“Came back from my trip and our Shiba seemed actually sad (in his way) that Kenya was leaving. We were noting how much he’s grown accustomed to having Kenya around. They definitely have a bond.”
“Marie took such good care of Genevieve while I was out of town! She stayed overnight with her, brushed her, and made sure she was well fed and played with. I was very grateful to not have to worry about Genevieve while I was away, knowing Marie was with her and keeping her company. I returned home to a very clean apartment and a happy cat. Communication was always easy and Marie sent pictures the entire time. Thank you for everything, Marie! It was so great to meet you!”
“We absolutely loved Izabella!! She took amazing care of our two big rescue dogs and went above and beyond with taking care of our house! We couldn't recommend her more and can't wait to leave town again knowing that our dogs will be well looked after!”
“Juli is the best! She writes beautiful diaries about my Lui and Maple’s day. You can see she takes great pride in her work. She also takes amazing pictures and videos. I’m really grateful for her.”
“Dwight is extremely accommodating and friendly. He goes above and beyond to take care of our dog, Keaton. We know Keaton will be in amazing hands when Dwight is taking care of him. We hope to have Dwight care for Keaton for more vacations and long days of ours in the future!”
“Kaia was absolutely fabulous. She treated our fur baby as if he was hers. She sent us tons of videos and pictures. Communication was wonderful and we felt very comfortable with her staying in our home. We will certainly be using Kaia in the future and would recommend her to others as well. ☺️”
“Gabrielle was wonderful! Our Dog Liberty had so much fun with her, she even got her to walk on her leash and walks without pulling, which we can never do, so not only did she do a great job walking and taking care of her, she was teaching/training her as well! We got tons of pics and videos and updates and she left our house nice and clean when she was done! We will definitely be using her again and trust her anytime with our pup!”
“Dalia is great! She watched my house and my cat, Lana, overnight for a few days while I was on vacation. Dalia sent lots of updates and cute pictures, even a little action shot of Lana jumping off her tree! Lana is the only pet in the house but she’s a cuddler and very social cat and it was so comforting knowing Dalia was there to play with her and keep her company. It really helped me enjoy my time away. When I returned Lana was her usual self which tells me she was cared for like I’d never left. I will absolutely be asking Dalia again, and you should too if you’re looking for a reliable and communicative animal lover to take care of your best bud!”
“Monserrat accommodated the last minute change to my schedule and traveled back and forth from her house daily to spend the day with our girls. I greatly appreciate her willingness and flexibility.”
“If I could leave 6 stars for Ian, I would. We did a meet and greet and what stood out to me was how attentive he was and how he took notes on both Maui and my homes care. While away, Ian kept me updated on how Maui was doing and ensured he was happy. I truly appreciate how much Ian respected my home and left it tidy and clean.”
“This was a last minute trip to Orlando an Danny is about as sweet and caring as they come. We have never left our Poncho with anyone so far from home. He kept in touch a sent pictures and was so attentive to our requests a spoiling of my baby. We will definitely use him again in this area. I highly recommend Danny”
About: Hi! My name is Jack :) I have spent the past several years working as a veterinary technician, caring for animals in a professional medical setting. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. I love building trust with animals and helping them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets, so you can travel with confidence knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I strive to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care, I will work with you to ensure their feeding, exercise, medication, and enrichment schedules are maintained. Consistency is important for both cats and dogs, and my goal is to keep their day-to-day routine familiar and stress-free while you’re away. I am happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and create a care plan that works best for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician with several years of experience, I am trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or distress and respond appropriately. I provide a calm, patient, and low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires medication, I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by an experienced animal care professional.
“Colleen did an amazing job caring for our 2 cats and house for almost 2 weeks! Also, she kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip, which gave us peace of mind. We came home to happy cats and a spotless house. We will definitely be booking with Colleen again!”
“So Robin was actually more than what I had expected. She asked me to leave instructions to follow for my girls which she absolutely did. Made me feel completely at ease with my girls. Really don't know what else to say but I felt so comfortable that I'm hoping that she will sit for my girls again. Pictures she took and sent me where hilarious. I have a two and a half year old pitbull and cookies that has decided that she wants to smile all the time now and Robin took a picture first thing in the morning after they woke up there was my Cookie smiling away. Robin thank you for everything that you did for myself and pumpkin and cookies I would definitely recommend you to anyone.”
“Kiri watched our dogs in our home and she did a great job. She was on time, took the time for our sometimes timid dogs to get comfortable and she sent lots of pictures. Our boys seemed happy when we came home!”
