“Mallory did a wonderful job house sitting for us and watching our pup!! She took incredible care of everything and sent great updates! She was very flexible and so easy to communicate with and very responsive!”

“Hollie was great with our dog Cosita while we were away. Cosita is very timid but Hollie gave her space until she was comfortable. We came back to a super clean house and happy dog. Would totally recommend!”


“Emily was great housing sitting our dog, Ginger. She sent us regular updates on Ginger along with photos. We could really enjoy our vacation knowing that Ginger was being loved and cared for at our home. Additionally, Emily was a thoughtful and considerate house guest. We would absolutely have her house sit Ginger again in the future.”

“Amanda is incredible. INCREDIBLE. You hear me? You cannot get a better pet sitter. Stop looking, and just book Amanda if she’s free. We’re pretty sure our pets will be sad we are back and that she’s not coming to hang with them!”

“I had to find a sitter VERY last minute and Margaret was incredible. She met me for a meet and greet and my sweet Tillie fell for her right away. Tillie had a great time on her sleepover and I'll definitely be reaching out to Margaret again in the future.”

“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”

“Victor was a great companion to Onion - they took to each other right away. Victor was respectful of my place and left it in great condition. Victor is now on my list of pet sitters for the future.”

“Bryan is so helpful — he was able to watch our house and two pets (dog & cat) for 17 days, including over the 4th of July weekend(!). Throughout, Bryan kept us informed about how things were going. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip knowing that all was well back home.”
About: I have taken care of neighbor, friends and families dogs for the past 4 years. I’m experienced in staying over, feeding your pets, playing and giving pets care over long weekends or for a short check up. I have worked with pets who have needed medicines at allotted times ie. at breakfast or dinner times. I also have experience with using an e-collar. I love to make your pet feel as comfortable as if you had never left! Currently I have a part time job and am a college student but with I have a lot flexibility, I am able to work around my schedule so it can work out for the both of us. I am able to take your dogs on walks or to the dog park. I also am able to crate them after we have returned from activities.
“What an amazing job from an amazing sitter! Christine was extremely polite, communicative, and always checking in with pictures and updates. She not only took care of Delilah, she took great care of the house! 100% recommended and 100% plan to rebook in the future. Thanks again!!”

“Available for a last minute trip, Cindy was a huge help! Responsive, cared for my dog well and kept me updated. I felt comfortably leaving my home and fuzzy buddy in her care.”

“Amelia took really great care of our two dogs with a last minute booking. She was communicative and made sure to send pictures. She left the house just as we had left it. Would definitely recommend her and book with her again!”

About: My family has had dogs since I was born, and I got my own 9 years ago when he was a puppy. I’ve raised him on my own, cared for my parents’ dogs when they’re out of town, and looked after my friends’ pets. I currently have a very flexible work schedule and can accommodate most days and times for pet care as needed. Comfortable walking dogs in any time of day and any season! I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and am comfortable with any breed or size. I’ve had senior dogs before, and raised my own dog since he was a puppy, so I’m comfortable with any age range too!
“Thane is so communicative and caring. Did a great job with my senior dog, Toast and sent lots of photos and updates. Thane is very responsible and responsive and did a great job pet and house sitting. I’ll definitely use em again!!!!”

“Paige was excellent! She was kind, always kept me updated, and took amazing care of my senior dog. I was worried about leaving him with a sitter as he can be reactive but Paige handled him perfectly. Having her as my sitter helped to take away the anxiety that can come with leaving my dog with a new person. She took him on a walk with her partner and pup, took him to the park, and sent the best photos along the way! Again, thank you Paige!!”
Rosedale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Anthony was amazing! We had a great peace of mind, while away for 3 weeks. Anthony is a dependable and responsible young man that will go the extra step...as we found out. Our dog Luci needed some medication, Anthony made a trip to pick up the medication and he took a photo to send to me to confirm. A rain storm came along, roof began to leak and again, Anthony was up to the task to take care on the leakage inside the house, reached out to us and sent photos as well. We are so very lucky to have had Anthony stay at our home and watch our furbabies and we will continue to use Anthony.
Ella is phenomenal! Highly recommend. I was able to be out of town and not worry about my babies thanks to Ella's stellar pet care! She stayed overnight, played with my Pup frequently and sent my lots of updates & photos. My senior cat has multiple medications and she made sure that Cheeto had all his meds. She took care of both my cat & dog and was an absolute delight. Next time I travel I will absolutely book Miss Ella again for pet care!
This is our third time working with Cat and the experience remains stellar. She is communicative and caring (our dog clearly loves her!), and she coordinated with family members in the area when an issue came up with our house while we were gone. We have already booked her for a fourth time for an upcoming single-day need.

Maddi was amazing with my fluff kids when I was out of town!! I was a nervous Mom because of my reactive pup and very shy cat, and everyone did great with Maddi. She’s even the first person other than me whom said shy cat has ever approached and allowed to snuggle him! Great communication, went the extra mile taking the trash out before I got home, and left the place and the kiddos in great shape! Highly recommended!!
