“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“This was my first time having Dawn watch my energetic corgi, Cornbread. Dawn did absolutely amazing with her! Cornbread just loves to play and Dawn gave her plenty of attention while I was away and sent plenty of pictures and videos. She kept me updated each day on Cornbread’s health, that she was fine with eating/staying hydrated, and behaving well. She also brought her dog over so Cornbread would have a friend to play with. Lastly she went above and beyond and left a custom sticker of Cornbread from her visit! Would absolutely love to book again with Dawn!”
“We loved having Ariel watch our one year old pup! She treated our dog like her own and sent us daily updates during our trip. She also kept our dog on her usual schedule to help with adjusting as we had not left her for more than a night in the past. I would definitely recommend Ariel for your pet-sitting needs!”
“Isabella did a fantastic job!! there was disappointment in my dogs’s faces when they saw me walk through the door instead of her. I gave her five stars because I was not able to give her six! I would definitely use her again. Thank you Isabella for everything!”
“They got along very well together. He stayed on schedule and was in a happy mood when we returned. This was her third visit and she thought he was fun with his big boy 12 pounds personality.”
“Jimmy was an excellent dog sitter reliable, caring, and great with my dogs. He kept me updated while I was away, and I came home to a happy, well cared for dog and house Highly recommend!”
“Jylesha was a solid puppy and house sitter! We hired Jylesha in a a time crunch and she was very accommodating with our last-minute booking. She communicated quickly and well, and she did exactly as we asked with the dogs. She was a great house guest and we would not hesitate to work with her again!”
“Our dogs seemed to really like Joan. She sent us pictures throughout the weekend and asked questions as needed. We appreciated her attentiveness to our pups. We will be happy to use her again.”
“Courtney was the most thoughtful and thorough caregiver I’ve ever had. She watched over 2 dogs and 2 cats and was communicative about how each one was doing. She even noted that one of the dogs wasn’t feeling well and helped create a plan to make him feel better. This is the most stress free I’ve been when leaving my animals for a long vacation. I could not recommend her more.”
“This is the second time Britney has house sit for us and both have been great experiences. Both my dogs are very happy to have her company when we are away and the house is always spotless when we get back.”
“Alex was great! We received tons of pictures and videos of Roxy while we were gone which was comforting as this was our first time using Rover. The house was the same as when we left it when we arrived home. Alex even went above and beyond by washing the sheets and towels she used while she was here before we returned home. There isn’t enough to say about how great this experience was! Thank you Alex! Roxy cannot wait to see you again soon :)”
“My puppy & cat had a great time hanging out with Emma for the night! I was nervous leaving my puppy for the first time but Emma sent me updates and photos to help calm my nerves!”
“Eliza is the epitome of the perfect sitter - both professional and loving - prompt and responsive and also the "sit on the floor with the dogs" type. We are happy we trusted her with our boys!”
About: I am comfortable with overnight stays, and I also have experience with big dogs (my mom has a 100-pound Golden Retriever). I love taking long walks with dogs as well as chilling for hours with cats. I have a cat of my own named Tillie, who is monocular and the sweetest cat you'll ever meet. I am a student at NCSU studying psychology with lots of flexibility with my schedule. For the summer, I am taking an online class which gives me more time to take care of your animals! I don't offer care in my home because I live in an apartment that only allows one pet, but in your home, I would love to play outside with your dogs and have lots of indoor adventures with your cats!
“Stacey and Jeremy stayed with our dog while we were on vacation. Leaving your house and dog to someone else can be a bit stressful, but as soon as I met them my worries went away. While we were gone, they communicated through texts and pictures. This made us all feel better, as it is never easy leaving your dog. After we got home, I could tell my dog had been well cared for. They also took time to make sure our house was clean and ready for our arrival. Overall, we are lucky to have found Stacey and Jeremy. In fact, we have already booked them for our next vacation.”
“Taylor is amazing! Thank you again for our second booking. She’s everything you want in a sitter. She was perfect with updates and photos. We came home to a clean house and a happy pup. Thank you Taylor!”
About: I have cared for many pets in various neighborhoods of the local area. I provide basic needs and go above and beyond to make sure the pet feels comfortable and cared for while their family is away. I work full-time and will have time to care for pets in the mornings before work and anfternoons after work. I will still make an effort to ensure your pet sticks to their normal routine as close as possible. I require a meet and greet with the pets in their home (to prevent any territorial issues) before the service for any new clients. My current living situation prevents me from hosting pets in my own home, but I ensure the pet is safe and well taken care of in their home, following the care instructions left by the family.
Southwest pet parents share their Rover experiences
First time leaving my pup with anyone other than family and I couldn't have chosen better than Autumn. She definitely relieved my anxiety over leaving my anxious dog. Autumn took great care of Sheyna, worked on her anxiety while taking her on walks, and sent me updates and pictures twice a day. She also left the house so clean you could hardly tell she'd been here. Sheyna's made a new friend and I've found an amazing sitter for her.
Dawn was absolutely wonderful. She stayed at my house with my two dogs and cat and took amazing care of them. She sent videos and pictures of each of them throughout the day, was able to give all the medications, and took amazing care of my home. It was great to be able to just relax on my trip and not have to worry about my fur babies and home.
Highly recommend Helena! We have three cats, two of whom require medication for chronic illnesses, and Helena knows exactly how to get them to take their meds. She also gets my female cat to eat all her food, despite the fact that her appetite is waning due to kidney disease. We never worry about leaving our babies in Helena’s care — she’s a pro!
Kira is fantastic. She is super responsive & I trust her with my two big doodles! Kira watched my dogs for Memorial Day weekend and stayed at my house. She is responsible and trustworthy! Kira communicated her schedule for the weekend ahead of time and gave me a heads up so I’m aware of when she is at the house / needs to step out for other drop ins, which is so appreciated! She checked in everyday and gave me a summary of their day & provided photos. I didn’t think twice about the boys while on vacation, because I knew they were in good hands! Thank you so much!
Caroline took excellent care of our dogs and our home. At our meet and greet she was attentive and detailed. During the sit she communicated daily, followed care instructions, and treated our pups like her own. Home was left tidy and doggos very happy. We happily recommend Caroline and would book with her again.
Alison was great! She was so communicative with us. This was our first time leaving our baby with someone else and from the start she just had qualities that made me feel better about doing so. She asked all good questions, was super timely, and overall I was left without any concerns! Thank you Alison for taking such good care of our girl! Our pup is very young right now and can be quite a handful, but Alison seemed to have handled her very well. Would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Maya was truly the absolute best dog & house sitter! She took amazing care of our dog Layla and home. She was an excellent communicator, sent lots of photos and super sweet. I would trust her for any of your pet sitting needs and would love to hire her again in the future. Thanks for being so awesome!
