About: I have had pets for 17 years and so far I have 2 cats and 5 very friendly dogs. I know every behavior and jests at them or if they feel sick I am at home full time. The only time I go out is to go to the market and the occasional medical appointment. The rest of the time I will be caring for and raising your little loved one.

“Amelia watched our two dogs, cat and house for 10 days and did an amazing job. The animals loved her and she took great care of our home while she was here. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Jackie was very helpful and patient with our shorty bulldog. He can be quite particular on walks or around other dogs. She constantly updated us with photos and information regarding his medicine. Would definitely be utilizing her services in the future. We would highly recommend booking with Jackie!”
“Our dog Bo loves Sarah and we’re so happy he feels comfortable around her. He’s pretty high energy so she will take him outside and play fetch which is his favorite! She’s also really patient with him because he can be a little temperamental and we appreciate that!”
“Bernie, in his older age, has a hard time connecting to people, so it is so hard to leave him. Marie Pierre figured out his needs, and was able to truly connect with Bernie, and as I received daily reports, I was thrilled to know he was hanging out with her, and not just sleeping in his bed, as that is what he will do if he is not a fan of someone. Marie Pierre made sure to communicate and check-in daily, and I know Bernie was totally comfortable in her care.”
“Norberto is incredibly prompt and responsive, and handled our high-energy husky like a professional. Norberto is very loving and affectionate as well, and it was a huge relief to have our dog in such capable hands while on vacation. I will definitely use Norberto again in the future.”

“Tatiana was fabulous with our boys! We needed someone to watch our older dogs on short notice and she was available for a meet and greet right away, and we booked with her immediately. She kept us updated while we were away with photos of our dogs, daily updates on their walks and activities, and questions to make sure she was giving them the best care. We won't hesitate to rebook with Tatiana in the future.”

Southwest pet parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our two dogs while we were away on vacation. From the start, Melissa took the time to understand our dogs’ routines and made sure everything stayed consistent, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and bedtime habits. What impressed us most was how quickly our dogs grew comfortable and trusting Melissa. One of our dogs can be a little skittish at first, but it was clear they felt safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for the entire time we were gone. We also appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind when we were away. Coming home to two happy, calm dogs confirmed they were in great hands. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!
I can’t thank Allison enough for the incredible care she gave my dog. As a first-time Rover user with a very anxious pup, I was incredibly nervous about leaving him, especially since he was just one of four dogs she was looking after. However, Allison went above and beyond to make sure he felt special and safe. She sent hourly photo updates and sweet comments that kept me connected to him during my event. Seeing his happy face in a house full of new friends completely put my heart at ease. She turned what could have been a stressful day into a smooth, wonderful experience. If you have a nervous dog, she is truly the best person to trust!
Greatest person to watch your dog. Very flexible with any times and treats your dog like one of his own. And he takes great care of his dogs for sure. Tyler will dedicate the entire time you book to making your pet feel like a rockstar and it doesn’t get any better than that.
We’ve used Carla multiple times and have always had a great experience. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly care about our dog. We get regular updates and photos, and our pup is always happy and relaxed when we get home. It makes everything so much easier knowing our dog is in good hands. Highly recommend.
I would totally recommend Eleanor! It was my first time having a dog sitter and she was excellent. My husband and I were worried about leaving as we just moved here but Eleanor made everything a breeze. She took great care of our dog and sent updates multiple times a day! Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely book with her again!
This is the second time Kaitlin has looked after Lola. The day before our trip, Lola had a problem with her eye, and the vet prescribed drops. Kaitlin reassured us that she was in good hands. She was so patient and loving with Lola. She administered the drops and sent us pictures and updates. Her eye was getting better and better! We were able to enjoy our son's graduation and return home with a happy dog! Kaitlin is the best! I'm so glad we found her!
Emma was wonderful with my pets! My cat is shy around strangers and also is diabetic. He warmed up to Emma quickly, and she gave him his insulin shots without a problem. She kept me updated with pictures and videos. When you're on vacation, seeing them, even in pictures, is important!
