“Jen house sat and watched our two cats while we were on vacation for a week. She took great care of our cats and kept in touch with photos and updates, which gave us confidence while we were far away from home. We will rebook Jen again and recommend her to anyone needing their pets cared for.”
“Nicki is my go-to sitter now as she is extremely reliable and my rescue pup seems completely comfortable with her. Highly recommend (just not on the dates I need her, please, lol)!”
“Skye is a wonderful pet sitter! I had to leave town for a family funeral and she made everything so much easier to manage. I came home to two very happy pets (our dog Sammy and kitten Sage) and a clean house! Skye checked in often and sent pictures while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter that goes above and beyond!”
“Lawrence took great care of our dog and house while we were away— would definitely recommend him! Our dog is often anxious around new people but she liked him pretty much immediately.”
“Tess was amazingly helpful with my dog, Boston!! He is a big dog with a lot of energy and I always worry that he might be a lot to handle for anyone coming over, and this was my first experience using Rover. Everything went seamlessly and I couldn’t recommend Tess enough!!”
“Maya was great! We reached out to her two days before we left on our trip when another sitter cancelled on us due to a family emergency. Maya stepped in and saved our trip! She even made time to come meet our dog ahead of time that same day. She took great care of our dog and house and sent lots of updates.”
“Sits stayed with our cat while we were out of town and was absolutely wonderful. She shared plenty of pictures and communicated with us throughout the trip. She even trimmed our cat’s nails which is no easy task. Looking forward to having her watch our pets again!”
“Autumn did such a wonderful job with our pup! We recently rescued her and she can be very anxious with strangers, but she warmed up quickly to Autumn. We were worried leaving her at home for the first time but were quickly reassured by the photos and updates Autumn sent. 10/10 would recommend her!”
“Tiffany is fantastic with my dog. He loves when she comes to visit. She is responsive and sends tons of pictures and updates. She takes great care of my dog and makes it less stressful when I have to leave him. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Olivia provided excellent care to our dog while we were away. She followed the schedule and all care instructions. Travel plans were delayed and Olivia was willing to assist past the duration we had booked her for! Thanks again!”
“Jenna is absolutely the best sitter we ever had! Our dog Scooter loves her so much. Not only is he a big energetic dog, but he needed daily medicine at specific times and she was very attentive with that. She kept updating us throughout the day! She stayed at our house as well and was very trustworthy and respectful for our things. Definitely will be using her again and again! She's a great find!!! Thanks!”
“We had a great experience with D’Andra, housesitting our dog Oscar and 2 cats. This was my first experience with house sitter for my pets and D’Andra came highly recommended from few of my friends. She remained true to her reputation, professional, responsible and pets were well taken care of throughout her stay. We cannot be any more grateful for her loving care to our beloved pets.”
“Megan is a very responsible and reliable dog sitter. She stayed with my puppy for a weekend and did a great job. It was such a relief to know that my dog was in good hands. Frankie bonded with her and was sad to see her leave. I would have her sit for Frankie again without hesitation.”
About: I started house-sitting for a friend of the family in my early adulthood. I started doing this multiple times for the same family (him and his wife had two cats), and eventually word got out that I was the go-to "house-sitting guy" and I started getting asked to house-sit by several people I knew. Over the past ten years I've probably house-sat a few dozen times—sometimes for a few weeks at the same house. I clean up after myself which is probably why people keep asking me back. I treat every house like it’s my own—or, honestly, better than my own. I mostly have experience taking care of cats—however, I have taken care of a few dogs (one of which had been rescued from an abusive previous owner). I have experience giving medication to both cats and dogs as well. I'm single guy and I can work remote some. I take pet-sitting seriously and coordinate my schedule around it. I have pet-sit in St. Louis and I've pet-sit in Chicago and I've made it work. I only accept house-sitting assignments I can handle and give 100%. I take the time to read and consider all of your instructions. Like I mentioned previously, I coordinate my schedule AROUND pet-sitting and not vice-versa. The pets come first, and my life comes second. If it isn't going to work, I don't take on the assignment. I am reliable and have many references who can vouch for me.
“Kartik was responsive and provided plenty of updates throughout his stay. My pets were well taken care of and the house was perfectly kept while I was gone. Would definitely recommend!”
“Julia was amazing! We had her house sit and watch our two dogs! She was great at communicating and sending pupdates! They seemed have and content when we got home! Would highly recommend her!”
“Allison was our first cat sitter to also stay in our home, and we are so happy we found her! From the moment we submitted our request in Rover, Allison was terrific in her communication and warmth. She immediately offered to come meet us before we completed our booking, and this gave me comfort given I’ve never had a house sitter before. Our cat really needs human interaction and love, and Allison definitely provided that and more. We returned home to a very happy boy and a very organized place - maybe more organized than when we left! We will definitely book Allison again for our next trip.”

Porter is EXCEPTIONAL! Pebbles ADORES him! I read on here that he was very dependable (which was the biggest thing I was looking for). My experience with him was that he’s very dependable, he’s very dedicated to my pet’s care and safety, he kept my home clean, and I came home to a very happy pet. I could tell she had so much fun with him! I could not have asked for a more positive experience. Thank you, Porter!
Jacqueline takes wonderful care of our dog and special needs cat. During a very scary medical event for our cat (no fault of hers), she was communicative, compassionate and quick acting. We were very comforted to have her taking care of our beloved cat during the time. She is also very respectful with our home and sends lots of updates and photos. Highly recommend.
Please do not hesitate to have Mariama watch your pets! She stayed the night and watched our two dogs, one of which is very fearful and anxious. Mariama was very patient, communicative and sent pictures and videos. We will definitely contact her again! 10/10!
Jenna was wonderful! She accepted my last-minute request and took such great care of my dog and home. She was kind, respectful, and very communicative throughout the stay. I really appreciated the photo updates. It definitely put me at ease knowing my dog was happy and well looked after. I’d certainly book with Jenna again!
