“Natalie was so attentive and kind to my little one! She stayed in touch with me in my absence. My chi is very offish to almost everyone, but she took to Natalie right away. I couldn’t be more pleased and will definitely ask her back!”


About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years and truly love caring for animals of all kinds. With plenty of experience, I understand how important it is to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, flexible with scheduling, and always willing to work with you to meet your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, medication, or just keeping your furry friend company, I’m here to help! I work a full-time rotating schedule where I’m on for 7 days straight and then off for 7 days. My work week always starts on a Thursday and ends on a Wednesday. During those 7 workdays, I’m working full-time each day. After that, I get a full week off to rest and take care of personal things. It’s a repeating cycle—7 days on, 7 days off—so every other week I’m either working or completely off I pet sit because I genuinely love what I do — and animals love me back. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. When pets stay with me in my home, they become part of the family. I make sure every animal is well-fed, always has fresh water, and most importantly — plenty of playtime and affection. They get a safe, loving environment where they can relax and feel right at home. When I care for pets in your home, I follow all instructions to the letter — from feeding and medication routines to special care details. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Respecting your space and your pet’s routine is always a priority. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m staying with them, your pet gets the same thing: love, attention, and top-notch care.

“We’ve struggled finding a pet sitter for a long time that we could trust in our home and care for our fur babies and that has all now changed with Susie. We had the pleasure of hiring Susie who truly goes above and beyond in caring for our fur family and our home. From the first meeting, it was clear that she had a genuine love for animals and a commitment to providing the best care possible. While we are away, she keeps us updated with regular pictures and text messages which puts our minds at ease. Susie takes time with our fur babies and even spoils them with popsicles which they love. Beyond just pet care, Susie takes great care of our home, she tidied up, brings in our mail and even washes the bedding. It is a wonderful surprise to come home to a clean house (which is tough with 3 Golden’s), happy fur babies and the extra special touch of fresh flowers. We are grateful for the peace of mind she provides and will definitely continue using her services! We highly recommend Susie for anyone looking for reliable and compassionate care for their fur babies! Thank you for everything!”


About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 7 years and also work at a dog boarding place, so I’m super comfortable with all kinds of dogs—puppies, seniors, big or small! I’ve given meds to older pups, done bath time, and taken dogs on plenty of long walks. I also house sit and make sure pets feel safe and happy while their people are away. I have dogs of my own, so I get how important it is to have someone you trust. I treat every pet like family! Caring for pets is an big part of my daily life. With my work at a dog boarding facility and my pet sitting duties, I am constantly surrounded by animals. My schedule revolves around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any special care needs like medication or bathing. It's more than just a job to me—it's a passion that I truly love and enjoy every day! I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home. I stick to their routine, give them lots of attention, and keep the space clean and calm. Safety and trust always come first—I treat them like my own!


“Bre was fabulous!!! She made leaving my dogs for the first time with a rover sitter so easy and stress free. She sent pics and updates frequently cuddling with my dogs so I knew they loved her. And even put up with my very high energy puppy. She left the house clean and just as we left it. She’s coming back next weekend to watch them again and I’m so happy to have found someone I trust with my babies.”


“I can’t recommend Austin enough! He sent regular updates, communicated clearly, and was really tuned in to how Bear was feeling. I felt totally at ease knowing Bear was in such thoughtful hands. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup—and I’ll definitely be booking again!”


“Leah was fabulous! She was so patient and willing to work with my feisty puppy who just turned a year old. With her background she was gracious with his anxiety and they connected beautifully!!! Leah kept me in the loop and sent great pictures so I could be worry-free and enjoy my trip. I will definitely use Leah’s services again and again!!”


“Gwen went above and beyond. Got regular pics of the dogs who seemed to be loving their time. She followed instructions really well and kept us informed. Good experience and treated the dogs and the house like her own. Will definitely be using her again!”


“Courtney was absolutely incredible! She accommodated our last-minute booking with such grace and professionalism. From the start, her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring—which made us feel so comfortable. Most importantly, our pups were so well taken care of and came home happy and relaxed. We’re beyond grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the genuine love she showed our dogs. Highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”


About: I have taken care of my own dog since I was 13 (walking, feeding, brushing, playing, etc.) and have volunteered at my local animal shelter for three years helping them get adopted. I have also pet-sitted many times for friends and family. I love all pets and would love to meet some more! I am currently on a break from studying at university so I have a lot of free time until late september! I am looking for a part-time job but not one that will take up too much time so that I can still provide my services. I am very experienced in walking dogs (especially in this scolding heat) as well as giving them all their basic needs and attention. I love going on long hikes/walks with dogs if that is ever something that they would like. I have also volunteered with cats and owned one as a child so I am well versed on all their needs! I will make sure all pets as given a lot of affection (if they like that)!

“Courtney was wonderful with our pets and our home! We received daily photos and updates and totally felt at ease on our trip as we could tell the dogs were being very well cared for. We will definitely be calling Courtney to stay anytime we go out of town- she’s the best!”


“Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous with our sweet little Oakleigh. She made us feel very comfortable leaving for the weekend. We’ve never we used Rover before and we will for sure contact Beth again. I know that Beth will always be our go to sitter.”


“Katie did a great job with caring for my 2 male cats for a week. One of my cats had been recently diagnosed with a medical issue. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Katie was staying at my house & frequently checking up on him.”


About: I have been around and had animals most of my life. The love they can give you is compared to none. I enjoy taking care of a variety of animals. I am available for morning, afternoon and evening walks Sunday through Saturday. And for overnight stays in your home, I am available Sunday through Saturday. I am meticulous in providing amazing, loving care in your home. No need to worry about a thing. My family has a cat so I would not be able to care for pets at my home. But I do think animals are less stressed staying in their own environment.

“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She kept us updated the entire time we were gone and did an amazing job with our dogs. We will absolutely be going through Sarah for future dog sitting!”


About: I've been working with animals since for most of my life. Growing up I've had all types of animals to care for ranging from dogs and cats to lizards. I've worked with several families over the years to watch over their pets. I am currently on college summer break and am volunteering at the animal shelter. So, my schedule varies day by day but is mostly free, and I am able to be flexible with whatever works for you and your pet! As someone with pets themself, I value a space with consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, feeding on schedule, and affection. In client homes, I respect routines, safety, and keep pets comfortable with a stress-free environment!

“THE BEST DOG SITTER EVER!!!! She sent me pics everyday, my house was cleaner after she left lol My pups x3 adored her. I have never been more pleased! Highly recommend and she is a great communicator. You will feel at ease knowing she is in charge!”


About: I had my own dog for 12 years before she passed a few years ago. I also had a roomate with a dog for two years! I do work full time but I am available before and after work to tend to everything the animals will need as long as they are okay being home during the day! I have such a love for animals and want them to feel loved and cared for during their stay. I am very accommodating to whatever you’re animal may need!
