“Daniel was amazing! We have a newly adopted puppy and had to leave town for a night shortly after adopting him. Daniel gave us peace of mind while we were away and took great care of our crazy pup!”
“Molly was absolutely fabulous! While we were gone we received lots of pictures from her letting us know how things were going and that our babies were enjoying their time with her. I usually am anxious when we go out of town about how things are going but was completely relaxed during our entire trip! This was our first time using Rover and everything went very smoothly!”
“Christina was extremely communicative and treated the dogs fantastic! She also left the house in great shape and followed my instruction sheet to the letter, which I truly appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Allison did a great job house sitting and taking care of Dax at the last minute! She sent lots of updates and photos. The house was very clean too! My only issue was the $20 meet n greet fee which I thought would be deducted from the booking once confirmed. Even though her bio says, “to be modified in the final price once a booking is confirmed” I still thought it meant she would take it off the price upon booking, but she adds it no matter whether you book or not. I’ve used Rover for almost 2 years and never had to pay someone to meet. I also pay fees when booking Rover too…. So it’s part of the program. I, too, lose out on my time if someone meets Dax and decides he’s too big or not a good fit for them. I don’t get paid for my time going to job interviews or when I’ve interviewed babysitters…. So just something to consider.”
“Monica was great. Very professional, communicated well, and took great care of the house and our dog. Will definitely be on my list for future sitter or dog walker needs.”
“Yasmin took excellent care of my dog during a week-long trip and I would definitely book with her again! Ranger gets anxious sometimes, especially when his routine is disrupted, but he seemed happy and content in all of the picture/video updates (and I appreciated her sending those regularly). Thank you for keeping my best friend happy and healthy while we were gone, Yasmin!”
“Aaliyah watched my two cats while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond taking care of them & our home even though my boys put her in some tough & unexpected situations. There were late nights, early mornings, and lots of phone calls & texts messages. I'd definitely book her again if she'd accept me!”
“Kayla did amazing taking care of our house and pups! Her pics and updates gave us peace of mind leaving the dogs at home during our trip. We definitely would have her watch them again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes small to extra large as well as cats and even some exotic pets. I have been the go to sitter for my friends and family every time they go on vacation. I love caring for animals and can’t wait to help you with yours. I am experienced with animals- puppies to elderly dogs, kittens to elderly cats. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule and can work with what you need. I mostly have open afternoons and Friday through the weekend. While I’m taking care of your pet I will do all I can to assure they are taken care of physically as well as emotionally offering love, play and exercise, whatever it is they need that day. Every pet is different and I will work with you to ensure they are getting what they need from me, walks, pets or play.
“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”
“Stacey did so great with my dogs. One of my dogs is extremely afraid of strangers but instantly approached Stacey during or initial meet and greet. Will definitely be using Stacey again!”
About: I have had animals most of my life and regularly cat sit for friends and family. I am great in emergencies and a kind caring responsible person who will treat your pets like my own. I am calm quiet and gentle by nature and animals tend to pick up on that and like me. I’m always respectful of others homes. I am available 24/7 365 days a year I am happy to work around your schedule and available most hours of the day or night I follow whatever instructions are needed and I let my dogs out to potty every two hours along with cleaning litter boxes and plenty of playtime and snuggles. I also respect privacy and personal property and am not a person to mess with your stuff.
About: I started in the veterinary field at the age of 15 as a kennel technician and cross trained in the clinic as a veterinary assistant. I then went to school for animal/veterinary science and graduated with valuable skills and education. After school I went into zookeeping where i cared for a variety of taxa including but not limited to carnivores and hoofed animals. After leaving the field and changing careers, I became a foster home for Oh My Dog Rescue based in the Des Moines IA area. As a Retail Manager my schedule is not consistent however I guarantee that I will check on your animals a minimum of twice per day unless otherwise agreed upon. I do best house/petsitting for clients who leave detailed instructions and emergency contacts. I bring structure and high quality care to the table in every home I enter.
“Raelyn took excellent care of our Lab while we were out of town. She provided lots of updates with pictures and very communicative with us. We have already rebooked her!”
About: Hi, I’m Carly! I’ve always loved animals and understand how important it is to know they’re safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether you need drop-in visits, overnight care, or house sitting, I’ll make sure your pets are happy, loved, and your home is well cared for. I’m responsible, communicative, and keep things clean and cozy while you’re gone. My schedule changes a bit week to week, so feel free to message me. I’m happy to find a time that works for both of us! I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I follow each owner’s routine closely, give plenty of attention, and keep things clean and calm while you’re away.
“Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.”
About: I worked throughout high school at a humane society, focusing on puppy and adult dog care, also writing grants for the foundation. Since then, I’ve had three dogs—one Canaanite Shepherd and two huskies. I also have a lovely turtle at home named Zoom! Animal care is part of my daily life, and I strive to give my animals (and yours!) the best life possible! I currently work from home most days, so I can be fairly flexible with my schedule (given enough notice). I am happy to work with your and your dog’s needs! While I don’t offer care in my own home, I am happy to visit your home to let your animals out and get them some exercise!

Somerset pet parents share their Rover experiences
Christina took great care of my puppy and my house for her week-long stay! She provided frequent updates and cared for my pup as if she was her own. My pup is prone to tummy trouble and gobbling up fabric that she shouldn't, and Christina was diligent to keep things out of reach and attentive to her feeding schedule. She left my house exactly as she found it and even took the trash out and watered my plants. I can't recommend her more highly!
Molly was absolutely fabulous! While we were gone we received lots of pictures from her letting us know how things were going and that our babies were enjoying their time with her. I usually am anxious when we go out of town about how things are going but was completely relaxed during our entire trip! This was our first time using Rover and everything went very smoothly!
First time with Elizabeth and a definite repeat customer in future! We have a very aloof cat who usually never appears while the sitter is here except to grab a few mouthfuls of food. But Lola hung around to enjoy Elizabeth's company. And pets always know... Came home to very happy furbabies. Thank you, Elizabeth.
