“Laura was great! She took great care of my dog and 4 cats. Laura was responsive and polite and seems to really love animals. She did everything I asked and sent pictures and updates multiple times per day. Highly recommend.”
“Lexi was super helpful, taking on a last minute request for my spoiled little chiweenie. I came to a happy pup and my house just as a left it. I would definitely call Lexi again!”
“Sarah did a wonderful job caring for Bart and Poppy for nearly two weeks in our home. She communicated and sent pictures regularly and also managed our plants. We feel confident and trust that she would demonstrate the same level of professionalism with your pets and home. We plan to use Sarah again and give her a very high recommendation. Thank you Sarah!”
“Teresa always goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of our fur kids! They absolutely LOVE her and we know that they are being well cared for while we are gone. She is in constant communication giving us updates and sending us photos. She is the best caregiver! When we need a pet sitter, Teresa is our first call! Highly recommend!”
“Alyssa was amazing with our 2 dogs. She was dependable. She followed our dogs schedule. She kept us updated whole we were gone. I could trust her completely in our home. We will use her again.”
“Jules was great! We used her for day sitting our dog since we were going to be gone most of the day. She gave me updates, took a picture and provided feedback on how/what he was doing.”
About: I have taken up a couple overnight dog/house sitting gigs. I am ready to take on last minute jobs and am very communicative and dependable. I will be able to take up any pet/house care anytime over the summer. Whether this means walking, feeding, sitting or bathing! Dogs or Cats! Depending on the pet, I will play with or just keep watch over them. I do an exceptional job of following directions and keeping tidy!
“Heidi was a wonderful sitter for our sweet pup. She communicated well and gave us all the updates. She took care of our home and was so patient as we worked through some issues with our air conditioner as well. We would let her puppy sit again and again(:”
“Lauren is amazing. Our dogs and cats absolutely love her and she always keeps us updated with texts and pictures! We are so grateful to have found such an amazing pet sitter!”
“Nicholas and Melissa were top notch, 10/10! They took such amazing care of our pup and were so respectful to our home. We got tons of update pictures as requested and they were always in communication. Our vacation was totally stress free because we knew our pup was safe, sound, and happy at home. Thank you!”
“Carissa was a very knowledgeable professional sitter. She shared pics and information about the dogs on a regular basis. She kept us informed about how they were doing and they seemed very happy. We appreciate everything she did. We will be calling her everything we need a sitter. The dogs also seemed to love her and we're happy with her services.”
“Jerri did a wonderful job with our baby. She sent pictures and videos daily and kept us up to date. The house was left clean with nothing disturbed. We have already booked her again!”
“Great job - as always. Loved the pix. Knowing you were watching over the pups - and that they were relaxed and comfortable at home - made it so much easier to focus on getting through everything else. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
“Cathryn is wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Lucy who is highly energetic. She kept us updated with pictures each day and was accommodating when things popped up. This was our first time using rover after changing dog sitters and I’m so thankful we found her!”
About: We have had my family dog for over 10 years and I had the pleasure of learning how to train a puppy. From potty training to teaching her tricks, it was such an experience to be able to grow up alongside a furry family member. I typically work about six to eight hours a day, monday-friday. I am completely free nights and weekends and am willing to do check-ins as needed. As someone who owns pets, I would want a caretaker to treat them with the best care they can provide, which is what I strive to do.

Kelly did a wonderful job house-sitting for our two pups over a long weekend. She kept us apprised throughout the weekend with wonderful updates and pictures as well. She took great care of the house, and we felt safe knowing our pups were in good hands. We can't wait to use Kelly's services again soon!

We appreciate everything she did. We will be calling her everything we need a sitter. The dogs also seemed to love her and we're happy with her services.
Jessica is outstanding! She stayed in our home with our 2 dogs. She was very good about communicating and sending pictures daily. It really relieved any anxiety we felt at having to leave our “kids” for an extended period of time. The house was left in PERFECT order and the pups were well cared for. I couldn’t ask for a better experience.
Lauren took such great care of our crew! We were a little anxious leaving our cats and dogs overnight for the first time and Lauren made us feel at ease. When we returned home our house was left exactly as we left it. Additionally, some of our most shy cats came out to see her which is so rare for them! We are so happy to have found Lauren and look forward to having her take care of our pets in the future
If I could leave more than 5 stars I would!!! ✨ Brioni went over and above for us and Milly. She sent updates the entire time we were gone. Played and loved on her a lot. She even gave her a bath without us asking because Milly got a little dirty. To top it all she left us the sweetest note and picture of Milly in a frame!! Can't recommend Brioni enough! We will be using her again for sure!! ❤️
Casey is amazing! We needed a sitter for our new puppy and our senior dog last minute and she provided nothing but the best care. Our routine was followed to the tee and we came home to happy doggos. She sent pictures and kept us updated - such a win since this our first time using rover and leaving our fur babies with someone else. She is a top notch sitter!
Ana was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She was incredibly diligent, kind, and attentive, and it was clear she truly cared about my dog’s comfort and well being. She stayed at my home, kept everything tidy. Knowing my dog was in such loving and responsible hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ana to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and caring sitter. I would happily book her again!
This is the third time we have hired Lexi in the last six weeks.... and there is a reason she has become our "go-to" sitter -- our kitties love her, and she does a great job. There is not much we can say that has not already been written in prior reviews -- we are very happy having Lexi take care of our home and our cats while we are out of town. :-)
Milinda, your professionalism & love for animals shine brightly! Thank you for caring for our dogs and cat as if they were your own! The fact that you put extra TLC into our Pug’s eye situation shows what an exemplary human you are! The house was left exactly as you found, & that is much appreciated! You’re responsible, trustworthy, communicative, & very caring! We can’t wait to utilize your services again! THANK YOU GENUINELY!
Andrea was great!!! She kept in contact with us frequently while we were gone with pics and videos. One of my dogs is extremely she and she took to Andrea quickly. She has such a good energy that she won her heart right away. I felt so comfortable knowing that my Charlotte liked her. We plan on a week long trip next year and will definitely book Andrea again!!
Absolutely wonderful experience! Was nervous to leave my cranky old floof but she was so well taken care of and Kristin kept me updated with lots of pics and great communication about meds and food!! Last minute booking and it couldn’t have gone better!! Can’t recommend highly enough! I’m an overly anxious dog mom and Kristin just did such a fantastic job with my sweet girl and with communicating everything, I couldn’t be happier!!! 🙌 Would absolutely book again!!!
Leah was AMAZING with our dogs. She gave us updates with them and gave them so much love. I can tell she’s a dog person because of the way the dogs act with her and the love and compassion she shows them. I would recommend Leah 10/10 and will use her at every possible dog sitting opportunity we have!
