“Wonderful experience having Alex and Christine house sit and take care of our little dog. They did a great job, sent messages every day and pictures knowing that we missed our sweet companion. Highly recommend them, you will not be sorry.”
“Nicholas was caring, professional, stayed in touch during our trip and took excellent care of our dog and our home. Our dog was well adjusted when we returned home.”
“Porter is EXCEPTIONAL! Pebbles ADORES him! I read on here that he was very dependable (which was the biggest thing I was looking for). My experience with him was that he’s very dependable, he’s very dedicated to my pet’s care and safety, he kept my home clean, and I came home to a very happy pet. I could tell she had so much fun with him! I could not have asked for a more positive experience. Thank you, Porter!”
“Wow! This was our first experience with Rover and we were very fortunate to find Jeremy. Everything about the experience was first class. I highly recommend Jeremy, but I selfishly do so with caution. Everyone will want to hire him and he won’t be available for us next time. Definitely a 5 star experience. Jeremy was prompt, communicative, respectful, attentive to our requests, also to the animals, and flexible in his schedule. Thank you Jeremy.”
“Alexandria was a phenomenal pet sitter! We felt completely at ease and were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our animals were in such good hands. She cared for them as if they were her own—attentive, playful, and always keeping our dog company. It’s clear our pets love her and feel comfortable around her. We’ll absolutely hire her again for any future travel!”
About: Hello, I'm Angela and I have been a dog and animal lover my whole life. I have watched dogs for family and neighbors for many years. My background is in psychology and I've definitely used that knowledge in understanding my own dogs and those I take care of. I'm currently undergoing a career change, so I have plenty of time on both weekdays and weekends to watch and play with your furry family members. I try to keep my availability as up-to-date as possible within the limited settings Rover has. I am adaptable to any routine that your pet is used to, such as feeding times and walks. I am familiar with rescues and the variability in their behavior and comfort with new people.
“This was my first time using Rover, and the entire process was simple - and Max did a great job with our 4 pets! He scheduled time to meet us beforehand, and his communication and availability were great. Our dogs are high-energy and our cats have special diets, but Max took care of them without issue. He sent great pictures and we did not have a worry while we were away :)”
“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“Heather is AMAZING! We have a VERY anxious 65 pound senior dog that doesn't like most people. The exception being, Heather. Our girl absolutely loves her and its such a relief to know she is in good hands.”
“Lesley was a life saver! We have 2 dogs, a cat, 2 mini donkeys, and a horse and she cared for all of them while we were gone. She even sent pictures of our babies which I love receiving while away from them. She gave them lots of cuddles and love; even if the cat may have forced her to cuddle more than anticipated 😅 we will definitely be reaching out to Lesley again whenever we need someone we can trust to watch our four legged babies!”
“Perri was wonderful with my dog Mac! She was really professional, sent lots of photos and updated a lot! I would definitely recommend her and will be asking her to watch my dog again.”
“Tori took great care of our 2 dogs and 3 cats (plus a stray kitty staying with us!) she was flexible and communicative - we are so grateful for her taking on the care of our chaotic household.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Tea. She has watched Winston and Monkey multiple times now, and I always feel completely at ease leaving them in her care. She is dependable, kind, and clearly loves animals, my pets are always relaxed and happy when I get home, which says everything. I especially appreciate the updates and photos while I am away. It is clear that Winston and Monkey are getting not just the basics, but real attention and affection. Whether it is sticking to their routines or just spending time with them, I know they are in good hands. If you are looking for someone you can truly trust with your pets, I would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends most of my life, but especially in the last 6 years. I’ve become the go-to person to care for friends’ pets and feel comfortable following detailed care instructions. My aim is to provide peace of mind while you are away from your beloved pet(s). My seasonal job allows me to spend all day with my pets and I believe a tired dog is a happy dog. That means long walks, lots of playtime, and reinforcement of their training. For cats, a routine is key and I love getting to see their personalities come out as I gain their trust. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex. I enjoy taking my dog for long walks in the neighborhood and bringing him to nearby parks for a change of scenery.
