“Rachael stayed with our 2 girls for a week at our house. They loved her & we loved that they were in such great hands! While we were gone, we received numerous updates and pictures each day. We returned to an immaculate house! Very professional, Highly recommended!”

“Nishat was awesome. She was communicative, flexible, and helped make our wedding day special at spruce point inn. She went out of her way to walk the dogs to the church where we were getting married so they could be a part of our day. Completely above and beyond the expectation, couldn’t recommend more!!”

“Madeleine was a wonderful sitter for my little pup! Rusty really liked her right from their first meeting. She stayed at my house which was perfect because Rusty is used to someone being home all the time. When I returned, the house was exactly the way I left it. I would highly recommend Madeleine for per/house sitting!”

“Viva was a wonderful choice for our stay in Portland. Our two Goldens loved their time together and she was a great communicator, trustworthy and sweet. Thanks again for a wonderful experience!!”

“We had an excellent experience with Courtney. She sent us daily photos and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs received regular exercise and plenty of attention, and it was clear our cat was comfortable and well cared for as well. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a well-maintained home. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, attentive pet care.”

“I cannot leave a good enough review for Julie. If you are looking for a house sitter, animal lover, someone to hang out with your crew she is exactly who you were looking for. Everyone was happy and well cared for when we got home and Julie was so flexible with us as we had difficult flight cancellations and change of plans during travel. Cannot recommend enough. 10 out of 10.”

About: I bring a lifelong love of animals and a wide range of hands-on experience. I grew up caring for animals of all kinds, have walked dogs and supported adoptions in shelter environments, and have provided reliable in-home care through years of house sitting. I’ve also lived with and fostered cats for most of my life—including young, feral, and undersocialized ones—which has given me a strong intuition for reading animal behavior and offering calm, compassionate care. I'm skilled in administering all types of medications and am happy to handle the day-to-day tasks, from walks to litter box deep cleans, with real care and attention. As a self-employed person with a very flexible schedule, I’m able to accommodate pet care throughout the week—including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to tailor my availability to meet the specific needs of each pet and household, whether it’s daily visits, drop-ins, or walks at off-peak hours. When boarding cats in my home, I provide a calm, private room just for them—completely separate from my own cats—to ensure they feel safe and stress-free during their stay. In a client’s home, I’m attentive to any specific routines or safety needs, including crating dogs if requested. I always prioritize a pet’s comfort and well-being, keeping their environment clean, secure, and aligned with what they're used to.
“Elise was awesome with Oakie! I got updates regularly and I can tell Oakie had a good time. The house was also very clean upon our return which is always nice coming home from a trip. Would work with Elise again for sure!”

“Samantha was incredible! She was so wonderful with the animals, flexible when plans changed and we needed to adapt, and so kind, responsible, and a great communicator and pet photographer 😂❤️ We are so thankful and grateful for her!!”

“Miranda was absolutely fantastic. She was responsible, kind, and caring. She took great care of cowboy for two days and sent me lots of pictures and videos. Cowboy seemed to really like and trust her. Best experience I’ve had with a rover sitter. Very friendly - would highly recommend.”

“Bret accepted our short notice booking and stopped by for a meet & greet before we headed out for a weekend trip, which was great. Our pets are currently pretty low maintenance but it was important for us to have someone stay the weekend while we had some R&R. We’d have Bret back on a future vacation.”

“Lori went the extra mile to ensure that our boy Monty was well cared for while we were away. She even sent us several photos so we wouldn’t worry about him and made an extra trip to the house to be sure that the temperature was comfortable for him.”

“Megan stayed with our dog, Margot, and was excellent. Our dog can be unfriendly to other dogs and Megan followed our instructions to a tee! I can’t recommend her enough. Margot was happy and healthy when we returned and Megan was communicative with photos throughout the stay. So happy we booked Megan!”

“Ally did a wonderful job caring for Butters! She’s a great communicator, responding very quickly to messages, and was very attentive to his needs. Ally also kept our house very clean. We greatly appreciate her help and will definitely reach out to her again. We highly recommend her!!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I’m attentive, patient, and prioritize safety, routine, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. As a med student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my classes around pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week. I follow all care instructions carefully and prioritize safety in both my home and clients’ homes. I’m respectful, attentive, and ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.

“Amy is always an incredible sitter. No matter what happens I know I can trust Amy to take very good care of my pet. Would highly recommend her to anyone seeking house sitting or dog walking services”

“Samantha was a fantastic dogsitter for our dog Dilly! She was a great communicator throughout, sending updates and photos to let us know all was going well. We would absolutely have her dogsit for our pup again anytime!”

“Jamie was a fantastic sitter for my dog Oscar. She will be my go to from this point forward. She was communicative from the point of inquiry through until the end of the booking. She sent regular updates with photos and was happy to respond to any inquiries in between updates. She was respectful of our home and I came back to a well exercised and relaxed pup! It is difficult to trust someone with your animal but Jamie definitely has both mine and Oscars! We can't wait to use her services again!”

Lindsay is very sweet and responsible. My Louie went right up to her and sat on her feet when she came in. That’s his sign of respect and feeling comfortable with her.She took him out for a walk and I could tell he enjoyed his time with her. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her back soon
