“Jasmine was very caring to my baby kitties. She regularly sent us updates on how they're doing and what they're doing. My kitties are shy and Jazmine was patient and gave them time to get accustomed to her. After they opened up to her, the kitties loved rubbing up to her and eventually cuddling with her. She also left my house as clean as it was when I left. I'm so glad I found Jazmine. Now I know who to book next time. 😊”
“Ally was amazing! Our pup scratched himself a little bit while we were gone so we DoorDashed some things to take care of him and she was SO helpful! She applied the ointment to the wounds and made sure his cone was on and secure so he wouldn’t scratch at them. She was very communicative and made sure we were updated the entire time so we knew our baby was okay! Will definitely be booking her anytime we travel!”
“The is was my first experience with Rover and leaving my Lulu with anyone and it was FANTASTIC! I could not have picked anyone better than Mooney! He treated Lulu like she was his own dog. Trips to the dog park, photo shoots, updates, Mooney was exceptional! It is such a relief to know that I have a great dogsitter now, who is easy to communicate with and loves Lulu as much as I do!”
“We are very grateful to Cedric for taking care of our little dog when we needed help the most. It was a last-minute emergency, and they were incredibly helpful and understanding. Excellent care and great availability. We truly appreciate it and highly recommend them.”
“Sarah took wonderful care of our 2 dogs, watered my plants, and refilled my hummingbird feeder while we were out of town for 6 nights. We came home to a clean house and 2 happy pups!”
“My house sitting fell through just a few days before I went on a week-long trip. Ashlie swooped in at the last minute to save the day! Thanks to her flexibility and understanding of my situation, we arranged a meet and greet nearly within 24 hours. She was so easy to work with while I was frazzled with the last minute changes. While I was gone Ashlie sent pictures and responded quickly to questions and requests. I have no doubt Annie was comfortable and happy in her care. She was also very respectful to my space and belongings. I'd recommend Ashlie to anyone needing house sitting services, especially if you need someone with large dog experience.”
“Absolutely wonderful! My girl was so well loved, cared for, took her ok so many walks and adventures and was such a great communicator. Thank you Janessa for being amazing!”
About: I’ve trained and cared for many dogs throughout my life, from agility training high energy puppies, to senior canine hospice. I’ve been a volunteer with the ASPCA since December of 2023 and have deployed to their cruelty recovery center in Ohio multiple times as a volunteer kennel technician. I currently work as a veterinary assistant at a small practice in Woodland, Ca I am currently working full time Tuesday-Friday 8am-5:30pm as a veterinary assistant, and Saturdays 8am to noon, so when I’m not at work, I love to spend my time giving your pet(s) the attention and structure that they deserve! I can stay overnight with your pet, or do daily check ins starting at 6 am. Any time I leave your pet unattended I will provide them with a safe form of enrichment to keep them busy.
“We had another great pet sitting experience with Holly. She is always so thoughtful and communicative, and our fur babies (2 cats, 1 dog) just love her. What a gift it is to be able to leave our pets and not have to worry about them. Holly makes it so that we can truly enjoy our vacations and not have to worry about what’s going on at home. Thank you for another awesome stay, Holly!”
About: I’ve always loved animals when I was young, i grew up taking care of my friends pets and farm animals but now I am also working at Animal Den Pet Resort and have some professional experience in giving care to dogs and cats. I’m open to adjusting the prices. I’m pretty much free all day for a while. I’m also a runner so I can take them on some good runs! The only times that are busy are Sunday’s and Tuesday and Wednesday evenings I actually cannot have any dogs in my home so my care would mostly be dog waking and house sitting. I believe I may have made a mistake in my settings for this option
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Not only did Kelcya and Elizabeth take fantastic care of our baby and kept us updated - they left an amazing snippet of Sookie’s behavior while we were gone. Already booking with them again!”
“Our first time booking a sitter for our 6-month-old Cavapoo and Michelle is awesome. Kept us updated on how he was doing throughout the night and even sent some pictures of him while we were away. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi I'm Brittaney! Multi cat owner and Oregon Humane Society adult volunteer. 🏠🫶🏾NOTE FOR CALIFORNIA HOUSE SITS: I'll be available from May 22nd-27th. 🫶🏾🏠 🐾 Due to an ankle sprain, my availability is limited to only drop ins. 🐾 I have 8 years of experience caring for cats, including feeding, litter care, playtime, and administering medication. I’ve also provided professional cat care during weeklong stays. For dogs, I offer gentle, reliable walks to help them stay active and happy. I make sure all pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, paying attention to their routines and personalities so every visit is tailored to them. I provide daily cat care and dog visits on a flexible schedule. Morning visits: M,W,TH,F 8:30–9:30am and 7:30 am - 9:30am on Saturdays, Mid-day visits: Wednesday 10:00–1:30pm Unavailable: Tuesdays (Sabbath) & Sundays Note: I work full-time, so a little flexibility with visit times is appreciated. I provide pet care only in clients’ homes for two reasons: I want pets to be in the comfort of their familiar environment and I have two cats of my own that are territorial. Your pets’ safety, trust, and well-being are my top priorities, and I want to make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for while following their usual routines.
