“I’ve booked Zach twice for house sitting with my three dogs, and I am completely blown away by his excellent service. I have a cane corso, a rotty, and pittie, so they are quite large, and they love when he comes over. I’ve had several sitters cancel, because they get overwhelmed with three, but not Zach. He also goes above and beyond and leaves the space spotless. I tell him I’ll clean up after I come back, but it’s not in his character to not go above and beyond. Even the trash was taken out. I’m like, how are you real?! Lol Highly recommend.”


“Jordan was fantastic. She took great care of our dog and our house while we were out of town. She provided regular updates and great pictures of our pup. We would absolutely recommend Jordan to all of our friends!”


“Jennifer was awesome! I had a last minute stay because a friend bailed on me. She came in was dependable and reliable and kept me up to date.”


“Rhoda did such an amazing job taking care of my baby! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and really gave me peace of mind while traveling. She also kept my place very clean and was a great house sitter. I highly recommend Rhoda!!”


“Perfect! Sent pictures while I was gone and was very responsive. My pup is great and the house looks exactly the way I left it. Will book again!”


“Avery was absolutely amazing! Our dogs loved her and she left our house incredibly neat and clean. I would absolutely suggest her to everyone and I plan to use her again!!”



“Amy is super sweet & so kind with my dog. She was on time and so great at communicating with me ahead of time. Made for easy setting up of the visit. Zip loved her & we can't wait to use her again in the future!”


“We love Rebecca! She stayed at our home with our 3 pups and we were so happy with her service. She communicated well and is super sweet. We will definitely be using her in the future!”


“Haley took care of our pets and we appreciated all the photos while we were away. It allowed us to feel at ease knowing they were ok and she was able to spend some time with them, especially our pup who cannot be left out of the cage when alone.”


“Victoria was our very first Rover experience and she was fantastic! We would 100000% ask her to watch our dogs and stay at our house again. We didn’t worry about them being taken care of, she sent multiple pictures of them having fun throughout the dog sitting and we came home to two very happy pups. One of our dogs has anxiety and she made sure to come and meet him twice, left a sweatshirt for them to get comfortable with her scent and truly went above and beyond. We are very happy that they had a great time and would absolutely ask Victoria to dog sit again!”



“Blair home sat Lacey and followed our care instructions, which are a complex because of what and how we feed her. The house was also tidy. Blair communicates well and has a pleasant manor and kind demeanor. We'd would have liked daily pictures but still recommend Blair wholeheartedly.”


“Mariana was an absolute gem! She cared for our two dogs in-home and immediately made them feel comfortable with her warm, friendly, and loving energy. She kept us updated with adorable photo check-ins and her communication was always clear and prompt. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we returned—it’s clear she treated them like her own. I’ll definitely be booking her again!!”


About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years and will give your fur babies anything they need. I work from home with a flexible schedule and have a fully fenced in backyard. This allows your pet to go out whenever needed or longer walks. I do have a cat, but he fine with other cats and indifferent to dogs. I work from home during the week on a standard work schedule. I can watch your pet any day needed. Although I work full-time, I make my own schedule and can visit your pet at any time or take them outside if staying at my place. I inquire of the pet owner prior to any boarding or appointment on pet specific needs and will schedule as such. I also have an extra bedroom that can be used for their bedroom as needed.

About: As a lifelong big guy and animal lover, I bring calm, confident, consistent care to pets of all sizes and ages with experience with men's, mobility, grooming, and affection routines. I care for my own fur children but my current work doesn't require my attention for more than couple hours a day so I am very open to scheduling arrangements around any time frame. My girls thrive in a calm and consistent environment so that's exactly what I try my best to provide. I prioritize safety at all times, keeping steady routines, closely monitor behavior, and always using pet-safe products. I am always mindful of entrances (mostly not to hit my head) leashes, and feeding times, and I'll never leave pets unattended. I like to build trust with animals through quiet presence, patience, and clear intentions communicated. My goal is to make your animal companion feel secure, comfortable, and cared for like family.

“Becky was a fantasy dog sitter during our 11 night trip out of the country. She sent us photos and updates every day and immediately brought up any concerns. She took our pup for walks even though we have a big back yard and gave him lots of pets and snuggles. She went above and beyond bringing in our mail and watering the plants too. We’ve already booked her for our next out of town vacation.”


