“Alexandra is a very friendly and punctual. My dog loved having her watch him. He felt very at ease with her as we could tell by the picture she sent of him on his back and paws in the air asking for a belly rub. Will definitely ask Alexandra to watch him again.”
“I can’t say enough good things about our dog sitter! From the moment we met, I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while I was away. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone I can trust with my furry family member. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter!”
“We can't say enough about Melissa. We were leaving during snow and ice for a long time planned vacation. Melissa made it to our home, took care of our pets and even went above and beyond to make sure we didn't worry while on vacation. She sent videos and pics daily, stayed in touch with us and we appreciate how happy our pets were. Thank you thank you thank you!”
About: I have worked in the veterinary medical field for 6+ years and have thousands of hours of experience as a veterinary assistant. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and cats, with all different personalities- that’s what makes them all unique and I love it! I am currently very flexible with my weekly routine and I am more than happy to meet with you beforehand if you feel more comfortable. As an avid cat owner, I have Toulouse naturally leash-trained. I have an enclosure for him so he can enjoy the outside, while also being safe. At clients’ homes, I follow all instructions to make sure the pet is safe. I also will make sure the pet is always in my sight if outside.
“Bonnie is by far the best sitter we have ever had! She was so great with our boys and took extremely good care of them while we were away. She took the time to make sure they were loved and pampered, brushed them for us and even gave them adorable bandanas. She left our home cleaner then we left it and also took care of plants/brought packages inside. I would highly recommend her!! Thank you Bonnie!”
“We’ve found Adam to house sit our two dogs. From the initial meet and greet to weekend long house sitting, Adam good good care of our senior dogs and left our place as it was. He listened to our requests and needs and made notes. He communicated with photos each day and it was so helpful to know the dogs were happy and well with him. I would use Adam again and would recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a reliable dog sitter .”
“Kristina did an awesome job with Brody and Bella. Before our trip we had 3 meet and greets. Bella can be nervous around new people and krsitina took her time with her and eventually warmed up to her. Brody got all the snuggles belly rubs he wanted. She made us feel very comfortable with all the texts and pictures she sent. We will be using Kristina in the future.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. Right now I have four cats, two dogs, and two rabbits, so I’m used to taking care of multiple pets with different needs and personalities. One of my dogs is very old and has become blind and deaf, which has taught me a lot about patience, paying attention to details, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Caring for him has given me experience working with animals that need a little extra support and attention. I also volunteered at a horse rescue and rehabilitation facility for a year, where I helped with feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, and caring for horses. Working with horses taught me how to safely handle large animals, stay calm under pressure, and understand animal behavior. It gave me a lot of confidence and responsibility that I still use when caring for pets today. Besides my own animals, I’ve helped care for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, basic medications, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m a 19-year-old college student currently on summer break and working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets because I feel the same way about my own. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind. ❤️ As a college student on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability outside of my part-time job. This allows me to dedicate time and attention to each pet’s needs, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to making sure pets receive consistent, quality care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, clean up after pets, ensure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and carefully follow any special instructions. I also treat each home with respect and keep pet owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Highly recommend Nicole! She took excellent care of my dog and three cats. My pets are a bit high maintenance, with meds and prescription food. She got everyone fed properly and got the dog to take all her meds. Nicole spent a lot of time with my pets, and they received tons of snuggles. I received twice daily updates with photos. My house was tidy, and the pets were happy upon my return. If I need a pet sitter in the future, I will be reaching out to Nicole!”
“I’ve had a couple of bad experiences with sitters from Rover in the past, so I was definitely nervous leaving my dog again. Olivia completely exceeded my expectations. She was very calm, patient, and immediately made my dog feel comfortable, which gave me so much peace of mind. She followed all of the directions I left, kept great communication, sent lots of pictures and my house was exactly the way I left it when I got home. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!”
“Lily is great ! I have no worries when she stays with our Goldendoodle and I’m able to enjoy my time away knowing that she will feed, walk and play with Ollie during her stay!”
