“Stephanie was super attentive with Loki, and made sure he had water and food all weekend. First time booking her and I will absolutely be booking her again, and telling my friends about it. She sent me 30+ pictures of him everyday, and gave me a detailed description on how the visit went.”


“Sara was truly wonderful with our pets! She was flexible and able to accommodate us over the holidays and truly went above and beyond to make sure our cats were happy and healthy while we were gone. It’s such a relief to have found a person we can trust with our pets!”


“The absolute best!! I’ve been using Gerano for months now. He’s checked in on my dogs several times that ive been out of town. My dogs love him. He is very communicative. He does a fantastic job. Always on time and extremely reliable.”

“Astro Otis and Teddy love Elmer! Elmer is a regular and they love playing with him. He’s a natural with dogs and does well with the mom and son duo. We are happy that Elmer is part of the fam !”

“Kimberly was on time and really good with my little boys. What was most helpful is that she was available for a last minute request. Great first time experience for me. Will hire next time if she’s available.”

“Thank you Robin for taking such great care for my pups. One of my dogs is quite timid and is scared of her own shadow. It makes business travel a challenge for me. Robin was very patient and eventually my dog warmed up to her. I had a flight delay and I needed an unexpected extra booking. Robin was super accommodating. She is awesome”

“Geneva is a very patient pet sitter! I had a bit of trouble with my booking and she helped me through it and never made me feel bad about it. Would definitely recommend her and use her services again.”

“Joe has been taking great care of my dog, August. He is very thorough with his visits, leaving my pup happy and well-exercised along with a good note and some pictures so I know my dog is happy! Joe is very reliable, and my dog is noticeably happier after his visits. Thank you for taking great care of my dog!”

About: I have been around animals all my life and grew up with dogs and cats, I raised my own dog Lola as a pup & have helped take care of many cats and cats and dogs for friends and family :) I’m currently not working for the month of May, I work as a travel nurse and my next contract doesn’t starts until June so I am flexible for drop ins/walks or overnight stays :) I live in an apartment on the 1st floor so grassy areas are very accessible and fenced in dog park in complex as well. I live with 2 fury friends Tutu (cat) stays in my roommates room normally very shy but polite to cats and dogs alike. My dog Lola is very well mannered and loves all fury and non fury friends she loves having friends over :)
About: I do not remember a time where my family did not have dogs. I have been taking care of dogs since I can remember and currently have a dog of my own. She has been one of the best things that has happened to me and I wouldn't trade her for the world. I love dogs and would enjoy being around them all of the time. It sounds like the best job ever! It makes my day so much better when I come home to my dogs and I definitely understand how important dogs are and how much of a difference they can have in a persons life. Since I got a dog who I called my own I wouldn't trade her for the world. I have moved to a different state for school and unfortunately could not bring my dog with me. I would love to spend time with your fur babies and treat them as my own! I am currently going to school full time, therefore I have a pretty flexible schedule that will allow me to spend quality time with your pups! I am in an apartment with a balcony, but my apartment does have a “dog park on site” with some room to run and get some energy out.
“Amazing. Always checked in daily and sent photos. Was very responsive and caring. I could tell my cat really cared for her and felt safe. I could definitely rely on Dena to care for my pet. Thank you again. I will book again next time!”

About: I am great with dogs and have plenty of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have three corgis, and through raising them I’ve developed a strong understanding of how to keep pets happy, active, and well cared for. They love to play and stay active, and I enjoy giving them the attention and exercise they need every day. I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember, which is where I learned responsibility, patience, and the unconditional love that comes with caring for animals. I’m passionate about providing that same level of care, attention, and affection to every pet I look after. Available evenings and weekends. I work Monday - Friday from 7:30 - 3:30. Fridays I work until 4:30pm. I have weekends and holidays since I work for a private school. I can easily follow instruction. I am good with giving animals medication, keeping them on a schedule and provide lots of fun and cuddles. I always want to maintain a safe environment for our furry friend.
About: I've been a dog's best friend for over 4 years! I've cared for four amazing pups and have countless hours of experience keeping them happy and healthy. I'm not just a sitter, I'm an extension of your loving family. Whether it's long walks in the park, engaging playtime, or personalized cuddles, I cater to each dog's unique needs and energy level. I'm passionate about creating unforgettable adventures and showering them with love, because let's be honest, every dog deserves to be treated like royalty! I work mostly remote so I will be able to take care of your pup’s food and playtime needs! I am typically available weekends and weekdays after 5pm! Whether at your home or mine, I provide a safe, loving environment with personalized care, tailored to each pup's unique needs. I can't share specific details here, but rest assured I follow owner instructions and prioritize your pet's well-being. Ready to see your pup wagging their tail? Let's chat!
Southwest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jaime does an excellent job taking care of our puppy. We really appreciate how calm and patient Jaime is, which helps balance out our puppy’s energetic personality. It’s clear that Jaime genuinely cares, and we always feel comfortable knowing our pup is in such good hands. Thank you, Jaime!
Fantastic sitter! They took great care of our two dogs and kept us updated throughout their stay. Our pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention. We felt completely at ease while away and would gladly book with them again. Highly recommend!

Elmer was so amazing. He has so much patience and knowledge. My male dog has anxiety and he did his best to work with him and get him as comfortable as possible. He was quick to update and super communicative. They both loved him. Thank you for working extra hard !

Holly has been absolutely wonderful with our babies. She is kind, attentive, and incredibly caring. She keeps us updated throughout the day and sends pictures of everything, which gives us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she truly enjoys spending time with them — she plays, engages, and entertains them so lovingly. She’s also an amazing photographer! The pictures she sends aren’t just updates — they’re beautiful, frame-worthy moments we genuinely treasure. We feel so lucky to have found Holly and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family. 💛

Jenny was amazing! Our dog absolutely loved her. She took great care of him, kept the house super tidy, and sent the cutest pictures while we were away. Her communication was awesome and made me feel so comfortable the whole time. She’s such a great fit for us — I’d definitely book her again anytime she’s available. Highly recommend!
