“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.”


“Both Emily and Veronica were wonderful. They were kind enough to come over the walk our two dogs with my husband and me before their 5-day stay so we could all get to know each other. The house was spotless upon our return and new dogfood was purchased for us so there was plenty when we returned. Highly recommend the two either separately or together.”


“We recently had the pleasure of having Sam watch our two dogs for nearly an entire week, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention he provided. Sam went above and beyond, even rearranging his work schedule to make sure our dogs were well looked after. He maintained their regimented routine, preparing their unique meals twice a day and taking them out for potty breaks and exercise an additional 3-4 times per day. His conscientiousness really showed in everything he did. Sam stayed overnight in our home, ensuring our dogs felt safe, secure, and comfortable in our absence. His communication was excellent—he sent us multiple photo updates throughout each day, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from the photos (and when we returned!) that our dogs were happy, calm, and well cared for. Honestly, I don’t think they even realized we were gone! Sam is incredible with animals, and it’s obvious he has a natural connection with dogs. He’s also friendly, respectful, and trustworthy. Knowing he was there allowed us to enjoy a much-needed vacation without any worry. We’re already planning to book Sam again for our next trip! If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and dedicated to caring for your pets as if they were his own, we can’t recommend Sam highly enough. Thank you again, Sam!”


“Christina is excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and videos that completely eased my mind. When I returned, [Dog’s Name] was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious that she treated them like family. The house was spotless, routines were followed perfectly. She is very reliable, kind, and truly attentive. She came out three times to get accustom to our dogs routine prior to us leaving out of town. She is everything you could hope for in a pet sitter. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pup, and I highly recommend her.”


“Jessica was fantastic watching Bucky for me while went to the movies. Both Bucky and I have separation anxiety so I wanted someone with him. She took excellent care of him, playing with him, making sure he ate, and even walked him twice. She was very sweet and professional I will book with her again jd”


“Jeremiah house sat and looked after our two dogs, he kept us updated throughout our trip, sending pictures and recapping the events of their day. He was courteous, professional and our dogs seemed to thrive under his care. This was our first experience with Rover and we really appreciate the level of attention and communication we received. We will definitely book with him again!”


“Samantha was awesome with my large breed puppers! She was super sweet with him and handled him will and he became very comfortable with her. I highly recommend booking sam! 🤗”


“Another great experience with a new Rover for our dogs. Our normal Rover was out of town and these 2 were excellent to work with. I will be working with them again in the near future.”


“Saved my can when another pet sitter failed to follow instructions and I had to fire them from a far. Roxanne came in and took great care of my babies. They were calm and happy when I got home.”


“Destiny was fabulous. Lots of pictures, videos, and check-ins, and the dogs loved her. Returned to a house in good order, happy dogs, and great relief at having found MY BABYSITTER!!”


“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.”


“Stormy is a dog magnet! My dogs took to her like they'd known her all of their lives the first second they met her! Stormy is very professional and is so kind. I recommend her highly.”


“This was my first time in about 3 years of having to leave Xena alone with a sitter, I'm not sure who was more anxious, me or the dog. After the meet and greet with Leah, I knew that her and Xena would be friends. Leah was great at keeping my nerves at bay by providing updates and sending pictures. Xena was genuinely excited to have Leah watch her and that makes me happy. I could not recommend Leah enough - she was fantastic.”


“Dena is amazing and warmhearted when it comes to loving my fur babies! I feel very much at peace and at ease knowing she is in my home giving my babies the attention they need and deserve! I will have her as my nanny moving forward knowing my babies were also very happy and loved on from the pics she sent.”


“Gabby is great! She stayed with our 4 fur babies. She got our scared one to come out of her shell the first time she met her. That never happens even for our family members. She also took them on longer walks than I had been able to. She took great care of them even with all 4 being completely different personalities.”


“Hannah did a great job watching our 3 large dogs! They were comfortable around her, and she was very responsive throughout our trip keeping us update!”


“Bella was very friendly, provided great care for the critters (while they provided her entertainment lol), and kept the house just as we left it. Would definitely use her again!”


