“Thank you so much, Shannon, for taking such great care of our pups! We didn’t worry while we were gone, and we know the dogs had a great time and were well cared for!”
“Stephanie was very communicative and took good care of my pup and house. The place was clean upon my return and my dog seemed to be very happy spending time with Stephanie. Highly recommend”
“Anthea was our first experience using Rover and we lucked out! She was attentive, respectful, reliable and kind. She kept us updated with photos and texts or emails several times a day, enough that we felt safe but never bothersome. Our house was spotless when we got home, you would have never known she was there except our sweet boy was so well taken care of. I got to see their goodbye and he rested his head on her shoulder for a nice calm embrace, showing how safe he felt with her (he can be timid when we aren’t around). It was a wonderful experience and I would recommend Anthea to anyone!”
“Peyton was so nice and he has good energy. He started giving Jupiter attention the moment he arrived and even distracted him while we finished packing and loaded the car. He sent lots of pictures and updates and was always very quick to respond. We’d love to have Peyton stay with Jupiter again!”
“Kylie was amazing!! She seemed to love Jax as much as we do, even took him to the doggie park more than we do (grateful for that). She communicated often, sent adorable pictures, and allowed me to enjoy my trip without being too worried about Jax! We came back to a perfectly clean place, she even did laundry for us to have clean sheets to come back to after a long trip. Definitely recommend Kylie and I will be reaching out to her again if we need a sitter in the future!”
“Our Rescue dog (new to Pure Mutts Rescue) was totally at peace and wonderfully cared for by Matt. We appreciated his last minute availability and we're grateful we did not have to bounce her somewhere other than her new foster home since everything was already confusing for her. She is happy and secure thanks to Matt. We would highly recommend his service.”
“Spencer was great with our kitties. We got update photos while we were away and it was great to see them so relaxed and happy. Our most shy Mika came out and interacted with Spencer right away. I appreciate the level of communication and care, and I love coming home to happy cats. Looking forward to more trips and we will be booking with Spencer again.”
“Anna and Julia were amazing! They kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos and made sure our animals were well taken care of! The house was extremely clean when we came back, too! Would definitely book them again in the future!”
“Although the boys were really excited that I was home they still ran back to Pat with their favorite toy to see if she would throw it. So my dogs were happy and well taken care of and Pat cleaned up after herself. Good experience.”
“Olivine was absolutely wonderful! Our Copper was grieving the loss of her little sister and she really went out of her way to give her extra attention and cuddles. We couldn’t be more grateful.”
“Michaela, unfortunately, had to deal with a broken nail on one of our dogs that happened the night before our trip, and she handled it extremely well - she kept us informed and took the right precautions to let it heal. Our house was spotless and pups were relaxed and clearly cared for upon our arrival. Michaela’s communication was honestly perfect for us. She sent a picture and a message, daily, and it was plenty (sometimes it can be a bit too much from sitters). We’d definitely let Michaela care for our pups and home again :)”
About: I have owned dogs all of my life and love being in their company! I firmly approach pet care with positive reinforcement and focus on their needs first under my care. I am a volunteer at a humane society and constantly work with all different types of dogs. I work remotely, so when your dog is under my care I will be around all the time! I am an avid hiker/runner. Does your dog need an outlet for exercise? I'm happy to help burn off that puppy energy! Does your dog prefer to relax around the house or take leisurely walks and sniffs? I can provide that as well! I work remotely, so I can be available to board at all times! I am also free on weekdays after 2pm for walks/visits and on weekends any time. I live in an apartment on the first floor. Dogs are allowed on furniture and I have additional space for a kennel if your dog prefers crate space. I also am able take the dog on walks and fun outside of the apartment every 2-4 hours.
“Selma did a wonderful job house sitting and caring for my dog while we were on vacation. She has excellent communication which I greatly appreciate. She gave frequent updates including pictures. My dog was happy and tired when we returned home. We will definitely have her back for more house sitting and dog walks in the future! Thanks so much Selma!”
