“Wow, my fur babies love their new friend, and so do I. Alexandra did a great job with our 2 pets. She followed instructions without a problem, and kept us informed with pictures. I would not only recommend her, but I will have her back as needed.”
“Grant took terrific care of our pups over an erratic travel week for us including a last minute booking! Very responsive and responsible as well as outstanding communication!”
“This is the first time we have used a dog sitter. Previously we had always used relatives to watch our dogs. Since we moved that was not an option. Tamara did a fantastic job taking care of our shy dog. She was able to gain Mia’s trust very quickly. I would definitely use her in the future and would highly recommend her.”
“Kory did an amazing job, she took great care of the dogs and they loved her. She took lots of pictures and took great care of them while we were gone. Thanks again”
“Rebecca is a great caregiver. She’s taken care of our 4 XL bullies twice now and has done an amazing job! 💕 Each time we come home, Our house is as it was when we left it which is an amazing feeling. Not all of our sitters have done that in the past. She sends us photos regularly & I am confident that she does what she says & we are able to appreciate our time away. Thank you & we recommend Rebecca ☺️”

“Olivia was great! Our dogs and cat were cared for and they seemed very happy to see her through out the day. When we returned home the animals looked happy and healthy. My plants also looked happy!”
“Lois was just what we needed. First time Rover user and I was nervous. Lois answered all of my many questions. Listened to all of my many concerns. Lois understood what we needed before the sit and provided the care that I needed for our fur family. She sat the dogs for 1 week. When we returned home our dogs were happy and relaxed and our home was just as we left it. Because of the attention to detail Lois provided before the sit I was actually very comfortable using Rover. I was not nervous while we were on vacation. Lois is a great dog/house sitter.”
“Lillian was great. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos. Dunkin really likes it when she comes over - even though he knows Mom and Dad are leaving for a few days. I will definitely be using Lillian again in the future.”
“My fur-babies were never treated so well! They adore Amanda and we will book her again!”
“Ruth is amazing. She came last minute when the dog sitter did not show. You can see she really loves and cares for animals. She stayed overnight at my house and made us all feel comfortable.”
About: I’ve been working with animals for 13 years! I just moved here to Florida, but prior to that I’ve been a veterinary technician an emergency veterinarian hospital in Ohio. I have experience all over the animal world including shelter and emergency. I LOVE taking pictures dogs (as you can see in my photos). I have no doubt that I will be your pets new best friend! Just looking to spend my spare time from school and work to hangout with your pets when you need! Looking forward to meeting new furry friends while I’m here! The same way I do for my dog, I like to take multiple walks per day, play in a fenced in yard (if weather permits)! I enjoy lots of time outside so going for long walks and being active outside with your pup is very important!
“Emily was fantastic! This was our 1st time leaving Theo with someone other than family and we were very nervous. Theo became best friends with Emily I know he enjoyed her staying with him very much. She was fantastic at communicating with us. I will definitely call Emily again to come stay with him. P.s I think he misses her 🙂”
“Kia is amazing. Communication is fantastic. She sends lots of pictures and updates me often. She is my go to and will be booking with her whenever I’m in need!!”
“Lucas was the perfect first experience to have with Rover. He was very responsive with us and sent pictures of our dogs daily, which we appreciated! He kept our house clean and left it just as we left it. He also made sure that our dogs stayed within their daily routine. We highly recommend Lucas!!”
“Kristalyn was absolutely amazing and attentive to my two handsome boys! Always kept me in the loop and sent adorable daily photos. I felt completely at ease with Kristalyn and 10/10 will always recommend!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid. Growing up, I had two dogs, two cats and a hamster. Additionally, I would dog sit for neighbors. I’ve been around puppies, administered medication and I love walking! I have plenty of time to take care of your pups as I am working part-time at the moment! I am available everyday and willing to adjust my schedule. I am quite experienced with dogs and I have to confidence to care for them in any way you want. If there are special circumstances I will 100% honor them!
“We couldn’t be more grateful to have found Reagan! From the moment we met, it was clear our dog was in kind and capable hands. Reagan treated our pup like family—sending regular updates, photos, and making sure all our instructions were followed perfectly. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for dog. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Reagan was providing her such loving care. We’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend Reagan to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, and truly caring pet care.”
“We felt really good about Shayne from the moment we met her, and our little dog Zeke did too. He immediately wanted to be picked up and his tail wagged like crazy. We could tell she genuinely loves animals. Shayne took such good care of him while we were away, and made sure he had his special toy in his bed at night. He got lots of attention, and was his usual happy self when we got home. Shayne followed our instructions for Zeke, and our home was kept clean and tidy. We’re so happy we found her on Rover, and will definitely ask for her again, the next time we need a pet sitter for Zeke.”
“Aramie was great with my 2 pets. They were well loved amen care of for our 15 days away. I would highly recommend Aramie, she keeps you informed and is trustworthy. I cannot thank her enough for giving me a piece of mind while out of the country.”

