“Cassandra is a GEM. She arrived early for both our meet and greet and our first booking. My dog who’s an anxious guy and warmed to Cassandra immediately. Asked great questions and played with all Sammy’s puzzle tools. Can’t wait to book with Cassandra in the future! :) Thank you.”


“Giovanny was awesome! He was kind, respectful and communicative. He was great with our pup. He followed our instructions and our pup loved him. We were even running late to get back home on time and Gio stayed until we returned. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve spent over a decade in hospitality and operations, running shifts at places like Starbucks and a local beer lab, which basically means I’m used to juggling a hundred things at once while staying calm, warm, and on schedule. Turns out that’s great training for dog care too: reading personalities fast, sticking to routines, and making sure everyone (two legs or four) feels comfortable in a new environment. I’ve got a dog of my own, so I know the drill: the 6am zoomies, the separation anxiety whining, the food that “definitely doesn’t cause gas.” Whether your pup is a couch potato, a chaos gremlin, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like they’re already part of the household. Ten-plus years in hospitality means I’m used to following exact protocols and communicating clearly, and I apply that same discipline to pet care. Safety and consistency come first, in my home or yours. I keep a calm, predictable environment because cats do best with routine, so I stick to feeding times, litter maintenance, and any specific instructions you give me exactly as written, no improvising.
“Had a great experience with Brendan for our first time with Rover. He was easy to coordinate with, patient and kind with our dog, and was very communicative while watching her!”

“We LOVE having Kelsi watch our baby. Our doggy always wags his tail and runs to her. She spent so much time with him which we appreciated especially now that he’s a senior pup. Thanks again Kelsi!”


About: I started caring for dogs and cats when I was in middle school. Over the years, family friends, neighbors, and personal connections have trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, administering basic care, and providing plenty of love and attention, I always treat every pet as if they were my own. Spending time with animals is truly a joy, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am currently on my summer break from college and have open availability until the end of August! I am very flexible and always open to meeting your lovely animals! When I am in a clients home caring for their pet, my ultimate goal is keep their routine consistent and stress-free in order to encourage a comfortable environment while you’re away. All instructions provided will be carefully read, understood, and implemented! It’s important to acknowledge that every animal has their own unique personality and needs, requiring different levels of care, patience, and attention which I am happy to provide. Additionally, I understand the level of trust it takes to let someone into your home. I will ensure your home is treated with my utmost respect and is returned to exactly the way you left it! I can always provide photos of your pets or space if you would like.
“Cloe saved my trip when my original sitter plans backed out days before. She’s super quick to respond and I felt really confident in her care for Odin in my home while I was away. My mind was at ease.”

“Joel is a great pet and house sitter! He has taken care of our 98# Bernedoodle Ollie and 4 cats multiple times. He sent pictures almost every day, and even took one of our cats in for his blood draw and gave him medicine.”

“Sarah did a really great job and I can tell she loves animals! She kept me informed and put my mind at ease. We will definitely want to have her pet sit for us in the future!”

“Jordan did an excellent job watching our pup! We initially booked her for one day of house-sitting, but when our plans changed and we needed a second day, Jordan was ready to help us. We set up a meet and greet and Jordan was very communicative during the booking process. Throughout her sitting days, she kept us updated with texts and pictures of our pup and even did some household cleaning like doing some dishes and taking out the trash! We were impressed by Jordan's attention to detail and care for our pup, and we highly recommend her.”

“My girls were so comfortable with her! And Laura was super sweet and understanding when my apartment decided to stop working over the weekend (no hot water until Monday night and due to a power surge on Friday, no stove/oven).”


“We had an exceptional experience with Cathy as our pet sitter for our 9-week-old puppy, Oliver. Cathy demonstrated remarkable patience and skill in managing the typical challenges that come with caring for a young puppy, including the inevitable messes and playful antics often humorously referred to as 'puppy terrorism'. Her approach was not only professional but also infused with kindness and understanding, which made us feel extremely comfortable and assured in her care.In addition to her excellent pet care skills, Cathy's friendly and pleasant demeanor made her a joy to interact with. Her genuine affection for animals shines through in her work, making her an ideal choice for anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. We wholeheartedly recommend Cathy to other pet owners and are eagerly looking forward to booking her services again in the future.”

“Lauren is amazing! She stayed at our house with our dog and two cats for eight days. She truly loves and cares for animals, she was communicative, detailed and left our house in perfect condition.”

“Velvet is amazing! I rescued a pup off the streets yesterday and had an important appointment this morning. I booked Velvet late in the evening the night before, and she shifted her schedule to help me last minute and was wonderful with communication. Even more importantly, Velvet made this sweet rescue boy (again, fresh off the streets) feel calm, comfortable, and she even got him to snuggle with her! If she's this much of an dog whisperer with a fearful stray boy, I can only imagine the incredible care a beloved pet would receive. Thank you so incredibly much, Velvet! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you!”
“I would not hesitate to rebook dog sitting services with Elizabeth in the future. She is competent and caring, responsive and reliable. My pets seem quite healthy and happy. I’m very satisfied with Liza.”

