“Eric always takes great care of my dog. He kept my condo clean and tidy, and I appreciated the regular updates and photos while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. I’ll definitely continue to book Eric to look after my dog—highly recommended!”


“Truly the best. Arrived on time (early). Went above and beyond. I'll never let anyone else even look at my dog. If you don't book this nice lady you're simply incorrect. She sent me photo updates, gave treats, really did more than she needed to. Frankly she treated my dog better than I do. Do yourself a favor and hire this nice lady.”


“I am very thankful of Lesley. I really appreciate her time and effort to help me and my family with our dogs, Yuki, Bella, and Buddy. We had a wedding to attend, but with Lesley, we had peace of mind. She is trustworthy, communicative, and patient. I will reach out to her next time when I need help. Thank you, Lesley!”


“Nothing but great things to say about Victoria. This is our third time having her take care of our cat and she is always so great to work with. Our cat loves her so we feel so comfortable leaving her with Victoria. She even went above and beyond and even left our apartment cleaner than how we left it. We really appreciate her level of service.”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly love caring for them. I have experience with dogs, and cats! I understand the needs of different pets and enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. Pet care fits into my routine really well because I enjoy being around animals and I have a flexible schedule right now. I recently graduated from high school and I’m able to plan my days around pet visits and walks. I always make sure I give each pet the time and attention they need. I like the structure it brings to my day, and caring for animals honestly never feels like a chore, it’s something I enjoy doing! When I’m house sitting, I treat your home and pets with the utmost care and respect. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I make sure they get their usual routines like feeding, potty breaks, and playtime. I keep the environment clean and secure.

“Tara looked after our cockapoo while we were away for a few hours. She is pleasant and very easy to deal with. She definitely knows how to please her clients and follows instructions very well. She kept us updated throughout her stay with our pup which was awesome. I would definitely recommend her and will book her again in the future.”

“As always, Angela took wonderful care of my cat Pumpkin while I went away for the night. She left him with full bowls of water, food, and a clean litter box. She as always keeps my home tidy. Pumpkin will be looking forward to the next trip I take so that he can play and snuggle with Angela. Thank you, Angela and a 5 Meow Rating from Pumpkin!”

“Exceptional Cat Sitting Experience with Stephanie I recently had the pleasure of booking Stephanie through Rover for my cat Oliver, and I couldn't be more delighted with the experience. From the moment Stephanie walked through the door, it was evident that she had a special connection with animals. Oliver, who is usually quite reserved around strangers, took to her immediately. Within no time, he was cuddling up to her as if they had been lifelong friends.Stephanie's affectionate nature and genuine love for animals were apparent in every interaction with Oliver. She not only followed all of Oliver's routines meticulously but also went above and beyond to ensure his comfort and happiness while I was away. I felt reassured knowing that Oliver was in such caring and capable hands.Stephanie's dedication to her work as a cat sitter on Rover truly shines through in her attention to detail and her ability to forge strong bonds with the animals in her care. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Oliver and I will definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you, Stephanie, for providing such a wonderful experience for Oliver and for giving me peace of mind while I was away.”

I have cared for a variety of pets, ensuring that I can provide specialized attention to meet the unique needs of your furry and feathered friends. I have gained extensive knowledge in dog care through my experience with my four-year-old Border Collie, Pluto. Having raised and cared for Pluto, I am well-versed in handling dogs with high energy levels and specific needs, especially those that require substantial exercise and mental stimulation. I have successfully completed several house sits, caring for a variety of dogs of different sizes, ages, and medical requirements. My experience includes managing both elderly and energetic pets, ensuring they receive the proper care they need. I've also had the rewarding challenge of looking after multiple pets at once, including three cats and two dogs, which has made me highly capable of managing multi-pet households with ease. I have gained valuable experience through house-sitting for others, caring for elderly dogs, cats, and administering medication when necessary. I am confident in my ability to handle pets with specific needs and give them the individual attention they deserve. As a responsible pet-sitter, I prioritize the well-being of all pets under my care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need.

I look forward to the opportunity to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pets. Best regards, Sayon Since I work from home, there is a lot of flexibility in my daily and weekly routine. This means, I have a lot of time on my hands to care for your pets! I usually like to go on my walks periodically throughout my day, which also fits in line with my fitness goals. Read my reviews from house-sitting: 1. Sayon was our first sitter and he was amazing. We have a timid cat, a second cat and a pretty friendly small dog and within a very short time all the pets were very comfortable. We would highly recommend him! 2. Sayon was lovely, who very obviously loves animals. He is very kind and polite. He arrived for our sit early enough to get to know our two dogs and three cats fairly well before we left. Our pets took to him right away. Even one of our cats who is very shy and usually hides out when new people are around made friends with him quickly. He paid close attention to the welcome guide and other instructions I had left and asked good questions to clarify. We felt very comfortable leaving our gang in his care when we left home. He provided us with regular updates and responded quickly to our inquiries about one of our dogs who had a recent injury. His concern for our pets was very evident. Our 3 year old dog, Jessie, seemed a little depressed for the first couple of days after Sayon left - I think she missed him! We appreciate the care he gave our pets and we are very certain that Sayon will give your pets lots of love and attention in your absence!

“Asritha was a wonderful dog sitter! She came and watched Benji and from the start I knew he was safe with her. She was very loving and compassionate and would communicate well while I was at work. Will definitely use her again!”

“Amanda was a fantastic dog sitter. My dog, Lulu, absolutely fell in love with her, so much so that when Amanda was leaving, she was upset. We left Lulu in Amanda’s care for 3.5 weeks at our home. Lulu has a condition where she throws up the water she drinks and, as a result, needs to be burped. Lulu is also a very picky eater. Amanda sent me pictures and videos of Lulu and constantly updated me regarding Lulu’s vomiting and eating habits. Amanda was so attentive that she even measured how much water Lulu drank to ensure she wasn’t becoming dehydrated just in case she threw up. Amanda followed the schedule I had left for Lulu and played with her multiple times a day in a carpeted area, as Lulu has a knee condition that gets aggravated when she runs on hardwood. Amanda went above and beyond for my Lulu, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a caring, loving, and attentive dog sitter. I cannot thank Amanda enough for caring for Lulu and giving me the peace of mind to enjoy my trip.”
