“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”
“As always, Morgan took great care of our babies! If she’s available, Morgan is our go to. Her attitude and love of our fur babies is awesome and she always leaves the home completely squared away. We love Morgan!!!”
“Maria took care of our babies while we were abroad for about three weeks. She did a fantastic job and went above and beyond. Most importantly she loved our pets just as her own. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Ocie was AWESOME! She took the time to send me pictures and videos of my dogs. Nothing makes a trip better than to know my dogs were in excellent care. My dogs absolutely loved her as well. Will use her in the future.”
“This was the first time Morgan & Jahcarre watched our dogs. They came over for a meet and greet well in advance and then a quick refresher a couple of days before the trip. They were very responsive and understood the different personalities our dogs have. We will not hesitate to have them watch our dogs again.”
“This was our first time having Emma house sit with our two pups. She was fantastic! Everything went smoothly and we loved that she spent time with them, not just dropping in and out. We already have her booked for another job.”
“We had a wonderful, stress-free experience with Samantha during her week-long stay in our home. She took great care of our dog and he was completely himself when we returned. Our home was also well cared for and very clean when we returned. She kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, and we had peace of mind while traveling. Samantha is reliable, trustworthy, friendly, and professional. We would absolutely book her again!”
“Angela was very prompt, responsible, and communicative. I booked her a few weeks in advance, she came over once to meet my dog and get an idea of her routine. She then came back the day before my trip for a refresher. She took care of my dog exactly as we had discussed and sent regular pictures and updates while I was gone. My home was exactly as I left it when I got back. Would definitely use Angela again!”
“Briana was great! We had a special situation where our two pups just met and so they had to be separated during her visit. And both of them are anxious. Briana handled it perfectly and was so sweet to them. From the minute we met her we knew she’d be excellent with our pups. She is reliable, responsible, communicative and so sweet. She gave us so much peace of mind we were able to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely use her again. Highly Recommend!”
About: Hi there! I’ve spent over 9 years working as a veterinary technician at multiple animal hospitals, which gave me hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and needs — from playful puppies to gentle senior pets. I’m confident with everything from giving medications and handling special diets to providing extra snuggles and playtime. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family. I pay attention to the little details that make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, fun games for mental stimulation, or simply making sure your fur baby gets plenty of cuddles, I’ll make their comfort my top priority. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits during my midday break (9:30AM–2 PM) and evenings after 6:00PM. I’m also available on weekends for walks, playtime, or extended visits. My schedule is consistent, so you can count on me to provide reliable care around the same times each week. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority. With my 9+ years as a vet tech, I’m confident in handling pets of all ages, personalities, and needs — including administering medications, monitoring special diets, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I create a calm, loving environment where they’ll feel secure and cared for. I follow your pet’s normal routines closely, so they feel at ease and comfortable. You can also count on me for regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra playtime, or a little patience and encouragement, I’m happy to provide attentive care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while making sure each pet receives the attention and care they need. I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative so pet parents always know their furry family member is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and walking preferences. During walks, I remain attentive to my surroundings and keep pets securely leashed unless otherwise instructed in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I will respect your space, maintain your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away.
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the care Justine provided. From the beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and professional and we received regular updates and photos, which made being away so much easier. When we returned home, our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That says everything. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Just returned home from a trip where Kemmesha house and dog sat for me! She kept in communication with me during the duration of my trip! My girl, Koko, was well taken care of and in great spirits when I returned home! My house is in pristine condition, maybe even better than I left it! Kemmesha is responsible and such a gem to have as a dog sitter! Thank you so much for your care! Koko can’t wait to see you again!”
“Emily was amazing with Lux and Hazel! Hazel can be a handful and I often worry that the sitter won’t be able to handle all of her energy. Emily was perfect with her! Emily sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend. I will definitely use Emily again!!”
“Alina is amazing! She is attentive and provides frequent updates that are detailed. I highly recommend using her. One of my dogs had a vomit issue and she handled it so well! Alina is also very sweet. I will definitely be contacting her again for when I’m traveling.”
“This was our second time using Katie. We got great photos every day, she brought mail and packages in. She even did our recycling cans for us. House looked amazing when we got home, and we knew our dog and cat were well loved.”
Wellington pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our second time asking Mel to watch our two boys, and once again she was fantastic. She is wonderful with them, especially since one of our pups is usually shy and takes some time to warm up to new people or even people they’ve met before. Both of them absolutely love her and connected with her right away. Mel kept us updated daily with photos and videos, and she always shared how they were doing, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and will definitely be reaching out to her again for future trips. Highly recommend!
Erica is fantastic! She is very professional. Showed up at the time we needed her, was kind to our dogs, was very communicative with us throughout the time she was dog sitting/house sitting for us. We really appreciated getting pictures and updates, as we don't leave our dogs often and miss them when we are away! She left the house in perfect condition and the dogs were clearly well cared for. Happy to have found Erica and would definitely book her again!
Liz was a fantastic sitter for our Lily. She committed to periodic visits prior to our booking to allow Lily to get used to her. While away, Liz sent us regular updates and photos. We will definitely engage Liz for future services and absolutely recommend her to others.
Jayla took great care of our dog and cat, and our house, when she stayed with them while we were out of town. She reached out with updates and questions, sent photos, and left our house cleaner than we left it. We'll absolutely be using Jayla again when we travel!
Gabrielle housesat for me and my golden retriever Dora for a week. She was wonderful with Dora. She handled Dora's medication and dietary restrictions with no problem. Every picture Gabrielle sent throughout the week showed Dora happy and healthy on her walks and getting her snuggles. Gabrielle was also an excellent house guest, leaving the house clean and tidy. She even watered my plants and vacuumed up copious amounts of dog hair so I didn't have to come home to that! She was very communicative and checked in with me in regularly or if anything was out of the ordinary. I would definitely use Gabrielle again and highly recommend her!
Becca housesat for us & looked after our 2 pups. She kept us updated regularly and was quick to respond to any of our questions. This was our first time having the dogs housesat (vs dropping them off with a dog-sitter), and everything went well. She followed through with our instructions and took good care & was very respectful of our home too.
