“Best rover we’ve ever had! Extremely communicative, sends multiple photos and updates daily. Has no problem playing with our high energy dog multiple times a day or snuggling with our anxious cat. We recommend him without reservation.”

“Alejandra took great care of my fur family member while I was away on the weekend. She was kind, followed my instructions perfectly and clearly loves being an animal companion and makes them feel at home when their family isn't able to be there.”

“Hannah and Nolan were fantastic. We have a pup that takes several introductions to warm up to strangers and they were so patient with him and respectful of his boundaries. We got frequent updates throughout the week and I could tell that the dogs were so happy spending time with them.”

“Adam & Vaitiary are the absolute BEST! We feel so comfortable leaving our dogs with them! They treat them like the princesses and are so in tune to their needs! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages- I’ve raised a puppy as well as taken care of my childhood dog into old age (he passed at 17). I’ve done lots of pet sitting and house sitting, whether it be drop-ins or overnight stays. I’ve yet to meet a dog who I don’t love! I work part-time in my family’s business and have a very flexible schedule. I’m a college student home for summer break, so I have loads of free time! Whatever your needs are, I can make it work! If your dog has a more specific routine, that’s great. If it’s more relaxed, that’s also great! I am very adaptable. I do well with reading body language of dogs (my pup is a little feisty)! I am able to walk long distances, play active games, and more.
“Even for a short visit of a few hours (new home, nervous dog) Lisa's professionalism shone through: Our Izzy was taken for a good walk, a trip to the backyard, and had plenty of enriching/calming attention. Everything we needed and more!”

“A pet sitting angel! I was freaking out because of a last minute cancellation from another sitter, but Alex came to my rescue and took over the booking. Turns out that the other sitter cancelling was the best thing that could have happened because Alex is everything I could ever want from a sitter. They were incredibly responsive to my messages, they gave frequent updates throughout the day complete with photos, they administered medication to both my cats, they went above and beyond to even clean up the place while I was away…but most importantly, my boys seemed to absolutely adore them! Absolutely a 10/10 ✨”

“Eliza is a show stopper when it comes to pet sitting! We needed someone to watch our 3 fur babies while we were out of country and have always been very careful with who we select. Our dogs who are sometimes shy took to her almost right away and loved their initial walks with her. She was extremely thorough in her questions about the dogs, emergency contacts, etc and had great communication while we were gone as well. It really helped knowing they were in amazing hands. When we returned she had even kept up with watering our plants and washed all the linens she used! We would recommend Eliza to any and everyone.”

About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life. I know the struggles and rewards watching and caring for pets come with I have pets on a small scale for friends and families since I was a child. I love playing with cats and making sure they get all their hunting instincts out with cat toys.. I love to be outside with dogs, making sure they get enough exercise and stimulation throughout the. I also understand how to deal with dogs with behaviors or animals that take medications and how stressful that can be. I’m currently a college student so I have very flexible hours and i will work with you to create the perfect routine. I have plenty of time to play and drop in throughout the day. I can ensure that your pet is properly taken care of while you’re away. I will make sure your pets are happy and get as much playtime as they need. I have two cats at home that I feed three times a day. Stimulation is really important for both cats and dogs so I make sure to play with them throughout the day. I wanna make sure they sleep throughout the night so playtime is very important. The clean environment is a mess so I make sure to clean up after my pets whether it’s the bowls they’re eating from or any accidents that are made.
About: I volunteered many hours at an animal shelter for six months. During my time there, I took all-around care of the cats. I’ve had dogs (of many different personalities and sizes) my entire life, so dogs are part of my daily routine. I often watch my friends dogs and it’s always a pleasure :) Im not currently working so i can take close care of your pet during the time i watch them. I will always be there when food/ walks are needed I will watch over your pet for as long as needed, giving them attention, affection, and food/water and walks when necessary. Also taking care of special needs if they have them.

“Sarah took excellent care of our cats and dog over a weekend. When we arrived home the animals were relaxed—even our extremely neurotic dog. Everything was clean and tidy. She was communicative and flexible with our schedule. She did a great job. We’ll happily book with her again!”

“We had Allison stay in our home for a week with our 4.5 month old puppy while we were out of town. She went above and beyond with his care. She always made sure he got enough exercise and took him on fun walks and adventures. She worked on some of his training with him too. He was better walking on his leash when we got home so we greatly appreciate the work Allison did with him. When she wasn’t able to stay at our house with him, she took him places with her, including her own home because he needed constant supervision and supervision and didn’t want him in his crate for too many hours at a time. She sent daily videos, pictures and texts with updates. She was very communicative and responsive. When we arrived home, we discovered a nice handwritten note with flowers, photo magnets of pictures she took of our puppy, and chewy toys for him too. We were very nervous initially to leave him with someone but Allison came over for a meet and greet and she let us come to her home to see how our puppy would do with her dog. She quickly put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our vacation and not worry about how our puppy was doing. Our puppy loves her and we were very happy with the care and attention she provided him. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Celina is great, we have tried her for pet sitting and also house sitting combined with pet sitting and everything was perfect, communication with her is always absolutely fine, I would recommend her 10/10”

“Alyssa has been very patient and kind with our dog, shows her lots of love, and is very punctual and reliable. We got lots of updates during their time together and she really put our minds at ease. Thank you Alyssa!”

