Excellent! This was the first time we used Rover. Holly was absolutely wonderful. She sent us a pic every day, with a little detail on how our Chloe was doing. She even brought over some tennis balls to play with. I had left very detailed instructions on how to care for Chloe—probably more than was necessary. Holly was very gracious and reassuring. Just a great experience.

Lauren is absolutely phenomenal! I don’t leave my dog with too many people - she’s my baby (and quite particular/quirky about things) She went above and beyond with Nova. Her communication was wonderful, she sent photos and reassuring messages letting me know how their day/evening was, and she was friendly!!! Good vibes immediately and felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. Can’t say enough good things!! 💛🐕

We loved having Alexia stay with our pup! We came home to a happy bouncing pup, and we knew he was so very well taken care of by the way Alexia sent pictures every day, having all kinds of cuddles and fun. Would recommend her 110 % and can’t wait to have her sit for us again.

Great dog and home caretaker! We were out of the country on vacation and had a snowstorm and home plumbing issue while we were gone. McKenzi was a champ and handled it all and kept our dog happy and healthy throughout.

About: I’m very organized, communicative, and attentive to routines, whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medications, cuddles, or just someone calm and patient around them. I’ll always send updates and photos so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. I know every pet is different, and I’m happy to adjust to their needs and personality. I currently work a full-time job that allows me to come and go as I please. I am available for stop ins/bathroom breaks and dog walks. I would like to follow the routine that you have in place for your animal. I have no issues with administering medicine for your animals or changing any padding / bedding.

Kimberly was so attentive to all of our dogs needs! She made sure they were safe, happy, & healthy. We have more high maintenance dogs and she was the perfect sitter for them. In addition to making sure our dogs were perfectly taken care of, she went above and beyond with house sitting too! My house is going to be sad I’m back because Kimberly took such great care of the house and garden! 🥰

We had an amazing experience with Addison! From the moment we left, communication was outstanding. We received regular updates, photos, and messages throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were clearly well cared for and loved. It was obvious that she took the time to get to know their personalities and made sure they were comfortable, happy, and safe. She was incredibly reliable, professional, and kind, and we never had to worry about a thing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative pet sitter!

About: I have had dogs my entire life and currently have five. Taking care and raising dogs has always been something I love to do. We just had a litter of puppies that I helped raise and train. I am willing to take care of any dogs, as well as, walk them. I can care for puppies if needed! As I am home for break I am free any day of the week at any time. This will decrease once school starts again. I am willing to do late night and early morning visits as well. I am willing to deal with multiple dogs in a clients home. If dogs need to be walked separately I can do that as well. I am use to having to deal with different personalities of dogs and know that the clients know best. Whatever directions the clients give me I will be sure to follow.

This was the first time I have used Rover and had Eli as a sitter. He made us feel comfortable with having him care for our pets from the beginning. The night before we left our 12 year old shitzu had a small infection and was giving 3 meds. Eli took care of everything as prescribed and gave us several updates, easing our mind and allowing us to enjoy our trip knowing everything was fine.

Kristen was AMAZING! I never leave my dog with anyone except his normal sitter (she was booked for my trip this time), but I chose Kristen and couldn’t have chosen anyone better. She also kept my house just how I left it, which is very important to me. She just may become my new normal sitter! :)

About: Although I am a cat mom of two, I also have deep care and compassion for dogs of all kinds! Since I was 16 years old, I have volunteered on and off at my local humane society, giving care to all animals. Care including: ensuring all dishes and laundry are fresh and clean, cleaning cages, feeding, as well as giving love & attention to each cat and dog! I also have had the honor of caring after my neighbors dog for about a year. This care included: taking him on walks and playing with him every 2-3 hours, feeding him, as well as giving plenty of love and pets! I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of quality time to spend with your furry friend! During the week/weekends, I do not have a set work schedule, however I am flexible to work around my start and end times! If needed, I am able to easily crate your dog, I am able to take any precautions of care, as well as take upon requests that your fur baby may need during his/her time with me.

About: I have had 3 dogs in my whole life and I’ve loved them all. I love taking care of animals. I have experience watching both my friends and families pets while they were on different vacations. I am currently in college and am currently in online classes so I have a pretty free schedule and am looking to occupy myself with making money and loving on some cute puppies! I feed my dog and groom him. I give him bathes and take him on walks daily. I take my puppy to have play dates with his friends too.

About: Hello, I'm Rebecca. I'm 28 years old. I've always been an animal lover. I live with my parents who have had multiple dogs over the course of my lifetime. Being the only child still living with them, I've become their dog sitter anytime they leave for a trip, etc. I began experiencing disabling health issues right out of high school and resorted to dog sitting as a way to make money as I was not able to hold a "real" job. I grew to love it. I'm healthier now and looking to find more opportunities outside of friends, family, and neighbors. I would love to broaden my horizons and care for fur babies full time. I'm currently unemployed and have a very open schedule. I have experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs, and anything in between. I know how to administer medication and clean up accidents due to my past elderly dogs having health complications. I also have experience caring for rabbits and cats. After the passing of my 9 year old rabbit in June 2025, I felt like a piece of me was missing. Only a couple months later, I started dog walking for a woman in my neighborhood daily and it helped me through the grief of losing my bunny. That's what caused my desire to dog sit/walk to grow even more. It is said that "time heals all wounds" but the unconditional love from a furry friend really helps pass the time. I'm also a house plant lover. If needed I can water and care for any houseplants during overnight sittings. No more worrying about your beloved pets or plants while you're away! With me you can have peace of mind that they're all in good hands. I'm currently unemployed. I have a very open schedule except for weekdays from Noon-1pm (when I dog walk in my neighborhood). I have 2 separate church events scheduled on the 4th Saturday of every month. Scheduling walks or drop in visits can be tricky that day because the events don't always have a set time. I can dog sit at your home on those 4th Saturdays as long as I am able to leave for a couple hours for the events. During drop-in visits/walks I rinse and refill water bowls, replace empty treat toys, clean up any accidents that may have occurred, play with your fur baby to release any pent up energy they might have, and complete any other duties you may have for me. I pay close attention during potty breaks and notify the owners if anything is out of the ordinary. When dog sitting I can stay at your home overnight if needed. If not I can check in as often as you'd like. I can provide updates through out the day and pictures so cute you'll want to frame them.

Jessica took care of our pups while we were out of town for a day and she was awesome. One of our dogs is very timid around strangers and Jessica took the time to make her comfortable and won her over with treats and affection. She was great with communicating with us. We will definitely ask her to watch our dogs again if we need another dog sitter!

We had an amazing experience with Payton! Luca absolutely loved her and was so well cared for. She stayed at our home, kept everything very clean, and went above and beyond by leaving us a beautiful handmade welcome-back card and a sweet note about her time with Luca. She sent us pictures and detailed updates throughout the week, which we really appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing Luca was in such loving and trustworthy hands. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
