“Jill has been a God send to both Rodney and I. She’s professional, caring and has the ability to handle situations to include thinking outside the box when needed. The biggest take away about Jill, aside from taking great care of our fur babies, is her work ethics. Today it’s a challenge to find individuals who can just simply do their job. In addition she cleans up, after her stay, and makes sure she leaves our house exactly how she found it. We just love Jill!”
“I really appreciate Christina, she's great with my dog and treats her like her own and provides updates throughout the stay. She picks up after herself and leaves the house clean.”
“Olivia took excellent care of my dog, my cat, and my sister's dog as well! She stayed in my home for a three day, two night petsitting request, and she took great care of my house & belongings as well. Olivia is very pleasant to be around, and the animals loved her. She'll provide plenty of cuddle time as well as play time, and she follows detailed instructions without issue. I'd certainly hire her again. Thank you!”
“Hannah was very compassionate and understanding of my anxiety about leaving my precious tiny senior chihuahua in a hotel in Vegas. She FaceTimed me Before and assured me she was in good hands. She sent me pictures throughout her stay with Coco. Took her for a walk my baby was peacefully sleeping when I got back to the hotel after the concert. I highly recommend trusting Hannah to care for your beloved pet!”
“Sarah is such an awesome person and my dog loves her. Highly recommend her services. She is very thorough and detailed. Will definitely call her again!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats since birth! I have experience giving medicine to older pups and exercising the young ones! Spending time with dogs and cats is my favorite hobby! I am a student-athlete that is home for the summer. I train early mornings and late nights, so any time in the day works for me! I have a fenced yard with an open pool. A two story house with a gate if needed. A turf with space to run on.
“Patricia stayed at our home and took care of our 3 big boys. We came back to a clean home and found our babies well taken care of. She is very professional and at the same time very friendly, kind, and understanding. I highly recommend Patricia to care for your precious ones.”
“Kyle was amazing with our 2 cats and our 1 large breed 13 year old senior dog. He provided daily updates, walks, pictures & videos, and took meticulously care for our pets while we were away. We definitely would recommend Kyle to anyone who has pets of all sizes. We definitely look forward to booking again and can’t thank you enough sir!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends for 5+ years since my business allows me to work from home. I love being outside so friends and owners appreciate knowing their pups will get some exercise and enjoy themselves! I’m an Online Fitness Coach for business professionals/entrepreneurs. I work remotely so I have open time to care for your dogs. I’m very into fitness and staying active so I’ll bring them on my outdoor adventures (walks, runs, hikes etc)! I live in an apartment with a balcony so your dogs will always be in view. My complex has a dog park with other normal parks walking distance. I can crate your dogs as long as it’s provided and they are trained. I stay local every day so always have time to check on dogs even if I step out. If I’m getting outside for exercise, they’re definitely coming with me!
“Cody took awesome care of our 3 dogs! We have two young dogs and one 18yr old deaf and blind dog. All three were happy and the house was spotless when we got back. We will definitely use Cody every time we need a sitter!”
About: I grew up with dogs of my own growing up and am always the go to gal for pet-sitting my friends pups! I’ve been around lots of bigger dog breeds growing up and love to run around and play with them. I have experience with reactive pups as well and can handle up to 90 pounds on leash comfortably. Currently have two pups in our home and I adore them. They are getting older and don’t run around and play as much so I am looking to not only make a little money on the side but mostly just have fun and play with the pups. I do love all animas and will take great care of any pet but I have a special place in my heart for dogs! Very much looking forward to caring for your pets :) I currently am not working full time and am pretty flexible with my schedule. I plan to do a part time seasonal job this spring/summer at a plant nursery and I do arborist work on the side but both flexible and not full time. Anytime I am caring for a pet in their home or mine I always treat them as if they are my own and make sure their safety and wellbeing is a number one priority. I have cared for crate trained dogs and have experience caring for big dogs who can be reactive and anxious. I also always make sure they feel comfortable and provide a calm environment to ease any nerves about a new person caring for them.
“Nadine was a miracle in our lives and we can’t thank her enough! My husband and I planned what is possibly the last cruise of our lives - he being 94 and me 86! We have 2 rescued pets, an Alaskan Husky and a MaltePoo - both 10 yrs old. Our Husky, Tex, has diabetes and requires insulin injections twice a day on schedule & Biscuit who has separation anxiety issues seemed to not panic about our leaving. Nadine was the perfect in house pet sitter for our 2 week absence! She had the experience and background to handle both of our pups care! But, most of all, Tex and Biscuit immediately responded to her loving care. If, by chance, we could still be able to take an extended trip again, we would certainly contact Nadine! I’m sure that Tex & Biscuit would wag their tails in thanks!💕 GJ & Joe”
“Keisha is an excellent dog sitter! She kept me informed with frequent pictures and texts. I felt very confident that our dog was in good hands. I highly recommend her! Carolyn Parmelee”
“Absolutely the best!! She took great care of my fur babies sent lots of pictures which I loved because this was the first time leaving Felix. Kim made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care.”
