Atlas, Molly and Triton enjoyed their time with Tina. We were away for a week and she did overnight stays with drop ins during the day. They did great with her and were happy and healthy when we got home. They get stressed in a kennel and were so much better with Tina. She also cleaned up the house which made returning home less stressful. The pups and I were super happy with Tina taking care of them! Triton gave her huge hugs when seeing her again so that was a great review from them!

We had a wonderful experience when Steve watched our dog at our house for the weekend. His communication style kept us at ease, and we could tell from the pics he sent that our dog enjoyed himself very much. We have a very energetic Vizsla, so Steve was sure to give him lots of exercise and playtime. He takes good care of the home too. A top notch sitter who goes above and beyond.

This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone outside of my family for a trip. I and my pups (especially Papas) were nervous. However, Rachel was super understanding and patient! She consistently communicated throughout the entire process. Eventually my pups were feeling more comfortable which was super helpful as I had multiple flights canceled due to a snow storm. Thankfully, Rachel was gracious enough to extend her stay! I felt such an ease of mind knowing that my animals were safe and sound with her especially during a snow storm. Would definitely recommend and utilize again!

Matthew took good care of our very large, reactive dog while we were away. He sent us photos daily and was good at communicating if he had any questions. We will definitely be asking Matthew to watch our pup next time we go away.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the start, Katherine was incredibly attentive—asking all the right questions and making sure every detail of our dog’s routine was followed perfectly. Our home was left spotless, and it was clear how thoughtful Katherine was in every aspect of the stay. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for dog and even a few sweet updates while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve loved and cared for pets my entire life. I began pet and house sitting in high school, and after college I regularly walked my neighbor’s dogs while she was at work. Most recently, I was lucky to share over 13 wonderful years with my own dog, Rue. As a senior, she needed daily medication for her health issues, giving me valuable experience with senior pet care and administering meds. Though Rue sadly passed from cancer in November, the joy she brought me inspires me to keep giving that same love and attention to other pets. I’d be honored to help you travel worry-free, just like trusted Rover sitters did for me and Rue in the past. I work weekdays but usually finish by 3 PM, so I’m available for afternoon potty breaks, walks, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions or whatever your pet prefers! On weekends, my schedule is wide open, giving me plenty of time to provide companionship, exercise, and lots of attention. Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I love making sure your furry friend feels happy and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet and home as if they were my own, with love, respect, and attention to detail. I’m mindful of your privacy and space, always cleaning up after myself and keeping things tidy. I’ll strictly follow your pet’s feeding schedule, walking routine, medication needs, or any special instructions to help them feel secure and happy while you’re away. During house sits, I also bring in mail, water plants if needed, and ensure your home stays safe and welcoming for your return.

Meg was a great house-sitter and she took excellent care of my aging kitty. I really appreciate the care Meg took to make sure that he was brushed, fed, and watered. She even read him cat books! When I got home, it was if I had never left. He was very happy!

When we got home after 5 days away, I swear our dog was disappointed to see us instead of Shanisa! I received daily photos and videos with updates of our dog and cat while we were away, and she was very communicative leading up to and throughout her stay. She will be the first person we reach out to in the future when we need a house/petsitter!

About: I have a special place for animals I’ve always been able to connect with them more than humans! I’ve had several years of experience I have three dogs of my own and a whole farm I care for. Ive taken care of senior animals such as giving them their meds making sure they are comfortable and happy:) I’m currently working a part time job, I love animals so I thought this would be perfect and would fit perfectly in my schedule throughout the week! My in home animals go for a 25 minute walk every morning get fed after my one dog is older and wants nothing to do with toys so he sleeps all day as for my younger dog she is super hyper loves tug of war and nothing more than a game of toss and catch!

We had Elizabeth watch our 2 dogs for 2 weeks and she was fabulous. Elizabeth stayed in contact with us on a daily basis and sent us pictures of our babies. She took such good care of them when we came home they were not stressed at all and we’re happy to see us. I would definitely use Elizabeth in the future. I cannot say enough about the Care she gave our pups.

Maiya took excellent care of the pets and the house while we were on a week long vacation! She sent plenty of update photos and videos to let us know everything was going well. She took great care of our pup, including taking her out to the local park for a nice outing. I can tell she kept our dog so busy, she barely had time to miss us! She kept the house very clean (probably better than we left it) - I would absolutely have Maiya house/pet sit for us again!

Emma took great care of our small dog, Holly, in our home for a long weekend. She came by for a meet and greet and Holly loved her right away. Emma sent daily photos and communicated with us throughout the stay. She was sweet with Holly and we felt comfortable leaving her in Emma’s care. We would definitely recommend Emma!
