“As being the first time leaving our dogs with a sitter it went great! Shea really made us feel comfortable and did great with our dogs. Our dogs can't wait to spend another day with her as she gave them plenty of attention. She kept us updated daily and sent pictures of our dogs daily. We will be booking with her in the future forsure! Thank you again!”
“Maren was amazing? She helped us out on super short notice when we had to go out of town for a family emergency. It was wonderful knowing she was there taking care of our pups.”
“Samantha was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter for our fur baby Phoebe. She has such love for animals and it defiantly shows! She sends lots of pictures and detailed updates multiple times a day. I highly recommend her!”
About: Over the past decade, I’ve spent much of my time caring for both dogs and cats for friends and family, and now for pets of my own. This care includes feeding, walking, play-time, and general quality time, all of which I love providing daily for my 2 year old golden retriever George 🦮. I’m a teacher looking for a fun and productive way to spend my summer break. I’d love to spend some of that time hanging out with your lovely pets! I’m currently a teacher with completely open availability for the upcoming summer break. Besides daily chores, I will not have much to do and so have completely open availability to care for your pets day and night. I have a large fenced yard with dog door access and a friendly 2-year old golden retriever to keep your dogs company. Crate access is also available if needed, I currently use a massive crate graded for dogs up to 140 lbs. I have one cat as well who prefers to hang out in my bedroom, so he can be easily separated to give your dog space if necessary. Cat litter and food are kept seperate and out of reach from any dogs should they be interested.
“Communication is great. Arrived on time. I really appreciate her patience and willingness to work with my boy on building a relationship since he doesn’t like most people. I am so very happy that he has a new friend that we can rely on.”
“Tanya was wonderful with Rocky. I was nervous to leave him with someone other than family but she was so good at communicating every day,giving me updates, and sending pictures of my little guy. I will definitely have her sit for us again.”
“Jessica was awesome with Duke & Rocky. She was very attentive and caring. It’s obvious she has a lot of experience with pups that don’t get along. We have already booked Jessica for another visit. We are thrilled we found her! Thank you, Jessica!”
About: I am a registered Child Care provider and have decided to expand to pet care. I am patient, have two dogs that are loved and an integral part of my daycare. I aspire to give dogs in my care the kind of love and attention I give to my own. Nothing but the best! I am currently available 7am-7pm. I am flexible and can schedule walk as need for your pet. You decide and I'll make it work for you! I am with my dogs all day long due to my work. They have an automatic food and water dispenser available for them at all times. I am flexible and will do what is best for your pet and what they know and love. The best care and comfort is what I strive for everyday!
“Lance was great. Our dogs have anxiety and don't deal well with change. Lance let us know how things were going and sent pics. Our dogs were clearly not suffering from separation anxiety 😅. They were relaxed and happy for sure. He took great care of the animals and the house. He is a very sweet young man and obviously loves animals. It made our vacation so much easier because we didn't have to worry about what was happening at home.”
“Leslie is THE BEST! She is our go to person! I feel so lucky we found her. It means so much to be able to enjoy your vacation and not worry about your pup and house. Everything is in good hands with Leslie!”
“Sofia has watched our animals twice now and both times have been great. We would definitely recommend her. 😀 She sends photos and checks in often. Our animals love her!”
“Alexis was awesome! She took great care of our girls and our house. She was also available last minute which saved us. She sent lots of updates and pictures of our girls to make us feel at ease. Great communicator! We will definitely be asking Alexis to help with our girls and watch our house again next time we need to leave town. Thank you Alexis!!!!”
“Diana made us feel at ease leaving our fur babies at home for our vacation. We received photos and updates our entire trip and for the first time we didn’t need to worry. I would recommend Diana and Rover a million times over.”
“Laura did an amazing job with Sushi! She followed all the instructions we gave her and sent us cute pictures everyday. I highly recommend her and will be using her services again :)”
“Jennifer was so awesome with our 2 pups! We have one who is slower to trust and warm up but Jennifer worked her magic! She sent us great updates and the cutest photos while we were away and missing the pups. She also left our house very clean and tidy. She was very responsive and a great communicator.”
About: I've had many dogs in my life. Almost my entire life. I've taken care of all kinds since I was a kid. My own, my family's & friend's pets as well. Your pets will be a good hands, treated like royalty, but not too spoiled... I'm recently retired. Any errands I need to run, I take care of before, or after, a sitting job. So when I'm sitting your furry family member, my time is their time. At my home, I have a decent sized, enclosed, backyard. And an extra large dog door, so they can come in & out as they wish. In your home, I would adhere to your wishes and routines for your loved one. Walks, treats, cuddling... Whatever your pup is used to, I can provide. And I am pet CPR certified

Kelly not only took excellent care of our animals she also helped them stay happy and balanced. After meeting with her, I knew they were going to be very well loved and have all their needs met. It was such a relief to know they were in such good hands while we were processing a stressful move. I could not recommend Kelly enough! I will always ask for her first in the future. ☺️
Angelica was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs, Romeo and Julie! From our very first meet-and-greet, we knew she was a great fit. She was warm, attentive, and our pups took to her immediately. While we were away, she kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond by even watering our plants while we were gone. It was clear that Romeo and Julie were well cared for and loved while we were away. We highly recommend Angelica to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. We would absolutely book with her again!
Shannon was so communicative and sent so many pictures of our dogs. This was the first time in a few years we’ve had anyone who wasn’t a friend or family member stay with our dogs when we were out of town, and she took such great care of them. Thank you, Shannon!
Kaiden was an absolutely fantastic pet sitter! He was reliable, caring, and kept me updated the entire time with photos and messages. My pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I returned. I could tell Kaiden genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.
Jasmine is our favorite sitter. Her affection to all our pets (and there plenty) goes unmatched from other sitters through Rover. We love having her a5 the house and so do our 6 pack of dogs and our mama cat. Thank you for all that you do for us and for our fur babies.
We recently had Maren house sit for us. Scarlett was well taken care of during our time away. She seemed her normal self as if we weren’t gone. The house was as clean as when we left. Scarlett was very happy and not stressed when we returned home. We have already rebooked with Maren for the near future. Great job, Scarlett agrees!
Sofia was absolutely wonderful with our dog! From the moment we met her, it was clear how sweet, caring, and attentive she is. She treated our dog like her own, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Most importantly, our dog adored her—which says everything. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will 100% be booking her again.
Madison is such a great sitter! She was great with our reactive dog & even tried to work on it with him during his daily walks! This wasn’t a requirement for us but just shows how she really went above & beyond to care for our baby!! We would rebook with her in a heartbeat!!
Sky was really great. Our cats felt comfortable around her immediately, and she took great care of them and our home. We had a minor miscommunication about feeding, but Sky was very responsive and quickly corrected the schedule. Being able to adjust and correct like that shows a truly great sitter who cares for the animals. Definitely would recommend Sky for pet and house sitting.
Veronica was amazing with my boy. Last minute booking after we JUST moved in, so Mowgli was anlready unsettled and nervous being in a new environment. Veronica went above and beyond, ensuring my baby was well taken care of, giving him his daily meds, loves and snuggles, short walks and even brushes. She kept me completely informed with texts and pictures the whole time. She made a difficult trip much easier for me. We will not hesitate to use her again.
