“Jayd did a fantastic job taking care of my Nova! This was the first time I’ve been away from Nova since I adopted her a year ago, and she’d already had 3 other owners before me, so needless to say I was nervous about leaving her. But Jayd was so caring of Nova and did a fantastic job communicating with me, sending lots of pictures and updates, and it really put my mind at ease. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets! A million thumbs up!”

“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.”

“From the moment I met Kianna I felt completely comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. The dogs were well looked after, and it was clear that Kianna was an animal lover. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind as it was the first time I was leaving my dogs, (Zeke is 12 years old) and my home in someone else’s care. The dogs seem to be happy and relaxed when I returned, which is a huge benefit of in-home care. It was evident that the dogs and my home were treated with love, attention, and respect. With about 6 inches of snow and rain and a doggie door, I was expecting paw prints everywhere but this was not the case not a muddy paw mark to be seen. I would recommend Kianna to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and responsible dog sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my pups.”

“Kerry did a great job with our babies and communicated with us while we were in vacation about how things were going. In addition to taking care of the pets the house was tidy and he went above and beyond by taking our trash out to the curb. All the pets were I great spirits when we got home. Would recommend Kerry to family and friends.”

“Xion was amazing! They went above and beyond in home sitting our dog over our Thanksgiving vacation. From near-daily text and photo updates, to even shoveling snow from our driveway and sidewalk, they really took care of everything and more. So grateful and would absolutely book again!”

“My doggie is a happy doggie! She welcomed him and loved him from the first moment she saw him! Even when saying goodbye at the door. She took pictures and sent them to me which was so sweet! My doggie was in good expert loving hands. No worries!”

“Nicole was amazing! My little nova girl loved her from the beginning! She took amazing care of my puppy and my house! Couldn’t ask for someone better to take care of things for a weekend! So glad I met her and would recommend to anyone! She sent updates with pictures daily! Which was amazing!! And left my house cleaner than she found it! 10/10 recommend 🩷”

“Marcellene was awesome! We have a dog with a lot of needs (medication, fear aggression, etc) and she was very well taken care of. She sent lots of updates and pictures and we could really enjoy our vacation because we felt at ease with everything at home for our pups. We will definitely work with her again!”

“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!”

“Molly was so great!! She was patient and kind with my little buddies, and sent picture updates that were so sweet!! She was detail oriented, and went above and beyond in caring for my fur buddies. Thanks again Molly, hope to see you again soon!!”

“Liz did a wonderful job watching our kids. We have one large dog and one small dog. Liz did a great job of catering to each of their needs. We could see through the pics that she sent with updates that they were happy and well cared for making it easy to relax while on vacation. And we came home to a clean house and happy dogs. We will definately reach out to her again when we need a sitter.”

“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!”

About: I have taken care of my sisters dogs for multiple weeks when she was out of town, I am very active so I love to run around and play with dogs I currently work part time, I have days where I do not work at all and could come drop in or baby sit for a few hours whatever you need :) I make sure all animals are fed and have water and are not in any pain, I love running and playing games with animals they’re very interesting creatures, I would make sure they are getting the fulfillment they need and keep them safe and happy
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life, worked at VCA Alpine Animal Hospital in Alaska as a kennel tech for about a year before joining the Air Force, so I can confidently give your dogs medicine if need be, but cannot do injectables since I did not work medical side. Also have 2 senior dogs myself that my Wife and I have had for the last 8 years. If you are located on Hill AFB, that’s not a problem! I’m full-time Air Force Monday-Friday from 6-3 sometimes 4. So I can do walks or visits anytime after that, and can do weekends & federal holidays 3 times a day, morning/afternoon/evening. I can hang out and keep your pets company when needed by making sure they’re getting the right amount of food, breaks, and meds if needed! No issues with crating them if needed and of course, giving them some playtime while you’re away. If you just require a walker, that’s fine too! I’m comfortable with handling pets on a leash, and just in case a dog in passing is not as friendly as you’d hope, I typically just steer clear!
“Kyle was the best with handling our 3 girls! We are so thankful for him! He is detail oriented and also takes care of your dogs as if they were his own! We are soo thankful and enjoyed all the videos and pictures he sent us! I”

“Ilana took care of my mini zoo which is a large task She did is well. If she can handle my 3 dogs, 2 cats and a bearded dragon and not miss a beat, she can handle your babies. She took care of my place like it was her own. She even washed and dried the newly cleaned sheets and towels I left for her before she left my home . Thank you Ilana. I would like you to come back again”

Riverdale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kendra did an excellent job with my high energy boy!! She sent updates, along with pictures, and my dog looked so happy and content in them! She communicated very well and followed all instructions we left. We’ll 100% be using her again in the future! Highly 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.

Colton was responsive and kind. He did a great job keeping Louie happy and active and our home perfectly clean. He sent us updates when we wanted and let us know how Louie was. We booked last minutes and he was happy a willing to work with us. Thanks Colton!

Deb has sat for us twice now. She's so good with our dogs and they are always happy and well cared for. They are used to someone at home all the time so her schedule works out! She's very respectful of our property and manages the daily upkeep. We will continue to invite her back!
