“Ashton spent 8 days homesitting our two babies Frankie and Dixie while we were away on vacation. She texted us daily with pictures and updates on how things were going. We were pleased with her service, especially with her staying at our home with our babies. She took care of our babies and our checked the mail daily. Will use her again on future trips.”



“Amy was fabulous! She arrived exactly on time so we could make it to our event with plenty of time. She was friendly and so sweet to Journey. We were so comfortable leaving our dog with her so we could enjoy our wedding in a strange city/state where we knew no one who could dog sit. Thank you Amy and Rover!”


About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet parent to Heathrow (Golden Retriever), Bear (Flat-Coated Retriever), and Peaches (Golden Mix). Caring for my own pack has taught me how to handle all kinds of dog personalities with love, patience, and fun. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, or snuggles, I’ll treat them like one of my own! As a full-time student at MGA, I keep a flexible schedule and plan my days around caring for my three dogs—Heathrow, Bear, and Peaches. Daily walks, feeding, and playtime are already part of my routine, so caring for other pets fits in naturally! Whether in my home or yours, I care for pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I stick to their usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—while keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I focus on building trust with each pet so they feel right at home, wherever they are.

“Sabrina is so sweet! I was kind of skeptical about having someone I didn’t know house/dogsit, but Sabrina made me feel super comfortable about the whole process. She sent pictures of our dog several times a day to put my mind at ease. Came back from our trip and our dog was safe & happy and the house was just like we left it. I highly recommend Sabrina!”


About: I am a passionate pet lover with a lifelong fondness for fluffy friends. While lacking formal experience, my genuine love for animals, nurtured by caring for my childhood pet and assisting friends with pet sitting, ensures a compassionate and reliable companion for your fluffy family members! 🫶🏾 I had a cat named Aspen for about 10 years as a child before she sadly was hit by a car. 😞 She was the most unique colored cat I’ve ever seen to this day and I miss her dearly. After Aspen passed away, my parents didn’t and still doesn’t allow us to buy/adopt another pet. 💔 Because of this, any chance I have to interact with an animal, I will take it! Once I found out about this app, I RAN to apply and got accepted quickly! 🥰 My parents do not like animals in the house, but after some hard convincing lol— they allowed me to watch my bestfriends dog for a couple a weeks as well as one of my other friends cat which we kept for 4 months because she went abroad! 😝 Although I personally do not have a pet myself, because of my relatives, I’ve always been around a range of different animals! 🐾 My boyfriend has had a pekapoo for as long as our relationship lol (3 years so far) which I always care for when I’m visiting him! 😊 He knows how I desperately long for one of my own therefore he lets me take care of her when I visit… which is very often. 😆 While I may lack formal professional experience and currently don't have a pet of my own due to circumstances beyond my control 😔, my deep love for animals, nurtured by cherished memories of Aspen and countless experiences caring for friends' pets, fuels my unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care for your furry family members 🙌🏾. I understand the importance of trust when it comes to entrusting your beloved pets to someone else's care, and I am here to alleviate any concerns or questions you may have 🫡. With me, your fur baby will receive nothing short of attentive, compassionate, and reliable care 😊. I would be honored to be entrusted with the well-being of your beloved pets, so please don't hesitate to reach out and book with me! Your furry friend's happiness and safety are my top priorities!🔝🫶🏾💕 I currently have a part time job where I work Monday from 2-6 and Fridays from 10-2. I am also a college student but I only have in person classes Tuesday and Thursday mornings. If you are willing to work around those obligations, I’d be more than happy to sit for you! 💗 I have a big yard for playtime and nice neighborhood for walks. I like to keep things as tidy as possible especially when I’m someone else’s home.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful puppies to wise senior dogs.

I will be working full-time on weekdays during the summer, but I’m still fully available for weekend bookings. For weekday care, my boyfriend—who also loves animals and has experience caring for pets—will be available to help with drop-ins, walks, and check-ins. Together, we make sure your pets are well cared for even during the workweek! If your pet needs extra attention during the day, I’m happy to work out a schedule that ensures they get all the love, walks, and snuggles they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—from feeding times to walk schedules—so they feel secure and comfortable. I keep water bowls fresh, give plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they get all the care they need, whether that’s cuddling on the couch or giving them space to relax.

“Absolutely the best provider I've ever used on Rover. I booked with another sitter that turned out to be a nightmare and 4 hours after dropping my dog off with them I picked him back up by then it was midnight and I was scrambling to find someone to help as I had a business trip in the morning. Bethany was a lifesaver. Bethany responded almost immediately to my request and was able to do a meet-and-greet at 8:30 in the morning. She quickly returned allowing me to make my trip. She sent incredible pictures of my Ricky looking happy as is clam with his tongue hanging out. There was even one picture where he was looking at her lovingly. It actually made me a bit jealous. 🤣 The Rover platform should be filled with Bethany's because she is the epitome of what pet parents are looking for. Not only did she house sit with Ricky the entire 3-day booking but she took amazing care while staying in my home. It goes without saying, that I am a repeat customer. I will be booking her for regular walks with my Ricky. I will also be booking her for all of my business trips and hope that she is available. If I could give more than five stars I would. Highly highly highly recommend.”


About: I’ve taken care of many pets before; however that has been exclusively for family and friends. These pets have ranged from massive dogs to little pups, and I have loved every second. Currently out of school for the summer, and I have plenty of free time to take care of pets this summer. Any time works fine for me. I spend as much time as I can with my pets, and make sure they’re healthy and comfortable at almost all times whether that involves taking them on walks or making sure they won’t ever go hungry. They are rarely left alone for more than a couple hours.