“We are so happy we booked Christina! She sent me daily updates of Layla with some photos, which we love! She was also very respectful of our home and helpful to being in mail and some packages and take the trash out to the curb(thank you!!). We had no doubt Layla was a happy girl in Christina’s care and we will definitely book her again! :)”
About: I’ve been animal sitting for about a year and a half now I love doggy babies! My experience goes from boarding at the owner’s house for up to three weeks or just drop in visits whatever’s needed of me. I can move my schedule around for you! If your dog likes to chill I can chill if they like to play let’s play! I currently work part-time and I’m not in school so I’m able to move my schedule around to fit the needs of others! As long as it’s the day I have available While I don’t have a dog I’m able to learn whatever is required to be meet your dogs needs. If they need help all I need is for you to tell me how to help them and they’ll be taken care of!
“Miguel is the ABSOLUTE BEST! He stayed with my 2 boxers both rescues and one still a little fearful of new people so Miguel came by for 2 visits before staying with them. Miguel gave them their medications and followed all instructions, communication was great and sent pics. Booking him for two more future trips! Thanks again Miguel! Highly recommend!”
“Another huge thank you to Cynthia for taking care of our 3 fur-kids! Not only did she give them lots of play time and attention per usual, but we last-minute changed the booking from her home to ours due to some issues one of our dogs was having. She was very understanding and flexible. One of our dogs is having some issues that we aren’t sure of the cause yet, and she kept a great eye on him and kept us informed while we were away. It was hard to leave him not knowing how he would do while we were away, but Cynthia took charge of the situation and unfortunately had to deal with a severe stomach issue with him while we were gone. We spoke on the phone a couple of times about it and she continued to monitor it. Was comforting to know she was tuned in to him and just dogs in general! Thank you again Cynthia!”
“Lucky for us, we chose Jaclyn who was a perfect match for our senior pup. She came to meet him before we left and he warmed up to her calm demeanor instantly. She sent photos while we were away and was quick to respond back to messages. We hate leaving our big guy but it’s good to know we have a trusted sitter nearby. Thank you Jaclyn!”
About: I have had multiple dogs growing up and have raised puppies! Dogs have a very special place in my heart, I want all puppies to have the best treats and the most playtime! I am an independent nail technician, so I have a flexible schedule! Mornings and afternoons I am home to care for pets! I am available weekends and weekdays for stop ins and overnight visits. I hold client’s homes with the upmost respect.. Cleaning and leaving the home better after I leave. I greatly care about the environment of each pet and will always protect the home as it were mine.
Yates pet parents share their Rover experiences
Andrea was wonderful house sitting our two dogs. They are anxious with strangers but Andrea was patient and gentle with them and was able to get them comfortable with her. She kept us updated, sent pictures, took them on walks and kept them happy and comfortable. We would love to have her house sit again and recommend her!
This was our second time having Lisa check in our guinea pig, Storm, while we were on vacation. Storm was comfortable with her right away, and she shared the cutest photos. Lisa took extra time and care around the house. Would gladly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for trustworthy and reliable pretty care. 😊
Ainsley took care of our 70lb Bernedoodle in our home for 4 nights in August 2025; she stayed there for the overnights. We received daily pictures and even more when I requested them. We didn’t know how our dog’s appetite and sleeping habits would change with us being gone, but she kept a close eye on it and kept us informed. She’s responsive to questions, and also brought in our mail, packages and garbage cans from the curb. I didn’t have to worry about our fur baby being lonely and feeling abandoned, and we enjoyed a much needed getaway. She is competent, responsible and respectful and I would request her again in a heartbeat!
Katherine was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Bentley and Ellie! From the moment she arrived, she was caring, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease leaving them in her care. She followed all instructions perfectly, including giving medications, and sent us thoughtful updates and pictures while we were away. The dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved while with her. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her!
Karen did an outstanding job. We have a 15 1/2 year old jack Russel/beagle who has arthritis in her back legs. Karen was so kind and moved at her pace. Short walks, some topper for her food and some time to let our girl rest. Our dog got along great with her Dog. We had a couple meet and greets leading up to our vacation which helped her anxiety and ours! Karen also sent updates and pictures every morning. Seeing her happy put our minds at ease. I would highly recommend Karen!
