“Angela was so very warm, welcoming, and kind to our puppy. Minnie took to her right away, and because of the meet and greet, she knew exactly where we were going when we dropped her off. Angela was very thorough, asking all the important questions, and she even let my daughter visit to say hi to Minnie.”

“Appreciate Lucy and Daniel so much, they did a wonderful job with our pup. Provided updates and were very communicative throughout booking and the stay, would absolutely trust them to watch our boy anytime.”


“Wonderful experience! This was my first time using a sitter through rover and Thomas and Melissa were so caring. They sent daily pictures and were absolute wonderful. Will definitely book again for any future stays!”


“I am not sure if I should feel good or bad about the fact that when I picked up my dog he was more interested in following Jenna back inside her house instead of wanting to hop into the car with me. Obviously, he had a very enjoyable time with her.”

“Sandra was great! Our dog, Ted, was excited to spend time with her, and it was clear he felt comfortable and happy in her care. We really appreciated her kindness, reliability, and the attention she gave him. Highly recommend!”

“Donna is so awesome! Loved that we received pictures and updates about of our baby during her stay. Donna is very attentive and shows lots of love and care for the fur babies!!!”

“Ciarra was absolutely wonderful! She is the first dogsitter I have ever had which made me super skeptical, but when we had our meet & greet my dog Lily and her sweet Toby got along so well! She sent me pictures the entire time and kept telling me how well behaved Lily was! I am already using her again in a couple weeks and you definitely should too, 10/10 recommend! And she gave us a bag with sweet toys and cute polaroid pictures! Best experience!”

“Kiki is AWESOME! Our dog is on the older side and has some issues with allergies that, upon meeting for the first time, Kiki immediately noticed. I took that as a sign of empathy and caring, and felt I felt very confident leaving our dog, Rock, with her. Upon returning home, Rocky was happy, well-feed, and cared for. We HIGHLY recommend Kiki for dog sitting!!”


“So happy that we were able to find Ashley on such short notice. She took very good care of our Leo. She made sure to send regular updates and some adorable pictures of our dog enjoying himself. Thanks again, and I look forward to booking with you in the future”

“Dana was great. She watched emelia on last-minute notice and provided great care throughout emelia’s stay. She communicated with me throughout the weekend. Highly recommend!”

“Our dog Windsor has stayed with Paul & Christine 2 times now. Both times they took amazing care of him and he comes home like he had a great time. They send cute pictures of him everyday, and make sure he eats and sleeps well. They were also very understanding when we had a flight cancellation and couldn’t pick him up until much later in the day. We greatly appreciated the patience during a stressful travel time.”

“Candice was great with our Bo. She sent loads of pictures (which we loved) and kept us up to date on feeding/sleeping schedules. We especially appreciated her flexibility on the pick up time. Thank you!!”

“Very smooth experience and great stay! They were very kind to our older beagle and he got along well with their dog so everyone was happy. We appreciate it!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for 3 dogs, 2 cats, birds, lizards, hermit crabs, fish, and rabbits. Taking care of pets has always come naturally to me. Since I was around 10 years old, I’ve helped walk my neighbors’ dogs and puppies, as well as pet sit their dogs and cats while they were away on vacation. I’m very patient, attentive, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of the family. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, check-ins, and lots of attention. My 5-month-old daughter and I spend a lot of time at home, so I’m able to provide consistent care, companionship, and updates for pet owners. I enjoy having animals as part of our daily routine and make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. In my home, pets are treated like family and are welcome on the furniture for comfort and companionship. I create a calm, loving environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed while away from their owners. My cats have access to food and water throughout the day, with their setup safely placed out of reach from dogs when needed. I do not crate animals unless specifically requested by the owner, as I prefer pets to feel comfortable and free in the home. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level to make sure they receive individualized care, attention, and plenty of love.
“Anissa has been absolutely amazing with everything - from professional communication to superb care for my dog Chupie. She's great with keeping me updated and sending photos, giving us peace of mind that our pup is happy and loved while we are away. Thank you so much Anissa and the rest of the family for being a second home for my Chupie! ❤️❤️❤️”

“I highly recommend Raynell for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! She took exceptional care of my dog while I was away. Her attention to detail and patience made me feel confident that my dog was in good hands. The regular updates and photos She sent me brought me peace of mind, and my dog seemed happy and relaxed upon my return. Raynell truly went above and beyond to ensure my dog's comfort and happiness.”

“Sari did an amazing job with Rusty! From the drop off I could tell she was incredibly attentive to his needs and getting him comfortable in her home. She did an excellent job keeping us updated throughout his stay. If your dog loves long walks, you MUST book Sari. She said over his 4 day stay, she walked him at least 18 miles. He came back happy and relaxed.”

“Jessica took wonderful care of our dog and put our minds at ease! She was very responsive during the trip with communication and was careful with any details. Thank you, Jessica!”

Riva pet parents share their Rover experiences
We were lucky enough to have Julia care for Remmie on two occasions - one full day and one overnight. On both stays Julia provided clear instructions for pickup and drop off as well as regular updates. She even took Remmie to the local park, which meant she came home tired but happy! We would call on Julia again and highly recommend her as a sitter.

Amy is fabulous! She watched our dog for 2 weeks while we were out of the country and we didn’t have to worry about him at all! She sent us lots of pictures, videos, and updates and was very accommodating when we were scheduling his meet and greet and his stay. She has a large fenced in yard and our dog was super happy to be able to play outside so often. She has an awesome room just for the pets to stay in if she has to leave the house and our dog was just as comfortable there as he is at home. Our dog did not even want to get in the car to leave when I picked him up. And she even sent him home with 2 new toys! Definitely recommend and will for sure be using her again next time we need a pet sitter!!!
