“It is really hard entrusting your furkids to someone you don't know since this was the first time using Ryan to stay with our senior & a puppy. Overall, communication was great, doggies well cared for and Ryan went above and beyond getting a stain out of the carpet. We wouldn't hesitate using him again to sit.”
“Dyllan has a quiet and calm demeanor which I feel is ideal for anxious dogs like ours. Our dog was comfortable with her right away. Dyllan is responsive and a good communicator. Dyllan was engaged while receiving information about our dog and home. She used that information to try and maintain our dog's routine which we all know is a great way to keep pets comfortable while their family is away. Dyllan has not shown anything other than being worthy of trust. I recommend Dyllan and would be fortunate to have her stay again.”
“Mark was amazing with Kona and Aladdin while we were away for an extended weekend getaway. He sent lots of photos and kept us informed of everything. Couldn't ask for a better sitter and great guy overall!!!”
“Nicest guy ever! He kept us in the loop with multiple updates with pictures daily. He even included our rats! He watered our grass too! Absolutely will use him again. Our little puppy LOVED him. Your furry family members are definitely in good hands with Aaron!”
“Micheal was very communicative, checked in, sent pictures and took good care of our dogs. We are so grateful since we were away for a funeral and we did not have to worry about our animals the whole time.”
“Look no further! Cynthia is caring, thorough, communicative, and attentive. Ahead of our meet and greet, she sent me a list of excellent questions and topics for us to discuss that would help inform her stay at our home and care of our two dogs. She didn't bat an eye at my detailed list of information and our dog's needs. In conjunction with her lovely disposition, genuine care for animals, she was a fantastic communicator while we were away, and even kept tabs on our fish and cared for my flowers. She left our house incredibly clean and was such a blessing during our two weeks away - which is a long time to leave your fur babies! I feel so fortunate to have found her and am grateful for her care and extraordinary flexibility when I realized I had booked the wrong end date! Thank you, Cynthia!”
“I have never left my dog with anyone before and Phedre made the whole experience so easy and comfortable. She ended up watching 3 dogs this first time and I never had to worry. We got photos at least once a day and updates on what the dogs were doing. I will be asking Phedre to watch my dogs whenever I need to in the future with no question! I couldn’t recommend her enough. 10/10”
“Shannon came to care for my fur babies with such short notice, she was here on time, my dogs immediately bonded with her, kept me informed with pictures and texts. I truly appreciate her.”
“Brooke was absolutely fabulous. It was our first time leaving our dog with someone he wasn’t familiar with & he looked so happy in all the photos & videos. Not only did Brooke have to deal with an energetic pup, but also a remodel. She was so helpful through it all! I would highly, highly recommend her!”
“If we could give Brooke and Dylan more than 5 stars we would. They went above and beyond for our puppy Knox. They sent us daily updates and photos and even left a journal of his walks, feeding times, and potty breaks. We never worried once while we were gone and knew he was well taken care of. We will definitely be using them again!!”
“As before Danielle did a very good job of hanging out with our dogs. They had been well fed and taken care of. She also took care of everything I requested around the home. I know I’ve said it before but thank you Danielle for giving us this time to get away.”
“Wow! Allison is the “happy pets, happy life” kind of sitter. Need I say more?! Our two Chihuahuas were as happy as could be in the daily photos where they were happily interacting and then resting together. The feedback report meant so much too. We could rest easy knowing they were in such great care.”
“Sophie was enamored with Emily at their 1st meeting. Emily took great care of my high energy girl and kept me updated daily. Sophie was happy and calm when I got home. Emily left the house very clean too. I will definitely book her again.”
“Deb was wonderful! She took extra special and individualized care of our two very different pups and just went above and beyond in general. The daily updates with pictures helped us to know our dogs were in great hands!”
“Renee was spectacular with my cat, Sunny! I am the type of person who struggles greatly leaving my animals for any amount of time. Luckily I found a gem in Renee, who stayed at my house for 2 weeks and took the absolute best care of my cat, my yard, and my home. She watered my grass, my garden boxes, planter boxes; took my trash bins out twice for pickup; collected my mail. Renee also took amazing care of my cat, Sunny. Even though I missed my girl while I was gone, I honestly never worried about her care or wellbeing because I know she was in good, mature hands. Renee communicated with me every day and sent pictures and videos of Sunny playing with toys, going for walks on her leash and harness, and sleeping on her lap. Upon my arrival home, Renee had left me a letter about her stay, laundered bed sheets and towels, and cleaned the house very well. There’s nothing better than coming back from a long trip to a very happy, content cat and a clean home. Thank you, Renee!”
“Xavier was great with our girls. He took them each for walks, played outside with them, and took them for trips to the dog park while we were away for the weekend. There were constant updates & great communication. Our girls loved their time with him.”
About: Having grown up with a variety of pets myself (growing up sort of on a farm in the country), I have over 20 years of dedication pet care experience. I have also had 10 years of experience pet sitting for cats/dogs/chickens/ you name it! From playful puppies to senior cats, I ensure all pets in my care feel loved and safe. Whether I am administering detailed medical regiments or following specialized diets, I take care to deliver the best service to owners and families while they are away from their four-legged family members. I am playful, fun, gentle, and nurturing. My approach combines plenty of walks, cuddles, and play time! I work full time but am finished with my work day on Wednesdays and Fridays by 3pm, and Tuesdays by 4pm. I am available weekends and love being active with pets who love to walk/run or chill at home with pets with lower energy. I make sure to keep to a pet’s routine when you are away as it can be stressful for them to not have their primary person there! I adapt to their schedule. I follow their lead: if they are feeling anxious or aloof I never force myself because I want to ensure they feel safe and cared for.

