“Willow was amazing with our special needs and sometimes high maintenance dog! She sent plenty of updates and went above and beyond to make sure Karishma was comfortable for the week. The fact that Karishma was trying to play with her by the end of the week speaks volumes of how well Willow handled her since she doesn’t play with most people :) Willow, also, was very respectful of our house and left it in fantastic condition for when we got home!”
“Allie was amazing during her stay with our boys. She gave us updates often, and made us feel very safe and comfortable. Our boys mean the world to us, and it gave me such peace of mind to have her care for them while we were away. Allie, you were awesome! Thank you for all your care and attention. I highly recommend Allie for all your doggie care needs. She will NOT disappoint. :)”
“Alan always does such a phenomenal job watching my three cats. He sends detailed updates and pictures, and I know that my cats are in very good hands when he stays with them. I’m looking forward to having Alan back again soon.”
“I was so relieved to have Cindy watching our 2 dogs and 2 cats. I am definitely a helicopter mom but Cindy is so knowledgeable and well versed in dog and cat behavior that I was put at ease immediately during our meet and greet. She was quick and professional when communicating and sent some really great photos to me while I was away. She even sent a video of my dogs happily playing which they don’t normally do when they have a sitter! They loved her as much as I did. 10/10 I would book her again! Thank you, Cindy!”
“So happy I found Dani. She has a very warm and calm presence. Perfect for my highly reactive and anxious pups. She always responds and sends pics. I’ve already booked with her again.”
“When Emily took care of my girl over spring break, I was nothing but comfortable the entire time being away from my dog. She was very loving and kind to her: always made sure her water bowl was full, fed her on time, walked her and let her sniff everything, but most importantly, Emily gave Jill space to get to know her on Jill’s terms. That’s important to me because she didn’t make Jill feel uncomfortable or pressured to like her, she let it happen naturally, and boy did it. I can’t recommend Emily enough, thank you!”
“Brianna was an absolute delight and wonderful house/cat sitter. She consistently communicated with us including videos and photos. Before our trip was over I had already booked Brianna for our next trip 😁. I highly recommend her for any of your pet needs. She showed my sweet cat all the love and I never worried about her.”
“It can be unnerving having someone you just met come stay at your home, but Steph made me feel very comfortable! I enjoyed how many photos she sent daily. She knows how to take care of cats with different issues and was even willing to give my cat medication when she had an allergic reaction a couple days before I left. She was patient and kind with my cats who can sometimes be timid with strangers, and was able to get them to open up and play. Steph did a wonderful job taking care of my babies and made me feel like I could enjoy my trip better knowing my cats were ok.”
About: I bring a fresh, devoted perspective to pet sitting, caring for hyperactive, senior, sibling, and loud dogs with patience, love, and genuine passion unmatched by lifelong dog owners. With classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pups! The rest of my week is wide open, giving me the flexibility to provide dogs with attentive, loving care. I care for pets in their own homes with love and reliability, having dog sat while owners were out of town, always remaining respectful and responsible toward their property. Save & Continue
“This is the second time we’ve used Katlyn’s services for house sitting. She did an excellent job looking after the house but most importantly taking wonderful care of our dog and cats.”
“Meredith took such great care of my pets while I was away! I came home to a clean space with all four fur babies happy, healthy, and chilling. She provided regular updates and photos while I was away. I highly recommend booking Meredith for your pet care needs, five star experience”
“Beyond happy that we found Eli on Rover . We have two- I would say high maintenance-ish dogs and Eli handled them like a champ. We were very specific in the manner that we wanted our dogs cared for, and it seemed as though Eli went above and beyond. He stayed in our home for the weekend while we were away. When we returned, our pups seemed very happy and comfortable with him and our home was just as we left it. I can’t wait to plan our next trip so we can hire Eli again. Would 1000% recommend. Thanks Eli for the great service you provided. It’s obvious that you love what you do.”
“Our dogs loved Annabella! They almost seemed sad that we were home!!! She communicated well and sent pictures! She gave us peace of mind while we were away, which is hard when you have a nervous dog around new people! Our house was spotless when she left too!”
“Bryce was awesome with our dogs!! He was great with communication and sent updates with pictures regularly. Our dogs and house were well taken care of. Will definitely rebook in the future :)”
“Desiree was AWESOME!!! Friendly, punctual, and genuinely loves pets! My dog loved her! I felt safe with him in her care! I highly recommend her!! I will definitely book with her again!”
