“Stephanie took great care of our 1.2-year-old golden retriever, Bidu, while staying at our home for five nights, and we had a wonderful experience with her! She was responsible, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house just as we left it. Her updates throughout gave us peace of mind, and it was clear that Bidu felt comfortable and well looked after. We’d happily have Stephanie stay with him again in the future!”
“Shinhyun is very gentle and sweet. Luca is hppy with her. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy dogsitter.”
“Dogs love Jacob because he makes their time together magical! My dog would smell him from a block away before their walks and get so excited. I highly recommend Jacob and his outstanding way with dogs!”
“I have asked Michelle to cat-sit my kitty twice now and she has been great! My cat has separation anxiety and not only is Michelle great at calming her down, she plays with her a lot. She does a great job of making sure the litter is scooped, water is filled, and food bowls full. She has also been very respectful of my home; she is very clean. I will be asking her to cat-sit my Nugget in the future.”
“Leslie was absolutely incredible and hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve had. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was to our dog, Mimo, and to our space throughout the holiday weekend. Not only was she prompt and communicative, but she went above and beyond to ensure Mimo was taken care of, and always sending great updates in the process. We’re looking forward to the next opportunity Leslie can watch again!”
“It was a great pleasure to have Danyel look after our little guy and home. As a siamese, he isn't the quietest cat to look after and has a particular set of routine he needs to follow but Danyel looked after him to the T! She was incredibly responsive, communicative, and went above and beyond the required ask to make sure our home and cat is burdened free by the time we got back from our trip. Thanks Danyel!”
“Gabriela is an excellent pet sitter! She did a fantastic job taking care of my two senior fur babies! She is reliable and kept me updated with pics of the kids while I was gone. I look forward to hiring her again when needed!”
“Elizabeth did a wonderful job caring for our little dog, Coco. She connected well with Coco during our meet and greet. Coco is a bit shy and she warmed to Elizabeth immediately. While we were away, Elizabeth sent us updates of how the two of them were doing. She also took excellent care of our home — leaving things nicer than she found them! I would highly recommend her as a dog and house sitter. We are looking forward to having her back!”
“Angel did a great job with the pups during the home stay. They seemed very happy and well taken care of when we got back from our trip! I would rebook with Angel again in the future.”
“Camila was great with my pup, Howie! He has stranger danger and barks a lot at new people but she was very patient with him and he warmed up to her quickly! She sent updates and picks while I was away which I really appreciated. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“Alyssa was great! She is extremely nice and it’s clear she loves spending time with dogs. She had great communication and I appreciated the updates. I’m sure my dog had a great time with her and we’ll be rebooking her in the future! I highly recommend her :)”
“We usually leave our dog and cat with friends or family but having just moved to the area we needed to find an alternative arrangement. We were a little apprehensive about using Rover for the first time but after meeting Tracey, her warm demeanor instantly put us (and the pets) at ease. During the stay, Tracey maintained consistent communication, providing regular updates and even sending cute pics and videos of the pets enjoying their time. It was so reassuring to know they were in such capable hands and it really helped us to relax and enjoy our time away not worrying about the fur kids! In addition to her exceptional care for the pets, Tracey also took great care of our home and left everything neat and tidy. Overall, we cannot recommend her highly enough and we are so lucky to have found such a reliable and qualified carer on Rover. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to look after our pets.”
“Malia was a joy to work with. She not only cared so well for our 2 dogs, but did an outstanding job house sitting. We came home to clean sheets, laundry going and happy dogs! I will definitely keep using her as a house/dog sitter, she’s incredible!”
“I had a great experience with Caitlin. She was prompt to all of our scheduled meetings in the run up to the actual house sit. During the house sit itself she was great with communication and provided pictures of my dog while I was away. Overall a very responsible and professional house/pet sitter who I will use again.”
“Amani was a wonderful house sitter and we felt at ease knowing Marley was in good hands. She’s so thoughtful and Marley didn’t seem like he missed us at all (which is always the goal). She’s the best!”
“It's nice to be on a trip and know your home and fur babies are well taken care of. Stacey kept us informed with pictures and text messages to let us know how our pups (2 big dogs) were doing. I think we missed them more than they missed us for sure! When we got back, you could tell they were missing the extra attention and play time Stacey gave them. Would recommend and request Stacey for house/dog sitting again.”
About: Throughout my lifetime, I've owned and taken care of dogs, cats, and even rabbits! I have skills in giving a lot of love to your dog and love long walks as well. I always prioritize the safety and cleanliness of your dog because I believe these practices are what promote your furry friend's physical and mental health! I'm unemployed at the moment and have most free time to play with your dog! If you choose to board with me, I will walk your dog for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night. After walking, I will feed your dog and play with them. If you choose me to walk your dog, I will walk your dog with the amount of time you desire. I have a fenced yard so your dog can play in my backyard. I will also put on the leash before opening the door for walks. I also have a cute Shih-Tzu Poodle mix dog that is well behaved and loves other dogs.She understands boundaries and will give your dog space. She's very calm and super friendly! For house-sitting or drop-ins, I will be respectful of your home and will always clean after myself and the pets! Please let me know if there are any requirements that need to be met when you're gone, such as no pets on the couch, no treats at a certain time, etc! Pictures, and videos will be sent every couple hours and FaceTime calls can be as frequent as you want! Whatever it takes, my priority are the dog's safety and well being and to make sure you are at peace of mind!
“Estela was very professional and friendly towards our dog. Somehow our dog instantly bonded with her and even though he has separation anxiety, with Estela he was quite comfortable and calm. I would like to request her service again.”
“Quynh was the best! Caring TLC for our geriatric bulldog and active play for our others! Excellent communication! Would definitely feel comfortable having her again! Thank you!”
