“Our home & animals were well cared for and the place was left in better shape than we left it. Daily pics and happy animals. We’re sad Kaitlyn isn’t staying in the area for long because we’d definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by and taken care of animals since I was a toddler. I grew up with all sorts of animals in the home from Guinea pigs and bunnies to dogs and birds! I’ve pet sat on occasion including dogs and cats as well as chickens and horses! I’m currently self employed and am taking on work through Rover to support my business as I’ve experienced a transition with work over the past few months. This makes me very flexible during the week and weekends. I want to provide an experience that makes you feel comfortable and your pet cared for when you aren’t able to be there. Creating an environment that reflects the care that you give your pets is my priority as a pet owner myself.
“Tatyana is a reliable and caring sitter. She stayed at our house with our 11.5-year-old German Shepherd and provided excellent care, and tremendous peace of mind for us. Having worked at a kennel previously, she is comfortable around all types of dogs (and ours is a big boy). She sent periodic updates and followed our instructions well. We highly recommend her for short or extended care.”
“It was so nice to know we had a reliable, kind and experienced pet sitter! Amy took care of our two dogs, cat, and gecko and sent great pictures during her stay. We were lucky to have her!”
“Alex was awesome! She was very nice and attentive to detail. We really appreciated her good communication and updates about our cat throughout our trip. We would definitely recommend her and use her again!”
“Our most trusted sitter. Our pup loves him! He gives him lots of exercise and attention. Whenever I'm out of town, Nate is the first person I think of to watch my dog. Can't recommend him enough”
“Louis and her family took good care of my dog. He seemed very happy the entire time and enjoyed their company. She made sure to send lots of pictures and check in too.”
“Askley dog sitted at our house for the weekend. She was very responsive to initial inquiry as well as continued communication. She was professional yet very friendly and asked appropriate questions about our dogs . Our dogs are quite a handful but she developed a fast relationship with them. She sent pictures and brief update daily. So glad we found an amazing caregiver thru Rover!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life which convinced me to get my own dog a little over two years ago! I really enjoy taking dogs on walks and adventures around town. My dog is black and has thick fur so it definitely depends on the weather where we end up going on a walk (whether there is water or a shaded area). I also enjoy taking dogs to the dog park if they enjoy other pups. I can watch small dogs and big dogs (who might pull the leash a little harder). I am a teacher currently so I have the summer to have a chill job that’s flexible for my needs and other peoples needs as well. I will treat your pets as if they were my own. If you have a schedule where you need to let your dog out every other hour I can help out. I can also do something more chill where they just need to be fed early morning or late at night. Taking trips and being busy is part of life so I will help ease your stress about your little fur babies schedule.
“Abigail was incredible! She sent so many photos and videos while I was gone, I knew my cat was in excellent hands so I could enjoy my vacation. My apartment was spotless when I came back and she was super flexible when I needed to change the time I was coming home. I would 100% book again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every size and breed since I was a 14. I grew up in Alaska so there were more safety concerns when taking animals out for their walks. I know to take great care of your furry family member. I’ currently working from home and volunteer coaching volleyball. I would love to take your dog on daily walks to the coffee shop and ensure that they will receive lots of love and attention! There is an open space dedicated at my apartment for dogs to do their business and I have a closed in patio if they need some fresh air. I have no problem crating your dog if needed but I wouldn’t mind letting a pup on the couch!
“Katie took excellent care of our dogs and our home. We felt very comfortable with her and the dogs took to her right away. She took them for walks and sent pictures too! Thank you Katie!”
“Mallory has been amazing! She has watched my dog twice now and each time has gone very smoothly. My large dog is very sweet once you know him but has a protective streak that can make initial meetings difficult. However, Mallory instantly put him at ease and clearly knows when to give dogs space and how to best approach. My dog loves her and I always feel comfortable leaving him in her care. 100% recommend!”
“Allegra was AMAZING at pet sitting our dog and cat while we were gone for 5 nights. She sent updates and phots as often and was great at communicating. We returned to happy and healthy pets. I felt very confident leaving my somewhat high needs cat with her. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Alina was so sweet and professional! I especially appreciated her attention to detail and quick responses. It's always nerve-wracking getting a first-time sitter, but Alina made it easy. I would definitely recommend her!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Travis - he is so responsible, conscientious, and fantastic with our dog. We have had him sit for us a few times now and will continue to request his services as often as possible! Our house gives him two thumbs, and two paws up!”

Alaina is a fantastic dog sitter! Our two pups are always so excited to see her and enthusiastically greet her at the door every time she arrives. She spends quality time playing with them in the yard and clearly cares about their happiness and well-being. Alaina is also an excellent communicator, keeping us informed about timing and any needed adjustments while providing thoughtful options when plans need to change. We appreciate her reliability, flexibility, and the genuine care she shows our dogs. Highly recommend!
Seanna was responsive, reliable, and took excellent care of our rambunctious 6 month old Great Pyr/Retriever puppy while we were away for a week. We have already sent another booking request for a future trip. I recommend her to anyone looking for a considerate and skilled dog and house sitter. Five stars.
We just got back from a trip and Brenda was our house and animal sitter. She always takes such great care of our pets (1 dog and 2 cats) and our home. I cannot say enough good things about her. We have already reserved her for our next trip. Thanks so much, Brenda!
Robert couldn’t have been better! He took great care of my high-needs pup and she made it through our longest getaway just fine. She was given multiple walks per day and plenty of outside time. We also received at least one picture per day to show the kids (which made them very comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking him for my next trip.
We've never had anyone watch our cats except for family. I was extremely nervous, but after reading Abigail's profile, and watching her interact with our cats at the initial meeting, I knew I had found the right person! Abigail took lots of notes and asked tons of questions to make sure she had all the information to not only cat sit, but stay in our house for 12 days. Both cats immediately took to her like they were long lost besties. We were out of the country, but I received multiple photo's and video's every day so we never felt like we were so far away. The people we were traveling with were impressed with the number of pictures, updates and video's we received. Somehow she even got the picky eater cats to eat more than they do during a normal day. If I ever need someone to care for our pets in the future, Abigail will be the first person I look for!
We were delighted with all of our experiences with Manu and how she cared for our dog, Bella for four days. Manu doesn’t just love dogs! She is knowledgeable about dog health, behavior and training as well as being very perceptive about a dog’s needs. Even before Manu started, she made sure that she had all the information she needed. Then when she had a question she spoke with our contact person. Then while we were away, she sent us s wonderful stream of photos of her playing with, walking and exploring with Bella. Bella was clearly very happy about being with Manu when we picked Bella up. We all feel confident that we left Bella in good hands and hope to work with her again.
