“Jackie was amazing! She stayed in our home and took great care of our dog and our house while we were away. She went above and beyond for us. We would definitely hire her again!”


“Melanie is a true animal lover, kind, and caring person. I felt very safe and secure going away for a few days and having her take care of my dogs and home. She was aware and asked questions that helped me know my dogs were in great hands. So glad to have found Melanie and look forward to having her watch my dogs again in the future!”


“Zachary was absolutely amazing as our dog sitter. He sent us tons of pictures and updates. Our dogs loved him when he came over for a meet and greet. We will definitely book again with him. He was a great houseguest as well. He even left a cute Polaroid picture of our doggies.”


“Emma was a delight!!! Milo loved her!!! Before staying, she came over to meet Milo and we knew right away he would get along great! The house was in the same as own as we left it. We would definitely ask Emma to stay with Milo again!”



“We can't say enough for Jessica and the attentive care provided to our dogs. Just two hours before we were to get on a plane, our elderly dog displayed some strange symptoms. We thought we might have to head to the emergency vet and delay our trip. We talked to the vet and to Jessica, and had an immediate sense of ease that even if the symptoms continued or progressed, she could and would handle it. Thankfully the symptoms went away. Jessica kept us updated and showed as much care to the concerned parents as to our pups. We are grateful for her!”


“Mikayla watched my girls for a weekend and I couldn’t be more thankful for her! She sent picture updates and made sure my babies were taken care of all weekend long. Will definitely be reaching out to her again next time we’re gone! Highly recommend!”


“Anna did a great job with our two puppies and under unusual circumstances because the maintenance people needed access to our townhome while she was there to fix an electrical issue so they were in an out. She was very communicative and it was great to have her. I’ve had her watch a dog of mine before and was impressed now as I was then. Thanks Anna!”


“Michelle has been reliable and so caring to Ernie the past 3 weeks while I was gone for work. Ernie cries for joy when he sees her in the morning and cries for sadness when she leaves. When I’m off, Ernie still expects Michelle would show up at our front door. Very sweet. I’m grateful to know her and she is Ernie’s BFF. I’d request her service again when the opportunity arises. Thank you!!”


“Mattie did a great job watching our 2 dogs. The temperatures were in the upper 90’s-102 degrees while we were gone. She was sure to keep them in and out of the heat but letting them out when needed. I would have her watch our dogs again.”


“Andrew did a great job and has watched our dog twice now. When our flight was delayed, he was able to help us one additional day at the last min. Shared pictures and updates daily. Was willing to learn how to give insulin shots as well. Thank you!”


About: I got my first dog when I was 7, I also would pet sit for people in my neighborhood. Even though I moved they still reach out to have me pet sit. I currently work part time with flexible hours. I am available weekends or weekdays and always willing to go out of my way to help. I have lots of experience with animals and plan on growing my knowledge regarding pets. Currently have a certificate in animal massage which covered animal behavior, and animal first aid. Whether your pet likes to play or snuggle up on the couch I will fit their needs.

“Zach was an amazing sitter for my pups. They are precious and I expect them to be taken care of with full attention of them. Zach went above and beyond. He was timely in responding if I had a question. He took excellent care of them and checked in often with updates and pics to show me they were happy and content. I will be using Zach whenever I need to go out of town. I would recommend and trust him to all pet owners. Thank you Zach.”


About: I have cared for dogs and other pets of various breeds since I was 8 years old, working with animals at all life stages—from puppy training to senior care. My 10 years of experience spans everything from handling large breeds to small Shih Tzus, as well as providing services such as dog walking and pet sitting." I am available on weekday evenings to care for your dog if you ever need some time off. I am also available all throughout the weekend to assist as needed. I have experience giving care for a dog in someone else's home. I will play with them in the space provided and ensure an environment in which they feel safe and comfortable

“Macy was awesome! She took on 2, two-year old, large, energetic dogs with ease. From cleaning up messes, to playing with them regularly, and making sure they were fed, she had it all covered! It was incredibly reassuring to have our dogs in her hands while we were away and we highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a responsible sitter!”


“Brielle did a great job with our crew for a weekend outing. They were well cared for and stress free upon our arrival home. Our Border Collie suffers from separation anxiety and she helped him to feel safe and secure during our time away.”


About: Since my first dog, Boji, I’ve loved pets! Family, neighbors, and friends send their besties to me when they are away because they know I love them just as much as they do. And though we both know your besties miss you while you’re gone, hiring me allows them to freely wag their tail with someone until you arrive safely home :) I recently graduated from college and just took my nursing exam. While I plan to begin working in mid-August, my current schedule is very flexible, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine right now, and even once I begin working, I plan to maintain a structured schedule that still allows me time for pet sitting—especially on weekends or during set shifts. I will be working the NICU, caring for little babies, and I would love to also care for your fur babies!!! Whether I’m caring for pets during walks or in a client’s home, I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that helps each pet feel comfortable and cared for. I take time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs, whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, favorite toys, or walking preferences. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and maintain the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I take care of basic needs like feeding, walking, cleaning up after them, and giving lots of affection. I always make sure pets are safe and happy, and I’m attentive to any signs of stress or discomfort.

About: I have been pet/house sitting for the last several years for family, friends, and neighbors. I am a full time college student and would love a dog of my own and unable to do that at this time and would love walks and cuddles from your fur babies. I work less then 24 hours a week at Avera and have plenty a free time outside of work to walk and cuddle your fur babies. I am gone a few weekends in the summer but if I’m not gone I am willing to take my weekends/weekdays with your pets! I treat the pets like they are one of my own! I love to play fetch and go on walks! Outside of walk and fetch would love to just lay and cuddle your fur babies!

Shindler pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amazing!!!! We decided to do at house sitting as we wanted both our dog and cat to be together to help with us being gone. Tiffany watched Rocco and Cat in our house while we were gone on vacation . She took amazing care of our dog and cat. The pictures and videos show they are being themselfs and having a great time. When we got back, Rocco and Cat seemed not stressed and like we were not even gone! Will get with her again!
