“Amy has done a great job taking care of our two cats and our house. This is the third time she's stayed here, and we plan to hire her again. She clearly loves cats, and we can tell our guys like her too.”

“We were leaving our puppy alone with someone for the first time since we got him, and Anastasia made us feel good and confident about that! She was thoughtful, accommodating and loving towards my dog, and I appreciated her communication with me throughout the day!”

About: I have lived with dogs since I was born, mostly larger breeds (German shepherd, golden retriever, huskies) and now have a cat too! Love animals! I work from 10am-5pm everyday but have most afternoons free and also can help out during the weekend! Can also pop by during lunch if it's a short enough distance! I have experience taking care of friends dogs, both crated and uncrated and can arrange for whatever is best in my apartment! My cat is also very dog friendly but can stay in a separate room if needed.
“Eleanor did a wonderful job looking after our two cats while we went away for a few days. We came home to happy cats and a clean house. While we were away, we received consistent communication and pictures of our kitties to let us know all was going well. We highly recommend Eleanor for house and pet sitting!”

“Olivia is great! She was very communicative throughout the booking process and even accommodated a last minute request. Olivia warmly greeted my puppy and took her time to introduce herself to him as well as become acquainted to what his needs would be for the evening. I was very confident that my pet was in good hands and would work with Olivia again should the opportunity come up!”

“Victoria did a great job with Freya (who can be very shy and anxious with new people). She kept me updated with pics and texts throughout the session. I would definitely trust her to watch Freya again!”

“Annmarie took care of our cat and senior dog over a long weekend. She was responsive and responsible, and sent regular updates. We look forward to having her care for our pets in our home again.”

“Caitylin was awesome taking care of Sasha. We recieved multiple updates and she was flexible and follow Sasha's schedule as we asked for. We definitely recommend her for house sitting services. She is reliable and responsible. Our Sasha seems to miss her already.”

“Aubrey was great! She saved me when I needed someone last minute. My dog was super happy and got plenty of exercise, and the apartment was left better than I found it. Will use again!”

“Cannot recommend Caesar enough! He took such great care of both our pup and home, stayed in constant contact and was extremely accommodating with our scheduling changes. Will definitely book him again and again!”

“Zilalai is a 5-star pet sitter! She took excellent care of my cats and my home. I appreciate that she read the instructions and kept the pets on their usual schedule. Zilalai was also very reliable. She went above and beyond by handling a blizzard and an unexpected plumbing issue with ease. She also left the house tidy. I am hoping Zilalai can come back to cat sit again during my next trip. With Zilalai on the job, I can truly relax and know the pets and house are in good hands. Thank you, Zilalai! 😻”

“Audrie stayed with my kitty for a few days and she was absolutely wonderful. She is super sweet and communicated well, sending pictures everyday. I would definitely use her again!!”

“Natalia did an amazing job house sitting with our dog!! She communicated with us the whole time while sending plenty of pictures and videos! Our dog was anxious when we first left and she calmed her down and they became best friends quickly. I already booked her again for our next trip!”
“The best! Tater always has such a good time. Sunny always checks in with us and let us know how he’s doing….And leaves her house in perfect condition. Very thankful to have found her.”

“This was our second time having Shelby stay in our home to watch our dog, this time for a long trip abroad for 2 weeks. She took fantastic care of our dog and of our home while we were away. Shelby was super responsive, very respectful of our space, and clearly cared and loved our dog while she was house and dog sitting. It’s great to let our dog stay in a space known to him and we even had numerous neighbors reach out to let us know how good Shelby was with our dog. We will definitely be asking her to watch our dog again in the future!”

“Kairecia was amazing. She was so wonderful with our cats and rat and truly was an incredible help. Her communication is incredible and her ability to adapt to different pet personalities is truly an admirable quality. She even got our super shy kitty to come and hang with her toward the end! Thank you so so much for everything!”

K was so excellent!! They were flexible, wonderful at communication, kind, and trustworthy. It is hard to have a stranger in your home, caring for your pets… K put all those fears to rest. My giant, anxious dog and wild cat were in great hands with K. They took care of them, loved them, and were so patient, especially with my dog’s anxiety. Thank you for being the best and we can’t wait to have you again!
Ally was amazing! My pet sitter cancelled last minute and she was able to house/cat sit for me while I was away. She was truly wonderful - great communication, amazing care, and she sent lots of pictures while I was away! It’s always hard leaving my cat behind but Ally made it easier because I knew Gracie was being loved and taken care of!!

We left our pup with Masi at our place for 5 nights. He’s diabetic and needs two shots a day, she was able to do them with no issues. He is also very anxious around new people and seemed to warm up quickly. She took good care of our dog and our house while we were away. Would book again!

Aly was amazing. She treated our dog Bella like she was her own. She communicated every day and provided us with updates which put our worries at ease. It was our first time using Rover and we have found our go-to sitter. Do not hesitate for a second to book her for services as she was an absolute pleasure. Thank you Aly!!!

Abhinav was a godsend for us during the recent break . He took such good care of Tinkerbell and handled a minor injury she had with such care and grace and kept us informed throughout. He kept the house in pristine condition and Tinkerbell was clearly fond of him. We would absolutely love for him to come next time we are on vacation

We’ve now had Maddy watch Buster three times, that’s just how good she is! When she first met him to see if it would be a good fit, she brought treats for him and was so soft with him he instantly warmed up. I couldn’t recommend her enough, she’s the best we’ve found on Rover. She goes above and beyond to make him feel extra loved while we are away, and she’s really great at sending updates!
