“Jenny was absolutely amazing. She came over for a meet and greet and brought both the cats and dogs treats. They instantly loved her. She is very responsive and very good with animals. My two dogs and two cats sat at the door after she left waiting for her to come back. She sends daily updates and took such great care of all of my four-legged kids. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants their animals to be well cared for. Thanks again Jenny!”

“Susie is wonderful. Communicative, thorough, and thoughtful. Cared for our apartment as well as our pets. Cat got her twice daily oral medication and dog got pets and walks. Will book again if I can. Thanks Susie!”


About: Hi! I'm Sofia, a pet lover who enjoys providing care to all animals and helping people in whatever ways I can. I understand the importance of trust and reliability when it comes to looking after your fur babies whether you're planning a vacation or simply needing to spend some time away. I ensure the safety of your home and pets and provide warm presence in your home that truly makes a difference. I have over 3 years of pet caregiving and dog walking since 2023 and I'm excited for the many more years to come. Daily and weekly care is a central part of my life owning 2 beautiful cockatiels. Every day, I prioritize giving my pets the attention and care they deserve. I’d do the same for your pets from providing morning walks and playtime to meal preparation and health checks. My schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to adapt to each pet's unique needs and ensure they always feel happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I maintain a familiar and comfortable environment. I follow their established routines, including feeding schedules, exercise, and playtime. I ensure their safety, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep your home the way it is. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities.
“Aurora was truly a gift having her dog-sit our precious girl Sadie. She was caring, responsive, gave many updates throughout the long weekend and made me feel at ease while I was away knowing that my dog was in good hands. Thank you Aurora. You are top on my list for future dog-sitting needs.”

“Lauren was super kind and sweet toward our dogs. Thankful to have her spend a couple weekend with them so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She followed instructions left and sent almost daily pictures of our loves. Would book her again!”

“Trina took incredible care of our dog Dolly, taking things like the weather into consideration and also keeping in constant communication with us. She left the house spotless and even tidied Dolly’s toys up.”

“Sophia took care of bobo for a day while we had a family outing, the comms were great -she was very sweet with taking care of him and was very attentive to our concerns for his routine. Sophia is going to be our regular sitter !”

“Amy is the best dog sitter we could have asked for. I pride myself on how much I take my dogs on adventures but Amy even surpassed what I do for my own dog! Amy took my dog on numerous wonderful adventures while sending me amazing pictures from their adventures. When Amy left she left a gorgeous hand drawn picture of our dog. I recommend Amy to anyone with a pet that they like and want to leave in good hands. 5 stars. A+ dog sitting! Will hire again!”

“Natalie was so great!! She was very kind and flexible and even left the house clean. She sent me lots of updates of the dogs and followed all the instructions. This was my first time having someone I don’t know watch my dogs and she was fantastic!”

“Andrew was great! He was attentive of Timon and updated me on how he was doing throughout the day. Timon chomped down on a Christmas light and Andrew was quick to respond to get it out of his mouth and put the pieces where he couldn't get them. Will definitely reach out to Andrew again!”

“Sahil was an amazing dog sitter! He was very responsive and communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave us great peace of mind. He took wonderful care of our dog for a few days, and it’s clear that he genuinely loves and understands pets. The best part was seeing how happy and relaxed our dog was when we returned, which really showed how well he was treated. We would absolutely trust Sahil again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