Christina D.
“Christy is very responsible and keeps to the schedule required. She goes above and beyond with the dogs she takes care of. She walks them often, plays with them inside and out, and has a good rapport with all the dogs she's taken care of. She's good with following directions of the owners and is very affectionate with dogs. I have taken advantage of her services many times in her former hometown and know that she was the coveted dog sitter for many people, as well as the favorite of the dogs themselves. They went nuts when she came to stay. Christy will be the favorite again where she's moved to (she was very sorry to move away from her clients and their dogs). She loves big dogs especially, but is exceptional with the the littles as well. Christy brings the best out in every dog she's met. She comes highly recommended!”
West Bench pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had the pleasure of leaving my two rescue dogs with Dani for a short stay, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! As a first-time Rover user, we were a bit nervous, but Dani immediately put our minds at ease during our meet and greet. She has an incredible understanding of dog behavior, and it was clear she was patient and gentle with our dogs, who both have their quirks. Dani took the time to get to know them and made sure they felt comfortable and safe. Throughout the stay, she communicated regularly, sending us pictures and updates, which reassured me they were in great hands. We highly recommend Dani, and we will definitely be booking her again in the future!
Allison was great with our somewhat high-needs pups. We have one senior dog and one dog currently going through heartworm treatment. She was a very clear communicator and always checked to make sure she understood their medications and routines. She took initiative and had a list of information that she needed in order to best take care of our pups instead of just leaving it to us to try to think of what would be helpful to know. She set communication expectations up front by letting us know that she would send one update a day in the evening. I really appreciated this so that I wouldn't have to wonder if/when we would hear from her. Our dogs seemed very happy and content when we got home and our house was very neat and clean! We would not hesitate to book with her again in the future.
Cora took an absolute last-minute booking for me when another sitter on Rover cancelled an hour before the sitting was to start. She came in and handled things like a pro, spent the week with my dog, and sent me periodic updates. I unfortunately had already flown out and landed before I figured out that the old sitter cancelled with no communication, so Cora and I did not get a chance to meet or walk through the house; however, she asked questions where needed and we discussed via text. Cora truly came through and made a horrifically distressing situation where my dog was at home alone with no sitter, one that was worry-free. Thank you again Cora!!!
It is really hard entrusting your furkids to someone you don't know since this was the first time using Ryan to stay with our senior & a puppy. Overall, communication was great, doggies well cared for and Ryan went above and beyond getting a stain out of the carpet. We wouldn't hesitate using him again to sit.
Theo was amazing with our 2 dogs. We had to go on a last minute trip and they were super quick with their response and meet and greet. Super kind and friendly, I would recommend Theo for all your animal watching needs! We will definitely be using them again! Thank you!
Alexandra is the best pet and house sitter we could ever ask for. She leaves our home in better condition than we left it every time she is here. She is punctual and so attentive to our animals needs. She consistently updates me without being asked to do so. She leaves the sweetest notes and makes us feel so comfortable having her in our home.
We are so grateful we booked Brooke and Dylan for our 8 night, 9 day trip! We were super impressed right from our meet and greet at how attentive they were to our dogs' routines, preferences and info about their personalities. They both have such nurturing personalities and they took excellent care of our dogs, sending frequent updates and pictures. Our senior dog requires special care and both dogs often go through separation anxiety, but because they spent so much time with them, it really helped the dogs relax and gave us great peace of mind as well. We returned and our house was tidy and the dogs were happy. We give them our highest recommendation for your pet sitting needs!
This was the first time away from our dog so I was a bit nervous. Ayla touched base prior and was sure to get all the important information. She responded quickly when I inquired about updates. We could tell she was very respectful of our home while we were away but most importantly our dog is her normal silly self and settled back into her routine quickly which is indicactive of the wonderful care she received. We would definitely recommend Ayla.
I can see why Adri has so many repeat clients!! Our pup was taken care of to the fullest. Our pup is 15 years old and kind of needy sometimes. I always worry she’s too much for others to take care of with having past medical issues like a bad back, arthritis in both front legs and she’s starting to go deaf. I never once was worried about a thing cause we got multiple updates with so many cute pictures and stories!! Adri was timely, took notes and went above and beyond!! And a bonus, Adri cleaned up after everything so much so I didn’t have to do a thing to the house. Helped me tremendously since we got home so late ❤️ I didn’t expect it and I truly appreciated all the effort and help Adri provided. 10 out of 10- highly, highly, highly recommend!! Thank you, Adri!! You were wonderful!!
Michael & Silvia did a wonderful job sitting for our two foster dogs!!! We were a little nervous to leave them for 2 weeks because we've had some not-so-great experiences with Rover sitters in the past (i.e. not following care instructions, leaving the dogs for long periods, coming home to stressed dogs, pee on the rugs, etc.) but we didn't have any issues at all this time. Silvia was responsive, provided consistent updates, photos, daily walks, followed care instructions, and the pups were happy and relaxed when returned home 🤗❤️ Thanks so much Silvia and Michael!
