“Heather was amazing!! She took such good care of Mac, left our home in great condition and communicated proactively. Also, we were so appreciative that she provided care for the weekend short notice (less than 24 hrs). Highly recommend.”
“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”
“Megan was great house sitting with our young dog. She came to meet him prior to accepting the appointment, arrived on time and kept us informed with pictures throughout the day. We were very pleased.”
“Bradley was the perfect pet sitter. He was communicative and responsive and treated my home with respect. He sent frequent updates and pictures of my cat. He even helped out when the cat went missing unexpectedly, offering to look for him and lending a cat carrier. I will be using Bradley again for sure and I recommend you use him for your pet needs too!”
About: I grew up always having a dog. I know how special they can be and the attention they deserve. I'm always happy to help pups get the best care possible. I have many free days to devote to pets. I am available on short notice and always happy to help out to make things easier on your animals. I have experience with dogs that roam the house as well as crate training. I also know how to handle an invisible fence versus a solid one as well as leads.
“Amarissa was great with my cat Luna - staying with her and sending me regular updates and pictures which I appreciated very much! She left our home very clean and Luna seems happy and healthy.”
“Sydney was just wonderful with my pup! She stayed the night with him and gave me great, detailed updates and videos… made sure he was well cared for and got plenty of attention while I was gone. I would not hesitate to hire her again,”
About: My first cat was way back in 1992 when a pregnant cat adopted me. She lived in the apartment next door with 4 other cats, a single Mom and 2 little girls. She would visit my apartment daily, also scoping me out, because she had future plans. Soon after I was the proud Human Step-Mom to Mama cat and her 5 kittens. That started my love for the feline species. I've always owned and loved dogs since my childhood. My first dog's name was Rusty, a smart and gorgeous Golden Retriever. I had tanks full of fish, multiple birds (Peanut could talk-he was a Green Cheek Conure), and often cared for my daughters ferret, Franklin, when she went on vacations. No pets are off limit ..... except snakes and spiders. Willing to administer meds. Currently I am doing pet care full time so I am available just about 24/7. I do have pets at home so I would need to take some time to attend to their needs during the day as well. I currently have both a dog and cat living with me so care outside of my home is preferable. I'm available almost all day and can stop in whenever necessary.
“Allie was wonderful! We had her do house sitting while away for a week. She was tidy in the house and so responsive to any communications. Dependable and trust worthy. She took great care of the pups and spent a lot of time with them. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking!”
“Frankie and hit it off from the very first moment of the meet & greet, so I felt fine leaving Cinnie in her care. We received a bunch of photos and short videos so we didn't miss our girl while we were gone. And when I returned Cinnie was happy, the house looked just as I had left it, and I now have a new option to call upon the next time we will be out of town and I need coverage for Cinnie. Well done Frankie!”
“Alex did a great job with Chip while I was out of town. It was clear he gave Chip lots of attention and gave him plenty of exercise. Alex was also very communicative and provided great updates!”
“Daniel is always great with Luna and I appreciate all the updates given throughout the day even when he was not feeling very well. Thanks again!!”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—whether it’s for a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some extra playtime. With a calm, caring approach and a love for all animals, I’m committed to keeping your pet happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. You can count on reliable updates, attention to detail, and plenty of tail wags! I currently work full time as an emergency room technician at a local hospital. I would love to spend my days off with your animals! When caring for pets at their home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given lots of affection—just like you would. I also keep their environment clean and safe, whether that means refreshing water bowls, scooping litter, or tidying up after playtime. I provide updates with photos so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands.
“Thank you Kenedy for watching our three dogs while we were away! Kenedy was amazing with the dogs. She was also so respectful of our home. She washed the dog food bowls before leaving! I previously did not have a good experience with Rover, but Kenedy has changed my mind and I’m super glad to have this positive experience! Thank you!!!!”
