“Melissa is the best! Our cat loves when she visits and she takes great care of him. She’s extremely reliable and trained for insulin injections for our little diabetic boy!”
“Holly was professional and immediately upon booking asked to meet me and my pup. She was punctual and kind. Our dog took to her immediate and it made me feel so comfortable leaving my 14 year old guy in her care. She left me kind messages that were personalized and cute pictures that she tried to convey how his mood was at the time. So happy all she got was a blur. So happy smiling after tennis ball fun. She was clockwork with her 5 days of duty never letting my labradoodle down an hour. She communicated as well as did what Rover supplies. I am gracious as leaving an older dog on sudden notice is so stressful and I know that she was a great relief to our family as we did what we needed to do! I am so appreciative! Book Holly - let’s get her more reviews. She’s a great pet sitter and I highly recommend her for your next furry sitter! Thanks Rover! And Thank you Holly! Ash loved you!”
“Felt very comfortable leaving all my animals in the care of Ezra. He was very quick at responding and took lots of pictures. Definitely went above and beyond to make sure I knew they were safe.”
“Sara was so thorough in her report cards, took her time to really play with our dogs, and communicated perfectly! I looked forward to every update. Cannot recommend enough!”
“Absolutely stellar experience with Mary! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process and truly great with our dog, Honey Bear. From the moment they met, it was clear that Honey Bear felt comfortable and happy in her care. Mary was also very flexible and kind, especially when our plans unexpectedly changed — she handled everything with grace and understanding. It’s such a relief to know our pup was in such good hands. Would definitely recommend Mary to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Amazing job watching my cats! Changed the litter box everyday, sent pictures, gave them all the love! Was able to trust Mauro & Diego completely. They even left me the sweetest gift for Charles and Cheeto!”
“Second time using Terri and it feels like she has been watching our cats for years. Our older cat Cosmo is usually standoffish with strangers, and even people he has known his whole life. But when Terri comes in he instantly goes to the room with his toys for play time. Our very first meeting our younger cat Goose jumped up on her lap (she never does this with us!). Terri is a cat whisperer and we love her. I feel like they don’t even seem phased by us going on vacation anymore. They love her so much and she clearly goes above and beyond in making them feel taken care of. Thanks so much Terri!!”
“Ashley took such good care of my 2 cats! So grateful! Definitely a cat lover! She dropped in on them for 5 days last week, and followed all my instructions - feeding them, and even giving them time outdoors in their cat tunnel as I requested! She also sent me photos and updates. Happy cats!”
About: Hi, I’m Josephine – your friendly neighborhood dog lover in Baker! 🐾 As a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog mom of two, I know just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I live right here in the Baker neighborhood, and I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, or house sitting whenever your pup needs attention, love, and a little exercise while you're away. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and medical needs—including senior pups and those requiring medication or special care. Whether your dog needs a calm presence, playtime, or a reliable walking buddy, I’m here to help. I bring a background in people-centered work (I recently was laid off from a role in diversity, equity, and inclusion), and now I’m excited to bring that same heart and attentiveness to the pets in my community. Flexible scheduling ✅ Medical needs welcome ✅ Reliable and loving care ✅ Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy—every single visit! Pet care is part of my daily rhythm—between caring for my own dogs and daughter, I’ve built a flexible, loving routine centered around animals. 🐾 Your pets get VIP treatment—snuggles, walks, meds, and playtime like fetch, all tailored to their routines and quirks, just like I do with my own pups!
“Ally was our very first Rover visit with our new 10 week old puppy. She took amazing care of our pup! She gave us a detailed report and sent along several photos to put us at ease. I had even forgotten to tell her how to lock our front door back, but she was sure to do it anyway. Thank you, Ally! I hope we’re lucky enough to book you again!”
“Heather was excellent and we will definitely be using her again. She was on time for her visits, attentive to Ellie and Syl while here, and the house was in great shape when we got back. Most importantly, she also got the best pictures!”
“Rebecca was amazing!!! It was our first time leaving our kitten alone for a week and safe to say that we were nervoussss... But daily updates and pictures put us at ease, all the instructions were followed and our kitten loved her! She went far and beyond to make sure that he was a happy furball ❤️”
“mais brought me so much pace and comfort being with my cats! she spent time getting to know them and getting them to open up to her. truly felt like my cats were being watched by someone who really cares!”
About: After a bit of a haitus from Rover, I'M BACK and ready to meet your best friend! I have been walking dogs and house-sitting for others since I was 13 years old. I grew up with dogs, but am now a cat mom and love all animals! I have a typical corporate job, so my hours are before and after work hours unless I'm working from home (Mondays & Fridays). I'll work with you to find the best possible schedule for you and your pet! I work a typical corporate/remote job, so am available before 7:30am and after 4:30pm! If I'm working from home (Monday & Fridays), I'm also available mid-day. We have a cat who is not comfortable with other animals (he's a spoiled 5 year old!), so I'm not offering any home stays for other animals at this time.

“Josephine has been our dog sitter over the last few years. She used to care for our older Great Dane Annie and now watches our Great Dane puppy Penne. Josephine is experienced in caring for dogs both young and old, and giant! Jo has always been very caring, compassionate, and loving with our big babies. We know that when we leave them with her, they are in great hands. Trusting someone to come into your home and take care of your pet is hard to find, we definitely recommend Josephine.”

She is a very loving and caring person and would welcome anyone's dog into her home as her own. I would trust her with my dog (which is rare for me to say :] ) and highly recommend her to other fur parents! ”
