“Chloe did a fantastic job taking care of my pups! I loved all the photos and updates. They were happy and my home was as clean as I left it. Thank you, Chloe, Cohiba & Ollie look forward to seeing you soon!”
“Joree was super sweet and communicative. Quick responses and very flexible. Left my place looking tidy and with a happy pup to come home to :) Highly recommend and will use again!”
“First Rover experience & no regrets! I felt like my dog’s needs, wants & safety were Catherine’s top priority and she went above and beyond to help my anxious, senior dog be as comfortable as possible. The communication was great and we loved seeing the regular pictures. I’d highly recommend Catherine & would rebook again if she’d have my quirky little high maintenance pup again :) PS- Catherine did some house sitting & I’m pretty sure my apartment looked better than when we left!”
About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.
“Elizabeth stayed at our house to pet sit for our senior kitty. Elizabeth gave picture updates and was communicative the entire time while we were away. When we arrived, our kitty had clearly gotten tons of care and attention! The house was also kept clean and tidy just like when we left. Will definitely be using Elizabeth on future trips!”
“Khalifa took the absolute best and very spontaneous care of our two dogs. She’s absolutely trustworthy, super communicative. Always kept me updated about my baby’s and they were so happy. I highly recommend her!”
“Danielle C was an outstanding pet and house sitter! I could not recommend her more. She communicated with me throughout her stay, sent amazing photos and clearly loved being with my dogs. I can’t wait to have her back :-)”
“Ian and his partner Anna (which was disclosed to me before booking) did a superior job watching my two pups. Ian was accommodating to my short notice booking request and was even able to squeeze in a last minute meet n greet. I received plenty of updates while I was away and felt totally at ease. I could tell just from the pictures/ updates that the dogs were given plenty of exercise. I came home to a spotless home and happy/ rested pups. 10 stars to Ian, we look forward to booking him again!”
“THIS IS BIG! ROCCO LOVES CAITLIN :D! We threw EVERY spoiled little bratdog curveball at Caitlin and she delivered excellent poochy care with each loving pet, hug and cookie! (Truly, Schnoz was likely a cat in a previous life and is disgusted by all humans' inadequacies.) Caitlin spent three (probably long days) in our home with our moody little knucklehead .. and with us popping in and out. We were all a handful! Caitlin was prompt, caring, detail-oriented and devoted to Rocco having a bestest time ever while Mom & Dad were gallivanting around Funk Fest without him. (He even got to stop at his beloved Golden Lantern where all of the bartenders have finally earned their keys to his heart.) Our happiest moment was when Caitlyn sent over a picture of Rocco ALLOWING her to snuggle him. NO SMALL FEAT! Caitlin, you're a GODDESS, and we're thrilled to have found you! (Rocco is, too, even though he'll never admit it.) See you soon! :D”
“Caroline was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Jasper, Max, and Stella and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, we came home to a house that was even cleaner than when we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Jared was such a perfect fit for what I needed. My dogs were carefully taken care of, and very well entertained by him. He kept me in the know of anything with the pups and was very attentive to one that needs a little extra for her anxiety. I would highly recommend Jared to anyone, I will for sure be a repeat!”
About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I believe they teach us unconditional love, help us stay present, and enrich our lives in countless ways. I love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, though I have a particular appreciation for larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, Dobermans, and Rottweilers. Over the years, I've spent countless hours learning about canine behavior, training, and communication to better understand their needs and how they experience the world. My beloved Miniature Schnauzer, Bella, was my companion for 13 wonderful years. During the last five years of her life, she lived with diabetes, requiring twice-daily insulin injections, regular veterinary care, and cataract surgery. Caring for her taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of providing consistent, compassionate care—especially for dogs with special medical needs. I understand that pets are family. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or extra care and attention, I'll treat them with the same love, respect, and responsibility that I gave my own. I currently work from home while building my real estate investment business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be attentive to the needs of the pets in my care. My day typically starts between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. with meditation and exercise, followed by work from my home office. Because I set my own schedule, I can easily accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, medication needs, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. If your dog is boarding with me, I enjoy incorporating outdoor walks into my daily routine and can provide regular exercise, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I care for pets according to their owner's preferred schedule and routine whenever possible. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and secure, whether they're in my home or their own. I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, medication requirements, favorite activities, and any special instructions. My goal is to provide attentive, loving care while maintaining the routines and boundaries that are important to both the pet and their family.
“Cheryl did an exceptional job staying at my house with my dog. My dog is acting like I never left, which shows she was comfortable the entire time. Bonus- the house was spotless. Thanks Cheryl!”
“Asia was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and made sure we felt comfortable leaving our babies overnight. So available and responsive! Will definitely be booking Asia again :)”
“Abby is awesome! She sent a bunch of photos and updates while we were away, giving us peace of mind as 1st-timers on Rover. Abby was incredibly kind and respectful as our house guest for in-home sitting. Your pets are in excellent hands with her and we couldn’t recommend her more!”
“John was very communicative and took great care of my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Photos or videos each day helped me feel less sad while away. Also, he watered my plants & took great are of my home. I highly recommend John & will call upon him in the future.”
“Jamie took great care of my fur babies. She sent me updates everyday and made me feel assured they were safe and getting love. I was really nervous having to book with someone last minute as my previous plans fell through but all these nerves went away during our meet and greet. Jamie asked great questions and my animals seemed perfectly happy when I returned home. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

Chloe was an excellent house sitter and took wonderful care of both our home and our dog while we were away. She was responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our pup was happy and well cared for. We returned to a clean home and a happy dog, and it was clear that Chloe treated both with care and respect. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.
Khalifa was absolutely amazing. She was very understanding and accommodating—she helped a ton when I made some scheduling and booking mistakes (don’t be like me). Most importantly, she made our pup feel at home at gave him lots of love. She’s an excellent caretaker. 100% recommend.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Deana! She was so wonderful with our very, very quirky dachshund who was sick with pneumonia, and equally as wonderful with our very shy cat. She was also so incredibly responsive and reliable. She picked up meds at the vet, and made sure they both got everything they needed. She also had to deal with a water leak in our apartment and was on top of everything, and overall just very respectful of our space. She is the absolute best house sitter we have ever had, and she is truly amazing. Thank you Deana 🙏🙏🙏
Caroline was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Jasper, Max, and Stella and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, we came home to a house that was even cleaner than when we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone!
Adam is a very caring person who watched over our standard poodle and our house for over 2 weeks. He is very communicative. We got lots of videos and messages about how things were going. He played with the dog a lot and took him for great walks. We would absolutely use his services again!
Marion was incredible with my high needs dogs who have reactivity issues and special needs. She was so kind and patient with their needs, and was super communicative with me and made me feel so comfortable. She went above and beyond in their care and in caring for my household too. My dogs loved her and so did I!
Sarah is amazing… She walked in and could read the personalities of each one of our dogs within one minute of meeting them. She is clearly an animal lover and will take great care of your home and your pets. One of the best we’ve ever had! Thank you so much Sarah for watching our pups!!
