“Alyssa went above and beyond for our girl, who just happens to be a bit anxious. She took good care of our home and sent updates throughout our time away, we really felt better knowing she was watching our baby. Cannot say enough how much we appreciate this service!”


“As always, Jo is THE BEST. I never have to worry they are being well cared for. She is very observant of their behavior. We always enjoy her running commentary throughout her stay! My pets LOVE her!!”

“Dawn was a great sitter for our puppy. He was very comfortable with her and despite all the rain which he does not like, she was able to get him to go out to do his business. She played with him and cuddled him up, sent pics and was genuinely very kind and caring for our pet. She was on time and very friendly! We will definitely use her again!”

“Christina was fantastic with my little ones. She stayed at our house, sent us photos, and checked in daily. It was such a relief knowing that my dogs are comfortable while gone. Definitely will use her again!”

“Maura was AMAZING!!!!!! We were gone for 11 nights and she treated our dogs like they were her own. She communicated and sent pics to keep us updated. I couldn’t have asked for more! She went above and beyond! Will be using her again!!!”

“Lisa was wonderful! She was very kind and a good communicator. We came home to a happy pup and a home that looked better than when we left. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future!”

“Carrie was great with our Gilbert, she stayed over our place with him overnight while we were out of town! He still has puppy golden energy & can be hyper at times. She was very patient with him & updated us frequently with photos as well. I would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!”

“Keith provided house sitting service to us when we are away. He is very responsive and easy to work with. We will definitely use his service again in the future.”

About: I adopted my dog when he was 9, and I love taking care of senior dogs, well all dogs. Dogs of all ages need a good home! I’m currently working part time and from home, I have lots of time to give your dogs lots of attention and the desired amount of treats! I own my home with a yard perfect for pooping in. I also love taking dogs for walks for their bathroom needs and I pick up their poop.
“This is our second time having Paige watch our boys and as per usual, I did not have to ever think twice or worry about a thing. The four leggeds were happy, the house was well taken care of and I was always made aware of what was going on at home. Paige was especially attentive of my dog during the heavy thunderstorms that happened while we were gone and I was very appreciative of that! I will 100% use Paige again - highly, highly recommend!”
“I couldn’t have found a better sitter for my beagle. This is the first time he has had a sitter since we rescued him. Madison knew exactly what to do to help Flash adjust to her. Madison’s love for dogs is apparent by the time she spent playing with him and the wonderful pictures she sent with comments. She always responded quickly to all communication. I feel 100% confident leaving my dear dog with her. With all of that said I must add that her warm and friendly personality is a major plus. She has earned the highest score possible for top notch dog sitters!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since childhood and have experience house-sitting for a variety of pets. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets receive the exercise and mental stimulation they need, whether it’s a game of fetch or interactive play. I am a full time student at Westminster College, I have time in between classes & I only have classes for about 4 hours a day. I’m constantly double checking on the pets and whatever needs done. I can feed and give them water, take them out for walks, and give them lots of attention.
“Jennifer was amazing watching our pup, Callie, overnight at our home! This was the first time we left Callie with someone other than family overnight, so I was a bit of a worry wart. But, Jennifer put my nerves at ease - she updated me with adorable photos of them playing, so I knew Callie was not only safe, but also having so much fun! She fed her and walked her as well! I’d absolutely have Jennifer watch Callie again and would highly recommend her to everyone! :)”
“My dog Jett immediately engaged with Caitlin. You could tell he was very comfortable with her. She was very polite and easy going and was flexible with my open ended schedule.”

“Great dog sitter and fast response. Sharon has been in constant communication and send pictures daily. I have even extended my days and she is my favorite sitter on here. Highly recommend her. I have rebooked her for many more jobs!”

“Allyce did a fantastic job watching my dog and cat while my boyfriend and I were away for nearly a week. They loved her! They played and snuggled together which is just what they needed. She sent pictures everyday and gave updates along the way. Highly recommend.”


