“Sarah was great with Freddie - very caring and great with communications. I felt very reassured and comfortable leaving him in her care. I would definitely recommend Sarah and would book her again in the future!”
“Holly was so great! Molly is still a puppy and this is our first time hiring a dog sitter so we were a bit nervous. But Holly is fantastic and we would let her watch her anytime. Holly sent many picture updates which was so nice. We will for sure be hiring Holly again!!”
About: My friends always said that I must have been a dog in my past life. I have always grown up with dogs and if I’m not working or at home taking care of my own, I’m at my friends hanging out with theirs dogs rather than them. I’ll treat your furry family members as if they were my own, even if that means saying goodbye at the end of the night. To keep things simple, I am here to give out the love these fur babies deserve when mom and dad need to work, go out for a nice dinner, or just get out of the house! I am very much so looking forward to meeting your pets and being a part of their life! As a devoted pet owner myself, I truly understand the importance of a reliable routine and the peace of mind that comes with quality care. My workday runs from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM, so I am always up early to ensure pets are walked, fed, and given plenty of love before I head out. I offer full availability every evening and enjoy a flexible schedule with every other Friday, weekend, and Monday off, allowing me to dedicate entire days to your animals' needs. Whether it's early morning exercise or extended companionship on my days off, I treat every pet with the same attention and heart that I give my own. Whether I’m hosting pets in my home or visiting yours, my goal is to provide a seamless, stress-free experience tailored to your animal's comfort. In my home, I offer a secure, fenced-in backyard perfect for playtime and potty breaks. I have two friendly dogs and cats who genuinely adore other animals; while I like to be transparent that the initial meet-and-greet can be a little overwhelming for my pack as they get excited to make a new friend, they settle in quickly and have successfully welcomed many guest pups before. I am equally comfortable and completely flexible with house-sitting in your home or hosting in mine, ensuring your pet stays happy, healthy, and loved in whatever environment suits them best.
About: Well hello🤗! I’m a friendly, reliable pet sitter who genuinely loves caring for animals — and I take the responsibility seriously. I offer care for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, with a focus on keeping pets comfortable, calm, and well cared for while you’re away. Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide attentive care throughout the day rather than rushed check-ins. Whether your dog needs regular walks and companionship or your cat prefers a quiet visitor who respects their space, I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality. I’m comfortable with: -🐾 Dogs and cats -💊 Medication administration (oral, topical, supplements) -🚶 Dog walking (leisurely or structured — your call!) -🏡 House sitting and overnight stays -🐱 Multi-cat households and shy or independent cats -🐕 High-energy dogs and relaxed seniors alike I believe pets do best when their routine is respected, so I follow instructions carefully and communicate clearly. You can expect regular updates and photos, plus thoughtful care that helps you relax while you’re away. I’m happy to help with the little things too — bringing in mail, watering plants, keeping feeding areas tidy — and I always aim to leave your home just as I found it (or better!). Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual. Some want playtime and cuddles, others want calm companionship — and I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m happy to discuss custom care plans and schedule a meet & greet to ensure we’re a great fit. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! 🐾✨ I work exclusively from home from a laptop and am able to take work with me anywhere I go! My schedule is very flexible during the work week (I don't work evenings, weekends or holidays- completely open!) While I currently have no fur babies of my own, I have previously owned pets for over 10+ years, including shy and reactive pets and pets who required medication. I understand the importance of patience with our fur friends and that no two pets are the same. I can tailor my approach to your fur baby's individual and specific needs.
“Absolutely recommended Remy 100%. I was so happy to come home and the house was clean, the dogs were happy. I sincerely appreciate this so much. I am so glad I found someone for helping me and I will definitely reach out to Remy as a first contract in the future.”
“Emily took great care of our 1.5 year old dog who is having issues with separation anxiety. It is clear she loves dogs and made our boy feel comfortable and safe. Would highly recommend her services!”
“Such a lovely young lady came to my house to babysit my dog. We are very happy to have met Cassandra and will definitely be inviting her back. Punctual -yes, sent pictures - yes (many great photos), lovely personality-yes! Plus lots of play time outside as the weather allowed. Glad to have found you on Rover.”
“Sadie was exceptional with our dogs and with our home. The dogs adored her, even our one that is very particular. Could not have asked for a better experience. Our dogs have never been calmer and happier upon us returning from being away. Thank you Sadie!!!”