Samantha A.Star Sitter
“You ever try and go on vacation.... get everything booked... and then go "Crap, who can watch the cat and dog".... If you are like me, you can never go on vacation because you can never find the right person to be able to stay behind and care for pets. I had a couple of people in our neighborhood recommend Samantha to me and she has been a lifesaver! She watched my dog and kitten while the family and I were away to Disney World, we were gone for almost 2 weeks and came back to what seemed a happier dog than we had left. She walked him 3 times a day, kept up on his meds, and even got him a toy! Sam is always there to help at a drop of a dime, and I wish that she had a business card. I would make sure everyone that has dogs gets her card!”

West Melbourne pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emily and Evan did a fantastic job with our dog and cat. They go above and beyond and that is rare these days. Would definitely use them again!
Reagan was great with our aging pup. She remembered all details & was very responsive to check-ins. She sent regular pictures and made us feel very comfortable about being away. She even offered to help us out when we had unexpected flight delays. I highly recommend her.
Emily was absolutely wonderful! She kept in touch with us the entire time, sending adorable pictures of our baby girls (dogs), which gave us such peace of mind. She went above and beyond—watering our plants, collecting the mail, and making sure everything at home was just as we left it. The house was spotless, and our girls were thrilled to have such a kind and caring sitter. I will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy, thoughtful, and attentive pet sitter!
Lois was a fabulous dog sitter. She took great care of our dogs - Marley, Stevie and Olaf. Lois would take pictures of our furbabies and send them to us daily keeping us updated on how things were going. The dogs loved her and she made me feel extremely comfortable that our dogs were well taken care of. I would definitely hire her again!
Kia was great with my pups. I highly recommend her. She sent pictures and communicated with me. I felt comfortable with my pups being in her care.
Sophia is a trustworthy dog sitter who we’ve used multiple times. I highly recommend that you reach out to Sophia on your next house sitting needs. We have three different breeds and she is good with all of them. Thank you for staying in our home.
I was very happy with Shayne! She was prompt, kept us up-to-date, and spent tons of time with our standard poodle. Many house sitters are out most of the day but not Shayne. She was there most of the day which was great for our pup who suffers from separation anxiety. I will definitely use Shayne again.
Corie was an amazing dog sitter! She was very professional and took great care of our puppy. She was communicative and sent great updates while we were away. In addition, she was flexible with our travel plans and made the entire process easy. 10/10 would recommend Corie.
Our first time using Rover and having a stranger in our house, and we could not have asked for a better experience! We are so happy that we picked Jeff to watch our puppy Ozzy! Ozzy is a 62lb, 9 month old English Setter, so we wanted to make sure we hired someone caring yet strong enough to handle him when he pulled on the leash. Jeff fit the bill perfectly — he stayed in our house overnight in our guest bedroom and was the best sitter. He came over to meet us and Ozzy before his stay and asked a ton of questions to learn more about Ozzy, how to best care for him, and his habits. Jeff also talked about himself which let us get to know him better and feel more comfortable with him in our home. During his stay, Jeff provided a bunch of pictures and updates of Ozzy which also eased my anxieties. Jeff made me a believer in Rover and we will definitely be booking him again.
Genesis pet sit for us for 11 days and did an outstanding job! She is a kind and caring. She took the time to meet my husband and I prior to our booking and to interact with our dog to ensure it was a good fit for all of us. She also took the time to return just prior to our trip to review all the home, pet, and trip details and ensure everything was set. Genesis exceeded our expectations, taking excellent care of everything, including our dog and our home! We would not hesitate to ask her again or to recommend her to others.
Judi was an amazing caregiver for our 3 puppies on an overnight stay. She asked lots of great questions to make sure exactly what each one needed, wanted or did not want or like. She played ball with them (which is the best thing ever for 2 of our dogs and will enshrine her in our dogs BFF club), got our picky eater Riley James to eat, made friends with Miki Moo who is a bit standoffish at first, and gave Skyler, our older dog lots of loves and snuggles. We even got pictures while we were away. She is a gem, and I highly recommend her for any needs you have for pet sitting, visiting, walking or any other pet needs you might have. We give her Ten PAWS Up!!! Way up!
Shannon was a great pet sitter! She was active with Ellie, taking her for walks and playing with her indoors, I'm sure Ellie loved her. She's a really good communicator with us and left our home in perfect condition. We look forward to having her again in a couple months.