“Jackson was amazing with our two dogs! They loved him. He was prepared, attentive, and easy to work with. I highly recommend him. He took great care of both of them while we were gone.”


About: I think what sets me apart from other sitters is my determination, admiration, and respect for all. I take all comments and concerns as a growing opportunity for my own experience and also to better the experience of your pets. I work graveyard 5 days a week, and I find myself wanting to detach and find comfort in another opportunity as well as keeping my original job. I am good with communication and will always find a way to work around my schedule, compromise, while also taking consideration of the owners schedule. I will first make sure your pet is comfortable with me in their presence and asking the owners about their personality and what the pets routine is throughout the day/night. I am a list person and will always make sure to check all the boxes as needed. While also developing a kind friendship with your pet.
About: I love love love all dogs! I enjoy playing, walking, and spending my day with them. Each dog is adorable and unique in their own way so I make sure to understand them, play with them, and make them feel really loved and special!! I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. Personally, I have had 3 different dogs. I have previously dog sat two dogs at their owner’s home. When I house sat, I walked the dogs separately 2-3 times a day, and stayed overnight at owner’s home. Please feel free to contact me for any further questions or information you may need!! ❤️ I look forward to dog sitting or walking your dog soon :) I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. I live alone and have more than enough space! I also live near a dog park. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Side
Elizabeth did an amazing job! This is the first time I’ve had a pet sitter. My cat had a wound and a cone and no one except my mom has ever watched my dog. So, I was a little nervous. But, Elizabeth’s sweet spirit put me at ease. She sent me pictures of my cat’s wound so I could see the progress and pictures of my dog when she walked him. She also sent additional periodic pictures and gave me updates. Elizabeth was very thorough and truly cared about doing the best job possible. My house was immaculate when I came home. Elizabeth truly went above and beyond and I’m so grateful for her!

We booked Brendan for our first long-term rover sitting and had a great experience! Our slightly neurotic and anxious dog was at ease with him in our home and it was so nice to know she was in good hands while we were away! We got lots of pictures daily and had great communication while we were away thanks to his quick response time. Our dog usually doesn't eat for a day after we leave, but I know she felt happy and safe with him because she never skipped a meal while she was with Brendan! Overall, our house sitting was a great experience and we'll definitely be recommending Brendan to our fellow pet parents 🙂↕️

Giovanny has been the most communicative sitter we’ve had so far on Rover! He was great with sending updates and sharing pictures of our dogs pretty much everyday day. He was also super reliable with our dog’s medication which is critical for his comfort. Our WiFi went down the day we left and all our security cameras went offline- Giovanny was kind enough to help us troubleshoot at the modem so we could get them back online.! I felt there was some opportunity with tidiness but nothing outside of what is acceptable. I do think he was very respectful and responsible with our home - we have already rebooked him for our next trip!

Hannah took exceptional care of our dogs once again. All of our dogs require medication, which she handles with ease. Additionally, she cooked special food for our dog when he had an upset stomach. She also took out our garbages and brought in packages for us. Highly recommend!

Joel was( great! He was responsive, communicative, and thoughtful with us humans. Most important, he was great with our silly pup. He also took good care of our home. We were able to have a great getaway because we knew our pet and our home were in good hands.
Jonathan was incredible. We booked him the week of using Rover and he stayed in our home and watched our two golden doodles that are four years old. He walked the girls multiple times a day and made sure that they were fed. It was very comforting to have someone staying in our home being with our dogs knowing that they had someone was very comforting. We are already looking to book Jonathan for our trip in October and would be happy to recommend him for any owner owners. He kept the home clean and tidy and sent us lots of cute photos!!

My dog took a liking to Ali right away! I did also and feel she genuinely cares and is knowledgeable about animals. She sent cute updates and was clear in her schedule and communication. She was respectful of my space and I felt at ease knowing my pet was in good hands.

I am reluctant to leave a review for Lauren as we will 100% use her services again in the future, but know a good review will make this harder in our future. But Lauren was/is awesome. We have a 200lb Great Dane and frequently travel where we need to house him for a couple days. In the past he has stopped eating which causes him to get anxious and 'hangry' and he's a mess when we get home. So we tried Rover and selected Lauren cause she has VetTech experience. She was wonderful with our pet AND even took him for daily walks which he loves but 200lbs is a lot when a squirrel crosses his path. Lauren is awesome and stayed over in our home for couple of days. Shows up on time and communicates expectations and daily status. Confidence with Lauren.
