Recently traveled out of state, and had to scramble to find a sitter for my dog and cat. Having never used a service like Rover I rightfully skeptical. I am so happy I connected with Devynn, from the first moment I met her I felt at ease about the decision, and I could tell my dog Peggy, cat Stella felt the same. Devynn kept me posted with photos the whole time and was super communicative, it was very apparent she looked after them like they were her own! Thank you again Devynn 😊

Victoria was amazing with our dog while we were gone. Our older dog unfortunately passes away a week before we left town and we couldn’t change our plans so we were so worried about our younger dog. Victoria gave her lots of love and attention and made sure she was kept occupied a lot so she didn’t get sad. She even brought her dogs over to play with her and brought them to our dog park. We couldn’t have been more grateful to her for taking such good care of our baby. We would recommend her 100%

About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I’ve raised puppies—like my sweet girl River, who I had from 8 weeks old to 3 years—I’ve grown to love the rhythm and bond that comes with dogs at every stage of life. What sets me apart is a deep sense of patience, attentiveness, and love that comes from years of hands-on experience. I’m especially comfortable with routines, emotional needs, and making sure your dog feels safe and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, mellow, senior, or somewhere in between, I show up with calm energy, genuine care, and a heart full of love for every pup I meet. I currently work remote so I have the flexibility to go on walks during the afternoon, evening, early morning or whenever they need to go out! I’m currently in an house with no other pets. I have plenty of room for them to hangout and feel safe. I’ll make sure they get lots of cuddles and walks.

About: Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, and bunnies, caretaking has always been second nature to me. As a former teacher, I am now leaning fully into my true passion, and bringing comfort and happiness to pets gives me so much genuine joy. Whether your family member is a high-energy pup, an independent cat, or a gentle senior who needs a patient touch and daily medication, I treat them with the exact same structure, love, and respect I would give my own. I can't wait to keep your furry best friends safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled while you're away! Because my other part-time commitments total only 6 hours a week, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of open time to focus entirely on caring for your pets! Here is exactly when I am briefly away each week: Weekday Evenings (2 total): At a gym, I coach a few adult workout classes in the evenings. Sunday Mornings: I teach Sunday school to preschoolers for a brief session. Outside of these short windows, my days are completely open. This minimal schedule allows me to offer highly attentive, consistent care, adapt easily to your pet's normal routine, and provide plenty of companionship throughout the day! Whether welcoming a pet into my home or staying at yours, safety and clear structure are my top priorities. My home is a pet loving environment shared with my friendly dog and two cats. To ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable, I utilize sturdy pet gates to easily separate animals for quiet time or feeding, and I am more than happy to accommodate crating upon request. Because my part-time jobs take up only 6 hours a week, pets in my care receive constant supervision and a highly consistent routine. As a former educator, I am meticulous about following your exact instructions, maintaining strict safety boundaries, and keeping you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are safe, respected, and thoroughly loved.

I can not say enough great things about Libah. She made my trip so much better because I had no worries about leaving her with my boy Journey. She provided daily pictures and messages. Some days there were multiple communications. She was absoluty great. I would without a doubt, would without hesitation use her again. Trust me if you are looking for a sitter, she is the one you should go to!!

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely care about making both pets and owners feel comfortable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and home with someone else, and I treat that responsibility with a lot of care. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to the little details that help pets feel secure, from keeping their routine consistent to giving them the right mix of affection, space, and structure. I also write everything down and make sure I have the routine down to a T. I’m comfortable with pets who have different personalities and needs, whether they’re shy, anxious, energetic, senior, or still learning the rules. I have been around large dogs as well as smaller dogs and cats all my life. I can comfortably handle all sizes of pets. I follow instructions closely, communicate clearly, and always try to care for pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. I pride myself on being deeply organized and always giving 100 percent, as well as being an open communicator. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Pet care fits well into my current daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and am able to plan my day around each pet’s needs. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible because I know consistency can make a big difference, especially when their owner is away. I care for pets in their own home because I know many pets feel safest and most comfortable in a familiar environment. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the space with the same respect and care I would want from someone caring for my own home. Safety and trust are very important to me. I’m very mindful of each pet’s personality and comfort level. Some pets want attention and playtime right away, while others need patience, space, and a calm presence. I do my best to meet each pet where they are and keep their routine as normal as possible. I also take caring for someone’s home seriously. I keep things clean, tidy up after pets, respect the client’s space, and communicate clearly if I notice anything unusual.

