It was a pleasure to have Alyssa in our home. Her availability was exactly what we needed for our older dog and her communication with us was great! Our dog was well cared for and our home was clean when we arrived back home. Will definitely book her again for future trips!

Jessica was so great with our ladies. She was very good at keeping me posted on how everyone was doing with photos and updates! Our house was just as we left it when we arrived back home, and pets seem very happy! Thank you Jessica! We’ll definitely be working with you again.

Emily is amazing! We were gone for 8 days in Florida and Emily stayed at our home. She watched our 11 week old puppy and two cats. She sent daily pictures and updates. She responded immediatly to texts. She was very patient and loving with our pets. She was clean, neat and respectful in our home, took our trash out and even bought treats for our puppy! I never ever worried about them once! Emily is very personable and easy to communicate with! I would refer her to anyone! I'm planning on using her again!

Cam was a total lifesaver! I needed a last-minute sitter for my dog, Maverick, because my husband was out of town and I was starting a new job. Cam came over to meet us beforehand and asked all the right questions to make sure Mav was well-cared for. Throughout the stay, I got plenty of updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. Cam took him on great walks, played ball at the park, and gave him all the cuddles he could handle. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Cam again whenever Maverick needs a buddy!

This was our first time using Rover and a pet sitter. Lillie was communicative from the very beginning and throughout the week. She provided excellent care for our 17 year old cat and 6 year old sheltie. We came home to happy animals and a house that looked like no one had been in it. Will definitely use her again.

Thank you so much again Katie for taking such great care of our Bernie pup & the overnight stay. 5 stars with your care-we appreciate you making sure Bernie got his medicine and potty breaks and bringing in my Amazon packages, lol. You are awesome & we appreciate all the updates with his walk, food, and playtime while we were away. Definitely would rebook Katie!

About: I often joke that I like animals more than people and with that being said, I can promise that I will love on your furbaby as if they were my own. My Chihuahua-Jack Russell recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and my house has been too quiet. This opportunity with Rover will bring some joy back to my life, hopefully with a side of snuggles. I’ve been watching cats & dogs since I was a pre-teen. I grew up in a house with 2 cats, as well. I work Monday-Friday, but I have plenty of time on the weekends to walk and play with your dog. I am open to house-sitting at your residence if that is better for the animals. I'm available 24/7 for boarding at my house, as long as your pup is crate-trained and okay being home alone for 6-8 hours as I do work full time Monday-Friday. Same hours go for housesitting at the pet's home. I have lots of space to roam in the house. Couch and bed are free spaces. If your pet prefers to be crated at night, I am happy to do so. At your house, I am happy to follow all rules set in place.

Kelli was able to watch our dog on short notice, which we really appreciated. She did well with our German Shepherd, who can be stand-offish until she gets comfortable, and was patient in helping her adjust. Our dog has more involved care needs than a typical dog due to health conditions, including a specialized feeding routine and daily medications. Kelli was willing to take that on and follow through which gave us peace of mind knowing she was attentive to those details. We also appreciated how she handled an unexpected situation during a power outage. The resulting beeping in the house caused stress for Callie, and Kelli responded quickly by comforting her and reaching out right away for guidance on how to resolve it. However, we found communication to be inconsistent. We typically expect daily updates and photos from our sitters, but during this week-long stay, we only received photos twice and often had to initiate contact ourselves for updates. For pet owners who value proactive communication, this is an important consideration. While Kelli is very capable with complex care, consistent daily check-ins would have greatly improved our experience.

We had an excellent experience with Abigail and would absolutely book again. From the start, communication was clear, proactive, and professional, which made coordinating everything seamless. Our dogs were incredibly well cared for—happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable the entire time we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was obvious our sitter paid close attention to routines, preferences, and small details that make a big difference. Our home was also left in great condition—clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. That level of respect and care doesn’t go unnoticed. Overall, this was a stress-free, reliable experience. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and easy to work with, I highly recommend her.

About: Family, friends and coworkers have relied on me to take care of their pets while they’re on vacation or just a quick weekend getaway. I’ve been watching dogs for many years and love every second of it. I work 4 days a week but I am looking to make some extra cash on the weekends or a nice little walk after work. I love to make sure they feel comfortable whether that’s going for a long walk or playing in the house/backyard. Your dog will be spoiled with me!

Danielle was wonderful. This was my first time having her care for my 2 Doxie’s and they loved her. I had no concerns about leaving them with her after our first meeting. They can be quite a handful and Danielle was able to keep them happy the whole time. Even though we had difficulties with international communications, Danielle kept me updated and sent pics of my pups. I would definitely recommend Danielle to anyone needing pet care. Thank you Danielle!!

About: I grew up on a farm with multiple dogs, cats, and lots of other animals. I raised goats for 4 years. I have extensive experience pet-sitting cats, dogs, and puppies of all ages, including elderly pets. I am confident in the care and peace of mind that I can provide you and your pet(s). P.S. When the calendar says I'm available the whole time, it means I haven't set my availability yet. Thanks for your understanding! My main job's schedule is wildly inconsistent. I do this as a side gig, but I would love to do it more often because I'm passionate about animals and love getting to know and caring for people's pets in a way that gives their parents/owners peace of mind while they're away. Depending on the driving distance, I can provide drop-in care for your pet or stay at your place as needed. I have experience pet-sitting for pets that need medications administered/given.
