“Connor (CK) took great care of Roxy while we were out of town for 3 days. He took her on walks and to the dog park, and provided lots of attention. He followed our instructions and took good care of our home. He sent pics and a report each day. She was calm when we got back home — a sure sign that she was well cared for.”


“Ilana was great! She went above and beyond to make sure the dogs were taken care of, walked twice a day (early morning and later evenings due to the heat), and sent so many updates! We had her stay at our house while we were out of town and the house was tidy upon us coming home, with no issues. Ilana was very respectful and kind! Thank you!”


“We really loved Ann! She was efficient, organized, and friendly. She had a natural rapport with our dogs, which made us feel very comfortable. She was also very easy to communicate with. We highly recommend Ann!”



“We have booked Natalie multiple times now for house sitting our two fur babies! She’s always wonderful with them, texts updates, and leaves our house in great condition.”


About: Because I’m in medical school I have a unique perspective on pet care in the sense that I am calm, thorough, and empathetic! I also have a dog of my own with medical needs so I am equipped to care for any pet. I’ve had large dogs, small, dogs, cats, and fish all my life and I would love to help care for your pets too:) I’m currently in medical school so my schedule varies during the weekdays (which I will frequently update) but I can come swing by to take on walks, check-ins, or house-sit. I have most weekends free as well. I am experienced in caring for food aggressive pets, dog-aggressive pets, as well as medically needy pets. I can take large dogs 100+ lbs on leashed walks as well as play in yards with them. I love animals and I know how to keep everyone safe and happy:)

“Regan is great! She was super communicative and made sure all was well with our senior diabetic cat who needs shots twice a day and our hyper young cattle dog. Very grateful for her!”


“David was awesome! Very communicative and took awesome care of our big dog for a week. He left the house cleaner than it was when we left. We will definitely love to have him take care of our dog again. Peace of mind knowing your dog is well cared for on vacation is amazing!!”


“This is our second time having Jessica watch our pups and again, she is wonderful. Very attentive and provides great communication. Mindful of our home and keeping things as is. Will definitely request Jessica to watch our dogs again!”


“I hired Alyssa for overnights to care for three of my dogs.This was my first time working with Rover for my needs so therefore I was nervous going into this however during the meet & greet any worries went away because my gut was telling me that Alyssa was the one.She took great care of them and followed my needs.Sending pictures,videos with texting back and fourth with my daughter won our hearts.We do not get away much but maybe things will change now that we found our person Alyssa.I do highly recommend her, rating her and her compassion with animal's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!”


“Kayla did an amazing job watching Finn! She sent frequent updates and pictures to let me know that Finn was doing great. I will definitely ask her to dogsit again in the future!”


“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone who wasn’t family and we were very anxious about it, however, Keilah was amazing. She came over to our house and met Millie before we left to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, she sent updates, pictures, and videos of our pup to reassure us everything was going great. I’m sure Millie will miss her! Cannot recommend enough, we will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Keilah!”


“My wife and I couldn’t have been more pleased with Kristina, who house sat and took tender care of Murray: our energetic, loving, high-anxiety English Springer Spaniel. Kristina watched Murray for six days & five nights (while Fletcher had a different dog-sitting gig). Kristina made sure Murray’s daily routine of exercise, playtime, and being brushed didn’t miss a beat. She also kept his anxiety in check (which isn’t easy!) by being with him as much as she could. We know all that, in part, because when we returned home from our trip, Murray had plenty of licking kisses for Kristina before she left. Kristina also thoughtfully stayed in touch with us during our time away by providing daily updates & pics. She even went above & beyond what would be expected of a house sitter by going into our creepy unfinished basement at one point and climbing on a ladder to shut off a water valve to a leaking outside faucet. We returned to our clean home just as we left it, with the dishwasher run. We will happily use Kristina again (& Fletcher, too, who we met during a meet & greet and is clearly a conscientious dog lover)!”


“Alex has been so patient with our older dog and understanding of her quirks. We had total peace of mind leaving her in his care while we were away. Will definitely book again!”


About: I have owned a variety of dogs throughout my life, some bought and some rescued. I know what it is like to go through the ups and downs of raising a dog and I would love to play a role in helping you in that journey! I am an involved and hard worker with a passion for pets. I love going for walks and staying active and am always outside doing something. I can handle energetic dogs and puppies and I don’t mind getting pushed around a little and I am great at giving baths after long nature outing. I do have another job but it is only open on the weekend so I have plenty of free time during the week. I am also pretty flexible when comes to hours as well. I love to have a set idea of do’s and do not’s from a pet owner before I house sit just to make sure I am not overstepping or over correcting and to make sure everyone is safe at all times. I currently do not petsit in my home because of my living situation.

“Kristin was wonderful. She took excellent care of Baxter. They took lots of walks. She went above and beyond. Everything was neat and clean when I got home. She's new to Rover and was perfect. I will definitely use her again.”


“Ananda is wonderful. She was able to help us out in short order and handled our senior Husky so we'll. Consistent updates and left our house looking exactly as she found it. 100% will use again and would recommend to anyone else!”
