“Amy was very agreeable and came over to meet us before the first visit, which I really appreciated. My dogs don’t always meet new people well and can be slow to warm up, Amy was kind and patient while they sniffed her and overcame that! I have already booked others visit with her!”
“Sydney was great! We booked last minute and were really relieved she was able to drop in on our kitties while we were away. She communicated well and made us feel like we didn’t have to worry. I realized I missed a few things in my instructions but she was able to roll with it and take care of everything. We really appreciated her help and would be happy to book with her again.”
“Jannatul was amazing! She took great care of our two cats. Through videos and text messages, she did a great job of keeping us informed of our cats' well-being. We will definitely ask Jannatul to cat sit again.”
“Brittany was great with our pup and she dropped by on time and sent us lovely pictures as well to keep us posted. Highly recommend her for big energetic dogs like ours and will definitely ask her to watch our Chloe again next time!!”
“Took wonderful care of my kitties! They're fed in a particular way and she took care of that no problem. Definitely booking Kimberly again whenever I need a sitter for them again!”
About: While I have little experience with pets I have had pets my entire life. I am absolutely adore dogs. I can't wait to meet your sweet babies! I'm preparing to go back to school in the fall so I have as much time as I could possibly need to play with and take care of your pets I will follow along with whatever you already do at home to make sure your pets are the most comfortable and safe they can be.
“Ashley has been so good to Dozer. She is his weekly companion for lunch time walks. She is quick to respond and communicates when she has a scheduling conflict. We have enjoyed Dozer's pics for every walk. Thank you Ashley!”
“The best Rover ever for my cats! Great, consistent communication about all her visits and Jiamin went above and beyond caring for my two little angels. I will definitely be booking again and would encourage anyone else to do the same!”
“Megan was a fantastic sitter for our dog, Maverick and cat, Alfred. She was right on time for each of the drop-in visits requested, was thorough in detailing her care, and communicated what was going on every step of the way. I highly recommend Megan and her animal care services.”
“Katie is a conscientious and caring dog-sitter. She did a great job establishing trust and providing emotional comfort to our dogs while we were away. One of our dogs is particularly anxious when we leave, and he responded well to Katie. Both of our dogs loved her. They received excellent care, and we appreciated the written updates and photos.”
“Absolutely fantastic Petsit!! Seth took care of my pup recovering from surgery on 3 legs. He asked the right questions and was genuinely interested in the comfort and care of our little boy!! Very thankful and I will be booking him again!”
“We just went on a 10 day vacation to Europe, on a completely different time zone and we never once worried about our babies! Mia is incredibly responsive, kind, professional, and goes above and beyond with her photos and comments for each visit. We are so lucky to have her as our Rover!”
“Maxine was so helpful for daily check-ins for our puppy, Nala! She sent great photo updates and checked in as needed. She is flexible and asked great questions to make sure she stuck to the routine we have going. We will definitely contact Maxine in the future for walks!”
South Riding dog parents share their Rover experiences
Amy is amazing. In all of my years of dog parenting, Amy is the first dog sitter we have met who cares for our dogs as though they were her own. She took so much time and energy to walk them, play with them, make sure they were happy, hydrated, and engaged in our absence. Amy is amazing!! We were completely at ease with her in charge! Plus, the dogs love her!
Nouf took great care of my senior dog and cat. She gave me peace of mind while my boyfriend and I were away. My cat ran out the door (because she’s crazy!) and she was able to quickly catch her and bring her back inside safely. Reliable, responsible, responsive, and gave detailed updates + lots of pictures! I would recommend her if you are looking for someone who can handle your furbabies!
Tamara and Frank were excellent dog sitters for our two golden doodles. We were away for a week and had them do house visits three times a day over Christmas Break. They were amazing with our dogs and never missed a visit despite being over the holiday. They provided so many updates and photos which really helped my anxiety. We will definitely be rebooking them for future trips!
This was my first time using the Rover app to find someone to help me with my new puppy. Aditi was highly reviewed and I must say she was incredible. Extremely response, showed up on time, communicated throughout the entire visit and was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.
