“Jessie took excellent care of our two dogs and even watched over our ducklings! She left our house is great condition. We really appreciate how well she took care of everything while we were away! Will rebook in the future.”
“Awesome, kind, competent care for our two cats. Julia even got on good terms with our usually grumpy, reclusive, prima-donna cat! Her daily communications were just right in substance and tone.”
“Justelle is now an extended member of our family. 😊 She’s super responsible, responsive and always keeps us informed. And our dogs absolutely love her. Justelle is always our #1 sitter”
“Iris stayed with our three Dachshunds for four days. She did an amazing job! Iris was attentive to their needs and gave them lots of snuggles which they are so used to! She sent pictures and an update every day which showed how well our babies were doing. I appreciate all the care and attention that she gave our dogs which included administering medication to one of them. I definitely plan to call on iIris again to care for our dogs! ❤️”
“Chris was awesome! Our dogs took right to her and the house looked great! She was comfortable when meeting our boisterous dogs and very punctual. She also sends great pics! We will definitely continue booking with Chris!”
“Tina is an amazing and fantastic dogsitter! She was available at short notice and watched our 2 dogs over the Christmas break, and made sure they felt safe and secure since they have separation anxiety. She provided us with constant updates and photos, and faithfully administered medications while being mindful of our pets’ special needs. She is extremely trustworthy and reliable, and we highly recommend her to watch your companions. Five stars!”
“I had a really positive experience with Mikayla! Mikayla was more than willing to do a meet and greet, as I have a shy chihuahua who is a bit slow to warm up at first. She was able to pet her on the first visit! Mikayla was super accommodating to my separation anxiety from my pets ? and let me know how arrival went, how the first night went, sent daily pics and updates. I’m definitely going to be working with Mikayla again on our next trip!”
“Anna saved my dogs life. Bronx was a senior pug, 16.5 and thank god Anna was the one watching him. He had a fainting episode while i was away and lost consciousness. Anna brought him back and took him to the ER where he was able to be treated and taken care of long enough for me to come home and get one last day with him. I owe Anna the world for being there, knowing what to do and caring so thoroughly for my little guy. She is hands down, without exaggeration, the best Dogsitter I’ve ever encountered and I’m eternally grateful for her.”
“Delaney house sat for us and watched our 2 pups while we were in San Diego getting married. Delaney was very responsive and sent us cute pics. The stress of getting married is pretty overwhelming but knowing that our favorite furry creatures were having fun with Delaney was a relief and allowed us to focus on our wedding. I highly recommend Delaney!”
“I have been using Rover for five years and have hired numerous dog sitters, but Mingxin is definitely the best one I have ever met. She is a very responsible person who pays attention to every detail of my requests. She provides great communication, always sends updates on my dog, and makes sure everything is in place. She walks my dog twice a day, taking her on long walks to explore. My dog was taken care of so well that I didn't have to worry about a thing while I was on vacation. I will definitely hire her again and I really appreciate her service!”
“Moriah watched my collie mix while I was gone and it was such a pleasure. She did a great job, especially managing my high energy dog and my dog’s medication. I look forward to booking her again next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Nicole was AMAZING! She took great care not only of the doggos but the house as well! She followed very instruction we gave and was quick to respond when we reached out! We will definitely be booking with Nicole again for our next trip!”
“Sanuthi did a fantastic job taking care of our cats and house while we were away. She thoroughly reviewed what we do for them and asked great questions, and I felt very comfortable leaving our cats and home in her care. She sent messages and pictures while we were away, and everything seemed to go smoothly! I would definitely hire her again!”
About: I currently have two high energy pitbulls of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling strong, active dogs and keeping them mentally and physically engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments, along with playful puppies or senior dogs. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine that you have set for your dog Since I’m currently between jobs, I have a flexible, open schedule and can dedicate my full attention to your pet. I’m available 7 days a week, mornings through evenings, making me a great option for last-minute bookings or dogs that need extra company and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety is my number one priority. My home is fenced in and safe, and I’m here all day so your dog will never be left alone for long. I follow each owner’s routines closely, send regular photo updates, and will reach out immediately if anything comes up.
“This was our first time using rover so we were a little worried about leaving Enzo Joslyn sent us so many pictures and updates about how he was doing the whole time! Enzo loved her and was very happy while she was here!”
