“Gisella always takes great care of my bulldog Walter. He loves going there and getting to play with Gisella’s dog Brownie. Gisella is always communicative and flexible, would 100% recommend.”
“Great service all around. I will be recommending Ethan to friends and family. Next time we go out of town Ethan will be my first call when our little furry friend needs a second home.”
“We are so grateful that Maafatu was willing to watch our elderly 120 lb dog aggressive chow mix for an entire month. It was comforting knowing she was in good hands, and that I didn’t have to worry while we were away. He was always quick to reply when we reached out. I was very nervous to leave her for so long, but ultimately I was able to relax and let go. Thanks again Maafatu!”
“Met Amanda, Jeff, and Yoda.. All 3 were super friendly, and took excellent care of my 1.5yo Catahoula (Zara) while I was out of town for 2 days. My pup may have even had too much fun.. She was moping around the rest of the night after I picked her up.. I think she was missing all of them ! If the need ever arose again, I would not hesitate to contact Amanda and Jeff. TYVM !”
“Erin (and family 😊) were wonderful with Hazel. She can be a high energy greeter and the meet and greeent well. You can tell right away that the are experienced with dogs by the questions and approach. Hazel was living her best pupper life while staying with Erin. I highly recommend her especially if you like pics of your baby while you are separated.”
“A great experience with Eileen. She did an amazing job with my anxious little one and I am so happy with the pictures that she sent daily to let me know how things were going.”
“Kirsten and Nathan went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt right at home while we were away. They kept us updated with great communication and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. So grateful to have found them! Highly recommend.”
“Lizzy was more amazing than I can put into words! She took such good care of Tommy and made me feel so comfortable by sending me lots of pics and updates. She took Tommy and her dogs to the dog park every day to get out energy. It felt like he was at summer camp! She even let Tommy sleep in the bed with her. I will definitely use her as my sitter from now on!”
“Took excellent care of our active young dog. Sent photos and videos daily. He definitely had a good time playing with her dogs! Thank you for all your help while we were away!”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life growing up and I have cared for them since I was a kid. Our family has owned several dogs over the years and I understand how stressful it is to find a reliable sitter. I am currently working full time from home so I can provide plenty of attention throughout the day with a large yard and walks mornings and evenings, in the many parks and trails right here in browns point. Full time working from home so I can give most of my attention to taking care of your loved ones. I like to provide morning and evening walks in the many trails and parks in the dash point neighborhood Large back yard for playing with many plants and trees. Clean and safe home free of hazards and good security. Very walkable neighborhood with parks and trails nearby
“Mollie took great care of our pup! You could tell that she loves caring for animals. She sent so many great pictures and was great at putting our family at ease while she watched our pup! We will definitely have her watch our dog again!”
“Yessica cared for my pup, Cooper, as if he was her own. She sent me updates and photos throughout his stay and he looked very relaxed and happy. I would definitely recommend her as a rover.”
“Angela was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated every day with pictures. She was so attentive and caring. She made this rover experience so amazing. Will book again!”
“Fabulous Sitter. Attentive, capable, thorough, accommodating, and responsive, Drew has taken excellent care on 3 extended stays with Betty. There's a fourth stay in several weeks.”
“Marisol is a wonderful caring individual who took excellent care of my dog Onyx. She went above and beyond to welcome Onyx to her home. I so appreciate her attention to detail and communication. Onyx is thrilled for his next stay with Marisol!”
“Last minute booking for an overnight stay; handled with ease and hassle-free experience. Our dog had a great time with no problems or funny stuff. Good pet-friendly people! Thanks!”
“Jessica was available on a very short notice request and I couldn’t have asked any anyone better! Sent pics a few times a day with updates on how our girl was doing. She was very caring and communicative. Would 1000% book with her again!”
“Dina and Irma were great, I needed a sitter last minute and they were wonderful enough to watch my pup. They have a nice backyard she was able to enjoy and also had a large area for her downstairs to relax and chill. Definitely recommend!”
“100% recommended. I met Jace through Rover just two days before Christmas, when I was desperately searching for a new pet sitter while I was out of the country. The sitter I had booked months in advance suddenly decided to kick out my senior dog with special needs. Jace had just recently started his business on Rover, and after a single phone call, I immediately realized how experienced and trustworthy he was—especially as a dog owner himself. He quickly put my mind at ease and not only took Frida in on extremely short notice, but also rescued her from a negligent situation with the sitter I had hired. Jace took care of my dog Frida for two and a half weeks, helped get her potty schedule back on track, gave her so much love, and sent the cutest daily updates while I was away. I don’t just highly recommend Jace—I am truly grateful for him. What a wonderful human. 10 out of 10 stars. He’s the best, and I will 100% hire him again.”

Brittany is phenomenal with my mini Aussie, Vivo! She is always available to care for him, and even last minute bookings which I have a habit of doing. Vivo gets so excited every time we pull up to the house and I can tell he is super comfortable being there. I’ve booked many times & will continue to do so!
Dylan was a true God send in accepting my last minute booking. So flexible and understanding during the entire stay. My pup normally won’t eat for anyone when I’m away and she ate full bowls of food both nights so I know she was having the best time! His pups are so friendly and Dylan is attentive, caring and kind to all the dogs. He sent me videos and pictures of Patch while I was away and kept me updated without any prompting. Very appreciative to find such a great sitter on short notice.
Our two poodles had a wonderful stay! She was caring, communicative, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them for the day. They came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Keana helped my boyfriend and me when we were in a bind. A sitter canceled last minute before a trip we were taking, and I reached out to Keana feeling unsure and worried the same thing would happen again. She gave us the reassurance we needed right away. She took great care of our boys and kept us updated throughout their stay with plenty of photos and messages. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future.
Wonderful care & attention to my sweet older dog! Very responsive and thoughtful with texts and photos!! I felt assured all the love and care was taken with Allie and appreciated your ability to adjust and administer extra care with medication and ointment. Thank you Alyssa!!
Mckayla was absolutely wonderful. They took the best care of our dog Ivy, especially being given short notice. Mckayla’s dog and our dogIvy hit it off and snuggled and played well together. Ivy received lots of walks, snuggles, and was well loved. Thank you again Mckayla for being amazing! Will definitely book again with you:D
Jennifer was great! She’s very knowledgeable which made us feel more comfortable leaving our pup for the weekend. Reign seems to have had a great time and learned something new! We would absolutely recommend booking with Jennifer, we will likely be repeat customers. :)
