“Our dogs seemed to really like Joan. She sent us pictures throughout the weekend and asked questions as needed. We appreciated her attentiveness to our pups. We will be happy to use her again.”

“This was my first time having Dawn watch my energetic corgi, Cornbread. Dawn did absolutely amazing with her! Cornbread just loves to play and Dawn gave her plenty of attention while I was away and sent plenty of pictures and videos. She kept me updated each day on Cornbread’s health, that she was fine with eating/staying hydrated, and behaving well. She also brought her dog over so Cornbread would have a friend to play with. Lastly she went above and beyond and left a custom sticker of Cornbread from her visit! Would absolutely love to book again with Dawn!”

“Courtney was the most thoughtful and thorough caregiver I’ve ever had. She watched over 2 dogs and 2 cats and was communicative about how each one was doing. She even noted that one of the dogs wasn’t feeling well and helped create a plan to make him feel better. This is the most stress free I’ve been when leaving my animals for a long vacation. I could not recommend her more.”

“Jylesha is Fantastic with my animals! She loves them, walks my dog, keeps my place so nice and is very responsive communicating and sending pics and vids. My animals love her! Ty Jylesha! ❤️”


“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“Leslie is wonderful!! She communicated with me throughout the week and put my mind at ease. She’s dependable, always did what she said she would and asked questions to make sure Maggie was well cared for. We were able to enjoy some time away knowing she was at our home taking care of things. Highly recommend.”

“Taylor is amazing! Thank you again for our second booking. She’s everything you want in a sitter. She was perfect with updates and photos. We came home to a clean house and a happy pup. Thank you Taylor!”


About: I have experience with both dogs and cats! I am super flexible this summer! I am looking forward to meeting some new fur-friends! Please book me at least 2 days in advance! I am very flexible this summer besides a two week trip at the beginning of July! I am not working since I’m attending graduate school in the fall so I’ll be super available to hang out with your fur babies! I don’t offer house sitting at my house but I can stay over at yours! I will treat your space with respect and follow any instructions you have left to ensure the upkeep and cleanliness of your space!
“Lauryn was amazing! She got to our zekey on time sometimes early! Our zekey loved Lauryn and her belly rubs. She did amazing job feeding our zeke and following his food instructions. We did run out of dry food and she even offered to go buy us some ❤️ we will definitely be booking with Lauryn in the future”

“Stacey and Jeremy stayed with our dog while we were on vacation. Leaving your house and dog to someone else can be a bit stressful, but as soon as I met them my worries went away. While we were gone, they communicated through texts and pictures. This made us all feel better, as it is never easy leaving your dog. After we got home, I could tell my dog had been well cared for. They also took time to make sure our house was clean and ready for our arrival. Overall, we are lucky to have found Stacey and Jeremy. In fact, we have already booked them for our next vacation.”

“Olivia took such good care of my boys while I was away and sent updates with pictures on every visit!! My two cats had so much fun with her, definitely put my mind at ease while I was gone knowing they were in such good hands!”

“Jimmy was an excellent dog sitter reliable, caring, and great with my dogs. He kept me updated while I was away, and I came home to a happy, well cared for dog and house Highly recommend!”

“Donald took great care of Beau and Gracie. He followed all of our instructions and made everything really easy on our end. Both pups seemed to be happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after when we got home. We really appreciated the help and would book with him again.”

About: I have cared for many pets in various neighborhoods of the local area. I provide basic needs and go above and beyond to make sure the pet feels comfortable and cared for while their family is away. I work full-time and will have time to care for pets in the mornings before work and anfternoons after work. I will still make an effort to ensure your pet sticks to their normal routine as close as possible. I require a meet and greet with the pets in their home (to prevent any territorial issues) before the service for any new clients. My current living situation prevents me from hosting pets in my own home, but I ensure the pet is safe and well taken care of in their home, following the care instructions left by the family.
About: I’ve helped neighbors with pet sitting and have always loved spending time with animals. I understand how important your pets are, and I’ll give them the same care and attention I’d give my own. I'm a barista at Starbucks and would love to unwind by going on dog walks and pet sitting for neighbors anytime I'm free before or after my working hours! I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure they get plenty of attention, patience, and affection so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and keep everything clean and organized during my stay. My goal is to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for in a familiar environment you can trust.
“Tammy was absolutely perfect. She gave us pics of our pups daily, we could clearly tell our dogos were happy and well Taken care of. Hopefully Tammy will be available again next time we need to have someone watch out dogos.”

“Olivia was wonderful at watching both of my pets while I was out of the country! She sent pictures regularly and kept me updated as to how things were going. If I had any questions, she was incredibly quick to respond. My 4 month old puppy had a great time with her. Puppies are not always easy. I have already recommended my friends to her. Thank you Olivia!”

South pet parents share their Rover experiences
Christa was a wonderful sitter during our trip. She came everyday right on time and was very attentive and communicated very well with anything that was going on. I would hire her again for my next trip. She was very kind and understanding about all of the ebbs and flows of this busy household. My 17 year old cat gave her a run for her money but she handled it beautifully.

Elias is AMAZING!!! We have a feral/extremely fearful dog who makes it near impossible to travel because people frighten him so much. Elias followed our instructions for introductions, came to meet him multiple times prior to our leave, and took his time. Elias was so good with him, that he even came up for pets and snuggles, something that doesn't ever happen! We are so grateful to have peace of mind that my dogs will be ok because Elias is there. I highly recommend him!

I can’t say how grateful I am for Ainsley! They came in to help with a last minute request due to another sitter not working out. Ainsley took such good care of my boys and relieved all my stress of having to find someone else mid sit. The communication was amazing and Ainsley sent so many cute photos of my dogs. I would absolutely rebook with Ainsley in the future for ALL my needs!

Jesse was great with our two dogs. This was a last minute request and he responded right away, which we really appreciated. Our dogs have significant anxiety, and he handled them with patience and care. He kept us updated throughout the stay and sent great pictures. It was clear our dogs were comfortable and well cared for. We would definitely book with Jesse again.

Truly amazing! We were able to book him last minute after our sitter fell through right before our wedding. He had all three of our pups with their varying personalities at ease. He had great updates and is an all around kind person. He’s exactly who you want watching your pets!!!

Arthur is always timely and diligent with my girls, which can get exhausting as I have two very high energy, large-breed dogs. He does amazing with Mandy's medication administration which is still going through some adjustments as we find the right dosages. He gives them lots of active time and makes sure they're more than cared for and loved while I'm away!
