“Rhoda was wonderful with my boy Benny! He clearly was content and happy, she communicated with texts & photos regularly & took great care of all while house sitting. Will definitely request her again!”
“Lyndsey was wonderful with our puppy, Ares. She is always punctual, keeps me informed with multiple updates, and carefully maintains his schedule. I especially appreciate that she shares key information about Ares throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend Lyndsey if you’re looking for attentive and loving dog care! 😊🩵”
“Summer was amazing and made herself available short-noticed. We were travelling to saint Augustine with our Husky Luna and needed someone reliable and caring to keep her company and Summer fully delivered that! We are very happy with her and were able to enjoy our weekend stress-free.”
“Charlotte was fantastic with our 2 dogs. She stayed at our home and was very respectful and clean. The dogs were so happy. She gave them all her attention. Will definitely rebook with her.”
“Ana was absolutely wonderful with our dog Perry! She was so kind and thoughtful, and it was clear she truly cared about his comfort and happiness. We loved receiving the frequent photo and message updates—such a relief to know he was in such good hands. Perry received excellent care, Highly recommend Ana!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Laura. She took amazing care of my cat, Saylor, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She spent quality time with Saylor, even brought her special gifts, and kept me updated every day with photos and videos. She’s incredibly communicative, trustworthy, and reliable. I also really appreciated that she left my home spotless. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and I could tell Saylor was happy and comfortable with her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and dependable pet sitter! we are looking forward to more sits with Laura”
About: I've been caring for animals my entire life, as I wanted to be a veterinarian growing up. I have 5 years of professional pet sitting experience and am skilled in puppy training basics (housebreaking, crate training, basic commands). I love working with shy or fearful pets and have endless patience helping them come out of their shells. My clients say I have a natural gift for reading animal body language and making pets feel safe and loved. I work part-time as a grader, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your cats. I can accommodate morning, midday, evening, or overnight visits, whatever works best for your pet's routine. My remote work setup means I'm often home and can provide extended visit times or last-minute care when you need it. I'm also available on weekends and holidays when finding reliable care can be challenging. I offer flexible care options depending on your pet's needs and your preferences. Whether visiting once daily or staying overnight, I prioritize your cat's comfort by maintaining their exact routine in the familiar environment of your home. I'm conscientious about home security, keeping doors locked, preventing escapes, and never advertising my or your absence. I'm also respectful of your space, keeping everything clean and following any household guidelines you provide. Daily updates with photos give you peace of mind while you're away.
“Rylie was wonderful taking care of our home and babies while we were away getting married. She handled everything great and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy because we knew she had everything handled at home. Would highly recommend working with her for house sitting or drop in visits.”
“Keyla was wonderful with my golden retriever Freja. She let me know when she was there and took pictures to show how happy Freja was with her. When I got home Freja was happy as can be and not stressed that I had been gone for the weekend.”
“Lindsay was amazing and so sweet! Very punctual and great with communication while I was gone. She provided daily updates and photos and my pup was so comfortable with her. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and senior pets. I’m patient, attentive, and take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I focus on creating a calm, loving environment and always prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with pet parents through regular updates and photos. Pet care fits into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check ins to ensure each pet gets consistent care and attention. I’m home often and able to be flexible, which allows me to give pets the time, patience, and routine they need to feel comfortable and at home. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine with feedings, walks, playtime, and affection. I focus on safety, cleanliness, and comfort in both my home and clients homes, and I always provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Highly recommend! Jesse watched our two cats while we were away for the week. She kept us updated and did a great job taking care of them. The cats were happy and healthy when we got home and I could tell they were being well taken care of all week. Jesse was a pleasure to work with and we look forward to working with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve had many pets throughout my whole life and have trained quite a few from the start. I currently have an American Pit who i’ve trained from a puppy and is a rescue. I work with all breeds, ages, and sizes, I will always send you pictures and videos and keep you up to date (because i’d want them to), i’m available a lot and I accept same day drop ins. I do have another job but i can always stop by to say hi to your furbaby:) I work part time and pet sitting is a fun side hustle that pays me to come and hangout with your furbabies. It is such an amazing job and works out with my flexible schedule at my other job. I provide at your home convenience which also happens to include photos and videos of your baby, i can feed and walk or just sit and pet them, whatever you want me to do i got you!
