“Mariah took great care of my dog. We were living in a new home and she helped him to adjust and become very comfortable and confident in his new environment. She was extremely professional and easy to communicate with before and during her visits. Highly recommend her services!”

“Alex did great with my boys. They were happy and she helped with my little guys medication. My dane is over 100 pounds and a playful puppy. She kept good communication and was super helpful. We'll definitely book with Alex again.”

“I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Monique. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every possible way. This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had with a pet sitter. She made sure my dog felt completely safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. You can truly tell she has a natural connection with animals and treats them as if they were her own. My dog can be a little particular, and she handled everything with so much patience, care, and attention to detail. My dog loves her 🤩 What I appreciated the most was her communication — she kept me updated throughout the day with messages, photos, and little updates that gave me so much peace of mind. I never once felt worried because I knew my dog was in the best hands. She was also incredibly reliable, punctual, and respectful of my home. Everything was exactly as I left it (if not better!), and she followed all instructions perfectly. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but she exceeded all expectations. I would 100% book her again and again without hesitation and highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly exceptional. Thank you so much again for taking such incredible care of my baby! 💛”


“We had an amazing experience!! He went above and beyond for Mr. Kitty while we were away, giving him tons of attention, keeping us updated with photos and videos, and making sure Mr Kitty was completely comfortable the whole time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our furrbaby was in such caring hands. We’ll definitely be rebooking again. Highly recommend!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind my whole life, with a special passion for large breeds. Growing up with my own large dogs and walking neighborhood dogs throughout high school and college has given me hands-on experience with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs — especially the big ones who need plenty of exercise and attention. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight sitting, or just some quality playtime, I’m committed to keeping your dog happy, safe, and well-cared for. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available every day until 2pm, plus evenings and weekends for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. Whether you need morning playtime, midday check-ins, or full overnight stays, I can work around your schedule to keep your dog happy and well-cared for. I prioritize leash safety and secure handling on every walk. With years of experience, I’m confident walking large and even reactive dogs using proper techniques and equipment to keep everyone safe. Your pup will receive calm, attentive care in a supervised setting. I’m experienced with all sizes and personalities.
“Christian is fantastic. He stayed with our two dogs for the first time and right away, made me feel at ease. He is quick to respond, very cooperative, polite and it’s evident he really loves animals. I would recommend Christian to anyone in need and will definitely ask him to return!”

“Avery was absolutely amazing! Our dogs loved her and she left our house incredibly neat and clean. I would absolutely suggest her to everyone and I plan to use her again!!”


About: I’ve had a passion for dogs since I was young and have spent the past few years fostering and caring for dogs of all temperaments and energy levels. I’ve also volunteered with the Young-Williams Animal Center, helping dogs find safe, loving homes. When your dog is with me, they’re treated like my own—whether that means structured walks, playtime, or just a calm environment to relax. I’m very active and happy to take high-energy dogs on runs or long walks to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and adapting to each dog’s unique needs so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I work a full time job but have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work on my own time. This gives me the flexibility to meet your needs. Sunday: Anytime Monday: Anytime Tuesday: Anytime Wednesday: Anytime before 6pm Thursday: Anytime before 6pm Friday: Anytime before 6pm Saturday: Anytime before 6pm When caring for pets, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, medications (if needed), and any specific preferences your pet has. For dogs, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, whether that’s walks, playtime, or runs for higher-energy dogs. For cats, I prioritize a calm environment, maintaining their routine, and giving them attention based on their personality. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Cleanliness, safety, and making your pet feel comfortable are my top priorities.

About: I tested myself with my first dog at age 12, now with both sisters starting to become seniors, I have had experience with all age groups of dogs and cats. On top of that I have pet sat many dogs including 7 bull dogs at a time, which required much attention due to their high maintenance nature. I would mainly be doing this in the mornings and afternoons, as I have part time job and a student. But I am open to some weekends. I make sure my dog is walked on a daily basis both day and night making sure she lets everything out before going in, I also stay on top of feeding and taking care of her.

About: My experience being solely responsible for pets and playing with pups ranges all the way back to when I was in elementary school about ~25 years ago. Over all the years many friends and family members have asked me to watch their pets in several capacities. This could be for just a few days to somewhere around 10-14 days. Taking their pets to my home, stopping by theirs a few times a day, or just taking them out on a whim when needed. I wanted to extend the same courtesy to my neighbors. When I learned what boarding rates were I couldn’t believe it. I’m in this more to help folks out who need the assistance (especially in a pinch) than I am to derive any form of surmountable income. I am retired from the United States Army and care more about helping/leading others than I do profiteering from them. Being retired and working part-time, I find myself with lot of time and availability to help those who need it, especially in a pinch. I never find myself meeting a pet I don’t click with almost immediately, so I am open to taking on new pups, felines, and of course their caring owners. Once an initial conversation is had it’s very easy to fit the mold of a pet’s routine and/or preferences. Please let me know how I can best assist you and your loved ones.
“Celeste's communication while we were away was fantastic! It felt like she really understood how important our pets are to us and kept us updated to date! We came home to happy pets and a clean house.”

Channelside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alexandra did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our two golden retrievers during our 10-day vacation! From the start, she was incredibly communicative and kept us updated with tons of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She spent so much time playing with them, keeping them happy, active, and loved. She even asked permission before treating them to pup cups, such a thoughtful and considerate touch! It was clear our dogs were having the best time and were in wonderful hands. We came home to two very happy pups and a stress-free experience. We highly recommend Alexandra to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive house sitter/pet sitter!

Top notch here. Keirstin did a fantastic job home-sitting my pup for 4 days. Sent pictures and updates without being asked and left my home in perfect shape. I've had some doozy sitters on this app, but Keirstin sets herself apart. Without a doubt, I hope she is available to watch my pup again.

We’re so grateful for Logan (William) and his amazing care for our big baby Luthor💖 Logan made time to do a meet up before our short notice booking and Luthor loved him right away. We had complete confidence in Logan’s ability to care for Luthor and our home. He is a professional and extremely competent. Logan sent pictures of Luthor and their time together daily and his communication was outstanding. I was able to totally relax on my trip out of town because I had full confidence Luthor was being well cared for and was totally happy with Logan.

This was an outstanding experience! Liz took the time to meet our pets before we made our decision, which gave us peace of mind. Her experience and education in animal care are evident, and she has a natural affinity for animals. Throughout her stay, she kept us updated with regular videos and photos, ensuring we were always informed. We returned to a perfectly clean house…trash taken out, beds stripped, and more. We will definitely book with Liz again as soon as possible!

This is our second time booking with Leah and she is fantastic! She stayed over during our wedding weekend and a few days before one of our little guys hurt his back leg. She kept an eye on him while keeping us updated. Very responsible, great at communicating, left the house clean, 10/10 :)

We had a great experience with Olivia our house sitter over Easter weekend! She took wonderful care of our two golden retrievers, Jackson and Parker, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout her stay. It was clear the dogs were happy, well-exercised, and comfortable in her car. I’d highly recommend Olivia
