“Alyssa was available to take care of my boy at the last minute, and im not sure why she was available to book because she did an amazing job caring for my 75 pound siberian husky. She went above and beyond to ensure his needs were met and provided lots of photo updates to put my mind at rest that everything was going fine.”

“Anthony was great! Took good care of a Denver with lots of walks and trips to our dog park. Very easy to communicate with him , it was nice to know Denver was in good hands. He even sent pictures everyday of her!”

“We’re so happy with Brooke taking care of our fur baby, Maggie Mae! She’s absolutely amazing for overnight stays—we trust her completely in our home, and everything is always just as we left it. On top of that, she’s gone above and beyond for us. While we were away, she graciously was willing to deal with roofers and show them exactly where the leak was—such a huge help! Also, Brooke is incredibly accommodating and understanding, especially when our travel plans shift due to airline delays or cancellations. She sends plenty of pictures (which we love, because we miss our Mags!) and is always super communicative, positive, and reliable. Highly, highly, highly recommend! We are thankful for her.”

“I can’t say enough about Bethany. She took such good care of my pups and cat. I felt totally at ease with her staying with them. She send plenty of pictures and quickly responded when I’d check in. She left my place in such great condition. If you need a sitter for your fur babies don’t think twice about hiring Bethany. She’s the best!!!!!”

“I have not had a new Dog Sitter in over 12 years. Cynthia was absolutely the best with my sweet girl Linda. I could not have felt more comfortable. She was absolutely the best and if there was more than 5 stars to give I would give them!”

About: I've cared for cats and dogs all my life, but became a sole caregiver 24 years ago. I specialize in caring for pets with complex needs including subQ fluids, diabetes management and insulin injections, asthma inhaler/nebulizer treatments, and oral/injectable meds. I have a passion for TNR and have successfully rehomed/rehabilitated hundreds of foster dogs and cats. Three dogs and six cats have owned me, two of which lived over 20 years. I'm currently working part-time from home so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pups or cats. I have a flexible schedule and always put their needs ahead of mine. I currently have a large fenced yard and two indoor cats in Clearwater, FL. I prefer to care for pets in their home environments, but can be flexible. I do whatever I can to care for and make them feel at ease. To me, there's nothing better to earn than an animal's trust -- I understand each has its own traits and quirks.
“Taylor was very good with Hunter. He had a couple of skin infections and she was on top of it! He had a trip to the vet and a trip to the ER. She made sure he had his medicine, daily exercise, food and water, and made sure he wore the dreaded cone. Taylor took very good care of him. Taylor gave us daily updates and pictures of Hunter. If she had a question, she asked. Taylor also stayed at our house. She treated it as her own. Everything was in order when we came home. Bedding (ours and Hunters) was washed. We were very pleased with the care Taylor gave Hunter and our home.”

“Wonderful experience. Stephanie is impressive personally, and with my pup, she is hands on and heart in. Her professional background gives her the expertise and capacity to care for others, whether human or canine, in a remarkable way, and her genuine positivity and perspective are refreshing. It's a joy to work with Stephanie.”

“Jason was wonderful, patient with our anxious dogs. We lost both our sitters as they moved. So we’re working on finding new sitters. At first our little one was very scared and vicious.. Jason gave him treats and won him over in no time. He just stayed the day, but definitely call him again. He’s definitely a dog whisperer.👍💜🐾”

“Beverly was a wonderful caregiver to our elderly pup. We could tell he was very comfortable with her and she treated him with love and kindness as if he were her own. We would highly recommend her to everyone who has pets to be cared for.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 10 years old. I am now in my 20’s taking care of my dogs, cats, and pocket pets. My current work schedule is during the day time, so I can drop into care for animals in the evening or later night time hours. I have a fenced in backyard I have to enrich my dogs playtime. I have cages for my animals if/when they are needed during the day.
“Nastasia was great with my dog. We knew she was the right person to care Clover from the moment she met her. Nastasia is professional, caring and very patient! We appreciated the regular updates and photos.”

“Stephanie stayed in our home with our two boys for 3 nights and was absolutely amazing! She sent pictures, updates and was so kind. Our hearts were at ease knowing they were in great hands while we were out of state. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

University Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Madison went above and beyond during her stay at my house. Communication was great, she sent so many pictures and videos. I know my dog Nash had a great week with her and got so many cuddles. She left my house better than she found it. I highly recommend her for any service!

I am so happy with Bethany who not only took very good care of our dog Benji while we were away for six days, she took great care of the house as well! Bethany sent photos daily and I could see that our dog was not only happy but also relaxed and comfortable. That was the main thing I wanted. When we returned, the house looked fabulous, our dog was excited to see us, and we couldn’t have been more happy with this experience! I would highly recommend Bethany to anyone for dog sitting and housesitting. She is responsible with a calm personality and I am so appreciative. Five stars all the way!

I can’t say enough good things about Corrina. She took wonderful care of my elderly dog while I was away. My pup requires extra attention and patience, and Corrina was incredibly kind, gentle, and attentive to all her needs. It was clear that she truly cared about my dog’s comfort and well-being. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup—and that means everything. I would highly recommend Corrina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.

Cindy did a wonderful job taking care of Bailey and Lulu! She sent lots of pictures and made sure they were happy, loved, and well cared for. I could tell they got plenty of cuddles and attention. She also took care of everything while I was away, which gave me such peace of mind. I’ve been using this app for over three years, and Cindy is by far the best sitter I’ve found. I’ll definitely be booking her again for my next vacation. Highly recommend!

Maria is wonderful!!! I was so nervous leaving my babies (two Shih-Tzu mixes) in someone else's home and for a 2.5 week trip overseas - the longest I've ever been away from them. But she put me at ease immediately! It's so clear how much love she showers on the animals she cares for and how much knowledge she has as well. She sent me photos, videos, and messages daily and reassured me. They were completely at ease in her home, well cared for, and having fun too! I was able to quickly relax and enjoy my vacation. I would not hesitate to leave them with her again and, in fact, have already rebooked. Thank you, Maria. Moxie and Tonks can't wait to see you again.

Ashleigh took amazing care of our two babies again while we were on our honeymoon. We had total peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Even Pars, who usually doesn’t warm up to people easily, ended up loving her! She left our home spotless and even surprised us with a sweet welcome gift. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommended!
