“Elvia was wonderful with sending updates daily and took great care of my dog while I was away! Super communicative and made my first Rover experience a positive one.”
“Heather is our go to dog sitter, and she is the best! Heather sends updates and photos of our pup throughout her stay, and we always are able to enjoy our time away knowing that our pup is in such great hands. We also always return to our house just as we left it. Cannot recommend Heather enough!”
“I adopted Winston in December, so this was my first time going away while having a pup. Alison loved on Winston, making both him and me feel comfortable and confident that everything would be okay! He’s a quirky pup, and she made sure he had a blast and was well cared for. When he had a small issue with his food, she let me know right away, and we quickly figured it out together and after that, everything was fine. I so appreciated her caring nature and patience and felt incredibly lucky knowing he was happy and loved while I relaxed on my family vacation. I’m thrilled that Winston will get to spend time with Alison again during my first international trip in September!”
“Nicole was amazing! She saved us as we were about to go to Europe and one of our dogs (a 6mo old pup) got kennel cough and could not go to kennel. We scrambled for help and found Nicole on Rover. She took perfect care of our pets and our home, I cannot tell you just how blessed and lucky we were. I highly recommend Nicole.”
“Michelle and our dog, Meeko, are basically besties now!!! Michelle is a great sitter, we never worry when she is watching our dog, she is a great communicator, always cheerful and so trustworthy! Michelle is the best!”
“Jess did a great job sitting for our dog for a week while we were out of town. We and our dog could not have been more happy with the experience. Highly recommend Jess.”
“Alyssa was great! Our dog, Kona really benefits from having someone around and Kona gravitated towards her so quickly. She was walked and given a lot of exercise. We definitely will be using Alyssa’s services in the future :)”
“Maria made me feel so comfortable leaving my fur babies home during vacation. I could tell quickly they were doing great and probably had a little vacation of their own while I was out of town!”
“Frank is very easy to communicate with and professional. I also appreciated his flexibility and willingness to work with me and my last minute schedule changes. I’m sure Fez also had a great time with Frank!”
“Janine was wonderful with Archie! She came on short notice and took great care of our puppy! She sent pictures, kept us up to date on how he was doing (our first trip without him so we were anxious!) and was fantastic with Archie. Will be rebooking in the future and would recommend her to friends and family.”
“Wendy did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs - and my home - while we were gone for two weeks. She followed instructions about their different dietary needs, and took them to local parks for longer walks. Both dogs can be a bit anxious, but they got so much love and attention from Wendy and were calm and happy when we got home. I would highly recommend Wendy and will certainly use her again!”
“Cinthia was amazing. She stayed overnight with my dog at my apartment and was super attentive and sent lots of pictures. She left the apartment very clean and my dog very happy. Nothing but positive things to say.”
“This was our first time using Kat and she was a wonderful dog sitter! She focused on Irie, took great care to remember our specific instructions, and asked just the right questions, and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. We look forward to working with Kat often in the future. :-)”
About: I have always been a dog lover/owner. Currently have 2 mixed breed dogs (5 and 3 years old). Have dealt with puppies to senior dogs. I do dog walking and pet sitting around my kids school and activity schedules. I’m pretty open during the weekdays. I also have some availability on weekends. Will give your dog the attention they deserve on their walk. They will return happy and well exercised. Will follow any training routines you are actively working on.
“Jessica was outstanding. Super friendly during our meet and greet. Our trio of two cats and a pup took to her right away and we never looked back. Jessica sent tons of great updates via cute photos and videos, she left our home in pristine condition and we would gladly ask her to sit with us again without hesitation.”
“Mikaela did a wonderful job staying with our pups. Great communication and updates throughout her time at our home. Our pups were well taken care of and we look forward to booking with Mikaela again in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Kylie! I’ve been pet sitting for over 12 years and have had dogs my whole life—they’ve always been my favorite family members. I’m totally obsessed with animals and treat every pet like my own. I’m super active and always up for long walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Whether your pet is high-energy or laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away! As a full-time speech therapist, I work during standard weekday hours—but I’m available for morning walks, evening check-ins, and weekend care. I’m great at working around my schedule to make sure your pet gets the love, attention, and activity they need, even during busy weeks! I am a very responsible and caring person, your pet will be under very good care with me! I am always down to give my 100 percent attention to a pet!
“Wonderful!! Katie is so kind and has the calmest demeanor. As soon as we did a meet and greet I felt so comfortable leaning my dog Sophie in her care. Katie provided photos and in depth updates so I had nothing to worry about! Great communicator and do easy to work with. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be using her again!”
