“Rozz did an exceptional job taking care of our dog and cat while we were away for a week. I highly recommend her. She is kind and thoughtful and I felt very secure that she was looking after our house and pets”
About: I have two wonderful cats (whom I would die for) and took charge of caring for our family dog. I am the kind of person that sees an animal in need and I drop absolutely everything for them. I love animals so intensely, I’m a vegan. I find I have the patience needed with animals to build trust and respect. I adore animals of every shape and size and have plenty of experience caring for them. I am working part time, so my schedule is very open! I am available Monday-Friday to check in on your pet, take them for a walk, feed and bathe them, and stay overnight with them. I very much believe in structure being important to a pets life, so I am more than willing to follow whatever routine you have with them. I will ensure that they are as safe as can be at all times.
“We cannot recommend Adam enough as a house/dog sitter. It is always so hard to find someone trustworthy enough to stay in our home and take care of our amazing boy. Adam was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable allowing for us to have a relaxing vacation knowing that our pup was safe. We have a 2 year old doberman who is not always the quickest to warm up to people, however he took to Adam quickly and truly enjoy his stay with him. In addition, the house was in excellent condition when we returned and Loki was happy and well exercised. Will absolutely book Adam again for future sitting opportunities and strongly recommend him to sit your pup.”
“Y’all. YALL. I’m just saying… Sky is FANTASTIC. Soooo personable, friendly, actually took our dog on a walk, and it’s evident that she really cares. Our dog, William, warmed up to Sky SO fast. I hope everyone can book her but I also hope that y’all don’t take my Saturdays ?”
“Stella was amazing! She watched Franklin overnight and did such a great job keeping me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. That meant so much to me especially since Franklin can get pretty anxious when I am away. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Stella and would happily book her again! :)”
“Anna is INCREDIBLE! Our dog had surgery shortly before our trip and Anna did an amazing job caring for her on top of three very spirited cats. We’re so grateful!”
“Paz did an absolutely wonderful job watching our three pups! They were very comfortable with her. She sent lots of photos and updates. We highly recommend her, and would use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Marisol stayed at my house from Dec 23 through the morning of Dec 26 and did a great job. I came home to a clean place and happy, well cared for pets. Communication was easy and I felt totally comfortable while I was away. I’d absolutely book with her again.”
“Thank you so much for watching the pups again!! We really appreciate the flexibility while we were at the hospital for the birth of our son. We always know the pups are in great hands when they’re in your care :)”
“Raquel is a delight. She is warm and responsible. Listens carefully to all instructions for watching your beloved pet and follows through. I recommend her without reservation!!”
“Renee was awesome! Super prompt, easy to communicate with, and really detail-oriented. She took great care of both my home and pup, and everything looked exactly the same as when I left. I’ll definitely be booking her again”
“Margo took great care of my senior dog. She is reliable and a good communicator. She puts in the time and effort to genuinely understand the animal she takes care of. I would definitely recommend her pet sitting services.”
“Kirsten stayed at our house and watched our high energy English Pointer for a long weekend and she was fantastic! She sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Our pup was happy and tired when we got home. Our dog can be difficult with all her energy but Kirsten was able to handle her well. She was also an amazing house guest. We will definitely be hiring Kirsten again for future trips.”
“Jessica was the most amazing overnight pet sitter I’ve had the pleasure to work with! Instead of being a straightforward case, I had to throw her a number of curveballs, which Jessica was an absolute pro in handling, with a level of kindness, patience and understanding that is rare to come across. She is just a great person and I am grateful I entrusted my fur babies with her! Thank you again and again, Jessica!!”
“Christina was so great with our greyhound, Minerva! Christina stayed at our home and gave us daily updates. Minerva was happy and calm when we returned home, so we know she felt comfortable with Christina. We would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Rachel watched Mia for our first international trip! She took wonderful care of her and our home. She was responsive and communicated with us. Mia loved all the attention. Can’t wait to book Rachel again for our next trip!”
“Jacqueline was able to help us out last minute and come house sit our pup. She was very communicative and sent updates throughout her stay. We came home to a clean house and happy puppy.”

I highly recommend Jordyn to care for your pets, she provides top notch dog sitting service! My pets were loved and well cared for as well as my home. I received plenty of updates along with pictures to keep me connected. She is such an amazing person who has so much love to give! Thank you Rover, for having such an amazing person to book in-house pet sitting service while I was on vacation. I' will certainly be one of many repeat customers!!
Maia took great care of our two dogs for almost two weeks with one of them experiencing an unexpected health crisis the second day of care. Maia was very communicative, responsible, extra attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure our ill dog was given everything she needed while we were away. We are so grateful that she was the one caring for them!
Olivia is great! She took such good care of our two dogs while we went away for a long weekend and followed our instructions carefully. She is also very respectful of our home and left it neat and orderly. She even left the tv on for our dogs when she left. Olivia is very responsive and replied to my messages within minutes—sometimes seconds. We would highly recommend Olivia and would definitely have her take care of our dogs again.
Roz was an absolute pleasure! Not only did she take care of our dogs she cared for our home as well. I appreciate all of her daily updates on how everything was going and she understood my anxiety since this was our first time using Rover. We were not sure what to expect but she exceeded all of our expectations!! I’m so glad we booked with Roz and that she accepted our booking, we will definitely be requesting Roz for all of our future needs!!
Morgan did a great job watching our puppy for a weekend! Juni can be nervous and fearful of new people, Morgan came for a meet and greet, learned about her routine and asked good questions. She was responsive when we reached out to check in, and Juni seems to have warmed up to her very quickly! We are so grateful to have found Morgan!
Robyn was one of the best sitters we’ve had! She was super attentive and responsive to our pups needs. We have a very anxious pup, that Robyn knew how to manage and gave the time and space to get comfortable. She managed our older dog with ease and much love! We highly recommend Robyn to anyone that needs a responsible, caring and knowledgeable caregiver!
Jessica exceeded every expectation! I was out of the country for 10 days. Jessica house sat and took care of my two 11-year-old cats. My boy needs meds every morning and evening. She made great effort to make sure he got the meds, especially the first couple of days when he was getting used to her. She actually brought gates from her home and moved furniture so that she could give my boy his meds. She texted me every day with updates and pictures. I recommend her without hesitation. She's great!
My pups enjoyed another successful stay within my home, with Destiny at the helm of their adventures in (canine) babysitting. Destiny came for a pre visit since it’s been awhile, and was every bit as friendly and communicative about needs, concerns, preferences, as I remembered. Loved the daily walks and pics that she sent so I felt comfortable that Chico and Olive were in good hands.
