“Katherine was awesome to work with! She took great care of our pup Simon and our home while we were away for the weekend. I loved all the regular updates and photos. Highly recommend!”
“Emily is absolutely wonderful!! She has done overnight stays in my home multiple times over the last year. During the year, I have acquired quite a few more pets then her first time sitting last summer. This visit Emily stayed in my home for two and a half weeks. She got thrown a few curve balls this visit and took them all in stride. First, my travel mates decided to leave a day early, I contacted her and on very short notice she was able to come a day early. Then right before I left, I found 2 abandoned kittens, I knew I wasn't going to be able to get them in anywhere on such short notice, so decided to keep them until I got back and then explore options for placement/adoption. Then one of my pets (a guinea pig) developed an abscess which warranted a trip to the ER vet, medication twice daily and a follow-up with his primary (exotic) vet. When she noticed a change in the guinea pig, she immediately contacted me and she was able to get him treatment. Without her close eye and swift intervention, things may not have turned out so well as a guinea pigs health can be quite fragile. She has been my pet sitter for a year, and during that time she has built bonds and relationships with my pets and knows their personalities, behaviors and preferences. She is able to quickly identify any changes. She is always very professional and communicates daily via texts and frequently sends pictures/videos. She takes great care of my pets and she always leaves my home neat and tidy. It is so nice to come home to happy, healthy pets and a clean house after being away. I can not speak highly enough about her! She is wonderful! I would recommend her for any and all of your pet sitting needs.”
“Lacy was very accommodating to our changing schedule and our potty training puppy while she house sat for us. She sent us plenty of cute photos while we were out and we’ll be sure to book her again in the future!”
“Aaliyah is the best and very easy to get along with! She stayed the night with my pup for two nights. She was extremely responsive and sent me regular pictures + updates. She was SO flexible with me pushing the dog sitting back one day and then later asking to extend it another day. She spent a ton of time at the house with Bowie and was intentional about giving him enrichment and playtime. She left the key exactly where I asked her to and locked all of my doors. She was respectful of our home and left it exactly how it was before she got here. She is my new go to pet sitter!”
“Charli just house-sat for me for the first time and did an awesome job. My 4 dogs and cat loved her and were obviously well cared for. Charli dropped by before my trip to meet the pets and she was obviously happy to meet them and took in all the instructions despite have a bit of a crazy household at the time. Charli communicated consistently and sent plenty of pictures while sitting and left the house in perfect order. I hope Charli is an available when I need someone to take care of my pets, and would recommend her to anyone else.”
“Louisa did an amazing job! I have a kitty with special care/feeding instructions that require attention to detail that she followed perfectly. She also took great care of my home and provided updates on everything as I away. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals just from our initial meet & greet too. I always get so nervous leaving my cat when I go on trips but Louisa absolutely earned my trust and I will be booking with her again in the future for sure as long as she’s still pet sitting. Thank you so much again :)”
“Maze says five paws up! 🐾😹 He got to stay in his own kitty cave (a.k.a. our aparment) while being spoiled and cared for by the sweetest sitter ever. I got the cutest updates and could tell he was totally living his best life. It’s such a comfort knowing he was so well cared for and relaxed while I was away — we’ll definitely be booking Paige again! ⭐️😻”
“I would recommend Andrew to anyone and have no reservations booking him again. My two adult pitbulls adore Andrew. I'm borderline concerned that they like him more than me. Andrew was in contact with me everyday I was away. He sent videos and photos as well as exact times when they started and ended walks. Additionally Andrew asked permission before doing things. Despite being a fairly relaxed person with people using the amenities, I truly appreciated Andrew asking for my consent prior to using them. Definitely give Andrew a call and see if he's available to watch your fur babies. I'm glad I did.”
“Meghan has been wonderful with Lyla from the beginning. Whether it’s taking her for a walk or watching her overnight. She is the first person I’ve felt comfortable enough to have watch Lyla over night, aside from family. We have adopted another dog to the family & without hesitation I knew he would be in the best care with Meghan. I highly recommend having her watch your pets!”
About: I work full time as a lead emergency veterinary technician. Love spending time with all animals from puppies, seniors all the way to being there for end of life care.

All animals allowed on the furniture. I want it to feel like they are home when they are here.
“Natianna was great. She met with me a few days before to ensure everything was a good fit. When I needed to change my time request she was very flexible. My doggo was happy and well loved when I returned. Will be booking her again.”
“Caroline was just wonderful staying with my Milly Mae. She kept my girl happy while we vacationed. She is my go to for booking during travel! Couldn’t recommend her enough!!!!”
“Taylor looked after my fur baby while i went away for a weekend trip. She stayed at my house, and everythihng was good when i returned. My fur baby looked happy. Some initial issues with communication and amendments to dates, but worked with Taylor to resolve the issue and everything, thankfiully, worked out.”

