“Haley did a great job house sitting for me whilst I was on vacation and looked after our mini Aussie Shepherd. She communicated clearly and sent pictures of our dog having fun. She left the house neat and tidy too. Thanks Haley.”
“Jack was a complete professional during his recent dog sitting of our two dogs. He stayed at our home and was extremely attentive and respectful. Jack followed all care instructions and went over and beyond by taking our dogs to the park and playing with them frequently. He provided us daily updates and photos during our vacation that kept us at ease, especially while traveling out of state. I cannot recommend him enough, a gentleman in every way.”
“Jackson was amazing with our two dogs! They loved him. He was prepared, attentive, and easy to work with. I highly recommend him. He took great care of both of them while we were gone.”
About: I’m naturally gentle and patient which makes anxious or shy dogs feel safe. I treat pets like babies & communicate a lot with owners like sending pictures or updates! pet care fits perfectly into my routine I’m home a lot so I can give regular walks , attention , and affection throughout the day I focus on making the pet feel secure by keeping their routine the same with same feeding times, walks, cuddles, and play. I give them lots of love and stay respectful of the home, keeping it clean and calm.
“We have a last minute cancellation so we were a bit stressed but Miranda jumped in and saved the day! Very responsive and took great care of our senior pup. We will definitely be using Miranda in the future!”
“My pup was so well cared for! My girl is a rescue healing from an injury, and she can get nervous with sitters. But they were best buds after just one night! I received updates so I wasn’t worried, and it was a huge relief to find someone who knew exactly how to accommodate my dog’s needs. Would absolutely book again!”
About: I have experience with all kinds of dogs! I'm especially good with active dogs & am a big believer in fear free training. My own dog is a very energetic border collie, so I'm particularly good with herders. I'm currently transitioning from graduate school to the workforce, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I love to start my mornings by walking my dog Charli around the neighborhood or to Recreation Park :) I am attentive, reliable, & good with puppies and dogs in training. I have experience with reactive and anxious dogs & am willing to do whatever it takes to make your dog feel safe & happy.
About: I was that kid at the family party that asks to see your pets and hangs out with them the rest of the night. I’ve grown up around cats, dogs and various other pets. I trained my family dogs from puppies, and have experience working with both small and large breeds. My family had a German Shorthair Pointer with epilepsy that started after he turned 4. To manage it, I helped administer medication every 12 hours for 8 years. I am familiar with administering oral medications. With my job currently being on summer break, I typically go on walks with my own dogs in evenings, but have time throughout the day to drop by for a visit. Every creature deserves to be treated with respect, kindness and understanding, my pets are no exception. They’re my family, and I want them to have the best care possible - good snacks, plenty of love and affection, physical and mental exercise, and consistent rules and expectations. When I watch other people’s pets, I want to ensure that they feel loved, cared for and safe - whether that looks like cuddling up and being cozy or simply keeping my distance and sharing in the same space with them while I take care of them.
“This is only 2nd time using Rover for house/dog sitting. The last person used was lovely but unavailable this time. I thankfully came to Jenna who was. I am so thankful to have found her. She was super responsive and had a very pleasant demeanor. I am someone who is pretty detailed when it comes to my fur babies so I provided her with a full list of all things pup related regarding their routine. She appreciated my attention to detail and I think it really helped avoid any confusion or questions. She sent me pictures and gave me updates throughout her stay giving me such peace of mind that they were well taken care of. I will certainly reach back out again for future house/dog sitting needs.”
“Darla watched my dog while I was out of state and provided her with so much love and care. She sent updates and pictures, took her on walks and played with her. Darla also would pet and cuddle her. Darla was great! Would definitely use her again! :)”
“Shauna was great! She was super communicative and took great care of my dog and cats. I felt completely at ease while I was away because I felt confident that my pets were being taken great care of. She sent me great pictures and all the animals seemed completely happy and relaxed when I came home. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Seth responded to our last minute request and was very responsive. The pets were well cared for, and he sent us multiple updates while we were gone! The house was super tidy when we got back, and he even left us with a cat toy. Would definitely book again!”
“Lindsey was wonderful! She was so patient, caring, and loving with our girl. As pet owners, it can be nerve-racking to trust someone new with both your home and your pet, but Lindsey went above and beyond to put us at ease. Her communication, kindness, and genuine care made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Wow, Marijo was absolutely amazing with my little ones! They adored her, and you can just see their joy in all the adorable pictures she sent. It was such a delight to see them so happy and at ease! She perfectly followed their schedules, and when I returned, I was greeted by two very cheerful babies. I will for sure book her again!!!”
