“Leanne is the best. Makes me feel very secure leaving my precious baby with her. She leaves everything exactly like you left it…I can’t even tell she’s been here. You will never regret leaving your babies in her hands.”

About: I’ve grown up having dogs and have cared for many of my friends’/colleagues’ dogs when they need me to. I enjoy taking care of them and going on walks. I have maintained training instructions when I do my drop in visits. I am currently working as a full time graduate student but have time both before and after work for any drop in visits. I also have more availability on weekends. I am currently only available for drop in visits which include but not limited to feeding/watering, going on walks (for dogs), cleaning litter box (for cats), administering medication, and playing/spending time with your pet.
“Alexis was great with the dogs and the house! She sent plenty of pictures, played with the dogs and kept me updated every step of the way. Will definitely use her again!”

“Katherine was so amazing with our two pups!! It was our first time leaving them since we’ve had a baby, and so I was nervous but she sent us so many updates and gave them tons of love. We felt so comfortable with them in her care. Our house looked great when we got home and the dogs were happy to see us but nice and relaxed. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”

“Elyssa is awesome! Her background and experience was what caught our attention, but she really was wonderful while she stayed at our house with our pup. She went above and beyond to keep the house in order and keep our little one happy. We will definitely use her again and encourage others to do the same.”

“Dannie was flexible, kind, and easy to work with. He provided care under unique + high maintenance circumstances where he accommodated 1) the need for flexible timing and location while I traveled to town for work and 2) to care of my dog who requires constant vigilance to manage a subtle injury where inattention could result in immediate paralysis.”

“Christian was wonderful with Gus! He kept me updated throughout, took Gus on his morning walks to the coffee shop, and clearly showered him with affection while I was away. I came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. I'd book him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”

“Jabe is absolutely FANTASTIC. We go to him every time we have to leave Ollie because our dog is always happy to see him— Jabe really goes above and beyond to give Ollie love and care. Plus he always send photos of Ollie while we’re away! Cannot recommend Jabe enough!”

“Christopher was an amazing sitter for my dog. Very attentive, kept me updated, and kept the place super clean. My dog was still adjusting to his new routine and he kept it up, and kept me updated throughout the stay. Would definitely book him again! Thank you again so much! :)”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember. Whether it’s taking my Friends dogs on walks or taking care of my mimi’s cats while she’s gone. I have a love for all things animals! I’m currently working part time and I’m still in school so I have plenty time after school hours to drop in and make sure they are getting plenty of love! I personally have 2 cats and always make sure that they are well feed, well loved, and the potty is nice and clean. I take my neighbors and friends dogs on walks all the time and even help feed them too!
“Emma is so great- highly recommend!! She stayed at my home for a week and took exceptional care of my dog and house. She was punctual, responsive, coordinated household items, and my dog loves her. She is so caring and a true pet whisperer. Grateful for Emma!”

“I’ve used Rover more than 20 times over the years, and Rose was by far the best sitter we’ve ever had! She went above and beyond to ensure we knew our pups were in great hands, keeping us updated and handling every detail with care. She not only met all of our requests but exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend!”

“Rawlings was very well taken care of and loved while we were away! Keller sent me many photos every day and took him on tons of walks. He seems like he had the best time and I felt assured that he was in loving care while we were gone. I will definitely be asking her to watch our pup again!”

“Ella was great with our two dogs. She gave lots of updates and made sure we knew if there were issues. Made our trip much easier knowing our dogs were in good hands.”


“Madison was a wonderful pet and house sitter. When I came home, both of my pets exhibited signs of low anxiety. My home was cared for and tidy. Madison was a great communicator leading up to and during the stay. I would hire her again anytime.”

About: I have a great work ethic, will do anything for your pet, and absolutely love working with animals! I am very reliable and time management is a great skill of mine. I am a full time student along with division 1 soccer player. I squeeze as many walks as I can in and I would love to walk your dog! At home, I had a fence and a crate if needed to keep my dog while we were away. I only crate when necessary and try to emphasize self sufficiency in pets
“Zubin was wonderful! She sent us lots of pictures and videos of our pets every day, took great care of the house, and was very responsive. We even came home to a gorgeous watercolor painting of our pets 😍 We’ll definitely use her again!”

Sylvan Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Caroline was a lifesaver for us, able to house sit and care for our dog at the last moment. She was attentive to all the particulars of our dog’s routine and asked whenever there were questions, AND she responded to a flare of his skin allergies which we didn’t cover because we didn’t expect that! She communicated well, won over our shy and grumpy dog, and left our house better than she found it. One thousand stars! Thank you!

Ella was INCREDIBLE!! Best dog-sitter we have EVER had. We booked her last minute as plans came up and she made time to still come by and meet with us. She went above and beyond for our dog Hutch and gave us several updates including cute videos. Our home was cared for and Hutch was happy. Thank you Ella!!

Micah was amazing! She consistently stopped by multiple times a day, took my dog on walks, sent photos, and gave daily updates while I was away. She did everything requested, including meds and extra care needs for my dog. I felt really comfortable leaving my pets with her and would definitely book again!
