“Amber is very caring and truly loves animals. She tended to our dogs and even bought a couple toys for them to keep them extra happy. She was attentive and took pictures as well as took them for walks for fun. We were in a wedding and our sitter cancelled on us last minute. She helped us for a second weekend in a row and was prompt in responding to our request. She is awesome.”


“Grey took fantastic care of our one year old energetic dog! We came home to a very happy dog. Grey communicated with us during our trip. Our dog received lots of attention and went on a lot of walks!”


“Elizabeth is wonderful and communicative. She asks great questions to be sure she is treating your pets the way you would (or better)! She even took my reactive dog for a walk when I gave her the option to just use the fenced yard. That was a big deal to me (and him)! Highly recommend.”


“It’s wonderful to go away and not worry about the members of your furry family ! Ginger, is mature, intelligent and I think would know what to do in any emergency. Do not hesitate to call upon her.”



About: I’ve had several dogs of my own and lived with others: lab/pit mix, pits, two German Shepherds, a Great Dane, a friendly chihuahua, and an evil chihuahua. I’ve rescued dogs off the street, and am all around good with animals. I have a job that gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I do travel from time to time, which is why I don’t have a pup of my own. I can be whatever your dog needs. If he’s old, we can relax together; full of energy? We can throw sticks around and run. Small and skittish? Food is a great incentivizer to build trust. I’m looking to make some extra cash and enjoy the company of your pets. I will make sure your dog is happy, fed, played with, and comfortable. I only take on one client at a time, so owners do not have to worry about their pets interacting with another owner's pets. Your loved ones will have my undivided attention.

“It’s hard to find someone you can trust to not only take care of your pets, but to also stay in your home. We just went away for three nights as sort of a trial run before taking a longer trip and we couldn’t be happier that we met Chris! Everything went really well and Chris gave us updates every day with photos (and videos 😊). We came home to happy animals and a clean home. We’re looking forward to taking a longer trip now and leaving with peace of mind!”


“Roxy had another great visit with Susan! Her eye condition flared up the day I had to leave and Susan was willing to put drops in 3x/day and reassured me that she would be fine. I always feel comfortable when I'm gone knowing that Roxy is in great hands with Susan!”


“Michael took great care of our dog and cat for several days. He was very prompt with responding to messages. He also left our place neat and tidy. I would ask for him to sit again.”


“Gabe took great care of our dogs while we were gone. He gave us lots of updates which was very appreciated! We knew they were well taken care of”



“Brenda stayed at our home for a few days while we went on vacation. We didn’t want our dogs to have to leave their environment and I am SO happy with the choice we made. She kept us updated each day and sent pictures. She even went above & beyond and did laundry and left the house clean when she left. I felt very comfortable with her in our home and taking care of our fur family. I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for a house/dog sitter! 10/10!!”



“We had never used a stranger to keep out two cats. Amanda came for a meet and greet prior to staying with tiger and panther. After that we were no longer strangers. Amanda likes all animals. She sent updates and photos. We will call Amanda next time we go out of town!”


About: I’ve had a cat and a dog and have provided senior care to both. If I care for your fur baby they will be spoiled rotten! I am currently working part time, but plan to be home full-time if I have enough work through Rover. We have two dog parks in the community where I live so your pup will get plenty of walks and playtime. I also have a cat catio for your feline fur baby. I have a large front porch with a doggie door that goes out onto a long side porch that is covered. At the end of the porch there are steps that goes into a fenced in area with Astro turf for your dogs potty needs.

“Robin was awesome. She is responsible, responsive, dependable and really pays attention to the details. She handled everything perfectly and my pups were super happy and tired when I got home. Thank you, Robin!”


“Itzia took amazing care of our dog and our home while we were away on vacation! She is quick to respond to all messages and sent me photo and video updates of my pup having a great time while I was away. I was at ease knowing my dog was receiving the best care. We hope to have Itzia sit for us in the future!”


“Bonny had an exciting overnight with Noel! She loved exploring Noel's house and taking walks around the neighborhood. Noel was great with communicating with me about bonny and even sent me fun shots of Bonny playing. I highly recommend Noel and am looking forward to working with her again!”


About: I am an experienced vet tech of 12 years. I have experience in oncology, dental, and surgery. I can give medication, wrap bandages, help your pet with at home physical therapy and senior care. I do have a full time job but miss my fur babies due to changing careers. I am available every weekend any time and during the week 6AM-8AM, 12-12:30PM and 6PM-10PM Monday-Friday for drop ins or walks. I can give your fur babies anything they need. Love, medications, walks, food, water, brush down, bathe and we can discuss nail trims or any other need you may have.

“Excellent daily communication including pics of our pups. They had walks and snuggles. Once we were home, they even went looking for Kayla in the spare bedroom. They clearly bonded in the sweetest way. Highly recommend Kayla, and we have already confirmed her for our travel next week. Our pups love her. A true gem! ~Lisa Ann & Miguel”


“Leo is a fantastic dogsitter. He is a warm and grounded person who clearly loves dogs! We left for an extended vacation of over two weeks and needed an exceptional caregiver. We felt lucky to find Leo. He clearly connected with our 6 month old Kangal who is a wonderful dog - full of energy and very independent minded who needs someone loving and caring like Leo. Leo is attentive to detail, very responsive and professional in all his interactions. He left the house immaculate. We look forward to working with him again!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. I grew up with dogs and have had my own dogs as well! I currently have a senior dog and an adult dog. I have experience giving medicine and injections. I also have worked with many dog trainers, which has given me great insight on how to work with all dogs of different behaviors and personalities! I work full time from home with a flexibly job, so I am able to easily get take pets out for potty breaks and walks. If the dog I am sitting is at my house and gets along well with other dogs, we will do group walks with my dogs! If not, we will do solo walks. We also have a fully fenced in back yard. I have a fully fenced backyard and baby gates to separate the upstairs and downstairs of my home. My two dogs are used to having other dogs around, but can easily be separated to different parts of the home if needed. I can also easily work with a crate if you are crate training your dog / they are already crate trained.

“Julie took great care of our coonhound, Hadley. We received daily photos and updates and came home to a clean house and happy pup. Hadley is looking forward to Auntie Julie’s next visit!”

Justin was great with our dogs. Lots of time outside walking and he took good care of our home. He's communicative too. We've already rebooked with him.

Brenda took excellent care of our two dogs. She sent daily pictures, was very responsive, and left our house in better shape than we did. She exceeded our expectations and I'd gladly use her services again.

I can not say enough great things about Rebecca R! They take amazing care of all of my animals and their daily communication is so comforting and important to me. Highly highly recommend!!!

Very competent and diligent. A pleasure to work with and a secure feeling to have Julie in our home. Our first-time experience with a Rover sitter, and it was most gratifying. The two 'boys' loved her.

We had a truly wonderful experience with Rover and our sitter, Summer. She provided thoughtful, thorough updates, shared frequent photos, and cared for our pets as if they were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We’re already looking forward to having Summer visit again soon and are so grateful for the care and attention she gave our furry family members!

Great job taking care of our cat and home! Everything was handled per our instructions. Jessica had great communication.

Paige was amazing! She was proactive and found things to do to be helpful while we were gone; we were really impressed! Our pet was happy and healthy. Would definitely recommend.

Kayla is totally awesome! We were so thrilled she began live-in care, she had done drop in visits and care of our two elder cats four years ago and we adored her then, but when those two passed and we adopted two youngster kitties, we wanted a live in sitter. We discovered Kayla was doing live-on now! She is so excellent, caring and kind, communicates incredibly well and took wonderful care of our kitties and home! Totally terrific!