About: Hello! I’m a dependable pet sitter with a strong attention to detail and a genuine love for animals. I have experience with daily care, feeding schedules, walks, and administering basic care as instructed. I take pride in being punctual, communicative, and respectful of both pets and homes. I’m currently a homebody, so I will be able to devote most of my time and attention on pet care! I should be free anytime if given advance notice. I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm environment with close supervision and personalized attention. I’m happy to send updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I’ve been lucky to care for dogs, cats, and bunnies through every stage of life, from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve also pet sat for others for extended periods of time, including 4 to 6 weeks at a time, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I care for each pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and comfort level so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, all dog sizes, and pets who need medication or a little extra attention. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, cuddly, independent, or in their senior years, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and never alone. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting based on your pet’s needs. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and companionship. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I know it can feel stressful to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I do everything I can to make the experience as smooth and reassuring as possible for both you and your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. Whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, litter box care, cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure their needs are met with patience and attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and keeping their routine familiar helps them feel secure while you’re away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. Some pets love lots of interaction and play, while others prefer a calmer approach and need time to build trust. I’m happy to adapt my care to what makes your pet feel most comfortable and relaxed. Safety is extremely important to me. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, and home access, and I always double-check that pets are secure before entering or leaving the home. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or anything else that may be important, and I’ll communicate with you promptly if I notice any concerns. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, comfortable pet and have complete peace of mind knowing they were cared for with kindness, responsibility, and genuine affection.
“Rose did an excellent job watching our two doodles. Both of them are a bit of a handful as one is a senior with incontinence issues (he needs regular outsides and diaper changes) while the other is younger and requests regular attention. Rose arrived on time, she made sure both dogs had regular breaks and she shared lots of pictures. We will definitely work with her again.”

“Kiana stayed at our home for nine days to watch our dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was a long time for us to be away, especially from a pup with separation anxiety and health issues that require medication multiple times a day, so we needed someone truly exceptional. Kiana was even better than that! She is incredibly detail oriented and follows every instruction with care. Our house was clean and well looked after. But what really sets Kiana apart is how deeply she cares. Knowing our dog struggles with new people and stressful transitions, she not only came for an initial meet and greet but proactively offered to visit again so he could feel completely comfortable before the long stay. Throughout her time with him, she sent photos and updates that showed just how relaxed and happy he was. He was genuinely loved and perfectly cared for, and honestly, I think he is bummed now that she is gone! We will absolutely be requesting Kiana’s help again. Highly recommend!”

“Samantha was amazing! This was our first time leaving our pup for more than a few hours, and she set our minds at ease immediately, and our dog loved her from the start. She is incredibly kind and professional, and totally gets our dog’s idiosyncrasies!”

“Esther watched our 9 year old dog in our home for 10 days. From our first messages it was clear she was kind and responsible. She engaged well with our dog and took great care of her. We got daily updates about how things were going and notes about anything we might want to monitor. She also took respectful care of our home and even initiated to ask how she could be helpful before our late arrival back home. We came back to happy, healthy pup. We were grateful to thoroughly enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was so well cared for. We will be recommending Esther to our family and friends.”

Baylands pet parents share their Rover experiences
We just got back from our trip and couldn't be happier with how everything went! This was our first time booking Alex and we were a little nervous leaving our two dogs, Blush and Shadow, but any worry disappeared quickly. We came home to happy, well cared for pups and a home in perfect condition. Alex was attentive, reliable, and clearly gave them so much love. We could tell right away that the dogs had been in great hands. We'll absolutely be booking again for our next trip highly recommend! 🐾
Katelyn is a superstar sitter! It’s hard to come by sitters that go above and beyond than what we ask of them and that is her. You can 100% put your whole trust in her with your fur babies. She follows all of the instructions given and follows up on them. She also cleaned up our house and now I can come back and just relax. I also got daily updates and report cards and I was able to go on my trip and relax knowing that my baby was in great hands. Katelyn is the only sitter I will be booking because she was that amazing! BOOK HER NOW!!!!
Jennifer is incredibly kind and genuinely cares about animals. She is also very responsible and communicative. She sends regular updates with photos and videos throughout the day, so we feel connected even when we’re away. The house is always spotless when we return — she keeps everything very clean and tidy, way beyond what we expect. She’s reliable, professional, and truly a joy to work with. If you’re looking for a trustworthy pet sitter who treats your home and pets like her own, look no further. Jennifer is the best! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Tatyanan was incredible kind and supportive throughout the whole process. I had never used Rover, let alone a pet sitter. Before even booking with her she came to meet my cats and I and walk me through the process. While I was out of state for my fiance's surgery, she went above and beyond to make sure that my cats were taken care of, regularly sending pictures, and that the place stayed clean from pet messes. I greatly appreciate Tatyana and would absolutely book her again! Thank you Tatyana!!

We are thankful for having met Dixie and for her expertise in handling two elder dogs. One who is usually very anxious when we leave took to Dixie with no problem. Looking forward to future sitting from Dixie. Thank you so much and we felt our furry family members were in good hands.
