“Victoria watched our pups and house while we were away for the weekend. Lucy and Arlo loved her quickly at the meet and greet. Very easy to work with and she did a great job with them!! Definitely would book again.”
“Hannah was amazing! She stayed with our pups the entire time and handled our teenage lab’s high energy like a pro. We came home to happy dogs and a spotless house. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were so well cared for. Highly recommend booking with Hannah!”

About: I am very easy going I love cuddling walking and playing with the animals I am constantly petting and grooming and love giving them treats when deserved Its company, its takes away stress, fun, and loving. It's like having another family member in our household. The animal is like a human and is very enjoyable. I am a very honest, friendly, person. It takes a lot for me to get upset. I would take care of the animal like it was my own child.
“Catherine took great care of our persnickety pets, including our elderly dog and feisty cat. She was a very kind and conscientious houseguest as well which is much appreciated! So grateful to have someone we can trust to care for our babies so well when we travel!”

“Thanks Mari! Our babes and home were well taken care of during our 12 day trip. She was communicative and very caring. Will definitely continue to rely on Mari for our pet and house sitting needs.”
“We had someone cancel at the last minute and Melissa saved the day!! She was very professional and prompt with replying. She sent lots of photos which put us at ease. My normally very standoffish cat snuggled with her. Definitely looking to hire her again!!”

“Ashley was great!! I had no worries about leaving my dog with her and she did such a good job at updating me throughout the day and responding quickly! Will 100% use her again if I need to!”

“Nicholas is hands‑down the best dog sitter my wife and I have ever had on Rover. Truly exceptional. He isn’t just dependable and courteous — he treats our dog with a level of care, enthusiasm, and commitment that blew us away. Our dog has literally walked farther with Nicholas than with anyone else. His average walks were over two hours, and he kept our pup happy, stimulated, and joyfully exhausted every single time. We were amazed by his dedication. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and our dog absolutely adored him. I honestly can’t put into words how incredible Nicholas was. Thank you, Nicholas — you set the bar unbelievably high.”

“Jesse did a great job taking care of my dog and cat while we were away. He spent a good amount of time with my animals throughout the day and made sure to send timely updates. My cat was experiencing a health issue and required extra care during our time away and Jesse was very attentive and understanding. We felt very safe leaving our animals in his care. My animals all really enjoyed their time with him.”
“Maria was fabulous. Francis and Appa were comfortable with her from their first meeting. She sent several updates and pictures every day. Maria sent kind comments about the dogs while she was with them”
“Philip T. I would recommend to all my friends and family that have furr babies. He is very professional and polite and his positive dog whisperer vibe won the hearts of Nami, Juju and Penny. He gave great care and attention to detail when an unexpected emergency to the vet came about with one of our huskies. He kept us in the loop each day or evening of whatever activity was going on. He made us laugh so hard with the funny pics and videos. He definitely is the BEST Sitter Rover could ever have in a million years. We gained a new friend too.”

About: I've had dogs growing up my entire life. I also know that each dog has its own personality and individual needs. I love all animals, and believe they deserve to get the best care. Which is why I decided to join Rover. I know its not always easy for someone to get their animals from place to place especially around the holidays because a lot of places get booked to maximum capacity. I want to be convenient to the owners schedule so they don't have to worry about their animal(s) and they can feel free to contact me anytime in the day. I'm available 24/7 when it comes to dog care, I am also certified as a Veterinary Assistant. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I always plan around any pet care job I accept. Leaving plenty of time to play with your pets! So you won’t have to feel visits are rushed. I am very respectful for client’s space and belongings when in their home. Making sure I keep it a safe space for their fur babies!
“Monica is an outstanding sitter! I was in the hospital having a baby and was experiencing so much stress finding a trustworthy person to watch my senior pit bull in my home. He cannot be boarded or crated. My dog has separation anxiety and Monica knew how to calm him because of her experience working at a vet. Unexpectedly, my daughter needed to stay in the hospital and Monica was flexible and understanding. You are a life saver! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking great care of my dog-son.”

About: I’ve cared for 7 dogs and 2 cats throughout their full life span, from puppyhood and kittenhood to senior years, including pets with special senior care needs. I’m confident handling large dogs and focus on structured walks, mental stimulation, and enriching playtime. As a psychotherapist, patience, intuition, and compassionate care come naturally to me. My schedule is very flexible I'm currently part time and work from home. I can be available on notice from 9am-10pm. I am able to do daily and weekly care/walking/play. I have a fenced yard. Two cats who are used to visitors and other animals. I can also crate animal if requested, use baby fence and adapt to living requirements specific to client needs.
“Jonie is a very professional dog sitter. She was so attentive to our Luca ! He received lots of love, cuddles and walks! Followed all instructions and provided lots of updates, photos and videos. We enjoyed our time away as we knew he was in good hands. I would highly recommend Jonie.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Brian! He stayed at our home for a full week while we were away and took amazing care of our two pets — our cat, who requires daily medication, and our older French bulldog. Both animals were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved when we returned.”

“Beatriz did a wonderful job taking care of my boy. She had her hands full with him not feeling well. She responded quickly to all my check ins and kept me updated. I'm so happy I found someone that is willing to come stay in my home and care for him. Will be using her again. Thank you!”
“Renee was awesome. She took care of our 2 dogs at our home while we were away. Our doggies loved her! She’ll be our first one to contact whenever the same situation occurs again. A million thanks to her!”

Meghan stayed with our two dogs and hamster in our home for a week and we would 100% work with her again. Meghan was communicative, responsive, and made sure to send us regular pics of our pets while we were gone. We also appreciated how well she handled our pup that’s afraid of thunderstorms as several rolled through while we were out of town.
