“Alexander was absolutely wonderful. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous at first. I have a Great Dane and she is my animal child so, like any pet parent, you want the best for them. My dog was very hesitant at first because she was on guard and protecting her home. I left treats at the door just in case. Alexander was so patient with her and feed her treats to gain her trust. As the days went on, the "check-in" photos made my heart smile. I could see London letting her guard down her guard and that was all because of how sweet he was. I will certaintly use him again!”


“Maison was super accommodating & my dog, Luna, loved her! She happily came by the day before my drop-in appointment to meet Luna and to get accommodated with my place. Definitely will be booking with Maison again!”


“Lindsay did an amazing job with Eichi—he was so at ease when we came home after being away all week and that’s a testament to how comfortable and well-looked after he felt with Lindsay all week. This was my first Rover experience and I only regret not having found this sooner—thank you Lindsay!”


“Samantha is great- very communicative, professional and caring! She sent great updates and a lot of photos, which put my mind at ease while traveling. Highly recommended!”


“Regan took wonderful care of my kitten, Charlotte. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a special way with animals - Charlotte warmed up to her right away! I loved getting photo updates and could tell my cat was happy and comfortable. I’m so thankful!”


“Brooke was a big hit with our dogs Moose and Nina. She dropped in on time, gave them tons of pets and treats and delivered meds with ease. Loved having her and hope to schedule again soon.”



“Devin spent the weekend caring for our bulldog, and was wonderful with our very particular pup. He sent us fantastic photos and detailed updates throughout the weekend. It was such a comfort to know that our dog was well cared for while we were away.”


“Cindy is an excellent pet sitter! Our cat took to her right away. She clearly has a lot of experience with cats and it gave us peace of mind that she was caring for him while we were away.”


“I definitely recommend Morgan to any pet parent in need of reliable care with great communication. Morgan was more than happy to stop back in to double check something with our kitties, and we couldn’t be more thankful!”


“Natalia is by far the best person I've had to help w Vito!! Excellent communication and truly cares about animals ! Couldn't ask for someone better ! Thank you so much!!”

“Linnea is the real deal! She did drop in visits for our almost two year old pittie Lucy and I could not have asked for a more capable and professional person for the job. An added bonus is that she loves to teach dogs new commands in addition to caring for them and showing them love. Linnea was spectacular and a high recommend!”

“I can't recommend Hannah enough as a pet sitter! As a busy professional, I often travel for work, and finding someone trustworthy to take care of my two cats, Torti and Simon, was a priority. One of my cats needs regular medication, and both are very friendly and used to lots of attention. Hannah has been amazing with them. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. Every time I come back, Torti and Simon are happy and well cared for. Knowing Hannah is taking care of them allows me to travel with peace of mind. I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who has a family dog on the other side of the state! I have over 7 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, ranging from 3-month-old puppies to sweet senior dogs who want more love than play time. For the past 4 years, I’ve been trusted to walk, drop in, and house-sit for multiple families/friends, providing attentive, loving care while keeping their homes safe and clean. Whether it’s a nice day/evening walk, an overnight stay, or a drop-in visit for a couple of hours during the day, I make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, safe, and entertained. I love going for walks, playing fetch, playing with toys, and giving them all the attention they deserve and need! If your dog loves to lounge and cuddle while watching TV, they'll become a fan of reality TV pretty quickly. In addition to pet care while house-sitting, I will gladly water your plants, bring in and sort mail, and ensure your home stays clean and cared for while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like my own as I watch them, and your home will be cared for like it is my own. I currently work FT in health care, which only requires 3 days of work a week! While my work days vary week to week, I am a home body the other 4 days of the week so your pets will feel loved and cared for while your gone! Since I just bought my house, I am currently not offering boarding in my own home; however, I would be glad to stay over at your place (when available) and care for your pets! If you don’t have a yard, no problem! I will gladly take them for walks around the neighborhood and make sure their needs are met. If your pet needs a drop-in visit for love during the day, we can spend time playing, cuddling, eating some treats (if applicable), and take a bathroom break or two!

About: My dog just passed away so I am looking to bring some furry friends back into my life. I have taken care of my own dog for the last 10 years, and I am well versed in child and pet care! I’m currently working from home 4/5 work days, so my schedule is very flexible! I would prefer to work afternoons during and after lunch time, so essentially anytime after 11! While I can’t watch dogs at my own home, due to roomates allergy issues, I am very gentle with dogs and responsible with feedings and walkings. I am able to follow specific instructions really well, and will do my absolute best job to take care of your furry friend.
