“Brady had a great time with Gia. She left the house nice and clean. She also let us know how he was doing all week. Would definitely have her come and watch Brady again. It was a great experience.”

About: I’ve been around pets all my life. From the moment I was born we had cats and my family members had dogs. My cousin trains dogs and has been for 3 years, she gets them as little puppies and I am always around them. I walk dogs frequently and am around them frequently! I help a lot of people dog sit! I would like to get some extra cash and exercise while I am at school! I have an easy schedule this semester and would love to walk a dog or care for a pet. I’ve dog sitted many times before. Everytime I make sure I take them on walks, make sure they pee/poop, and feed them properly, but you can’t forget to love on them!! At home I love on my pets a lot, feed them, and change their litter box.

“Olivia was so great with our big Bernese puppy! She came to meet us prior to our dog sitting date, and she even checked in just prior to our date and during her stay. This was the first time that I used Rover and a dog sitter, and I was so pleased. Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thanks Olivia!!!!”


About: I’m Emily! A little about me: I love to run, lift, paint, and read. I am currently a student at the University of Pittsburgh studying Speech Pathology and Audiology who’s home for the summer! I've been a pet owner myself for about 5 years now. My family currently has three cats and has had a dog and another cat in the past. Within the last seven years I have dog and cat sat for a lot of my extended family and friends. I'm currently on the hunt for a part-time job for the summer, so I have plenty of time on my hands to look after and care for pets. I also have my own car and am hanging out with friends a lot, so I am always around. I am very diligent with making sure doors and windows are shut and locked to ensure that your pets do not go in or out (if they're indoor pets/ not on a leash) as I have to do that with my own pets! I also realize as it grows hotter, animals become dehydrated and hot as well, and I am careful to make sure water bowls are filled, and there is water during walks as well.
“Stayed at my house with my two pups and did amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of and I couldn’t have been happier. She sent updates and pictures throughout the days as well :). Great sitter!”


“Nancy was absolutely amazing!! She spent quality time with Millie and kept me posted throughout the sitting on how Millie was doing. She went above and beyond to accommodate our sitting needs and last minute booking. I was able to enjoy my trip with absolutely no worries!!! 🥰 Millie and I have definitely made a great friend and will ask Nancy to care for Millie many more times!! Thank you so much for loving our Millie as much as we do !! 💞”

“Taylor was so great with our dog!! She house sat for us for 5 days and gave us daily updates and pictures of our dog throughout her stay. She is very sweet and pays attention to detail well. We will definitely be booking with her for all of our puppy needs :)”

“Rover.com Review for Lauren Lauren was outstanding. She watched our three dogs and house sat for 10 days while we were on vacation. From the start, she was flexible with timing and made everything easy. She sent daily updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. Our dogs were clearly well cared for and happy. We came home to a clean house and relaxed pets! We’re extremely thankful for her care and professionalism. We’ll definitely book her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of animals and pets since I was young. Growing up, we had puppies, dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens. With my children we had guinea pigs, hamsters, and cats. I currently work full time but I have a full hour for lunch to stop by and care for your pets. I can do drop ins or stay at your house, whatever is needed to make sure your pet is safe and loved. I have two cats at my house. They are well loved and follow me everywhere. I make sure they have nutritious food and clean water always. I have helped with dogs, making sure they are safe when out walking. I make sure they are given the right amounts of food and always have water. As a pet lover, I want to give them companionship, love, and security while their "parents" are away.
About: I have over ten years of animal care experience. From senior dogs and cats to puppies and kittens, I am patient, responsible, and fun. I would love to give your fur baby some love and appreciate your trust in me. I am free on all weekends and holidays. I do work an 8 hour shift monday through friday, 6:45am to 3:15pm. I walk daily so having a companion with me fits in perfectly. I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly cat. I go on daily walks myself so having a fur companion with me would be something I would love!
“I would give Chera 10 stars if I could!!! We have two Shih-tzu’s and one became ill early in our two week vacation. Chera alerted us immediately and offered to take him to the vet and take off from work!!!! My son took him to the vet and got medicine for him. Chera made sure she followed all instructions from the vet and cleaned up after our pup for the rest of her stay!!!! It was a lot of unexpected stress and work! Chera was in touch with me daily and followed up with my son - My sons both offered to take the sick dog to their house but I was completely confident that Chera was loving and caring for him and there was no need to change his surroundings!!💕 I would book her again in a heartbeat- I hope she will accept!!! I forgot to mention all of the little extras like cleaning out my fridge and doing some laundry and keeping the house clean too!!!! An Angel was here!!!”

“Wade was absolutely amazing with Rex! I had never left him with a sitter before and was extremely nervous, but Wade made the entire experience stress-free. He sent multiple updates and pictures, took Rex on long walks every day, and treated him like his own. I know Rex is going to miss him! He did incredible with him, and I could not be more grateful. I would give a million stars if I could!”

Youngstown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alexis was hands down the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! We were out of town for three days for a wedding. (Three hours away in a snow storm, with toddlers, and in charge of making and bringing the wedding cake…) So, STRESSFUL. Leaving our pets has always been incredibly stressful on its own; However, Alexis was trustworthy, confident, followed directions perfectly, took notes when we first met so she was sure of the care details, and went above and beyond by trying to ensure we came back to a calm home. Not having to be worried about my animals while i was away stressed about other things was a life saver. She updated me a few times a day, and provided photos of my pets which was a really sweet touch to get to see that they were happy. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
