“Valerie was amazing with my dog. She gets extremely anxious and has bad separation anxiety and Valerie quickly made her feel right at home. When we came to pick her up, she didn’t get excited or pull on her leash to come to me, which is usually what she will do! I would definitely use Valerie again and so should you!!!”

“I had an amazing experience with Jen, and so did my dog Pearl. Pearl is an anxious pup but Jen went above and beyond to keep her calm and happy. I got a ton of photo updates and just felt so relieved and happy knowing that my dog was having a great time while I was away!”

“As always, our dog loves hanging out with Elizabeth and Phillip. I know he can be a handful but they don't seem to mind. Really appreciate their patience.”

“Erin had great communication, flexible with our drop off and pick up. Erin & George sent photos throughout Lola’s short stay. We were referred by friends and we are so happy that we found our new sitters.”

“I can't thank Missy enough for her help with the pups! They adore her and I'll be using her for the rest of my time here in Indiana. I've booked with her several times and highly recommend her. She was flexible with the drop off/pick up times, great with communication, and I can tell my pups love her and Willie <3”

“Heather has been wonderful with Ollie. Her frequent photos keep this dog mom happy and I know he is well taken care of. She administers meds and cares for my rambunctious pup. Having a trusted DogSitter is wonderful. Highly recommend her!”

“Lori is great, super warm and friendly. Uhtey had an amazing experience! She ensured he felt comfortable and had a great time while we were away. Her messages and photos were great updates to make us feel comfortable that he was happy and healthy while we were gone.”

“Ryo was fantastic with our Beagle, Maple. He was incredibly patient and kind and made our dog feel right at home. We would love to work with him again in the future!”

“Eliane was amazing!!! She made us feel so comfortable and provided regular updates with great photos. She took our dog on long walks and spent quality time with her throughout our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog!”

“Lola had an amazing time with Melissa and her family! They sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Lola was treated like part of the family and received lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter, and we would definitely book with them again!”

“Kaitlin provided excellent care for my older, special needs dog. She reassured me my girl would be well cared for, and sent prompt updates with pictures as she was settling in on the couch. I also appreciated Kaitlin's flexibility with scheduling. I am beyond satisfied in the care provided and would 100% recommend. Thank you so much, Kaitlin!!”

“Ziggy seemed to have a great time with Jeremy & Laura! It was only a short stay, but Ziggy seemed happy in the pictures I received from them. I’ll look to use them again in the future to dogsit!”

“Madison was awesome! She took great care of Sweet Dee and kept me updated with cute pics and messages. Dee looked so happy and relaxed when I got home. Definitely booking Madison again — highly recommend!”

“Maxi had a great time with Breanna and her dog Nala! Breanna kept us informed, sending us lots of photos and videos, she took Maxi for walks and played fetch a lot with him! We’ll definitely recommend Breanna!”

“Heather was absolutely fantastic. She was easy to communicate with and readily available for any questions. Our little guy had so much with Heather. She sent pictures and videos, daily, which was a nice touch. We will be booking her again. Highly recommend.”

About: Hi! My name is Emm! I am a queer and queer-friendly person and active in my community. I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I raised puppies, walked massive dobermans, and at one point took care of 13 dogs at once! Feeding, watering, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet like you would are my top priorities. I lived with my father after becoming an adult and took care of his cat. Animals of all kinds are fine by me! I'm available at any time! When I am not working, I spend my time with my partner, listen to music, and practice my culinary skills. If I stay at your home, I will respect your pets and your things like you're my family. Your pets will be pampered and well cared for. I'll take great care of them, and give them plenty of love and attention.
“Daphne was wonderful! She took Lola as a last minute booking and we couldn't be happier! We received daily picture updates. Lola was treated like a little princess with lots of love! 🩷 Highly recommend Daphne!”

Russell dog parents share their Rover experiences
Destiny treated my 2 dogs like her own - my nervous 12 year old ate every meal, got his medications, and had a great time. Besides just walking them, they got to go to our dog park. Her photo updates were prefect - I knew they were happy so I could enjoy my vacation.

I just relocated to the area and finding a new dog sitter was a pain point and a top priority after leaving an exceptional one behind. Found Emily through a neighborhood group and was instantly comforted by her kind approach, thoughtful questions and obvious love for animals. Just finished my dog's first visit and it was clear Emily earned his trust almost immediately. Regular updates and flexibility added to the experience. We are thrilled to have found a reliable and committed new sitter in Emily.

The puppies were quite unnerved by our being gone. This means they were well cared for by Reena. They were quite excited to see us again but that is their daily reaction to our returning home. We appreciazed the loving care and attemtion they were given Wr would like to tip Reena

Jaclyn was great with our dog. She was very kind to him and he warmed up to her right away. I felt comfortable leaving him in her care. Jaclyn also sent me several updates during his stay which I loved because I could tell he was at ease. I would definitely recommend her.
