“Jennifer was absolutely AMAZING with my 2 kitties. She spent so much time playing with them and loving on them while I was away. She left detailed messages on what happened during the visits and sent me plenty of pictures and videos! I felt so relieved and relaxed to have her watching my kitties. Never worried once. 10/10 recommend!”

“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.”

“Marsha is complete magic! One of our dogs wasn’t eating and having accidents before we left to go out of town for a long weekend. By the time we got home Taco was consistently eating his meals and had NO accidents while we were away. Marsha is a super communicator and sent loads of photos. We could see how happy our dogs were with her there. We already re-booked with her for our next trip! Absolutely fantastic dog / house sitter!”

“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!!”

“D’Andra is wonderful. She responds quickly, is flexible, sweet, sends picture and video updates, and is great with our dog! She made sure our house was clean and tidy, which was above and beyond what we asked for. We know our house and dog are in good hands with her!”

“Julia is the best! This was our second time booking her and she hasn’t disappointed. We got lots of pupdates and they were very happy when we got home.”

“Cara was absolutely the best house sitter for our Mabel during our recent vacation. She is attentive, dependable, kind, and organized. This was our first time using Rover house sitter and we couldn't have been more happy. Knowing our dog was in great hands made such a difference in our vacation and peace of mind. I don't know how we got so lucky to get Cara, but we are so very thankful for her! Simply outstanding service!”

“Reka is not only incredibly professional, but so observant and my pets absolutely loved her! She always sent pictures and videos, and always reached out if there was a problem with anything! Highly highly recommend to hire her for any pet services, but especially overnight!”

“I want to start by saying I am very grateful for Skye. I usually do not plan last minute, but I had a change of plans right before my trip. I originally only booked for home visits, but Skye advised that Pet Sitting would be more beneficial. That made a good impression on me because it showed me she was passionate about what she does and that she cares about the well-being of my dog as much as I do. She provided excellent communication about my dog, including daily pictures. I felt at ease, and I was able to enjoy my long-awaited vacation. Onyx and I look forward to seeing Skye again!”

“Autumn was great! She house/dog sit my house over a long holiday weekend. She was very communicative and sent daily pics of my dog while I was away. She even left the house cleaner than it was when she came. Would definitely book her again!”

“Jeena was pretty amazing... lots of pics of our 2 pups while we were gone for 8 days. She took great care of them while staying at our house...Lots of treats, play time and snuggle time. She cleaned up after herself as well including doing the laundry of the towels and sheets and took out the trash. Will definitely request to have her come back the next time we need someone to watch our 2 boys. Thank you Jenna :)”


“Ashely did absolutely amazing with Winnie! I could tell our pup had lots of fun and was well taken care of, and we got lots of pictures and videos of our baby throughout the week!”

“Tiffany was a wonderful sitter for our dog Nessy! She met with us ahead of time to meet our child which was great, and during the stay she checked in with pictures and updates about how Nessy was doing. Nessy is not an easy dog to walk, especially for other people, but she seemed to do great with Tiffany. Definitely recommend her if you need a dog walker and/or sitter!”

“Liz was lovely with my guys! She clearly gave them a lot of love. She brought my dog on walks to the park, which he very much enjoyed from the photos she sent. We will definitely be reaching out again and I'd recommend her to others!”

“Becky was so easy to communicate with and kept me updated with texts and pictures. The house was clean when I got home and she even cleaned up the poop in the yard!”

“Super grateful to Theron and Alx for being able to help me out last minute. They are adorable and I felt very comfortable with them. My girl was happy when I returned and I will use again !”

“Whitney was the absolute best! She sent me videos and picture updates of my dogs every time she was with them. I would definitely recommend Whitney for anyone needing a dog sitter!”

“So grateful! She did an amazing job with my quirky dog. Followed all care instructions perfectly. Loved all the pictures and updates. Will definitely book again to housesit.”

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 plenty of dogs, too (one of which had been rescued from an abusive previous owner). Other specialized pet care I'm experienced with: Administering insulin shots (cats) Administering oral medications (pills) to both cats & dogs Reptile care 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.
“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.”

I would give Sits 100 stars!!!!! She was so amazing with my monsters-they love her! And Sits takes the most wonderful photos-so much better that I do (lol)! What can I say other than she is amazing and I can't wait to have over again :) THANK YOU, SITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She was absolutely fantastic. Had her watch our pup for 8 days straight at our house. She gave us tons of updates and pictures and asked questions when needed. Thank god Emily is so patient because our dog gave her a really hard time. Also our house was clean when we got home! Will use her again for sure if she isn’t booked up.

Reka is not only incredibly professional, but so observant and my pets absolutely loved her! She always sent pictures and videos, and always reached out if there was a problem with anything! Highly highly recommend to hire her for any pet services, but especially overnight!

Sapna was amazing!! She asked lots of questions, was very communicative, and followed all our instructions. Ducky uses a halti head harness, and it sounds like she had no problems using it to walk him. She took great care of him and left the apartment in great shape! 10/10, we definitely recommend her!

Laura is an absolute superstar and treated our pets like they were her own. She was extremely communicative and gave us plenty of updates and photos of our pets during our time away. Laura is a pro at what she does and we would absolutely book her again without hesitation.

Miriama was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of Sadie and Stella — everything went smoothly from start to finish. I really appreciated how communicative she was, sending regular updates and photos so I knew the girls were happy and well cared for. The apartment was just as I left it, and both dogs were relaxed and content when I got home. I’d definitely love to have her watch them again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!

Brianna has always given our pets and home the best care while we travel. Our animals trust, and love her like family. We can go out of town knowing our animals and home are in great hands. I can’t say enough nice things.. but just don’t use her when we need her lol jk

Callie was wonderful! She was super responsive and communicative, sending us updates and photos throughout our trip. We came back to a happy pup and a clean apartment. When meeting her for the first time before our trip, we could tell it was going to be a great match. Callie is friendly and professional. We knew Finn was in great hands!

Ross was great! All of our pets were well taken care of the whole time we were out of town. Our dogs are very particular about their routines so it was great to find someone who could stay with them all weekend. We’re definitely making Ross our go to sitter when we leave town.
