“Michelle and our dog, Meeko, are basically besties now!!! Michelle is a great sitter, we never worry when she is watching our dog, she is a great communicator, always cheerful and so trustworthy! Michelle is the best!”


“Jennifer took great care of our kitty girl (and our home) while we were away. She was easy to get in touch with and gave us confidence our girl was in good hands. When we were delayed coming home from our trip, she stuck around for us and helped take care of our dog too. We are all looking forward to having her come back soon.”



“Elvia is amazing! All I could say is wow after getting home and reading handwritten report cards for all three dogs and my cat individually. She has great attention to detail, care, and professionalism and is adaptable under tight time frame. She sent me pictures every day and spent time to get to know each of my animals so kindly and professionally. Very impressed 100/10!!!”


“Heather bonded with our dog right away! She has a lot of experience with dogs and house sitting, so I completely trusted her while we were away. I highly recommend her!”


“Nicole was amazing! She saved us as we were about to go to Europe and one of our dogs (a 6mo old pup) got kennel cough and could not go to kennel. We scrambled for help and found Nicole on Rover. She took perfect care of our pets and our home, I cannot tell you just how blessed and lucky we were. I highly recommend Nicole.”


“Raquel was more than we could have hoped for. She is kind and professional, caring for our two dogs for five days/four nights at our home. She sent so many photos of them eating, playing, and sleeping, and kept in communication with us the entire time. She is perfect! FIVE STARS!!!!!”


“Ivon was great with our girls! Very attentive and communicative - she sent a lot of pictures and videos every day! Our girls loved her and felt very comfortable with her.”


“Wonderful!! Katie is so kind and has the calmest demeanor. As soon as we did a meet and greet I felt so comfortable leaning my dog Sophie in her care. Katie provided photos and in depth updates so I had nothing to worry about! Great communicator and do easy to work with. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be using her again!”


“Wendy did an amazing job caring for our beloved beagle Daisy yesterday -- texting us updates on how things were going and even sending us a few photos. She is a great influence on our feisty beagle, and we could see how happy Daisy is to spend time with her. Friendly, responsible, attentive to Daisy's needs, we are 100 percent thrilled, and look forward to booking another session again soon. We are thrilled to have found such a wonderful dog-sitter through Rover.com!”


“Jessica was outstanding. Super friendly during our meet and greet. Our trio of two cats and a pup took to her right away and we never looked back. Jessica sent tons of great updates via cute photos and videos, she left our home in pristine condition and we would gladly ask her to sit with us again without hesitation.”


About: Hi! My name is Keira, and I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds my entire life. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior and currently work as an animal caretaker at my local nature center. I have hands-on experience with everything from daily pet care to administering medications when needed. Whether you’re looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, or just someone who genuinely loves animals—I’m here to help. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority! I have my own pets as well including a dog, cats, bird, chickens, gerbil, etc. I have some experience in grooming and training if you would like any extra services let me know! I currently work part time at my local nature center 9am-2pm, 4 out of 7 days a week. Not long hours so I am able to walk dogs earlier and right after work. Or come back after work to pet sit if needed. At an owners house I would ask the pet parent what they think would be best but at my own house I have a big backyard to play with any dogs in my care (leashed or off leash). Any food provided will be fed by instruction and if medicine is needed to be given I can assist with that as well. Always fresh water nearby for any fur baby in my care.

“So happy with Alexandra! She sent regular updates with photos and videos and our little Kiwi was very well taken care of! We will definitely book her again soon!”


“Cinthia was amazing. She stayed overnight with my dog at my apartment and was super attentive and sent lots of pictures. She left the apartment very clean and my dog very happy. Nothing but positive things to say.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 and I love it. Having 2 dogs of my own I know what it’s like to find quality pet care so I like to provide families with the relief of knowing their four-legged baby is being well taken care of! Through my experiences, I’ve learned how to be attentive to dogs cries, whines, whimpers, etc. and body language which helps me make sure they get what they need. I’m currently a college student and am home for the summer. I work at the grocery store 3 days a week so during those hours I wouldn’t be at the house but other than that I will be there! I can’t leave during work but as my hours are short, it has not interfered with my ability to tend to the dogs! I work with each pet parent to make sure I have all the details of the pet’s schedule. In my home, pets are always viewed as members of our family. I believe that pets require the same love and attention that people do so that’s what I share with my clients as well!

“Jess was incredible. We needed a last minute sitter due to an unforeseen family medical emergency. Despite contacting her the night before, she was able to get to our place by 730AM and stay with Tokki all day. She did a great job with him and clearly has a natural way with dogs. We feel lucky that we happened to come across her profile as we now have a favorite sitter in the area.”


“Keri took great care of my 2 fur babies. My house is exactly how I left it and the dogs are as happy as ever. It was so nice to get away for a weekend knowing my pups were in good hands! Thank you, Keri!”


“We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care Janine provided while we were away. She was extremely responsive, kept us updated, and clearly has a natural way with animals—our dogs absolutely loved her. Not only did she take them on regular walks and play with them, but she also went above and beyond when both pups got sick during the stay. She handled everything with so much care and compassion, including cleaning up after them and making sure they were as comfortable as possible. It gave us so much peace of mind while traveling and made a huge difference knowing we had someone we could truly trust. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and loving sitter!”


About: I have had multiple dogs my entire life whom I have to take care of. I also train all my dogs and spent a lot of time with my pets. I currently only have one dog in my home. I am not working this summer so I have all the free time in the world to take care of your pet! I am active and love to play. I have a fenced yard where your dog can run freely! I also have an italian greyhound who loves to play with all dogs. I have plenty of toys too!

“Josh did a fantastic job with my pups while I was away. He is experienced, reliable and is very caring and attentive to the dogs. I couldn't leave them to just anyone since one of my dogs has special needs and Josh made sure he followed somewhat complicated instructions for medication and feeding. I am grateful to have found Josh. I trust him implicitly and will ask him to come back.”

kaitlin s.
“We have a 10YO Rhodesian mix and a 4 month old Great Dane. From the time we brought our first home, Kaitlin has been playful, loving, attentive and proud. In his later years, when she is home visiting, she is the first to jump in and help with his love and care and meds. In addition, she balances her time and attention between him and our new puppy. And I could not ask for a better partner with our new Dane. Her willingness to jump in and take over the new-parent responsibilities (crate training, feeding, outdoor time, sleep schedule, clean-up, etc.) highlights her love for dogs and a level of responsibility many of her peers haven’t reached yet.”