“Marie was wonderful. We did a meet & greet prior to vacation and it was obvious she really loves animals. She stayed with our dog Walter for 5 days and he barely even seemed like he missed us lol. She sent daily photos and updates which really helped us put our minds at ease while on vacation. Plus you wouldn’t even have known someone stayed in our house, she didn’t leave a trace.”
“First time using Rover and was so very happy with the care Lauren gave my dog Lexy and my home ! I received updates with pictures daily which put my mind at ease. She left my home immaculate and even watered all my flowers :) I will definitely use Lauren again in the future, VERY highly recommended, Lexy gives her a paws up !”
“Gillian was amazing - kept in touch while we were away, sent us photos every day - Juno loved her! We could relax knowing Juno was being taken care of and happy at home.”
About: I have owned & operated Joy’s Rescue since November 2015 rescuing over 80+ animals from dogs, cats & pocket pets. I have worked with all age ranges & worked with a lot of special needs animals. In past even finding accurate prognosis & saving lives. If you have any extra pets beyond cats and dogs we can arrange something that works best for everyone! I love absolutely all animal as my own - no matter how long I get with them. I am personally available whenever is needed. Any prior obligations can be worked around. Your pets come first always, whatever schedule your pet has is now mine own. I always request to go to clients house, based on operating a rescue from my home & this provides less change and less stress on all pets not having to loose their owner and be relocated all in the same day. Keeping them happy, safe and stress free is priority on all accounts.
“Marisa was very kind and gave regular photos/updates on Plato. She communicated very well and was very accommodating with our fluctuating plans. Would recommend her services!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have a black lab named Kyla who is just over 2 years. I love playing with them and making sure they are happy and feel loved. As a student, I organize my schedule around classes and study time, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I can stop in for feedings, playtime, and check-ins between classes, and I’m usually free in the evenings and weekends. My flexible schedule lets me give consistent, reliable care while still keeping pets happy and comfortable I follow each pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. In a client’s home, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, refresh their water, clean litter or messes, and spend time playing and giving attention. I also keep an eye on their behaviour to make sure they’re happy and healthy. My goal is to maintain their normal environment and give them the same care they’re used to
“Incredible experience! Our dog Watson warmed up to Heaven so quickly which is unusual for him. We felt comfortable and confident going out knowing he was in great hands.”
About: Deep love and care for animals. I would love to help you out with all your pet care needs. Contact me for bookings. Thank you! I work from home so I’m available at all times, day & night to walk your animal (if needed) and put them out for potty in my fenced in yard! I like in a very safe & clean neighborhood so your animal will always be in a safe environment. I have a big home with no other animals so your pet will have the one on one attention that it deserves. My yard is fenced and I will have toys, crates leashes and any other safety measures ready to go to ensure a safe & fun environment
About: I've always had dogs, cats, or tortoises at home. I love being in the company of pets. I am careful and attentive to the animal's needs, such as restrictive diets, hygiene, well-being, and leisure. I don't have a permanent job yet, so my hours are very flexible. I live in a quiet neighborhood, and my neighbors also like pets, so we won't have any problems. I live in an apartment with ample space and a large balcony. I don't mind pets climbing on my furniture. I live in a quiet neighborhood with parks for walking with a pet. I enjoy playing with cats and dogs and petting them.

Charlene took the best care of my cat while I was gone! She sent constant updates, was very easy to communicate with and left my place clean and tidy. I appreciate her love of animals, ability to connect with my cat and give him proper play and affection while I was away.
Amanda did a great job looking after our two (40 lb) dogs while we were away. It was clear at the meet-n-greet that she is experienced with (and loves!) dogs as she knew how to approach our more skiddish dog, and the more assertive one. Amanda provided regular check-ins with me to let me know how they were doing and sent photos and videos knowing how much we missed them! Those with dogs know how incredibly important it is to trust that your dogs - your family - are well taken care of in your absence, and Amanda delivered! A huge thank you to Amanda - you’re going to make traveling a possibility now!
Noelle took care of my dog Moe for about 10 days. She was fantastic! She took Moe on car rides (his favorite) and many walks, and kept me updated frequently with photos. Moe is very dog reactive and Noelle had no issues with him. She kept the house looking fantastic and was a genuinely amazing person! Moe and I will be repeat customers for sure :)
Aishwarya was fabulous. My dogs are very cuddly, and she indulged them the whole time. The pictures of them all cuddling on the couch was very much appreciated. I would not hesitate to use her again and I would encourage anyone to give her a call. She will treat your babies wonderfully.
