“Erika did a nice job of handling Skip, who can be a handful. She was responsive to me when I reached out and sent pictures. The house was neat and tidy when I got home. I was grateful for her work and already have her scheduled for the end of the month.”


“Our second time using Jordyn to watch our dog/home. She’s always very communicative and spends lots of time playing with our dog. We love the photo/video updates throughout the stay.”


“Haylie was wonderful with our dogs. I got daily pictures which put my mind at ease. Best decision we’ve made using Rover and we were fortunate to find Haylie. Will definitely use her again!”


“Grace is a pro! From the start, we could tell Grace had her stuff together and was very experienced and professional. She was great with our crazy boxer puppy, and she gave him all the love and care we needed him to get while we were out for the weekend. We are already booking her up for future house sitting needs! Thank you again, Grace!”


About: I have many years experience with Pets, especially dogs, but cats as well and I have always been able to help them understand how to cooperate. I use positive reinforcement and very clear communication and have been able to help them respond very quickly and understanding what is needed of them. And for me, I respect the unconditional love that they give by returning that, which creates a strong bond. I can express to them and communicate easily using cooperation rather than force. Love is foremost. I am a retired, ultrasound, technician, and I am free almost all days. I have no major commitments to children, grandchildren, etc. to interfere with my pet care routine. I am in good health able to walk even larger dogs with the understanding that they are leash trained. If they are not, I may have to spend some time training them if that is the wish of the owner, and I am well experienced in this training.. I am willing to walk your dog, let him or her out if that is their routine, feed provide water, make sure all their physical mental and emotional needs are met at the time of my visits. I will try to know and understand what they are used to and provide as much of that as possible to relieve the stress of their family being gone.

“Katelyn is easy to work with. She took good care of SKIP who can be a handful at times. She is calm, knowledgeable, and responsible. Highly recommend”


“Iryna did an amazing job and took great care of my pet!”


About: My love and patience for all kinds of animals is what makes myself the go-to sitter for my community! Not only have I been sitting for 2 years, I’ve also grown and developed around many kinds of animals and would now like to expand my pet sitting journey! These past couple of years has brought me many new developments such as bunny care and assisting with 2 litters of newborn puppies. I love meeting new people and their pets! Thank you for considering me! Currently working at Home Depot, My typical week is Monday-Saturday 6am-2pm. I do not have a set schedule and may have a day off between Mon-Sat, but I work around my work schedule to accommodate your pets. I prefer to have instruction written out so I can use it as a reference. I am open to get-to-know-you visit to build comfortability and trust! My goal is to hide by yours and your pets routine as closely as possible! Communication is important to me in order to keep not only our furry friends but also myself safe!

“Jessica is great with our senior dog! It is so comforting knowing we can leave our dog and home with someone who truly cares. I’m so glad we found Jessica and we will continue to utilize her anytime we need a pet sitter.”


About: I’ve had animals my whole life and love interacting with them and spending my time with them! Whether that’s just sitting around or being outside playing/walking! I’m very much an animal person! I work full time but 12 hour shifts so I only work 3 days a week. My work schedule is 7AM-7:30PM. I can wake up early to let them out and feed them and can take care of them when I get home but on my days off my attention goes to them when needed! I make sure I listen to exactly when and how the pets need to be cared for. I don’t over push the walks or the play time. I make sure if I am staying in the clients house that I keep it clean and listen to their rules and expectation for me staying. I also make sure I communicate often and keep up with updates to the clients.

“Samantha was nothing short of amazing! We received daily photos and videos of our baby. She followed all of our instructions. We are so happy with her! We would definitely recommend Samantha and we will be using her again the next time we go out of town!”


“Katy did an amazing job with my reactive dog! I'm always anxious about leaving her, but Katy was great, sent me photos and updates, and I came back to a happy, healthy doggo. She stayed at my apartment for 4 days, and left it clean and tidy. Definitely would recommend Katy, and I'll be booking with her again!!”


“Jacqueline took good care of my Jojo while I had to be on a work trip. She always communicated with me, sent pictures, and Jojo enjoyed being with her. Jojo is a reactive dog, and Jacqueline handled it well. I definitely recommend Jacqueline for dogwalking, sitting, etc!”


“Kristina took such good care of our dog and cat while we were gone. She is patient and understanding of them and sends updates. I never had to worry while I was gone.”


“The best! She made sure my pup was well taken care of and spoiled with all the cuddles hehe thank you so much for helping me stay at ease when being away! Appreciate you so much!”


“I cannot recommend Lindsey enough. Lindsey was extremely responsive, which was a huge green light in the beginning and it only became more true during her stay when taking care of our pets. We had a new puppy and a six-year-old dog and left for two weeks and Lindsey did a fantastic job watching them. She gave us updates. She was honest about things our puppy accidentally chewed. She was respectful of our house when she was housesitting and left everything neater than when she came. I cannot thank her enough for the peace of mind we will be using her in the future. thank you so much Lindsey for everything you did.”


About: For as long as I can remember, my family has always had a couple of pets. I have had and taken care of dogs and cats from 8 weeks old to when they have become seniors. Each dog and cat I've know has had their own distinct personality that I love to try and bring out! Since I am working part time right now, my schedule is fairly open. I have lots of flexibility with my schedule that allows me to give the attention your pets need. No one knows their pets better than their owners, so that is how I get my baseline. I try to learn whatever I can from you to help deliver the best experience possible to you and your pets.

“Sam was great! My whole family loved that she sent photos and updates every day! On our puppy’s birthday, she even got him a b-day hat and treat to help him celebrate! She communicated wonderfully and Fozzie LOVES her!!! So grateful to have found her! Thank you, Sam!!!”


“Incredible. Simply incredible. We had an emergency during Foles’ stay, but she handled it with such grace and kept us updated throughout the entire event. She took exceptional care of both dogs - I swear they miss her more now than they missed us while we were away. Very excited to continue our training with Foles to promote a more calming and nurturing environment with our furry family. Cannot thank her enough for everything!”


“Five Stars!!! Zyanya is the best dog / house sitter you could ever hire. She went above and beyond!!! We were selling our house while she looked after the house and dog, we had showings during our absence and she kept our house in showing condition. She walked the dog while people were looking at our house - she walked the dog during an open house. She was absolutely amazing! Can't recommend her enough!”