“Hannah was absolutely fantastic with our pets- our dog and baby kitten. She looked after them, gave them lots of love and they were very happy after we gone for 6 days. We were a little nervous leaving our baby kitten alone for the first time, but Hannah was awesome- she sent pictures and was communicate with us the entire time. Highly recommend her for looking after your home and more importantly, your fur babies. Will definitely be reaching out to her the next time we need care for our pets. Thanks so much, Hannah!! -Jihan & Dan”
“Madison stayed in my home for 2 nights. She was very good about sending a picture each day to show me my dog was ok and content. She seems very kind and trustworthy. My home was as clean as when I left and I felt my dog was well taken care of. I no doubt would want to have her pet sit again.”
“Skyler was absolutely amazing to all of our pets and everything was done so well. She took photos daily and it was clear that our pets were treated extremely well.”
“Patricia did a great job taking care of my senior dogs. She asked lots of questions to make sure she understood how they need to be cared for. She also updated me daily with pictures.”

Van Mall pet parents share their Rover experiences
Peter was truly outstanding! He took incredible care of our pups and house, was communicative and incredibly trustworthy. He went above and beyond walking our two dogs, brushing them and playing with them daily. I would recommend Peter to anyone! Will absolutely be asking him to watch our pups again!
Skylar is exceptional! She consistently exceeds expectations in fulfilling her house-sitting duties and caring for our beloved pets. I am truly grateful for her help! I give her five stars for her outstanding character, punctuality, communication, and the love and care she brings to our home and animals. I cannot thank her enough or give her enough positive praise!
Alex is the best! We needed help with our three cats with very little scheduling notice, and Alex stepped up to help. He took notes while I went over their routine, and I could tell he took caring for them very seriously. He even agreed to bringing in our mail and watering some plants. One of our cats is diabetic and needs insulin injections twice daily, and she was also on an oral antibiotic. Alex updated us regularly about how the cats were doing, whether or not the diabetic cat was eating, and how feedings and medication administrations went. It really eased our anxieties with leaving our three cats with individual needs in the hands of someone so capable and trustworthy. Alex's professionalism and dedication to providing quality care for our cats and the house while we were gone allowed us to focus on what we needed to at that time. We will undoubtedly request his services for future cat care needs while we are away.

We were a little nervous leaving our baby kitten alone for the first time, but Hannah was awesome- she sent pictures and was communicate with us the entire time. Highly recommend her for looking after your home and more importantly, your fur babies. Will definitely be reaching out to her the next time we need care for our pets. Thanks so much, Hannah!! -Jihan & Dan
AMAZING! We had to book for pet/house sitting relatively last minute after our original pet care plan fell through for a pretty long trip abroad. Kylie was absolutely the best. We received updates and photos daily and were able to rest easy knowing our dogs were being well looked after
Athena was wonderful! This was our second time having her house sit and first time with our puppy. She was very flexible and understanding when the morning of our trip, our puppy was experiencing some issues that required me to stay home longer and her to give some unexpected added medications. Our puppy hasn’t required many meds yet and Athena was able to figure out ways to get her to take them and she was immediately on the mend and did great while we were gone. She took great care of our girls and our home. I know that our pups can’t wait for us to leave again so she can come stay with them!
Jenny stayed with our dog Oliver and cat Ringo over Memorial Day weekend. We had met with her a couple weeks earlier just to get to know her and were instantly impressed. She is very personable and was immediately at ease with our dog Oliver which we loved. We had a great conversation and talked about some of the difficult things with our pets and she didn’t have any issues. Jenny has a little more life under her belt (unlike some of our past Pet sitter’s) so we felt very comfortable leaving her at the house, able to handle unforecast things that might come up. I’m not saying she’s old, ha ha. Just saying it’s nice to have someone a little more mature watching our house and pets. Jenny was very communicative when we were on our trip. We got photos and videos daily and updates on how they were doing. My dog didn’t even look like he was missing us.She took him for daily walks and watered some of our outdoor plants as it was warm. When we returned, the house looked better than when we left it. Thank you so much for that! We will definitely use Jenny in the future. I’m actually hesitant to write this review because I don’t want her to get more popular than she already is! Good pet/house sitters are so hard to come by. Thank you again Jenny, Eric and Julie
Courtney was truly AMAZING! She took great care of my dog while I was out of town and went above and beyond to help him feel comfortable. She was an excellent communicator and was so respectful of my home. She allowed me to enjoy my trip and not be so worried about my Dino. I will definitely book with her again and only trust her with my fur baby!
