“Marie was our first Rover booking and house sat our 2 dogs over the wknd while we went to get married. Naturally we were a little worried, however Marie was very responsive prior to even booking and answered all of my questions and concerns. She showed up on time and was ready to even show up earlier in the morning if needed. She was so sweet and pleasant and responded back to me within minutes whenever I would check in. She also would send pictures of our happy dogs so we had absolutely nothing to worry about! When we got home, our house was just as we had left it and our babies were well taken care of! We highly recommend Marie and will be using her again in the future!”


“Mark took great care of our dogs while we were away. He has extensive experience working with dogs, which made us feel confident that they were in good hands. Everything went smoothly and the dogs seemed happy and well-cared for when we returned. We appreciate his professionalism and would consider booking with him again.”

About: Hi there! I’m Caitlin, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember 🐾 Growing up, our house was always full of furry friends, cats curled up in every cozy spot and dogs ready for every adventure. Taking care of animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly enjoy making them feel safe, loved, and happy. whether that’s through playtime, belly rubs, or just being a calming presence. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I’d be honored to be that person for you. I treat every animal like my own and make it a point to follow your routine to help your pet feel right at home even when you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks or your kitty just wants someone to keep them company, I’m here for it all 💕 Let’s make sure your pet feels all the love (and gets all the treats)! I work full-time in an office during the day, but I’m available before and after work, as well as for evening visits or overnight stays if needed. Hi!

“Taylor by far has been the best in home pet sitter that we’ve ever used. She loved on our dogs like they were her very own. She always updated us with how they were doing and sent lots of pictures. Our pups liked her so much that have booked her again for a week in July. Highly recommend her!”

About: I was a vet tech for a year and have been pet sitting for friends and family for the last theee years now! Dogs, cats, all the cute babies are welcome! I currently work Tuesdays and Thursdays-Saturdays. My typical hours are about 7 hours a day and 4 hours on Saturdays! I'm always off Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday! I will follow all rules given when dropping by your house or walking you babies! If you like to leave them treats you can just let me know and I will be sure to give them allllll the loving and attention while I'm there!

About: Animals have been part of my life forever. I’m experienced with walks, belly rubs, shots, and meds (for pets, not people!). My own crew is calm and welcoming, and your pet will be treated like one of the family—couch privileges and all. Expect love, laughter, and lots of tail wags! I am only gone a maximum of 3 hours a day. Many days I am home all day. I am a “stay at home” mother of a 4 year old boy. I have a small crate available if needed, plus two friendly resident pets—a Yorkie and a charming black tuxedo cat—to keep your furry friend company. My spacious, fenced-in backyard is perfect for playtime, and yes—pets are welcome on the couch! Calm pups can even sleep in bed upon request. I also monitor food carefully to keep everyone happy and healthy.

About: Hello, my fellow fur baby lovers! I am an experienced dog and cat owner and caretaker. I have grown up dogs and cats since I was a child which I was always responsible for the training and exercising of them. I have even trained my 15-year-old kitty to not jump on counters and be near food when she was just a baby. So, whether you have a puppy, kitten, teenager fur baby, or a senior pet; I will treat them with love and care while their humans are on their adventures. They will be taken care of by me until you get home for more cuddles! I am currently working only part time, so I have plenty of time in my schedule to check in or stay with your fur babies! I have a fenced area in my back yard that pups can use for potty and play. When I am house sitting, I will coordinate with every single owner with how their fur baby needs to be taken care of just like when their humans are taking care of them!

“Kealey was absolutely amazing with our dog while we were away. She sent daily updates and pictures. She gave us peace of mind that our pup was well taken care of. We will definitely be using Kealey in the future 😊”


“Kristen did an excellent job with taking care of our two dogs and home!
