“When we first met Sonja, she clicked with our pets right away. We felt very comfortable having her watch our two cats and our senior dog while we were on vacation for a week. Sonja sent an update each day letting us know our pets were happy and enjoying their typical day of snoozing. When we got back, our pets were very happy to see us but I could tell they hadn't been starved for attention. We'll definitely be booking with Sonja next time we're out of town!”

“Sidney is the best! First time I left my dog Zoey with dog sitter and we couldn’t be happier! She is responsible, caring… even cleaned my house before I cam home. My dog, Zoey is worn out from all the trips to dog park, playing, and got her first pup cup icecream! We will definitely be using her again soon!”

“Kayla went above and beyond for our boy! She is super reliable and took such amazing care of Jax! Just to add how amazing she is, our garage code wasn’t working and she stayed over an hour locked out trying to figure out a solution to make sure she got to Jax while we were out of town!! A+ from us!”

“Isabelle and her boyfriend took great care of our puppy. They followed our house rules and went the extra mile to give our high energy puppy plenty of activity while they were house sitting. I would definitely work with them again!”

“Auden and Yen (her right hand canine assistant) kept our 8 month old female Birdie safe, loved ,exercised and entertained for eight days at our house while we had a trip out of state. First time we have left our puppy with a pet sitter and we’re naturally anxious at first but felt completely relaxed and confident with Auden especially after many cute pictures and texts of Birdie and Yen playing, sleeping and on walks together. Such a relief to find someone you feel safe leaving your pet with.”

“Amber was phenomenal with my dog, Arya, while I was out of the country!! She house sat for me and sent me daily updates and photos so I never had to worry how things were. I came home to a very happy pup! I can’t recommend her enough and will be using her again and again!”

“Angie was an amazing dog sitter for us!! She watched our dog, Rosie, and my brother in law’s dog, Kenobi, in our home when we were on vacation for 4 days. Angie came to our house prior to the sit for a proper meet and greet with the pups. It was clear how experienced she is around pets and the pups loved her immediately. Our dog Rosie is on a special diet which was no issue when we were away. Angie kept great communication and gave us daily updates with pictures of the dogs. I would highly recommend Angie!!”

“Christine was absolutely amazing! We were hesitant in finding a house sitter for our dogs and cats as we’ve had a bad experience in the past, so I feel so lucky finding her! She cared about the wellbeing of our pets, sending photos throughout the day, giving us piece of mind. One of our dogs has major separation anxiety so she made sure to give him extra TLC. She took great care of our apartment too! I love that she was communicative and just had great energy. Christine will now be our go-to sitter for as long as she is available.”


About: I grew up with a dog and I lived with dogs. I was often left in charge of the needs and cares of these animals. I am capable of caring for multiple dogs at a time and have no issues with walking them simultaneously. I work a full time job I’m available evening and nights during the week and sometimes on the weekends. I have 3 days off a week. I abide by the rules you set for your pets from feeding time to going outside, two walks a day and plenty of play time. I have a mellow energy and a strong ability to pick up on an animal’s vibes, adjusting my own energy to match. If they’re playful and active, I will engage with them on their level. I’m currently working a full time job. I work two twelve hour days and 2 eight hour days every week. I work two weekends every month but I have 3 days off a week. I’ll take care of them like they are my own. I make sure they are safe and have everything they need especially if I’m not there.
“Rachel recently house sat and looked after my two Cavachon's. I was a little apprehensive using this service at first but had no choice due to circumstances. I will say it was first class all due to Rachel and her professionalism, responsible nature, caring & thoughtful consideration for my pets. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone considering her services !! Great job Rachel and thank you again !! This allowed me to go on my trip that I would have otherwise had to cancel !!”
“Kay was awesome with our boys Alan and Jaxson! She sent pictures to us daily and gave updates on how they were doing. Dogs really liked her. She left the house as if we never left. Thank you so much. Most definitely will be using Kay for our future Rover inquiries.”

About: I'm a firm believer that life is better with dogs. However, I know how busy life can get, so I'm happy to help somebody keep the dog in their life happy. I work from home so I'm here all the time, so my schedule can be flexible during the day. My dogs are my babies and I will treat yours like they are, too. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule. I can come over in the morning for breakfast, in the middle of the day for walks, to at night for dinner. I would prefer to care for your dogs in your home. I have 3 of my own, so it would be a little chaotic if they were all here

About: Growing up my house, my family has had lots of different kinds of pets. We have had pets like, tropical birds,, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, cats and dogs. I have loved taking care each and everyone of them! I have a cat I live with so each day I am activity taking care of and providing for him. Those task include, feeding, giving water to, scooping litter, and playing with and giving attention to. When taking care of my pets i prioritize their safety and my safety. I want to make sure they live long healthy lives. I also love being able to play with them, take them on walks, and give lots of attention to with love.
“Mika is a reactive dog around strangers, and this was her very first time staying alone without me — so it wasn’t an easy situation. The first few hours were tough, but Sky, with so much patience, love, and sensitivity, managed to earn Mika’s trust and affection on the very first day. It was truly amazing. 🤩 On top of that, Sky gave me so much peace of mind by sending frequent updates and photos of Mika, which really helped ease my anxiety. ADEMÁS que habla español, mi idioma nativo, así que no pude estar más cómoda en nuestra comunicación. Sky —a name that couldn’t be more fitting— is a kind, respectful, communicative, and very responsible young woman. I would trust her with Mika again a thousand times over. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Sky! 💖”

“Last minute the weather turned bad and we decided not to bring our bulldogs to the family reunion. I came to rover.com and Sheena was awesome enough to accommodate our doggie's needs. She kept in contact with us and took a great picture of our furry guys and we were able to relax and enjoy our family fun! We can't thank you enough Sheena for taking such great care of our boys. We all loved you from the moment you arrived to the sweet doggie good bye. We hope to see you back again next time!!??”
