“This was my first experience with Rover. Brian came over to meet our dog and make sure it was a good fit before we decided to use him. Brian sent pics and left our house in perfect condition. I highly recommend Brian!”
“Shantalee was great! We reached out at the last minute and she was very understanding. She took great care of our 3 dogs and was very communicative. She kept them happy and comfortable. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“We are so thrilled to have Evelyn sit with Smily while we were away. Evelyn ensured that we were well informed of the goings on with our dog and home, and even went above and beyond (the house was cleaner than we left it, I'm sure. We could tell that Smily was happy and loved! We highly recommend, and look forward to booking again.”
“Heidi was great. She sent us several cute photos, checked in with us about changing schedules, and seemed to care for our pupper like he was her own cannot ask for more than that!”
“Anna was an excellent house sitter to our nervous greyhound and cat. She sent daily updates at least and took booker for the walks he needed. She went above and beyond keeping our house in order. We spent the vacation knowing our pets were cared for and came back to clean house. Highly recommend (unless we need her ;-) )”
About: I grew up always having a dog. I know how special they can be and the attention they deserve. I'm always happy to help pups get the best care possible. I have many free days to devote to pets. I am available on short notice and always happy to help out to make things easier on your animals. I have experience with dogs that roam the house as well as crate training. I also know how to handle an invisible fence versus a solid one as well as leads.
“Alannah was great with Cornelius! She was prompt in her response on availability and coming to meet us. She projects a calm and natural energy with dogs! Cornelius loved her and so did we and we will not hesitate to book her again!!💕”
“Charlotte was great with our dog, Mara, who can be timid around new people. She was willing to come out and meet her the week before sitting at our place and was very easy to communicate with. We will definitely look to rebook in the future!”
About: I don’t have specific set of skills other than the fact that I am a dog mom. My dogs are my world and my main priority. I have a lot of love to give and I think animals deserve it the most. I’m currently unemployed as I recently left my job as it just wasn’t the right fit any longer. I will make myself available to be with your pet as much as needed and wanted by the client. I’m 44 years old with an older son who is 28. So for people my age who normally have small children I have my 2 dogs and my 2 cats. They are my children My animals are always considered in any and all plans that I may have. They are my top priority and your animal would be no different. I am a nurturer by nature. When I was in need of dog sitter Rover provided me with someone who took care of and loved my dogs just as much as I did. It motivated me to want to be that person for other people. I will love and spoil your animal as if they were my own. Allowing you to leave them knowing they are being well taken care of. I have a fully fenced in yard and I would make any special arrangements as far as feeding, crating etc that would be needed for your animal.
“I had such a great experience with Joe! He kept me up to date with how my dog was doing while I was away. He reached out with any questions or concerns that came up. He put my mind at ease knowing my dog would be in good hands while I was gone. Definitely will be booking him again in the future!”
About: Ever since I was four years old I had my first puppy. I loved her with everything I had, I believe that love me and my family gave her made her have such a long life. She was a Pomeranian and chiwawa mix, she was said to live till 6 she lived till 15. I have also rescued each of my pets so I understand how to handle and gain trust from anxiety and scared dogs. I also have experience with puppies so I expect to have to clean messes and I am fine with that. I am 100% a dog person. I want dogs to be living their best lives and give them as much love as they give us. I handle stressful and intense situations well, I am good under pressure. I love all dogs little chiwawas to huge great danes, no pup phases me. I am also felxible! I currently work from home which makes dog care easily in my schedule. I have a dog in my apartment named Elton and I go by his schedule. We go on both a walk and to the park everyday. In home I like to keep my dog busy with toys and running around. When he needs outside time I will bring him on walks or to the park. I know of both a park with no dogs for those who prefer alone time and parks with kind dogs for those who like to play.
“Daniel is always great with Luna and I appreciate all the updates given throughout the day even when he was not feeling very well. Thanks again!!”
About: I love each and every dog I’ve ever met. They are all so sweet and unique. Nothing beats making a pup feel super special - because they are! Frequent walks, belly rubs, ear scratches - whatever it takes to keep that tail wagging! I work 9-5 M-F, 15 minutes from home. I can WFH whenever needed. My weekend schedule is low key, as I am usually doing chores around the house or running local errands. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I do have a lead for the back yard for play time. I live in a quiet (no outlet) neighborhood that is super dog friendly. The house has plenty of space and is equipped with multiple puppy cams.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals every since I was 10. I hope to meet your cute furry friend soon because I know their pawfect! I’m currently available Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. I will always have plenty of time for furry friends! If needed I will try to extend my days! I have a fenced yard where your pup can run around and go potty in. I also have two dogs that your pup can play with. I also have many crates that can be used if needed!
“Cayden was great with my puppy! I was nervous to leave her overnight because she’s only about 3 months old but Cayden kept me updated the whole time and everything went super smooth! Great experience.”
About: I’ve been around pets since I was born and am great with all animals. I love to take care of them and take them on walks and my friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs when they were busy at school My schedule is different each week but I am great at managing my time and have many days where I can take care of any pet or fit in a walk on my busier days. I have a huge yard, pet friendly home, a dog pen, and will walk your dog everyday. I will make sure they get lots of love, food when needed, and follow any guidelines in your house
“Caitlyn was amazing with our two cats and dog! She was super communicative on sending updates and pictures of how the pets were doing and was so easy to work with! We had her drop-in twice a day and she was really thorough with feeding, taking care of the litter box, and snuggling with them all during each visit. Our dog needs daily medication and one cat needed ointment on her paws and she expertly handled all their needs. Our cat’s paws are better already because of Caitlyn’s care and attention. We absolutely will hire Caitlyn again and would highly recommend her to the Rover community!”

She’s always been incredibly responsible, communicative, and attentive to my dogs’ needs — whether it’s sticking to their routines, giving medications, or just making sure they get lots of love and attention. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re in her care. She genuinely loves animals, and it shows in everything she does. I wholeheartedly trust her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog sitter!”

“John is incredible with pets, especially dogs. My cockapoo is ALWAYS extra excited to see him and has spent numerous hours being watched by John. There is no doubt in my mind that any dog he takes care of will be treated extremely well, have a fun time, and leave happy. Highly recommend John to walk and/or watch your pet!!”

“Jayden is such a great pet caregiver! I work as a teacher and I am gone for a majority of the day, but I always felt good because I knew that my dog, Ollie, was in great hands. She would take him on long walks, making sure he gets plenty of exercise. She would always give him water and treats and lots of belly rubs. Ollie loves seeing Jayden and he always greets her with a smile! I have no doubt in my mind that Jayden is a great fit for Rover and will deliver the very best love and care for all pets.”
