“Mary stayed with our 6 pets and managed our home very well when we traveled for a week. We got lots of pictures and videos and our pets were well cared for. I can definitely recommend Mary for your pet care and I will use her again next time we have need.”
“Nexsy was incredible. She helped on short notice and still snuck in a meet and greet. Polite, kind, and very understanding of our dogs. She went above and beyond during the time she spent with them by doing some helpful behavioral training. We felt they were in safe and capable hands. Highly recommended!”
“EJ is absolutely amazing! She watched my deaf pit mix and terrier mix while we were on vacation over the holiday weekend and she was excellent, they love her! Never had to worry. She is experienced, caring and thorough. Will definitely book with her again! Thanks again EJ! :)”
“Haley is just the best. She truly understands both my dog’s needs and mine! She knows the breed well, has taken the time to learn his quirks, and manages him with love and care. Her communication is always clear and effective – she keeps me updated on how my dog is doing and lets me know about any issues on at the house. I always feel at ease knowing Haley is taking care of him.”
“Julissa was wonderful! We have a lot of pets and she handled everyone with ease. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again! Thank you so much!”
“Robb has been working with our girls for the last few months leading up to a bigger trip we just returned from. He really helped keep our minds at ease with constant updates and was always reaching out for ways to help our anxious babies feel better. He really did care! We have many tedious tasks that we ask of sitters and he completed them all without complaint. We will definitely continue to use his services in the future and highly recommend.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Samantha as our dog sitter! She was incredibly professional and responsible throughout her stay. Samantha took excellent care of our two older dogs, Karma and Bailey, providing daily pictures and updates that gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She made sure Karma received her nightly medication and handled it with care and confidence. Samantha also went above and beyond in keeping our home tidy—cleaning up after the dogs in the yard and even starting a load of laundry with the bedding before she left. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets’ well-being. We highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Erin did a great job taking care of our dog and house. Our dog was healthy and happy when we returned home and our house was exactly as we had left it. We hope Erin is available the next time we travel.”
“I used Adara for an overnight stay with my 2 pups. I came home to a clean house and happy pups! Good communication while I was away and lots of pictures. Will definitely use her again!”
“Thank you for communicating with me throughout your stay. I’m really glad to have feedback on how my dog is doing and what additional support I need to give him. I really look forward to you sitting with him again.”
“Kaitlynn was amazing! My dogs have special needs and their care instructions are very specific. She kept their routine and did perfect! She gave my dogs much love and attention. She is the only sitter I would trust with my dogs. After I got back home, I asked one of my dogs (she uses button communication) if Kaitlynn was nice and she said yes! 🐾”
About: Hi there! My family owned dogs my entire life. My brother and I both cared for all of our childhood dogs/pets. My grandparents raised Fidelco dogs and as I would spend my summers with them, I was always exposed to these amazing little guys. As a teenager I would spend my summers home with our two family dogs. In my early college years, I dog sat for a couple of my mom's previous work friends, sometimes for a week at a time. As an adult, I raised my parent's dog from a puppy and currently own a dog of my own. I've also owned other pets such as cats, birds, and hedgehogs. I love to cuddle and play! I have lots of love to give! I'm the crazy lady you see talking to their dog while they walk them. So if you're dog is a good listener and loves cuddling, petting, and fetching, we'll be perfect mateys! I’m a children’s librarian and have a bit of a weird schedule. I work one night a week and one Saturday a month. I’m a single dog mom and have the flexibility to stay with your pet or possibly have your pet stay with me. They just have to be ok with a cranky old dachshund! I can walk your dog before work (8 am) or after work (5 pm) or any time on weekends. I’m very careful with peoples pets. The decisions I make for my own dog isn’t what I will make for someone else’s. Your pet is your precious baby and I will treat them as such. I follow the rules and guidelines set out by the owner and if I’m giving the green light to, your pet will be SPOILED. Car rides, couch snuggles, and outdoor adventures!
About: I have owned one cat for 15 years until her recent passing. I own 3 big breed dogs currently, wether you need drop in visits, walks, play time or overnight care I'd love to help you! Experience with small and big breed dogs. Currently I am in school so I am available most of the day, I am also available at night or weekends. Please feel free to reach out to me. I'd love to care for your pets in your home or give them a walks throughout the day. Play time, love and care for your animals is a definite.
About: I have experience taking care of big and small dogs, shy and friendly cats, as well as aquatic life like salt water fish and turtles. I work from home full time so I am more than available to bring my work with me to house sit on occasion as well as use my lunch breaks to take your dog on a walk. I am good at following directions no matter how bizarre it may be. The safety of your pet especially in their own home is my top priority.
About: I’ve been around dogs all of my life and cared for them for 4 consecutive years on my own while juggling life. I understand the ups and downs of taking care of animals and I carry no judgment! I am looking for something to keep me on my toes! What’s better than hanging out with animals! Making your pet happy makes me happy. Depending on the schedules provided by my clients and insights about their pet as well as depending on my previous knowledge to make sure your pets are loved and taken care of while you’re away.
“I truly cannot say enough good things about Audrey! We were very nervous leaving our dog Kaya for the first time with someone whose not family for our wedding weekend but Audrey took all those nerves away the first time we met her! She was so sweet and good with Kaya. She sent us so many pictures and updates throughout the weekend and it made our wedding weekend that much more enjoyable knowing Kaya was in good hands. She took excellent care of our home and our pup! Audrey will 100% be my first call the next time we’re planning a trip anywhere!”

Alexandra R.
“Alexandra grew up with dogs always in the home - anything from a Rottweiler to a Chihuahua. This also included being involved as part of a foster family to German Shepherd puppies that were going to be used as guide dogs for the blind. She took responsibility at a young age to take care of dogs (feeding, bathing, vet visits, etc.) and it has continued into her adult life with adopting her own dog from a shelter. She loves her dog and any other dogs she may meet in her daily life...she doesn't mind dog kisses either!!”

Brightwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our chocolate girl was loved the 6 days we were gone. When she first met Matt she was so chill, laid right down and was so comfortable with him. With in a few seconds I knew she was going to have a great time. He stayed with her in her home and was a very clean house guest! Thanks again Matt! I highly recommend you!
Georgia was great during her 32-day house and pet-sitting stay. I can't recommend her enough. We felt completely at ease leaving our home and dogs in her care. She's trustworthy, communicates well, and clearly knows what she's doing with pets. Our dogs are usually off their game after we've been away for a few days, but they seemed totally normal when we got back. The house was well taken care of and exactly as we left it. We'll definitely book Georgia again and suggest you do the same if you get the chance.
Julissa was great! We had a family get away, and Julissa took care of our clingy frenchie, and our 7 year old yellow lab granddog. We were nervous, as our frenchie puppy has never been away from us. When Julissa sent her first photos, I could see both dogs were very happy. When we arrived home there was no panicked, frenzied welcome, they were both content yet happy to see us.
Can’t recommend Audrey more! This was our second year in a row hiring her while away on summer vacation - she’s such a great person, communication is stellar, our dog Maisie loves her and she also took great care of our home while we were away. Thank you so incredibly much, Audrey! You’re the very best!
We booked Haley to house sit with our senior dog Reba. Haley was thorough in getting to know Reba and her needs starting with a meet and greet prior to scheduled dates. We received pictures and updates daily. Haley was accommodating in helping us water plants, collecting mail. Haley went above and beyond while she stayed in our home and we would definitely rebook