“Joycelyn and her significant other are fantastic pet sitters and house sitters. She communicated often with me, was very thorough, supportive and helpful. I highly recommend her! Thanks again Joycelyn!”
“Lexi took great care of our cat while we were gone. She sent so many pictures and videos. Our long haired cat was well groomed and happy when we came home! Lexi was super responsive and is very thorough and trustworthy.”
“I am so happy I found Alex! She took the best care of our high anxiety high maintenance dog! Our home looked fabulous when we arrived. Both our dog and home were so well cared for. I highly recommend Alex and will be using her again.”
“Violet did an amazing job with our 3 girls! We would recommend her 110%. Very personal, efficient, and communicates the best! Sent lots of pics and did lots of check ins.. we are so happy to find her!!”
About: Hello! My name is Wendy. I boarded dogs at my home in Salinas, California for over 9 years. About a year ago I moved to Nevada, and now I live in Henderson. I am now available for house sitting only. I have an in-person job during the week full time, but I can stay at your home with your pup, feed and walk him/her in the morning before I leave for work and in the evening when I return. I am free on the weekends. I love to cuddle in the sofa with a pup and watch a movie together, walk around the neighborhood, and make each other company. Your pup will be loved, taken care of, and won't feel lonely. Your home will also be in trusted hands with me. I work Monday to Friday in-person at the strip 8-5pm. Your pup needs to have free access to potty breaks (such as a doggy door or a backyard) when I am not at your home. We will start by having a Meet & Greet before the reservation day. I require 2 weeks' notice so we can schedule a Meet & Greet first and make sure your pup gets to know me. I look forward to hearing from you! I require a Meet and Greet at least 2 weeks before the reservation is confirmed. We meet at your home and I meet your pup :) Monday to Friday I work in person at the strip 8-5pm. Your pup needs to have free access to potty breaks (such as a doggy door or a backyard) when I am not at your home. So your pup needs to be house trained. I will make sure he/she is fed, a walk in the morning and in the evening, as needed. Important: I can only watch dogs up to 40 pounds. Only small to medium size dogs. I am a small person :) And I can't watch Pitbulls, Rotweilers, Bull Terriers, Bulldogs, Dobermans or Boxers. Please read my profile for helpful information :)
Townsite pet parents share their Rover experiences
I highly recommend Jill as a pet sitter. She took exceptional care of my two Maine Coon cats while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. She spent quality time playing with them, making sure they received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Jill also went above and beyond by keeping my home clean and tidy throughout her stay. It was wonderful to return to a well-maintained house and two happy, relaxed cats. One thing I especially appreciated was the regular updates and photos she sent. Seeing my cats comfortable and well cared for made being away from them much easier.
I needed a dog sitter last minute. I read the reviews on Jocelyn and she lives close. I decided to book her and see how it went. It went great! Sierra loved Jocelyn. She was well taken care of. She received a new toy. My house was nice and neat when I returned. I will definitely book Jocelyn again.
I needed a dog sitter last minute. Alex showed availability for the day in question. I read her bio and decided to tey her. I am so happy I did. Sierra absolutely loved her She was on time. My house was well taken care of BUT most importantly my girl was. If you are looking for a sitter, give Alex a try. I will definitely be using her again.
Kimberly recently looked after my dog while I was away on a business trip. My dog is always with me, and we have only spent one night apart since he was a puppy. Before I left, Kimberly took the time to meet him and walk him to get to know him and his behavior. She was a wonderful pet sitter and made the whole experience easy and stress-free. When I had a last-minute emergency on my way back to Las Vegas, Kimberly stayed late to help. I felt sure my dog was in good hands with her, and my dog loves her!
It’s my first time using rover and I was nervous to leave my dogs, but grace did a great job and always updated me with pictures throughout the stay! I have two big dogs who can be a lot and she handled them like a champ ! My house was very clean when I got back and I had two happy dogs!
Kat was an amazing house and pet sitter. From the beginning she was outstanding with communication. Her care and attention to detail to make sure my dog was taken care of really shined. Considering he has separation anxiety and other special needs I was nervous with this being the first time I left him behind, but Kat put any worry to rest and my dog definitely bonded with her quickly. He is more happy and relaxed than I would’ve imagined with us being back home now. She made sure to love him and care for him like her own. I look forward to using Kat for any future needs and would definitely recommend her.
Patricia was great watching our dog, mochi. We appreciate that she stayed up late as we went to a concert that ended at midnight (pick up closer to 1am) She also took plenty of pics and sent great updates. She also took our pup out to potty multiple times
Kyle was amazing with our 2 cats and our 1 large breed 13 year old senior dog. He provided daily updates, walks, pictures & videos, and took meticulously care for our pets while we were away. We definitely would recommend Kyle to anyone who has pets of all sizes. We definitely look forward to booking again and can’t thank you enough sir!
