“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!”
“Maddie was fantastic! She was highly proactive with outreach and made sure to ask lots of questions. She was prompt with a meet and greet and made sure to keep our dog comfortable, giving her all the attention needed and handling things according to our instructions. She was kind, responsive and communicative throughout. We came home to a very happy dog - we wouldn’t hesitate a second to have her back over!”
“Renee was wonderful - caring, attentive, and communicative, doting on our buddies, sending photos and updates each day, and keeping everything in order while we were away. We returned to a relaxed, happy trio - thank you Renee!”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful watching our dog bean for a week while we were on vacation! Bean is a super shy dog with some arthritis and weird quirks so it was so great that she was able to make bean feel comfortable and secure! She did a great job handling her meds and routine. We came back to a spotless house and a happy dog!”
“Sad I can't give Leslie more than 5/5 stars. She was stellar! Very communicative and took great care of our dog and cat. Our cat doesn't come out of hiding for anyone but she came out for Leslie within a few hours.”
“Emily is amazing! She watched our fur baby for a 6 night stay and she took very good care of him. She sent us daily texts pictures and videos to update us along the trip. I definitely recommend using Emily to watch your fur babies. She treats them as if they are her own. ❤️”
“August was wonderful with my fur baby and my home. It was so much easier to just leave and go on vacation instead of packing my dog up with all her stuff and trying to pick her up. I think it was less stressful for both of us. I definitely will be using August in the future.”
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a kid, whether for friends family or volunteering at the Cleveland APL. I currently work at the cat cafe in Cleveland where I have taken care of cats from all walks of life, with all different needs. At home I have two cats (19 and 13) and one dog (18). I have experience with both dogs and cats with many different medical conditions including diabetes, anxiety, hyperthyroidism, dementia, arthritis, CH, and many more! I usually work mornings, so I can do quick visits before work, but have lots of time in my afternoon/evenings to spend time with the animals if that's something that they need! I always like to visit your home and meet the animals and see how you interact with and accommodate your animals! Making sure that the transition between me and you is as seamless as possible and giving the animals a sense of routine is extremely important to me!
“Molly was great! She stayed at our house and watched our Great Dane. She kept us updated and sent photos. Our dog is high maintenance and she did a great job caring for her. I recommend Molly and will use her again.”
“Amazing with my three pups!! Great communication and was able to help us with my diabetic dog and two younger doodles. I felt very comfortable knowing Becca was taking care of them. She watched them for a weekend and we came home to happy pups and a clean house. Definitely recommend her for a nightly stay or longer!!”
“This was Christabel’s second time sitting for my cats. I appreciate her meeting me ahead of the sit to receive the keys and discuss recent changes to my cats’ care. I will definitely check her calendar for any future trips!”
“Andrea was amazing with our sweet boy. He has some special attention needs and she was completely understanding and responsive to them. She sent us great periodic updates and took him on walks as well (his favorite!). We will def book with her again! In addition to being great with Chico, she left our home exactly the way we left it!”
“Keith is very accommodating to our needs and schedule. Great communication and fast response. We are very pleased that we found Keith on this platform to help us when we are away.”
“Olesja was absolutely wonderful. We had her watch our 2 dogs and stayed at our house. She took them on frequent walks, sent tons of photos, and kept us updated while we were on vacation. She understands dogs and their behavior and I fully trust her watching my kiddos and the house! Would definitely recommend and will be working with her again in the future !”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, along with a ton of livestock and smaller critters throughout. I currently have two small dogs who enjoy hiking, swimming, paddle boarding, and sitting around lol! I’m great with high energy dogs and have a lot of experience around them on farms. Everything from big dogs, small dogs, young to old dogs, and high maintenance to low maintenance dogs! I’m currently working part time, but have most mornings available as I work in the evenings! I love getting outside everyday and walking in the metro parks. Providing comfort, exercise, and stimulation for your dog while you’re away! I always want to ensure they feel safe and have all their needs met.