About: I grew up living and working with dogs, from miniature dachshunds to dobermans. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, having trained my own doberman since she was a puppy and volunteering at a local animal shelter where I worked with dogs of all sizes and temperments. I dog-sit regularly for coworkers and friends, taking their animals on regular walks, potty breaks, play dates, and training sessions. Looking to dog sit to spend more time around animals and take a break from my studies! I am a full-time college student with a car, meaning I can take care of your animals overnight, over weekends, and during the week. Monday through Thursday I can spend my mornings and evenings with your pet, and Friday through Sunday I can spend as much time needed by their side. Weekends and overnight shifts are extremely easy to accomodate. I can devote time to earning your pet's trust and making sure they are comfortable in my presence. I can adjust to an anxious, or rowdy, or couch-potato cat or dog, crating them, taking them outside to get out some energy, or simply hanging out with them in the same room.
“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!”

Zoe B.
“Zoe is truly one of the most dedicated people I know! I’ve had my dog Dakota for almost 7 years, and there are only two people that I trust to leave her with one of whom is my mother. Zoë is so attentive, kind and caring and truly, my dog loves her! I never have to worry or stressed that Zoë is going to do her job well when it comes to watching my precious baby, and I know for a fact, she may even take better care of her than me at some point. Zoë would be a phenomenal asset to the Rover family and would do a great job watching anyone’s loved pet.”

Brenna is a lovely, highly caring and competent caregiver. We were thrilled with her care of our pup and our home. She is thoughtful, responsive, conscientious, and genuinely a kind soul who made our nervous dog feel safe and loved. We highly recommend Brenna, who went above and beyond expectations!
All the previous reviews about Ali were correct, she is a gem. As soon as she and my three dogs met, I knew everything was going to be just fine. She stayed at my house for four days and three nights, and it meant the world to me that I knew both my house and my dogs were in excellent hands. Not only does Ali love dogs and take great care of them, she’s a really great communicator as well. She asks good questions and also sends information and photos and videos every day. It made all the difference knowing she was taking such good care of things at home and I could focus on having a wonderful vacation. I hope she’ll be available next time I have to go away.
Meredith took such great care of my pets while I was away! I came home to a clean space with all four fur babies happy, healthy, and chilling. She provided regular updates and photos while I was away. I highly recommend booking Meredith for your pet care needs, five star experience
Sue Hyon took great care of my babies while I was out of town and I would absolutely recommend her services to others! I have a senior cat who requires several daily supplements and feedings, as well as a senior dog (Ginger) who resource guards and has an unpredictable mood with a bite history. Naturally, I was very anxious about leaving them in the care of someone I don’t personally know. My dog wasted no time showing her nasty side, refusing to allow Sue Hyon to put her harness on, with a (thankfully minor) bite incident to follow on day 2. I was mortified and fully expected her to cancel the rest of the booking or at the very least keep Ginger at an arm’s length. Not only did she stay, but she continued trying to get that dang harness on until she eventually succeeded. To even more of my surprise, she STILL went out of her way to take Ginger with her to bars and restaurants with dog-friendly patios because I mentioned how much she enjoys it. I was truly shocked by that and it immediately eased all of my worries. Thank you again, Sue Hyon!!
Jamie did everything I asked of her. She took good care of our Phoebe. Our pup takes a pill daily and is a little shy about eating and Jamie was able to get her to do both of those things. She left the house clean and brought in the mail. I’ve already booked her for another house/pet sitting in a few weeks.
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!
Gabby was amazing and so sweet! We felt so comfortable leaving Woody in her care. We came home to a happy pup! Gabby was very communicative, sent us updates and left our home spotless (which was soo kind of her to do). Will book with Gabby again! Thank you 🫶🏼
Joelena was absolutely amazing taking care of our girls! This was the first time we left them for a longer period of time so we didn’t know what to expect but Joelena went above and beyond! We got daily updates, 3 or 2 times a day to know our girls were doing good, fed, walked and pottied! If anything seemed out of their routine she would let us know! Our little one tends to be shy around strangers but she came around to Joelena, which was amazing! We loved having her watch our girls and she’ll be the first person we ask to watch our babies again! Joelena made us feel so comfortable being away from home since we knew our babies were in such good hands!