“She did an amazing job watching over our two cats and house sitting for us while we were gone for the weekend. She sent photos and kept up updated & the house is in great shape. Thanks so much! Looking forward to rebooking soon.”
“Carrie was so great house sitting for our family. She sent twice daily updates and pictures. She seemed to genuinely enjoy the time she spent with our animals and the house was exactly as we left it. Everyone was in good spirits when we returned. Very happy with her service.”
University pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time having someone stay in my home to care for my pets, and Laura made the experience wonderful. I’m a pet mom to 2 cats and 5 dogs, including three very energetic Frenchies, and she handled them with so much care and patience. She made me feel comfortable from the start, and my girls loved her. Knowing they were able to stay in their own home and routine meant everything to me. I will definitely book Laura again. She’s already part of our family!
Definitely love Morgann! The animals seemed to love her too and everything went very smooth. My husband and I wanted to go to a concert and our very dependent animals can’t be left alone. It was a last minute booking and Morgann took great care of all 5 pets. She even gave thyroid medication to our elderly cat. Will definitely be booking her for house sitting again!
The best sitter our fur baby has ever had. Kathryn was highly communicative and sent lots of photos and updates while we were away. She gave us so much peace of mind and went above and beyond our expectations. She was very considerate of our home and is highly organized and clean. Her personality makes her an incredible sitter. 11/10 would recommend!
Ana was amazing with my dog. My dog is very wary of new people and hadn’t had a Pet Sitter stay with him in many years. But he was recovering from knee surgery so needed to stay home with someone. Ana was very patient and really took the time to learn his personality and very quickly they got along great. Ana was extremely communicative with me and my dog very quickly trusted her. Ana has a lot of experience with all types of dogs, and she used that knowledge to care for mine. She also stayed in my home and was very respectful and even washed all the bedding! I highly recommend Ana and I would definitely use her again.
Jordan was everything I was looking for in a dog sitter. I am an extremely type A dog mom who is used to being home with my dogs. I was very nervous leaving my dogs for an eight day trip, but from the very first meet and greet Jordan put my mind at ease. One of my dogs was instantly obsessed with Jordan the moment he met her, and my other dog (who is normally very nervous around people) even felt comfortable enough to sit next to her. During the stay, Jordan was so communicative and sent me multiple updates, photos, and videos every single day. She was very open and honest about anything in relation to my dogs and made sure that I knew exactly what was happening each day. She followed my instructions perfectly and always reached out if she had any questions or concerns about my dogs. I would recommend her to anyone and will 100% book her again.
My Ruby girl had an excellent time with Rhonda, getting spoiled with walks and extra love over Christmas. Rhoda went above and beyond the call of duty and even took care of some household stuff. She communicated with me often and sent lots of pictures. I had such peace of mind knowing that Rhoda was caring for Ruby so well. I cannot say enough good about her!
We could not be more happy with having Nicole house/dog sit. From the moment we met to her leaving the house we had no worries about our pups being in good hands. Our pups are older (12.5 & 15.5 yrs old) and though they are for the most part very chill, they do require a lot of attention. Our little girl has three different medications she is on daily, and have to be given at specific times of day. She is also incontinent and has to be let out to pee every 2-3 hours to avoid accidents. They food is Farmer's Dog and the list could go on of important things that need to be tended to daily. Nicole had no problem at all with any of this. We were able to have a nice vacation away on the beach without a worry. Nicole sent updates with photos and even asked questions to make sure she understood my notes accurately. This was her first time staying with them and the house was spotless when we got back, with a youtube channel on our tv playing beautiful music. The dogs were very happy and I am pretty sure they miss her already!! Highly recommend Nicole (Eunice) !! Hope to have her back soon!! Very grateful-- thank you so much Nicole!!
Gloria did an amazing job house sitting for us. She took good care of our dane, Breeze, and kept an eye on our two cats. She was very reliable, which is exactly the quality we were seeking in somebody who watches our pets. Will definitely book with Gloria again in the future. Highly recommend!
