“Stephanie took great care of our three cats and dog while we were out of town! She was super easy to communicate with, gave us frequent, thorough updates on how everyone was doing, and sent lots of pics. Thank you Stephanie!”
“My Kittens Sushi and Orion warmed up to Bri and were happy to have her company. She was great in being understanding of their personalities and routine as well as the logistics of their environment. Great communication and photos from her while I was on my trip. Would like to book her again. Thanks again Bri!”
“Shinhyun is very gentle and sweet. Luca is hppy with her. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy dogsitter.”
“Kate was amazing with our pups, Apollo & Argos while we were traveling for 10 days. She provided updates a few times a day on the walks, feeding, and sent a lot of really cute pictures. They are very routine based and she made sure there wasn’t any change for them. Both dogs are large and can be energetic in particular on the walks and she handled them really well. One of our pups was on antibiotics for his skin and she was great with him during his treatment letting us know how it was healing. Kate is warm and caring treating the pups as her own and that’s super important to us. She also left the house super clean and tidy when we arrived home. We highly recommend Kate as a pet sitter and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“I have asked Michelle to pet sit my kitty, Nugget, on multiple occasions and she will continue to be the first person I reach out to. Michelle is very communicative, always making sure i am receiving pictures of my sweet girl. I know that when Michelle watches her, that she will be fed, have a clean litter box and will receive all the love. I think the biggest indicator that Michelle is great with my cat, is that Nugget absolutely loves her. It’s so wonderful having a pet sitter that I can trust. Thank you Michelle!”
“It was a great pleasure to have Danyel look after our little guy and home. As a siamese, he isn't the quietest cat to look after and has a particular set of routine he needs to follow but Danyel looked after him to the T! She was incredibly responsive, communicative, and went above and beyond the required ask to make sure our home and cat is burdened free by the time we got back from our trip. Thanks Danyel!”
“Denise was fabulous. Dogs were happy, no issues with the house upon return. Denise was reliable and communicative, I would definitely hire her again.”
“Camila was great with my pup, Howie! He has stranger danger and barks a lot at new people but she was very patient with him and he warmed up to her quickly! She sent updates and picks while I was away which I really appreciated. We’ll definitely use her again!”
About: With over 30 years of pet experience, I’ll make fast friends with your little ones! I’ve had 15 of my own over the years, both cats and dogs. In addition, I’ve often been called on as sitter and caretaker for friends and family, both in their homes and my own. While I work full-time, I work remotely and my schedule is fairly flexible, which gives me ability to travel, run errands, attend to life, and take care of things as needed. My ability to work from anywhere means that I’m often taking meetings and writing emails in different locations day to day…and there have been many instances where I’ve been pet-sitting or housesitting and working remotely from there. My first priority is of course always the safety and happiness of your family members and companions, but a close second is the care and cleanliness of your space and your home! I learned early in my life to always leave a space cleaner than you found it, and cleanliness, your preferences, handling things your way, and privacy are always in the front of my mind!
“We usually leave our dog and cat with friends or family but having just moved to the area we needed to find an alternative arrangement. We were a little apprehensive about using Rover for the first time but after meeting Tracey, her warm demeanor instantly put us (and the pets) at ease. During the stay, Tracey maintained consistent communication, providing regular updates and even sending cute pics and videos of the pets enjoying their time. It was so reassuring to know they were in such capable hands and it really helped us to relax and enjoy our time away not worrying about the fur kids! In addition to her exceptional care for the pets, Tracey also took great care of our home and left everything neat and tidy. Overall, we cannot recommend her highly enough and we are so lucky to have found such a reliable and qualified carer on Rover. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to look after our pets.”
“Malia was a joy to work with. She not only cared so well for our 2 dogs, but did an outstanding job house sitting. We came home to clean sheets, laundry going and happy dogs! I will definitely keep using her as a house/dog sitter, she’s incredible!”
“Leslie was absolutely incredible and hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve had. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was to our dog, Mimo, and to our space throughout the holiday weekend. Not only was she prompt and communicative, but she went above and beyond to ensure Mimo was taken care of, and always sending great updates in the process. We’re looking forward to the next opportunity Leslie can watch again!”
“Nasrin is great with puppies. She took great care of our dog Sushi and is able to train her to well in the short time that was spent. We definitely recommend her!”
“This is the second time we’ve used Alyssa and we’re already scheduling our next one! Alyssa is great and my dog loves her. I highly recommend!”
“Amani was wonderful! Got photo updates and see how much fun Tea Boy had. Lots of walks, she was communicative and took good care of him. Would have her watch him again in a heartbeat!”
“Nicole took such great care of my dog! Highly recommend!!”
“Amazing!! I am just so happy to have found Stacey. She treated our dogs with so much love while we were out of town and kept us updated the entire time. My older pup recently had surgery and takes a couple medications. Stacey had no issues managing the cone and surgery incision site, as well as my dogs medication schedule. My dogs wound looks much better after being in Stacey’s care. I am so grateful for her help. She also did additional tasks around the house that I would not have expected of her. I hope she will dog sit for us again in the future because she is truly the best house sitter we have ever had.”
About: Hey all!! Thanks for coming to my page. My goal as a pet sitter is to give you peace of mind that your dog is happy and healthy while you are gone. A bit about me: I’m an environmental engineer that is newer to the area. I was born and raised in the Midwest. I grew up with a Pomeranian named Bella. My family also frequently fostered pets for a local rescue so I have experience with a variety of dog personalities and sizes. In my free time I love to go on hikes, try new crafts, and bake. I currently work full time during the week (6:30-4pm) but my evenings and weekends are available. I am also available during holidays. The earlier booked the better! I am a very responsible person. Ensuring your home and pets safety would be my top priority. Making me aware of any safety precautions you would like me to take will help me best work with you!