About: I'm a 50 something teacher who has many school breaks and enjoys the companionship and love of a dog. Unfortunately I coach in the spring, so I don't have the time to give a pet the love and care it needs all year long. I'm hoping you'll trust me with your pet and I will love and care for it as my own. I had a dog my entire life before I divorced. Living arrangements and extra jobs have prohibited me from getting my own. I will walk and take your canine to the park if they are ok with car rides. I sit and walk friends dogs when needed already and really miss their company. Let me care for your canine when you can't! I'm a full time high school teacher. I can take care of your pups during the week if they are OK being alone for 8 hours. I am home full time on weekends and can spend the entire time living on your fur babies. I love in an apartment so medium to smaller dogs are best for boarding. I love dogs so is have no problem sitting large dogs in their own homes. I will show your dog love and affection and play with them while in my care. They will be treated as my own.
“Olesja was AMAZING with our two dogs. Our older dog has become fairly territorial around people he isn't fully comfortable with so we have to be very careful about who we let take care of him, but he and Olesja hit it off immediately! She became one of his favorite people as soon as she came over for her meet and greet. She was a great communicator and consistently went out of her way to give our pups the best experience possible. (She even put up with my landlord accidentally locking her out while it was raining.) Our dogs are also so much better on leash thanks to her training! Will definitely be adding her to our list of regular sitters going forward.”

“Jessica did a fantastic job taking care of our pup! She communicated well, asked great questions, sent lots of pictures, and was overall well equipped and prepared. Never doubted for a minute the care amour dog was receiving. I know our dog can’t wait to have her back and I’d certainly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for excellent care!”

Carrie was great with our Gilbert, she stayed over our place with him overnight while we were out of town! He still has puppy golden energy & can be hyper at times. She was very patient with him & updated us frequently with photos as well. I would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!

Allyce was fantastic, very responsive and took great care of Bruno during her stay. She left the house looking better than when I left for my trip and Bruno really seemed to enjoy his time with her. I would highly recommend using Allyce if you need someone to watch your dog or cat.

Candy was absolutely amazing with our 13 year old pup! She completely went above and beyond with her visits and care - she checked in every day, sending adorable pics & updates. We highly recommend booking with Candy and will totally reach back out in the future when we need dog sitting! Thank you so much, Candy!

Elysia was great! She responded quickly to my inquiry when I suddenly needed a dog sitter on very short notice, and I could tell right away during our meet & greet that she’d take great care of our dog. We came home to a happy dog and a well cared-for home. I would hire her again.

In the past, I have been hesitant using rover because it can be difficult to trust someone with your pet. However, I couldn't be happier we decided to reach out to Sierra to board our Bernese mountain dog, Sullivan! Sully has a lot of personality and can be anxious at times, it takes some time getting to know his quirkiness; but when we did the meet and greet with Sierra, it eased all of my worries! You can tell she genuinely loves being around, and caring for dogs. Sully got along great with her two dogs, who are so well behaved. Throughout our trip, Sierra sent the perfect amount of updates with pictures and videos- and Sully made himself right at home! It was so nice to enjoy my time away knowing Sully was in good hands, and we are so relieved to have found a reliable couple to watch Sully and to be stress free when away!

Anna was a fantastic companion for our dog Jax! She took excellent care of him and sent us updates and pictures throughout her stay at our house. She went above and beyond by stopping by to get a tour of the house and to get to know Jax the day prior to our reservation. We would highly recommend Anna to other families who are looking for a new friend that your dog can spend time with when you’re away from home! :)

This was my first time using a house sitter as a friend usually stays with our dogs when we’re out of town. Ora was on my shortlist to contact, she came for the meet and greet and I instantly felt comfortable, knowing my dogs would be well taken care of, she watched our dogs for 10 days, we received lots of updates, I could tell from pictures and videos that our dogs loved Ora! It was a huge relief to see our dogs were well taken care of and our home was clean and tidy! We will definitely be contacting Ora again for future trips!
