“Kelsey was an awesome sitter who made the perfect accommodations for my best guy Gideon! She was very responsive, communicative and so kind. Looking forward to booking with her again ! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babe.”

“Mary was great! She accepted to look after our puppy with such short notice. I think Chai really enjoyed her company and we will definitely rebook!”

“I recently had the pleasure of having Jessica take care of my dog, Nala. I couldn't have been happier with the service provided. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog seemed happy and well-cared for. I will definitely be calling on Jessica for future dog-sitting needs. Highly recommend!”

“Very happy we found Sarah. She stayed with our two pups and kept us informed all throughout our getaway. She was responsive and followed our instructions—asking clarifying questions to be sure she was doing as we requested. I don’t want to tell everyone how wonderful she was because I want to keep her to ourselves!”

“Scott is great. Our dogs Asti & Maxwell were happy and healthy. Scott supplied pictures is the dogs enjoying there regular and a few new habits. It was such a relief to see our pups cared for and loved as if we were with them.”


“Heidi stayed wit our dogs while we were out of the country and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to stay with our sweet puppies. We got pictures and updates all the time and came back to happy puppies. It was so wonderful to be able to have them stay in our home instead of a kennel and Heidi provided a great stay for them. Thank you Heidi!”

“Laura did a great job with our dog. It was her first time with a dog sitter, but Laura was gentle and patient with her and gave her excellent care. She sent lots of good pictures and updates, too!”

About: I am currently on a pre veterinarian track at Jacksonville University. I have always loved working with animals from the zoo to vet clinics to my own animals. I have always loved to spend time with animals which is why I have decided to sign up for rover. I would love to express my passion and help others have complete comfort when leaving their furry friend. I want my clients to know they’re with someone who is passionate & experienced with all that is needed for their pets care. At home I have 3 dogs, 4 cats, 2 bunnies, and 2 guinea pigs! Everyday I experience hands on experience with pets feeding, cleaning, walking, and best of all giving them lots of love! At my clients home I make sure I go above and beyond to care for your pets! I will always be sure to make sure I clean up any mess, give your animal lots of love and comfort, and make sure all their energy is out whether that is throwing the ball outside, walks, or runs!
“The dogs settled in nicely while Laura was watching them. She understands dogs need time to warm up and was very gentle with them. She’s prompt and reliable.”

“Diana took great care of my boys while I was traveling on business. I really appreciated the pics and notes from her so I could keep up with how my little loves were.”

“Hannah was great! We just moved down and have no family or friends to help watch our 3 dogs. I messaged Hannah and she responded quickly and professionally. She came to meet the dogs and we felt very comfortable with her. While we were out of town, she messaged us several times with updates and pics. We really appreciated the communication and our dogs were very happy when we got home. Thanks Hannah, we will definitely be booking again!”

About: Started at 10 caring for my dog Cassie, then on to my sister’s ferrets and her dogs. I later fell in love with her cats as well and now I have two cats of my own that are my fur babies. I have also taken care of guinea pigs and hamsters. Non lethal snakes and lizards don’t bother me either. I currently work a fulltime job, but when I come home, caring for my two cats is my favorite thing. I love loving on them and they enjoy having my attention on them after I’ve been gone all day. Making sure they have their needs met with food, water, scooped litter boxes and clipped nails (once a month) is my priority. I approach animals who don’t know me with gentleness and patience. I let them come to me when they are ready and let them see I’m there for them. I’d try to create a safe environment by doing whatever makes them feel safe - offer a treat, talk gently, offer a favorite toy, etc.
“Haleigh did an amazing job caring for our two dogs. She kept their schedule of walks and feeding like they are used to. Lots of snuggles and walks and wonderful pictures showing their day. The house was clean and neat when we returned home. It was a joy having her, we look forward to having her the next time we travel.”

“Hands down she was the best rover doggie/house sitter we’ve had. Her communication was great and she was very attentive to our two doggies. She gave them lots of play time. We ran into an issue with our flights and got stuck an additional night out of town and Hannah was very willing to work with us and she helped us out tremendously! I would highly recommend Hannah and we would definitely like to have her sit for us again.”

“Kaitlyn stayed at our home with our two dogs for a long weekend and we were very pleased. At the meet and greet she asked good questions and sent messages while we were away. We returned home to a clean place and happy dogs. Will use her again.”

“I had a great experience with Leslie as my pet sitter! She followed all instructions carefully, kept the house just as I left it, and most importantly, took amazing care of my two dogs and two cats. She sent regular updates with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. I would absolutely trust her with my pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Siena was fantastic with our dog and cat. Our dog is very skittish, but Siena was very patient with her. She was on time and very friendly. We plan to hire Siena again!”

Laura was wonderful with our Lab who has pretty considerable separation anxiety. We felt safe and comfy leaving on a long road trip knowing she was there with him, and he was happy as a clam on our return. Calm and happy-a good indication he wasn’t overstressed during our trip. She provided photos and great communication. We look forward to booking her services again!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs and cat received! From the very beginning, Olivia was professional, reliable, and incredibly kind. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were in such loving and capable hands while i was away. I loved getting regular updates, photos, and messages that showed how happy and comfortable they were. It was obvious they were treated like family, not just “pets being watched.” When I came home, my animals were relaxed, happy, and their routines had clearly been maintained perfectly. The apartment was also spotless and well cared for. I truly appreciate the extra effort, patience, and genuine love shown to my fur babies. I highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter. I will absolutely be booking again!

Scott was AMAZING!!!! He communicated throughout our entire trip and sent pictures of their twice daily walks. Gypsy did not miss her humans one bit:) The house was as clean as when I left it. I could not even tell he had stayed here! So glad we found Scott, it makes it much easier leaving town knowing Gypsy is in such loving and capable hands.
Milinda, your professionalism & love for animals shine brightly! Thank you for caring for our dogs and cat as if they were your own! The fact that you put extra TLC into our Pug’s eye situation shows what an exemplary human you are! The house was left exactly as you found, & that is much appreciated! You’re responsible, trustworthy, communicative, & very caring! We can’t wait to utilize your services again! THANK YOU GENUINELY!

Our dogs loved Cynthia from the moment she arrived at our door. They even stepped outside to greet her (which they never do!) and were immediately seeking her attention.. we knew that was a great sign :) Communication was excellent, and our home was very well taken care of. We felt completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend!

Ashtyn did a great job with our two Frenchies! They were happy dogs and we can tell they were well cared for while we were gone. Ashtyn took very good care of our home, communicated clearly & timely and sent pics of them to us too. We appreciated her asking questions when she had a concern. We definitely recommend her! Thanks Ashtyn!
