“Kalliah did an excellent job with our two dogs on our 4 day trip away. She kept us up to date daily with pictures of our dogs and communication was excellent throughout the duration. When we arrived home, the dogs were happy and healthy. We will definitely use Kalliah again.”
“Emily was fantastic and exactly what I needed after my existing plans fell through. She stepped up with little notice and did a great job of taking care of Daisy for me. Thank you again!”
“All three of our pets were well taken care of and our house looks exactly the same as when we left. We got pictures daily so I wasn’t worried about them at all!”
“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”
“Kayla took care of my two pups while we were away for a long weekend. She wasn’t fazed by my grumpy old guy…. She just rolled with his moods and communicated to us daily. Made it a bit easier to leave my babies home while we were away.”
“Logan pet sat for our cat Bella for a week while we away. Bella is a senior with special needs. Logan came by to meet with Bella a few times before we went away. Logan then stayed at our home caring for Bella while attending college classes. We called every few days so Bella could hear our voice. Having Logan with Bella allowed us to be away knowing she was being well cared for and not alone for long periods of time. We will be in touch with Logan again to sit for Bella.”
“Danielle was great with Mocha and Ezzy! Sent us a lot of cute pictures and videos. We had no worries and would definitely ask her to watch them again sometime. Thank you so much!”
“Jared was great, attentive and communicated well. Was glad to have someone caring for my dog while he was in cone head mode and had to stay behind on Thanksgiving! Would definitely re-book”
“It was great having Mo stay at our house over the long weekend. We were sad to not have our pups camping with us but it was nice to know they were in good hands! Received many great photos of our pets relaxing around the house and eating meals. Came home to no mess and happy animals. Would definitely hire her again in the future!”
“Hayleigh made our vacation so much better to not worry about our pups! She is trustworthy and a true blessing to our family. We will definitely be using her on all our trips if she's available! Our dogs loved her and our family couldn't be happier with the experience ❤”
“Jack did a fantastic job watching our two pups for a week. The communication was top notch; we received daily updates with lots of pics. Our pups were in good hands!”
About: Owner of seven dogs since 1998. Currently have two dogs. I have walked and cared for numerous friends' pets as well as my own for over 25 years. Semi-retired, part-time work schedule allows for flexible options for pet care any day of the week. Open weekend schedule also allows for extended pet-care options. As a pet owner for 28 years, am acutely aware of paramount safety procedures both inside and outside the home. I understand the importance of maintaining safety of a pet with leash and/or harness, and awareness of nearby animals or humans who may be problematic.
“Excellent care for our 3 dogs and cat. Cara made sure our special needs dog got what he needed. Cara respected our home and left it as she found it. Great communication throughout. We will book her again!”
About: My family has had dogs all of my life. I personally trained our family dog when I was between the ages of 10-12. My husband and I currently have a senior dog at home (10 year old Newfoundland) that I lovingly care for. I will be working part time (three days per week) starting in October but am currently not working for the next couple of months so I have very open availability (likely every day). I have a very friendly, docile dog (a spayed female Newfoundland) at home to keep your doggies company while staying in our home. My husband and I live in a large single family home. The house is 2 stories but we typically keep our dog on the bottom floor due to her age. All staircases have the ability to be closed off with a door. We have an unfenced yard. We have a very walkable neighborhood that allows for long walks if that is what your dog likes. I am a very active person who exercises daily so I can accommodate high energy pups! We also allow pets on the furniture if cuddling is more your dog's thing!
“We used Tosya for a week stay with our two dogs. She was respectful of our home and took great care of our two dogs! She provided updates on them which was much appreciated and left the house as she found it. We would highly suggest Tosya for dog sitting and hope to use her again in the future!”
“Nadine is wonderful! She is an experienced rabbit sitter and gave Frankie the best care. She is kind, attentive, and a clear animal lover. We knew Frankie was in good hands. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Amanda has been amazing! She’s done a couple of drop-ins for me to give my cat her medication, and did a long weekend stay at my house. She left my place in the same state it was in when I left, and provided updates at the end of each visit.”
“Rebecka is kind, thoughtful and detail oriented. She cared well for our anxious senior pup and made decisions in Mellows best interest 100% of the time. Rebecka is terrific! 100/100 recommend her-”
“Kayla is awesome! She went the extra mile to make sure our pets were well taken cared for and felt comfortable, also given us the peace of mind on a persistent basis while we were away on trip, regarding our 5 fur babies. Kayla is very organized, reliable and flexible to the pets needs and schedule. I would highly recommend!”
“Melanie was the very best furbaby sitter these mama’s could have wished for! This was the first time we have ventured away for the night and Melanie’s experience and relaxed vibe set us completely at ease. Our Stella and Millie loved Melanie!! Stella can be a bit shy with strangers and within 5 minutes she was snuggled right up with Melanie. Stella and Millie are looking forward to her return when our adventure arises.”

His no-nonsense attitude and dedication make him a perfect fit for Rover. John has always been great with both cats and dogs, handling them with patience and kindness. I’ve seen firsthand how he genuinely loves animals—he’s helped me with my cat multiple times before even joining Rover, always going above and beyond. His experience, reliability, and willingness to help make him an ideal pet caregiver. I have no doubt he will provide excellent care for any pet lucky enough to be in his hands!”

I used rover for the first time and found Melanie when our sitter backed out last minute. We have never put the dogs with anybody other than family and she was absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend her enough to have the peace of mind that we had while we were away and everything that she did for us was truly amazing! Thank you again for making our vacation, truly peaceful, knowing that our babies were in the best hands! 💙💙🩷