About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, needs, and comfort. I’ve also been a dedicated dog mom to my two pups for more than 7 years, so I know firsthand the love, patience, and attention that pets deserve. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or senior, I’m confident in my ability to provide thoughtful, reliable care tailored to their unique personality. Caring for your pet is more than just my full-time job—it’s something I truly love and feel honored to do. I’m here whenever you need someone you can trust, whether it’s during the week, on weekends, early mornings, late nights, or overnight. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. I provide a safe, cozy, and welcoming home where your dog will feel comfortable and loved. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with my two friendly dogs—a Chihuahua mix and a Boxer—who are both well-socialized and gentle. If your dog prefers or requires their own space, I have a spacious crate available to ensure they feel secure. In my home, pets are treated like family—they’re welcome on the furniture, including the bed, so they can feel right at home. We also enjoy relaxing on the small patio in the mornings, soaking up some fresh air and starting the day together in a calm, peaceful way. When I’m caring for your dog or cat in your home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at ease in their own space. I take great pride in treating your pet—and your home—with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, snuggles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll follow your routine closely so your pet feels as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. You can count on me to provide updates, lots of love, and reliable care every step of the way.

Dena is amazing and warmhearted when it comes to loving my fur babies! I feel very much at peace and at ease knowing she is in my home giving my babies the attention they need and deserve! I will have her as my nanny moving forward knowing my babies were also very happy and loved on from the pics she sent.

Miranda took great care of my 2 puppies! She was on time to my house and sent lots of updates and photos of my dogs having a blast. Thanks for taking such care of my babies!

These two are so communicative, and incredibly kind when it comes to caring for our pets. They have worked hard to make sure our boy Whiskey gets all his medications. I contact them first every time we need a sitter!!!

Arianna watched my dog in my home on a last minute notice and sent pictures throughout her sitting time which I really appreciated. I recommend Arianna for your pet sitting!

Victoria maintained communication all weekend. Very helpful and made this experience very easy for Toro and I. Definitely recommend.

Taylor always does an excellent job with our six pets. We have four cats and two dogs and they all adore her. She is great at giving us updates with pictures and video when we are away. I can not recommend her highly enough :)

Keishli was absolutely amazing taking care of our wheelie baby Archie! It was our first time having a sitter watch him for a full week after his disability, and I cannot thank Keishli enough for taking such good care of him and keeping us updated throughout the week. Archie warmed up to her right away, and we can’t wait to book again for future house visits!

Lindsey was great! We will definitely use her again. Great communication and she sent us lots of pictures of the furry kids!

Justine did wonderfully taking care of our 3 fur babies and our home. She was able to keep their routine while we were away. Highly recommend Justine.

I can not say enough amazing things about Robyn! She came to meet with us beforehand to get to to know the dogs, and to make sure it was a good personality fit. Our dogs, Rory and Frankie, took to her right away. She was extremely communicative and timely prior to, during, and after the booking. Robyn stayed at our home for 4 nights and 5 days. She updated us daily with the best pictures and messages. She even watered our garden and took out/brought in the recycling and trash. The dogs ADORED her, and we did too. We are very careful about who we give full access to our home, and are beyond very protective of our fur babies. We came home to our home nicer than we left it to very happy, healthy dogs. I recommend Robyn with enthusiasm, and without reservation-just don't book the dates we need! Ha! ;)

Such an amazing sitter! She took great care of my 3 large dogs who absolutely loved her. She was very respectful, timely, and easy to communicate with.

Maddie was an amazing dog sitter and I could not have asked for anything more! My dog has severe separation anxiety and I was very uneasy about leaving her for an extended period of time, but from the impression I got from the meet and greet before hand I felt a little more comfortable, and after the first picture they sent me I could tell from the look on her face that Shiek was doing great! This gave me the peace of mind to let me enjoy my trip, and the updates and pictures they sent me through out would make my day. I would highly recommend Maddie to anyone looking for somebody to take care of or spend some time with their pets and I will definitely be reaching out to her again for any future Rover needs!

She did amazing with our animals. Was in communication the whole time and sent regular updates with pictures. I highly recommend Victoria as a sitter.

Adriana was professional, friendly, communicative, flexible and did an amazing job taking care of my babies!

Amazing, caring and communicative! Alexis has not only been wonderful to my animals but so kind and flexible as I’m out the country and the time change made some texting on my end difficult. Please book her if you love your babies

Last minute trip and Leslie was quick to reply, stop by for an introduction. During the stay received updates and photos. Babies were happy, played and even eat as if they knew her all along (not normal from my spoiled boys). Home was well cared for and even cleaned sheets and remade bed. Will rebook.
