1. José S.

“José was wonderful to work with and we felt so comfortable leaving our pup with him. He is so easy to communicate with and we loved his photo updates throughout the day. Not only did he do a great job taking care of our dog (and keeping up with his energy!), but he left our home in awesome shape. Thank you for everything José!”


2. Brittany D.

“Brittany was AMAZING! She cared for our circus expertly. We have a house full of rescues that required extra attention. Brittany was able to manage everything and more! She stayed in constant contact with texts, pictures, and videos. I would 100% have Brittany back (if she is willing).”




3. Skye B.

“Skye was amazing and provided such great care for our pets! She house sat for us and left our place immaculate. Absolutely plan to rebook and would recommend her services to anyone, thank you!”


4. Heidi H.

“Heidi was wonderful! She was quick to respond and kept us up to date multiple times a day with great pictures of our boys. We came home to our place to see it in great shape and exceptionally clean. Great experience all around!!”




5. Ursula W.


“Ursula was amazing. She stayed with our puppies all day and sent daily pictures updates. She was great with an anxious dog that needs medication and our blind puppy as well. Will definitely hire Ursula again!”


6. Shelby & Steven A.

“Hands down the BEST Rover experience I’ve had. Shelby was extremely communicative during the stay, sent multiple updates, and just generally went above and beyond in taking care of Rudy. Her love for animals is clear and he immediately felt at ease with her. Thanks so much, Shelby! You’re amazing!”


7. Jaylene C.

“Jaylene is very sweet and listens well. She watched our home, cat and dog for a week. My dog had an owie that needed daily medicine. It was perfectly healed when we got home. She also watered my plants. Everything was in order and we had peace of mind. This is the first time we have had a house/pet sitter. We are so happy we tried Rover.com and especially pleased with Jaylene. We will be sure to have her watch our place and pets in the future.”


8. Krysta H.

“Krysta was great! We were able to go out of town knowing our dog was well cared for. She’s clear and timely with her communication and left our house in great shape when she left. I would definitely on her again.”


9. Kaliyah L.


“Kaliyah was amazing house sitting for our pack of 5. She sent fantastic detailed updates with pictures that left us completely at ease on how our fur babies were doing. She was especially amazing in the way she handled our senior chihuahua's special needs and meds. Would highly recommend Kaliyah!”


10. Brooke M.

“Brooke did a fantastic job of watching my energetic dog while I was out of town for a few days. They made sure I had tons of pictures and always knew what was going on. I would definitely have them watch my pup again!!”




11. Alexandra G.

“Alexandra was great. The dogs loved her. The cat was even comfortable enough to hang out, And he does not like everyone.”


12. Olivia S.

“Olivia is wonderful. She gave our dogs endless love and always updated us with daily pictures. Our dogs were well taken care of and we had no concerns while we were away. Our house was left clean! She cares for your pets and house as if it were her own! We definitely will be rebooking with Olivia.”


13. Samuel R.

“Samuel did an incredible job of caring for our dog and giving him plenty of walks and attention. He was courteous and left our house exactly how we left it (maybe even better). He had great communication with us before and during our vacation. We would definitely hire him again.”


14. Ahli K.

“Ahli was great with our dogs and went above and beyond, especially with our more high needs elderly dog (giving medication, cleaning up accidents, etc). Ahli was communicative and left our home in perfect condition. Ahli’s patience, flexibility, and availability over the holiday was a life saver! We will definitely ask for Ahli again for future house sitting/dog care needs!”


15. Jackson P.

“He was great with our weird pampered pooch, we received consistent updates with photos. Our dog was well cared for and less stressed than usual, he left the house clean, 10/10 would book again!”


16. Julieta A.

“If we could give Julie 10 stars we would!!!! Her communication was amazing. We had to change our trip days and our garage door code wasn't working but her flexibility made it so easy. She took excellent care of our two very high energy puppers and even our skittish kitty came out to give her snuggles, which is of course the best endorsement you could get. She went above and beyond and tidied up some of our toddlers toys that we didn't have a chance to tidy and brought in the garbage cans. We are so thankful to Julie and look forward to trusting her with our house and animals many more times in the future.”


17. Brittney W.
“Brittney was a great dog sitter! We got daily updates on the pups, they were happy and healthy when we got home, and she left our house as clean as when we left. We would recommend her to anyone.”


18. Kelly F.
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life including a handicapped dachshund who was in a wheelchair. I care for family pets and friends because I hate to see them go to a kennel if not needed. I understand that without trustworthy loving care of my pets I was unable to enjoy my time away or vacations thoroughly. I am flexible with all the care needed and will accommodate as many requests as I can. I also live close to DIA which makes pick up and drop off easy for those on the way to the Airport. I have a completely fenced in yard along with a doggie door. I have 2 dogs on sight a female labradoodle and a female fox terrier. Both are socialized and friendly and love to run and play with other pets. They will also leave pets alone if they are senior and not so interested in playing.
