having them around, even my shy one. All of the various medication administration is handled well. My place is always left clean and well kept. Kyle is also super nice and responsive and sends lots of photos!”

“Rose is the best housesitter we've ever used from Rover! Responsible and great with communication! We had a small house/car emergency while she was housesitting, and she handled it perfectly. We will definitely be using her again.”

“First time having someone watch my dog, I felt very comfortable with Ashley! Gave me a sense of relief with daily photos and updates. 10/10. Thank you!”

“Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!”

“Nora was a fantastic pet sitter for my dog. She was very considerate and attentive to learning all the details about my dog. I would gladly have her back again and felt so comfortable with her staying at my home.”

“Kylie was great! Super communicative and quick to respond. We were nervous to use a service as our pup had only spent time with family previously, but Kylie did a stellar job easing our minds and offering care to both our home and pup while we were away. 10/10 would use again!”

“Little late leaving a review because life but Amaya was great! The dogs had a great time and we got lots of pictures, vids and updates! Extra impressive because our senior needs a lot of extra care and he was great when we returned from vacation!”


“Larry and I LOVE Emily!!!! I have booked a few times and she has taken such great care of Larry. Most recently I was over seas and Larry needed treatment at the vet. No questions asked, she sprung into gear to get him the best treatment possible. She is Larry's and my life saver.”

“Abbey took great care of our 9 month old Great Dane (Isla) for 3 nights while we went away. This was the first time that we left our pup overnight and I was nervous to leave her, but it was such a relief to have Abbey watching her. Abbey sent pics and updates throughout the weekend so we were not stressed about Isla and knew she was getting lots of attention, play, and snuggles. I felt like Abbey was very considerate in that she stuck with Isla’s routine and also spent a lot of time with her (which meant a lot especially considering this is the first time we left her). We came home to a happy and healthy puppy so could not have asked for more! On top of that, Abbey clearly took good care of our house when staying there because it was left in excellent shape and looked exactly as it did when we left town. We are SO appreciate of Abbey and the peace of mind she gave us knowing that our dog was being cared for so well while we were gone.”

“Samantha was great with watching my high energy puppy on pretty short notice and coordinating with another sitter pickup while I was out of town! I appreciated that she sent me lots of updates and pictures of Penny. Definitely recommend!”

“Hana was an excellent sitter! She is very easy going and my pup instantly connected with her. She also communicated very well when I did a check-in! I will definitely be using her services again!”

Powhite Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nina was a dream! We booked last minute as our planned sitter fell through. She was very quick to respond and we got to meet with her ahead of time to introduce the dogs and give her instructions. She sent photos keeping us updated throughout the course of her stay, and our two dogs loved her! Thank you again, Nina! We highly recommend and will rebook if the occasion arises :)

Alex was amazing - very professional! He was very attentive to our wishes and instructions, excellent communicator, punctual and all the things you would expect from hiring a pro. The house was left clean and he genuinely seems to care for our pets and enjoy their company. Got photos every day and followed our complicated medication schedule. The dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned! We HIGHLY recommend!

Sarah is a dog whisperer! She totally calmed our 8 month old bernedoodle puppy and took such good care of him, including lots of playtime and walks. She also took great care of our house as well. She's awesome and we look forward to her taking care of Ernie again!

Julia was fantastic! Mogs and Amy were so comfortable with her. I think they are actually still looking for her ☺️ I am so glad she was available and understood the dogs story. I would highly recommend Julia and hope I can book her services again in the future.

Lupe is amazing! This was my first time using Rover so naturally I was a little nervous. Lupe came over to meet Bailey before house-sitting and Bailey instantly took to her. Lupe kept me updated on how Bailey was doing, also sending pictures. It was a pleasant surprise to come home and find my house cleaner then when I left it! If you are thinking about using River, I highly recommend Lupe. She went above and beyond!

Joy was amazing!! She stayed with our dog for 7 days. Our dog can be a lot to handle and she did it perfectly. I received an update and cute photo each day. She was very tidy, organized, and most of all- trustworthy! The list of compliments to give her is endless. Forrest is a very active dog with some anxiety. He usually doesn’t do well on a leash, but Joy was able to walk him with some slack on the leash. That’s a huge milestone for our dog. I know he loved every minute of it. While Forrest was very excited to see me, he kept checking to see if Joy was coming back. He definitely misses her. Joy will always be the first person I reach out to when we need someone to take care of Forrest!

All I can say is WOW! Allie and Nicholas went above and beyond for my two frenchies! One being a 7 month old who is a wild child and got stung by a wasp and Allie quickly took her up to the vet after she noticed symptoms of an allergic reaction. I was incredibly thankful for her paying such close attention to my babies. I have to say I have found my pet sitter from here on out! They are so nice and very meticulous on doing everything exactly the way you want them to! If you use them as your sitter you will not regret it! My mind was completely at ease while I was away. 🥰

Kayce did a fantastic job house sitting my fur babies! Even Peaches our usually skeptical cat warmed right up to her. Kayce’s communication with me was wonderful and kept me at ease knowing things at home were going great while I was away! Thank you Kayce!
