“Peter is Fantastic! He was thorough in asking about my pets needs, as well as following requests and a schedule to ensure they got the right amount of exercise and care. He stayed at the house so it was comforting he was there with them the duration of the time he was caring for them. He sent detailed summaries of the day with pictures each evening. I would absolutely work with Peter again!”
“Rachel was wonderful! She was so sweet and compassionate to my sometimes crazy boy. I received daily check-ins/photos, she was communicative, and took great care of my apartment. I can tell that she truly loves animals and was always very kind to me as well. I highly recommend Rachel, your pets will be in good hands.”
About: I have had dogs since I was 3 years old. Currently do not have a dog of my own but still dog sit for my mom when she goes out of town or comes visits me. Have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes and puppies. Young professional in seasonal type job. My work is currently in the slow season so have plenty of time for dogs/puppies. I also have all my weekends available to puppy sit. I live in an apartment but there are plenty of walking trails and parks nearby. I also have plenty of time off and no weekend commitments so I can stay at your home so the pups are more comfortable.
“Crystal was amazing! Took the best care of my dog and cat while I was away, sent a bunch of photos and updates throughout the day of their adventures, and kept the house in lovely condition. I could tell she vacuumed before heading out which I SO appreciated when I got home from my trip! I’ll definitely be booking with her again if she’s available. Thank you Crystal, Pretzel and Beans miss you!”
“Brianna made us feel so comfortable leaving our home and pup in her care while we were away for the weekend. She provided updates on how things were going and took excellent care of everything. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Carly was so incredibly helpful when our cat had some last-minute needs requiring medication administration and an adjustment to our schedule. Carly was communicative and accommodating and sent lots of reassuring updates and photos. Our cats are clearly very comfortable with Carly and we are so happy to have a such a trusted, capable, and kind sitter!”
“Allison was the absolute sweetest! I felt so comfortable having her stay at our house and care for our two dogs. She checked in with adorable photos several times over the weekend, the house was just as we left it, and I could tell she just really loved being with our dogs which is the best feeling. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Alex was great! Super flexible and communicative. Our dogs our a little nervous meeting new folks and he handled it great! He sent photos while we were away which was a great plus!”
“Jess was great, was accommodating to our requests and flexible. We felt great leaving our dog with her, especially being new dog parents and using a sitter for the first time. Would recommend highly”
“Heidi was awesome with our kitty cat Stitch! Daily updates and pictures, super loving to our boy and left everything spotless at the house. Stitch seemed so happy and relaxed upon our return which was such a pleasant surprise since he tends to get stressed when we travel. Highly recommend and will definitely hope to book with Heidi again in the future.”
“My dog seems to be very reserves and skittish around strangers so was very apprehensive about booking someone from Rover to stay with her. I made the perfect choice with Anthea. My little girl was comfortable with her right away. Anthea sent multiple pictures and put my mind at ease immediately couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of your animal. I will certainly use her again.”
“Chad is awesome! He stayed with our two energetic dogs for 2.5 weeks while we were away. We came home to happy dogs and a ridiculously clean house. He was happy to meet the dogs before hand and do a few walks and kept in touch to let us know the babies were safe and sound. I would definitely recommend using him!”
“We all loved Renata, especially my dog, Mango. He was so happy and relaxed when we came home. Totally different attitude then when we pick him up from the kennel. Renata was a great pet-sitter and we will definitely use her again. We especially appreciate her flexibility of also helping with our chickens.”
“Thank you so much for the care for our senior cats, our chickens, rabbits, and home. Our home was so well cared for and clean, and thanks again for the delicious treat you left us! I would definitely recommend Felicia to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.”
“Bryan did such an amazing job with my two pups, a golden retriever and a Bernese mountain dog. He sent me multiple updates, walked them a ton and sent me photos. I’d highly recommend him!!”
“Felicia did a wonderful job watching our fur babies. I really appreciated the pictures and communication. She was responsible, friendly, and genuinely cared about our pups. 10/10 would book again!”

“Kelly did great watching my boys for me! Very communicative, and sent me plenty of pictures while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to watch your fur babies for you, and I will 100% be reaching out to her if I need help again in the future!”
St Johns pet parents share their Rover experiences
Makenna house sat with my two dogs (one is a puppy!) and I was very pleased with her service. She was able to stick to their specific diet, and routines. I was particular with how to handle my new puppy, and wanted to make sure her routine and training was consistent. I felt very comfortable with her in my home, I returned and it was just as I left it. She was very communicative, gave me updates, and I was very impressed with her ability to handle both my older dog, and puppy at the same time.
Finding Lily was a blessing to us! She took a stay on semi-short notice and was extremely accommodative to both our busy schedule and our dogs active lifestyle. We never had to worry with her constant check-ins and photos, her communication was great. When we arrived home it was extremely clean and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate in the slightest to recommend Lily to any of our friends with dogs for her services. We look forward to her next stay with our pup!
Allison was the absolute sweetest! I felt so comfortable having her stay at our house and care for our two dogs. She checked in with adorable photos several times over the weekend, the house was just as we left it, and I could tell she just really loved being with our dogs which is the best feeling. Would book again in a heartbeat!
Marisa recently stayed at our house to watch our 2 dogs while we were out of town. She was very responsive in her communication, she asked great care questions when we did our meet and greet and was superb in caring for our dogs and house. I highly recommend her and plan to hire her again when we leave town.
Melissa. Was. Perfect. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease. Even though we were only gone for two days, she instantly understood and captured the unique personalities of our two dogs and our cat. The tons of pictures and regular updates meant everything to us — it truly felt like we were right there with them. Melissa is warm, friendly, and incredibly flexible. She made the entire experience stress-free, and that peace of mind is priceless. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a very content kitty, and couldn’t be more grateful. We would 100% request her again — especially for longer trips — with zero hesitation and complete confidence. She’s simply the best