“Lawton did a fantastic job watching our dogs. They were happy when we returned and well taken care of. She took them on numerous walks/hikes, played fetch in the yard, and gave our elderly dog extra attention. She took great care of our home as well. She sent daily updates as well Would highly recommend her and plan to use her again”
About: I’ve worked at Banfield pet hospital in different states, expanding my knowledge of different species from different regions. My grandmother owned a grooming business when I was a little rascal, which allowed me to be around fluffy friends all day. I work a typical day shift so my home is up and active by 6:30am every weekday and we’re on a walk before I head off to work. Evenings consist of walks before and after dinner. I allow animals to roam home as a part of their natural curiosity. I’ll have very deep conversations with my furry friends because I know for a fact they understand me, just as I do them. I enjoy walking around the neighborhood and, on average, I bike 10 miles a day to stay in top shape.
“Emily was very responsible and sweet with our dog, Daisy. She has a busy schedule, but was able to work around that to take care of Daisy while she stayed at our home. We enjoyed having Emily dog- and house-sit, and will be asking her back when we have those needs in the future.”
About: Our family of five loves dogs! We have raised two rescue dogs from puppyhood into their senior years. We help family and friends to walk, feed and take care of their pets while they are away. We have young children who are comfortable around dogs and love to help out! We love spending time with animals and are an active family. We will treat your dog as if it’s our own. We have a large yard and love taking pets on walks. Pets are family and we look forward to spending time playing, petting and taking care of your pet just like they’re family! We raised two rescue dogs that recently passed at age 14 due to old age. Our family misses having pets around and look forward to loving up on your pets. We work from home and have flexible schedules so we have plenty of time to take your dog on breaks throughout the day. We live in a 2700 square foot ranch home and your dog will have access to every room. We enjoy walking dogs and have leashes and plenty of dog toys in our home. Pets are family! They will get lots of pets and walks and be part of our everyday life while they’re home with us whether it’s for a day or the week. Your dog is welcome anywhere in our home and allowed on furniture but we prefer them not to sleep in the bed. We do not have a fenced yard, but we can ensure all members of our household will keep doors closed and secure. We have two crates available in our home.
“Brittney always takes wonderful care of our pups!!! I feel so at ease knowing that they are in such good hands. We have used her for both drop in visits and house sitting. She is reliable and professional. And she genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs! I couldn’t ask for more.”
Westwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Courtney is a wonderful dog and house sitter. I knew as soon as she met our senior dog Chase that she was a good fit for him. Courtney is very gentle and mindful of Chase’s limitations at 18. Calm and gentle is what Chase needs, and Courtney is a great fit for him. She did a great job of giving him his medication and feeding him what he would eat. Chase is a very finicky eater, and we were not surprised when she messaged us that he had not eaten much in the morning. We very much appreciated Courtney’s detailed information about his food and medication intake while we were gone. We would definitely have Courtney watch our home and Chase again.
We have loved having Evie over for our animals twice now! She was wonderful in keeping us updated on the pets and being attentive with their needs. She loves on them the way they deserve and is very responsive and dependable. We have really appreciated her professionalism and our dogs have seemed so happy and well taken care of when we get home. 🩷
Abby took great care of my German Shepherd and my cat while I was out of town for several days. She kept me updated to everything going on with the pets and in the house, and I came home to calm, happy pets and a clean house with trash taken out and bedding already in the washer. Thanks, Abby!
Danica seemed comfortable with caring for two dogs, one being a puppy with us for just a month. I did leave detailed instructions to help with recall of verbal directions given at our meet and greet. Most directions were followed, as far as I could deduct. However, she did not use their food bowls to give them their food, as written in the reminder notes. The bowls had labeled dry food with treats for bedtime and a spoon for mixing with the refrigerated food. However, she fed them without the bowls and without mixing dry and cold foods. That was a puzzlement to me.
