“Jessica took care of our three dogs while we were out of town, and we couldn't be more grateful. From the moment we met her, it was clear she truly loves animals and knows how to handle multiple dogs with care and confidence. Each of our pups has a different personality and set of needs, and Jessica gave them all the attention, exercise, and affection they needed. She kept us updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and a clean house. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and responsible dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking her again!”
“Just wonderful. Matthew was professional and could not have been nicer to our three dogs. The house was left in Immaculate condition and he had good communication.”

“Will was very attentive to Penny. Checked in on her, fed her at same time everyday and stayed overnight with her. When I came back on Sunday, she was very content, and not stressed at all. I will use Will again.”
“We recently had Samuel look after our dog in our home while we traveled for a few days. He offered a meet and greet and explained very thoroughly how he’d care for our dog. He listened and asked questions about our dog’s routine to make sure he provides the best care. While we were traveling, we received daily text messages with pictures and updates of our dog. We had a great experience working with Sam, Thank You for taking such amazing care of our dog and home. Mini really enjoyed your company! We will be in contact again!”
“Dora was absolutely wonderful. My dogs loved her and she took great care of them. Left our house as she found it - maybe cleaner!- and sent lots of videos and texts. Will definitely have her back!”

“Grace was reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. She came to our home for a meet and greet prior to staying with our dog for two nights. We especially appreciated the pictures and updates while we were away. We look forward to using her again.”
About: Reliable, patient pet sitter experienced with puppies and senior dogs. Skilled in routines, positive reinforcement, exercise, and attentive care, ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits well into my routine as a student-athlete on summer break with lots of free time during the day. I’m especially available in the evenings and during the day and would love to drop by to let pets out, take them on walks, or provide overnight care and companionship. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in both my home and my clients’ homes by following all care instructions closely. I maintain clean, calm environments, secure doors and leashes, and use positive reinforcement. I respect each pet’s routine, monitor behavior and well being, and provide regular updates to owners to ensure peace of mind.
“Lindsey was amazing! She helped us out with a last minute trip and was very communicative. She sent lots of pictures of my babies and they seemed to love the attention. Would absolutely recommend her!”
“I would book with Emily 1,000 times over. From the moment we met, it was evident she has a genuine love for animals and her experience with high energy breeds put my mind at ease. She provided the best care for my pups, sending me update photos of them on walks, playing together, and getting snuggles. She left the house spotless and the dogs were even running around looking around for her after she left. I would recommend Emily to anyone that is in need of a trustworthy, knowledgable, passionate and caring sitter.”
About: I have had four dogs over the years along with over 100 fosters over Covid. Even after Covid, we still take in puppies every once in a while, although recently, we just got a new puppy. I am extremely flexible with my schedule currently , and will be for majority of the summer. I don’t mind housesitting and I don’t mind learning new things to take care of different pets. I also have experience with reptiles as I used to have a bearded dragon. Although, sadly, we had to rehome because of his health issues 🥲. I have no permanent job, although I will be taking time over the summer to spend with my family. All I ask is that you give me a heads up on when and where you need me. Two of my current dogs are very low maintenance, as Rusty has gotten older he has gotten arthritis so we go on as many walks as he can tolerate. Austin is the definition of a couch potato. While Isla hates the leash, but we are training her to comfortable with it. I truly believe that your pet is my pet and I will always take the best care of any and all pets I encounter. I truly love animals and look forward to meeting your best friends.
“I highly recommend Jenny. My dogs fell in love with her. Jenny is kind, compassionate, and very understanding to every need. Jenny took the upmost care of my home and my fur-babies. I will differently be booking with Jenny again!”
About: I have always loved caring for other dogs when growing up. My pup is the same way. We both love visitors and would love to have your fur baby stay with us I work from home Full time. My routine with my own fur baby is feeding twice a day and potty breaks 3 times a day. We also do frequent trips to the dog park onsite. My Penny girl is one of the most social dogs I’ve ever had. She loves meeting new dogs and is such a good host when we have fur visitors. I work remotely which allows me to give quite a bit of attention to my pup and any visitors.
About: Elvis, a 14lb shi-poo and his two new buddies, Tucker and Nanook, love having other puppy guests over since his big brother passed on. We are very active and enjoy going for long walks and finding new things to sniff. The house is open with plenty of space to lounge on. The house is tiled except for the guest bedrooms and pretty puppy proof with a close of a few bedroom doors and a blanket on the couch. The pups have full access to a fenced outdoor space where squirrel and bird activity can be found in the mornings. I have had dogs since I was 7 years old and I volunteered at shelter for many years. I grew up with animals of all kinds on a farm in Vermont and its just my way of life. Furry friends are the best! I will cherish yours as much as I cherish mine. Please note that I prefer only weekend stay-cations for your pup but can do mid week if we arrange with enough advance notice. I have a pretty flexible schedule and my husband works from home. The dogs will get plenty of belly rubs and love. Since, we have three of our own, we are very prepared for any doggie need I have a fenced in yard and we we generally keep the dogs corralled to wherever we are or in the non carpet areas. We are happy to crate, if you bring one. Dogs can go on furniture (up to 25lb)
Sonterra pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had an excellent experience with Gihan! She was incredibly sweet, professional, and took amazing care of our 3 dogs. Communication was outstanding throughout the stay, and she sent wonderful photos that gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she paid close attention to each dog’s individual needs and made sure they were comfortable and happy. Our dogs had a wonderful time with her, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
Braydon is the first non-family member to ever stay with our (10yo) dogs. He was attentive, communicative, and took great care of them while we were on a long trip. We came home to two happy pups and it was great not having to worry about them while we were gone. Would definitely recommend!
We had a wonderful experience! Marissa took excellent care of our two dogs and cat while we were away and sent daily photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned home, our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As an added bonus, the house was spotless. Marissa even vacuumed or swept up the pet hair and washed the sheets and towels, which was completely unexpected and so appreciated. Marissa went above and beyond in every way. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again!
Kadence was amazing! I was nervous due to the length and time difference of my trip, but Kadence was so great! My cats are happy and relaxed, my apartment tidy, and she was responsive to any messages I sent. I am very happy with the level of care she showed my pets and my place 😊
Emily was everything we hoped for. This was our first occasion using Rover or having a stranger in our house while we were on vacation. I was very pleased with Emily, her care for our home and our pets exceeded expectations. Her daily communication left us feeling confident that our little ones and our house were protected and cared for. We will definitely call her again. Thanks Emily.
One word to describe Pauline is Fabulous!!! She has a ton of experience and knowledge when it comes to dogs. My older dog now needs insulin twice a day and Pauline was up to the task. She house sat the dogs and did everything we ask of her. our dogs weren't exactly friendly but she managed them so well that she had them walking the neighborhood, a first for us!! Pauline has a very nice outgoing personality that makes it super easy to communicate with her and is the nicest person you'll ever meet. We were blown away by just how good she really was, we will never use anyone else!!!!!!