“Riley was great! She watched my crazy pups for a week. I must admit in the past I’ve been disappointed by other Rover house sitters who failed to follow through with basic care instructions. She took lots of notes and took great care of our babies. We could tell by the pictures how happy they were by the smiles on their face! We could also tell that she treated them like her own furry family and not just someone physically being there with them. Our house was just clean as we left it. Our neighbors also notice how professional she was while walking with them. We will definitely use her again.”

Christina was amazing, I came home to happy and tired dogs. I appreciated how much she communicated through the stay when things changed and that she sent me updates like I requested. I always get a little nervous leaving my dogs but they looked so happy on the walks it made me really enjoy my vacation knowing they were in good hands.
Miranda was professional, friendly and responsive from the first interaction. I had a difficult situation with two fairly new rescue dogs that sometimes get into doggy tiffs and she handled it with confidence and ease. She kept us updated regularly while we were gone and let me know if there were any issues. When I got anrrived home from our 12 day trip, our house was very neat and tidy. I would highly recommend Miranda to anyone who needs a pet sitter!
Erin did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Milo! She told me she has cats of her own so it felt good leaving him with someone who has the experience I was looking for. I had quite a bit of instructions for my cat while I was away, and she did a great job following through with everything I asked. Very attentive, responsible, and clearly cared about making sure my cat was comfortable and well taken care of. She always sent me photos, giving me updates, and was great with communication! Very thankful for her help!
Wow! Helen was amazing!! We left our dog Beau and our cat Hammy with Helen for 6 days while on vacation. Beau stayed with her at her apartment and she would drop in on Ham nightly. She would send us constant updates and pictures and was quick to respond to messages. I felt that my animals were safe and well cared for. She truly went above and beyond and we cannot thank her enough. We will for sure contact Helen again in the future. Thank you :)
Bridget is not only highly recommended by me, but by my dog & cat too! This was the first time in a long time being away from my pets and Bridget put my mind at ease the minute we met for the meet & greet. She updated and sent pics twice a day. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thank you Bridget!
Avery was reliable, caring, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure my dog felt comfortable and loved. I would definitely book with Avery again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and pet sitter!
If you’re nervous or new to a dog sitter, BOOK LINDSEY!!! She was communicative, paid close attention to any note I had, took extremely great care of my two huskies and even took them on more adventures/walks than I would!! I have two extremely animal aggressive dogs and was very apprehensive about leaving them with someone. From the meet and greet that Lindsey suggested to the entire house sitting, I was calmed with how Lindsey listened to every note/concern I had. My dogs LOVED her! She constantly sent me pictures of them walking, going potty, eating, drinking water and just relaxing. All of these helped me so much while I was away from them! I could see in their faces how content they were with her and from my ring camera even wagging their tales when she came around them! And she went above and beyond to clean the place up before she left! No dish, no trash, and vacuumed my place! 10000/10 I will be recommending her to everybody I know!!! Thank you Lindsey! 🤍
This is the second time that I’ve had Jack stay with our beloved babies. I’m a very anxious person, and I really appreciate all the attention and care that Jack gives our babies. And in addition to that he is very responsive and he leaves our house better than he found it. I feel like I am so overly blessed by having Jack take care of our babies.
Once again, Shauna took such great care of my beloved pets while I was away. My pup is always so happy to see her and she looks happy from the pics Shauna sent. Even my cat who usually just hides trusts her enough to come out of hiding and receive Shauna’s love & attention. The house is spotless and pets are happy calm healthy when I return. Shauna is the best!! I’m now scheduling my travel around her schedule.
Caleb has been an excellent sitter both times for our pup Cooper, kept me updated on his status and was fast with his responses. The dog likes him and so do I. Anytime I am out of town I will be looking to use his services should he be available. I highly recommend him should you find yourself ever in need for a sitter.
Holly was great!! My cat requires twice daily medication and right before my trip decided that he wasn’t going to eat it in a treat anymore…If you’re ever had to medicate a cat that doesn’t want medication, you know it’s no easy task! Holly was amazing with troubleshooting and trying to make it a positive experience for him. She left our house even better than we left it. I would highly recommend!
Amanda kept me updated on Kelly’s daily routine, including her walks, feeding schedule, and relaxation time. She also sent photos of Kelly throughout her stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that Kelly was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with Amanda again and highly recommend her.
