“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.”
“Jennifer was great! We have 3 dogs and a kitten, she stayed with them while we were at a destination wedding. I received pictures and updates. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog/kitten sitter.”

“Mark is a great sitter that my family has used twice now! The animals love Mark and I'm always getting updates with pictures of them for peace of mind. Absolutely recommend for your pet sitting needs!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Tony. From the very beginning he was responsive to texts. When he came for the meet and greet my dogs did so well. I have never seen them be so clam with someone for the first time. He had a very calming affect on them. For the stay he had great communication, sent so many pictures and kept my boys happy and healthy. I will not hesitate to have him stay and again and couldn’t recommend him enough!”
“Jacob was incredible. He stopped by to meet our boys last week. They immediately took to his kind calming demeanour. He was as very personable and kept us informed periodically throughout the day with pictures and updates on our boys. We are very thankful for him and would use him as our sitter again in a heartbeat.”
“Lauren did a great job. The dogs were happy and she sent regular pictures to let us know how they were doing. She is easy to communicate with and we will definitely use her again!”
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.
“Jaqueline watched our pup while we were out of town and was amazing at keeping us updated and following our instructions. Our dog is a little needy and is used to be around us all the time so leaving him is stressful for all of us. We highly recommend Jaqueline to take care of your pets.”
“Lauren did a wonderful job with my pups!! She was so enthusiastic about them and I could tell that they really felt comfortable with her stay since they hardly noticed me when I came back home! Thanks for your great service Lauren!”
“Samantha is an amazing pet sitter! She was very responsive sending photos of my pups and updates multiple times a day. I felt completely comfortable having her care for my two dogs. I will absolutely have her come again. Thanks Samantha!!”
“Justin did a wonderful job taking care of my social cat and sweet golden! The pets were calm and happy when I returned. Justin stepped in at the last minute and was very flexible. He sent me many photos and updates! Thank you so much Justin! I will call again in the future.”
About: We only take dogs under 40lbs. I have a 5 acres property. 1 acre fenced in so dogs have a safe space to run and play. It is a dogs vacation paradise. My family and I love animals and love helping others. I am home full time to care for your pets like they are our own. I am excited to take care of them while you are away. We have a big family and lots of love to give. We only care for dogs under 40 pounds. This ensures your little furry family members are safe at our home. My property has paths through it and has lots of space. The dogs in our care get a vacation of their own while at our home.
About: I’ve always wanted pets since I was a kid. When I was 10 I got my first dog, a Saint Bernard named Barry. I’ve been nuts about dogs ever since. That grew into a love for all animals, and I have owned horses, cats and dogs over the last 20 years. 10 years ago I accepted a job at an equestrian facility. That opened the door to my first ever pet sit and since then I’ve worked all over the area. I took a break for awhile, due to my schedule becoming to full with other commitments, now I’m back ready to accept some new clients. Obviously our pets are a huge part of our lives. I do not take that responsibility lightly. When I come into a home I bring my heart and passion to the job to make sure the animals under my care feel comfortable, safe and as smoothly adjusted as they can be to someone new in their environment. I have worked with pretty much every dog you can think of. Rescues with timid personalities, small pups, giant breeds. And hard work does not put me off, I most recently spent two weeks rehabbing a German Shepard who had broken her leg. This is not a normal situation but I mention because this happened two days prior to this client leaving. There was very little time to plan and adapting on the fly was necessary. And that’s what I can do, provide a solid plan of care but also think on my feet if the situation arises. I look forward to the conversations to be had here and the new pets that I will meet. I recently switch careers which has boosted my flexibility in providing my overnight pet sitting services which is why I have joined Rover. I specialize in sits that last a week to two, with former experience from the last 10 years I’ve learned how to treat my clients pets as my own and tailor my schedule to their needs. I work fully remote in the banking sector. This means I take work with me to my housesits and can be hands on with the pets during the day. I do require high speed WiFi for work, so I do require that when booking housesits.
“Indre was extremely flexible with her scheduling and was great with the boys. They obviously claimed her while we were gone and everything went smoothly. The house was in great shape when we returned home and”
“Grace was excellent! She provided updates when needed and was very helpful and attentive to our requests and instructions. We came home to a happy, healthy puppy and a clean house. All we could ask for in a sitter! We will definitely be booking Grace again! Thanks, Grace!”
“Carrie has sat our pittie mix twice now We love Carrie and so does our pup. We came home to a clean house in a very happy and content pup. Carrie is great with communication and updates. I feel that I can really trust Carrie. Highly recommend!”
“Caroline is incredible. I have one fur baby that is easy, and one that is a bit difficult due to medical issues. Our male can be a bit difficult and reactive. We met with Caroline and she listened and heard everything we told er about our babies. She asked a lot of question, which was fantastic. She just spent the past 2 days with our babies. She not only earned their trust, but their love. Caroline spent time with them getting to know them, took them on walks, and was fantastic in our home. We know that are dogs are in good hands with Caroline. We will definitely be having her back.”
