“Curtis was great with my two cats and dog (Odie)! He was very polite and gave Odie all of the pets and belly rubs requested during the initial meet-and-greet. During the actual stay, he sent photos and videos of the cats being obsessed with him (no surprise!) and Odie loving his walks with him. He also left the house clean! 10 out of 10”


“Samantha was an excellent choice! She really bonded with our 11 year old frenchie. We appreciated her great communication and the great care she took of our pup and our home during her stay. We’ll definitely be using her again.”


“I am so thankful to have found Caitlin. I had a last minute issue with my previously arranged pet sitter and turned to Rover hoping for the best. With less than 48 hours turnaround from contract to start of my extended vacation she was able to accommodate a meet and greet and was more than willing to take on my entire menagerie, even making herself comfortable with a rat and a bearded dragon! She was great at following the extensive directions I left and she communicated with me on the regular, sending me pics of my happy, happy crew. I’ll definitely be using Caitlin again, if I can ever afford another vacation after the last one!”


“This is the first time I’ve used Allie and when I came home, my kitty was perfectly calm, content and happy. he didn’t even act like he missed me! My home was as I left it with mail and packages brought inside. I would have no problem hiring Allie again!”

“Jay is the best dog sitter we've ever had or will ever have. Our pup ended up having unexpected summertime fireworks-related anxiety, and she handled it beautifully. Very communicative. Dozens of photos. We had zero worries about our greyhound and our house. Zero. And the house was spotless when we got back. Really, we cannot say enough good things. We'd give her 100 stars if we could.”


“Marissa took great care of our three babies (🐶🐶🐶) and our home while we were away. Our place looked great when we got back, and our girls were well cared for. Marissa also communicated with us and let us know when she arrived, left, etc. We had an all around great experience and hope to work with Marissa again!”


“This was my first time leaving my two dogs with someone other than family. Kailyn did an amazing job with my two dogs who have a lot of behavioral issues that require special considerations (feeding and walking separately, medications, etc). She sent me pics and videos of the dogs too. Highly recommend!”


About: With the help from my mom and trainer, when I was 17, I raised and trained my own dog, Rosie, a Shilo Shepherd. I also helped my mom train her own puppies, two Aussie Shepherds, Rocco and Gypsy, and they are real bundles of energy. Especially Rocco! I will bring that same love, enthusiasm, and knowledge when taking care of your fur babies! I am currently available throughout the whole week as I am shifting work positions. Once I secure a different position, I will be available most weekend days at certain times and often on weekday evenings. I never ignore the pet, I always try to go above and beyond, when pet sitting for my parents or family friends, I would always spend at least an hour and a half outside with the dog that way they got some good exercise, I always give treats IF I have to go ahead. I always try to make sure they are well hydrated after running around outside, or even playing around in the house.

“Brittany was well loved by our pups and Brittany loved our pups while we were gone. We were especially grateful when our dogs injury re-emerged while we were gone she picked up medicine and administered it until we returned home.”


“Kayce was wonderful with our pups and cat. She gave us regular updates and photos and took great care of our home. The home was spotless and everything was treated very respectfully. We hope to work with her again on an upcoming trip.”


About: From having an Irish Wolfhound and Blue Heeler on a farm with cats as well, I’ve grown up around pets my whole life. I currently have an indoor kitten, Mabel, and want to extend my expertise to you as well. I have experience pet sitting for friends often (pitbulls, golden doodles, Great Pyrenees, small dogs/toy dogs as well as American shorthair cats) and I am available full time to pet sit. I am free all day until I start my new job August 20th 8am-4pm. After that starts I am still free outside of those hours to offer my pet sitting services :) I can only pet sit at the clients home at this moment but I would try to extend the same treatment I would to my own home and pets to theirs. Cleanliness and safety is of utmost importance caring for pets along with exercise, play, and affection.

“I can't say enough good things about Shirine! She stayed in our home for 3 nights and watched over our dog and cats. She's did a fabulous job and sent pics of the animals to me each day. Our dog was looking for her when I returned and that's a great thing! Will absolutely use Shirine again.”


“Arianna was great with our two boys and was super helpful in setting up the house sitting appointment. She sent plenty of updates and pictures of our boys during the trip and kept everything under control around the house. Even our normally standoffish schnauzer warmed up to her by the end of her time! Would definitely recommend Arianna for your pet sitting or any other pet help needs.”


“James was a very conscientious sitter for us. He gave great updates throughout the stay and went above and beyond to check on the cat who was keeping a low profile away from the dogs. I appreciate his care for our furry family!”
