“William did an amazing job watching our dog while we were gone. We were nervous given her breed and it being her first time being dog sat, but William was up for the challenge and did better than we could’ve hoped for. Great communication the whole time as well which we appreciated so much! He will be our go-to moving forward. Definitely recommend!!”
“Jeena was pretty amazing... lots of pics of our 2 pups while we were gone for 8 days. She took great care of them while staying at our house...Lots of treats, play time and snuggle time. She cleaned up after herself as well including doing the laundry of the towels and sheets and took out the trash. Will definitely request to have her come back the next time we need someone to watch our 2 boys. Thank you Jenna :)”
“Erica was an awesome pet sitter! Our dog loved her and she took great care of him. She kept us updated on how he was doing, even through a tornado. Would definitely recommend!”
“Carolyn was wonderful! She contacted us as soon as she ran into an issue (that ended up being very minor), and sent us pictures and updates throughout. She was also very gracious and understanding when Gomez’s bladder was NOT gracious or understanding! Thank you, Carolyn!”
“Natalee did an amazing job looking after our dogs and ferrets while we were away for the weekend! Natalee was communicative both leading up to and during the stay. Our dogs tend to be anxious when we leave but they both were happy little clams after their weekend with Natalee. 10/10 would book again.”
“Becky did a wonderful job caring for my pet. She was very happy and relaxed when I returned home and my house was in great shape. I will definitely ask Becky to help me again with my pet when I leave town next.”

“Haley was wonderful with Piper! She followed all pipers instructions and schedules, and left our home even cleaner than when we left! She even stayed late on the last day when our flight was delayed due to bad weather so Piper wouldn’t be alone. Would highly recommend!”
“Callie was absolutely amazing while house-sitting my dog for 3 nights! She gave me multiple updates everyday with pictures and videos. A truly anxiety-free experience and would 100% book again.”
“Amy is the best! She was very loving and attentive to our dog. I could tell she had great repertoire with dogs upon her meet and greet. Sequoia was super comfortable with Amy and Amy got our pup’s personality right away. She sent great updates and check ins during our time away. I would absolutely book her services again.”
“Julia was very responsive to our messages, very respectful and kept our house in great shape, and sent us pictures of our pup during our time away! She did great!”
“Maya was great! We reached out to her two days before we left on our trip when another sitter cancelled on us due to a family emergency. Maya stepped in and saved our trip! She even made time to come meet our dog ahead of time that same day. She took great care of our dog and house and sent lots of updates.”
“Asia is a wonderful sitter. She kept Cooper for an extended period for me and was very flexible with scheduling. She has extensive experience with dogs and can read cues and knows how to give them space if needed, especially for my anxious pup. I came home to a clean house and living plants too :) I will definitely be rebooking with Asia when I can in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Megan is a very responsible and reliable dog sitter. She stayed with my puppy for a weekend and did a great job. It was such a relief to know that my dog was in good hands. Frankie bonded with her and was sad to see her leave. I would have her sit for Frankie again without hesitation.”
“Devon did a great job taking care of my two young cavapoos for 2 weeks in my home. She handled their complex diets well and was willing to co-ordinate visits/walks from family and friends during my absence. She also responded to all of my queries about how the pups were doing as this was my first long vacation without the dogs. She was all very accommodating about their daily schedule as well as any issues with the house and snow storm!”
“D’Andra was the best! Our animals loved having her and she even made friends with our scaredy cat. She took care of our house and animals like they were her own. We will definitely be using her again! Thank you D’Andra!”
About: I've always loved animals. I have a zoo at my house with 3 cats, a puppy, a bunny, and a turtle. Playing with all of them is the highlight of my day. I've been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 15. I've even trained a few of their dogs. Dogs are my favorite animal but I like cats as well. If it's ok with you I will bring my own all natural treats to share with your fur babies. If you allow me to watch your dogs, you won't have to worry about me leaving you with a mess. I always leave a space better than how I found it. If I stay overnight for multiple nights I will also walk your dogs. I do have a full time job but will spend as much time as possible with your babies. I typically have evenings and weekends free I will treat your pets the way you do and ensure every safety measure possible is met. I'll make sure to follow any and all instructions you provide.

Chloe F.
“Chloe has done a wonderful job of taking care of our dog and 2 cats! Our setup can be particularly difficult to navigate, since the dog and cats don't get along, and so they need to be cared for separately. But Chloe has always made sure their needs are met, and beyond that, she engages our animals while we're away so that they receive affection and attention beyond the basics. Highly recommend Chloe to anyone who is looking!”
Southwest Garden pet parents share their Rover experiences
I went out of town for the weekend and was SO thankful that Gaby was free. She didn’t skip a beat with my three dogs and even checked up on my chickens! My house was exactly as I had left it, and she was incredibly respectful of our home and our animals. It can be difficult leaving your pets with someone new, but I wasn’t worried at all leaving them with Gaby!
We ended up hiring Olivia at the last minute to watch our Australian Cattle Dog and three cats for the weekend. She was awesome! She kept in touch while we were gone, made sure everyone was taken care of, and left the house just how we left it. I even told her not to worry about the litter boxes, but she did them anyway. Little things like that say a lot. We’d definitely bring her back next time we need someone and highly recommend her!
Marsha is complete magic! One of our dogs wasn’t eating and having accidents before we left to go out of town for a long weekend. By the time we got home Taco was consistently eating his meals and had NO accidents while we were away. Marsha is a super communicator and sent loads of photos. We could see how happy our dogs were with her there. We already re-booked with her for our next trip! Absolutely fantastic dog / house sitter!

Kyle did a wonderful job watching Paco, who was happy and well taken care of. It takes time for Paco to warm up, but Kyle managed to bring him around. I’m very happy with the care he provided and his having kept the house in good shape. He kept me fully informed and sent very cute pictures. I would not hesitate to ask him to watch Paco again. My thanks to Kyle!
At the meet and great, our dog was calm and happy to meet Kartik. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog under the care of Kartik. he kept us updated with photos and descriptions of our dog’s day. And, he handled unexpected construction in our house with aplomb. We hope to book Kartik again.
Ashley stepped in after a [very] short-notice cancellation from a different sitter left us one day from our vacation without coverage for our two dogs. Sight unseen, Ashley agreed to take care of our dogs for almost a week! She was proactive about communication, sent literally DOZENS of pictures, befriended our younger dog under less than optimal conditions, and left our home as she found it. We're very happy with the job she did, and would recommend Ashley to others without reservation!
