She did everything I asked of her even fufilled special request after her initial booking. Thank you to Karinna, she gave me the peace of mind knowing my fur baby was looked after while I was gone.”

“Jill did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She was very professional, attentive to any requests as well as the special needs of my youngest and treated my kiddos with love and care every day, including the days when the elevator gave out in my apartment complex. I was initially concerned about a sitter because my eldest is very skittish around strangers due to previous bad experiences with others, but I was surprised to see that she warmed up to Jill right away. 10/10. If ever I need to have a sitter for my kiddos again, I'll be calling Jill.”

And she did her best to still take care of my cat while also dealing with the storm and very cold temperatures we recently had. Le'Andra is nice and very friendly. I would definitely request her again the next time I need a cat sitter, and would also recommend her to anyone considering booking her on Rover.”

This was my first time using rover and I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone. She responded to my concerned mom texts and sent pics of our pup hanging out outside. Hunter was smiling, happy, and seemed worn out after his stay with Lisa. We cannot thank her enough for all her help. Thank you so much Lisa!!!!! ?”

About: Ive been a dog owner all my life and have pet sat for many family and friends. Young or old, I love dogs and am ready to take care of your furry companion like they were one of my own. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I can watch your pet throughout the week or weekends as needed. Just walks are available throughout the day too. I have a fenced in back yard, as well as a medium sized crate for crating if needed. I currently don't have any pets of my own, but plenty of toys an activities for a fun doggy day! I also live close by a few parks and dog parks that can provide a nice field trip.
“Ashley has been an amazing dog sitter for my dog, Mia Cristina. She is consistently punctual, dependable, and clearly truly cares about Mia’s comfort and well-being. From the start, it felt like Mia was in great hands. Communication was excellent. Ashley sent updates all day, including photos and thoughtful comments, so I always knew exactly how Mia was doing—what she was up to, how she was feeling, and how the day was going. She’s professional and attentive. She followed my instructions carefully, treated Mia with care, and made the whole experience stress-free for me while I was away. A+ recommendation. I couldn’t be happier with the service and will absolutely book Ashley again. If you want someone punctual, warm, and great at keeping you updated (with photos and comments all day), Ash is the one.”
“She is amazing! I am a nurse, so I am working long hours. I received updates, pictures, and flexible sitter hours. She accepted me in such short notice. Out of town workers, just put your anxiety at ease. Your baby is in good hands with Izadora.”
“Nazim took care of our dogs with a short notice which was very convenient for us. He was courteous and helpful. The dogs bonded with him immediately. They had plenty space to run. We were happy with his service.”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, and I've always had the responsibility of taking care of them. I've cared for family dogs and I help my daughter with the care of dogs and cats. I like to make dogs feel at home. I don't work, I'm always at home, and if I have to go out I always take the dog with me; it gives me time to take him out to do his business, play with him, and he always feels accompanied. I live in an apartment with a garden where they can relieve themselves and a gated parking area, but I still prefer taking them to the park to walk and play.

“I would 10/10 recommend Jillian. Our first time meeting she did awesome with my dog and her experience with dogs and training really shows. I’ve never seen my dog so responsive and attentive to commands or behaving properly before. If you ask for any tips Jillian has plenty of experience and showed me how to get the best out of my dog. After the walk, my dog plopped right down on the floor and got ready to nap. I definitely will use Jillian in the future for any dog care needs.”
“Margaret is an exceptional service dog. She communicated effectively with me and diligently followed my instructions for my English bulldog, who is my daughter. Her performance was truly remarkable, and I will definitely use her again.”
“Let me begin by saying that my dogs are my children and I treat them as such. I am very critical of who I allow to care for them. That being said, I HIGHLY recommend Lauren for any dog service you need. Lauren treats my dogs as if they were her own. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My dogs adore her and that means everything to me. It is apparent from the moment you see her interact with your dog that it is not just a business to her, it is her love. In addition, her knowledge regarding all aspects of canine care is extensive and helpful. The peace of mind in knowing that my dogs are well cared for is priceless.”