About: I respect both humans and their pets. I also believe that animals should be cared and protected in their environment both indoors and outside settings. I have a full time job that I work Monday to Friday, and I intend to provide pet care services on after hours and weekends. I focus on and ensure that I don’t interfere and disrupt personal space of both the human and the pet I’m caring for at all times.
About: I enjoy taking the time to understand each dog's unique and fun personalities, preferences, and needs, ensuring a loving, tailored experience for every pet! I’m eager to meet your furry friend! I will be working remotely starting in August providing a flexible schedule for many pet parents. I am available most Mondays-Thursday anytime and other days of the week as requested. I’ve had many pets of my own and currently have two dogs of my own! They love to play in the fenced in back yard and enjoy having fun with the hose on the hot summer days.

Mahlet W.
“Mahlet is truly passionate, patient, and caring to pets. She treats them with gentleness and love. I remember how she took care of Emily, a male cat. She never misses a chance to show how special Emily is. When Emily got sick, Mahlet took care of him. She cleaned his wound, put cream on him, and brought him to the vet. She made sure that he will get the care that he needs. She wants what is best for the pets. I know that she is trustworthy, responsible, and respectful not only to pets but to humans, as well. I will definitely recommend Mahlet to take care of pets. I truly appreciate her hardwork and dedication.”
Kala S.
“Kala loves her pets more than anything in the world. The first thing she does in the morning is give them some love, and the last she does at night is say goodnight to them. If I was a pet, I would have hit the jackpot with having her as my owner. She’s my go to when I need someone to take care of my fur babies!”
Willow Glen pet parents share their Rover experiences
Leslie was so amazing while watching Wyatt and Pepita while we were away! We are so grateful for the great care she took with our pets. Leslie updated us daily with pictures and stories about Pepita and Wyatt. She really does a great job with everything (pet care, house care, and communication). We will be booking her again and highly recommend her!!
Denise was very sweet with my dog and cat. Super communicative and flexible to make arrangements with.
Anel was a fabulous sitter and took such good care of my dog and cat. She followed all the instructions and gave regular updates with lots of pictures. She communicated clearly and often. I have no complaints!
Camila was great with my pup, Howie! He has stranger danger and barks a lot at new people but she was very patient with him and he warmed up to her quickly! She sent updates and picks while I was away which I really appreciated. We’ll definitely use her again!
Best dog sitter over had! Sent lots of photos, took my pups to do lots of activities. My pups looked like they had a ton of fun.
Aaron did a fantastic job of taking care of our Zeus and also our home.Very reliable and sent daily updates for a whole month.would definitely recommend him to take care of your companion while you are away and be happy that they are in great hands.
Brittany was great. She made time for a meet and greet, sent us pictures, and played with Jake. She was very professional.
Vanessa took great care of our dog, Freddie - she provided multiple photos and videos a day and was really communicative and responsive.
Our experience with Janelle was wonderful. She watched our dog overnight at our house for three nights while we were on vacation. We met her the week before our trip and she was easy to talk to and very positive and friendly. Our dog immediately took a liking to her. While we were gone she sent some photos, and upon our return the house was immaculate. She left us a little welcome home sign with a really cute picture of our dog that she had drawn! That was a very sweet gesture. We recommend her!
Nasrin did a fantastic job taking care of our fur babies. She sends lots of photos and videos which gave us peace of mind that our babies were in good hands. We definitely recommend her to others.
Repeat customer, and Amoriah always provides excellent attentive care for Ivy. Extra thankful since fireworks and/or loud booms scare the dumb dog and glad Amoriah was there to comfort her while I was away for the 4th of July. Highly recommend her!
Erika is professional, kind, responsible, and kept me updated on my pup while I was away. I had her stay at my home while I was away. She was clean and organized and make sure to send me pictures of my little guy. She was excellent and I highly recommend.
Michelle does a great job caring for my crazy cat! I appreciate how communicative she is about each visit and I can tell even though my cat can be a pain as he is slow to trust people he doesn't know well, she is patient and genuinely tries to connect with him.
Donna was fantastic! She went above and beyond caring for my 3-month-old kittens (including trimming their claws), sent me tons of pictures and videos, and even tidied up before I came home. This was my first time leaving my kittens since adopting them - thanks to Donna, I was able to enjoy my vacation and not worry about my babies 😊
Anke took great care of my kitties. She gave regular detailed updates, shared pictures and videos, and let me know promptly about a feeding issue and took steps to resolve it. She’s a real cat whisperer because even my skittish boy warmed to her. Would definitely book her again.
Ashley is just the best! Having her taking care of our little zoo makes me want to plan our next trip simply because I know the critters are cared for so completely and spoiled as much as they are when we are home. She sent regular updates, photos and videos and even worked around our anti-social kitty who wanted to be extra elusive 😂 Banjo adored his daily walks and having her to snuggle with back at home. I didn’t worry or stress at all which added another layer of relaxation to our vacation.
Aubrie spent the day with Sookie and Sookie had the best time! Aubrie is sweet, patient, and understanding of Sookie’s quirks. Definitely recommend and will be booking with Aubrie in the future!
Andrew and Sonia did a great job house and dog sitting for us recently. They were warm, thoughtful and covered all the small details.
If I could leave a 100 star review for Stephanie, I would. I have a fairly new rescue pittie that came from a background of trauma. She had some behavior issues early on but she was met by nothing but love and understanding. My pup eventually settled in and is so happy to have another safe person to love. Stephanie sent wonderful updates, takes THE best dog Photos, administered their meds & supplements and left my house in great shape. After my pup calmed down, I was able to completely relax thanks to Stephanie’s great communications d proven commitment to the wellbeing of my girls. I can not recommend Stephanie highly enough.