“Rachel took great care of our pup while we were away for a week! She was very chill and super quick with replying any time I reached out for an update. We came home to a happy, safe doggie and very clean house and we so appreciated that after a long day of travel!”
“Brendan takes such a great care of our dogs, and of our house. He’s an excellent communicator and provides a lot of fun updates and pictures. The dogs absolutely adore him.”
“My cat, Luna, was very well taken care of and I received multiple updates and adorable photos while I was gone for just two days. Luna is usually a bit put off with me when I leave her behind, but this time she seemed perfectly content and her usual snuggly self when I came home, thanks to Ryasa!”
“Elisa is fabulous! All of my little guys love her. She's super caring and diligent in her care for both my pets and home. Daily pictures and updates are always on point. If anything seems abnormal I'm notified right away. It's very comforting knowing that they're all in such great hands while we're away!!”
“Felicia was an excellent dog sitter for our two girls! She was super respectful, loving, and took the best care of them! She left our house super clean and I will definitely be requesting sitting from her again!”
Somerset pet parents share their Rover experiences
Joslyn did an excellent job caring for my two French Bulldogs while I was away. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind and let me see how happy and well cared for they were. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about my dogs as if they were her own. In addition to taking wonderful care of my pets, she also looked after my home and left everything clean and in perfect condition. I returned to two happy dogs and a well-maintained house. I highly recommend Joslyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter.
Tina is the best! She took wonderful care of our two dogs and two cats over Memorial Day weekend. We had a last-minute cancellation, and she came for a meet-and-greet the same day we reached out and quickly confirmed the booking, which was such a relief. She was very mindful of all of our house rules and clearly cared about our pets. Both our dogs and cats loved her, and it was obvious they were happy and comfortable in her care. She also went above and beyond by helping with little things around the house, including taking out our garbage bins. We received regular updates and came home to happy pets and a well-kept house. We would absolutely book with Tina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Anna watched Cairo and Momo while we were out of town, and she was exactly who we needed. Cairo is very sick and partially disabled, and she went to great lengths to care for our boy, paying attention to every little detail from medication timing to his mobility needs. She kept us updated the whole trip and clearly treated both dogs like her own. Highly recommend her if you’ve got a pet with special needs.
Teresa did a great job taking care of our 4 legged family member. She sent pictures, wrote about his day to us, and in a couple words - she cared. She cared about our dog-child as if he was her own, which gave us peace of mind. On our return, we found that she also took very good care of our home too.
Stacey stayed with Bodhi for 2 weeks while we were traveling. She was great with him - they immediately connected during the meet and greet (he can be shy with some people, but took to her right away). She sent pics and updates while we were traveling. Stacey was the perfect sitter for us and I cannot recommend her enough. Will definitely seek to use her services again.
We’ve had some amazing dog sitters in the past, but the care Magdalena provided was on an entirely different level. Our previous sitters were great, but this was a different kind of care, more loving, affectionate, nurturing, and deeply connected than anything we’ve experienced before. We had actually been avoiding vacations over the past year because of our 14-year-old senior dog. With his mix of good and tough days, we were nervous about leaving him and wanted someone we truly trusted to handle any situation, especially since he can get anxious when we’re away. We interviewed a number of sitters, but choosing Magdalena was a no brainer. From the moment she walked through the door, both dogs were instantly drawn to her, and the feeling was clearly mutual. She immediately showered them with affection, and they didn’t leave her side the entire visit. While we were away, Magdalena was an absolute dream. She kept us constantly updated with photos and thoughtful daily summaries, which gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond in her care, even taking them on daily field trips to dog parks and giving them long, enriching walks. What really stood out was how quickly she understood each dog’s unique needs. She recognized that our senior dog needed more mental stimulation, while our younger dog needed more physical activity, and she balanced both perfectly. In fact, her care seemed to give our older dog a bit of renewed energy. Magdalena is also an amazing trainer. Throughout her time with our dogs, she naturally introduced helpful training techniques and tips, which made a noticeable difference. We truly couldn’t be more impressed. Magdalena treated our dogs like her own, and it showed in how happy and well cared for they were. Because of the trust we now have in her, we feel much more confident about traveling in the coming months. It is such a relief knowing we have a sitter who will meet our dogs’ needs so exceptionally well. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.
