“Amy is amazing, our dogs were happy, fat and sassy when we got home from our trip. She gave us updates and pictures daily. I highly recommend her and we for sure will reach out to her for all our sitting needs.”

“Aulelei is THE BEST!!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars! We had a lot of last minute chaos that was super unexpected right before we left, and Aulelei was INCREDIBLE. She was so flexible, so communicative, and so responsible! She took such good care of our fur babies!! I would recommend her to everyone! Thanks again Aulelei!!!”

“Amazing, just amazing!! I'm certain my dogs did not even miss us, I'm pretty sure that my dogs miss Jenna. For the first day or two that we were home, my dogs kept going into the guest bedroom looking for her. She sent pictures and videos of them playing and cuddling up on the couch, it was obvious that my dogs were having a great time. I would not hesitate to book her again, she's friendly, kind and left my house spotless. Thank you Jenna, I was able to relax and have a great family vacation because I knew you were taking care of our dogs and the house.”

“Amanda was great! My social cat really enjoyed playing with her and hanging out with her! She also left the house spotless and with washed sheets which was extremely helpful so that we could crawl into bed right when we got home from our trip!”

About: I have been pet sitting dogs, cats, hamsters, and more since I was in high school. I love playing with animals and making them feel loved while their people are away! As a teacher on summer break, I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I love to be outside throwing the ball or going for a walk. Routine is very important, and I will stick to your pet’s schedule. I’ll be very respectful of your home and clean up after your pets.
“Nancy watched by two dogs (and plants) while I was out of town for a few days. My dogs can be a challenge as one of them is sick and Nancy did an amazing job!! I came home to happy dogs and a clean home.”


“Kelsey was an absolutely incredible sitter to my pup, Blue! He is dealing with some medical issues, and she was able to handle it all with care and grace. I'm super appreciative and will definitely be using her again in the future :)”

About: I grew up with my dog Sandy; who was my very best friend. I’ve had many sweet doggies & kitties in my life. And I am happiest when taking care of a pet and do all I can so they feel loved & happy. I am retired so I can dedicate my time to taking care of your dog and/or cat when they need me. During the week and on weekends. I will take care of your pets, in their own home, so they are comfortable, happy, secure, and well loved while you are away. 🐾
“I hired Ashleigh to watch my Pyrenees while i was out of the country. She did an exceptional job, sent me pictures and videos throughout my time away. The house was exactly how i left it, my baby girl seemed content and Ashleigh followed up to make sure i made it home. I would definitely recommend Ashleigh for your pet care needs, just know i get first refusal :)”

“Raechel is incredible! She is reliable and trustworthy. She took great care of our two dogs for a week. They loved her! We came back to clean house too. We are very happy with her services and highly recommend her.”

About: We’ve had beloved dogs and cats for over 20 years and are comfortable with giving medication or special needs. I’m comfortable with all breeds, big and small. I work remotely 3 days a week and have a flexible schedule when I do go to the office - which allows me to be available to spend time. I have a large fenced in yard and do not leave dogs unattended. We have an 8 month old rescue pup that gets along well with other dogs.

About: Dogs have been part of my household since childhood both as a member of our family and as a responsibility. I am familiar with puppy energy, older dog needs, and the social interaction that your furry fam requires and their individual personalities that require a unique individual approach. I am experienced with dog walking, pet sitting, visitations and transport and social time/outtings. I have traveled with pets, and know how important routines and frequent checkups are for their social and mental well-being! I have currently full availability. Dog sitting for an extended period? Absolutely not a problem. I am able to do check-ins during certain times, or if you just want them to have a bathroom break every few hours or so I’m fine with that. I am alright to do some travel for small to mid/large dogs, if they need some park time, or even if you are looking to have them taken somewhere and can’t swing by home to grab them! Currently have no pets (they had to stay back home with parents 😢) and willing to take a small animal for a weekender stay in my apartment if they have a kennel. In the event that I do I can only take them for a weekend due to apartment style living not being as suitable for a dog. However while they are here, I am able to walk them quite a bit in this area; Heights has great walkability. Most of my care would be for you at your home, walking, sitting, pickup, etc. If they like to grab treats, interact with people, etc. I can find an arrangement either you that works best for your pet. I have friends nearby who have had rescues, elderly pets, and love animals, so they would love to meet and greet and give your animal some love and plenty of attention
“Jennifer has taken care of our dogs on multiple occasions in the past year from drop in visits to house sitting. She has been amazing each time, going above and beyond to ensure our dogs are happy and healthy”

“I have had quite a few rover sitters due to moving for jobs and she has been the best by far! I felt like my dogs were well taken care of and she sent both pictures as well a couple of videos of all the cuddles/playtime. She was also respectful and dependable.”

“Eva was such an all around incredible sitter. She followed the pets routine perfectly, administered medicine, took them on walks and when it rained, played with them indoors to tire them out. My vacation was all that more relaxing because I knew I didn’t have to worry, as my pets were in good hands. I would receive updates and photos throughout the day from Eva which was great. When my cat brought in dead animals from outside, she graciously cleaned up the mess. I couldn’t recommend her more to anyone needing a reliable house sitter, pet sitter or help in any capacity. She’s an absolute gem.”

“This was our first experience using Rover so my wife and I were slightly nervous, however after meeting Spirit and seeing how she was with Roland we decided to give it a shot. While we were gone we received pictures and videos daily letting us know our boy was in the best possible hands. Roland can’t wait for the next time!”

Rock Creek pet parents share their Rover experiences
Maddie was great with my dog. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her after our first meet up. It is very clear how much she loves animals. She took great care of Stanley and all of my additional requests while she was at my house. I am so grateful for her, and would trust her with any pets!

We’ve hired several dog and house sitters over the years, and I can say without hesitation that Jenna exceeded every expectation we had. Our home was not only well cared for—it was better than we left it. Jenna went above and beyond by cleaning areas we hadn’t gotten to before we left and kept everything spotless throughout her stay. Coming home to a pristine house is not something we’ve come to expect, but it made a lasting impression. What truly set Jenna apart, though, was the care she gave our dog. Our dog, Ella, can be dominant and has required a lot of patience and training. To see her not just cared for—but genuinely thriving—meant everything to us. Jenna gave Ella what can only be described as her own vacation. She took her along on errands (something we’ve been cautious about while Ella is still in training) and safely introduced her to new environments and people. One of the highlights was Ella getting to spend time with Jenna’s students at the golf course—something we never would have imagined for her. The photos Jenna shared made it unmistakably clear: Ella was happy, engaged, and completely at ease. That level of trust, care, and confidence is rare. Jenna didn’t just watch our home and dog—she elevated both experiences. We would absolutely trust her again and recommend her without hesitation.

Michaela was wonderful. I was super anxious about leaving my dog but she took great care of him and sent lots of pictures, which made me feel so much more at ease. I really appreciated how communicative she was, and she left my house clean. Will definitely book with her again if able.
