“I highly recommend Jenni L. She and her partner Matt work together, and for this visit, Matt stayed with our beloved cat for several days. I cannot say enough about how reassuring it was to hear from him and see the pictures and videos that he sent of our cat and of the two of them together. Clearly, she loved him and felt very comfortable with him. We will definitely hire them again!”


About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and cats, and now having two rescue dogs of my own, I just can't imagine life without them. I haven't used Rover before, but I've spent years watching friends' dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. I've raised puppies, cared for kittens, and even handled medications when needed, so I'm no stranger to what animals need to feel safe and loved. I come to your home so your babies can stay in their own space, in their own routine. Every animal is different and I take the time to get to know them. Big or small, they all get the same gentle, attentive care. I just genuinely love animals, and that's something you'll see the moment I meet your pet. I'm always happy to set up a meet-up before booking so we can connect, your pet can get comfortable with me, and we can make sure it feels like the right fit for everyone I recently graduated from Arcadia University with my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies. While I study for my boards and prepare to move back home to Washington, I have time on my hands and want to spend it doing something I truly enjoy. Right now my days are completely open, which means your dog gets my full attention. No rushing off, no squeezing them in between a busy schedule. I'm there as long as they need me. As the mom of two very needy rescue dogs, I completely understand wanting your babies to have someone around as much as possible, and right now, I'm in a position to give exactly that! Since I will be in your home, my first priority is to respect whatever routine and rules you have in place for your pet. I am happy to provide as much or as little entertainment, snuggles, or space as your fur baby needs. When it comes to walks, I'm no stranger to dogs that pull on the leash or get reactive around other dogs. I've handled strong, reactive animals before and I feel confident and calm managing them.
“Michaela took excellent care of my dog and cat while we were away. She took the time to meet us beforehand, provided thorough updates and we came home to happy pets and a clean apartment. Thank you, Michaela! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs, and worked briefly in an animal shelter, caring for dogs from newborn puppies to seniors, responsible for their daily care and enrichment. My job ends at 3:30pm, allowing me flexibility in afternoons and evenings, while being totally free on weekends to tend to any dog or cat. As the seasons change, so do my hours, allowing me more availability for bookings. I have knowledge on animal enrichment and training, and know how to handle different pets with all different temperaments. I know how to crate dogs, walk them, and bond with all sorts of dogs and cats.
About: I have helped care for my family’s dogs and cats since I was a little girl, and my love of animals has grown deeper into my adulthood. I have experience training puppies basic obedience commands, and I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I am excited for the opportunity to care for your family’s pets! I am a full-time special education teacher, so I am available and ready to play with and assist your pets in the evenings on weekdays and any time on weekends. You can count on me to create a caring, positive environment for your pet. I am comfortable and willing to provide your pet with food and water, exercise/walking, cuddles, playtime, and more! I am happy to fulfill all of your requests when it comes to caring for your pet.

“Renee was awesome! Super prompt, easy to communicate with, and really detail-oriented. She took great care of both my home and pup, and everything looked exactly the same as when I left. I’ll definitely be booking her again”


“Macey was MORE than we expected for our furbaby! Went the extra mile every day, sending frequent photo check ins and stayed in contact with us regularly. Our pup absolutely loved her, and we’ll be booking again soon! A+ 5 Star service is what you’ll get when you book with Macey! Can’t recommend her services and true professionalism enough! Thank you, Macey for putting our mind at ease knowing our furbaby was in the right hands!!”

“Best experience, she above and beyond. recommended 100%. will have no problem going away again as long as Dalynn is available. she made our week away and fury friend stress free. great communication.”