About: I have actively been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager, and in doing so I have worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and dog of different ages. My manner of minding focuses on building a connection with the dog while uniquely understanding the breed and the specific needs they may need met. I'm very active and thus great with dogs who are looking to get in shape or have high energy levels. I have experience working with dogs who have been abused or neglected and re-socialising them. My home is large enough for multiple dogs of many sizes to be comfortable in as well as a short walk away from multiple parks. Both mornings as well nights are currently available Monday-Sunday.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and I doubt that will ever change! I’m very gentle and like to take a soft approach when meeting with new furry friends in order to establish a basis of trust that is important for their best comfort and care. I am also quite flexible handling pets’ individual needs and go out of my way to ensure they are met. I’m currently on break from grad school, so my schedule leaves much open time for daily walks and quality companionship, as well as boarding on the weekends! I also live very close to a beautiful park with many walking paths and open greenery that I would of course be happy to show your pup :) I like to keep a clean home environment that would be comfortable for any furry friend, and I strive to respect the homes of any pet that I care for in the same way.

Steven D.
“Between conducting independent research and working towards a PhD, I unfortunately found myself very busy and thereby unable to make time to walk my dog. Steven Dang was recommended to me by a friend who had been in a similar circumstance, and so I went ahead and contacted Steven with the offer to walk my dog during the evenings when I would be away, and that I of course, would pay him. Steven was very professional, answering my e-mails in a timely manner, being punctual for our initial and subsequent meetings, and never failing to meet my expectations. In fact, I was worried that my dog would end up loving him more than me, but I digress. As my friend did to me, I highly recommend Steven Dang for this job. Polite, charming, and an extremely hard-worker (he never failed to miss an appointment no matter the weather), I am utterly grateful towards Steven for making my life easier and walking my dog.”

Allie was amazing!! I was in a serious emergency bind and needed someone right away and she was totally willing and understanding and went out of her way to help. She took amazing care of my kitty with special needs and always kept me updating and it super sweet and great to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough!! Thank you so much for everything Allie!
This was Merissa’a second time overnight sitting for us. Just like the first time, she was responsive and responsible. Both our pets and our home were well taken care of. I loved receiving lots of updates, photos, and videos while we were away. Merissa is very thoughtful and communicates what she would want to know as a pet parent away from home.
We couldn't be happier with our decision of booking with Myia. We were gone for 11 days and didn't really want to kennel our super anxious chiweenie Fred for that long, so we decided to try the housesitting option through Rover. Myia did an amazing job keeping an eye on our apartment as well as taking care of the forementioned Fred. I know that really helped him as opposed to being kenneled by himself for almost 2 weeks. We highly recommend Myia, and will be looking to her for assistance again in the (very near) future.
Ashley is always amazing with Lola, but this time she went above and beyond—she noticed Lola straining to pee on my first night away, which led to an evening trip to the emergency vet. She kept me informed and handled everything with intelligence and compassion. Not the way either of us planned my week away, but Ashley made sure Lola was expertly cared for.
What can't I say great about Monica! She did a fantastic job with our two Frenchies while my husband and I were away for the week between Christmas and New Year's! We were worried about finding a pet sitter that would not only be available that week but also stay overnight for the week in our home, so it was so great when I came across Monica's profile. Monica responds to all messages very quickly. She came over our house for a visit before we left to meet the pups so they could all get to know each other. Monica sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the week on how they were doing. Teddy is 4 years old so pretty self sufficient but Gus is a very active 7 month still learning not to put everything in his mouth he finds and also learning to take the stairs in the house so he needed extra attention. Monica did great caring for them and all their little quirks. She was also very respectful of our home and everything looked great when she left. We will be definitely using Monica again. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
Evan is a very nice young man who cared for my 6-year old dog in my home for 12 days while I was away. My dog has some medical issues and requires up to 3 medications on a regular basis. Being an anxious pet mom, I gave Evan very detailed written instructions and he was appreciative and attentive to them. He had no problems giving my dog her meds as instructed and kept her safe and content throughout my time away. He reassured me about how well she was doing regularly and I came home to a happy dog. Evan clearly loves dogs and exhibits confidence in caring for them.
