“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we booked Angelica at the last minute. Luckily, she was available and flexible enough to arrive at 6am and take care of Archie all day. Communication was excellent, and Angelica sent pics throughout the day. Will definitely book Angelica again.”
“Left our three musketeer pups for the weekend, 2 of which are senior and one that requires a bit of extra assistance. We got the cutest and most detailed updates of our pups, and could tell how well taken care of they were while we were gone. Can’t wait to have Stephanie watch and walk our fur babies again next time!”
“Hazel is by far the best Rover sitter we’ve ever worked with. She sent the most amazing pictures everyday, kept our home in tact and was excellent with our pets. She even left us a gift, which was a really pleasant surprise. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for boarding, walking or sitting.”
“This is our third time booking Marlita and our cats adore her. She sends regular updates of pictures and videos everyday. We are happy to have found a reliable sitter who makes our cats happy while we are away. We will definitely be rebooking! Thanks for another job well done!”
“Katrina is a true animal lover who was great with my hyper 45-lb hound mix Sage. She's been on a couple of walks and one overnight housesit. I trust her to keep Sage (an unpredictable bolter when spotting squirrels) safe on the leash and reliabily show up for each walk, even accommodating last minute schedule changes. Katrina took good care of my house while we were gone and even picked up some bone shards that could have been a choking hazard. To top it all off, I got a selfie of Katrina & Sage snuggling in bed. Sage will be looking forward to her new caretaker's return soon.”
“Veronica was absolutely wonderful with my babies! She went above and beyond, from picking up new toys and treats for the girls, to taking them on adventures, and doing everything she could to make them comfortable and happy. I received a ton of pics and videos and it was easy to tell how happy my Lily and Bella were with Veronica's care. I highly recommend Veronica for your pet sitting needs.”
“Sasha was wonderful. We booked for 4 days/3 nights, and had Sasha stay in our house to watch our two dogs. We have traditionally used dog camps/boarding for vacations, and we were hesitant to try Rover. Sasha eased our concerns, and was in constant contact with us, sending us pictures and updates about the dogs throughout the day. Sasha tended to the dogs needs, giving them plenty of treats and cuddles. Sasha was also respectful of our house, ensuring any dishware and pots that were used, were returned cleaned, as well as took the trash / recycling out. Based on all the lovely photos we got, it's clear that our dogs loved having Sasha spend the days and nights with them. Would highly recommend Sasha and will likely book again for future vacations.”
About: I was a soldier in my country, I took my dog training course and worked with many breeds. I really like sharing my time with pets and I will take care of them as if they were my own. I work part-time and I want to share my free time with pets and take care of them as if they were my own and pamper them so that they feel good with me until they return home. I have an empty backyard which I could use for the care and much more of your pets with the greatest security and more confidence
About: As a hard working physician assistant student I bring the same kindness, attentiveness, love, and care to your pets as I do to my patients. I am in my clinical year of PA school which allows me to have flexible hours and the ability to care for my pet and yours too. I have a comfortable home where your pet can hang out and play with my pet, and a nice yard where they can explore together.
About: With over 35 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, needs, and personalities to every pet sitting job. I’m a full-time professional and former certified pet sitting business owner, where I also offered basic dog training services. My background includes caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats, and other small animals—always with patience, consistency, and love. I specialize in overnight stays in clients’ homes, providing pets with comfort and companionship in their own familiar environment. This service is especially valuable for pets who thrive on routine and do best with a calm, reassuring presence overnight. Whether your pet needs a gentle walk, playtime, or just someone to curl up next to while you’re away, I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care. I treat every pet like family—and I know how much trust it takes to invite someone into your home. You can count on me to respect your space and follow your pet’s routine to the letter. As a full-time professional, I’m available for pet sitting weekday evenings after 4:00 PM and anytime on weekends from Friday at 4:00 PM through Sunday evening. This includes overnight stays in clients’ homes, which I’m happy to offer for pets who need extra comfort and companionship. My schedule allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to each pet I care for, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well looked after. I provide pet sitting exclusively in clients’ homes, where pets feel most comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings. I offer overnight stays, allowing me to maintain their routines, provide companionship, and ensure their well-being throughout the night. I do not offer pet care in my own home, but I take great care to respect each client’s space, follow detailed instructions, and create a calm, nurturing environment for every pet I care for.
About: I have never met a dog I didn’t instantly fall in love with. My family dog was truly my best friend and I my favorite memories were taking her on walks and runs. I will make sure your dog is kept safe and is also happy and having fun. My availability for walking and for dog sitting is flexible depending on the day of the week. I would love to spend time with your four legged friends and give them some extra love & care. I hope to meet you and your dog soon! I’m currently self employed so I make my own schedule— I am available most days when needed. Please feel free to reach out to confirm! I do have a small backyard, and my apartment is not too small for a pet. We will never go out without a leash. If you have any details on how you would like me to care for your pet in your own home, please provide them at the time of booking!
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in caring for our Duke, exceeding all of our expectations. She was prompt, extremely communicative, and provided frequent updates complete with pictures and videos. When Duke became picky with his food, Rachel quickly came up with helpful solutions. It’s clear that Duke loved her, and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Juan was excellent! It’s my first time using River and he gave me and my dog a great experience. He gave me reassurance and responded quickly whenever I wanted to check on him. Kovu will definitely be his client from now on :)”
“Thanks so much for taking such great care of Polo! Naeema was kind and attentive to our 2-year-old dog. She worked with him on training, took him to the dog park, and gave him his eye medication twice a day. We so appreciate the care she gave him! Highly recommend!!”
About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Today, I care for my own dog and cat, giving me hands-on experience with different species and temperaments. From active play and training for dogs to gentle care for cats, I’m comfortable with oral medications, maintaining routines, and creating a stress-free environment for all pets. “I work Monday to Friday, but I’m fully available from Friday afternoons through the entire weekend. This gives me plenty of time to care for your pets, making sure they get all the attention, walks, and cuddles they deserve while you’re away.” In my home, pets are treated like family. I share my space with a gentle dog and a sweet cat, so your furry friend will always feel welcome and loved. I make sure every pet has a cozy spot to relax, plenty of affection, and safe playtime. Whether they enjoy snuggles, gentle walks, or quiet moments, I adapt to their needs so they feel at home while you’re away
About: I’ve cared for family pets, and I live with two cats. I’m loving, responsible, and treat every animal with patience, kindness, and genuine daily attention. I work full-time, but every morning I clean litter, refill food, and every evening I ensure fresh water, affection, and quality time with my cats. I visit clients’ homes to feed cats and dogs, clean litter boxes, provide fresh water, play, give affection, and ensure pets feel safe and loved.

