“Ashley was amazing and really helped us out when we were delayed on our trip. She took amazing care of Mags and Butters. The house was clean the pups happy. Would highly recommend Ashley and plan to use her in the future.”

“This was my second time using Rover. It had been almost a year prior. I completely lucked out the first time selecting Erin & Matt, my choice was based on their reviews, and meeting them. I knew this time, they would be my go to and first choice! I have 2 pups and a cat and I was able to leave them in Erin & Matts care with complete peace of mind...that is priceless! I received daily photos, and videos with updates that once again confirmed I made the right choice! This young couple are so professional, and responsible.... they even washed and changed the sheets 🙂 I am so thankful for the positive experience I've had w Rover, and even more thankful for Erin & Matt 🩷”

“Justine is outstanding! I never worry about our animals when we go out of town and leave her in charge. She handles our reactive dog with ease and understanding and we just really appreciate the care she takes of them!”

“Samantha was absolutely amazing! She stayed overnight with my pup and two fosters. I got lots of picture updates and she left the house clean and organized! I highly recommend and will be using her again! Thank you!!”


“De'Asia stayed with our 66 lb sweet but dog-reactive handful for several days. We told her she was welcome to walk him but didnt have to. She took him all over thre neighborhood successfully while keeping me well informed of how he was the whole time. That alone would have been above and beyond. My house was cleaner than I left it, possibly cleaner than I've seen it in months. She treated both my house and my dog like her own. I told my husband to make room because I was going to beg her to move in. Heck. We might go out of town just to give the dog another chance to stay with her. I've had a lot of rover sitters over the years and De'Asia is the best we've ever had. I strongly suggest booking her, as long as its not while Im also out of town.”
“Haley was easy to communicate with and reassured this nervous fur mama throughout my trip. She asked great questions and kept me informed about small snags so I could be reassured my pets were in great hands. One of my pups needs daily meds and she was undaunted by the task. Loved receiving photos and updates. Thanks, Haley!”

“Nicole did a fantastic job of watching the pets while I was gone! She sent plenty of pictures, which was reassuring. She even kept my plants watered, which was a huge help. I’d highly recommend!”

“Donna was absolutely great & outstanding. The first time sherry (dog) met her, she jumped up and kept wanting to hug Donna. Luna (cat) has a new cat cave bed and wasn't using it until Donna watched her. Now she uses it all the time. Donna is a pet whisperer. She is by far the "BEST". Not only did we find the perfect pet sitter, we also gained a "Great Friend"”

“Hannah was absolutely amazing! We left our two pups at home with her for 8 days and never once had to worry!! She is definitely a dog person and played with our puppy and loved on our older dog. I don’t even know if our dogs had a chance to miss us!”

“I’m really happy with Elizabeth’s communication - always clear, accommodating, and friendly. Both our dogs looked happy, relaxed, and pampered in all the photo updates. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Amber did a great job. She was very communicative with us, sending pictures and messages throughout the weekend. Shadeaux seemed very relaxed and happy when we got home. We would definitely book her again!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m the kind of person who immediately gravitates toward the family pet at gatherings. I have hands-on experience caring for pets with a variety of needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, giving basic medications, snuggles, and cleaning up accidents so that you and your pet feel taken care of while you're away! I work a 40-hour, Monday through Friday (8-5) job that allows hour-long breaks to pop in during the day and take care of your pet. After-work, weekends, and bank holidays, I'm generally free to spend hours playing, snuggling, or just keeping your pet company. I'm happy to meet up beforehand to see if your pet and I are a good match. I'm happy to follow any instructions or preferences on their care to keep their routines and make everyone feel as safe as possible. I love sending notes and photo updates so you can feel connected!
“Gussie took care of our dogs on such short notice, which was a relief after our other sitter cancelled due to a family emergency. Gussie communicated and sent photos daily, which I appreciated. One of our dogs is 17 and she met his senior needs. Our other dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but it did not take her long to warm up to Gussie.”

Starkey pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cecilia has been sitting with my dogs twice now. She is very attentive to my fur kids. The fur kids are well taken care of and she lets me know how they are doing while we are away. Cecilia keeps my house clean and I am not worried about my furry ones or my house when they are in her care. She is loving and caring. I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take care of their pets. I enjoy reading her quotes from my fur babies.

I had a great experience with Erin & Matthew as my pet sitters. They took excellent care of both my home and Banco while I was away, which gave me real peace of mind. I especially appreciated the daily photo and video updates, it made it easy to see that Banco was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Everything was handled responsibly and with attention to detail, and I came back to a home that was just as I left it. I’d absolutely trust Erin & Matthew again and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful pet sitters!