“Dani is an absolute top notch dog sitter. She watched our dogs and our house over the week of Christmas while we traveled. She made sure to meet the dogs before that week, asked all the important questions, and was patient with our picky little Chihuahua. While we were gone she sent daily photos, clarified anything that wasn’t clear, and made sure our dogs were entertained during a rainy couple of days. She left our house clean and well cared for. I would ask her to dog sit again in a heartbeat.”
“Lez did a wonderful job cat and house sitting while we were out of town for the week. There was easy communication via text while we were away. Our senior cat enjoyed her company and care. We returned to a well kept home and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Lez’s services again.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and understanding I bring to every dog I care for. I’ve raised and cared for dogs through all stages of life, from energetic puppies who need gentle training and consistency to senior dogs who deserve extra comfort, patience, and attention. I recently lost my own dog, who was truly the love of my life. While I’m not in a position to welcome another dog of my own right now, caring for other people’s dogs allows me to share that same love, devotion, and attentiveness. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and deeply cared for while you’re away. I currently have a full time job, so weekends would work best for me (including long weekends). Or I could also make most evenings work. I provide loving, attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine. In my apartment, dogs enjoy a calm, clean, pet-safe space with plenty of supervision, regular walks, playtime, and rest. I prioritize enrichment and frequent potty breaks to keep dogs happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible: feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed so pets feel secure while you’re away.
“Thank you, Mel! Thanks for taking care of my dog, two cats, and a chicken while I was on vacation. My neighbors said you were delightful, and BONUS: the house was cleaner than when I left! I can’t tell you what that meant!”
“Mary was amazing! She made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her (our first time leaving him with someone besides family). She sent adorable photos throughout the week. She communicated with us prior to, during and after the house sitting. I think our dog Zac wanted to go home with her! We will definitely call Mary again. So glad we found her! Kathy & Brian & Zac”
Village 5 pet parents share their Rover experiences
Stumbling across Christina’s profile in our scramble to find a last minute overnight Petsitter for our pittie a kitty was such a win! She went above and beyond to make our girls feel comfortable and was a great communicator throughout her stay. Would hire her again in a heartbeat (and plan to!)
Michelle was so great!! My dog got sick last minute before my trip and required additional care including meds and topical ointment as well as more careful observation. She took on the last minute responsibility and took great care of my two pups. She was easy to reach and was very patient and understanding of my additional nervousness and more frequent check-ins due to one my pup being sick right before leaving. She coordinated with my dogs trainer for walks and the sitters who swapped during the trip providing updates either them and myself. she took good care of the house and I will absolutely rebook her and I highly recommend Michelle to take care of your pups.
Shelby is amazing. I was a little nervous leaving my three dogs, especially since they can be a bit challenging at times, but she made the whole experience feel easy and stress free. I’ve honestly never felt more comfortable leaving them with someone. She was super communicative, thoughtful, and really went above and beyond in so many ways. I would absolutely hire her again and would plan around her availability because she is that great. Thank you, Shelby!!
Lez did a wonderful job cat and house sitting while we were out of town for the week. There was easy communication via text while we were away. Our senior cat enjoyed her company and care. We returned to a well kept home and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Lez’s services again.
Hailey always takes great care of our pets, in luding a senior dog who requires extra attention and medication. She sends photos and updates frequently. She is very tidy and leaves our home clean when she departs. If you are looking for a respectful, clean, attentive sitter, look no further.
We usually do drop ins for our kitties but did house sit this time and it worked out amazing! Jazmine is responsible, dependable, and communicative. We get a pretty detailed recap of the day and lots of videos and pictures. Of course the kitties loved it and housesit worked a lot better for my cat that picks at his food throughout the day. We didn’t have to worry at all. Ty Jazmine you are the best!!
Kirstin was excellent! We have two dogs, one of which is usually slow to warm up to new people. Kirstin was a pro. She took her time with him, and he warmed up to her in no time. Additionally, she took our boys out for frequent walks, cleaned up after them, and kept the house in great condition. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on everything. We couldn’t be happier; will definitely use her services in the future. A+
We are very grateful to Cedric for taking care of our little dog when we needed help the most. It was a last-minute emergency, and they were incredibly helpful and understanding. Excellent care and great availability. We truly appreciate it and highly recommend them.
Davis was just amazing with our two boys! He was very accommodating and patient with their specific needs. Our boys were well taken care of and he made sure to follow their routines. He provided updates on a regular basis and it just put our mind at ease while we were on our vacation. I highly recommend him and we hope he will be available to take care of our babies again in the near future!
Wow! Jessica was so amazing! She went above and beyond! Great with my large silly husky and it’s obvious she has experience with dogs and loves them. checked in, sent pictures, and much more. She was honest about how my pup was doing. She’s so responsible and took care of the house really well too. Most importantly she did a great job with my babies and is one of my favorite sitters. I got to enjoy my time away and not worry . I absolutely recommend
Shannon was awesome! She gave Erby & Tiger lots of love and attention. She was also great on giving us a daily update with pictures. She spent a lot of time with both of our fur babies. She also watered our plants and took excellent care of our home! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙌. We’ll be calling Shannon again!