“Makenna dog sat for us for 4 nights and was great! She sent pictures daily and kept me in the loop. Dogs seemed happy as ever! She also was a great guest - stripped the bed before leaving and kept the house tidy. Will be rebooking. Thanks again!!!”
“Kris is a ray of sunshine! She took perfect care of our bulldog and our home. She even took the initiative to close up a shed I had forgotten I'd left open and saved from potential theft or storm damage! We are so grateful for her care.”
“I was a initially hesitant about a higher rate sitter, but Susan had the extra background check, had reviews from multiple clients, and took her own time for a meet and greet before we booked so we could get to know her and her passion for caring for others. She took great care of my bulldog while I took a nearby staycation. The peace of mind proved worthwhile. We have already booked her for another longer stay and are thankful Rover connected us!”
“Elba is the absolute best pet sitter!!!! We went away for vacation and needed around the clock care. Elba was very thorough with the instructions and information we gave her. She took care of our animals as if they were her own. She gave updates every single day and sent the best pictures. Our animals were so happy and loved while we were away. And Elba even went above and beyond when we had a tree branch from a neighboring yard fall during a storm and damage our fence. She kept me notified and sent pictures. I would absolutely recommend Elba for anyone who is looking for a trustworthy person to care for your pets! We will most definitely be using Elba in the future to take care of our fur babies!!!!!!!”

I am thankful and grateful to Katarina. She stayed overnight with my three dogs for the weekend. She was reliable communicated well and sent pictures throught her stay. My dogs can be a handful but were relaxed and comfortable with her. Would recommend her and look forward to using her again.
Elba is a fantastic pet sitter!!!!! She definitely treats your fur babies as her own and takes the best care of them! She has great communication and keeps you informed the whole time you are away. And she sends picture updates every day!!!! We look forward to continuing booking her to look after our fur babies!
Robin was great! She arrived on time and took care of our precious pets! She kept us informed and took pictures of the pets, we could see they were enjoying themselves. This was our first time having a pet sitter to our home and Robin made us feel very comfortable and did an excellent job. We will definitely have her back again!
Kaia was wonderful with my pitbull Guillermo. He took to her immediately and loved his time with her. Guillermo can sometimes refuse to eat when he is upset and he had no issues with Kaia. She even made sure to put on his glowing collar for his walk after dark. Highly recommend and will be booking many overnight stays in my home with Kaia.
Kevin is an absolute gem! I recently had him watch my two dogs for three days while I was away in Phoenix, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I dropped them off, I knew they were in great hands. Kevin is attentive, caring, and genuinely loves animals — my pups came back happy, well-fed, and clearly well looked after. It’s not easy finding someone you can fully trust with your fur babies, especially for multiple days at a time, but Kevin made the whole experience completely stress-free. I didn’t have to worry for a single second while I was away. He went above and beyond, and it really showed. If you’re looking for someone reliable, loving, and responsible to care for your dogs, look no further than Kevin. I will absolutely be calling him again the next time I need a dog sitter. Highly, HIGHLY recommend! 🐾
Dalia is great! She watched my house and my cat, Lana, overnight for a few days while I was on vacation. Dalia sent lots of updates and cute pictures, even a little action shot of Lana jumping off her tree! Lana is the only pet in the house but she’s a cuddler and very social cat and it was so comforting knowing Dalia was there to play with her and keep her company. It really helped me enjoy my time away. When I returned Lana was her usual self which tells me she was cared for like I’d never left. I will absolutely be asking Dalia again, and you should too if you’re looking for a reliable and communicative animal lover to take care of your best bud!
Danii took excellent care of our 15-year-old dog, Ghetta, in our home for 26 days. She was always quick to respond and consistently sent photos, videos, and daily progress reports. Danii handled Ghetta’s medication and special needs with remarkable attention. We came home to a spotless house and a very happy dog. She even waited for us when our flight was delayed, which we truly appreciated. Thank you so much!
My first experience with Rover is with Cristina, Cristina is fabulous with our puppy, Dash. Cristina played with Dash, brought him to the dog park and took him on various walks. Cristina is very pleasant, happy, and passes on her confident personality which makes a first-time Rover-user like me, feel confident when leaving their puppy with the caretaker for the day!! And Dash could sense immediately the pleasant character of Cristina, so he showed readiness in leaving his Mama, which came as a surprise to me!! When we come back to Central Florida, we will give you a shout! Thank you Cristina!
