“Anthony is the perfect dog sitter Piper feels totally relaxed and is happy to spend time with him. I highly recommend him and will book him in the future.”
“Melinda took excellent care of our pets and home. She was communicative, dependable, and very accommodating when our plans unexpectedly changed. She even gave our cat, Tiger, her inhaler without any issues—something we were a bit nervous about, but she handled it with ease. We felt completely confident leaving everything in her hands. We'd absolutely work with her again.”
“Jeff is great! Very easy going in all things, except when it comes to the well being of your pet. His attention to detail there is above and beyond! Took care of my pup like a member of the family, would trust him any day to provide the best for her. Will absolutely book again.”
“Heather is perhaps the most attentive sitter that we have had for Lily. I appreciate how often she gets her out of the house to be able to run around on the property to get some exercise. It’s great that she gets as much playtime as she did especially on good days. The place was kept clean. Heather did have to leave for a few hours every day which she had asked permission in advance and that worked out just fine. Her communication was excellent and I always appreciate getting updates and pictures of Lily. I would have no problem recommending Heather to sit your pet.”
“Fantastic sitter, my dogs immediately loved her and she took excellent care of them and our home. Our dogs have high needs, pill regimens, and are aggressive towards other dogs and she handled all of it so well!”
“If you want a genuinely lovely human being who loves animals looking after your fur babies, look no further. I highly recommend Claire!! You won't regret it.”
“Brigit is the gem I was looking for. My dog is very sweet but shy and I've had some bad experiences with sitters who expect a happy-go-lucky-tail-wagging pup. Brigit immediately understood Blondie and her needs and appreciated and cared for her in the same way I do. She was very communicative and shared photos everyday. Highly recommend!”
“Kristen was a thorough and prompt communicator and awesome with our critters! Our anxious dog and cat warmed up to her quickly and she was able to navigate a troublesome toilet issue while we were gone. She is great and we appreciated her house sitting!”
“Rosanna was absolutely amazing to work with. I had a lot of anxiety leaving Bella alone but Rosanna provided updates every check in. She was an absolute joy to work with and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Karen was an incredible dogsitter and we feel luck to have found her! She was communicative, great with our high-energy dog and took good care of our home. We look forward to Karen dogsitting in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Shad was amazing! My dog was immediately at ease around him and I could tell he was well cared for while I was away. Great updates and communication throughout from Shad which is always appreciated. Will definitely book again!”
About: Beyond the care of my own pets, I also regularly house, dog, cat, and chicken-sit for family friends and neighbors. I've spent my whole life around animals and have nurtured and cared for a variety of pets, including guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and fish. I graduated in June of this year, so I have more day-time availability this summer, however I do work a part-time job. My shifts at my job are 4 to 10 hours, 3 to 4 days a week, and Fridays and Tuesdays tend to be my most available days. I am open to any rules or directions you have for your pet. I have a deep respect for all animals and will love and care for them. As a pet-caregiver myself, I understand the bond between you and your pet and the protecting feeling that comes with it. I will do all I can to make sure you feel your pet is in good hands.
“Cedric was great! Communicative, understanding when our grumpy anxious senior dog barked a bit at their arrival, and took good care of our buddy and home. We’d love to book them again!”
“Alice was great with my animals and my home. She is so kind and thoughtful, and my animals really felt at ease with her! Thanks Alice. Will definitely book with Alice the next time I need a sitter!”
“Katherine is truly a gem. She took care of my wild puppy and sweet senior dog like an absolute pro—and trust me, that’s no easy feat. From the moment she stepped in, I knew they were in the best hands. She kept me updated with adorable photos and thoughtful, thorough texts, so I never had to worry. They even went on fun little adventures together! It made me so happy to know they were getting more than a sitter, but truly a dog person who cares. When I got home, not only was the house spotless, but she had washed and made my bed with clean sheets—like, who does that?! Above and beyond in every way. But beyond being an incredible pet sitter, Katherine is just… cool. Like, genuinely someone you’d want to hang out with. I honestly want to be her friend. Can’t recommend her enough! Will absolutely be rebooking in the future and am eternally grateful for her help!”
“This is my first time using Rover and we were looking for an overnight sitter for mainly my little Genee girl who has never not had family around her. Anika filled that gap for us and did an amazing job. She put up with all my messages and provided pictures of Genee on walks and playing. She even included pics of the cat lounging around as usual. I was worried about leaving Genee for the first time but Anika made it much easier for me! I would highly recommend her and I will be calling upon her again when we need a sitter!”
“Our original housesitting plans fell through at the last minute and we were leaving for the airport in a couple hours. Tiffiny was quick to respond and come meet our puppy. She was very flexible and took excellent care of our pup and our house, greatly relieving our stress and anxiety. Levi loved playing with Tiffiny and her daughter! We highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again.”
“I was worried about leaving my cat for the first time, but Erin took great care of him! I received regular updates and pictures, and the apartment was spotless. Thank you so much ☺️”
“Catherine did an exceptional job caring for my puppy, Ruby, while I was gone. She took Ruby to the park, played with her in the yard and had hang out cuddle time. Ruby and the house were in great shape when I returned. Thanks, Catherine!”
“Tiana was absolutely amazing while I was gone in Vegas! She took great care of my cat and updated me constantly along with checking on him multiple times throughout the day. She even cleaned up which was really sweet of her. 10/10 would recommend her as a petsitter if you ever need one at all. Thank you Tiana!!”

Wilkes pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brianna was awesome! She came through last minute and spent a week at my home with my two dogs. She sent updates daily and my pups were happy when I got home. The house was immaculate. She’s emptied the trash, washed the pee pads and brought the mail in. I would definitely recommend and use Brianna again.
I felt very comfortable leaving our cat and three dogs in the capable, caring hands of Karen. She provided excellent care, followed complicated feeding and medication instructions, and sent frequent updates. I would not hesitate to have her back, and in fact have already booked her for additional sits. I highly recommend her!
Samantha was great! She watched our two cats and our dog (and they loved her immediately). We had some last minute additions to some pet medications right before our trip and Samantha was very good about noting down the requirements and successfully administering said meds to our old cat. We received daily updates and photos that provided some relief to us as this was our first time using rover. We highly recommend Samantha!
I can't say enough nice things about Katie! She was so kind to my pups, she left the house super clean even though I told her she didn't have to, and she left us flowers and treats!! She even found a spot where my naughty husky was digging under the fence and blocked the hole. Above and beyond. I really don't think my pups missed us. I think they want Katie back!!
Max did wonderful with our pup, Penny! Took her for walks and sent lots of photos while we were away. Easy to communicate with as needed. They also were super respectful of our home and left in great condition. Highly recommend to others needing a sitter, especially in own home.
Heather was amazing! Communication was timely and thorough. My two large dogs loved her and my cat is 19 years old and I think he did too. I don’t know if he knows what’s going on most of the time and typically just wanders the house looking for food, even after he just ate - I digress. She followed every request to the letter, was very kind and checked in regularly, even got some super cute photos. I’d giver her 6/5 stars if I could. I will be asking for her by name from now on. Highly recommend (except when we need her, then I don’t ;)~
