“Absolutely amazing. Took great care of the pups and excellent communication. I felt completely at ease knowing while I was gone the pups were being taken care of extremely well. Can’t wait to book again.”
“Sheridan did an amazing job watching my dog! She was kind, communicative, and punctual. She house-sat while I was in the process of moving, and she was flexible and accommodating. Thank you Sheridan!!”
“I’ve booked with Alexis several times for house sitting. She is very kind, professional, and takes great care of my baby! I feel very comfortable and confident leaving my pup and my home in her care. Would recommend and rebook!”
“We are so happy we found Cece!! We have a large crew of fur kids that require a lot of attention and some special needs. She is amazing with them all! We can’t wait to have her back.”
“Erica took really good care of our animals while we were out of town. She sent us pictures and updated us daily. She also did an amazing job on giving our cat his medications. Would recommend and book again.”
“Mikaela was an incredible sitter for our pups! She took great care of them, was super respectful of our home, cleaned up accidents when they happened, and we returned to very happy dogs. Will definitely be requesting her services again!”
“I am so incredibly appreciative and happy with Laci's amazing care for my kitties. Laci was professional, communicative, and willing to go above and beyond. She sent updates, pictures, and videos daily for me which I was so thankful for. Laci's passion, love, and care for animals is so evident. What was most impressive of all was her ability to go above and beyond when it came to medicating my spicy senior kitty, Raina. She was able to brainstorm with me and provide her expertise in how to best go about administering the medication each day while I was gone. She also provided so much affection and love for my younger kitty, Gavin, who can be a handful for sure. :) Laci's care for my kitties allowed for me to fully enjoy my vacation with my family without worrying about anything back home. I will be booking with Laci for as many future trips as possible. Please do yourself a favor and do the same - you and your pets will be thankful you did!”
“Hannah was great! One of our dogs didn't accept us being gone very well and peed on our bed in protest. Hannah washed all of our linens and treated the spot on the mattress. Definitely above and beyond! She even ran the vacuum. Definitely way more than I would have ever expected. She treated our dogs and our home like she would her own. I would definitely use her again.”
“Excellent!!! Brittany watched our two German Shepherd in our home, both are over 100lbs and one is becoming a bit elderly. Britany was prompt and followed all our listed care needs to the letter. While we have used Rover for years, Brittany is one of the few we have found that truly loves animals, and give real love and attention to your pets. The house remained spotless and Brittany clearly took extra steps before she left. In addition, Brittany checked in with us before leaving for to make sure our flights were on time an no extension was needed. Thanks Brittany for taking great care of our very hairy children!”
“Rachel is amazing. We felt very comfortable leaving our pets in her care. She do in home and the house was spotless. So very grateful for her. She kept us updated with photos and texts.”
“Rachael did an excellent job house sitting/watching our two boys (cats)! She was a fantastic communicator and sent us lot of pictures. Our apartment was spotless when we returned and our cats warmed right up to her. We will definitely rebook!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was born. I've cared for many dogs through all stages of their lives—whether through friends, family, or random adventures. I've encountered dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, understanding that each one has its own unique needs. I currently have a 90lb gentle giant named Wilbert, who’s almost 3 years old. He’s great with everyone, trained very well, and capable of being off-leash. I’m incredibly proud of the training I’ve done with him. I want you to feel completely comfortable entrusting me with your dog, and I will treat them with love and provide whatever special care plan you desire! My schedule is pretty flexible; I work online on my own time, so I can quickly create a convenient personalized schedule for your pet's care. I prioritize safety and trust by ensuring pets are always supervised and comfortable in a secure environment. I create a calm, clean space, tailored to each pet's needs.
“Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!”
About: Pet care is what I do! At your service anytime, day or night. Willing to negotiate fees for special needs and circumstances. I have over three and a half years of doggie daycare work experience, and have been pet sitting part time for over six years. It’s been my pleasure to know, care for, and live with more species and age ranges of animals than I can count, including puppies and senior dogs and cats. Animals have been ruling my life for the better part of a decade. Feeding, playing with and administering medication to dogs and cats is what everything revolves around in my world. I like to walk any dogs I’m watching at least twice a day, but everything else, feeding times, medicine, treats etc. is up to the client.
“Megan house sat for my 2 big dogs and 2 cats for 6 days while we went away. She kept us updated with photos at least once a day and responded immediately to any and all concerns. I can’t say enough about the love and care she gave to my boys. Highly recommend Megan for any and all pet care needs!”
“This is the first time Janasha watched the dogs! She always stayed in communication and gave updates at least three times a day without even asking for them. We came home and the pups seemed to be in the best mood and while taking care of! Thankful for her care and accountability! The pics of the girls throughout the weekend was a plus :)”
South Linden pet parents share their Rover experiences
CeCe is beyond wonderful! She took great care of our home and our sassy boy, Theo. She was prompt with communication before and during her stay, and sent us the best pictures of Theo often. She went the extra mile in every way and we can’t wait to hire her again!
Katlyn is the best! This was our second time asking her to housesit and she did a fabulous job! She follows all care instructions, leaves the house super clean, is very trustworthy, and our anxious pup Archie loves her! Will definitely be asking Katlyn to housesit again soon!
Diane did such a wonderful job watching my two dogs on short notice when I was out of town for 4 days. One of them is a 2-year-old foster who is highly energetic and also very dog-reactive on walks, the other is a saint but also had diarrhea while I was gone. Not the easiest assignment for a sitter! But Diane was a trooper in handling them and did a great job staying in contact with me about their status and sending pics & videos, too. She really did care about their well-being and that is not always the case on Rover. Suffice to say I would gladly have Diane watch my pups again if I need a sitter.
Grace was amazing. I booked the wrong days. She helped me correct the dates. It was a last minute booking and was a huge stress relief when she was able to accommodate. She sent me pictures of my babies to let me know they were doing well. Will be definitely using Grace again!
We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Ashley on such short notice ahead of the holidays. Our dates were in flux and we couldn't book as far in advance as we would have liked. I was VERY anxious booking someone new for a full week (as our normal sitter was not available) especially given we have a senior cat that requires regular meds, but Ashley did everything in her power to make this paranoid cat mom feel at ease! She stopped by for a meet and greet ahead of the booking. She sent loads of pictures and updates, including regular updates on how my senior boy was doing taking his meds. Both cats seemed very comfortable with her as evidenced by the snuggles my senior cat gave and the very limited number of hisses from our spicy girl. When we got home, the house was in impeccable shape and Ashley even brought in our mail/packages, which I greatly appreciated! We will definitely be rebooking with Ashley next time we need someone to watch the buddies!