“Rebecca was great! She came for a meet and greet and was very friendly. We felt safe leaving our pets and our home in her care- she was also very responsive to messages and sent updates. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been enjoying helping my kids care for their dogs and cats creating a strong bond while having so much fun with their dogs and cats. I have a flexible schedule to care for pets while providing a safe environment to stay in and keep to their schedule like their own parents with me. I have a fenced yard under my supervision and have fun playing with my own pets! Any suggestions that your pet needs will be appreciated in order to create a bond and trust while you are not there will be perfect to make your pet’s and your day!
“Jonaika is a mature, kind, responsible and communicative young woman. She stayed in our home with our two dogs for a holiday week, and provided loving and consistent care. She has a warm temperament which dogs loved, flows instructions, and cares for pets with great accountability. I highly recommend Jonaika for any pet sitting situation.”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends’ dogs throughout the past few years. I provided whatever they needed whether that was feeding, walking, or playing. I’m currently working a part time restaurant job that never ends later than 10:30 pm. So I will have plenty of time to take care of pets overnight and during the day. I provide reliable, attentive care in my client’s homes by following routines, offering playtime and affection, administering medications as needed, and keeping owners updated regularly.
“When we got home after 5 days away, I swear our dog was disappointed to see us instead of Shanisa! I received daily photos and videos with updates of our dog and cat while we were away, and she was very communicative leading up to and throughout her stay. She will be the first person we reach out to in the future when we need a house/petsitter!”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner since the age of five and currently share my home with two lovable dogs, Nelly and Thanos. They enjoy welcoming new furry friends, and we truly believe the more, the merrier. As someone who travels often, I understand how reassuring it is to know your dog is in caring, reliable hands. Dogs have always been a constant source of joy in my life, and I treat every pup as if they were my own. I’d be honored to care for and spoil your fur baby while you’re away. I do work full-time. However, my schedule is really flexible which allows me to spend quality time with your fur baby as well as my own. There will be plenty of time for outdoor and indoor play which will get us ready for some nighttime snuggles. I have a fenced in yard and I watch my pets as well as yours to ensure safety. In addition, I can crate your dog, if needed, but I have two friendly fur babies that enjoy other friends.
“This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone outside of my family for a trip. I and my pups (especially Papas) were nervous. However, Rachel was super understanding and patient! She consistently communicated throughout the entire process. Eventually my pups were feeling more comfortable which was super helpful as I had multiple flights canceled due to a snow storm. Thankfully, Rachel was gracious enough to extend her stay! I felt such an ease of mind knowing that my animals were safe and sound with her especially during a snow storm. Would definitely recommend and utilize again!”
Brookside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cole was not only incredibly responsible and responsive, but he was also extremely friendly and personable. Our dog is a bit of a handful, but he handled every situation with grace and understanding. He also did additional cleaning after house sitting, which was very appreciated. Highly recommend Cole and we will be using him personally in the future for all of our pet sitting needs! 💕🐶

Leonora stayed in our home with our two pittie mixes who can sometimes be a bit of a handful. She was absolutely amazing with them, sending regular updates and even noticing when Ellie’s allergies were acting up. The house was left even left better than when we left! I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to book her for house sitting again!

Faith jumped in last minute when our usual dogsitter needed to cancel. She made time to come over and meet s’mores within 24 hours. Faith sent regular updates and always replied quickly when I reached out. She left the house in perfect condition. Would 100% recommend!

Madi did a great job watching my baby Kai, as a nervous dog mama who doesn't leave her dog with many, I felt at ease with Madi taking care of him. She communicated with me as well as sent me pics of my pup throughout the time I was away. I would definitely recommend her and use her again on the future!

This was Sarah‘s first time watching my 14 month old pitbull puppy who is a handful to say the least. Sarah kept me informed over the weekend and left my house immaculate. Super grateful I can go away and not worry about Gracie. Already have her scheduled for two other trips this year!

Keira was our dog/cat sitter for a full week while we were in ireland. She's also walked our dog weekly prior to that. We cannot say enough good things about her! We got daily photos and updates, our animals were in fine fettle upon our return, and our house was spotless. A+ for Keira!

Abby did a fantastic job house sitting and taking excellent care of my pups! I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was responsible, caring, and kept everything in great shape. I will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you so much, Abby!
Vinny did an excellent job taking care of our pets and house while we were away on an international trip! He left the house better than he found it - I was very impressed by his thorough cleaning and obvious caretaking of our pets. I don’t think our fur babies even realized we were gone! I would absolutely recommend Vinny for anyone interested in house+petsitting.
