“Mary Rose was the perfect sitter for us! We were really nervous about leaving our two cats overnight for the first time but she was adaptable to our care instructions, gave frequent updates and pictures, and overall was just a sweet person to interact with!”
“Claudia & Steven took exceptional care of my furbabbies and home. My dogs easily warmed up to them and quickly became best buds! They sent daily videos, photos, and check-ins. Their communication and love for animals is top-notch. They have my highest recommendation!”
“Jen is our preferred dog walker and for good reason. She's very personable and trust worthy. Brooklyn (our dog) is a fan of hers and we look forward to her caring for him in the future.”
“I was so impressed with Heather. She did a great job with my two furbabies (two small dogs). I was so nervous to leave them, but she took excellent care of them. She was commmunicative and responsive the entire stay. My younger dog can struggle to warm up to new people, but she was incredible with him- he clearly liked her a lot. Heather was also flexible about changing the booking dates around so that I could spend more time with my dying parent. It meant the world to me to be able to spend an extra day at home. She also kept the apartment clean and tidy and even washed the sheets for me. I was so grateful and appreciative for Heather’s help with my dogs while I was away. Would definitely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Olivia was an amazing sitter for our 3 dogs!! We were out of town for a long weekend, and she took great care of our pups and home. One of our dogs is especially wild, and Olivia handled her perfectly. She sent photo updates and respected our house and left it the same as we had left it! Any questions I had about the pups’ behavior while gone were answered promptly. We will definitely reach out to her again when we go out of town next!”
“Maverick was happy and well cared for. Mai did an excellent job caretaking for him. Maverick doesn’t warm up to new well and he liked her at first meet.”
“Katelyn took great care of our pets (dog and 2 cats) and our house when we went away. She came to our house to meet them and us before our trip, sent us photos while we were away, and left our house very clean. We would definitely use her again!”
About: I love Dogs it doesn't matter if is not my own. They all need love and care. I will make any dog feel like home. I have train my dog to sit give pal and roll over since he was 10 weeks old. I work from home, so we spend a lot of time together. Working from home allows me to give my dog time and love, go on walks I have a very big space and a room just for my dogs and dog sitting. I also have access to the trail and big front yard they can run.
“Nancy was a joy to work with from the moment I contacted her. She is very responsive when you contact her. We had a meetup with her so we could show have her meet our two dogs and she asked many questions about what the dogs needs were and liked, dislikes etc. while we were on our vacation, she updated us daily with pictures and and what the dogs were doing that day etc. It was very comforting to see photos of my dog, snuggling with her and enjoying their walks. When we returned home, our house was immaculate! Nothing out of place and everything clean as a whistle. I can’t say enough positive things about Nancy. Try her you’ll love her!”
“Amanda took great care of our dog while we were away for a week. She was responsible, communicative and we would love to work with her again.”
“Just wow- Pauline really came to the rescue for me. It’s a long story, but I had to work overnight at the hospital and one of my dogs was having a severe episode of separation anxiety due to some recent changes in my schedule/travel. Pauline happened to see my message in the late hours of the night (which I was totally not expecting) and offered to come stay with my dogs last minute in the middle of the night. I couldn’t believe it. Pauline is such a kind, caring, considerate, thoughtful person- I am so grateful she could help me out.”
“Janalie was amazing with our dog! Very communicative and kind. This was the first time in a long time we left him home for a whole weekend and it went very smooth. I 100% recommend and appreciate the many, many photos and videos I received of Max enjoying his time with Janalie”
“I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone! She house sat and pet sat for us one weekend and she was amazing. Her communication and updates on the dogs was wonderful! We felt our pups were in great hands with her❤️”

About: I have been responsible for my own pets’ care since I was 12. I have had a very active German Shepard mix and Sharpei growing up, which I was responsible for feeding, bathing, and care. I have a family friend that I walk and hike their dog for so I am comfortable doing both if your dog is more active. I currently work fully remote from my home with schedule flexibility so I am able to take pets for walks in mornings, afternoons, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to be flexible for walking and pet visits during guardian vacations, time away, etc. I have a pet-free home for any pets that are not used to other animals. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with green space. When dog-sitting, I take the approach of playing with a pet outside and familiarizing prior to introductory period in the home.

Ingrid H.
“Being the owner of three pugs, two of which are senior girls that require extra attention with their medical needs, finding someone that you can trust to adequately care for them in your absence can be difficult at best. I had the privilege and good fortune to meet Miss Ingrid and she totally impressed me with her vast knowledge and dedication to the animals that she cares for. My schedule has me constantly traveling and I can now do so with extreme peace of mind, knowing that my "kids" are being very well cared for allowing me to focus on what I need to get done. I highly recommend Miss Ingrid, knowing that my dogs are in the best possible hands they can be in when I am away. I sometimes need to leave on a moments notice and it has never been a problem; Miss Ingrid is always there for me!”

Amity pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sadie did a fantastic job house-sitting my two cats! She definitely knows how to take care of cats, as evidenced by my timid one warming up to her within hours of meeting her! I had total peace of mind while I was away, and I'll definitely be her repeat customer :)
Janalie is the best dog sitter around. She gave so much love and attention to our Labrador retriever and has amazing energy from the moment she met the dog. She kept us up to date and sent photos throughout her stay. Our doggo was in good spirits when we got home!
Elizabeth took great care of Luna and our home while we were away. She is dependable and responsive - we were lucky to find her and would highly recommend!
Corrie took such good care of my cat, Bodhi. She communicated daily with pictures and updates. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Corrie for your pet sitting needs.
We feel so grateful that we found Jen! She has sat for Bat a few times now for overnight stays, and every time we come back, we can tell that he was so well taken care of and loved. Thank you, Jen!
Leonella was amazing and took the best care of our pets and home while we were away, she sent lots of pics which we appreciated and our pets were very happy and comfortable with her, she has a great way with animals. Highly recommend!
Melanie house and dog sat for our dog Luna for a few days while we traveled out of state. This was our first experience with Melanie other than a few daily walks and we were extremely happy with the care and communication. We received daily updates and pictures and Luna seemed happy and engaged every day with walks and playtime. Everything looked great upon our return. Melanie was responsive when I messaged her. We will definitely have Melanie watch Luna again and give her 5 stars! Thank you.
Rachel took such good care of our little guys while we were gone. Our senior kitty needs several feedings of wet food through out the day and gets medication twice a day. Rachel was great about sending pictures and updates which helped me feel so relieved that things were fine at home. It felt great knowing our cats were both cared for and loved. Our house was also in perfect order. Thank you Rachel!
