Katie was phenomenal. She picked up over a week of pet sitting when our sitter fell through a week before our departure. Our kids LOVED her frequent updates and photos. Katie even helped schedule and extra visit when snow interrupted our return.

Thank you so much!! She sent us amazing pictures through our entire trip and I felt as I was still at home. I would 1000000% recommend her!! We can tell she really understands and loves dogs and very trustworthy. THANK YOU!!

This was the second time we’ve had Mell stay over to watch our pup, Lila, and it was for a whole week this time. Lila was happy and healthy upon our return, and our apartment was just as we left it. Mell is such a great pet-sitter, always responsive to messages, and sent plenty of pics and videos of Lila. We’re lucky to have found her!

Salette was fantastic with our dog, Nox and I would highly recommend her. Our dog can be very skittish and exhibits herding behaviors, but Salette read our dog’s behavior the minute she walked in. Nox also has to take medications for her allergies, Salette followed her regimen very well and we noticed that Nox’s skin was in really good condition when we returned from our trip. Salette also had excellent communication while we were away, making my husband and I feel confident that there were no issues while we were away. Our place looked just like we left it, making our return even easier.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for everything from Chihuahuas and cats to rabbits, goats, and chickens, so I’m very comfortable around pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. I’m dependable, patient, and take pet safety very seriously. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide thoughtful updates, lots of attention, and a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I’m available for drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends depending on scheduling needs. I’m very reliable, communicative, and attentive, and I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important peace of mind is, so I do my best to provide thoughtful care and updates every step of the way. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I know every animal has different needs and routines, so I pay close attention to instructions, behaviors, and comfort levels while caring for them. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, and take safety very seriously at all times. I also love sending updates and photos so pet parents can feel connected and reassured while they’re away.

Anthony was an absolute godsend! This is our first time using Rover for pet sitting and we couldn’t have chosen a better sitter! Our dog unfortunately had a little bit of a tummy upset the day we left for the weekend, which we were a little panicky about as we were heading interstate for a few days. Anthony handled the situation expertly, paying super close attention to our beloved pet while she was getting better, and sending us regular updates on her general progress, as well as regular pictures of her enjoying cuddle times and walks. Our home was maintained beautifully, and the whole process from start to finish was smooth, with great communication. Highly recommend Anthony if you are ever in need of a great house/pet sitter.

About: I’ve always been a big animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m available for walks every day as well as pet sitting during the week. I’m flexible and can adjust to your pet’s schedule and needs. I provide a quiet, calm, and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routine closely, including feeding, playtime, and litter care, and always respect their space and personality.

Brooke was the absolute best with Penny! She did such an amazing job of keeping our senior dog active but with plenty of rest. When we came home, Penny was snoozing away , no barking nothing, which means Brooke clearly made her feel super comfortable. Would have her back whenever- she’s also an amazing house guest.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and live with my 15-year-old dog, so I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and sensitive personalities. I work well with dogs of all sizes and temperaments- from shy or anxious companions to energetic explorers. I adjust my approach to each dog: slow and gentle for seniors, patient for nervous pets, and active and engaging for high-energy dogs. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, understood, and relaxed while you’re away. I can help with: • relaxed or active walks (depending on your dog’s needs) • potty breaks & drop-ins • medication if needed • calm companionship I treat every pet as my own and never rush interactions. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits in the mornings and evenings on weekdays, and I’m flexible on weekends and holidays. When scheduling allows, I can also accommodate quick daytime potty breaks or check-ins for nearby pets. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and calm care. I closely follow each pet’s routine and needs, pay attention to their behavior, and never rush interactions. I’m especially attentive with senior pets, making sure they feel secure, supported, and stress-free at all times.

Yuliia took exceptional care of our dog while we were away. This is the second time we booked with Yuliia and she continues to go above and beyond! Our dog was at ease, our home was left in pristine condition (even with the dog playing in a muddy backyard!), and we enjoyed pictures and videos to assure us that all was well. Thank you, Yuliia!

Leigh was amazing with our corgi, Rigatoni! We were in a bind with finding someone on short notice and Leigh stepped in with some options for us. She came over to meet us and quickly bonded with him! Throughout her 3 days, she was super communicative and provided us with updates and pictures. Rigatoni loved spending time with her in the comfort of our apartment and going on his daily walks. We cannot wait to have Leigh come and watch Rigatoni again. Thanks, Leigh!

Fernando takes excellent care of our foster dog, Ernesto and this stay was no exception. Even though he's watched him a few times before, each stay is different as Ernesto learns and grows and Fernando handles each update and change beautifully. He's a wonderful communicator and we never even have to wonder how Ernesto is doing when we are away because Fernando keeps us posted at every step. Thank you so much, Fernando!

Katherine was incredible! Our dog has some medical concerns and this was our first time leaving him with a sitter since he began his medication. She was so great about following our administration instructions for the meds, as well as anything else we shared with her. I’d highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again! Our dog was so loved while we were out of town, and that’s truly all we could want!

Brooklyn is an absolute gem!! Cannot recommend her enough. She was extremely communicative, kind and very experienced with pups. My Rio is a Velcro active dog, who needs exercise and cuddles in equal measure. She took him to the park to get his wiggles out and then snuggled with him while I was away all day. 100% would recommend. Thank you Brooklyn!

We had a great experience with Salette while we were away from Wednesday through Sunday. Mushi and Lola were calm, happy, and well cared for when we returned which is always the best sign. She was kind, communicative, and easy to work with throughout the stay. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals and I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. I would absolutely use her services again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter <3
