“Zach was amazing with Acacia, she’s super timid and he was very patient with her. I loved receiving photos and updates from him, and he really eased my mind while I was away from Acacia. I hope to work with Zach more in the future! 10/10 service. He also left the house exactly as we asked!”
“Tori was so great! Took good care of all of our animals, was a lovely guest in our home, shared frequent photos and status updates, and was overall a pleasure to work with. Will be rebooking. :)”
“She’s great!! Came over last minute to watch our Frenchie. Very responsive and left the house just like she found it. Sent us pics of the little fur baby and kept us up to speed on everything. Love her!”
“We are so glad that we booked Ross to stay with our adult dog and our puppy while we were out of town for a few days. He did a fantastic job. The dogs had lots of fun while we were gone. And the house looked great when we got home.”
About: I volunteer at the APA animal shelter where I walk and play with all types of dogs. I have also taken care of a wide variety of animals including lizards, fish, kittens (2 weeks old), puppies, and turtles! I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant so I have plenty of time to spend time with your animals and make sure they are well taken care of! I give all pets love and affection with different pets needing different things! For dogs I love to take them for walks and give them lots of belly scratches, and for cats I love to play with them and if they like, pet them!
“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“Ashley was incredible! We needed help at the last minute as we were heading out of the country and Ashley happily stepped in and treated our pup like a queen.”
“TzuYu is an absolute jewel! She was very attentive to our schedule and to our little doggie’s needs. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She came with treats and a welcoming greeting for our dog. I would definitely request her again.”
“Jennifer took care of our two high energy dogs without any issues! She was incredibly responsive and left our house in great condition. I highly recommend her.”
“Emma was absolutely wonderful with our dog Jack. He is an old guy who was not doing well and she went above and beyond making him comfortable. We highly recommend Emma. She is really super.”
“Em did an amazing job taking care of my Frenchie and kitty over the holidays. She looked after them for over 10 days in my home and sent consistent photos and status updates. When I returned home, my house was exactly how I left it, and she went above and beyond by washing the towels and bed linens she used. Most importantly my fur babies were happy and healthy and didn’t seem to miss me much 🥲”
“Terry was fabulous! He and our dog Gus bonded beautifully—hung out together, went for runs, played ball…we got frequent updates on how Gus was doing, along with photos and videos. Highly recommend Terry!”
“Hayden did a good job taking care of Jack while I was out of town. She was very attentive to his needs and made me feel comfortable. Communication was good.”
“We hired Meghan to watch our pets in our home. She was a respectful guest and took wonderful care of our pets! She went above and beyond working with us to reschedule our travel plans due to inclement weather. She provided excellent communication, with lots of updates and pictures of how our pets were doing. We would recommend her to anyone and would love to work with her again. Thanks Meghan!”
About: I have always had pet dogs in my house and I had cats growing up. I love animals so much. I have had experience with my own pets plus would frequently watch my neighbors, family, and friend’s animals. I have sat for a range of personalities, from very hyper puppies to elderly dogs. And I have watched cats too! I have experience with elderly dogs, where I had to change diapers, and even carry them down steps. I am not a certified trainer, but I do have experience with young dogs. I trained my own dog skills like walking commands, potty commands, eating commands, and tricks. I am a student at SLU, and I am taking one course during the summer which is from 12pm-3pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I work part-time a few times a week. So, I have penalty of time to care for your furry friends! I am very understanding of me being in the pets home, and how they might be unsure with a new person coming into their home, but I would try my best at making them comfortable and not overstepping boundaries. I would make sure they are feed, have water, go out for potty, or if they use diapers (for usually older dogs) I would check/change that. I would give lots of attention and love! I love to just spend time with animals. I like to play with toys with them, and I love going on walks with dogs!
“Kartik was responsive and provided plenty of updates throughout his stay. My pets were well taken care of and the house was perfectly kept while I was gone. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve had cats all my life and currently own two of my own cats. Many of my friends have larger dogs, and have relied on me to help check on them while they are out of town and take them for walks and have play dates. I love all kinds of dogs and cats! I am currently working from home on Mondays and Fridays, but that will change to working from home on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday in the next couple of weeks. My nights are mostly free and am able to be flexible with my schedule. I will make sure your pet is comfortable, well fed and hydrated, and give them the playtime and snuggles they need! I make sure litter boxes and yards are clean and clean up any accidents that may happen.
The Greater Ville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Can't possibly say enough positives about Porter. Been traveling 40 + years with in-home sitters and no one has come close, to him. He loves what he does. And oh my, how my dogs love him. They sleep in bed with him. That is their routine. He followed precisely every direction that I left him. He also cleaned my house and it looks better than it did when I left. I only wish we had found him sooner. He is a stellar man as well and did the very best job. We are so happy to have found him.
Nicole did a wonderful job caring for my pets! Both of my dogs can be skittish around new people, but they took quickly to her and were comfortable with her in their space. She did an amazing job at communicating with me and sent lots of pictures so I knew how they were doing. I would definitely book with Nicole again!
Phoebe had excellent communication and reliability. She asked great clarifying questions before and during her stay. We loved getting her photos and updates while she was house and dog sitting for us! I am confident Francis and Luca and the fish were in good hands while we were away! We’d love to book Phoebe again in the future!
A superstar! Tiffanie was amazing in every aspect of caring for our family pet during our weeklong vacation in Europe. She sent lots of photos and updates. Our pet is so playful and wants us to toss his toys way more to a before we left - our dog whispered that he wants to see Tiffanie soon! It was a relief to be away and know that he was being taken care of by a caring and adult pet sitter!
Julia was wonderful. She went above and beyond to make sure Shadow was loved and exercised while I was gone. She sent several updates with pictures and promptly responded to any texts/needs. I whole heartly recommend Julia to anyone looking to have their home and dog well taken care of while you are gone.
Hannah did such an amazing job watching my two furbabies. followed instructions to a T and gave lots of photos and updates while I was out. I was not worried at all about how my dogs were doing, they were in great hands and I will use Hannah in the future and recommend her to anyone
Ranae took very good care of my two cats while I was away on a long vacation. She sent daily pictures of them and kept the house very clean for us upon arrival back to our home. She was very communicative and helpful while we were away! We will for sure be rebooking with Ranae again! THANK YOU RANAE!!!
Kay Beth is amazing! She was so attentive and caring taking care of my dog, Bernice. Bernice has some extra needs like insulin injections and Kay Beth handled them like a champ. She is a vet tech so I trusted her with all of Bernice's medical needs. She loved on Bernice so much and gave her all the love and attention while I was out of town- I don't think Bernice noticed I was gone. She even noticed when Bernice started to show signs of an eye infection and called me right away. Kay Beth was great with sending daily updates and photos. Thanks, KB!!
We couldn’t be happier with Sarah! She was reliable and kind and kept our cats happy while we were away. She was able to manage multiple medications accurately for our cat with chronic illnesses, and adjust as needed based on symptoms. She played regularly with our kitten and kept her entertained and happy daily! The cats were relaxed and well cared for when we returned, and everything was as we left it. We really appreciated the updates and photos. I would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our fur babies! 🐾💛
