“Sophia is a wonderful addition to our pups lives! They love her & spending time with her! They are excited when she walks in our door. She house sits with our fur children while we are traveling and is amazing! She watched our two dogs & my grandog for our travels. The house was well cared for as were our babies!

She is truly exceptional!”
“Michaela was wonderful! She took the best care of my boys. I got pictures daily and sometimes multiple times through the day. She kept in the know and really just loved the boys the way they’re used to. She was a true blessing. Will be using again for sure!!”
“This was our first time using Rover.com and we were nervous leaving home and pups in the care of someone we really didn't know. Plus we'd never left our dogs with someone they didn't know. But Burgundy was amazing. She kept in touch with us with both reports and photos and didn't hesitate to ask a question about the dogs. We returned to find our house looking like we'd never left and the pups in great shape. Thank you Burgundy!”
“Alexa was incredible house and dog sitting for us! She took amazing care of the house and the dogs loved her! We even had issues with our house while we were gone and she handled it all so well, letting contractors in and out to fix things and keeping us updated along the way. We are so thankful we found Alexa and would definitely recommend her :)”
“McKenzie came on short notice to stay with the pups and did a wonderful job. She sent pictures and updates throughout and kept them company during a thunder storm. Would highly recommend her!”
“This was my first time leaving my doggo with strangers but Blake seemed to understand my anxiety around it. He responds quickly and professionally to questions and sent pics several times during the stay. My pup was so happy when I got home and clearly well taken care of. My home was also as clean when I returned as when I left. Highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 14. I have been responsible for walking, dog sitting, and have helped with puppies all the way to dogs who are 10 years old. I am currently a Junior at the U of A and I think dog sitting would be perfect for my routine. I think being able to pick my schedule would be very helpful. I also miss my dog at home and so being able to work and also be with dogs sounds like the perfect job. I am able to visit your house 2-3 times a day to help let your dogs out and feed them of course. I can also stay the night if that is helpful. I love going on walks myself so if you need someone to just take your dog on a walk I would love to help.
“Sophie was our first sitter thru Rover.com, she stayed with Rosie while we were out of town over a long weekend. Sophie did a meet & greet in advance and we could see it would be a good match. Communication was easy and prompt .”
“Madelynn did a great job staying with Kal. He got plenty of exercise and playtime, and was in good spirits when I got home. She also communicated well and took good care of the house. I'll definitely be asking her to watch him again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have experience with my pet rabbit for two years. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe and loved. I’m allergic to cats, so I specialize in dog and small-animal care. I’m flexible with my schedule and can adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs. I’m happy to provide care mornings, evenings, weekends—whenever it works best, especially for higher-paying opportunities. I keep pets comfortable by following their usual routine—feeding, playing, and hanging out—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Hattie was SO wonderful with our boys! We have a giant schnauzer and a miniature schnauzer who are sometimes particular about who they enjoy being around - but Hattie was fantastic with them! She wanted to meet with us beforehand to make sure she wasn’t a stranger to them when she came to stay with them which was a relief to us. We got pictures and updates throughout the evening which was fun for us. We will 100% be booking with Hattie in the future and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced sitter!”
“April made my trip so much more relaxing. She went above and beyond to check in and let me know how my pups were doing the entire time I was gone. I will be using her again and again. And highly recommend her for any of your pup needs.”
“Kam did a great job watching our pups. We have one dog that’s very aggressive so it can cause some complications. She was able to keep our dogs safe and happy. I would absolutely recommend her.”

“Priscilla is responsible, loving, and caring, in general, but especially as a pet caregiver. She stayed with my two dogs, while we were on vacation, and gave them the best care that a pet owner could hope for. We knew our dogs were safe and well cared for with Priscilla. She is a diligent, trustworthy, and compassionate. Priscilla will make sure your pets are treated to the love, care, and affection we all know they deserve. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a pet caregiver.”

Hallie J.
“I’ve had the pleasure of having Hallie pet sit for me on numerous occasions, and I truly couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional level of care she provides. From the very beginning, Hallie has shown a remarkable sense of responsibility, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals that immediately put my mind at ease. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure my dog is not only well taken care of, but also happy, comfortable, and engaged while I’m away. It’s evident that she treats every pet as if they were her own—offering affection, playtime, and thoughtful attention to detail that makes all the difference. Every time I return home, my puppy is calm, content, and clearly well-loved. In fact, I often joke that my dog gets spoiled when Hallie is here—which, honestly, is the best reassurance any pet owner can ask for. I can’t recommend Hallie enough to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and truly dedicated pet sitter. She has become someone I completely trust with my furry family member, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have her help.”
