1. Ricardo S.

“He did an excellent job house sitting while I was away and taking care of my cats during that time. Was very nice and provided frequent updates for my cats.”


2. Brandi B.


“Brandi did a great job caring for our energetic & sometimes mischievous Ollie (3yr old shepherd/husky) for 8 nights. She lovingly cared for him over Christmas and during a blizzard!! She sent pics and communicated well her questions and concerns. We would use her again.”


3. Lucas C.
“Lucas was great with my very anxious and nervous dog. Anny wasn’t very interested in getting outside or doing much but Lucas never gave up on helping her out.”


4. Michelle H.


“I don’t have enough great things to say about Michelle! Our dogs are our heart and to know they were so well taken care of was an incredible weight off our shoulders while we were gone. She sent multiple pictures each day, and we could see our senior dog relaxed and enjoying her company. She was very responsive and treated our home as if it were her home - we were very impressed and cannot wait to have her spend time with our boys again soon!”


5. Phoebe D.

“Phoebe helped out in a last minute situation and was great. She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. I will absolutely book her again!”


6. Ariel M.

“Ariel was great! We booked her to watch our dog and cat while we went on an anniversary trip. It made our time much more enjoyable knowing that our pets were taken care of while we were away. Definitely will be using her again in the future.”


7. Cortney C.

“Courtney was great with our two big dogs! She communicated regularly, sent pics, and was not afraid to ask questions when needed. We really appreciated her care! We would definitely book her services again!”


8. Dawnn B.

“Highly recommend Dawn! She was amazing with my dog Ginger. We did a meet and greet, and I instantly felt comfortable with her. It was obvious she had lots of experience with a variety of dogs, and was unfazed by Gingers quirks. She followed any instructions, and left the house as it was when she arrived. The videos and pictures also helped put me at ease since it was my first time leaving her with a sitter. Ginger was very happy with her, and even left a sweet note for when I returned 😁 We are excited to book with her again!”


9. Averie S.

“My dogs loved Averie. When we returned home they seemed calm and happy. She kept us up to date with their wellbeing and sent photos. Also, The house was in good shape after a 2 week stay. We would hire Averie to take care of our dogs again.”


10. Lillian L.

“Lillian was great! Very good at communicating with us. House was left exactly as it was left, and Lillian was very respectful of our home and pets. Would rebook!”


11. Elyse D.

“Elyse is amazing! I’ve already booked my next vacation and talked about another one after that with her so my fur babies can be taken care of and I know they are in the best hands. She is such an animal lover and treats my fur babies like her own. I never had to worry about them while I was on vacation. She communicates, sends photos and asks questions if she doesn’t know. My neighbor who helps me with my dogs said she also me Elyse and said she was so nice and the dogs loved her and she was always out walking them when needed and was home with them! Thank you so much Elyse! It’s so great to be able to go on vacation and know your fur babies and home are being taken care of! We look forward to your next time!”


12. Megan W.

“One of my dogs barely even eats her food when my husband makes it for her instead of me. Yet she was so comfortable with Megan that she ate every meal! The dogs looked so happy in every one of the many photos she sent, and when we got home the house was clean and our dogs were safe and happy. I've already booked Megan again for our next trip! Highly recommend!”


13. Lexie C.

“Lexie did a great job keeping us updated during our trip! We had a few travel changes and she was very flexible. When we arrived home, the house was clean and tidy!”


14. Nicole J.

“She took such great care of my anxious doggo while there were unforeseen housing issues in my home. She was flexible and very understanding. Would love to work with her again!”


15. Peter S.


“Peter did a fantastic job taking care of our senior golden doodle Maya while we were away for 5 days. We came home to a happy and healthy pup and Peter was very respectful of our home. He also went above and beyond taking out our trash and recycle bins to the curb. We will certainly use Peter again!”


16. Elise B.

About: I have taken care of pets of my own and others since I was a kid. I grew up in a house with 2 cats (darn my dad's dog allergy!) Currently I have 1 cat and 1 dog, both adorable rescues who we love like children! I have experience caring for a variety of kinds of dogs and cats, including some experience caring for senior dogs with medical issues and administering medicaiton and subdermal fluids to cats. I follow all directions to a tee. I also have experience using a pet sitter, so I recognize the importance of knowing your pets are in safe, capable, reliable, and loving hands! I love getting updates and photos of my fur kid when I'm away, so I'm happy to make sure you are worry free. All earnings from Rover go directly toward veterinary bills 😊 I work full time "office hours" but have evenings and weekends free typically. I am currently working from home. I have availability during the day on weekends to care for basic pet needs and have evenings free for fun and exercise. Most of my time out of town is planned well in advance. I am flexible and open to various opportunities. Please note: I may add a 20% last-minute fee if you request service less than 5 days in advance. This is to respect the value of my time and I'd be happy to discuss. I will treat your home like my own and I am happy to take out trash or grab mail if needed. I will consider boarding in my home on a case by case basis. Please note that I do not have a fenced yard. I live adjacent to a public park which is great for dog walks. I currently do not have any of my own pets in my home 👼👼


17. Lia G.

“We are so glad we found Lia - we felt very comfortable leaving our pup and home in her care. We will absolutely reach out when we have dog sitting needs again in the future. Thank you, Lia!”


18. Skyler S.


“It was great having Skyler watch our dog! He was very well cared for and looks like he got lot of love. Skyler spent a lot of time with our pup which was a plus as well. They left our house clean and followed all the instructions we left for our dog. We got updates with pictures while we were away as well. We would absolutely recommend Skyler and would love to rebook with them next time we need someone to house sit.”


19. Jennifer R.

“Jen was amazing with our dog and went out of her way to make sure he had a great weekend while we were gone. We came home to a house that was in even better condition than we left it. We can’t wait to hire Jen for our next trip.”


20. Justin H.

“Justin came over a couple days before he dog-sat to meet my dogs. I have one big dog that’s a little naughty, and Justin picked up after him when he made a giant mess in the house. I also have an older dog, and he kept me up-to-date with pictures and messages the whole time I was gone.”