“Kate took care of our two doodles while we were out of town for 5 days. It was our first time booking with her and she immediately made us both at ease knowing our dogs were in great hands. We will definitely book again!!”
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my two boys! She communicated well and sent pictures, which gave me great peace of mind! Will definitely book with her again!”
About: In my childhood I had many cats and I have now had a dog for almost 8 years! I started dog sitting about 3 years ago for my neighbors and I really enjoy it. I have taken care of their dogs while they were on vacation and have also dropped in while they were working. I have been around pets my whole life and I love them! I love going on walks and playing with them and am very passionate about animal care. I currently work part time at a bakery but my schedule is pretty flexible around that. I do school mostly online so work is the only time I wouldn’t be with the pet! I never work in afternoons, only in the mornings. Contact me and I can work a shcedule out for you! I am very diligent about following instructions for your pet and I am respectful of both your space and the pet! I am also very diligent about safety and will do my best to keep an eye on your pet the whole time. I will clean any messes that may be made and check locks before leaving every time. I always make it a habit to check for food, water, any potential messes, and locks every visit.

Melanie has taken care of our pups for several vacations and she has been absolutely wonderful! She always communicates frequently, sends us photos, and she does a great job managing my special needs husky and giving her medication. She went the extra mile for us during the last visit and made a trip to the store for something we ran out of. Our pups love her and we highly recommend her!
Natianna was absolutely amazing! My fur babies took to her so quickly! Murphy immediately and my super shy Stevie who never warms up quickly to anyone was her best buddy in two short days! Natianna mitigated a minor insect issue after some heavy rain in our patio area without being asked and our home was tidier than we left it. I highly recommend booking with Natianna and I hope I’m able to book her in the future 😊🐾❤️
Isaac was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! Super caring, attentive, and really took the time to understand our dog’s needs. He spent the whole weekend playing with him and making sure he was happy and comfortable. On top of that, he surprised us with a beautiful sketch of our dog, which was such a thoughtful touch. We came home to a very happy pup and couldn’t recommend him more!
Cabria is by far and away the BEST pet sitter we have EVER had!! I am so glad we found her on rover, and I cannot recommend her enough as a pet sitter. She sat for our Golden Retriever and 4 cats, and sent constant updates with pics and videos. She is the sweetest, also and our fur babies absolutely LOVE her as much as we do. And to top it off, she leaves the house squeaky clean....Honestly, I have never come home to a cleaner house after being away!! And wait, that is not all, she baked and left us chocolate chip cookies to welcome us home! I really cannot even describe in this review how wonderful and amazing Cambria is!! We will be booking her for every trip we have that she is available for, love, love, love her!!!!!
5 stars does not do Blakely justice. She came by days in advance to meet my dog and get familiar with her. The genuine sincerity she has not only as a dog lover but as a person was glaring from the start. I’ve booked multiple Rovers in the past few years but this one was different, it was like she was family with my dog from the start. And I thought I couldn’t be more happy with her until she actually did the sitting. She arrived when she told me she would, she went above and beyond anything I could have expected with pics, videos, and instant communication. I have never left my dog and felt so at ease (even with family) as I did leaving her with Blakley. The attention to detail and the things she did to make my dog happy and spoil her was exceptional! I can assure you, you will not find a better person (not just sitter, but person) to keep your pet, she is as good as it gets! I more than highly recommended her and I guarantee you’ll feel the same way I do. Book her now! But, only if I don’t need her (haha) because she will be my sitter and my dogs friend for as long as possible! Thank you Blakely!!! What an incredible experience and day you gave my little girl, and I could not be more appreciative!!! 🧡💙
This is our first time using Rover and Caroline was absolutely amazing! We were able to go on vacation and not have to worry about our dog and cat being loved and played with while we were gone. She sent us regular updates and pics letting us know how things were going and it was wonderful coming back to our pets in their home environment instead of picking up from boarding and having to reacclimate them to their schedule. We will definitely use Caroline again and appreciate her professionalism and friendly demeanor.
Maya was an amazing dog sitter and took wonderful care of our dogs. She spent a lot of quality time with them, was very patient—especially with our shy dog—and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She made sure they were fed, comfortable, and well looked after, and even went above and beyond by helping with our other pets as well. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such caring hands. We would absolutely book with Maya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and kind sitter.
