Net was the best dog sitter during our short vacation from home. She left report cards for our two elderly dogs and sent so many pictures. It's nice to be able to leave and know your kiddos will still be cared for! Can't thank her enough.

Samantha took incredible care of my dog, arriving on time, providing consistent updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away!! It was clear Griffen was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Samantha again.

Linda is trustworthy and responsible. She cared for my pets in my home while I was away for almost 3 weeks. I came home to a clean house, and my pets were well cared for. I would definitely recommend her.

About: I have owned and lived with dogs and cats for my entire life. After losing my beloved shihtzu 6 years ago I decided I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. I foster pets, dogsit/housesit board and walk dogs and I have a flexible schedule. I love dogs of all sizes but I only have space in my own home for dogs under 20lbs. I am available to do home checks and midday walks. I am available for overnights or weekends stays. I will of course follow your rules for whether pets are allowed on the furniture but as far as I am concerned, your pets are family and in my home they can go anywhere that I can go! If you’re looking for someone calm, dependable and responsible, look no further! I have a flexible schedule and can be available for midday walks, dinner, enrichment, and overnights. I love field trips and fun adventures with your pup and can also just hang out if they need companionship. I do not have any pets of my own so that I can dedicate my time to pet sitting and fostering. This enables me to host small pets in my home or to stay with pets for extended periods such as vacations.

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life. I’ve dog sat for neighbors and family friends and nannied for kids with pets. I myself have a cat and a dog. My dog was a rescue and originally had behavior issues so I understand that not all dogs are perfectly behaved. I am a university student who is doing independent reaserch this summer. I have a super flexible schedule and can accommodate to whatever/whenever your pet needs! I currently have one cat in my apartment , but when I go back to my family’s house for breaks I walk and play with our dog and take full care of our cat (food, litter box, cuddles).

Our first experience with Leah has been great! She took perfect care of our 4cats. Leah is a great communicator and took good initiative when things arose that we hadn’t been able to discuss in advance. We’ll definitely feel our cats are in excellent hands when we have the opportunity to have her here again!

Larissa was recommended from a friend for a last minute urgent need. Larissa did a meet-and-greet and 5 drop-in-visits. She made our out-of-state trip significantly less stressful, knowing they were in good hands. She was able to administer a capsule medication and give lots of love and play to our babies in addition to the less glamorous aspect of scooping a multi-cat home and cleaning some cat vomit up. She even managed to coax our timid cat out for scratches after I adamently assured her he would hide the entire time lol. We plan to recommend Larissa to friends and rebook ourselves. Although our cats were happy to have us home, they also seemed a little disappointed that we were not her.

Thank you, Sara! Our cats were well looked after while we were away. Sara’s timeliness and communication were so appreciated. Our cat who can be picky about taking medicine took her pill from Sara no problem. Sara has a natural touch with animals and treats them with so much kindness.

***FIRST TIME ROVER USER**** When my normal sitter became unavailable, unexpectantly, I had no idea what to do. I was at the point of not going away on my vacation because it was about a week away from leaving. This was my first time using Rover, and my anxiety was through the roof about the entire process and the idea of a stranger coming into my home. I chose Marybeth primarily based upon location, her photos of her and her pets and her age/experience. Upon meeting Marybeth, her overall kindness and genuine, sweet, friendly personality put me at ease immediately. She listened attentively to what my needs were and my animals routines, without trying to change or judge anything. She was promptly responsive to all of my communication prior to leaving for my trip and the duration as well. When meeting (2) of my (3) fur babies kitties (only because 1 is a scaredy cat and won't come out for anyone really), you could tell immediately that she has a love of cats and taking care of them appropriately and lovingly. I left instructions for her and she followed all of my requests (even non animal related, like bringing in my mail and checking on my refrigerator door that pops open). She was even kind enough to check on my hamster even though that was not part of the animals requested to watch. Every day while I was gone, she was on time, left me a happy little note about the status of everything and pictures of all my babies. Personally, the fear/worry/anxiety about leaving my babies as well as just someone coming in my home was enormous, and Marybeth really put that to ease for me. (I know I already mentioned that, but I figured for anyone reading this, who is on the fence about hiring through Rover). I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, kind, sweet person to take care of your precious family members while you are away. She even returned my key promptly upon my return. Thank you to her again. I am forever grateful for her.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s dogs for many years. I make sure to walk them every day with a balanced meal. I will bathe your dog if requested or as needed. I’m a recent college graduate so I’m available most of the week. I’m ready to devote myself to giving care to animals and I love spending time with them. I live in an apartment with my partner and our two cats so, I’ll only be able to provide services at the client’s house. I will take the dog on leash if there is no fence. I have worked in animal clinic in the kennel so I experience with crating dogs at night. I additionally love spending time with cats and will play with them. I like to meet cats where they are at and not push their boundaries.

Nicole was amazing! We have used Rover for years, but have never had someone come to our house, so I was very anxious to start this process in general. From the messages, to the meet and greet, to the actual dog sitting, I can confidently say Nicole was an excellent choice all around. She is very communicative and personable (putting my own anxieties at ease!), sent detailed updates, was incredibly respectful of our home, and all of my kids were very happy with her. My dog is often a loud and anxious weirdo, but was excited to both meet Nicole and then have her in our home. Even my temperamental cat wanted to interact with her. We will absolutely check her availability next time we are in need. Thank you so much again, Nicole!

This was my first time using Rover and Lauren helped walk me through the process and put me at ease. Lauren took wonderful care of my cats. She sent me updates each visit and plenty of pictures. What particularly impressed me though was my [typically] more shy cat really came around and was curious about her. Seems like my cats were impressed, too.
