“Anna is an excellent pet sitter. She is responsible, compassionate, caring for our dog and takes wonderful pictures. Anna won’t hesitate to call or text you with any questions. She left our dog happy, home clean and us relaxed knowing our dog was well taken care of. Thank You”

“We are so happy to have found Beth on Rover. She was great with our dogs and we felt like they were in very good hands. I highly recommend Beth and would definitely use her again if the need arises.”

“Gabrielle was so helpful with my doggos! We had a pet emergency right before we left to go on an international trip and she was able to help give medicine and comfort. You can’t go wrong with Gabrielle!”

“Sari was fantastic with my babies! She was able to watch them for an entire five day window at my house, She took them on walks, was always entertaining them and made them feel safe and happy! I loved the videos and photos. She sent me on vacation so that I could see how they were doing! Wonderful visit.”

About: Most of my experience was from growing up with my cockapoo Casey. He made me realize how much I enjoyed the company of dogs, and it made me more than happy to help family and friends with looking after their own pets when they would be away. I always want to make sure they're kept loved and appreciated and would do my best to make it feel like their routine is the same as it always is. Since I currently have a part-time job from home, I have the flexibility to take care of pets during the day for any food or potty breaks, as well as availability during the afternoon and evening to give dogs the love and attention they need. I live in a home without a fence, however we live in a neighborhood that makes for easy walking. There is also space indoors for dogs to run around and play with toys, which my previous cockapoo would do all the time.
“Yuliia did a wonderful job caring for our sweet dog Aspen and keeping our house clean and organized. Her level of communication was above & beyond and we absolutely loved every video & photo she sent to us. She was very professional, punctual, and we could clearly see how much she cared for our dog. She was by far the best sitter we have had and we highly recommend her!”

“Jillian is a professional! She is great with communicating updates and pictures. I trust her 100%. It is comforting to know Summer is in good hands when I travel.”

“Erica was great! Our girl went in to heat the day before we were supposed to leave. Erica not only took on the challenge confidently but calmed our nerves with consistent updates of the extra care she provided.”

“Joseph was great with our dogs, they were in a great mood when we got home! Good communicator and house sitter. He’s stayed with our dogs twice now and we will definitely book him again!”

“Ke'vin was very flexible with scheduling when we had to find someone quickly to leave town for a family emergency. With little notice, he came to our house for a first meeting and then started the next day for a overnight sitting service for five days. Our senior dog is always afraid of new people but Ke'vin sent videos of her and it's clear she warmed up quickly to him and really liked him. He gave her meds with no issue. I'm glad we found Ke'vin on Rover!”
“Paige was absolutely fantastic! My pets loved her (even our shy boy) and she is great with both cats and dogs. Paige is professional, kind, and detailed oriented. I highly recommend her wonderful services!”

“Logan was excellent - this was the first time we were leaving our two dogs at home during a long vacation. Logan has been extremely responsive and the dogs loved her! I highly recommend Logan -”

About: I grew up in a tropical country, surrounded by animals everyday. Naturally, learning and caring about them became my passion. I also have my own pet cats and dogs as well. I believe that I can provide the best love and care needed. I currently work at home, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! Preferably noon to night time only because I have to take care of my babies as well. I’m living in a single house right now with a cat and a dog. Your fur babies will have plenty of friends to play with here!
“Maya did an outstanding job for us. She accepted a last minute request, which included a 6-day stay at our home while we were out of town on vacation. She connected very well with our 72 pound medium Bernedoodle, giving him lots of attention and care. Everything went smoothly and she remained focused and supportive to the end, even when our return flight was delayed by 3 hours. Thanks again Maya.”

About: I’ve been around and had dogs my whole life. Whether it be taking care of them from a couple weeks old giving birth training, staying active or even just going for a hike. I’m currently a social media influencer so I work remotely and don’t have a high demand of attention needed for my work. So I would love to stay busy whether it be walking dogs, cuddling and playing or even taking selfie else and get that perfect dog portrait. I am able to host or come to your location to better accommodate your fur baby. Love taking dogs on walks so we both can get our steps in.

“Raagini took such good care on our fur babies! She sent lots of pictures and updates, and spent plenty of time each visit just hanging out and loving on our pets. Will definitely use her again, and highly recommend her. Thank you!”


“Hiwi is the best! She kept us up to date with how our 2 very needy dogs and cat were doing through out the day. She is very loving and a great communicator. Would use her again in a heartbeat!”

“Lauren did an amazing job watching our two dogs. She communicated well, responded fast and followed our directions. She sent daily pictures and I could tell the dogs were well looked after. It’s easy to see she is great with animals! We will definitely use her in the future.”
