“Priscilla was absolutely fantastic with our boys. They're prone to mischief, and not surprisingly Priscilla found some. She handled it by first letting us know immediately, and then even cleaned up the mess the boys made by tipping over one of our plants. Communication was excellent, and the boys were clearly comfortable with her caring for them. I recommend Priscilla unconditionally.”
“Nikki was a top notch last min find for me and my boys…she was quick to respond, and eased my anxiety by meeting me and my pups before my drop in to ensure everyone was comfortable with each other. My anxious dog was very quick to warm up to her which proves to me she has a special way with 4 legged friends. She was attentive and gave lots of snuggles to my little buddies. Would def use her again”
“Hey, I just wanted to give a big shout out to my new pet sitter Madeline I have an old big GreatDane named Murphy Usually, I can make it home for a little break midday to let him out, but work has been crazy lately.I always feel bad that he might be stressing about going out to the bathroom midday. So on a whim, I started researching Rover Sitter’s I really thought it was going to be a process I figured I would reach out to one or two sitters a week and do some meet and greets So I found Madeline on Rover and, she looked kind and caring, and I liked the reviews from legitimately caring pet owners So I reached out to her on Friday, she got back to me within seconds, and suggested that we meet on Saturday Wow, never thought it was going to be that quick I thought I’d have to wait and wait and wait for responses So we plan to meet and greet and I told her that my house was a little hard to find, and GPS always messes everybody up I explained to her what my house looked like Come Saturday, she arrived early, explaining that she wanted to make sure that she found my house I was impressed that somebody was very considerate of my time She came in my house and she was very calm and spoke quietly to him , which is exactly what he is used to I explained my concerns to her and how he was getting older and I worry about him. She had told me how she just recently lost her 13 year-old dachshund, and she understood how hard it is to lose a dog , I was thinking in my head , her dog must of had had a lot of love and good care if it live to be 13 years old so fast-forward to today when she did the drop in visit She sent me pictures, and she sent me a “ Report Card” She told me that she took Murphy outside and then they came inside and she just sat on the couch with him, and petted him and talk to him. Well, that’s exactly what I would’ve done with my old man. I don’t have to look any further and I don’t have to interview any more people because Madeline is the one! I appreciate her sensitivity, her promptness, her pictures, and her report card Thank you, thank you so much, Madeline, you are the best and I appreciate you so much”

About: Keeping your pet safe and happy is the number one priority. Puppies who need to upkeep training while you’re away is no problem, dogs who need a little (or more) extra care or those seen as “difficult” are welcomed! I adhere to any medical requirements and concerns while your animal is in my care. Having a young dog myself with mobility issues I understand how daunting it can be to leave care with someone else but I assure you I will give them the attentiveness they deserve ***Please note: I DO have a dog and when necessary I split up the home to provide a happy and safe environment during the stay*** ***Please note: I live in a 2 bedroom TOWNHOUSE. There is no enclosed yard*** I work 5 minutes away from my home and am able to pop in at least once if need be during the work day and WFH 1 day a week (SAT) I am also off 3 days of the week (SUN, MON & FRI). I am a homebody and don’t often leave the house if I don’t need to, so I am home majority of the time. I have a medium-large sized crate if your pup needs it. I have a room the dogs can play in with all of their toys and sleep in for the night to feel safe and keep them out of any trouble. I also have a back/balcony with an enclosed gated area for air and sun time (I remain outside with them the entire time for safety)

She answers so quickly whenever I reach out, is so reliable, a pro at dealing with my apartment building's annoying key situation and she always leaves the litter box area cleaner than I left it.

