“Kelsie was an amazing dog sitter! I got her recommendation from my neighbor, and I can see why. She took great care of my fur babies and gave me frequent updates and pictures, which made me feel at ease. I could enjoy my time knowing they were in good hands. My husband was also impressed with how easily the pups adapted to her. I highly recommend Kelsie to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Kelsie! Until next time ☺️”
“Always great to have Matthew watching our three dogs. He is in unfailingly reliable and attentive and they could not be in better hands. In addition, while watching the house he detected and saved us from a potentially disastrous water leak. Just great knowing Matthew is on the job.”
“Christina was great. She was able to sit for my dogs on short notice. She sent updates and pictures several times a day. Both of my dogs are senior and she understood what needs senior dogs have. I'll definitely be booking Christina again.”
“Cole did a great job watching the house and pet sitting! He spent lots of time with our dogs and was very communicative. He was also very flexible with our schedule which was very appreciated!”
“Julie spent the weekend with our two Great Pyrenees mixes and was wonderful. He came for a meet & greet prior to our trip and the girls really liked her. Julie was great at communicating before and during the trip, ensuring we were well informed while away. From the photos she shared, it looks like our girls didn’t miss us and loved their time with her. We will definitely utilize her services again.”
“Katherine and Sundeep took great care of our dog, Bodhi. During meet and greet, they were thorough with their questions so they would only reach out for daily updates. They wanted us to truly be on vacation! They asked where our cleaning supplies were so they could wash the sheets and towels before we got home. So generous and unexpected! It was wonderful to come to happy dog and clean house. Bodhi was pooped out from playing all weekend 😊”
“Awesome team that spoiled the pups and was super nice and accommodating. Will highly recommend and call again! For a first time using Rover they made it a great experience.”

“Braydon was 12/10. I will absolutely be using him in the future if he is available. My dogs were very obviously well taken care of, and it relived a lot of my stress while being gone. Communication and updates were better than any other rover or sitter i’ve used before.”
“Abby was so great with our girls and took such great care of them! She gave updates and sent pictures throughout her stay with them and I know they had the best time with her. We can’t wait till next time!”

“Alexander was wonderful! He followed instructions. Slade loved having a male to probably play a little tougher than what I do with him. Alexander even watered my outside plants. I know Slade enjoyed Alexander taking care of him and being a couch potato. I would TOTALLY recommend Alexander to take care of Slade again!”
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was 10. I’ve worked with cats and dogs with disabilities and those with a range of temperaments and needs. I am currently helping leash train a Great Pyrenees puppy. I’m currently working part time doing Door Dash and studying for the MCAT, so I’ll have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of pets! I am hard working and detail-oriented. I make sure to follow instructions to fit the specific needs of the pet I am taking care of.
“Nicole is amazing!! She genuinely cares about Bonnie and keeps me updated ever time she sees her. I know Bonnie loves her and I appreciate her taking care of my baby!❤️❤️❤️”
About: I have always been involved with animals. My dad actually used to have a chameleon breeding business. So at the time our house was pretty much a huge enclosure for them and it was a really awesome experience to be able to be apart of that. Ive loved dogs since i was a kid. I would have a huge attachment to my old dog mojo. Im currently working with with a few friends on landscaping somedays or going solo just cutting neighborhoods lawns. I will be able to make time for this as well. I walk my little dog almost everyday when im at my moms, he’s the only dog I have here. At my dads I have 2 big dogs and one little dog i will usually go on walks and play with them outside

Shady Oaks pet parents share their Rover experiences
Stormy was an absolute joy to have watch our dogs! Our house looked spotless, everything was so clean, and the dogs were well taken care of! We will 100% be asking Stormy to stay with our dogs again in the future!
Hannah was amazing with my babies. Very loving with them and kept us updated constantly with pictures and texts. I highly recommend her for your pets needs and your own peace of mind
Matthew was great again! Havana and Lexi love their sitter! Thank you Matthew for your pictures while we were gone and keeping us updated on the dogs each day. We are very grateful.
Stephanie is such an amazing person to rely on for help with your pets. Since moving to San Antonio, we have struggled to find a pet sitter we can trust with our cat and elderly dog. Stephanie took the time to meet with us and go over each detail about caring for them. She was extremely communicative and respectful of our home. She is also extremely knowledgeable about pets in general. We’re so grateful to have met her, and we look forward to working with her again. Thank you, Stephanie!
Aalayah did a great job caring for our dog. It was great seeing the pictures she sent….we could tell he was a happy boy! Communication was great and she responded very quickly. Job well done!
Took the absolute best care of my dog Sydney for 5 days and 4 nights. She took her on walks and adventures! I'd recommend Amelia and definitely will use her again.
Meghan was very responsive and proactive in letting me know about any concerns that arose with our fur babies during our trip. She took care of our home, which was tidy when we got back. She sent pics a few times during our booking, but maybe could have done this more just to reassure us. Overall, she is very sweet, seemed to do very well with our pets, and they and our house were in great shape when we got back. I would definitely book with Meghan again.
Julie was very dependable and sent pictures and updates on my dog and cat. My house was left clean and the beds made. Very satisfied.
Emily did an amazing job of house sitting while watching our cat and dog. She was very responsive and provided regular updates and pictures of our pets. We would welcome her back any time!
We could not possibly have asked for a better sitter. I was extremely nervous about leaving my babies alone for a week, but they adored Alexandra. At one point I was beginning to wonder if they preferred her to us! :) Because I felt so secure that my pets were being loved and well cared for I had a fantastic vacation. She was prompt, she complied with request for photos, she got to know each of the animals and put up with my corny jokes. She’s a gem of a sitter. I will 100% be hiring her again. I just hope she’s got space in her calendar! If you’re nervous about leaving your pets alone—Alexandra is the sitter for you. You’ll have nothing to worry about!
Jessica took care of our three dogs while we were out of town, and we couldn't be more grateful. From the moment we met her, it was clear she truly loves animals and knows how to handle multiple dogs with care and confidence. Each of our pups has a different personality and set of needs, and Jessica gave them all the attention, exercise, and affection they needed. She kept us updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and a clean house. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and responsible dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking her again!
Kathryn did a great job with our girls! We have a senior Great Dane that Kathryn was great with. She took such good care of them and our home. We would book with her again without hesitation.
We love Malori! She takes such great care of our babies. Treats them like they are her own. Would definitely recommend her!!
Cryslynn was seriously one of the best rovers we’ve had the pleasure of booking. She was very communicative, attentive, and really took care of our boys like they were her own. Would recommend her to anyone trying to find a reliable Rover for their fur babies!
Alex was very attentive and caring to our two dogs. We felt relaxed and comfortable leaving them and our home in her care.
Meranda watched our dogs and cats while we were on vacation. She had great communication and helped us tremendously with an issue that came up while we were gone. Additionally, she left the house very tidy. We will use her again!
