“Kianna was so amazing to stay with our furbabies while we went on our trip! She made sure everything was taken care of, and the puppies got more attention then they do while we are home 😅! Will definitely use her again💕💕”


“Candace did a great job watching our dog while we were away for thanksgiving. She walked her every day, kept to the schedule and played with her. Sammy was a happy girl when we got back and we are grateful!”

About: I grew up with dogs since I was about 4! I have a big family with lots of aunts and uncles that rely on me to take care of their dogs while they are gone on trips. I love getting to know pets with all different personalities. I work 8-5 five days a week with rotating days. I go straight back to your home after work and am able to spend the rest of the night with your pets. I have a lunch in the middle of the work day I can check on the pets depending on distance. I am easy to reach outside of sleeping hours and can give any updates needed. I keep a close eye on your pets and keep in touch if anything seems out of the ordinary with them to take the best action.
“Haylie was so sweet and and kind caring for our dog. She kept us connected while we were away by sending pics and updates. She was great at communicating and a pleasure to work with.”

“This is the second time I’ve had Jayd and Ecko watch my dog. They’re so great with him and make sure that he’s comfortable and happy. They’re super great with checking in and responding back quickly.”

“Ashley is absolutely amazing! She's very communicative, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the animals. She also took out my trash and did my dishes and a few other chores, which was a wonderful surprise. Most of all, the dogs were clearly happy and relaxed when I got home. I'll definitely be going with Ashley again!”

“This was the first time we’d left our two frenchies with someone other than my mom so we were nervous to leave them. Lexi was very responsive and professional. She sent us pictures of the dogs throughout our trip and gave us updates on them. She even cleaned the sheets and one of our dogs crate bed when it needed it. Lexi made our trip less stressful knowing we didn’t have to worry about them.”

“Elva was a great house/pet sitter for us! This is the first time we have ever needed one for our 12 year old dog and we couldn't be happier with the service she provided. I appreciated that she was willing to come before we left to meet us and learn our dog's current routines. I came back home to the house still being clean and a happy dog. I will definitely reach out to Elva again for any upcoming trips!”

“Kerry was tremendous from the first point of communication. Was professional, polite, and took great care of our dogs. We have a working breed puppy so I'm not willing to leave them with just anyone, and Kerry went over and above. We will definitely be using Kerry again in the future!”


“Traylor & Jason were so so good with our Tank while we were out of town! Their patience, knowledge, and attention to his extra need for space due to recent changes was absolutely the best. They moved at his pace and ensured his confidence and comfort. Lots of updates and photos helped us too while we were away. We will be calling on them again for sure. Thank y’all SO much for such good care of him!”

“We have never left our pets for this long before so we were a bit nervous beforehand. Everything went great! We returned home to happy, well cared for pets. Thank you!!!!!”

“Bailey was the sweetest thing and we were very grateful she could accommodate us through the weekend. She was very responsive every time we reached out via text and we appreciate her meeting us in advance to introduce the pups to her.”

“Gabby and Tyger were so good to my fur babies while I was gone. Everything was in order when I arrived home and my girls were super excited. Gabby texted me updates throughout the weekend to keep me in the loop since it was her first time sitting for me. Which honestly, put me at ease. Thank you ladies❤️”

“We couldn’t be happier with Zoe’s incredible care for our baby doggie, Caramel, while we were away on a family trip to Hawaii! From the moment we left, we knew Caramel was in the best hands. Zoe treated her like royalty, giving her so much love and snuggles that it almost made us jealous! We especially appreciated the regular updates, complete with photos of Caramel’s adorable antics and health check-ins. It brought us so much peace of mind knowing our sweet girl was happy and thriving while we were away. Zoe went above and beyond in every way, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pet as much as you do, Zoe is the one!”

“Corona took great care of our dog while we were away. She sent lots of pictures and videos of a very happy dog! It made our vacation much more relaxing knowing he was being well-taken of!”

“Our best experience with Rover was when Abby took care of everything. Abby agreed to help us with dogs and everything at our home with very little notice when we needed emergency care and were out of town. It was late at night, with no notice and she was willing and ready. She was so easy going with changes, sent awesome pictures and updates without being asked. She went above and beyond with everything. When she told us, she tucked my dog into bed and kissed his head, my heart melted and I knew without a doubt that she was caring for them as if they were her own. The pups were happy and mellow when we returned. In the past they have seemed anxious and needy for attention and love but with Abby there to love on them, you could tell they received all the love, care and cookies they needed. Everything was perfect and we could not thank her enough. The house looked great the dishwasher was started – she is simply AMAZING! The pups and I look forward to having her help in the future.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We could not have asked for a better person to watch our dogs over Christmas. This was a very last-minute situation for us, and she truly saved the day. She was incredibly attentive, kept our home clean, and clearly cared so much about our dogs. She sent us multiple pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way — she brought treats for them out, clipped Bean’s nails (after getting our permission) at no charge, and even got the dogs a Christmas gift. It was obvious from the start that our dogs were comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. We would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and thoughtful pet sitter.”

About: I have a 10 month old Rottweiler and a 2 year old rescued XL bully. They are my pride and joy! I love walking and training them daily:) I currently work full time but I’d love to walk or hang out with any furry friends that need it. I’m open in the mornings until 12! I have a fenced yard and my dogs are always kenneled when we are not home. When we are home we play, go on walks and train whenever possible!
Riverdale pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had an amazing experience with Emmanuela as our house and dog sitter! She took such great care of all of our fur babies and treated them like they were her own. We received daily updates and photos, which we looked forward to and really helped our kids cope without their favorite pups and cats. She also cleaned our home to make sure it looked better than how we left it! Above and beyond! She was reliable, communicative, professional, and clearly loves animals. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet and house sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Brandi is absolutely exceptional! She went above and beyond taking care of my animals while I was away. She kept me well informed with updates, was incredibly kind and caring, and proved to be completely reliable throughout the entirety of my trip. It was a huge relief, knowing that my pets were in such great hands! On top of that, she was genuinely fun and easy to work with. I came home to happy, well cared for animals and couldn't be more grateful. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! I will most definitely be using Brandi again in the future! She's THE BEST!
Caroline jumped in and saved the day for me as I was out of state, had a dog sitter cancel due to family stuff and was in a bind without service. She was able to stay with sawyer and without great communication on my end due to being camping in North Carolina. Would definitely recommend!

Brenda took great care of my animals and home while we were away. She made sure they were stimulated enough, worked with the crazy puppy schedule and left my home the same if not better than I left it for her. I never leave my animals with someone I don't know but this was a wonderful experience, and if she is willing will use her again in the future.