“Jewels is always so well cared for when I have Trebawan visit, I can travel to see my human family with great ease. Thanks so much. Nancy and Jewels.”
About: I have taken care of many kinds of dogs since I was 13. Neighbors, Family and friends have trusted me to stay over their house to watch their dogs and cats. Or just come by throughout the day to feed them and give them love while they have been away from home. I am a college student that is home for the summer with completely open availability throughout the week. Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 9 pm. (can be changed depending on the time you need) You can trust me to take care of your pets as if they were my own. I’m respectful and responsible, always mindful of your space and privacy. I understand how important it is to feel secure when someone’s in your home, and I take that responsibility seriously ensuring that your pets are safe, happy and loved while keeping your home just as you left it.
About: I am a regular dog sitter for many people. I wanted to be able to lend my love for animals to others. I currently own a rescue pit, but have owned smaller dogs as well. I dog sit many different breeds and have become very familiar with them! Additionally I grew up with cats, ranging from feral fosters to indoor, and have great experience with them as well. I have watched numerous cats and love them! I am currently working part time and thought, why not do something I love? My schedule is vary to change, but I can almost always do Sundays, Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays during the day. At my home my dog gets walked at least for an hour each day. If I were to walk/watch somebody else’s dog, it would be completely up to the owner and their needs.
About: I love animals! I’ve always had at least one rescue dog in my house growing up. I’ve cared for family and friends pets for the past 10 years. I feel that I can read animals accurately and sense what they are feeling. Pet care is woven into every part of my day. Since I have a flexible work from home schedule throughout the week, I am able to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Walks are scheduled around each dog’s energy level and routine—whether that’s a morning stroll, a midday outing, or an evening wind-down. I’m able to quickly adapt to each pet’s needs, provide potty breaks, meals, and playtime without rushing, and keep communication open with pet parents. Your dog isn’t just a quick stop in my day—they’re part of my daily rhythm. I have one friendly dog of my own, we love to walk to a nearby park and play outside. I have my own vehicle for transportation and tons of energy to keep your fur baby happy.

Sarah H.
“Nothing is harder than finding someone to take care of your pets while your family is away. Thankfully, we have always had Sarah to watch our two dogs and one cat while we are gone. Sarah is absolutely wonderful with all three animals and has created special relationships with each one. She is responsible and tends to their needs, and she is also caring and nurturing. She takes them for walks, plays fetch in the yard. Her strong bond is obvious by my dogs' responses when they see her, and she is one of the few people my cat will come out of hiding to sit with. She loves animals and she's particularly knowledgeable about dogs, often keeping me informed of the do's and don'ts such as what is best to feed them and not to feed them. I would recommend Sarah to walk or care for any pets.”
Olivia M.
“It is my pleasure to write this testimonial for Olivia Mike. Olivia has cared for pets her entire life. While I might describe her current dog (Dozer) as the love of her life, she has also lovingly cared for fish, turtles, cats and several other dogs. She is attentive to all pets' needs. Whether it be nutrition, grooming, medical care, socializing, exercise or just attentive love, she does not miss a beat. I truly believe she speaks the language of animals and is in tune with creatures of all kinds. Olivia's spirit is kind, generous, intuitive and intelligent which I believe is largely the reason animals connect with her, and connect with her so quickly. I am assured that all of my cat's needs are met (and he is not lonely) when she pet sits for him on my multiple vacations every year!”
Sydney L.
“This was our second time booking with Sydney and we had another great experience. She has great communication, would definitely recommend her to watch your pets!”

Another great experience! Cheyenne is so thoughtful, caring, and detailed with our Emma. It’s truly wonderful to know Emma is in such caring hands.
Fiona was super patient and kind with our timid little dog! She was also very accommodating to our schedule changes. We will definitely book again. Thank you, Fiona!!
Felicity took amazing care of my kitties while I was away on vacation. She is incredibly punctual, attentive to detail, and made my time away so much more relaxing because I knew my cats were in great hands. I had complete peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. I will absolutely be using her again for future trips. 10/10 service — I highly recommend her!
She did a wonderful job eith my cats. They did hide on her but if I had her a few more days I am sure they would have liked her. If there is ever a time when I need a cat sitter again, I will hire her again
Kimberly is fantastic she made sure my two kitties were well taken care of while I was away. I knew my cats were in very good hands when she met my cats for the first time. She makes home grown catnip and treats. She’s also very knowledgable with animal nutrition and their health. I will definitely be using her services again.
