“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”

“Rubin seemed to really enjoy his stay! Beverly kept me posted about Rubin throughout the day with pictures and video, and she was very attentive. I would definitely leave Rubin with Beverly again!”

“Jess is wonderful. I have engaged her twice to board my American Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Both times issues arose, one was a health issue and another where my flight was cancelled and I needed extra days of care. She cheerfully accommodated the situation and put my mind at ease during a stressful time. She takes great care of Halle, who is a rescue and can be reactive towards other dogs. I usually have to give a lot of instructions for sitters, but not so much with Jess, she just knows what to do. I especially noticed that Halle was more relaxed after staying with Jess. Now that she is used to her, I feel really comfortable leaving Halle with Jess.”

“Queeny provided a safe and welcoming home away from home for our two dogs. She sent us photos or videos every day to show that the dogs were healthy and happy, and we could tell that the dogs were stress-free when we came to collect them. We like the fact that there was an enclosed yard for them to run in, and that they were the only dogs in the home. We will definitely use Queeny again!”

“Steven was great. My pups felt right at home. Steven is very accommodating, and I would highly recommend him as a sitter for your babies. I appreciate such a caring person while I traveled it made me feel very comfortable.”

“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”

“Theresa and AK were wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend them. The meet and greet was really helpful in making sure it was a good fit and being able to discuss the arrangements beforehand. They are quick and reliable communicators and we felt confident and comfortable that our two dogs were in good hands. We dropped off our dogs for our wedding weekend and never once had to worry about them thanks to regular updates and checkins from Theresa and AK. Thank you both!”

“Thanks so much again Rahied! I love how much Jack loves staying with you! Thank you for being so awesome and sending so many pictures and video! It's so wonderful to get pictures of him when we're travelling!! You're the best!”

“Nani had a longer stay with Cody and I had no concerns! He did a great job following additional instructions due to the longer stay and kept me updated throughout my trip. I feel confident in Cody and his ability to intervene and mediate between dogs in case any overexcitement or aggression happens. I feel comfortable leaving Nani with him knowing she’s in good hands!”

“Sofia was very patient, attentive and sweet with my senior dog. When he got an upset tummy, as he sometimes does, she handled it like a champ, contacting me, cleaning up, keeping him calm and comfortable, reaching out to Rover vet line. When he was feeling better, she took him for walks - his favorite! Thank you Sofia!”

“Kerri is an exceptional care giver for our dog Bentley. This was his first time ever with a sitter, and I must admit I was nervous. She put all my fears to rest with her daily updates with pictures and videos. She is a very loving and kind person who has the gift to care for dogs.”

“Enaes did a fantastic job handling my very nervous pooch and was very flexible when I was stuck out of town due to the weather. She provided updates and I felt comfortable having Pheo in her care.”

“Kayla took great care of my baby Chico. She was very nice and sent messages and updates the whole time during his stay with her. I would definitely recommend her. My dog don’t even walk with me because he’s lazy and he was walking with her. She’s the dog whisperer. Love her”


About: Hello! My pet experience consists of having my own doggy for the past 20 years. I rescued my older dog and then got a new puppy. My old Rose passed away but I had to give her eye medication and oral medication everyday so I am comfortable with that. I also grew up with family dogs and cared for those dogs. My availability to watch your dog is very flexible. I work from home a most days a week so it is a high chance that I could work from home while caring for your pup. I am a very caring person. I have a PhD in human development and family science and work in the social work field. I have a giant heart and would love to care for your doggie! As a stay-at-home worker, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, timely feedings, regular potty breaks, and plenty of play and cuddle time. My flexible schedule means I can easily accommodate pets’ needs, whether that’s sticking to a specific routine or being available for spontaneous walks and care. Being home also helps me monitor behavior closely and respond quickly to any changes, making pets feel secure, loved, and well looked after. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets have access to cozy rest areas, regular outdoor time, and plenty of affection and play throughout the day. I maintain a calm, clean space and follow any routines or special instructions provided. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to the pet’s established schedule to minimize stress. I provide regular updates, ensure fresh food and water, maintain cleanliness, and give each pet the love and attention they’re used to.
“Yelitsa took exceptional care of my pet, Enoki. I was totally comfortable knowing that my pet was in good hands. The daily update pictures informed me that Enoki was happy. Excellent service!!!”

“Meredith was the best pet sitter I could have asked for. She was so sweet with my dogs and kept me updated with lots of videos and photos. You can tell how much she loves animals and it felt like she treated my pups as her own. Will absolutely be using her in the future!!”

“Veronica did a wonderful job taking care of my dog-Rosie! Our meet and greet was friendly, welcoming, and personable. Veronica is very knowledgeable with dogs and asked all the right questions. She definitely made sure that I was comfortable with her care before I dropped off my fur baby! Her communication was outstanding as well. Everyday I was given updates with photos and videos along with Rosie’s daily progress. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter. I will be rebooking Veronica when I need someone in the future. Thank you again!”

“Kadi was an outstanding caretaker of my pup Billie. She is a great communicator and a really warm and caring person. I didn’t worry at all about Billie while she was in Kadi’s care. I got lots of pictures and multiple updates each day. She kept her active and happy. I will definitely book with Kadi again.”

“I appreciate Mou and Yanling because they did a wonderful job caring for my Belly Belle! They regularly sent photos and videos of my furbaby. She returned home as happy as the day she arrived to them.”

Russell Woods dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lauren was great with Ballerina! Agreed to take her on with short notice for a long weekend trip even considering her medication/anxious needs. Kept us well updated with daily photos and even took her on walks despite the snowy Michigan winter. Ballerina seems to have made a great new friend :)

Kira's been our rover since we moved to Detroit, and our dog's hung out with her and her dog many times at this point. Our dog clearly loves staying over, which is rare for her, and it speaks to Kira's ability to care for animals and be responsible and present. Will continue to trust her with my dog for as long as she's willing!

Veronica was simply amazing! From start to finish; Excellent communication, very attentive and transparent with expectations. Home very neat and clean and kept us updated daily with adorable pics and videos of T3ddy (Teddy) having a great time. I felt our pup was in a safe, warm, clean loving environment. Veronica is highly recommended that your fur baby will be respected and cared for.