“Elizabeth is the absolute best and I highly recommend you use her for your pet sitting needs. This was my first time using Rover. I have a larger dog and a cat and I usually would take them to a kennel or have them boarded. I thought I would try Rover when I went on a short road trip and I had no idea what to expect. Elizabeth was the perfect choice. She showed up multiple times a day. Walked my dog, gave my cat treats and sent me dozens of photos over the course of the 5 days that I was gone. She even left a small gift bag with toys and bandanas for my pets that I discovered when I returned home. If you ever need a pet sitting service the first thing you should do is see if Elizabeth is available. If I could give her ten stars I would.”
“Having Madi stay with our dogs was fabulous! They were happy and well taken care of. There was no hunger strike or readjustment period as in the past :) Madi was great with communication!”

For one of the first times, I’ve been able to go on vacation and know all of my animals were well taken care of. Andrea was awesome!! She sent me lots of pictures and videos and kept in touch while we were away- this is for me such a game changer- being able to see and hear how everyone is doing helps me relax and enjoy. When I came home all of the animals were happy and seemed very content. I will definitely be scheduling with Andrea again!
Breon was lovely! She sent lots of pictures and videos during the stay and was very considerate of our dogs medication schedules. Our dogs clearly got lots of playtime and cuddles. She was super respectful of the house and a great communicator over the 4 night stay. Won’t hesitate to have her back!
Brittany was such a joy to work with while we were out of state for 6 nights. She took fantastic care of our two somewhat high maintenance dogs, and made it so easy for us to be present on our trip. She sent plenty of pictures and our girls were clearly happy spending time with her. We will absolutely try to book with Brittany again in the future.
Maura was very responsive when I reached out to schedule with her! We got the meet and greet set up that same day for within a week and then she was able to watch my guys within two weeks! During the meet and greet, she asked plenty of questions and it made myself and my fiance feel comfortable leaving our animals in her care as she seemed very on top of it! She was also very nice and listened to all of our instructions! Maura stayed over for the weekend and sent picture updates every day. The boys looked comfortable and like they were enjoying themselves! Once arriving home, the house was clean and tidy! No complaints here! Glad we went with her and will definitely be rebooking with her again!
It is easy to see that August cares genuinely about pets, and is dedicated to providing top quality care. I really appreciate August's pro-level communication, responsiveness, and flexibility. August does have 3 years of experience caring for pets in a professional environment, and I feel assured that my pup will get great care and plenty of attention!
Emily was absolutely wonderful watching our dog bean for a week while we were on vacation! Bean is a super shy dog with some arthritis and weird quirks so it was so great that she was able to make bean feel comfortable and secure! She did a great job handling her meds and routine. We came back to a spotless house and a happy dog!
Katie took excellent care of our pack & our house while we were out of town. She sent regular updates and photos, and it seemed like our animas really took to her. It was great to have the peace of mind knowing that they were taken care of like her own animals!
I found a gem of a cat sitter in Allyce, who came to the rescue when I contacted her with only a few days notice, rearranging her schedule to help. She gave my two cats the best care during my trip, and me peace of mind knowing I could trust her with them my home. She is incredibly thoughtful, thorough, and sweet, and sent me updates throughout the day, assuring me they were being cared for wonderfully. I highly recommend her to any pet parent, and my cats are already looking forward to seeing her again!
I wish we could rate Taylor 10 stars! She took the best care of our old boy Finnigan. He got lots of walks, snuggles and affection. Taylor also took excellent care of our home while we were away for Christmas. We were able to book Taylor on very short notice for a holiday trip since our other sitter cancelled. Finnigan and I highly recommend Taylor!
Nick was fantastic with my pups! He went above and beyond everyday to keep me updated on the goings on of the dogs. He tended to their needs as expected but also played with them and gave them cuddles when they wanted. When it snowed he even found the shovel himself and made a path for the dogs to do their business! I cannot thank him enough for taking care of my babies as this was my first time away since adopting them. Also after being away for several days it was amazing coming home to an immaculate house that didn't look touched since I left. You can't go wrong choosing Nick as your house sitter.
Elizabeth did an amazing job watching my dog while I was out of town! It makes it much easier to relax when traveling when you know your pet is safe and in good hands! Elizabeth did an outstanding job of keeping me updated with photos and text messages!! I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!!
