“My boy George was obsessed with Marianne the minute he met her. I left town for a few days while Marianne was watching him and I got lots of updates and photos about the stay. If you have separation anxiety like I do while leaving my dog, he will be in great hands. I’ll be definitely booking Marianne back to back for future stays. I feel so lucky to find someone so good to my beloved pup, who is also so respectful to the property. Thank you Marianne, we love you :) Eva & George”

“Nancy is our go to sitter and takes care of our dog and our home as if they were her own! She provides daily updates and photos and we can tell our dog adores her! He’s never stressed when we return home and she cleans up after herself so much that you would never know she was here. 10 out of 10 stars!!”

“Diana made us feel at ease leaving our fur babies at home for our vacation. We received photos and updates our entire trip and for the first time we didn’t need to worry. I would recommend Diana and Rover a million times over.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. I have a husky of 6 years that is practically a cat in a dog’s body. I personally get very anxious when leaving my furry friends for trips, so I know how important it is to send pictures and updates of how your fur baby is doing. 9 times out of 10 I am the person in the corner playing with the dog at social events, so I will make sure your pets are well entertained and having a good time! I just graduated from Cosmetology school and got my license, and as of right now I have an open schedule. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I have a husky that has severe separation anxiety, so I will make sure that your pets are calm, safe, & sound even if that means sitting on the floor with them for hours. When taking care of multiple pets at once, I am very aware of my surroundings and making sure that everyone is getting along and having fun.
“I will always choose Tabbitha if she is available! Friendly, amazing communication and frequent updates and photos. My dog loves her - after I’m home, for a day or two she keeps looking to the front door (I come in from the garage) as if she is hoping to see Tabbitha, too. She leaves my house spotless and generally makes me feel like my dog is very much appreciated and safe. Highly recommended!”

“Booking with Lauren was great! She was quick to respond and very nice during the meet and greet. She house sat, followed my instructions for my pups and left my place clean! Looking forward to having her watch my dogs again in the future.”


“Absolutely stellar pet sitter. I booked with William last minute since I had to leave town and my other sitter had fallen through, and he did such an amazing job with Fonzy. Consistent updates and photos, asked questions, and my place looked great when I returned. Highly recommend for others!”

“Trevor did an amazing job taking care of my dog for the entire week. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure my dog was comfortable and happy while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Trevor to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!”

“Maren is an incredible housesitter and dogsitter. She was responsive to texts and communicative about our dog's needs. We have a large breed and he can be very stubborn, and I appreciated her patience and flexibility with him. She made sure he had his medication, went to the bathroom, and went for walks. She closely followed our directions with his leashes, which I so appreciate. She also cleaned the floors and picked up the house before she left, and I cannot tell you how nice it was to come home to a clean house! Luca was happy and healthy when we returned. We'll definitely ask her to watch our dog again!”
“Heaven was amazing! She was great at communicating and sharing photos of our pups throughout our time away. We also loved that she’s obviously a big dog lover. I’m so glad we found her! I always felt like our babies were in good hands. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Kim rocks! This is our second time booking her and she did a wonderful job yet again! Lots of pictures and videos, which we love and appreciate so much. Our pups love to snuggle with Kim! Will definitely book her again! Thanks again, Kim!”

“Nicole is so kind and friendly, provides frequent updates, detailed care, and helped us out in a pinch. I can’t recommend her enough. She asked great questions to ensure care was consistent and correct, which was important as we have a senior, special needs dog with an extremely complicated med regimen. The house was left in excellent condition and I never felt like I was waiting for the next update. If you want excellent pet care, hire Nicole.”

“Thank you for taking such good care of Carleigh! We didn’t have a second of worry. Thank you for leaving our house so clean … hardly a trace that you were there. We’ll be in touch for our next no-dog vacation. Thank you for making this so easy and stress free!”

“We could not be happier with Jamie and the service and care she provided. Total peace of mind from the meet and greet; pre trip communication and initial to end house sitting gig. Jamie was very personable; extremely confident in her pet caring skills; and takes her work very seriously and with complete professionalism. She arrived at the time we set up, kept in contact with us throughout our trip; showed great care to pets and home. Could not recommend her care enough.”

“Daniel was fantastic! He was very accommodating with our young puppy's high needs and it was obvious that he's a real animal person. The dogs loved him and he was very trustworthy and communicative. I would highly recommend him!”

“Ynez was so incredibly patient with my 4 month old Pomeranian puppy and my 6 year old pom who is very shy / barks quite a bit with new people, but warmed up quickly to her! I hate leaving my boys but I got plenty of updates and photos, which made being away much easier knowing they were happy and in the best hands. Absolutely recommend Ynez and will be reaching out to her next time I head out of town!”

“Zack took care of Milo while we were away for the weekend. He communicated with us regularly, shared regular updates, and took great care of Milo and our house while we were away. It was really easy and enjoyable to work with Zack!”

“Punctual, quick to respond, and professional. Seemed to care about my dogs as much as I do which is hard to do. Never a doubt in my mind that my pets or house weren’t going to be perfectly taken care of. 10/10 rating. 5 stars. Thank you!”

University Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
I have a rescue dog with a sorted background. One of her issues is fear. She’s been with me now 9 months and I needed to visit family. I was so concerned how my girl would handle me leaving. Well! Marie is a pro and had my dog adoring her in no time which was a huge relief. Marie communicated several times a day and I could see my dog was totally relaxed. When the sit ended, my girl kept waiting for her to come back ❤️. A perfect example of success!
Claudia was the best choice for an international trip that caused me so much dog-mom anxiety, especially with our senior dog. Our girls were well cared for and our house was left exceptionally tidy! Highly recommend Claudia for any house sitting needs, she will definitely be our go-to for any future trips.

Zack did an excellent job caring for our babies. He was communicative throughout the entire stay, followed all of our instructions carefully, and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We were especially impressed with the care he provided to our senior diabetic dog. Zack handled insulin injections and other medications confidently and reliably, which was incredibly important to us. It's clear he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. Thank you for taking such great care of Graham and Winslow. They absolutely loved you, and we would not hesitate to book with you again in the future. Highly recommended!

We had such a great experience with Madison watching our dogs! She stayed at our home and was incredibly kind and respectful of our space and home. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our girls looked so happy and well cared for, and we loved that she took them on walks and gave them plenty of love and attention. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Overall, she did an amazing job and made the whole experience stress-free for us. We would absolutely book with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
