“Karolina was a wonderful dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog, Hank, and kept him happy and comfortable while we were away. It was clear she really cared about him, and that gave us a lot of peace of mind. When we got home, everything was clean and just as we left it—she even tidied up before heading out. We will definitely be using Karolina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“We had never left our pets before and Donna took great care of them, providing us with daily updates and pictures, which made us feel comfortable being gone. We will definitely use Rover again as long as Donna is available!”
“Jase was amazing with my dog!! It was my first time leaving her for more than 12 hours and I felt so safe leaving my dog with him over a weekend. He took my dog on a hike and sent me pictures which I really appreciated!”
“Daryia is the sweetest person ever!! She was amazing with our sweet dog and took such good care of him. Our dog is older and has a few heath issues and Daryia put so much thought and care into making sure he was okay. I can’t recommend Daryia enough!!”
“Highly recommend Shyla. Just as everyone else stated, she provides many many updates and ensures that she keeps you, the owner as comfortable as the fur baby. Georgie was well loved during our week away. I would definitely hire her again-no reservations. Thank you Shyla!”
“Nathaniel was great! He made sure that our two kittens were as comfortable as possible, even when it took several days for them to adjust to having a new person in the house. He communicated regularly, and everything was exactly as we left it when we got home from our trip.”
“Lily (Tiny) was awesome! Great communication, house was clean 🧼 and the pets were all relaxed. Our dog is 11.5years so to come home and find her so content meant allot. She even offered to help pack up the car when taking off for our trip, we ended up coming home earlier then expected due to poor weather conditions and the house was spotless! Highly recommended and will definitely continue to use in the future! 10 ⭐️”
“Lauren took such good care of my beagle and two cats. Left my home clean and was super responsive to all of my messages. It felt good knowing my babies were so loved and cared for while we were gone for nearly a week. I will not hesitate to work with Lauren again!!”
About: I have experience in vet med, so I will be able to keep a detail-oriented eye on your pet's health and wellbeing. If it comes to it, I can take your beloved companion to the vet clinic while you're out of town and see to any at-home care they need, no problem. I currently make my income entirely through app-based freelance work, making it easy to interweave schedules. I can check in on your pet, go out and work for 2-3 hours, then come back again. ADHD tendencies serve me well in this situation-- I can focus on a show, a book, or working on my laptop, while still being peripherally aware of what your pet is doing, and taking time to check in and give lots of scritches and belly-rubs. I live in a shared housing situation, so I have plenty of experience leaving an environment that is not my own exactly as I found it.
“Amber was wonderful! She asked a lot of great questions during the meet n greet, updated us every day while we were gone, and left our place even cleaner than we left it. Maple was well taken care of and we felt at ease with her in Amber’s care. We will definitely book with her again in the future, thank you Amber!!”
“From the moment I met Gillian, I knew that my senior kitty would be in good hands when I was away for a few days. She was so gentle, kind, and attentive towards him, and was more than happy to send me updates and pictures so I didn’t get anxious while away for so long. If I weren’t moving out of town in a few weeks, I would without a doubt book her again!”
“Alyssa is such an animal lover, and took excellent care of my anxious and dog reactive Great Dane. She communicated throughout the stay, and took great care of my house as well. I would highly recommend her services!”
“Mckale was awesome! We haven't left our dogs for a trip in a very long time and were apprehensive about leaving them for the holidays, but at our meet-and-greet, we instantly felt at ease with Mckale and so comfortable knowing she would take great care of our girls, that we had no worries about our trip. And that is the best feeling - knowing we could leave and that our dogs and home were in the best of care. She sent us daily updates with photos while we were gone, which were wonderful and so appreciated. I cant say enough great things about her. Even though this is our first time having her sit for us and the first time we met, it feels like we've known Mckale much longer. We so appreciate her staying with our dogs over the holidays. And, it feels like future travel plans are so much more possible now that we have someone so trustworthy, easy going, and awesome to look after our dogs. We wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend her, and will be reaching out in the future to see if she can dog sit for us again. Mckale - you are amazing, thank you!!!”

Welcome pet parents share their Rover experiences
McKale did a great job caring for our pets and our home during our trip. We were appreciative of the pictures and the check in's during her stay- she managed our pet's medications and dietary needs with ease. She is extremely flexible and worked with our schedule- would totally use her again and recommend her to others- Thank you so much McKale for allowing us the time to be away and not have to worry.
Mckale was such an excellent pet sitter. She took wonderful care of my herd if five, even fighting off two off leash pitbulls that attacked my dog while on a walk. Additionally, Mckale left my house spotless, weeded my yard and watered my plants. All items above and beyond expected service. Finally, Mckale helped me out with only a day's notice, allowing me to get to my mother's side before she passed away. No thanks are enough for that. Needless to say, Mckale has my highest recommendation.