She’s naturally compassionate and goes above and beyond, your dog couldn’t be in better hands!”

She is knowledgeable about feeding, waste management, exercise and play and having a comfy place for them to just hang out. She has owned multiple cats and dogs over the years and has recently taken in a cat who lost a hind leg. Because of her care this cat has come out of its shell and even warmed up to me. She is always thinking of ways to help her cat get up on the couch and the bed. She is a loving pet owner who will give your fur baby the care and attention it deserves.”

SOFIA K R.
“I am writing to recommend my friend Sofia as a responsible and caring person who is absolutely suited for looking after animals. In her home country, she had a cat of her own, and she always showed great commitment to its well-being. Whenever I traveled, she kindly helped me take care of my dog. She was reliable, attentive, and very loving with him. I always felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Sofia truly has a natural connection with animals and understands their needs. I have no doubt she will be an excellent caretaker for any pet.”

Samiyah did a great job watching my dogs, Debo and Sadie, while I was out of town from Thursday to Wednesday. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. She followed all instructions as requested and made sure both dogs were well cared for during my time away. I came home to everything in order and two well-looked-after dogs. Her professionalism and communication made the entire process smooth. I would definitely book Samiyah again and recommend her to anyone in need of a dependable and trustworthy sitter.
Abi is fantastic! She cared for our pets and home as if they were her own. She took our dog on a walk on the snowy forest trails everyday and sent us a pet update with photos each evening. She even offered to buy crickets for our lizard and left a really nice gift for our pup. The bed was stripped, blankets folded, and the house was tidy. You can't ask for a more perfect sitter.
