“This was our second time using Jamie and things went very well just like the first time. We have her booked again for travel in November and January. She has been easy to work and communicate with, and the pups seem like all went well when we return home. We look forward to the consistency of the same person, so as we travel more frequently than we have in the past they feel safe and secure, and not stressed by a constant change of sitters.”

“Kylie is great. Loves animals and was terrific with Knox. I already booked her for a second time.”

Laura K.

“I can not say enough great things about Libah. She made my trip so much better because I had no worries about leaving her with my boy Journey. She provided daily pictures and messages. Some days there were multiple communications. She was absoluty great. I would without a doubt, would without hesitation use her again. Trust me if you are looking for a sitter, she is the one you should go to!!”

“Claire did a great job watching our toy poodle. While we were on vacation she sent us daily updates including cute pics of Chance! Thanks Claire for making our first experience with Rover a good one!!”

“Erin's stay with our girls was above our expectations. Why? It was the little things! She asked very good questions and offered a meet and great. She communicated throughout the stay, sharing a summary of their day along with pictures. She made sure to keep their schedule and the entire time playied and engaged with them. She treated our home as if it was her own. Laundry and dishes were done when we arrived. Thank you! We highly recommend Erin!”

“Having Sam as an in-home sitter for our 15-year-old special needs Cocker Spaniel and two active playful Cocker Spaniels was a blessing. Dolly, Carl and Millie are all rescue dogs with issues. Dolly is deaf, has blinding cataracts and chronic pain. Carl has itchy skin and Millie just wants to play all the time! To find a sitter with ability to give proper care, which included giving Dolly and Carl medications, was a must. With Sam's ability to understand their needs and carefully follow detailed instructions was tremendous! Sam welcomed the challenge with no hesitation. We are planning to have her to take care of our threesome again soon. Thanks Sam!”

About: I've been pet-sitting since I was 10 years old. I grew up around dogs and farm animals, and have always loved taking care of them. I'm familiar with all type of breeds and energy levels. I am a voice teacher and singer, so my schedule is very flexible. I can work around almost anything and will be able to give consistent care if needed. Each animal is unique, and I pride myself on being able to adapt easily to new routines so that your fur baby can continue their day with little to no upsets.

“Best rover we have ever had. We have two older dogs with some incompetency problems and when we got home, everything was super clean. The dogs were super relaxed and happy and she even left on jazz music for them to chill too when we got home. 10/10 no notes she’s amazing”

“Couldn't have been happier with Alex - he's so smart, personable and genuinely loves all living things! My gang loved him immediately and can't wait to see him again. Great communication, very responsible, conscientious, and respectful in every way. Highly recommend - have him charm your pets too!”

Carol L.

“Sophia did a great job for us. She sent multiple pictures every day, our dog bonded with her quickly and she left the house clean. It was the first time we used Rover and it was an excellent experience.”

“Tracy is very kind and was an exceptional commentator. I will definitely book her again.”

“Ian was a fantastic sitter! I had him stay at my house since my puppy had just gotten spayed and wasn’t used to being alone — he did a tremendous job! He was communicative, respectful and followed all the instructions closely. He was also flexible with pick up and drop off since it changed a couple of times and my pup immediately liked him ? I will definitely use him in the future and will tell all my local friends about him as well!”

Amanda F.

“Michaela was awesome! Great communication, got back to us quickly & paid lots of love and attention to our house and fur babies. Would definitely use her again!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care comes from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering with animals over the years. I’ll always do my best to provide quality care and spend lots of active time with your furry friends! I work full time, but have flexibility. I love going for walks, engaging in play, and giving lots of snuggles & love to your animals! I’ll make sure spaces are clean & your fur babies are left content.

“I lucked out finding Kim at the last minute. She was able to take care of the dog with a two day notice which was amazing. She kept me updated throughout the stay and even left me a note at the end that wrapped everything up so that I didn’t have any questions about how it went. I would most certainly recommend her but also book her again myself. I’ll already Recommended her to neighbors and friends.”

“Nicole is Holly & Cole’s bestest buddy! It was our first time leaving our dog overnight with someone other than us and Nicole took all of the worries away. She’s trustworthy, great with our pets, and writes the sweetest updates while we’re away from our fur babies. Highly recommend 🐾”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the genuine love and patience I bring to every animal I care for. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means helping a puppy learn good habits with gentle, consistent training or giving extra love and comfort to a senior dog who just wants a calm, cozy space. I treat every pet like family, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a very important part of my daily and weekly routine. I organize my time around their needs, making sure to include walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love. I enjoy adjusting my day to give them company and attention, whether it’s for scheduled visits or longer stays. For me, it’s not just a task—it’s one of the best parts of my week! When I care for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medication—so they feel at ease. In my home, I provide a calm and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax and play. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet gets personalized care and attention, just like they would if their family were there.

“Third time using Brooke now for pet sitting our three fur babies—she’s absolutely AMAZING. Very communicative and goes above and beyond. Our pets love her!”

About: I have thoroughly enjoyed taking care of different dogs from a variety of breeds and ages for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family know that they can rely on me to care for their fur babies! I have also worked on a farm with a variety of different animals including puppies along with working for a dog walking company. I am a spiritual life coach in the process of expanding my business. I work from home and am my own boss which gives me a lot of flexibility in creating my schedule. I do have time slots when i'm working with clients but besides that I am able to be quite flexible based on your needs. I love to connect with the pets ahead of time to get to know their personality along with meeting the parents and seeing if i'm a good fit. I care for pets in my client’s home and learn what the pets’ essential needs are and what I should do when they demonstrate certain behaviors.