“Outstanding. It is hard to find a person to trust with your home, but I give this individual five stars without reservation. Highly recommend.”


“Ronnie always goes over and above! My babies just adore him and he always responds so quickly! I will continue to use Ronnie and highly recommend him!”


“Rebecca did an amazing job. She stayed with my girls, took them on walks, and went above and beyond to send me photos and videos of them and keep me updated while I was traveling. They absolutely love her and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

Riverside Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Laura took care of our pup as if he was her own! She’s super responsible and reliable. Always on time and goes above and beyond.

I took the recommendation of a work friend to use Rachel and I am glad I did. I just moved to Tampa and do not have family near me. Gizmo always stayed with family when I needed to travel. Well this trip came up unexpectedly and again, thankfully I found Rachel. She was at my place for 3 days to take gizmo out and feed him. My guy is just fine alone but appreciated the company in my absence. She was communicative, punctual, reliable, and very good to Gizzy. I would def use her again when I have another trip.

Mariah took great care of my dog. We were living in a new home and she helped him to adjust and become very comfortable and confident in his new environment. She was extremely professional and easy to communicate with before and during her visits. Highly recommend her services!

Olivia came through in a pinch when my usual dog sitter had to cancel at the last minute. She sent me updates and was responsive whenever I messaged to check in while I was away. Thanks, Olivia - I appreciate that I could go on my trip and count on you to take good care of my girl!

Rebecca did an amazing job. She stayed with my girls, took them on walks, and went above and beyond to send me photos and videos of them and keep me updated while I was traveling. They absolutely love her and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Jennifer was very prompt and kept me advised as to what was going on with my pet. My pet adored her and responded great. I have a new puppy so it’s not an easy assignment but she handled everything great. Would definitely use her again.

Jaden was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment they met, I could tell my pup felt comfortable and well cared for. Jaden kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Thank you so much!

Ayla was amazing!! She watched my dog (Morty) for 4 nights and did a great job. She sent updates throughout the days and went out of the way to get my dog some chicken when he was feeling great. She left my house very tidy and Morty very happy. I highly recommend her!

Sydney was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive to my pets’ needs. I felt 100% confident leaving my animals in her care — and they absolutely loved her! She kept me updated with daily photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She didn’t just stop at feeding and walking — Sydney went the extra mile with cuddles, playtime, and making sure each of my pets felt loved and comfortable. It was clear she truly cared about them as if they were her own. Not only did she take phenomenal care of my animals, but she also looked after my home with the utmost respect. I came back to a clean, well-kept space and happy pets

Michele was amazing. She gave my puppy Lila a grand adventure while I was out of town for the weekend. She sent plenty of pictures and updates to keep me informed. I know my pup was in great hands and looked so happy in all of her pictures. I’m so lucky to have found Michele to house and dog sit for me, she made it less stressful and easy! Will definitely use her again!

Mia sent me photos throughout and the house was left nice and clean. I would definitely recommend her!

Paige & Nathan were absolutely wonderful house sitters for our two golden retrievers, Parker and Jackson! They were communicative, respectful of our home, and most importantly, gave our pups so much love and attention. We came home to two very happy dogs and a spotless house. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, reliable sitters!

Lily was awesome with Enzo! She kept us very informed with photos and updates and I knew he was in good hands! Will definitely use her again!

Molly was incredible! She communicated so well, took such great care of our very particular animals and our house! We feel really lucky we found here and will absolutely use her again and again as a sitter as long as she’s available!

Joe was excellent. He stopped by for a meet-and-greet a week prior to the stay and was attentive to my concerns regarding my dog’s anxiety. He handled everything with care and professionalism. Throughout the stay, he provided frequent and detailed updates, and we returned to find the house in even better condition than when we left which was a blessing to see after a very early morning flight.

Nusa was an amazing pet and house sitter while we were gone! She took such good care of my babies and even did some extra cleaning around the house! She sent pictures every day, which we loved and we were so assured that our pets were getting the best care!

As always Ronnie has been amazing! I will not book with anyone else because my babies are always happy when I get home. Ronnie goes over and above and sends updates everyday throughout the day!

I had a wonderful experience with Ketah! She was incredibly kind, respectful, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From the start, I felt at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. Mila was happy, well cared for, and got plenty of love and attention while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and photos—it meant a lot to see how comfortable and content my pup was. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Ketah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.
