“Super sweet to help out super last minute as we got stuck 10 hours away. Our poor babies had pooped inside and she picked it all up so we wouldn’t come back to a total mess. She was also amazing with our GSD who can be shy/timid. We will definitely use her again!!”
“Deidre came to the rescue when our plans fell through for our dog last minute- she was able to come care for and let him out for a few days! She sent lots of pictures- and took good care of him.”
“Alexandra was able to drop in on a somewhat short notice. This was her first visit and the pups seemed to feel comfortable. Will use her again in the near future.”
“Nicole was AMAZING! She was so caring and personable. I couldn't be more thankful for her patience with being pretty new to ROVER! Definitely recommend!”
“Nathan came through at the last minute for us…. Everything has been great. Nathan has kept me updated on how my dog Bear did outside the normal report. I’m very happy with the job Nathan is doing and hope he stays with us.”
“Megan is our fave! Always willing to come see our Roxie girl, even booking her last minute! We’re so sad she’s moving away. She will be missed!”
“Megan was fantastic and always kept us informed how her buddies were doing. She sent great pictures and updates. We will definitely be using Megan again”
“Exactly as last time we booked Cheyenne, she was communicative and so sweet! I feel like my puppies were well looked after. Will definitely book again!”
About: Hello, My name is Mei, I am a nurse. My husband Mitchell is a software developer. My husband works from home and I only work 2 days a week in a hospital. We have two children, Leon and Lily. We have been dog sitting since 2014. We also have three dogs Sasa, Pawpaw, and Loot. We adopted Loot on our vacation in Arizona in 2022. Our dogs are well socialized with other dogs. They will start playing with new friends in no time! We have a BIG fenced yard and lots of dog toys! We have experience taking care of senior dogs on multiple daily medications and also little puppies. So just bring your fur babies to our house, and I guarantee they will have LOTS of fun and attention! My husband works from home. I work 2 days a week in a hospital. There will be somebody home throughout the week to watch the dogs. We have a fenced yard and we also put chicken wires all around it to make sure it is completely safe for the dogs. We make sure that dogs have potty break at least every 2 hours. My husband's office is in the walkout basement. He keeps the dogs around him in the basement when he is working.
“Beth is SO great with my babies! She seems to be able to tell when they’re ready to come in! She’s a gem!”
About: I've had pets for ages, cats & dogs. Right now I don't have any, home is lacking! I have a special heart for smaller dogs! Right now, I'm working from home part time. So am pretty flexible watching your pet. My preference is to have your pet here in my home. I have a large fenced in back yard, dogs seem to love roaming in it! I prefer to crate at night and have always crated my dog when leaving home. I find dogs seem more secure when crated.
“Maddie is great! We have hired her for two vacations now, she is reliable for check-ins with my group of kittens and takes photos to let us know they’re doing well. We will definitely be using Maddie again in the future!”
“My dogs can be a lil on the hyper side and she handled them so well! She was very nice and took great care of my doggos. I would definitely ask Abigail to care for them again in the future.”
“Maia and Brent did a fabulous job taking care of our 2 boys (ie. our cats) while our regular pet sitter was out of town. We appreciated the flexibility of booking last minute for a holiday week. She was very professional and showed great knowledge when we introduced her to our dog (who we were taking with us on our trip). We won’t hesitate to leave all of them with her in the future. She sent us photos with updates at each check-in and even hunted down a missing package in our mailbox to bring it inside for us.”
“Alex was great! I felt completely comfortable leaving my dogs with him. Knowing he had dog training experience gave me peace of mind while I was out of town. And he was great with both of them - even my high energy pup that doesn't always take to strangers. He took to Alex right away!”
“Catherine is wonderful with all the animals, it's clear she loves what she does and really cares. I'm so happy, I have peace of mind knowing my babies are I such good hands when I'm away. Thank you Catherine!”
About: I've worked at a few different clinics and shelters throughout the years. I foster for the local shelter and help friends with their fur babies! I work full time during the day, but work 5 min away from my home and I can go check on things throughout the day. I have a house with a fenced yard. I have a cat that sticks to herself mostly. I have foster dogs coming and going. I use gates to separate if needed
“Very good to work with. My dogs were well cared for.”
“Really went above and beyond”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs since I’ve been in middle school. I’m also a dog bather at the moment so I have plenty experience with dogs. I’m working part time right now and I love to work with animals. There will be lots of time for me to spend with your furry friends!! I have a fenced in yard and I have 2 other very friendly dogs that get to roam around. They get frequent bathes as well.

Ruskin Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
We appreciate the willingness to work with our biggest dog who’s very anxious. Kept us up to date on how the animals were doing and provided cute photos
Mariah was wonderful! She made sure our senior cat got his medicine twice a day. We will absolutely use her in the future to check in on our crew!
Repeat customer of Colleen. Last time was house sitting but only gone 2 days and she could only do drop-ins. She came 3x a day while we were out of town and stayed for a while one day so the one crated dog could stay out longer. No doubt the dogs were well cared for and she checked in every visit sending pictures and notes.
