Patty was FANTASTIC! This was our first time using Rover. We just moved to town and didn’t know anyone in the area. Patty watched our dogs while we were out of town for a long weekend trip. They adored her. She was very loving and attentive, and also sent us duly updates. We would definitely book Patty again. Highly recommend her!

We have used Rover for many years and Stephanie stands out from the rest. We cannot recommend her enough! She watched our two girls at our house for a week while we were out of town, and within the first day or two, a storm knocked huge tree branches from our neighbor’s yard into ours. She handled it without missing a beat, pivoting quickly to keep our girls safe the entire time. She stayed in communication, sent photos regularly, and gave us complete peace of mind throughout the whole trip. I can tell they miss her today but luckily she will be around for drop-ins as well! She also left our house in beautiful condition. She’s the absolute best but please leave some of her time for us 🤣🤣. Thanks, Stephanie!!

Kaitlin is phenomenal! She took excellent care of our fur babies while we were traveling. She followed instructions and reached out with extra considerations. We felt secure knowing our pups (and home) were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to others.

Alyssa did a great job with our anxious doggies! They seemed very content when we came back from our trip which is a testament to how well she did with them and how comfortable they were with her. We will definitely look to her in the future!

Haydyn is such a wonderful sitter! She’s very kind, keeps you updated with pictures of your pets, and was available with a short notice. Our puppies adored her, she played with them, gave them belly rubs, cuddled them(they love attention and cuddles), she was a perfect pick for them. Our cat who has a lot of attitude and usually hides from anyone who is not my husband and I, loved her too! She was hanging out around her all weekend and loved getting to know Haydyn, which meant SO MUCH for us and definitely made us feel like we found the best sitter. We will be rebooking with her in the future and I know all our pets will be so happy to see her again. 100% recommend booking with Haydyn.

About: I have taken care of animals for the past 15 years, and have dog and cat watched though out the years. I used to have my own dog walking business. I am currently a college student at the University of Missouri working a part time job and I’m also involved in a few clubs in my community. I have time in the early mornings and later afternoons to watch and walk your fur babies! I pay close attention to pets and make sure all needs are met. I put pets first and like to keep them happy, clean, and safe at all times. Please let me know any additional details or facts about your fur baby so I can make that possible!!

I cannot recommend Jason enough as a dog sitter! From the moment we met, he made me feel completely comfortable leaving Dax in his care. Jason was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure both Dax and I had peace of mind. He kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which showed just how much Dax loved his time with Jason—especially all the playtime! It's clear Jason truly cares about the dogs he watches. If you're looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely kind, Jason is your person. Dax and I are so grateful for him!

Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!

About: I began pet sitting in college and fell in love with the experience. I have pet and house sat for about 5 years and am always happy to love on someone's beloved furry family members (only the kind with 4 legs, please ;). If you want someone to send lots of pictures and updates about your baby, then I’m your girl! I have additional experience in puppy training, home care, and multi-species households. I work from home, which allows me to place pet care as a priority in my schedule. This gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, play time, accident clean-up, and more. As I work from home, I am able to keep round the clock supervision of animals. I have a fenced in dog park that can allow for off-leash activities. I also have a very brave cat who enjoys meeting new people and pets.

Lilia was amazing with our rescue pup, Berkley! She is super calm and kind - we could tell our Berkley already felt comfortable around her the first time she met her! She sent us many photos throughout the weekend. She was very communicative and professional. We would recommend her to any friend or family member!

Adrienne is wonderful! We were skeptical of this process, as we've always, in the past, been fortunate to use family in our home to care for our pet. Our furbaby, Stella, requires daily medication and special attention due to being a nervous nellie. She quickly fell in love with Adrienne, as she could sense the genuine love she had for her. Adrienne went above and beyond, taking Stella on extra walks, shared extra time with her outside, followed our fine detailed lengthy notes on Stella's routine and care perfectly, and she left our home just as she found it. If you're looking for someone who will love and care for your pet as if it were their own, Adrienne is the person!

Paola was so attentive to our beloved Kona. She went above and beyond day after day, very consistent with check-in and photos, so we could see our dog as she even offered to clean up around the house a little bit and do anything that needed done while we were away of all of the rovers, I’ve tried this has without a doubt been our best experience. Quit looking for other rovers just go ahead and book Paola with confidence.

I felt very grateful to have Haydyn take care of my pets while I was away. She was proactive from the beginning, came for a meet and greet and was personable and professional. But my favorite part was she had great communication keeping me updated and sending me photos.

Patty is great. We use her for home sitting with our pup and not only does she care so well for our pup, you can’t even tell her she’s been here when you leave. She is very respectful of our space. Our dog loves her too!

Thank you so much for loving our babies! Patty is so great at caring for our fur babies. She sends pictures often which is very reassuring. She really loves spending time with them. We use Patty for in home care and no matter how long she stays you can’t even tell she has been in the home. The dogs are super well adjusted when we get home. Highly recommend!