Debbie took great care of Moxie. I'm always nervous leaving my girl with a new sitter, but Debbie put me right at ease. Her two dogs are sweet and calm and it was great for Moxie to have companions. If your dog is nervous, she has ways to keep them separated. I appreciated the daily updates, photos, and videos and reassurance so I could relax and enjoy my business trip. I will definitely leave Moxie in Debbie's care again.

Usually I travel with my German Shepard and Doxie but this past Christmas break I knew I wanted to travel without them but I was skeptical about leaving them with anyone else. I reached out to many people on Rover but after meeting Danielle I felt comfortable making the decision to having her stay at our home to house sit and watch both dogs. Needless to say, she did not disappoint. I received many updates and pics that let me actually enjoy my vacation instead of worrying or feeling guilty. I would highly recommend Danielle!

About: I’ve been taking care of family members, dogs, friends, dogs, my family dog since I was about 10 years old I’ve always loved dogs playing with them taking care of them making sure they’re feeling great! I’m currently working part-time at a spa I can go before my shift and after my shift my hours are flexible and I also have days off where I can let them out multiple times during the day! My service that I do offer is housesitting at the clients house and I would be accommodating to whatever rules they have if they have a fence that’s fine if they don’t that’s also fine. I can throw the ball around. I can play with the pets to let energy out!

About: I've been pet sitting privately for over eight years and added energy healing (BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique) to my repertoire for animals and people in 2023. I'd be happy to direct you to my personal site for testimonials or share some of the 50+ five-star reviews I've amassed on other platforms. Animals take to me very quickly, and I absolutely adore them! I have many regulars who reach out to me before anyone else because they feel complete peace of mind when I am with their pets. I know how important that is and love to provide that with an abundance of photos and updates. BEST energy work helps heal physical issues, as well as emotional challenges, like separation anxiety. Please note that while I love and do B.E.S.T. with all animals, at this time I am generally only accepting live-in pet sitting requests with cats. I do much of my work remotely, and even my most food-forward feline regulars allow me to focus fully when I'm holding a session. Most of them even curl up right next to me. Due to the nature of my remote energy work, I am only accepting cat sits at this time. They tend to love my work as much as my play! I stick to whatever schedule and routines the animals are already used to, unless otherwise requested. I am very sensitive to animals' needs and catch on very quickly if they need anything.

Nicole was a fantastic find. We rescued Ellie Mae 3 weeks ago, but had a planned family vacation and no one to leave her with. We decided it would be best for Ellie Mae to leave her in the home she was becoming accustomed to and have someone stay here. We had a meet and greet with Nicole and were immediately impressed with her. She sent texts with pictures and stayed in touch the entire time we were gone. Just a few of the things she did that we didn’t ask for or expect was clean the house, run the dishwasher, wash towels and water the plants. We could not be more pleased with her and highly recommend Nicole.

About: Hi all! Thank you so much for considering me for your services or upcoming trip. I have been working with dogs and house sitting them for almost 10 years. With my job, I have some flexibility and I'm looking to take care of about some amazing dogs around our community. I promise you that your dog will be well taken care of and enjoy lots treats and fun! I currently work Monday through Friday during business hours, however, I have lots of flexibility in my work and I would love to be available to take care of your furry child. I currently live in an apartment and I clean it daily to prevent hair buildup from around the apartment. I wipe and mop daily, and I run a robot vacuum to assist with those abilities. I believe if you have a clean home that you have a clean and well organized life in my apartment is no otherwise. My promise to you is to clean your house daily and make sure that it is even better than when you left.

There isn’t enough room to express how amazing Nicole is! She went above and beyond to make sure this dog mama felt secure with leaving her animals! Pictures every day along with amazing communication. She even left holiday cards with pictures of our babies. Nicole is the only person I want to watch my “kids” from here out. My only concern is my animals might start to love her more than my husband and I.

My wife and I would highly recommend Ashlee. Sophie, our cocker spaniel, seem to be in great health and appeared to enjoy being around Ashley. She was prompt and sent photos of Sophie to us every day. Additionally, before we got home, she had washed her bed linens and they were fresh and clean in our dryer. The house was spotless when we got back as well. Once again, we would highly recommend her and plan on using her again in the future.