About: I really enjoy spending time with animals especially dogs it's hard to find a dog I don't like so what I think you'd like most is that it as long as I'm enjoying it I'm pretty sure your dogs will enjoy it too, and I'm a very responsible pet owner myself. I've had dogs in my life since as far back as I can remember, when I was a child my father trained a German Shepherd mix how to count he could count up to 10 however many fingers you held up he would bark that many times. in my younger teens I had a paper route and my dog as a child learned my whole paper route and would follow me to do the Sunday paper. My current dog is a boxer mix and I trained him to work as a service animal just last year although he's no longer on duty he's one of the best dogs I've ever known. In addition to providing Services on rover I have spent a volunteer for the Marion County Dog Shelter for the last year mainly as a foster adoption ambassador. Dog care is all I do it is my main job I'm just finishing my certification in dog behaviorism I intend to train and care for dogs the rest of my life I live on a corner a lot with a large fenced yard I have a chihuahua, A husky who loves to play with everybody And I have a mini Australian Shepherd She is mainly a ball chaser.
“We could not have had a better sitter than Kelsea! It was very clear right at the get-go at our meet-and-greet that she was exceedingly competent at dog care thanks to her extensive history in dog rescue. She understood and followed all our instructions/requests with ease, such as with their diet since they needed to avoid gaining weight. She then went the extra mile by being extremely attentive to their eating habits, asking permission to alter meals so that they were eating better, which we really appreciated! Her attention to detail was impeccable. She also introduced new toys/treats for mental stimulation without causing them to gain weight (: Finally, she showed through plenty of pictures and updates how much love and attention the animals were getting! They looked so calm and happy when I returned home. If you want peace of mind that your animals are in the hands of someone who will love on them, Kelsea is your girl! Than you, Kelsea!”

Somerset West pet parents share their Rover experiences
Absolutely fantastic! Hannah did a great job with my old, stubborn, clingy dog, and with managing my separation anxiety with pictures and updates. Left the house in order with no issues. Responsive, positive, and knows how to wield a treat. Will definitely book again!

Liv was recommended to me by a friend who has booked her house and pet sitting services previously. It was an excellent referral! From the start Liv was punctual, communicated clearly, was kind and respectful, and my dog and cat felt at ease with her during the meet-and-greet. She took special care with my elderly dog. We returned home to a clean house and happy pets, I would recommend her for any pet sitting needs!

Violet is a lovely person, and she exudes competence and calmness. Our dog was very content with her and very calm when we returned home. Our house was in perfect order. We had total confidence in Violet, and we’ll plan to book with her again as our needs arise.

Sarah took excellent care of our cats and dog over a weekend. When we arrived home the animals were relaxed—even our extremely neurotic dog. Everything was clean and tidy. She was communicative and flexible with our schedule. She did a great job. We’ll happily book with her again!

Emily took amazing care of our dog and cat during overnight stays and daytime care over the weekend while we were away. She was attentive, dependable, and clearly cared for our pets like they were her own. We really appreciated the updates and the care she took with both our pets and our home. Our return flight was unexpectedly delayed, and she was incredibly kind and flexible in staying later to make sure our pets were still cared for until we made it home. That gave us so much peace of mind during a stressful travel situation. Everything was clean and well cared for when we got back, and we felt very comfortable having her stay in our home. We would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again!

Hiedi is a superstar.! our Dog Lacey is a very good judge of of people and she took right to Hiedi the very first meeting. Hiedi sent us pictures and really gave Lacey some stimulating adventures. We will certainly use her again.!! she is also very respectful of the house and we came home to a very neat and tidy home.
We recently had Olivander housesit and watch our easily frightened chihuahua for two weeks. We were in completely different time zones, but he kept us up to date and was extremely responsive. Our dog was able to get comfortable and cuddle! When we returned, our dog was noticeably stress-free, and was even freshly brushed! Our house was also very clean and well kept. I would highly recommend using Olivander and plan to use him for our future trips!

I’m always a little skeptical when reviews are overwhelmingly good. Topher is a true gift. We were so worried about traveling and leaving our anxious dog with someone he didn’t know. It was clear from the moment that Topher came into our home to meet Jim that he was the only choice we’d be moving forward to as long as he’ll offer dog watching services. I kid you not that when we got home from our trip, after our dog greeted us, he still nuzzled into Topher! The only thing to worry about now is whether Jim likes Topher more than us haha! Very very happy to know our pets were well taken care of.
